"biological male" is if anything bad description of reality. A trans woman who has been on hormone therapy for a couple of years is biologically closer to cisgender women than cisgender men. And even more so if they've had surgeries. But usually people who use that term don't care and lump everyone who was assigned male at birth into that category.

I could attribute this term to ignorance because it sounds reasonable, but it's far too often used to exclude trans women from spaces that other women belong

These planes aren't used often. They're strategic bombers and the most expensive of America's bombers too. Both in per flight hour cost and absolute cost

The B2 spirit is primarily made for the nuclear deterrence and warfare role. They are designed to penetrate air defense systems by being stealthy, A concept that was proved by the f-117 Nighthawk.

But since they have a heavy payload they're also used to drop conventional bombs occasionally. When you have to service a large amount of targets or use really big bombs, A strategic bomber is the go-to solution. They used B2 in this case for what my guess is these reasons

• stealthy means they can get past radar systems and they can shrink any warning time
• The B2 is the only plane rated to carry the gbu-57 bunker busting bomb. The facilities they were trying to destroy were fortified, so most other bombs wouldn't work.

The pictures literally date back to then. That's so much denial.

I can only actually name one politician that was smited

There's this one Turkish politician that got smited right after he said that Allah will judge Israel

These people will be on Starlight's side during the Cutie Map. Or they'd go say that Starlight wasn't actually practicing real communism.

Idk. I feel mixed about the content warnings. They could be useful for some people, though it's a little bit overboard. There are certainly worse episodes of My Little pony that's for sure. I think of the Buffalo episode in season 1 (actual settler colonialism and then the lesson is just to share the land)

All the depictions of these things are pretty mild in general. Although that doesn't stop the My Little pony Community from making these incredibly detailed stories and worlds.

They do. Otherwise it would sound like Chat JPT. So they say Chat J'ai Pété

Germans voted the NSDAP into power. You're kinda splitting hairs here

When you have to toast the marshmallow again

Y'all aren't really proving her wrong. I'm all for mocking people who think that countries that claim to be Marxist are all paradise, but this just ain't it

The thing is there's quite a lot I can agree with on with the politics of empires. however the really seek to simply replace one empire with another and have another global power dominate since it is their the global power instead of the liberal one. It's incredibly annoying to me because they are more imperialist than the average liberal in the know. (Global communist hegemony by force)

I have a pleasure of talking with one who isn't quite as crazy as those on .ml, but we have talked about the institutions and politics of empires and how economic systems work. I've certainly become more of a socialist and I've gotten him to see a lot of the flaws in communist countries and the only one I haven't really dispelled is Cuba. (I know relatively little about Cuba, and I think the US is a bit harsh towards them. Electoral politics makes it harder to open up to Cuba though)

We both hate Trump with a passion though. Partly because we are both queer, and also that we both hate fascists.

I'm just imagining how much logistic support they're going to need and how many people they'll have to move for this

That doesn't really have much to do with domestic stuff. I mean, every military does fucked up stuff, but at the end of the day, they're made of people and have their families. Even myself.

As a service member, I educated myself on tactics, philosophy, diplomacy, economics, culture, mental health, geography, and many other topics to understand how and why military force is used. I know it's not for democracy à la Helldivers. It's used to keep the trade going and to conduct politics through harder power.

You might be an isolationist and that's fine. But don't insult the intelligence of myself who dealt with all sorts of philosophical dilemma and educated herself and others around her
