"fully repairing NATO relations, doubling down on support for Ukraine, Taiwan, and broadening the strategy against Iran."

This is genuinely what the US seems like icl

There’s an entire team at NSA SIGINT crying and slamming their hands into their desks right now

Writing this in my personal capacity, but I have been flying these types of aircraft for more than 20 years, with over 8,000 hours, and have reasonable familiarity with how the charter world operates. I feel compelled to post after seeing commentary about the Lear 60 crash, from missile strikes to DEI to critiquing this poor woman’s final radio calls. That last part is what I find most troubling. She was the second-in-command (SIC), and while she was empowered to point out mistakes as part of good crew resource management, she was doing her job, communicating with ATC right to the end in a terrifying situation. She likely knew before many of those calls that she was going to die. I have heard final calls from friends, from military pilots with thousands of hours in fighter aircraft, and they are just as heartbreaking because they know the end is approaching. I understand the public interest given the footage and audio. But you do not know the aircraft’s maintenance history, whether there was a structural failure, if any failure was induced by turbulence, overspeed, or overcontrol, or everything happening in that cockpit. I am sure weather will be part of the investigation, but beyond that, it is speculation. The charter industry routinely hires commercial pilots very early in their careers to gain experience alongside an ATP-qualified captain before they move up to the airlines. She would still have the appropriate training, qualifications, and checkouts by an FAA examiner or designee. Let people investigate, learn, and share the facts. Be respectful to those who perished and the families who carry their memories. God bless them and their loved ones.

It does reject that, you are right with what you say. As we say in our message, it is temporary and we're now making people work hard to fix this and working with Valve, Amazon, and lots of other big companies who are willing to help us fix this problem that is not an easy one to solve. We're trying to deliver everything everyone wants all the time.. We're struggling, this was the right call for this moment in time and we wish the world of games was different. But you're absolutely right that this is totally against our values of what the game is and who we are as players.

I have Absolutely No words

I've spent a long time reading about the bombs and the dropping of them. Most of the modern discourse is fundamentally misguided. I've made many a post and thread about this but I'm gonna do it again. Short version: the bombs were worse than firebombing but they ended the war.

Possible return to PAC-2 FF or somewhere in between?

Gears E-Day is probably the best Gears game, hands down, in terms of gameplay and overall feel. It easily trumps 3's Horde mode with the new Horde Siege mode. That being said, you are approaching a game caught in a weird place; there is a ton of misinformation on both the right and left sides. The fault of this is entirely the writer who tried to force modern politics into the game. That being said, after beating the game, it seems that management muzzled him, so much so that he lamented about not being able to do more on Social. This is Starship Troopers The Movie, the writers intentions were bad, but the execution was good. Mags character is at worst, mildly annoying. The game primarily focuses on Dom, and Marcus in that order, Reyes was a good character, and the addition of Zee the Carmine Patriarch was solid, Tai and his squad get about as much character development as Mags. That being said, Intention is sin in of itself. People should be calling for the writer to be fired. E-Day is solid, and it stands next to Gears 2 for me in terms of story. It was very much a story that Gears needs more of, gritty dark, the Trauma here is good build up for Marcus and Doms relationship, and Doms family.. You can really see the pain beginning to build, which punctuates 2 much better than Gears 1. Though to be fair Gears 1, was kind of hap hazard before they realized they had a franchise in the making so the characters there are very plankish compared to two or E-Day. I'm just glad they didn't do what they did in 3 and change it to lighthearted, especially considering, ya know, everything that happens in three.

I've known katie a long time. She exploited in @WARDOGS. I told her as much. When I did, she called me someone that "sided with bigots" because I said the 7 day ban was justified. Shroud said "they knew exactly what they were doing, lets not play stupid here", who is coincidentally also someone Katie says she respects. In my conversation with her she told me I was no longer her friend among a myriad of personal attacks. Having attempted to talk to her about it, rather than act in a way that was anything resembling "calm", she blocked me here and everywhere else. All because I didn't think coordinating 20 people to shell a fob you allowed other people to capture ON PURPOSE so you and your viewers could farm 5 million dollars a game meant a ban was justifiable. Happy wednesday.

It’s clear that some of ya’ll haven’t played a Gears game before so just so you’re aware, some of the most important characters in the Gears universe are women Myraah, essentially the creator and queen of the Locust and is genetically a human woman despite being a hive mind for the Locust Anya Stroud, first minister of the Cog and crucicial in helping to rebuild humanity after the locust war, married to Marcus Fenix I don’t know why we’re acting as if this is some new thing, ya’ll can’t keep slapping the word woke on everything especially stuff you know nothing about

Not called as a roughing the passer penalty because the passer is not named Patrick Mahomes.

"stealth is dead" is about as useful as saying "camo is dead". you should still wear that camo, it is still one more friction layer in the target acquisition process and any measure to lower your signature into the noise floor is beneficial

“Radars are woke.” Range discrimination. Filtering. Target classification. Non cooperative target recognition. I pose to you that radars are actually based and redpilled

Gonna have to restart the production line at this point from all the mishap losses

I rise once again to state that Fincantieri is not responsible for the dog’s breakfast that was the Constellation Class process. This is all in the lap of NAVSEA and OPNAV. Full stop. As I wrote at the time, the 57mm part of the selection process, clearly done due to LCS program backwash, was an indicator that the same people, processes, etc that begat that disgrace were not purged. Uniformed and civilian leadership post selection of the FREMM design failed their Navy and their nation due to their institutional failure to understand the larger picture.
