Again: in what way was it responding to anything I said? There’s a difference between talking WITH people and talking AT people.

I’m just saying, nothing there was a response to anything I said, aside from me saying I liked it and them saying they didn’t like it. I see no reason for that comment to be a response to my comment specifically. Singling out me, someone expressing positivity for the movie, to tell me “actually IMO it was bad” is what’s hostile. I’m not interested in a non-conversation argument where I say something and somebody else basically says “nuh-uh”. What’s my response supposed to be? “Yuh-huh”? I’m not here to convince people to like something they don’t like, and I don’t see why anyone would want me to do that. If you don’t like the movie you can say so without needing to make me a part of it. Like seriously, what was I supposed to say in response to that? And if I wasn’t supposed to respond, then in what way was it necessary to make that comment a response to my comment?

Are Marvel relying on people going to see it multiple times? Because those days are over.

Doubling the already over the top european military budget isn’t going to fix any of the things in your first list.

Can I ask you to expand on that thought?

Judging by the video, the Russians seem to have placed barriers around the supports as buffers against this exact sort of thing. The explosion’s centre seems to be at one of these barriers rather than at the support itself. It’ll take another drone to go through that hole and hit the support, I think. Of course, I’m no expert - I’m just trying to interpret what I’m seeing.

I think most of us have experience of the concept of something being said ironically, as a joke, at first but then being increasingly serious. It’s like magic really does exist and if you say words often enough they start affecting reality, like a spell. Freedom of speech is a right but it’s also a profound responsibility.

Can I ask your security assessment of:

• The Transatlantic cables?

• The recent network outages in Spain?

• Transnistria?

• Gagauzia?

• The EU-Belarus border?

• The North African migrant crisis?

• The ongoing cyberattacks that have been hitting Europe for years?

• The price of wheat?

Then I would ask your assessment of how much the EU should plan on relying on the USA for its security over the long term.

• Threats to annex Greenland?

• Threats to annex Canada?

• Threats to seize control of the Panama Canal?

• Kill switches in the F-35?

• Sentiments expressed during the Signalgate Incident about the US doing all the work in securing the Red Sea?

• Attempts to influence European elections?

• Growing American control of the Western Internet?

Not to mention if they were able to pull off a mission like this, allegedly using cell towers to fly their drones, what’s stopping them from doing similar limited missions to tank factories, recruit depots, and other places that are further away from the front? Literally all of these targets now become viable because they will be much less heavily guarded than the nuclear triad bombers.

I assume the cell tower thing was exploiting an oversight or other vulnerability that can only be exploited once before Russia plugs the hole. Maybe they can do it again but it would be relying on enemy incompetence, which is in plentiful supply these days but still not a good idea to rely upon.

Tell me more!

Well that comes under point #3 but yeah

What’s wrong is that some people have decided that they’re at war with the rest of us.

This is most likely a combination of:

• Trump’s tariffs driving international users to seek alternatives to American OSes

• Windows 10 support coming to an end soon despite most people not wanting to upgrade or not having a desktop capable of upgrading to 11

• Steam supporting Linux increasingly well

The money saved will pay for one dev, or two if you cheap out

Also She-Hulk took Thing’s place in the F4 for a while (EDIT: in the comics) and her name is Jennifer Walters.

Yep in my opinion it was the best movie of Phase 4, due in no small part to Namor being completely awesome as well as a fascinating character. Shuri’s encounter with Killmonger on the Ancestral Plane was also very well done. Pretty much every aspect was good, except, as with the first one, some of the visual effects. The Midnite Angels looked cartoonish and the Ironheart suit lacked weight. Not all the visual effects were bad, though, and everything involving the Talokanil looked good. Especially that opening sequence. Gott DAYUM, that opening sequence was excellent.

Landfill #2 moment

Come again?

And oxygen kills everyone who dies of old age.

There’s a war everywhere in the world and will be untill we die probably

This is defeatist thinking. Mankind had, in all its thousands of years, never gone to the Moon, but then came 1969 and we did it. Everything’s impossible until you actually do it. The past is useful data to extrapolate from, yes, but that doesn’t mean that everything that went before is an immutable fact of existence for all time.

We don’t lack the ability to end war, we only lack a plan.

I don’t want Hamas to conquer Israel but I would like the Palestinian people to stop getting genocided and/or ethnically cleansed. In other words, I would like for Israel and Palestine to reach a peace deal that allows BOTH of them to live in peace, along borders as close to the 1949 Green Line borders as possible (obviously a lot has changed since 1949 and some changes are unlikely to be ever willingly undone, but it should be possible to get close - certainly closer than they are now).

I also think that this is almost certainly going to be impossible as long as Netanyahu and Hamas are in charge. Palestinians need to get rid of Hamas and Israelis need to get rid of Netanyahu.
