I see you still in love with me over there. But put your war boner down mon frere. I dont swing to the left or to the right scare.
You brought up a topic. I added input. That is it. I was not specifically calling you out. My point is about the broader reaction you see every time a narrative wants to be pushed. Outrage spikes depending on the conflict, the politics around it, and the narrative people want to push. The pattern exists whether people like hearing it or not. We, humans, do not actually care about every civilian in every war or every human experiencing any tragedy. It sounds nice but it is not real. Our empathy does not work like that. If it did, people would be equally focused on every conflict and every tragedy happening now and always. We aren't. That doesn't make us evil or less human, we just have limits since we are human. Our military is not blindly following the instructions of AI. AI is undoubtedly a huge part of the calculus but it is not at a point where it is king.
huh we what who? i know what you saying though and yeah i get it but fuck man we arent a borg yet btw I wasnt implying you were calling me out, on the contrary i was 'calling you out' but to engage with me about what i said instead you got all warhammer 40k philosopher king and you are right the gerontocracy running the military and the government is not blindly following the AI they paying many billions of dollars to some dudes with kinky hair and thick glasses that follow AI as retainers to advise them on what is the best thing to do at any given moment when they dont know what to do which is often because they are old rich sick fat dying giants like goliath who lack godspeed and alacrity
I was writing directly in response to you. But if this is how going one on one with you with an honest reply and opinion on what you wrote, then I won't bother in the future. And you are quite the person to accuse anyone of making speeches.
i know 100 percent i have never said anything to offend you i didnt accuse you of anything you just have no time for me or my grand speeches! just wait for BDK to reply, i keep telling you guys to learn from him notice how he replies like someone calm and cool about his business i am super careful when typing to you because i dont want to come close to one of your sensitive spots and have you get offended i dont have to every worry when i type to BDK I know he wont clutch his pearls at anything i say and he wont get offended if im not clear or misunderstood he wont jump the gun and assume im trying to put him down i have never seen him display these tendencies he wont say i was accusing him of anything or calling him anything or act like that at all he will understand what i meant by saying he went all warhammer 40k philosopher even if he has never played warhammer 40k. I have never played warhammer 40k! but just like i get the reference/joke he will too. he will know what im saying or if he wont he will get the gist or will ask questions and if he doesnt then he will challenge me where he thinks im wrong and we will both speak our opinions and neither of us will get offended we both speak our minds strongly to each other without offending each other and without any of us taking it personal thats how this game supposed to be played but if you wanna take your ball and play only with your friends i cant stop you thats why i say hes the best poster left on DSP it has nothing to do with if we agree on anything it has nothing to do with if we have similar politics it has nothing to do with if i like his personality it has nothing to do with if he laughs at my jokes or gives me likes or is friendly with me or not he never tried kissing my ass to ask me info on others here and hes never chapped my ass either for being a jerk to anyone funny how that is it been a bit since i made a speech, thanks for reminding me
A pearl clutching speech, indeed. I don't think you're even remotely aware of just how naturally offensive you can be. You could be potus one day, Rube.
Im being genuine. So if you feel offended by my nature then it assuages my heart that you understand that its not personal. At least from my side. You guys may get offended. But its not because im being nasty to you or mean spirited to you. Its because your spirit is easily offended by my nature. And if I would be potus then you guys would be the senate, dear Cicero.
I was being genuine, too, Rube. If only being genuine could be recognized in others, eh? I guess there's quite a few other spirits who are offended by your nature then from my recollection. I'm just one of the herd. Nothing special...another wildebeast. Really though, your question " was I making a speech to the American public " was snarky and demeaning, imo...and of course, I took unjustifiable insult from that. I am at fault though, admittedly, for responding to you at all. I'll give you that.
why be like this? you made a comment about the american public and naivete and just like i asked BDK what part of your post is addressed to my and what i said? i coulda assumed you were calling me naive and all the other things you said but why be a trigger point? you brought up the american public being naive i asked you if you were talking to the american public or to me that was it it wasnt being snarky or demeaning you quoted me but then went on to say some things were you being demeaning and snarky when you said that comment about being naive? should i have taken it that way? of course not but could it be that while lashing out at me your claws you accidentally scratched your own nose in your haste? because i got no claws out for you even as Irish likes your posts he knows i have all the respect for you and him and am not going to be snarky and demeaning to you but rhetorical questions are not fighting words unless you just looking for a pushover to fight these are questions with answers you know you cant get an easier win that that unless you turn on friendly fire and fire away at the bogeys if thats the case then play it again, sam
https://x.com/FoxNews/status/2032517144055878045 NEW: Pentagon sending USS Tripoli, a Marine Amphibious Ready Group, and the 31st MEU to the Middle East with about 2,500 U.S. Marines, a defense official confirms to FOX News. The ship is based in Japan and could arrive in 1–2 weeks.
The Marines will not be there to escort commercial ships or for posturing They will be there to execute highly-aggressive offensive actions
People dont want to hear that. Maybe its 5d chess! Draft incoming! Its ok, maybe their kids will learn how to play regular chess while in Iran. Country needs to purge a lot of undesirables. Time to for people to send their kids away.
Our jets keep falling out of the air. Its not from enemy fire says the pentagon. But they cant say why as its under investigation. The only other reason would be faulty planes or human error. That is a lot of human error and faulty boeings. Which IMO would be more shameful than giving the enemy any credit. Then again giving the enemy credit may give them hope. While our 40 million dollar planes fall out of the sky. And hope is priceless.
Grok There is an ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict with airstrikes, naval actions, and missile exchanges, but no confirmed ground invasion of Iran itself. Discussions about potential "boots on the ground" exist (e.g., concerns from some U.S. senators), but this specific deployment is to the broader Middle East theater, not directly into Iran.Social media has amplified claims of an imminent invasion, but those appear overstated based on the sourced reports. The situation is fluid amid the war, so developments could change quickly.
