  • Yeah, I think between the performances of England, Finland, and Norway, security in the North Atlantic is best if the US stays away from Greenland.

    Edit: I’m also reminded of a story my New Zealand fri nd told me when he had just joined the Australian Airforce as a foot soldier for base defence.

    In preparations for Afghanistan, the US would train in Australia with them. He took out an entire group of marines because “You could hear them a mile away”. So there he is only a few months in the forces, walking up to a group of marines to tell them they’re all dead, they called in an airstrike a few hundred metres out.

    Uh… Take away the ironic “men’s rights” part and you are your dad. Unless you’re actively ensuring your feeds are not algorithm content and the parts of the internet you’re hanging out in aren’t socially reinforcing…

    Otherwise, we call these “echo chambers”. And funny enough is that those in them create the most “me vs them” content, all the while constantly reassuring “the audienice” that they’re not in one.

    But, yeah. I’m sure I’m wrong and helping your dad to navigate through the ongoing onslaught of media is something you’ve tried.

    Edit: GOD DAMN I’m so self- righteous and sassy tonight. Ignore the sass. Get the vibe. A apologise for the sass, but I won’t delete because the vibe.

    Point is, you and your dad have two opposing feeds. Recognise that they are feeds and move on from that.
