  • The giant missiles were running out of…

    They’re often 10s of millions of dollars each.

    That’s what conventional warfare is based around, making and defending against them.

    So defenses can’t stop that same payload spread across 1,000 drones all launched at the same time. There’s simply too much to be shot down.

    China is the only ones focusing on “mini swarms” and they’re pretty much Iran’s only big ally and already supplying them with arms.

    Even if Iran doesn’t want to pay for it, I feel like China is gonna give it to them, just to see if it can really sink a US carrier.

    Personally I think it can, and Iran may already have it.

    That would be some shit that would permanently alter world diplomacy, our military strength is based around air craft carriers and foreign bases, and we’re closer to losing both than we’ve ever been








  • Cracked in it’s prime was fucking amazing.

    Like, it’s the type of “just stay here” website everyone keeps trying to make.

    On any random day they’d post like an article every 15 minutes. No matter when you needed to kill 15-30 there was something funny and usually informative.

    There was probably 5 years straight I didn’t poop without reading an article on Cracked.

    There’s no other quality stream of content like that since.



  • Crockett is more qualified,

    Because she has 3 whole years in the House…

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasmine_Crockett

    And Tarico only has checks notes 8 years of experience in House.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Talarico

    But it’s not just that, he’s religious and the grandson a Christian church leader! Not like Crockett who…

    Is religious and the daughter of a Christian church leader…

    Well, she only takes some money from corporate PACS, and he takes… Well, he takes none, but…

    The only thing Crockett has more experience in, is losing elections.

    The only one she won, was because crypto bros bought it for her and the incumbent heavily supported her.

    On November 20, 2021, incumbent representative Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas’s 30th congressional district announced she would not seek reelection in 2022.[24] Four days later, Crockett declared her candidacy for the seat. Johnson simultaneously announced that she was backing Crockett.[25][26]

    Crockett also received extensive financial support from Super PACs aligned with the cryptocurrency industry, with Sam Bankman-Fried’s Protect Our Future PAC giving $1 million in support of her campaign.[27]

    There’s no logical reason for everyone to have such high options of her, except you all fell for billionaire and Republican propaganda

    Can you give me a logical defense of:

    Crockett is more qualified,

    Because I legitimately never understood her “rise”.


  • Try “random start” mods.

    Instead of taking you thru the opening scenes of a big RPG like Skyrim, it just punts you to some random area so you can immediately start messing around

    A lot of games have big scripted events the first couple hours, being able to skip those helps it from feeling repetitive, because that’s the stuff you’ve done ever playthrough you’ve ever started.


  • You’re literally falling for Republican propaganda…

    The National Republican Senatorial Committee put out a poll in July with Crockett’s name included, which showed her as the leading Democrat in a hypothetical matchup.

    “When we saw the results, we were like, ‘OK, we got to disseminate this far and wide,’” a source familiar with the process told NOTUS.

    The fact that Crockett was included in the poll was no accident.

    In June news broke that Texas Democrats Colin Allred, James Talarico, former Rep. Beto O’Rourke and Rep. Joaquin Castro met to discuss the 2026 election. Operatives at the NRSC realized that Crockett — whose political stock had been rising — wasn’t included in that meeting and also hadn’t been included in any credible poll. So they decided to change that.

    That propaganda is literally the only reason she ran:

    Crockett herself even admitted she was encouraged to jump into the race by all the positive polling she was seeing ahead of her announcement.

    "The more I saw the poll results, I couldn’t ignore the trends that were clear,” Crockett said during her announcement speech.

    Crockett did not return a request for comment.

    We can’t afford to just ignore that people are being manipulated…


  • It’s not about race…

    Talarico is more progressive and can convince people to agree with him.

    Crockett is more conservative and just yells at people, that’s why the NRSC manipulated her into running, why after that came out she refused to acknowledge it, and why she’s now claiming the reason she lost is racism and she’s suing.

    Even if we were skipping a general and either one was guaranteed to be a Texas Senator, Talarico.was the best choice.

    It wasn’t just “who’s most electable” and frankly it’s concerning that so many people didn’t look deeper than skin color but are so opinionated on this.

    You’re the reason the NRSC tried this manipulation, because it worked on you.

    We can’t afford for it to happen again, look into candidates and what they actually have as a platform. Not just who’s the most outrageous on social media.



  • Cali has 1 primary, and the top two candidates make it to the general…

    Some early polling of the race has put both Bianco and Hilton among the candidates splitting the most support in a state that hasn’t elected a Republican governor in 20 years.

    “The likelihood of two Republicans effectively ‘locking out’ California Democrats from the contest for Governor in the General Election is relatively low,” Hicks wrote. “However, while it is implausible, it is not impossible and I know we are collectively committed to taking the steps required to avoid that possibility.”

    Right now the top two candidates have an R by their name, which would depress general turnout when it matters and cost House seats we desperately need. Not to mention it would guarantee a Republican governor.

    But you’d have to read more than a headline to actually see that part…



  • No shit, where do you think he got the idea?

    Bibi was facing a long prison sentence pending a corruption trial 5 elections ago, he’s cancelled everyone due to “wars” that he’s started.

    The only time I’ve seen trump smile with Zelinaki, is when he said they had to cancel an election due to war.

    If this blows over somehow before midterms, trump will start a new war. Literally the only reason this happened so far ahead of midterms, is they had to meet Israel’s religious calendar for the holy war.

    And I wish to fuck that was a joke.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purim

    Purim (Hebrew: פּוּרִים Pūrīmⓘ, lit. ‘lots’[1][a]) is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of the Jewish people by Queen Esther from annihilation at the hands of an official of the Achaemenid Empire named Haman, as it is recounted in the Book of Esther.

    The Achaemenud empire is modern day Iran, and Purim was Monday.

    So they scheduled an attack on Iran, to align with Purim feasts:

    Purim is celebrated annually on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Adar (and it is celebrated in Adar II in Hebrew leap years, which occur 7 times in every 19 years), the day following the victory of the Jews over their enemies, the 13th of Adar, a date now observed in most years with the fast of Esther.

    Coupled with the American military telling our troops it’s a literal Holy War…

    And it’s hard to try and act like we didn’t just try and start WW3 as a fucking Crusade to bring about Armageddon.

    Like, these people legitimately believe they’re bringing about literal Armageddon and End of Days, and they’re doing that so they don’t have to go to trial…
