On that, we are in complete agreement. We will do whatever it takes if it's feasible and the admin actually wants the person back.

Pretending any nuclear nation couldn't get one man (or his corpse) back from a Central American prison is a farce.

There are literally photos of delta guys in skate helmets doing this during Operation Acid Gambit.

And the United States won in Vietnam.

Clearly drawn is hard to prosecute (and one might argue shouldn't be prosecuted, since obscenity laws are just... weird). However, the stuff that is photorealistic can be treated, legally, like the real thing.

Fun fact it's already illegal. If it's indistinguishable from the real thing it's a crime.

This is the way.

Intra-alliance fighting has always been a concern because of Greece and Turkey. Article 5 is probably the only reason they haven't already gone to war. But yeah the US would fight all of European NATO that answers the call, win a pyrrhic victory, and destabilize Europe for the next 100 years.

I wonder if there was a time in which a similar sign was written in Latin.

I know they specifically mentioned temperament in the selection section of one of the sniper manuals. Not sure about special operations.

Honestly, most special operations selection processes seem to have very little to do with the actual what most Tier 1 units actually do. CAG, for example, has a 40 mile solo nav course as part of their selection.

There have been a few articles on "herding" which I didn't even know about before this election. I am no pollster, but it sounds like there's a huge incentive to protect the reputation of the polling firm ("it's a draw, so we can't be wrong") vs reporting numbers they think might make news.

Yeah, they are sort of just the worst in JSOC (although one wonders about the CIA direct action groups). But between this shit, the Nazis in the KSK, and Australian helicopter musical-chairs, it really does seem like there's something about special operations that attracts the worst a country has to offer.

In their defense, it turns out that a lot of the insanity and violent mood swings are related to brain damage from firing 10.3s indoors constantly.

But on the other hand what the fuck.

Let the fractal be without end.

Triangles for the triangle god, fractals for the fractal throne!

There's mixed evidence of whether or not mass shootings have a contagion effect, that people who are already "primed" see this shit on tv and decide that today's the day.

Or it could just be chance.

But maybe, here's an idea, we don't let people who make terroristic threats have guns. I don't care about what kind of gun, if you credibly threaten to murder a bunch of people, no gun for you.

Yeah as someone who uses both this is really not much of a feature.

Women are so good and I love it and I'm so proud professional cunning frigid demanding

Probably more accurate to say American trucks and raw materials, but yes.

In this case, yes. Visually indistinguishable from a photo is considered CSAM. We don't need any new laws about AI to get these assholes. Revenge porn laws and federal CSAM statutes will do.

A lot of work you could do on a car yourself prior to 2018 is now impossible because everything in the car has sensors that talk to the on board computer. Replacing a side mirror should not involved sensor hookups.
