Yeah, I've never seen anybody else talking or complaining about yet. Very peculiar, and I haven't got a clue what could be up with my phone specifically that could be causing that.

Android, and as far as I know, everything's up to date. It's really bizarre.

Does the site just straight up not work on mobile for anyone else? I can only sign in when using an adblock browser, I can't filter posts or communities, search doesn't work, and hitting next keeps me on the same page.

(if I recall correctly, wikipedia even has a page just for Tibetan torture methods)

Would you happen to have a link handy? A cursory google search yields nothing but the expected anti-Maoist trash

It's always a head trip being reminded that the engines from Thomas the Tank Engine are all real

I might be going to see Santa Fe 3751 next month, and I'm so jazzed about it

Jesus Christ, how embarrassing. This kind of behavior is so baffling to me. I've been verging on poor for a good bit of my life, and I've earned money by working with my hands more often than not (and thank fucking god I'm not doing that anymore for the foreseeable future.) If I had Tim Pool's money, nobody would ever see my happy ass again.

At any rate, yeah, I never could get a grip on it. Never got a handle on roller blades either. Got pretty good with four-wheelers though lol

I've always been crap at sports in general, even things that I should've logically been good at, like wrestling (I'm a large lad.) I don't know if it's the ADHD or what, but not being able to get good at something right away often leads me to quit from sheer embarrassment.

That all sounds utterly fascinating, and also cause for me to once again bemoan my utter lack of coordination and balance

I never could get a grip on skateboarding as a kid. Alas

Exactly, no accountability, no citation, no critical analysis, not even basic questions like "How in shit's name would the MOD be able to derive anything like an accurate casualty projection in this situation."

Like I get that articles like these aren't meant for people who tend to actually think about what they're reading, but goddamn, it's just gossamer thin.

Adding to Ukraine’s woes are Russia’s huge advantage in manpower and its willingness to accept staggering losses in return for capturing small objectives

Do we even have reliable casualty numbers for the Russians (i.e. that don't come from Ukrainian reports) or is this just the usual 'Russians have no regard for human life and rely on human wave tactics' trope

Edit:

The offensive has also come at a huge cost to Moscow, with an estimated 70,000 troops lost in two months, according to the U.K. Defense Ministry which posted the projection last month on X

That explains that I guess

Hirbawi is fantastic, I bought mine in the same pattern ages ago, and it comes with me on every desert camping trip I take (back when I wasn't too lazy to do that)

Spec Ops: The Line, beyond being a pretty good game with a lot to say about the average gamer's enjoyment of military shooter power fantasies, also introduced me to my favorite band, the Black Angels, and I'll be forever grateful to it for that.
