Even that can be a bit blurry. When it comes to criticizing Israel, the guidance I have is to be specific. There’s a big difference between saying that Israel is creating an apartheid state in the West Bank, vs Isreal controls the US government. And one has to be a little more on their facts, because anti-semites will use legitimate criticism of the state of Israel to mask their antisemitism. The poster who started this comment thread is much more so the ladder especially by doubling down with the crypto red-pill bs.

I’m going to refer to the GOAT, Philosophy Tube and her video on anti-Semitism

What we know is that the plane didn’t land and instead hovered. This could be due to ground effect. Ground effect is an effect where planes have significantly more lift when within a wing length of the ground. Usually Pilots can mitigate this but sometimes they make a mistake and float down the runway. It’s even worse when they make the plane go up and down at that low altitude. That’s called a pilot-induced oscillation.

There might have also been a microburst involved. That would make it seem that there’s headwind up until a certain point and then there is a tailwind. That means that at the airport, The wind speed would look fine up until a certain point where the direction reversed making it even harder to land. From that point, the pilots should execute what’s called a go-around and basically take off again but there might not have been enough Runway to do so.

This is speculation on my part. There may have been other things involved but this is my best guess. I think the microburst is the most likely and they may have been coming in a little too fast regardless.

There can be a number of human factors that create errors on landing. Some people just want to get out of the plane as soon as possible and so they are more willing to take risks. Sometimes they have complacency because they’ve landed at that same airport hundreds of times. Maybe they were fixated on some other problem in the cockpit while landing. All of that should be uncovered in the investigation.

Cut it with the crypto Nazi bullshit. You’re talking out of your ass

The theory that it’s connected to Israel sounds tenuous at best. It sounds anti-semitic at worst. Kirk was spreading American Evangelicalism which is a direct boon to Israel because the biggest non-jewish Zionists are evangelical.

I’ve seen the trope way too many times, where the shadowy Jews are killing the elites and are obviously responsible for everything from vaccines and autism to killing JFK to leaking war plans in the Dryfus affair. The further you get away from the nation state of Israel, the less likely I am to believe that Israel is to blame. We’ll probably figure out why he was killed in the end. Or maybe not

I get what you’re saying but the Republicans did just remove all funding from USAID and PEPFAR, dooming millions in the global south to death by hunger and disease. And instead they are going for an extractive approach. (I know, like they weren’t already, but the US wants to use hard power everywhere now which is the stupidest idea ever) I got the chance to speak with some USAID veterans and it isn’t pretty. Even in the global South, the United States is losing a lot of favorability because of these cuts. That’s what happens when you cut your soft power agency into pieces It’s a choice between the Shit party and the Shit Lite party, but at least a number of decent people have leverage over the Shit Lite party.

It would be really funny if New York Governor Hochul named it Lake Ontario again

The B-2 isn’t a dive bomber last time I checked

Looks like the president wants his bonds shaken not stirred

Well I kicked out a trans woman from a church. And I’ve done some other stuff. I was able to meet a friend of mine from years ago who’s transgender and I tried to “convince him out of it” but he certainly didn’t blame me. In fact, he was like that couple years before we met.

It’s a relatively common thing and I try not to blame myself for it because I did what I could with what I was given.

Huh. I used to use the laundromat a few doors down. There are some great places in traverse City that we can go to anyway. We’ve got a good trans/LGBT in general Community there. And we give each other business recommendations. Granted, I never got a haircut there but I’m trying to get more hair.

What on Earth am I going to do with my life? I guess I’ll just work a job?

You can take as much or as little as you want. I’m probably going to take it once every 2 days now because it affected me so much, but your results may vary

Have you tried taking it as a suppository? (Up your butt)

It bypasses the liver and delivers more of what you have

But he’s not poor, which makes all the difference in the world. In America we especially hate poor immigrants

Another fun fact. Two items are shown. Here are the mq1 predator and the GAU 8 30 mm cannon. The mq1 weighs 1,131lbs but the cannon including all of the hydraulicsabd ammo necessary for it to function weigh 4029 lbs

The way they see it, the Putin Government must stay in power at all costs. Mobilization is a way to extend that time, because once the war ends everything else in the Russian economy falls apart. So I can see more mobilization, but of course it’s preserving a fleeting status quo by mortgaging the future

What happens when they tell you to cut off relationships or do other drastic things in the situation?

I hear you. I really do but on the other hand I like to have convenience. I could be having a higher dose sometimes and a lower dose sometimes but I thrive more on routine.

Ideologically aligned is not quite accurate. I’ve met a couple of academy grads (and many military officers in general) and they’re generally pretty smart. Much smarter than JD Vance is. Some may be aligned ideologically, but I would say that most of them are probably not. It’s a 4-year pipeline too like any college, so they would have joined in 2022.

They have been noticing the attacks of the Trump administration on higher academia. They’ve been noticing the failures of the Trump administration in foreign policy. They’ve noticed the focus on trying to get rid of the queers and women instead of legitimate Force structure reform.

They’ve taken civics classes and understand how the government is supposed to work much more than the general population. They might not yell and protest JD Vance, but I don’t think many want to endorse him either.
