"biological male" is if anything bad description of reality. A trans woman who has been on hormone therapy for a couple of years is biologically closer to cisgender women than cisgender men. And even more so if they've had surgeries. But usually people who use that term don't care and lump everyone who was assigned male at birth into that category.

I could attribute this term to ignorance because it sounds reasonable, but it's far too often used to exclude trans women from spaces that other women belong

Yo. I don't blame you. Border crossings are twice as hazardous and the US Government is hostile to foreigners. If I weren't American, I would think that too. As is, I kinda want to flee to Scotland

My unit was probably a 70-30 split favoring liberals, but it probably varies. My unit was on the more techy, college educated side. Different jobs attract different people

The maine Governor is pretty based. She's currently in defiance against Trump's executive orders targeting civil rights for some citizens and is fighting them in court

These planes aren't used often. They're strategic bombers and the most expensive of America's bombers too. Both in per flight hour cost and absolute cost

The B2 spirit is primarily made for the nuclear deterrence and warfare role. They are designed to penetrate air defense systems by being stealthy, A concept that was proved by the f-117 Nighthawk.

But since they have a heavy payload they're also used to drop conventional bombs occasionally. When you have to service a large amount of targets or use really big bombs, A strategic bomber is the go-to solution. They used B2 in this case for what my guess is these reasons

  • stealthy means they can get past radar systems and they can shrink any warning time
  • The B2 is the only plane rated to carry the gbu-57 bunker busting bomb. The facilities they were trying to destroy were fortified, so most other bombs wouldn't work.

They're being ordered to do these things? No National guardsman wants to do domestic stuff. It's not like this is a disaster relief operation. They're being used as pawns in domestic politics. Something that they are trained to stay out of.

Honestly wearing a black wedding dress would be fucking awesome. I'm having a lesbian wedding anyway, so I could add some spice.

I thought that the Russians liked genocide. They have been pursuing policies of russification for centuries

The pictures literally date back to then. That's so much denial.

Digging through a meme that I probably found in 2014. I guess I kept it around for a reason Some people aren't really that smart, but they more than make up for it in heart

 

Apoligy for bad English

Where were you when USAID was kil

I was at home eating nacho

I hear my friend

"USAID is kil"

"no"

 

I gotta post something, so I'll post the mechanical calculator that the flight school wanted me to get. How it works is that you can set ratios in the dial and multiply them. In this picture, it's 60:10 (or 60:1.0) so I can take any number from the inner circle in minutes and find out how many hours that is equal to on the outer circle.

There are also other things on this calculator, including a wind vector calculator, and charts. Most pilots don't use these anymore, but they still wanted me to know how to use one
