Orlando anderson’s uncle Keefe D said they were in the car and Anderson was the shooter. Anderson was in an altercation that night with Pac and death row over a stolen chain. They were crips and death row were mob pirus bloods. It was just some gangbanger shit unfortunately. Anderson was later killed in another altercation.

Not at all.

bobman ,

Can you imagine being rewarded with sex?

GeoGio7 ,

You’ve mentioned this twice now but what do you mean?

bobman ,

I mean that Iranian culture continues to support this.

It’s not just the men, it’s the women too. Otherwise most babies would be born from rape, which isn’t the case.

The men beating girls to death get paid and spend that money to please their wives, who in turn reward them with sex.

It’s a pretty simple concept.

rockyrikoko ,

That was a weird journey

bobman ,

Nah. Just an unfortunate truth people would rather not acknowledge.

Do you disagree with anything I said?

angrystego ,

I don’t think sex is a reward for the man in most relationships. That’s not how it works. Marital relationships are much more complicated than that and very varied.

bobman ,

I mean, they’re doing what makes them look good in front of their women. Otherwise they wouldn’t be doing it.

You can say it’s for companionship or to look good in front of peers, but the end result in the same.

angrystego ,

Do you really think life is this simple? What I see is men do things that they were taught to do to funcion in a given society, things they need to do to survive, things they like doing just for themselves (a very good motivation) and occasionally also things to look good in front of women (not necessarilly theirs). I think in most marriages men display a mixture of behaviours the woman likes and dislikes (sometimes even hates). Despite doing things the woman hates, a man can still often have sex with her either because she also sees the good things, she wants sex and is willing to overlook the bad things or she has no power to choose otherwise… life is really complicated. If men did only things women liked, the world would be completely different.

bobman ,

I mean, at the end of the day the wives either approve of their husbands actions and reward them or don’t. To them, it’s better to be with a man who gets paid to kill little girls than one that doesn’t. That’s why they’re with them, lol.

Yeah, it really is that simple. Sorry you’re trying to overcomplicate things.

I think your ‘oversimplicity’ argument would hold more water against those saying it’s just the men of iran who are to blame.

angrystego ,

You seem to ignore the facto that some women just don’t get to choose.

bobman ,

Most of them do.

some_guy ,

Can you imagine your purpose in life being “the guy who makes sure people’s scarves are good enough”?

A more accurate interpretation: Can you imaginer your purpose in life being the guy who directly enforces oppression of women?

feck_it ,

They get off of the idea.

TerryMathews , to news in First US nuclear sub docks in South Korea since 1981

So first off, I don’t like the headline. All US subs are nuclear, but this feels like burying the story: parking an SSBN at South Korea is a very specific message. It carries 20 Trident II missiles, each capable of carry 8 475kt warheads (but likely only armed with 4 due to treaty limitations).

38 Megatons of independently targetable nuclear destruction.

That said, the story also talks about how this will drive KJU from the table - as if he was ever there in the first place. Given the state of their current activities, I don’t think reminding him that he’s fucking around with a country that worked out nuclear delivery via ICBM half a century ago is overly aggressive.

IMO, at some point, someone (and I’m not saying the US necessarily) is going to have to go in and depose the regime and integrate the population into modern society. North Korea is a bigger threat to world stability than Russia, and today that’s really saying something.

    Russia may threaten and posture the use of nuclear weapons, and have started a losing war with their neighbor, but it’s far less likely that they would actually use the weapons. Even if Putin ordered it there’s a lot of people between him and the weapons that could prevent the use. He’s a dictator but barely, he needs to keep the oligarchs happy to keep his office, and the oligarchs don’t want to live out the rest of their lives in cramped bunkers in Siberia when the earth is irradiated. DPRK on the other hand is an actual dictatorship, with few people between Kim and a launch, and is actually unstable enough to do it. Also, with their carelessness around their “test launches” they’re much more likely to cause an international incident by dropping a half-fueled rocket stage on Japan.

    TerryMathews ,

    At this point with Russia I’m more concerned with them causing an Ukrainian nuclear power plant to melt down.

    QuinceDaPence ,

    Didn't the plants all get safely shut down before the Russians got there? If so, they can't cause a meltdown unless they actually try to start the reactors.

    Not to say they can't cause something bad to happen, especially since they are storing munitions in there but it wouldn't be a meltdown. I would assume fuel material wouldn't get thrown as far/the core wouldn't be compromised but that would take someone more knowledgable than me on this.

    TerryMathews ,

    Didn’t the plants all get safely shut down before the Russians got there? If so, they can’t cause a meltdown unless they actually try to start the reactors.

    Are the shutdown? Yes. Safely? Definitely not. The type of reactor they are and the fuel they use, requires active cooling as it remains hot for years.

    Zaporizhzhia is the plant in question, and it’s water supply is in jeopardy after the destruction of the Kakhovka dam.

    With the plant not in active operation, it’s unlikely we’d see an incident on the level of Chernobyl but it’s far from safe.

    TerryMathews ,

    How would you feel if you were a South Korean? Knowing that your brothers to the North want to kill or conquer you simply because they’re not happy with the half of the continent they chose because, ultimately, the US was a better development partner than Russia and China?

    One could make the exact same argument against North Korea… Why is it that our ally should be sacrificed on the altar of global stability?

    That alone is pretty fucked up and should be dealt with.

    Lemmings_together_strong , to news in Typo sends millions of US military emails to Russian ally Mali

    Why the military doesn’t filter emails being sent to an unfriendly foreign nation is beyond me. My company would restrict my account if I began emailing a random .ml domain with attatchments.

    venusenvy47 , (edited )

    I’m assuming this doesn’t involve intra-military emails, because that would be trivial to prevent. It’s probably because of people sending from another domain. Like if [email protected] is sending an email to [email protected], but he mistypes the .mil part because he is using his iPhone while riding his motorcycle with a girl on the back.

    A more realistic example would be [email protected] sending an email to [email protected] to discuss some upcoming meeting about a new aircraft contract.
