Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

No one today would accuse Americans of being alert and knowledgeable. It's a nation of debt slaves, thinking they're philosopher kings because they get to give a Facebook thumbs up ...

Hah... that's so right! ... Wait... oh shit... they're talking about me. ooooooooooooooh

My time as a silly fucking child in the Army 20+ years ago reminds me that I was very shocked at the lack of maintenance or even care to diligently maintain most vehicles/equipment beyond "its good enough to not get in trouble because nobody with rank knows enough to be able to tell how broken the thing really is."

Funny enough NATO "leftists" like Lazerpig accuse the current Russian military of that same "good enough not to get in trouble" non-maintenance. Every accusation a confession!

Lazerpig explaining how the t14 is actually two pigs under a blanket holding hands

"The T14 isn't real, it can't hurt Ukranian soldiers..."

I liked lazerpig more when I was binging his entire channel while drowning out the pain of an ear infection with alcohol a few years ago (before the SMO).

Made for a far better experience than trying to wade through slava ukraini nonsense, and being sober.

How had I not heard before that Iran's attack hit the officer's swimming pool at Nevatim air base? That is way too funny.

porky-happy: "Heh, what if we turned 99% of people into literal human cattle?"

porky-scared-flipped: "Wait, you mean the cattle we fed poison to are in no condition to be our attack dogs? You mean some of them caught on and don't WANT to be our attack dogs?"
