I am still trying to figure out how I am currently working more than I ever have with less free time than ever, and yet also manage to somehow have less disposable income than ever as well…

And eating at casual dining restaurants.

80% of self identified Christians in America haven’t read the bible cover to cover.

They base their entire identity on a fucking book they haven’t even read. They just go listen to some asshole tell them what to think, and say “yup, that’s what I’ll base my idea of morality on!”

I am by no means an expert, but what I have gathered is that it, like almost everything in combat, is incredibly complex.

With the correct support and combined arms usage tanks are an absolute devastating force on the battlefield still. Used correctly they can completely change a battle.

But they aren’t war winners by themselves, and have never been. Unsupported a single tank is exactly a big expensive target, just like a modern fighter and or a single soldier.

The idea that tanks can be wonder weapons and that they alone can turn the tide of a war has existed since WW2, but they have always had weaknesses that need to be covered by supporting elements in order to be used effectively.

How the Abrams will do in Ukraine is anyone’s guess. The Abrams has never seen combat without the might of the US’s military logistics backing it up.

All that being said, if you are in a firefight, would you rather have a tank backing you up, or not? I’d take the tank support.

I’d be happy to see a world where people don’t actively create problems for others due to greed, ignorance, or bigotry.

We got enough problems from natural disasters, disease, accidents, etc. If people could just not be dicks and not fuck each other over constantly that would be cool.

Depends on how before you want to go. Before trump it was a fuckin weird state, but not a bastion of hate. Florida being fuckin Florida is actually a relatively recent thing.

Yup, my wife and I both want kids.

We’re now pretty set on adoption.

Beware the ides of March.

Using it to determine if you get pregnant and then suddenly aren’t. So they can charge you for getting an abortion.

Two have basically nothing to do with each other.

We are still the richest nation in the world. 2.3 billion sounds like a lot, but its nothing to the us gov, it’s nothing to the defense budget alone, and it is actively wrecking the military capabilities of one of our top geopolitical rivals.

I’m not going to pretend to understand the intricacies of the Russia/Ukraine situation, but I know this is peanuts compared to what it could cost us, and we don’t even have boots on the ground. This is the deal of a century.

Be mad at the corrupt piece of shit republicans forcing you to go into crippling debt for healthcare and education, not the innocent Ukrainians fighting for their lives and democracy.
