@YoMomz @sardonicsmile I agree completely and have nothing additional to add.

@Autumn Define "dogs" please.

@deprecated_ii This made me laugh. Thank you.

@Autumn He doesn't have 3+ kids to replace their declining population. The stabby-types do.

@deprecated_ii Those are rookie scribbles. Go big (and hard) or go home, and really paint a visual image of "civilizing" dominance. If she's going to read what he wrote, let it be as racy and ballsy as possible so she can't help but visualize it. Then she's pictured all those things in her mind.

@VD15 I laughed harder than I thought I would. Thank you.

@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.
