  1. It's also in the video and you can see it with your eyes
  2. You're thinking about it from an educated perspective. An active duty jarhead in his early 20s barely knows other countries exist, let alone their history or where they are located.
  3. Ask him what his twitter handle is
  4. I think this kind of advocacy is tricky to navigate. I say that because while we would all like to see this guy and other people that do incredibly perverse shit like this go away for a long time/perhaps forever...in the end, making it easier to imprison people for life is a dangerous prospect, because it's impossible to keep such a system narrowly focused on the Caleb Elliotts of the world. Inevitably, the list of undesirables grows larger and larger, and eventually that person people getting out of prison was in there for being gay or having the wrong political opinions, but the resulting cul-de-sac hypothetical remains unchanged.
  5. Oh yeah sure I get it, I'm just saying I think him leaning into it was as dumb as you do. You're certainly free to talk about whatever you like, as am I!
  6. Or simply getting it removed. My best friend IRL is a jarhead and he had a fucking Celtic cross on his back that he got in Japan when he was active duty because he thought it looked cool and he damn near made it to 40 before he knew that it had been co-opted by white supremacist/Neo-Nazi groups. The dude was so rarely shirtless that I didn't notice for years until we were out on the lake one day like 8 years ago.
  7. You realize we're having this conversation because someone asked what all the hoopla was about right lol You need to calm your crazy ass down sometimes before you bust a blood vessel in your eye
  8. That seems a little on the nose and it's 3rd hand info but ick if true
  9. Lol do you think the average fan gives a shit about what Kirby Hocutt has to say. He is a politician after a soundbite and the internet chatter that fuels shit like this is not real life. All this over pieces of bread, my position is literally can we please talk about literally anything else. I could not possibly care less. About this or any grievances anyone has about what ADs and/or conference commissioners have to say to each other.
  10. Fair lol I also think it's possible I am being far too charitable in this instance, I'm just not sure
  11. In the short term yeah there's gonna be backlash like that, again from the dumbest fans, but I guarantee you nobody's going to care in a few weeks. It's just not that important to most fans. There's a big thread about it on the Tech On3 board and most people are just like "Meh".
  12. Things are going to reach a boiling point and a bunch of settlers are going to get killed, and they're going to deserve it, unlike the Oct. 7 victims.
  13. TLDR it got Streisand'd by the Big 12 office in the offseason so the fans said fuck you and the tortilla throwing has been amplified this season, and then the Kansas coach made a big deal about it in the week leading up to our game, then he lied about someone throwing a knife from the stands at one of this assistants and then the Big 12 fined him for lying about it and also fined us for throwing tortillas. Big 12 then amped up the fine so Tech officials said enough is enough and banned tortilla throwing. The dumbest fans are making a big deal about it on Twitter and everyone else is just shrugging their shoulders. It'll be forgotten about soon enough.
  14. I think the bottom line here is if this dude was a secret Nazi, there'd be way more out there to find than this. There always is. There's ALWAYS smoke. We should be cheering for people who were indoctrinated and subsequently realized what was what like him instead of tossing them aside for a tattoo that probably meant nothing to him but "a scary looking skull" or whatever in his early 20s. And yeah, there's always a chance that he becomes Fetterman 2.0 but looking at all the shit he's written over the last 15 years it certainly doesn't seem like he's anything like that piece of shit.
  15. Nah it's just fans being dumb on Twitter most people don't really give a shit It'll be forgotten in a couple weeks
  16. I sweatergod if you're just saying "we need more cops" I'm going to shit on your lawn.
  17. That's exactly what it means, more or less. I think imma runs all his own bare metal unless I remember that wrong
  18. Who names they kid arterio anyway
  19. Yeah we have our wonderful rural Central Texas infrastructure to thank for that. There are two fiber providers here which are our primary and primary backup. Tertiary backup is a fixed wireless connection and Starlink is the nuclear option. Kill me. e: I could add a couple of 5G solutions as additional nuclear options but those aren't really supposed to be used for business infrastructure.
  20. Yeah. We did failover testing like 2 months ago but we haven't done it since we started migrating hardware. Oops. Fuck me for assuming my MSP knew what the fuck they were doing.
  21. Oof. Changing cores is not fun, I don't envy you that process.
  22. I have a primary (AT&T) and two backups. The failovers didn't fucking work because were are in the middle of a migration and my MSP apparently had some routes configured incorrectly. I was absolutely fuming yesterday. 3~ hour downtime for a bank is a fucking disaster. Luckily our drive-through location down the street was still operational so I was able to send people down there to do their transactions.
  23. We (small bank) have bare metal on prem and bare metal in a datacenter in Austin and we still got fucked and were down for hours yesterday because my MSP had our fucking failover routed incorrectly so when this outage took out our primary ISP they couldn't reach our on prem hardware to fix it until our primary ISP came back up. Sometimes I just miss the days where I could unplug shit and plug it in somewhere else and shit would just work.
  24. I mean, honestly, when you consider we have like 15 years of posting we can go through (and people have, with a fine tooth comb) with this guy without a hint of right wing or anything even resembling Nazi sentiment, and the fact that he's openly talked about how he was indoctrinated by the military and his time as a Blackwater operator, I find his explanation that he got the tattoo in Croatia as an active duty Marine and had no clue what it was to be perfectly plausible. Especially considering I, as a terminally online leftist, had no clue what the SS Totenkopf even looked like until this morning.
