Javelins are pretty good kit.

I mean there’s a saint named after them.

And yeah it would seem crazy to sacrifice it if it wasn’t damaged in fairness.

Magnificent.

Are you using a VPN maybe?

Must be great to have such a consistent shipper of arms that lets you use them however you want.

This one sparks joy.

Oooh, Netherlands and Denmark both over 90% now. We’re movin’!

Been waiting for this one. Perun is superb.

…900 days ago. *tears*

Get off the hamas propaganda man.

I’m not sure how pointing out that most countries (representing the vast majority of the Earth’s population) recognise the state of Palestine is “Hamas propaganda” but here we find ourselves.

One of us needs some introspection and it’s not me - it’s entirely possible to believe strongly that Israel has the right to defend itself, hope that Israel gets all the terrorists, be absolutely outraged by what happened on October 7th while also being utterly, utterly horrified by the killing of children in enormous numbers and the witnessing of many of the other horrors that have come out of this.

Those things do not exclude each other in any way. They’re not even vaguely contradictory.

Palestinie doesn’t exist

I mean, it does where I live. Wikipedia link.

As of June 2024, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 145 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, or just over 75% of all UN members.

Gosh, there really is a lot of green on that map. More than I was expecting tbh.

LOLOL. I’m actually chuckling away out loud here.

“Dig out some of the best footage from the war that we have”

“Yes boss. Done.”

“NOT THAT YOU DONKEY”

Like everyone and their mother knows that’s Ukrainians doing God’s work in the trench.

I also found the whole thing more than a bit distasteful tbh and I’m a huge supporter of Ukraine.

Any lady that old is going to say whatever the hell she needs to to get soldiers (of any kind, I’d wager) away from her. Like there’s no question she considers Kursk to be Russian so any Ukrainian soldier trying to get her to say “oh yeah, the Ukrainian army is great” and she does it is down to the power imbalance.

Like what was she supposed to say? “No lads, you fuck off home now” and hope for the best that she doesn’t get shot?

Yeah, they’re doing incredible work. BBC saying they’re now creating their own prepared lines of defence so it looks like they’re there to stay for the long haul.

Many thanks!

Ah that’s very kind and I’d love to take that level of credit but tbh it came from a moment of reflection doing one of those things that we all do when we’re young which is to over-examine our previous actions.

Sometimes that’s really healthy and in adulthood absolutely imperative (edit: especially as a parent and I try so hard to be a good one) but when you’re young that looking back and cringing can lead to unkindness towards yourself when you’re still growing into who you’ll be.

It was just a decent moment of cop on but it really did serve me well.

Edit: And hey… Don’t stress too much about whether you’re an adult. As long as you’re trying to be a good person and reflect (not too harshly) on your mistakes then jog on, friend.

I don’t actually mind if someone’s been a cunt to me as long as they reflect on it and say sorry. We’re all a cunt occasionally because life isn’t smooth. Sometimes external stressors or being caught up in a moment cause you to behave in ways that aren’t you and result in regret. That’s OK. It’s the reflection with intent to improve and communicating it to your loved ones, usually by saying sorry, that’s really, really important IMO.

For anyone over the age of 26, I want you to think back to how you saw the world when you were 18.

I had a rule that I think is solid… If I looked back two years and thought I was an idiot then I probably was still one.

27 year old me realised I’d become a man at 25.

Is a shotgun really only $200?

The segfault at the end was perfection.

Such alliteration. I’m in awe. Like 6 B words in a row and not one of them is bitch.

Amazing.
