In recent weeks? In other words, manpower had already been augmented? So much for the lack of resources excuse. @KevinB I understand you have friends in the Service, people you respect and you err on their side. I am not trying to disparage them either. But the more I learn about this...

Famous sloped roof attached

I remembered him fatter than that, but as Kevin said, the other guy's helmet obstructs the view and kind of warped the image in my mind. Nonetheless, NVGs

At a glance, I'd guess that if Brihard is correct, then of those women who are more interested in things > individuals, have corresponding greater hand eye coordination, and that are less prone to negative emotions, then they are dispositioned to leverage their body's physical advantage. For...

I'm still laughing at the big fat guy with the NVGs

Or, like the sniper who was likely told not to engage, were told to come down. Which, to me sounds vastly more credible than "oh, hum I know we're supposed to protect the most viscerally hated person in the world, but I forgot my sandwich downstairs". Comically absurd. @Remius perhaps you were...

I disagree, it's a pattern you see across such events. Nothing outlandish about the fact that the US right wing is super pro-gun and occasionally sees armed supporters at its events.

No implication of intent in the word I used. You too have access to Google.

Yeah, but you don't "recourse" the individuals who facilitated the assassination of the former and future POTUS, saved only by pure luck or divine intervention if one is so inclined.

Where'd you see that? I think the Right is mostly just responding to the Left's victim blaming here. Anyways, here's Erik Prince on the matter: And here's another liberal thought leader on the matter:

First part of your comment doesn't square with the latter part. Either they're absolute professionals, or they let an assassin within a 150 yards of the former and future POTUS, on the closest and most obvious vantage point possible, and stared at him until he opened fire. Totally agree with...

Yawn. You're ridiculous. You're acting as if I said I'm happy the Houthis are attacking ships. And then you're pretending you see no difference between targeting shipping and mass murdering festival goers. When we all know you're smart enough to see the difference. In my mind that makes...

There's a difference between targeting shipping and targeting festivals. Russian industry is a valid target for Ukraine, why shouldn't US shipping be a valid target for the Houthis?

North Ontario is the exception to the rule haha Knew someone would mention it.

Not mad at the Houthis. They're doing what they can to advance their cause. At least they're not engaging in mass murder (in this context) (to my knowledge). If there are Houthi supporters in the West, however. Those people should be made to join them and never return.

What you highlight in your very last sentence weighs much more heavily, methinks, than your second-to-last. I'm sure Remius and friends are quite happy that PET pushed bilingualism so hard. Bilingualism as a policy is pretty useless both historically and to this day for Francos and Anglos in...

You mean parents can't just leave the upbringing of their kids to the government with a model of one size fits all? Nonsense!

It's mostly taken from my personal experience, but personal experience is made up of thousands of micro interactions. It's not necessarily that one stands out, it's patterns of behaviour that are replicated from student to student.

I had already written a wall of text, and I don't have the best memory so I didn't have too many on hand. But I did think about it, and will get back to you on that. And one last point that I forgot to mention, although it may have been implied, is that students themselves are somewhat...

Yes, I have experienced and seen it. In many ways. My experience is that most young people today are severely socially-disabled. Social media and COVID devastated their development as social animals. They're constantly fixated on their phones and wearing earpods, insulating themselves from real...
