The idea of this being some sort of trap/tripwire for Hamas is bizarre. It’s pretty damn easy to not fire on US warships, and doing so might be the biggest strategic blunder you could make
Regardless it’s also a hotbed of conflict that could easily start spiraling into the rest of the region. A carrier group just offshore can keep an eye on the situation and make sure Iran doesn’t get any crazy ideas
It’s a deterrent for Iran or other countries that might think they can hop in while Israel is weak
It might disrupt US focus a little, but Israel’s military really doesn’t need help on this. Israel is heavily militarized with a very advanced domestic defense industry. And as much as Russia has flopped, they’re still a former superpower while Hamas is DIYing half their equipment
Consensual sex with her husband? Say it ain’t so
I don’t know where you’re getting there being more D than R voters in WV. The last two presidential elections went to Trump by 40 points
It kind of makes sense to put it that way. Presumably, workers being unhappy might make some sense if it was a tradeoff between productivity and work-life balance.
But no, it’s bad for both social effects and economic effects
Speak for yourself
Can’t spill soup on your shirt if you aren’t wearing one
I’d laugh my ass off if Fetterman shows up next time in a jacket that barely reaches his elbows
Bonus points if some other Senator walks in looking like a Dick Tracy villain
It’s a fair point to say race/gender aren’t the most important type of representation. There’s a whole lot of white men in Congress, and as a white man I don’t feel particularly “represented” by Tuberville or Gaetz
Most rocky planets are pretty desert like, they were just planning ahead. I guess that raises the question of if Space Force, or the Army, or Marines (dare I say Space Marines?) would handle land warfare on other planets
If you’ve ever done cocaine it absolutely wrecks your cardio/endurance in the long term
A meme I just saw mentioned Tiananmen Square on lemmy.ml, the comments were an absolute dumpster fire
Not to be confused with Madea, although equally tragic
Can we get a list of who voted against it? There’s usually a couple, with some contrived nonsensical explanation
And a Freightliner Cascadia is significantly heavier than the EV Hummer if we’re comparing consumer SUVs to utility vehicles
Maybe things have changed but for a while Elons companies paid very well for engineering/technical staff, as in solid six figures fresh out of school. Of course the only reason they paid that much was that they expected 80+ hour weeks
Oh no, these people would never call a non white “regular”
We had a good DA in my city, he ended up getting killed by some billionaire vigilante who went after the police commissioners family
