TBI is a commonly seen initialism in US reporting that stands for “Traumatic Brain Injury”. Given the relative amount of education in Tennessee, and their backwards stance on every issue from women’s health to wearing mixed fabrics, identifying as the ‘TBI’ is er… rather unflattering.
The “Tennessee Bureau of Investigation” would probably inspire more confidence if their acronym wasnt TBI.
Rules for thee…
IDF upped the death count to 4 according to CNN.
My apologies, my initial comment was heavy-handed because I was writing with the apparent “lacks reading comprehension” demographic in mind, and I wanted to be sure they’d understand my scorn.
Now onto the “please just stop” portion of this: I think you’re lacking some critical background here. VOA, though obviously incredibly biased from charter to name to office carpet, has a great deal of journalistic integrity. You can be a propaganda outlet and have a commitment to truthful reporting. If you want an example of that look to NPR, another openly biased news outlet, albeit one with a liberal-leaning bias towards the internal American issues it reports on most of the time. Both are propaganda, both do very good work reporting on US news and interests. That you don’t know enough about VOA to be aware of this speaks to the notion that maybe your understanding of the subject is not nearly as comprehensive as you seem to think.
I imagine that, if you sat down and asked people “Is voice of america propaganda” you would get a whole bunch of people saying “is it? I didn’t realize!”. People are dumb about applying specific definitions, and propaganda is largely viewed as the stuff that comes out of leaflet bombs, or that gets played on loudspeakers in dingy german factories that Captain America is about to blow up. But, if you asked “Is VOA Biased” 97% of people will say “well yeah, duh, its called ‘Voice of America’”.
I truly do not believe your premise that there’s huge swathes of people unaware that “Voice of America” is biased towards American interests. People are dumb, but they aren’t so dumb as to be unable to read the damn name.
A successful attempt, too. There’s videos of multiple missiles making it through, though fortunately they seem mostly to have landed in large outdoor spaces.
I don’t know if we know if the missiles were proper guided missiles, or just dumb MLRS-style unguided rockets. I’d imagine it’s both, but that’s the important factor in if Iran was just flexing their capability while minimizing damage, or if this was a serious attack.
Wow you sure saw through our clever deception. What tipped you off, was it when we slipped up and called it “Voice Of America”? I knew people were gonna catch that…
That… this doesn’t change anything, because he vetoed it, so it’s not a requirement for anyone?
You’re really not very good at this, are you.
Honks Clownishly. Lmfao tho, you’re the one that said “one bullet one dead” is the goal, which is so out of touch with doctrine it’s frankly hilarious. Just give up, man. Everyone can see how little you know about the topic and the only person you’re fooling by attempting to cast this as having been trolling from the start is possibly yourself. Though I suspect even you are aware of how desperate you sound.
Oooo, trying to spin this so you don’t take a hit in the ol’ ego? Good luck with that. Though there is something delecious about someone who clearly doesn’t have a clue what they’re talking about being this confident while being so very, very wrong. Its like some kind of delightful tonic for the soul…
The point of full auto is to improve hit probability, not increase lethality. There absolutely is a multiround bonus, and 3rnd burst has been used by every major military for this exact reason.
What’d you really intend with your initial comment, though. I’m not even trying to be a dick here, I just took a poke around your comment history and it seems like we’d get along fine, so I’m really curious why you came out swinging here.
Are you really offended that I made a crude joke? Is this an extremely understandable expression of exasperation at the state of discourse in our political sphere? Perhaps you were just in a foul mood and, since your comment didn’t get the traction you expected, you’re now reflexively defending yourself using the classic strategy of posting a gif to try and both limit my possible responses and to indicate the opinion you hold of your own position of superiority in this conversation by considering me unworthy of a response you reserve for those you consider ‘mature’ adults?
Sincerely, this seems out of character for you. I was being flippant, but like, do you actually need a hug? I can’t do more than type <hug> but man, I fucking know how hard this political cycle has been on me and my own mental health, so if you even just want to vent I’m incredibly sympathetic and here for it. Shit starts feeling hopeless, even with some positive reporting on the Harris campaign’s polling.
It’s actually really obnoxious to do and I highly recommend looking up a couple vids before attempting it - getting that stupid seating ring in the right orientation is as I said, incredibly obnoxious, and my big dumb meat hands can barely fit in the space to manipulate the bulbs. Oh and you have to pull the battery out to get at the driver side running lights. Good cars but there’s some really stupid design elements.
You okay there? Need a hug or something?
Its incredibly depressing how popular “Creative Writing: The Subreddit” has become.
Nutty palestinian children. With Nougat. And hummus.
A reasonable policy. Would that more people were of the same inclination, then maybe there would be less cause to use “TBI” with such frequency in sports reporting
