Dunno if it was posted here last night but I'm cackling at this Brit who went to Ukraine assuming it'd be just like when he was merking paups in Iraq and Afghanistan https://twitter.com/j_bigboote/status/1502023889664233472

Convex posted:Not sure this is a lol tbh, unless I missed the part where he talked about how much he wants to kill paups Reveilled posted:Eh, I admit I found "nobody in this generation has faced off against the firepower of a conventional army, says former active member of a conventional army" rather amusing. Maybe he assumed everyone he was shooting at in Iraq was in their 60s. Also, a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan arriving in Ukraine and going "wait, they have planes?" and then immediately fleeing is indicative of a mindset that it was going to go like before, when it was them who had the air superiority and overwhelming force.

therattle posted:Normalising relationships with Iran is long overdue, and the cynicism of the timing of this is nakedly obvious, but let's not pretend that Iran is a delightful regime either. Reducing dependence on fossil fuels and the appalling governments who control a lot of them must be the better route. Is this aimed at me? I'm just celebrating someone being released from unjust imprisonment?  therattle posted:I am surprised that this story hasn't been discussed here, although there isn't much to say other than Jesus loving Chist, and can some pigs please get prosecuted and sent to jail for this, please. I saw it on Twitter but am posting the Grauniad article: Is there a single cop in the Met who isn't blatantly a criminal themselves?

*bursting in from four pages back* algorithm is indeed like algebra in that algebra comes from al-jabr, in this case algorithm is a westernisation of this guy's name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_ibn_Musa_al-Khwarizmi Al-Khwarizmi got latinised to algoritmi and softened over time. Interestingly Khwarazm, also known as Chorasmia is part of the Greater Khorasan region that might be sounding familiar to Star Wars nerds. And for the Final Fantasy nerds the Timurid Empire considered it a rival of Samarkand and thus had the city based there destroyed.

Go for it, we can then give it the Colston treatment.

Darth Walrus posted:A recent Freedom of Information request by the Canary disclosed that the Met Police strip-searched 172,000 people in the past five years, including 9,000 under 18 and 2,000 under 16. or, to put it another way, the Met strip-searched an average of 94 people a day since 2017, including five under-eighteens and one under-sixteen. Hmmmm. Starting to think these ACAB folks might have a point.

There's 'insulting someone's wife' and there's 'mocking someone's debilitating condition' and I think it's worth noting there's a difference there, even if the choice of Smith to choose violence isn't necessarily justified. Acting like this is purely a 'my property' angle suggests that Smith could only be angry that his property was diminished rather than the emotional flash one might have when someone suffering from a horrible condition, that they empathise with on a daily basis, is made light of in front of a large audience. Yes, he was not right to be violent, and yet it's simplistic to say that having an emotional reaction is of itself toxic.
