Seems systemic… Spend trillions every year and never win a war since desert storm or ww2 before that. It’s not budget, it’s not man power either the military are doing something really poorly or there is some type of corruption somewhere taking that money…

I agree I’m just confused how us seems to spend so much on military yet lose every war. It’s like a jock spending 12 hrs a day in the gym and losing every boxing match against the local chess club.
Not to mention so much news that we “rescued” one airmam from a down helicopter. Great, now compare that to D-day or any battle in the US civil war…no contest. We are using so many resources for “war” rather right or wrong doesn’t matter, we do nothing but lose. I’d fire every officer in the military, you have an effective unlimited budget, you have millions of man hours at your disposal but consistently fail at every “war” since… Desert storm? Even that is questionable. Even before that have Vietnam… Lost… Korea… Didn’t actually lose but still didn’t win… Ww2 ok yeah we won with cooperation from most other countries.
US is a “super power” and spend more than the 9 countries in the top 10 of military spending but we always lose…wtf??
What I don’t get if it’s really such a priority from him and he is so mad…doesnt America have enough bombs to just level the region? Can’t he just make a call and say “kill everyone, make it glass” and it would be done?
That would be horrible to do. I’m not condoning it and thousands of lives would be lost. That said in the 80s America could literally destroy the earth… With advancements in technology and the money we spent couldn’t they just say “do it” and make the whole area done for atleast a few generations? How do they lose wars? If they are so dead set on this can’t they just carpet bomb the entire country?
Back after the initial the reddit migration some guy posted that he was going camping and wanted to know how he could ensure he wouldn’t poop for 3 days.

11·8 days agoI drove over the Mississippi river, at 9pm. It was dark and didn’t see anything. I’ve never experienced the Mississippi River just like this is not an experience of flying to the moon. They got close but still working on actually getting there.

From working in medical device if that’s all the documentation he is writing I’m jealous.

Just joking as I don’t know but it’s just a funny image. I’m sorry for the victims and hope people stop doing this type of stuff.
Absolutely. I got well acquainted with the regulations. The sad part is it was so slow to update anything nothing got updated.
This system needs to be operational by next week. It will be a month before its well made. This needs to be operational by next week. Ok, but then we can fix it right?
Not to mention any changes to anything got evaluated as either a notice update, a 90 day submission, or a full submission(6 months - 2 years depending on fda, bsi and severity of change). That’s in addition to the actual work. I could make a change in a afternoon and may see it in production next year.
I worked in medical electronic manufacturing. Changing a single setting for ease of use to the operator was planned as a 2 year project. Literally change a 0 to 1 in one of the files…
I preferred the no poop for 3 days thing but both are classics

Honestly? It depends. You can make it better, if you try or make it worse if you don’t. This sounds like they were not “lonely” that was just something they could blame it on.
Go do something. It doesn’t really matter what. Exercise, join a rpg group, join a maker space, move to a new city, change jobs, join a group about off roading. It doesn’t matter, learn to cook, learn to bake. Just do something.
Laying in bed or staring at a monitor/TV won’t help. Most people will get into a mental loop of how they are bad because they don’t have any real comparisons of real people. You may make mistakes but you will see other people make mistakes too.
Regarding relationships I love the quote from Jimmy Carr (yes he has dark humor and often is offensive) “don’t think what you can get, think what you can provide”.

World News@lemmy.world•WHO officials admit they are preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in IranEnglish
7·24 days agoTrue. Years ago(I think 2010 ish) I went to NYC comic con. Zombies were all the rage (pun intended) at the time. One of the panels I saw was “preparing for a zombie apocalypse” with a bunch of people from walking dead and a director at the cdc.
The cdc director basically made the point that you should be prepared. A zombie apocalypse is not likely/possible but if that makes you actually get prepared for an emergency go for it. You need access to fresh water, access to edible food, any medications for you or your family, a plan to escape, a place to meet up etc etc. You need those in a zombie apocalypse but you also need them in a hurricane, tornado, war, earthquake etc. All require the same things to survive, if pretending it’s zombies helps you get prepared great, as long as you get prepared.
Yeah, I’ll give you a more complete response after I go to the atm machine where I’ll enter my pin number. 😜
True, all I’m going to say is if you look up videos on “cbt therapy” make sure to put therapy in the search and/or have safe search on, as a result I believe Mike may enjoy the splinters
















Even if the accusations are true, it’s been out for around a decade? Why are you only now banning it?
To be clear yes, it contains sensitive material. There’s also a full screen warning at launch.
