The people with enforcement capacity all either work for the president or they work for the courts and therefore rely on the president’s people to carry out any court orders. It’s wild that it took this long for the cracks in our system to show, really.

Cheaper, disposable, fast moving vehicles with some heavy armament make more sense as a drone platform.

Rocket tag with drone tank hunters fits into my vision, but my point is just that any and all military operations will inevitably revolve around people with guns and instead of getting fully automated robot on robot warfare we’re going to turn war into an automated shooting gallery where poor people are the targets.

Just watched Andor s1e6

i was not expecting to be rooting for commies with space-AKs to reenact the plot of Goldfinger while an indigenous group that is currently undergoing proletarianization celebrates their last pre-industrial ritual but that’s what happened and it was pretty cool.

TV and movie sound departments be like

I will make all of the dialogue too quiet to hear and then when the audience increases the volume I will blow out their ear drums! How delightfully devilish!

Every season of Survivor I hope for the contestants to vote off Jeff Probst because his challenges exist only to divide the tribe and create conflict.

quadcopter type drones have their limitations, and the more ubiquitous they become the more R&D will be put into defeating them. At the end of the day though any war will require something to take and hold ground which is something air power of any kind simply can’t do on its own, so mobile heavy weapons make a lot of sense deployed alongside infantry for that purpose, whether that’s in the form of a drone, or a light or a heavy traditionally-piloted vehicle.

in twenty years warfare will be flying drones, drone tanks, drone arty, drone AA, and trenches full of conscripts being shot at by the robots.

I wanna visit the Indus Valley Civilization and see what they were about. If I’m not changing history I’m just gonna be a temporal tourist, hosting a livestream where I ask Romans where the best fast food is at and stuff.
