9/11
Thinking of 9/11. Two Guys on Your Head talk about 9/11 and how a social consensus formed with our foreign policy and whether it is a good way to move forward. IMO it is good to be self aware about these sort of ideas. It is only 8 minutes in length. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/remembering-9-11/id845287058?i=1000534931910 Looking at the raw numbers. 2,996 people died from the attacks on 9/11. The cost of the war in Afghanistan included over $2 trillion or $300 million per day for 20 years and the lives of 2,448 US service members, 3,846 US contractors, 66,000 afghan military/police, 1,144 allied service members (NATO, et, al.), 47,245 afghan civilians, 444 aid workers, 72 journalists, and 51,191 taliban and opposition fighters. Another way to put things in perspective is to compare the 3k lives lost from 9/11 to the lives lost from covid (600k in US) or to any other cause of mortality. https://www.forbes.com/sites/hanktucker/2021/08/16/the-war-in-afghanistan-cost-america-300-million-per-day-for-20-years-with-big-bills-yet-to-come/?sh=73f3fe4a7f8d https://apnews.com/article/middle-east-business-afghanistan-43d8f53b35e80ec18c130cd683e1a38f https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7014e1.htm

Tell me what's happening in Afganistan (no CR. Can't we all just get along?)
Hmmm. It appears your SPCA source along with the US military is at odds with Russia Today reporter and the Taliban commander. I wonder who we should believe?

You may be the most dishonest poster on this site. I had thought your main issue was that you were captured by right wing propaganda, but it is becoming clear that you are simply a morally flawed individual. If your problem was just propaganda, there are solutions. I don't know of a solution for a fixing dishonesty.

DOD says no military dogs were left behind. https://www.defenseone.com/threats/2021/08/no-us-military-dogs-were-left-behind-afghanistan-dod-says/184984/ Add that with the helicopter hanging lie to the list of debunked stories.

I'm not having a debate with you. You position that all the generals told Biden to not give up Bagram is obviously an unsupported lie. That isn't of issue. Rather than debating you, what I am doing is telling you what it takes to be a good citizen, which requires cleaning up your information diet - removing the daily mail and twitter until you are able to process information.

You can type slow. That doesn't change the fact your positions are unsupported. The real question though is why do you have unsupported positions, share them with others, and then fail to change those positions when shown that your positions are unsupported. I am giving you that answer. I'm helping you out. The reason is your information diet and the information bubble you are in. I'm telling you that today's world requires a good citizen to be properly informed and able to control their information diet. You can change. You can become a good citizen by choice and then by action.

Your positions and narratives are unsupported. I'm helping you out by letting you know that this (along with the doha and Fauci stuff) is the result of the information you choose to consume. You have the ability to change your information diet. It is hard and takes effort but is required in order to be a responsible citizen in today's US
-
Afghan War ending, foretold by The Onion 10 years Ago [DT thread ruined by politics]
I'm saying the root cause of your unsupported narratives is your information diet.

Afghan War ending, foretold by The Onion 10 years Ago [DT thread ruined by politics]
It is. It can be used for right-wing revenge porn just as much as left-wing revenge porn. The trick is to understand that and limit consumption to a small group of trusted users.

One that is likely amplified by an inability to properly manage your information diet. There is a reason why you have accepted that all the generals wanted to use Bagram, that the taliban broke their promises in the DOHA, that Fauci went behind Trump's back to restart GOF research, or that Fauci's emails show he was the father of covid. That reason has to do with your information diet and inability to properly regulate the media you choose to consume. For example, the daily mail should be removed from your diet - along with anything on twitter until you are able to properly use it.
-

Consider whether the daily mail along with anything on twitter is something you need in your information diet. Just because you see something on twitter that fits your world view, doesn't mean you should consume it or pass it on.

If the Taliban can have M4's why can't we? Hell we paid for those. A sizable portion of our population is already too much like the taliban

What the hell? So they can have a pipeline to Germany. But, can't sell us ammo? Ass backwards Banning imports of ammo from an adversary shouldn’t be equated to an ally receiving a pipeline and increased energy capacity

Afghan War ending, foretold by The Onion 10 years Ago [DT thread ruined by politics]
I get it. You think that is evidence showing the taliban broke the conditions in the DOHA. It isn’t.
-
Afghan War ending, foretold by The Onion 10 years Ago [DT thread ruined by politics]
Yeah, no. That isn’t verification that the taliban violated conditions of the Doha. Read the summary of the UN document you linked. Either you are an idiot or acting in bad faith.
-
Afghan War ending, foretold by The Onion 10 years Ago [DT thread ruined by politics]
No, you didn’t verify that the Taliban broke the terms of the DOHA agreement.
-
Afghan War ending, foretold by The Onion 10 years Ago [DT thread ruined by politics]
When presented with information disproving a position, you should revise your position. To not do so, it makes you look like an idiot or someone acting in bad faith.

Hahaha. Why is it Baby Yaga is always the biggest clown in these threads? He states a position. When asked to show evidence to support that position, he provides evidence that doesn’t support the position. Others provide evidence countering Baby Yaga’s position. Baby Yaga doubles down with evidence that doesn’t support his position. Rinse and repeat.

First they take away my child porn and next they’ll take my guns and political opinion!!!?!

Apple Will Now Scan Your iPhone For Sexual Abuse Photos
Yes, dumbass, I used hyperbole to emphasize the following point: is such a dangerous cession of privacy justified by the threat to society posed by the existence of child porn? It is only a “dangerous cessation of privacy” when using hyperbole, extremism, exaggeration and slippery slope. I get it. Tell us again that you aren’t a pedophile. You aren’t a pedophile, but you are concerned that there may be some mistakenly on your iCloud account?

Apple Will Now Scan Your iPhone For Sexual Abuse Photos
Sometimes people use hyperbole, extremism, and exaggeration to make shitty points such as folks on here equating the topic to home searches by cops, vehicle searches by cops, Chinese facial recognition monitoring, or auto mechanic searches. I'm actually most shocked that folks have been able to freely keep their child porn stored on the icloud and have seemingly used icloud to transmit between parties. Like, how the fuck have we gone this far without addressing it?
-
Apple Will Now Scan Your iPhone For Sexual Abuse Photos
That would be the sacrifice of all privacy. We have the 4th amendment which protects against unreasonable search and seizure by the government. The subject of this thread is about the scanning of icloud pics for pedophilia. How is that the sacrifice of all privacy? That is a question I posed to MaybeACoordinator. Clearly it isn't. There is clearly use of hyperbole and exaggeration in expressing the consequences of this topic. I'm am pointing out the hyperbole through rhetorical questions. The mechanic doesn't need a warrant, just like Apple doesn't need a warrant. My point is that this is not the "complete loss of all privacy" as presented by some of the smooth brain folks like MaybeACoordinator.
