Are you seriously equating building a tank to building two nuclear powered submarines?

One is an attack sub with an estimated cost of 500M USD

The other is a nuclear missile sub with an estimated cost of 700M USD

While a t90SM is 4,.5M USD

And the people who designed this promotion are also not as smart as they think they are.

If all they need is an email, there is nothing illegal about using multiple email addresses.

Now, the OP could have missed something in the T&Cs but based on what they have said, they are not doing anything illegal.

Close encounters is a much better film.

The greatest waste of resources is improving a system the should not exist

Nukes are a phantom menace. Great to have a few to stop getting invaded but completely useless as offensive force projection.

If all the money and talent spent on this thing had been spent of conventional forces Ukraine would be in a lot more trouble than it is now.

Youtube ads, what musk did today, something about trumo, youtube add blockers, what musk said today, abortion in the us, youtube code on FF, what muck corp did today...

The fediverse news cycle.

I spent a decade working in insolvency.

When we were going into a business that had failed the question was "Are the idiots, criminals or both?"

One highlight:

A boat sales / marine business goes bust. When we arrive with the paper work and seize the place there are about a dozen new boats on the lot worth several million. We change the locks on the gates.

Arrive the next day, the gates have been busted open and several million in boats are now missing. We look up the addresses of the owners (one of them lives on acreage) and drive to their property...from the road we can see the boats stashed there. Really smart guys.

So we call the police. Someone inside notices use there and decides to flee with one of the boats, it is huge but they think they can get away.

We then have the slowest car chase in history as we calmly follow this guy towing a boat on a trailer down the road while talking to the cops to meet us.

Pretty much every American war film is a pro-war movie.

Not saying I don't agree but if you report spam and they do nothing and it is not illegal shit there is not much else you can do.

Meh. The mods here (fediverse) in general seem pretty hands off.

That is why the spam continues.

But it is their community, so their rules.

Charter University of New Technology and Science.

It isn't.

It is salty processed canned pork and ham.

For which party?

None of them seems to have any solution to the issues.

The problem is you don't know what is in ink and what is in pencil till years after the fact.

A forum I visited way back when, Kuro5hin, no longer exists but there is some snapshots on archive.org but I doubt that anything I wrote there is accessible (or traceable back to me either here of in real life.)

A blog I wrote for a couple of years back around '07 is definitely still online. But again, there is no way to connect it to current me.

TLDR: Be really sure before you put your real life name or identifying info to anything online.

I'm struggling to understand what you are asking.

Can you expand/clarify?

I am not from the US but similar stories and stats exist for my own country.

If you think any country is handling this better, please tell us which one it is.

(and, of course, back it up with solid data...)

That is a big part of it.

When the first question you are asked for decades when meeting someone is "What do you do?" it gets ingrained that your only value is what you do.

Add in the fact that men hitting that age now have basically never received any positive reaction for expressing any emotions or vulnerability and usually outright been mocked for doing so and it is no wonder they are are hard group to reach...

It's up to code, the Ron Swanson code.

If you can't avoid the lava, stay out of the room.

First you would have to assume or prove that chestnuts have sentience. (the ability to experience feelings and sensations)

Next you would have to assume or prove that chestnuts have potential. (The inherent ability or capacity for growth, development, or future success. )

Then you would have to assume or prove that chestnuts have agency. (the capacity of individuals to have the power and resources to fulfill their potential.)

Then you would have to find a group of chestnuts that have all of the above but doing nothing to reach their potential. While also ensuring that there are no impediments in their environment or upbringing that are constraining them or holding them back.

Then you could, credibly, accuse that particular group of chestnuts of being lazy.

That is outright slander! (it was Flavor Aid)
