For these attacks, the US relies on consecutive rounds of strikes - missiles are dropped, killing people. A moment later - when people in the area have raced to the scene to help the wounded, another round of missiles is dropped.

This practice, known as a "double tap", as journalists have described, is being used more often.

"They appear to be targeting those who have come in to help those who are injured," said Qadri. "And that's particularly shocking."

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Step 2: hand billions of dollars to aspiring warlords and oligarchs
Step 3: stay for a decade or two repeating 1 and 2
Step 4: sadly, I guess these people just can't handle democracy

I watched the helmet cam when that poo poo was new and gently caress all that.

I have had reoccurring dreams that I've been shot and wake up from "dying" since I was like 19. That poo poo hosed me up.

The texts was a new piece of info to me.

I've tried to study it as much as I can. It's probably something I should talk to my therapist about. I'm never gonna be a Grunt again, but I still study that poo poo as a martial art.

quote:

In a decision issued today in Lippert Components, Inc. 371 NLRB No. 8 (2021), the National Labor Relations Board found that a union did not violate the National Labor Relations Act by displaying a 12-foot inflatable rat with red eyes, fangs, and claws (“Scabby the Rat”) and two large banners, one targeting a neutral employer (Lippert Components), near the public entrance to a trade show. The prior General Counsel had alleged that the display of these items was unlawfully coercive, arguing that the Board should overrule precedent. The Board had earlier issued a notice and invitation to file briefs on that question.

Bud you gotta let that poo poo go. Maybe it runs deeper for you, but the killing and "art" of it... It's filled with nothing but pain.

I feel like even just exposing yourself to these things is traumatic, and I had to take plenty of time processing it to truly move on.

I'll bring it up with her, but to me there is no emotional component- it's like watching tapes of any other martial art that one would study. It ain't really a thing to me.
