  • Edit - aww I think I irritated the tankies

    Nah, I think you’re missing the parts where this is how things go downhill.

    For example:

    very different from being thrown into a jail or executed.

    ICE. Right now.

    They have every right to say that about the US

    People are being rejected at the border for less (and specifically about Israel for now)

    where the government will happily throw you and your family behind bars for saying something even approaching a bad opinion of government action.

    The WH pardoned insurrectionists, is considering pardoning kidnappers, and threatening prosecution whenever someone disagrees with anything they say.

    … So its not just tankies who will take issue with what you’ve said, but also those who think people should be treated like people, genocide is terrible, and individual rights and freedoms exist for everyone, and not just the wealthy.




  • I dont think I’d put a man with decades of corps of engineering experience in the category of being without any knowledge or understanding. He had a pretty significant hand in the Manhattan project because of his experience (including the creation of the pentagon), and specifically contributed to the Manhattan project in terms of raw materials, site selection, even making selections on isotope separation based on his prior experience and the requirements around it.

    I don’t think you’re giving him enough credit. He is precisely the kind of person who understood the implications of different resources being used, how different methods would impact progress, etc.

    He’s a great example of understanding the issues around the decisions being made, not just making a selection from a menu of options.

    Thats the knowledge being discussed. Calling it “just administrative” is ignoring huge amounts of what Groves had in-depth knowledge of.

    Salt nic is not exclusive to Juul, and only weed vapes use an oil. Vape juice is propylene glycol and vegetable glycerol with flavoring and nicotine.

    (Source here is me, went to vapes to successfully quit smoking back when there was more threading than a 510, when mods were a milled tube and a button or flashlight guts, with an rca connector on top so you could switch between different thread types. It sucks what its become, it was really helpful for me to quit nicotine completely by having a vape.)
