@Justicar The follow-up panel to this would be a resounding "No" from the crowd in former times if they were polite. If not, exile is an effective method.

@Justicar It's beautiful.

@dassauerkraut @deprecated_ii @MeBigbrain Oh, it hurts... but not as much as she will when she gets a verbal dressing down for this atrocity.

@Tfmonkey I hope they keep the backend model decoupled from the chat functionality for more options so when the DeepSeek-based models become more widespread they can efficiently leverage the technology.

@deprecated_ii Why would I want that?

@deprecated_ii You put that plug back in right now, young lady!

@deprecated_ii What is the name of this style of painting, regardless of the subject matter? Does anyone know?

@Fash-E @lonestarr As a PSA for anyone who has a female and are considering having her wear overalls like the lower left image: NEVER let her wear them without underwear. It will hurt her after any amount of time or activity because denim is not meant for her nipples. If you want to get a picture like this, do it for a photo shoot and then get her back in a bra. Take care of your females.

I continued to listen to the Wednesday show after making this comment, and TFM bought up this point, which is good.

I do not like it when people are disingenuous, and in my opinion, Halsey is too well-read to be ignorant of many of these details surrounding Syria and Iran.

Evidence for his arguments, like the BBC article about the UN inspector saying it was "worrying" about Iran developing nuclear weapons, is tenuous at best, and points such as the aforementioned surrender are ignored.

@dander @Zeb @Tfmonkey You're arguing with someone who doesn't understand the difference between his own value judgments and normative morality as such.

@Tfmonkey I agree that Iranian and Houthi forces have not been as effective as intended, but "not much" is not equivalent to "non-functional". Equating the two as some people do is a semantic method to dismiss an argument out of hand.

You are correct that the argument will continue to be used even though it is slippery until something drastic happens.

Something that Halsey continues to say on the Wednesday show which irritates me is that Assad was defeated and Russia didn't do anything even though they were allies. If he has not directly stated it, he has implied it, and he uses this as justification for his thought that Russia doesn't care about Iran.

Assad stepped down and the Syrian military did the same because his generals were for all intents and purposes bought off. Russia can't defend someone who surrenders of their own accord.

@Justicar If you have never read Levinson's "The Seasons of a Man's Life" it is worth a read to discuss this topic more widely.

Your point is close, in my opinion, to the truth in that he realizes that he has used the majority of his strength, and he understands that anything he wishes to experience now, he must do so before he is incapable of doing so. The redpill may or may not be involved.

@Justicar @UncleIroh I agree with your points. I simply do not want to hear people saying how Russia is clamoring to rejoin the West. It grows tiresome to listen to people grasp at straws to support their cherished desires.

I hope that everyone doesn't take the Trump-Putin call as Russia cucking because from the summary I read, it sounds like they are merely opening the door to talks. No formal agreements have been made yet. Russia will stilll attack Ukranians, but they have agreed to pause strikes on energy infrastructure.

Nothing is confirmed yet; so, I don't want to hear any crowing about how Russia is champing at the bit to rejoin the West.

@Tfmonkey Correct. I wasn't claiming that it hit. By "work" I mean their missile systems are functional and they can strike Israel not just fall from sky and squash a bystander because they're defective.

@sardonicsmile I see a thot. A miserable female who could have had a loving family but was allowed to run free. If I indulged in such things, I would pity her.

@lonestarr "I am both asian and women"

At least she makes a joke of it. I laughed.
