So what did we accomplish?
…What did we go in to accomplish, for that matter?
I’m not talking about distractions, that’s fine to discuss, but as far as I’m aware, I’ve not heard any justification for why we went in and that we’ve reached any objectives.


Sweet. I’ve been a tiny enthusiast of Markdown for almost 20 years. It’s just a great format.
I host a forum for a gaming community and it uses BBcode, which was… not completely terrible for the time, but ever since I used markdown, I’ve always hated it. heh. Markdown is just simple and easy to remember, and it’s easy to use. It quickly becomes second nature.


Well, that was a nice attempt to be cute, but it ignores realty. People being bombed probably don’t have a vote. And if they do, they should vote for Democrats who are by far the less warmongering party.
As with domestic issues, the implication is not that the Dems are perfect. Far from it. But they are generally reasonable, especially when contrasted with the fascists who most certainly are not.
Saying things like “you are living a peaceful life far away from US bombs.” in an attempt to invalidate my statement doesn’t help your case, nor does it change the reality that blue is better - or at least, less bad.


Thank you for your shitty reply. I’m glad to know who you are so I can eliminate seeing anything from you in future. It’s delightful when people just come out and let you know the kind of person they are.


Seems like a generalized automoderator tool might be handy that would allow a wide variety of actions :)


Well, if you can’t cook it in a slow cooker, hurry up and make it snappy!


Ahhh, now you’re bringing back bad memories of all-black faxes. I didn’t have to deal with faxes often, but I hated every single time I did. lol


It’s impossible that they didn’t know what they were doing.
It’s absolutely not impossible.
It’s irresponsible and stupid, but it’s absolutely not impossible. People and systems can be smart, but often they are very very dumb.
That said, I wouldn’t be shocked if nobody could be bothered to remove it from a target list under the idea of claiming it was an accident or something.
But do I think it’s impossible the people putting it on the target list didn’t know? Not at all. (But do I think it was likely there wasn’t someone who knew? Also yes)


Came here to say basically this. I read that it used to be on the compound, but that it was separated out by a wall and made into a school some time ago - long enough that it means (if it’s true) we were using very outdated data, but you can apparently see on Google maps that it used to be part of the compound but now is outside the compound.
So a charitable interpretation is that we used outdated information to bomb what we thought was a military building. And of course there are less charitable interpretations.


I think the knowledge is more widespread on lemmy than imgur, but worth remembering: If he doesn’t sign legislation within 10 days, as long as Congress is in session, it will automatically go into effect. So the Senate doesn’t even have to shut down, they can keep on passing legislation, as long as they’re in session.


Or The West Wing. :)


On November 15, 2025, Aceituno was […]
Ima stop you there and ask: On November 14, 2025, if you had asked him who he supported, would he have said Trump? Because I bet the answer is “yes”, and if so, fuck everyone like him. They support Trump until something happens to them. They can’t be bothered to understand how any of this affects anyone but themselves.
Of course I’ll be glad if he votes blue from here on out, but I bet he won’t.


Your comment is more work than merely removing the submission, but I, for one, highly appreciate it. I get to see the story and better sources. <3


aww, that is hilarious and delightful.


Was that the issue with the format? I always hated how it was a crapshoot on whether I could use any particular tiff in any particular app for no apparent reason. heh

I don’t intentionally. I have severe ADHD and I’ve never noticed any effects no matter how little or how much I consume.
