This slop is embarrassing

> US DoW

To be clear, it is the DoD - Department of Defense

Clears up understanding but the new name encompasses the new regimes stance quite effectively.

I mean... https://www.war.gov/

I get what you are saying, and you're not exactly wrong, but...

If I called it DoW, people get mad and point it out. If I call it DoD, people get mad and point it out. And if I put both? Fuck all of you, I'm not mentioning both over and over like DoW/DoD is GNU/Linux :)

I get it, it's a weird time. I recommend not giving into the idiocy of the current US admin.

> That sounds like a great thing to do

I agree it _sounds like a great thing to do_ but the comments Claude creates make me want to never read code again. They're so obtuse and often completely pointless.

Who knew destroying the federal government would have knock-on consequences

This could get messy

100%, Shorts are an abomination.

Twitter is just bots and nazis today, not really worth trying to save

"Elites" of both left and right stay because no matter how much they hate Elon they still need to be in the same country club with other elites. That always takes precedence.

Remember the uniparty.

Or because the masses of normies haven't left it and presenters want eyeballs.

True, though the prudent move would be to stop investing in the US entirely

If the goal of a presidency was to destroy the country one could not do a better job than trump.

No, the sensible thing to do would have been to enforce a no fly zone and tell Putin to get the fuck out. This is horrific and downplaying Russia's invasion is abhorrent.

I can't believe how many fall for the Russian propaganda while it's pretty clear who's the attacker and who is being attacked. And yet, some people still get it wrong. "Just surrender" to have peace... I can't believe it, as if an invading force comes in peace. How about "just stop attacking" instead.

The Russians ended up with a no fly zone of their own (shooting down an airliner full of civilians)

Was really hopeful https://www.pcworld.com/article/457418/black-annex-is-the-be... would come out. Followed it since the guy posted about it on SomethingAwful a long time ago. No idea what's up with it or him today.

Very much Syndicate vibes
