Thunder is the only one I’ve used so far. No complaints at all, I just wish I could, instead of building a large list of subbed communities, just filter out certain communites from my feed. Maybe it’s coming, maybe we already can 🤷‍♂️

I’m a US army infantry, I don’t have a great overall picture of geopolitics, but I’m generally a pretty anti-war kind of guy. My personal take is that while we’ve mixed ourselves up in a lot of deplorable wars, we also get utilized a LOT to prevent large threats from brewing in the first place. I just spent the last year on a NATO peacekeeping mission, and my job was 100% “be visible so Russian backed actors can’t operate openly”

So no, we haven’t fought wars that directly expelled hostile armies from our territory. But we do project a strong presence in dark corners that further the goals of stability for the US and Western Europe. By the way, NATO is mostly the US armed forces, other countries supply token, under equipped forces. That’s changing recently due to Russia’s aggression, but most of Western Europe was completely dependent on US NATO forces to maintain peace.

I was just thinking about my 16 hour flight back to CONUS from a deployment a few weeks back. We flew in uniform, uncomfortable as fuck, all I did was put one headphone in and listen to an audiobook while staring at the in-flight map. Even after a few weeks back in the states I don’t think I could do that again, but I was still riding the deployment mindset of “sit and stare at the wall til I have to do something”

An android Lemmy app, still trying it out to see if it’s “the one” for me

*claw, shit. Anybody know how to edit comments on thunder?

The grabbing close coming in for the attack

I’m on thunder for Lemmy, I see this! Super cool 😎

It depends how you define reality working consistently. Dark matter was first theorized by observing how galaxies and star clusters etc don’t seem to have enough mass to produce the gravitational footprint that holds them together. So dark matter was theorized to account for it. Invisible, intangible matter that only interacts with “normal” matter through gravity. Kinda strange 🤔
