  1. I'm not saying it's Alex Kurtzman. (But it's Alex Kurtzman.)
  2. 400,000 people without homes? Draft them. Solve two problems at once.
  3. So besides what we're giving to them, what else does Ukraine need? Just more of everything?
  4. Well Christopher Nolan wasn’t available, so…
  5. This movie will save Marvel. That’s ironic, and I’m here for all of it. RR got shot down SO many times trying to make DP and it’s gonna totally unfuck the multiverse. ”Let’s fuckin’ go.”
  6. I ease wrong and I’m gonna retract my comments some. China does have stealth fighters. Yeah Pete Mitchell shot 3 of them down, but that was with and F14. And we don’t have F14’s anymore. Joking aside, we have a decided advantage in tech, but not necessarily a numeric advantage in tech. We can shoot down Chinese cruise missiles until we run out of Patriots and then what? China’s biggest advantage is the same as Russia’s: brutality. Especially brutality towards their own people. Just send wave after wave after wave of all those extra <40 yo men they have. There are lots of reasons they could swamp Taiwan with that.
  7. And I think Taiwan is getting F35's? F 35's vs Chinese shitbox SU69's or whatever. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
  8. I think those critics were hoping for more of a backstory, and maybe some politics.
  9. I’m joking. That that $200B and buy weapons. Do it now.
  10. And the Europeans are afraid to straight up TAKE that money, there is a middle ground:
  11. It isn’t an action movie of course, but the action sure is good. Especially the end part. Just a well made movie in general. Writing, characters, cinematography, sound. Its message reminds me of “The Day After” from the 1980’s. It says, gratuitously, “Don’t do this.” When is Jesse Plemons gonna get his own movie? And is there any role Nick Offerman hasn’t killed? He had 90 seconds in this movie and you know exactly what his character is about. I’m surprised there isn’t a CR thread on this movie. Guess Garland managed to split the middle perfectly.
  12. I also worry about the precedent, but we’re at the stage the risk is worth it. We did things in WW2 that were dangerous precedents; some of which were still dealing with. But it was worth it. Same here I think. So again. Many of us are old enough to have been raised to hate the Russians. Is seeing out the dreams or Truman, Goldwater, Regan, John Rambo, enough reason to kill ‘em all, reason enough? It is for me. Let’s take their $300M and buy first-line weapons. And go kill Russians.
  13. Like I presume they have that stuff all on pallets on the tarmac waiting for the President's signature.
  14. Israel has their own intel capabilities of course, but I assume the US is helping them ID targets too?
  15. If we’re being honest with ourselves, and men are allowed to vote, there are a few porn actresses near the top of the list too.
  16. Social Media existed in 2007, but taking it mobile is what made it a globe-defining thing. I remember the first time I saw a discussion board (Tigerdroppings) post done mobile. Likely early 2008. And for a few years, we could trust Social Media. I remember when I set up my Twitter I let them scan my Google contacts and auto follow everyone they scrubbed out of it. Good God can you imagine doing that today?
  17. Indonesian authorities on Wednesday ordered hundreds of villagers to evacuate following multiple eruptions of a remote island volcano, raising fears it could collapse into the sea and trigger a tsunami. Mount Ruang, a 725-meter (2,400-foot) volcano on Ruang Island, North Sulawesi, has erupted at least five times since Tuesday night, spewing fiery lava and ash plumes thousands of feet into the sky, the country’s volcanology agency said. Agency chief Hendra Gunawan said officials had raised the volcano alert to the highest level, warning people not to go within 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) of the peak, due to fears Mount Ruang could partially collapse into the water and cause a tsunami, as it did in 1871. https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/17/asia/indonesia-mount-ruang-volcano-eruption-intl-hnk/index.html
  18. Article 5 that shit. NOBODY fucks with Muleshoe, Texas.
