  • Because we all know STEM fields aren’t already white-male dominated. Making it more hostile for women and minorities will reduce the amount of people that even want to get into the field, thus reducing actual talent. Studies also show that diverse groups tend to problem-solve better than homogeneous ones as they tend to consider a wider array of possibilities and avoid groupthink.

    Fuck this frail white-ego bullshit.







  • I love seeing these comics. You can always count on like 20 white males showing up asking how this is funny, that it’s a strawman, that pizzacake is terrible, blah blah blah.

    The simple thing is, they are comics that give a flavor of the times. Males ARE acting this way. Is it a caricature of a scenario, sure, but that’s what a fucking comic is. Does it have to be “funny” in order to be a comic? No, there are political comics everywhere. Why does pizzacake only get this sort of ire? Is it because she’s calling out white males on the absurdity of their actions, and they don’t like it?

    My advice? Chill TF out bros. It’s a comic. If you don’t like it, maybe you should talk to your buddies when they start acting like Andrew Taint’s mouthpiece. Toxic masculinity is a real issue. Sorry that it takes a fucking pizzacake comic to discuss it…

    I biased against meth, but also afraid of it as well. Doesn’t mean I’m going to go out of my way to try it and assess whether it’s really as bad as they say. I also won’t try out any poison, random pills I find, or anything I have to inject.

    Fear is a healthy thing sometimes, mate.









  • From what I understand, it’s essentially a long range artillery system.

    And yeah, it doesn’t completely destroy the helicopter, unless it’s a direct or near hit, but my god, from an engineering perspective, this craft is almost totaled. Ever single shot needs to be analyzed to determine if presents a critical risk to operation. Every ping on the rotary blades represents a new location for stress concentrations and likely failures. They will have to replace all of the blades, all of the panels, examine the entire engine, transmission, etc. the costs associated with this are astronomical.

    Can they still fly it? Possibly, but no nation that values their pilots and flight personnel will ever risk it. That said, it’s Russia…it may be operational by next Tuesday.
