'Strategy' and 'tactics' are different!!! Goddammit they are different!!!!!!
What jargon does media get wrong in a way that's jarring for you?
"Stat" doesn't just means fast, it means "there is a life-threatening circumstance and I need this to solve it." Nothing in a morgue is 'stat,' just 'asap.'
On a ship, "aye" means "yes." "Aye-aye" means "heard, and I will comply."

Since you can pick the US service colleges in NCAA football, they should transfer your stats over to BF6 if you pick one. Come on EA, have the next level save transferring.

How dare Tim Houston ruin my child's favourite summer activity: burning down the province of Nova Scotia
By: Peggy-Anne MacInnis The Nova Scotia government’s ban on any human activity in the woods is outrageous and likely unconstitutional. It infringes on our god given right to enjoy the beauty of Canada’s majestic scenery. And worst of all, it has totally ruined my little Timmy’s favourite pastime: setting small fires in the woods and […]

we need to make males lonelier because clearly they still have more community than they deserve if they use it to coordinate for this
Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.

Give it to me, I can do it, I swear.
i do mean it, I think that a band of brothers style live action gundam TV show would absolutely own so many bones, it would fuckin' rule, but you'd need to really have the exact right confluence of Giant Weeb and History Nerd to get it 100% right

There is a very serious problem amongst a significant chunk of the left of center (both liberals and leftists) where they treat a lot of the right-coded topics like military theory/history and weapons capabilities basically the same way right wingers treat sex ed
this is an elite thing, but i also just see it among my lib friends--the feeling that even knowing stuff about how modern militaries operate is a bit distasteful, impure, sus--"why are you so interested in all that military stuff? isn't that a conservative thing?"
Reality: You might not be interested in defense but defense is very interested in you

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

Man, it...infuriates me how fucking easy it is for transphobes to ruin the entire planet, because we cis people, as a collective, have not beaten them to death with baseball bats
For more than a week, conservative media and politicians have worked themselves into a frenzy over a spectacle manufactured by a fencer who refused to compete against a 19-year-old trans woman. Here is the target of that hate campaign, finally, in her own words.
'My Entire Life Is Political': Trans Fencer Attacked by Conservative Outrage Machine Speaks Out
Red Sullivan, a fencer targeted by the anti-trans outrage machine after an opponent refused to duel her, says it was all a media stunt from the start.

"Citizen-soldier virtue" is letting your industrial base make an enormous amount of equipment so your fellow citizen soldiers can suppress them with fires while you maneuver in armor around their defenses

Always cracks me up when Wehraboos say, “the Allies only won with overwhelming firepower and material superiority” (ie. they didn’t fight honorably) to which I respond, “yes and?”
