Your welcome. A simple way to think about is a truck makes a few hundred horsepower but literally has the aerodynamics of a brick. Where a 747 needs hundreds of thousands of pounds of thrust, but that fucker can fly.
You think I care about some little masturbatory gotcha play, but no - innocent people are suffering and these fucks are trying to keep them from basic necessities like food, water, and medical supplies that have pointedly and explicitly destroyed by Israel - fuck em, take em out.
Apples =/= oranges, no matter how hard you try to run circles around it.
You’re using a tragic situation your own little masturbatory gotcha play on right wing on what right wing people say about your protests. Interesting how you thought that was ok, isn’t it? 🤔 🤔 🤔
I remember reading a comment a while ago (on Reddit, ironically) which pointed out that SFW subreddits naming themselves [subject]porn are borrowing the wrong part from the word “pornography”. “Porn” is from greek pornē meaning “prostitute”, but the suffix -graphy means “to write” and is often used to indicate “the study of” the thing it’s attached to (e.g. geography, cryptography, demography, etc.)
It would be more accurate, and perhaps less controversial, if these communities named themselves earthography, spaceography, unixograpy, etc. As an added bonus, the -grapy suffix is also prominent in “photography” which is appropriate considering that many of these communities are places where people share photos of the subject matter.
I think you’re missing the point of the -porn suffix. Its not supposed to convey “the study of” or “images of”. Its meant to convey that viewing it is satisfying in some primitive/emotional/aesthetic way. NaturePorn isn’t just “pictures of nature”, it’s “pictures of nature that suck me in and make me want to see more”. In that regard, the comparison to sex is intentional.
The US continues to push the bounds of what could be considered a destroyer. The Arleigh Burkes are already heavier than Atlanta class light cruisers and then this thing comes along with the extra chonk!
I think automation is gonna clean a lot of this right up.
we’ll be left with drones, and drone carriers. maybe a few humies on the drone carriers to do whatever can’t be outright automated on at sea. and there’s really no good reason to be a surface ship if all you’re schlepping is drones.
