On a barely related note, that reminds me of this classic financial media segment.

I’d smash.

They will, but only because he’ll die trying to make toast while taking a bath, or something else actually Darwin Award worthy.

Holy shit.

After reading both of your comments, I am left feeling dumber by at least 12%.

Quick, write about four more of them and I should be good and ready to find my way to a Darwin Award.

U know what i think …

The better question is do I care what you think, and the answer is no, not at all.

But if you insist, I’m sure whatever you’re thinking shouldn’t be too hard to figure out, as there can’t be too many possibilities. What I’m saying is, you give strong vibes of a likely future Darwin Award nominee.

It feels like none of you have actually read the Darwin Awards website that actually you know, coined the phrase.

Simply working a dangerous environment and dying within it, doesn’t make it a Darwin Award, not even a nominee.

She was there to do a job that required a lot of attention on it’s own. You can’t be assigned to photograph skydivers, at an airfield, without having to expend some energy and attention to doing that job.

By your logic, any of the kids who got ground up and killed cleaning meat processing plants, should have been more aware. Guess they’re also Darwin Award winners, at least by your metrics.

Darwin Awards are for deaths that are so stupendously stupid and insane, that the removal of their genes from the gene pool acts as a kind of cleanse.

Such as the guy who stuck a plunger in the shower as a makeshift dildo, held on to the shower curtain rod area for support, which proceeded to break under his weight and impaled him.

That’s an actual Darwin Award. Not this poor lady.

That’s not what Darwin awards are for.

Ironically, the fact that you think it is, means if you have an untimely death, there’s a good chance it will be eligible.

No asshole, read the article before making such callous comments.

She was there, on assignment for work. Small airfields are very dangerous, and this type of accident can happen to anyone who isn’t fully focused on their surroundings. Such as a photographer who is taking photographs as part of their job, steps in the wrong direction.

I guess I kind of feel for some of these guys, but the Cybertruck was always going to be a political statement.

Putting aside how dumb it looks, or how terrible it actually is, it’s a cultural signifier. Unlike the other Tesla cars, that can easily be separated from Musk and his “brand”, that can’t be done here.

Musk and his brand was baked into it from conception to production, so, I don’t think this is going to resolve itself anytime soon.

Let me jump back to my first point though, I feel kinda sorry for anyone who bought this simply because they have really bad taste, poor financial decision making skills, but who also genuinely weren’t aware of the political implications or cultural baggage it would carry.

Although, now that I think about it, every time I’ve seen a Cybertruck driving, I have also started laughing, but only because it looks just so dumb, and I can’t help but imagine the driver losing his finger trying to close trunk.

Where are you getting your history from? Because I imagine the Cubans and Boers would disagree, and those are two of the earliest, if not the first uses of what we consider to be concentration camps.

They havs always used to imprison civilian non-combatants, and the only benchmark by which some were simply “not very pleasant”, is if you compare every other example to the worst examples, which were the Nazi concentration camps.

Dude, they mostly speak Spanish, not German…But yes, I agree, that would make a great motto for:

The Better Camps for More Concentration

I’m thinking we put a sign up at the gates that reads:

El Trabajo te Hace Libre

Anywho, now we’re cooking with gas.

Thanks for the assist!

Look it makes sense to concentrate them…into camps.

And the more that I think about it, militarized camps sounds ominous.

How about a friendlier name, like concentration camps.

They’re just like summer camp, but you where you learn to concentrate more better.

Ah ha! Nailed it:

The Better Camps for More Concentration

That, and people who have certain underlying mental health issues, or a family history of them, such as schizophrenia, should never take psychedelic drugs.

Consult a doctor, or at least Google, for a more complete list of the conditions that do not respond well to psychedelics.

It’s a center left Web 2.0 / Death of Traditional Journalism outlet, but still credible on a purely factual basis i.e. basic reported facts are probably accurate.

It’s brand of leftism would best be described as progressive Democrat, and their analysis and editorial choices should be understood as primarily coming from those sensibilities and culture affectations e.g. educated, middle class, and a socially/culturally left brand of neoliberalism.

This is just sad. Assuming he didn’t actually kill her, or cause her death via neglect, it’s fairly sympathetic.

…you realize that other users can see both your account creation date, and old comments…right?

Your account is literally a day old…or rather, the account you’re using at this moment.

You probably shouldn’t make these ambiguous comments with your brand new alt/Smurf/shill account.

Without a post history I can’t tell if you’re recommending McKinsey in good faith, which would be hilarious btw.

Or if you’re trying to make a sarcastic recommendation because you think McKinsey would have some adverse affect on the efficacy, or posture, of the US DOD. Which would also be funny, as it would imply that you made that joke while being unaware that McKinsey already does quite a lot work within the US MIC.

Anyways, while I found you use of a brand new account to leave that specific comment amusing…still, fuck McKinsey and anyone who’s ever worked for them cough Mayor Pete.

Soviet improvement as the war went on was a function of lend lease, Red Army finally recovering from the Stalinist officer purges, and Germany’s failures (incompetence, lack of material, overstretched supply lines, etc.)

Regardless, the Red Army no longer exists and Soviet Cold War doctrine isn’t really relevant to this conflict.

What do you think a blockade does…? What do you think siege warfare does…?
