I'm not sure if this is supposed to be hilarious or horrifying. I think it's a little both
Does anyone know where I can find the primary source for this too? It seems truthy enough, but I want to make certain. I see other news sources reporting on it too
I'm trying to put a shitpost about the picks for Trump's cabinet, and I'm getting outdone by reality
My noncredible prediction: Elon Musk as Secretary of State
He's been married a number of times and he's cheated even more times. Can't say for certain what the last one is, but he's been in Epstein's circles
Nobody would be a fan of my little pony in 1998, and I don't know who could grow a beard at 16, but it certainly wasn't anyone I knew Though there's certainly acne
The genocide is only going to get worse. Though genocide don doesn't have as much of a ring to it. Donny and Benny are best buds
I think you wildly overestimate how powerful the CIA actually is. They're barely can understand South American politics, much less control all of Europe.
Blaming the CIA is about as productive as McCarthy blaming communists in the 50s
That sword cuts both ways. The F-35 has parts from all over the US and EU. This doesn't extend to every weapon system, but if the US refuses to support F-35s, their own F-35s would lose support too.
Tell this to an Estonian or a Pole or a Lithuanian and they'll punch you. You might not know this, but Russia has been working on a cassus belli (A reason for war) against all those countries. You can read national defense strategies on each of those countries to see what they are concerned about.
C'est faux. France is one of the founding members of NATO, however for much of the time it was under a French Command instead of a combined command.
The Baltic states certainly think so. Their entire defense posture relies on it
That decision to make it linked to the PSN is so bizarre seeing as I can literally play that game on PC already
So we can post these to the top comments on Twitter right?
Those are some kickass posters! Really good quality pics too
Slide Rule
I gotta post something, so I'll post the mechanical calculator that the flight school wanted me to get. How it works is that you can set ratios in the dial and multiply them. In this picture, it's 60:10 (or 60:1.0) so I can take any number from the inner circle in minutes and find out how many hours that is equal to on the outer circle.
There are also other things on this calculator, including a wind vector calculator, and charts. Most pilots don't use these anymore, but they still wanted me to know how to use one
To their credit, they're addressing it.
Anti CBDC bill passes the US House
This bill has just passed the US House of Representatives. Why is this important?
Today, we have Visa and Mastercard as our choice of digital payment. Some have floated crypto as an alternate, but crypto is complicated and not backed by an economy or central bank. Others have floated the idea of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) that matches the availability of Mastercard and Visa, but do not go through their services. It could also be used offline with smart devices.
Some critics have cited concerns over privacy, where the central government could collect information, while others have pointed out that Visa and Mastercard collect that sort of data anyways, and CBDCs might log less data if designed differently.
The point may soon become moot if the bill passes the Senate and receive the president's signature
My take on this bill is that it's a ban that should not be put into place. CBDC can still be issued to banks though, just not for you and me. It keeps Credit card companies able to charge high merchant fees.
If I were to write a bill on CBDC, I would put in privacy restrictions into the bill, but still allow for individual CBDC to be issued.
Rarity has gone too far this time
Rarity is the fashion pony. She'd do just about anything to be more glamorous. Poor Fluttershy gets betrayed
Not sure how I got here, but have a picture of pink fluffy ponies before I leave
The thing in the middle is Queen Chrysalis. What I would give to be her right now
