It's not a bad counterargument to that claim, we've just moved so far past that into the cost-benefit-analysis stage. The cost to keep the 2nd ammendment as it is is pretty fucking high.

This, dear children, is called "blasphemy," and you used to be burned at the stake for it. But God's just such a swell guy that our dear Fuher Carrot Man is exempt because he's just that cool.

Question: We've seen sand-filled missiles due to corruption and cronyism, and they were actually transfered to the front line expecting to be live munitions. How many Russian ICBMs do you think are truly functional between the "new" ones and the 70yo cold war hulks?

To be clear, I don't revel in the idea of a war between the Ruskies and NATO, but Putin is certain to be wondering this, too. How effective are his strategic assets, truly? I'm sure the CIA has figured that out and is guiding US response on that intel. They know exactly how far an insecure dictator can be pushed.

If you haven't read The Last Human by Zack Jordan, I highly recommend it. In between chapters, the reader is treated to excerpts from an Asmovian encyclopedia that explains the rules of the intergalactic society that the sole remaining human, the main character, has to navigate.

As part of joining the trillion-species-strong network, a species must fill out a form to dictate the nouns and adjectives for your species, home star, homeworld, sexual divisions (where applicable), and so on. It's noted in the book that since there are so many species already assigned values in the database, the encyclopedia warns that names like Earth, dirt, mud, moon, star, sol, and home are already taken, and are constantly rejected in proposals.

We've been piping them 5% of the DOD budget for like 40 years, gave them iron domes, rifles, aircraft, and tracks and wheels, with ammunition for the lot. I think we've done our share as an Ally, and Israel's actions can only reflect poorly on us when they use our tools to excercize manifest destiny.

I've never held an rpg-7, but what I know of Russian engineering is that it must be so well balanced and fly so true.

People don't think of innocuous, private, tech-facilitated conversations with loved ones as things to hide. That is, until they're receiving advertisements for caskets after papi kicks it.

That's an old white-hat trick. If the tables drop, the wrap helps them bounce.

It would activate the FEMA fund and allow for a pool of executive spending for disaster relief, yes.

The unmatched hubris of the SysAdmin.
