People tend to downvite things they think are stupid.

The person you replied to only spoke about sudden change in temperature, not falling from height.

Yeah I think that’s why Iran attacked the US base (might have been multiple, I can’t really remember) iirc.

I think a big part of why the US didn’t respond is that a) they took out Soleimani first and b) an Iranian air defence battery, on high alert expecting US retaliation, immediatley shot down a passenger jet.

The airliner being downed really took the sting out of it, kind of like someone swinging at you, barely connecting, and then immediately punching themselves in the dick.

It’s more likely that they are being sent because they are trained to operate THAAD and sending them is more efficient than training IDF troops to operate it.

Iran launched missiles at US bases in Iraq a few years ago with very little in the way of retaliation.

Operating the anti ballistic missile aystem that’s being sent.

The party that kicked members out for claiming that Israel influenced politics in the UK is hilariously influenced by Israel.

It’s crazy how scared neolibs were of an actual socialist (Jeremy Corbyn) getting near the levers of power.

The moons would almost certainly fall into Jupiter or be thrown from its orbit if itsuddenly gained enough mass to become a star.

Your height range for women you would date overlaps with the height range you consider to be kids?

Try reading the rest of the article!

Did you read the article, or are you just not smart enough to work why that is different?

in international waters

You can’t see why a plane launching flares in the path of a helicopter in international waters is problematic?

You are definitely highly regarded.

Its existence stems from people defending the massacre at Tiannenmen square.

I dont know if you or the person you picked it up from made this up but that is not the origin of the term.

The term “tankie” was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.

Tankies are pro authoritarian, and always have been.

Happily we no longer need to wonder as op confirmed this was not hyperbole.

You see sometime people say things that isn’t true for dramatic effect.

An interesting thing to post to someone who declared they were being sarcastic. You know, when I said aomething that wasn’t true for dramatic effect?

Would that really make it less mental?

I was being sarcastic; its fucking mental to brag about how easily your sister resorts to violence.

Seems like a perfectly rational response.
