  • They the reason the had injected all the additional regex to scrape for alts was because THEY were in the business of gaslighting the rest of us with alts…

    But so we don’t end up on witch hunts, all the histogram says is that they are likely in a similar time zone and on a similar schedule.

    Edit: on further inspection the first user seems to peak at about 16:00, whereas the second user has their peak usage at ~14:00, which, obviously, means they’re both dumping grumpies at around that time. Its very unlikely they are capable of dumping grumpies twice in a row, unless they’re on a medicinal amount of fiber.











  • There are some really good responses if you search “US military doctrine” or just “military doctrine” with “only comments” checked.

    The TLDR is that the us military isn’t this expensive or structured this way because it’s good for the US. Its this way because it’s good for the military industrial consultant industry, and by and large, US military doctrine is captured by this industry. Over decades,they selected for systems and manners of thinking which were profitable and supportive of them; not of US citizens or the world at large, or anyone but themselves really.

    The US military isn’t built to be a good fighting force. Its built to be an expensive, very dependent on very expensive people and things fighting force. And sometimes those two things overlap. But anyone even moderately versed in military doctrine knows this already; that there are some very structural rules which determines who wins and loses. Its much more boring than F35s and reaper drones.
