Or… They also remove the moratorium to drive the point home.

Well this guy was the Vice Chief from 2022-2023 and became Chief in 2023. So that’s under the Biden administration, for what that’s worth.

I get what you’re saying, but the more direct comparison would be to the Chief of Staff of the Army, not the President.

I gotta say, I spent a solid minute on Google Images trying to find a picture that made him look more badass than the professional headshot photo, but a good half of the images are him in readers.

Arming your "enemy’ immediately before attacking them seems like a very stupid idea. So par for the course with this administration.

You’re right. The criteria for law enforcement is lower. They take the military rejects.

Or it was intentional, of course. Losing a phone while travelling is a reasonable cover story.

I don’t know if it’s funnier that Miller is being called an aide as opposed to a handler, or that his name wasn’t even mentioned in the headline.

The Christofascists need Israel to rule the region as an ethnostate, it is a prerequisite for the Christian end times.

And YHWH declared to His “scattered” followers, “For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land…Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God.” (NIV Ezek. 36:24, 28)

And the current events seem to be directly moving towards these various prophecies, likely intentionally directed by various State actors as well. World War 3 being based in the region is certainly a possibility looking more likely by the day.

“I will make Jerusalem and Judah like a cup of poison to all the nearby nations that send their armies to surround Jerusalem. Jerusalem will be a heavy stone burdening the world. And though all the nations of the earth unite in an attempt to move her, they will all be crushed.” (NLT Zechariah 12:2-3)

Asia you under the impression that the Russian Shadow Fleet is flying Russian flags?

Or are you just curious which flags they’re using at the moment?

You never met my old orange. Plastic wasn’t an issue for him somehow. Just took longer.

Ukraine did not have the infrastructure at the time to be able to even safely store the nuclear weapons they had. The nukes weren’t going to stay either way at the time.

Rushed CGI is different, doesn’t matter if it’s bleeding edge or not.

Meh, just a hard floppy. Although I really did appreciate my Zip 100 drive for that storage space before writable CDs came along.

There’s a decent chunk of people that watch them solely for the bleeding edge CGI technology.

Others that like those kinds of stories. Nothing in the story is unique. Avatar, Pocahontas, Dances With Wolves, and numerous others are all fundamentally the same story told in different ways. There’s a reason these stories keep being told and people still like watching them.

Oh no, there’s going to be all sorts of government contracts paid out for this. THEN nothing will be done.

One could make the same argument about creating a more complicated solution when a simple one solves it for 99% of users. Especially when the remaining 1% will know the difference based on what they’re doing, regardless of the icon used.

There’s a good reason that these two icons are currently different.

Not really, it’s just legacy, the same reason the save icon is still a floppy disk in most programs. That’s what it’s always been.

You may make the distinction between saving a document and downloading a document, but most people don’t pay anywhere near that amount of attention, and don’t care about specifics.

Can’t skip a generation, gotta go from the floppy disk icon to the HDD icon for a while first.

Why does it need to be separate? The end result is the same, the file on your device. Where it is coming from makes no difference.

99% of users won’t care at all.

It’s infinitely more accurate than a floppy disk icon.

For 99% of users, the specifics make no difference at all.

It’s closer to reality than a floppy disk icon, that’s for sure.
