  1. On the other hand, Iran has a metric fuckload of missile bases built under mountains Hooray, more escalation! I hear that's the best thing to do in these situations And man the timing is really shit, but apparently our ONLY oiler in the Red Sea is on the fritz. So we can sail our CVN's, but the birds are gas constrained. Good discussion from two retired Navy officers in the spoiler below
  2. It bears repeating, this account should be taken with a grain of salt. It has a history of misrepresenting footage from past conflicts as current and is frequently pushing a narrative with it.
  3. It would appear that russia is poisoning rivers now https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/01/ukraine-seim-river-poisoning-chernihiv-ecocide- Edit: whoops I should have caught up on the thread before I posted this
  4. I mean, if a car floods that shit is totalled. Sure, you may get it to fire up no problem after it dries out, but that thing is a ticking time bomb of corrosion eating into some wiring harness or ECU. Gremlin city
  5. It really is remarkable how much of a free pass y'all give management in all of this. It takes two to tango, and they're the ones stealing the fruits of the labor and distributing them to shareholders instead of the people generating the excess value. Why the fuck should they keep working? If they work extra hard they don't get shit for their sweat. I'm more mad at the business for eating it's seed stock and neglecting their workers to the point of putting their business in jeopardy. The workers aren't springing this out of nowhere, it's been coming for months. This date is the expiration date on a contract signed between two entities. Why should one side of the deal have the unilateral right to change the deal? That's some Vader shit
  6. If that's what their employers are asking them to do.... Who gives a shit? If they don't want to pay overtime they can hire more people. I don't get the point you're making. The union published a letter a while back that outlined their grievances - including record profits and record dividend payouts in 2022/2023, and their previously negotiated wage increases being eclipsed by inflation. Heck they even make the same point as Schulz above you. They're fucking earning that overtime pay. https://ilaunion.org/8082/
  7. From what I've read, it's mainly auto chips that consume this silicon (or rather, the wafers downstream of this raw material), so buckle up buckaroos
  8. Don't forget the classic move by the trumpists to accuse Biden of politicizing it by calling out trump's bullshit
  9. I'm fairly confident it's another GRUhorn sock
  10. Fuck you dude, you're the one that started this. I brought receipts to back my statement and now you're being a bitch about it. I'm gonna do everyone a favor and stop presuming you have the capacity to understand what people are talking about
  11. It really is incredible how you literally see a different thing from me. Truly, alternative reality This is the social media op-ed in magicsoccerspray's post that I was referencing. You can find the actual article with a quick Google. I really am gobsmacked that you're straight up seeing a different surly from me
  12. Motherfucker, the content of the op-ed itself is polticial lol. They shouldn't even be posting that in the "news" forum. There's no news in the op-ed. It's arguing that the Biden administration is not doing enough and is missing its chance to bomb bomb bomb Iran. There's no room to have that policy discussion on the Daily Texan, because it's fucking political by nature. Don't get mad at me for pointing out the turds that other people are pinching off in the punch bowl.
  13. Using rhetoric to incite violence against immigrant communities has long been a part of the fascist playbook
  14. and if it's not clear, I'm talking about the surly board that we're posting on not the UT student newspaper. Must be sniffing too many wellheads again
  15. and this, dear reader, is how Rex is made. This is the last paragraph from the op-ed (that earlier cites jared fucking kushner as an authority on Middle East peace): The article is just pure warmongering and advocating for State on State violence, specifically targetting nuclear programs as a step of escalation. My point is that the very fine posters such as yourself and FattyFlatty and JohnnySack/FrankDrebin and the rest of the illuminaries have a really fucking bad habit of finding the most reactionary and dogshit sources you can, and then catastophizing off of each story you could find for eachother. It's like visiting my grandma's retirement community when fox news is on. Nobody is actually paying attention to what's being said and who's sourcing it (just like you don't actually read the shit you're defending), they just know they're BIGMAD. I used rittenhouse and perry and the myriad police brutality protests/riots as a historical example of yall doing that over and over and over and over and over on the Daily Texan board.
  16. Well that's not where the link leads so I'm not sure what to tell you lol. Here, I'll quote to the post: This is the post I mentioned that is literally titled ".... and the virtue of escaltion". It's endorsed by an election truther former congressman that now works for Palantir. This op-ed is advocating for escalation to knock out Iran in an all-out war. That's fucking insane and will lead to global conflict. But rah rah Israel! or something. This post (and many in the DT thread in general) feature the Xitter account "OSint613" and they've got a history of posting inaccurate shit to further motivate the culture war narrative or stoke outrage. edit: here's another example of OSint613 disinformation fuckery.
  17. Daily Texan is the board with that thread. The DT threads on Rittenhouse or Daniel Perry or George Floyd or Jan 6 or COVID or really anything that lands in a culture war are routinely cess pools that feature loads of far right demagoguery disguised as """citizen journalism""". And I linked to magicsoccerspray, not Bevo? Dude are you ok? Smelling toast or anything? You're really not picking up on basic context lol.
  18. Oh wait what? I thought you were just being a pissant lol. Do you not click through the links that people post? Must be a small world when you're fundamentally not curious
  19. To that point, you should listen to an episode of Knowledge Fight or two where they talk specifically about the justice system v jones. Dude has been advertising all the other places and platforms he'll be moving too once he loses infowars. It's mostly been shell corps under his dad so far

    Unfortunately, native Texans are the people setting the table for the fascist fucks that ARE voting in the current shit show. Oil and Gas barons in west Texas send their regards.
  21. I thought the irony of having a gay Asian guy portray a chud from Appalachia was funny all on its own lol. The fact that they both wear eyeliner is just a cherry on top
  22. [Daily]What if I instead linked a bunch of op-ed about how escalation is actually a good thing and should be encouraged in this conflict?[/Texan]
