Navies really are a State game. And if anyone will compete with States on that front, it would be logistics or insurance corporations that need their own defensive navies to insure their cargo ships. As far as force multipliers go, navies take the most bodies to begin benefitting from those force multipliers, and every possible decision comes with either another limitation, a naval treaty, or a special interest group.

It was really interesting trying to work out what a naval defense treaty would look like in a coastal anarcho-capitalist region. Force-multipliers of air and land are one thing, but fucking _no one_ is in the business of making consumer-grade naval craft, and the consumer-grade ships out there require a crew complement -- a far cry from the drones and stationary/mobile defense systems the average person could have access to. But in the world of navies, undersea operations are the guerilla field -- whether it be mining or sabotage or coastal defense batteries done up in the most tasteful of historical styles, the propertyholders would not leave themselves vulnerable in that way.

With no radio authority in the area, signals intelligence and signals counteroperations becomes a lot more viable, as you are taking the risk upon yourself. Jamming, spoofing, outright sabotage to red force infrastructure would likely be commonplace to assert land, airspace, and radiospace sovereignty.

Just some thoughts.

If you identify as on the left, and aren’t always trying to become more “inclusive”, then you are called a bigot by gullible morons, and you lose social status among your fellow liberals.

The realization people need to have is that people that can’t recognize we’re at the point where straight men are shaming lesbians into having sex with them, and people are endorsing it.

Gay people do not need to apologize for being gay. Anyone that tells you, directly or indirectly, that a gay person should apologize for being gay, is someone that you should recognize is, at best, a moron, and at worst is actively predatory.

serious question, anyone got numbers on excess deaths in the UK due to the heat wave?

> Combined, the mRNA vaccines were associated with an absolute risk increase of serious adverse events of special interest of 12.5 per 10,000 (95% CI 2.1 to 22.9).

> The excess risk of serious adverse events of special interest surpassed the risk reduction for COVID-19 hospitalization relative to the placebo group in both Pfizer and Moderna trials (2.3 and 6.4 per 10,000 participants, respectively).

@11112011 you think you're on the right side of history but you're just shouting at the mirror

We taught losers how not to be losers. It taught them to grow up. Bullying, like most things, is extremely purposeful in moderation.

We need to bring it back. I’m doing my part as a cyberbully. Are you doing yours?
