Well those Jehovah witnesses weren’t going to ship themselves to Siberia.

Some call it divine intervention by the state.

Surround the thing with solar panels and then you’ve got yourself an environmentally friendly peice of space debris.

L.A. is fuckin crazy lol they will blast on anyone. The fact they drove off in a G35 is icing on the cake though. Mfs will probably be flexing the secret service bag at the takeover later 😂🤣

The classic 4chan cars for under 5K chart still largely holds up today.

Take it with a grain of salt and perhaps bump the years up by a decade or so.

Personally i would take a 20 year old car with low milage that still has solid saftey features and a comfortable interior vs a newer car with better technology, but arguably worse saftey features and undoubtedly worse privacy.

Not to mention it’s going to be cheaper to break some shit on an old car vs a brand new one that’s loaded with sensors and computers. My 2 cents anyways.

That and ring doorbells being used as a big data harvesting point for the police.

The surveillance culture we have is so normalized now people don’t even care that their security camera is more of a corporate livestream then a secure loop. But hey, how else an I gonna pust pictures of the guy stealing my 3rd Amazon package of the day.

Damn, this mf really found a way to use Lemmy to fulfill their abusive message fetish. I respect this deeply.

" Siding with Yemen " is a bit rich. The writing is on the wall for the current regional war to expand into a proper world war. They don’t want their infrastructure, be it shipping or oil related to be hit by missles.

It’s one thing to carry out an air campaign halfway across the earth where your enemy cannot reach your homeland. It’s a bit different when the war is in your backyard and not on the television.

Same reason why Saudi Arabia is so squeamish about this whole air raid campaign. Both nations host American bases and troops. They are the logical first targets for the Houthi’s to attack. Signing off on this would be stepping foot into the ring as a meatshield, with little to gain from this charade.

Yemen has already been bombed back into the stone ages, infrastructure wise. More airstrikes will not break them.

The moment America cannot act as the unilateral head of NATO is the moment it collapses.

France, Germany, The U.K. and Turkey would then become the defacto " great" powers of Europe and the whole balance of power in the E.U. would be thrown off.

Not likely to happen for the time being, but if Trump somehow manages to get elected again the Europeans would be wise to consider their alternative options.
