The most interesting part of this war is watching how much asymmetric drone warfare has impacted rear line and logistical security. Using netted roads, jammers, shotguns, cannon-AA guns and jousting midair with other drones have all become commonplace, and I anticipate as AI drones come online there will be anti-drone drones that also fly autonomously. No security is perfect and both sides may still be working out the kinks but I anticipate suicide drones formally falling in line as a compliment to traditional artillery, trading raw power for precision accuracy.

Bigger than protecting logistics and frontline operations is the change in defending places traditionally seen as safe. The Ukrainian bomber attack against Tu-95s and Tu-22M3s was a massive wake up call to everyone, and I’m not sure on what changes are being made beyond not storing your stuff outside, but it wouldn’t be hard for an enemy country to pack a shipping crate full of autonomous drones and pop it open as the delivery truck/train goes by a factory, depot, infrastructure or whatever target you want. There are no safe places anymore, and drones have a chance to inflict massive terror on a population. I’m surprised Iran (or “Iran”) hasn’t done so to the US, getting rid of that feeling of invulnerability.

I’m sure about one thing though: every country will learn the wrong lessons from the Ukraine war and assume every war will be a drone fest because one country was in the beginning stages of upgrading their Air Force to modern standards after the USSR collapse stalled development and the other has an Air Force smaller than some private collections.

One video and it ends with a disclaimer probably lol.

Not going to check it though.

You are 100% right. I grew up knowing basically nothing about Sikhs because the 10 that seemed to exist in the West were apparently the only ones that were actually nice and not actively destroying society. Now that more have come over like all immigrant groups we see the absolute dregs of society that I'm sure their home nations are happy to see them go.

I was debating posting this here, but glad someone did. A huge issue is with Mormons operating as a mafia and hopefully waking people up to this fact. I know it’s not the biggest enemy of the US but Mormonism has flown under the radar for too long and has become extremely dangerous.

Mormons and Catholics are two great threats to the US.

Even in Dark Souls 1, all the lore you need is in the opening cinematic. Everything else is fair game, but you don’t exactly need to know what happened to, say the Gaping Dragon to enjoy the game and its current-day story.

I believe you about the fantasy books, their writers are probably the worst about lore instead of plot.

I can tell this person did not like Dark Souls at all ha.

Honestly I wish the story was less obtuse but it isn’t as nuts as Elden Ring when it comes to making the lore needlessly obtuse.

Long term it shouldn’t bar a total collapse or someone doing what they do but better. Short term though I can see it screwing over retail investors.

Emissions destroyed the car market. I understand and agree that we can’t have a million things dumping pollutants into the air but in the grand scheme of things personal vehicles don’t matter compared to large companies and third worlders making it their life’s work to destroy as much of the environment as possible. Plus you can only increase cylinder pressure so much before you either drive the material price through the roof or you drive the piston itself through the hood of the car when whatever plastic or cheap alloy containing it breaks.

Made me feel better when I learned about about floor plan financing, where the banks stop assaulting the consumer and start eating the dealership after 90 days.

The only thing I’ve heard about it IRL is my friends making fun of it (and they are correct).

I can’t help but feel bad for (what I think is a) him. Nobody ends up like this without absolute parental disasters. Yeah every choice is still your own at some point but a lot of people like this have better odds winning a mob-rigged game of poker than ending up as a normal, healthy member of society with how bad some of these parents are.

Zero survival instinct I don’t understand.
