I mean, yes, a stated part of P2025 is to use stuff like Signal, en masse, to prevent being able to have records of convos subpoenaed… but they also did make a rookie mistake while following that plan.

Hey now, they also somewhat resemble a typical diagram of a vagina, utuerus, fallopian tubes and ovaries.

Well shit, TIL.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity:

Are there, or have there ever been, either gun fired or rocket/missile fired artillery systems that fire airbursting rounds that litter the area with AP mines, or cluster bomblets?

I know this is and has been done with aircraft, but I can’t say I’ve heard of a cannon or rocket/missile artillery system that does that.

Well shit, I had never heard of this thing.

I thought you were emulating a stereotypical lispy nerd that that would push up his glasses and resettle the trilby on his head after finishing the sentence, lol.

… its called the Hercules.

EDIT:

No joke, my grandpa was an old timer at Boeing, middle management after WW2.

He told me a story once that Howard Hughes was once settling some kind of negotiation or contract with Boeing… but refused to mail over some paperwork, and refused Boeing mailing him over their own paperwork to him

So, my grandpa was directed to go, with a briefcase with Boeing’s paperwork, to a specific bathroom stall at Boeing Field, at specific time and date, whereupon him and Howard Hughes unironically did the old spy movie trope of sliding briefcases between stalls, then leaving at seperate times, never making eye contact or saying a word.

I have no way of 100% verifying whether or not this actually happened, if my grandpa was just pulling my leg as a kid… but my grandpa did really work for Boeing for most of his life, I’ve not known him to ever really lie about anything, and this does seem exactly like something Howard Hughes would do.

EDIT 2:

If this did actually happen, I’d imagine Hughes just literally flew himself in his own aircraft from California to Seattle with the briefcase, did the swap, and then just flew himself back.

Hughes: Fuck the Post Office, I’m faster and more reliable.

Serious posting in shitposting communities is my hyperfixation BWaHahAhahha!

I am the kind of male military history nerd that loves to just wander around museums like this for fun, have been since I was a kid.

You’re not entirely wrong.

Future school shooter?

Nah, not really. Too anti social, too shut-in. Not likely to go to a museum.

You’re more likely to find them in a Nazi RP server of some kind, or RPing as cops online, doing the whole power fantasy + indoctrination from their room, never actually interacting with people in the outside world.

Nazi?

… Yeah, young male military history nerds in the US do very much tend toward being quite right wing.

Not all of them, of course, but at least for me, almost all of my friends with similar nerdy interest in military history since a young age… they’re all MAGAtards now, and no longer my friends.

This is exactly, exactly the same thing as the guy at the bar or restaurant who thinks all the waitresses and servers are actually hitting on him, for real bro.

Most home wreckers are self aggrandizing hypocritical narcissists, so… yeah.

The even shorter, more direct version is:

‘Local community’ actually means ‘Official representatives of the local community.’

EDIT: And ‘great relationship’ means ‘we do business with whatever entity regularly, and that business we do is more advantageous to us than it is to them’.

… Also… I’m in America so… maybe this is somehow different in various Euro countries, but I seriously doubt it…

There’s no way Amazon invests in local roads.

I’m from Seattle.

Our roads are absolute ass, I’m talking worse than the average road in a small town in South Dakota or Montana.

They certainly don’t directly fund any roadwork around Seattle, despite having many logistics hubs in and near the city.

They’re more likely to strong arm a city, even literally sue them, into upgrading their roads than they are to… like directly contribute some share of their revenue or profit directly into the city’s road maintenance or construction budget.

0 chance Amazon directly funds building of any roads beyond the roads on their property.

Provide computers to schools? Sure, I believe that.

But I am highly doubtful that Amazon directly contributes to building local roads.

Only way I can even see that kind of making sense in a roundabout way is if the city has some kind of specific tax on heavier vehicles or vehicles used in delivery/logistics…

In which case … this would apply to any delivery/logistics vehicle of any kind that either transits through or is based out of the city.

By that logic anyone that pays a sales tax or property tax in the city pays for new roads, likely significantly more, as a group.

“Amazon wont pay a living wage due to its great relationship with the local community”.

So, taken by a normal person, not aquainted with corpo speak… that is some astounding anti-logic.

But if you know a bit of corpo, what that actually means is something like:

We have the local city government by the balls, greatly overexagerated the economic benefit our warehouse would bring to the city, got them to subsidize our construction costs, relax zoning laws or fees, change tax laws or give us a special carve out so that we pay less than if anyone else tried to build a warehouse here…

… and now if the city gov goes for policies/laws we don’t like, we’ll just shut down this location, I’ll go work the same job somewhere else, everyone else is unemployed, and then we’ll tell the media that’s because of the city government, and they’ll likely lose their elected positions.

Wonder if we will get 100% confirmation on the Apollo Affair as well.

Basically, in 1965 a bunch of fissile nuclear material went missing from a warehouse outaide of Pittsburgh, run by a company run by a Zionist.

FBI, CIA started investigations, but those investigations were mysteriously ended abruptly when it was looking quite likely that the highly enriched uranium had been covertly shipped to Israel.
