The Air Force desired a “hardened” MQ-X airframe, the history states—an airframe that could “withstand significant battle damage, while the on-board systems detected, avoided and countered both physical anti-air and electronic communications and GPS jamming threats.”

Ideally, the MQ-X would meet all these requirements. The Avenger, however, could not—according to the Air Force.

I'm kinda new to SA but does D&D really probe for politely worded disagreements re: people's optimism in the Ukraine conflict?

Seems that way and just lol. Definitely seeing what you guys always say about that subforum.
Ytlaya made a good point in one of the many D&D feedback threads: if you want to argue a position opposed to the zeitgeist in there you need to make your points in one or two posts then stop, because if you dig in and tenaciously defend an unpopular position the probability of you getting punished approaches 1. Not even because of conscious ideological enforcement, just because the mods are blind to their own biases and mods that don't share the biases of the user base get hounded out sooner or later.

Either a mod reading the conversation will feel that since they think your position is wrong it must be fallacious and eventually they find some formal fallacy to accuse you of committing (and well good luck arguing with them in PMs that they wrongly identified a fallacy or continuing the discussion the next day), or people get mad enough at opposing ideas to start reporting all your posts and whichever mod has to clear the report queue that day is like "gently caress all these reports about the same person they must be the problem" and well there's a button right there to put a 6 to 24 hour stop on the posts that are being reported, so

By definition, nobody can deliver to the left of any actual progress that is being made, because then their progress would be actual and thus they could not deliver to the left of it

I am beginning to suspect this sentiment is not held in good faith :thunk:

confession: part of me is a little glad Bernie lost because chances are he would have sucked too and at least this way I can say I was right and I've always been right about Joe Biden sucking poo poo

Nah, Bernie would have sucked but he would have sucked in the ways we already know about. As much as we make fun of the libs for "incremental change" a Bernie presidency actually would have been incremental change for the better. He's just not a revolutionary Marxist like everyone who goes "you need to settle for incremental change" has in their heads because they're conservatives who don't want to be called bad people.

Ohhh the insane nervous laughter was at the idea of who would answer the question about helping refugees. That makes so much more sense than her laughing at the existence of Ukrainian refugees. Can't believe I was so confused.

i remember one guy just being aghast that anyone could be anti-interventionist, considering it horrible and immoral. i'm guessing most of these people considered themselves staunchly anti-interventionist before this and will consider themselves so afterwards.

liberals just have a separate War Brain that takes over when it's time to kill foreigners
