Oh no! The harrier? Did they get the specs for the Avro Vulcan? What about the Spitfire?
“I’m a lethal threat to the women close to me” is surprisingly honest and open misogyny . You’d probably hit the front page of Reddit with this meme.
Your search has still only turned up a forgery.

I’m trying to imagine the user that both needs a text editor in the command line, yet is uncomfortable outside a gui.
I write scripts all day, but closing a program without clicking the little ‘x’ is scary and weird.
yesman@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Iran government moves to block major oil, gas route92·1 day agoWhat are you even talking about!? Nobody gives a shit if they bomb or kill people. Raising gas prices will bring more military consequences in a week than you’d get for a hundred years of genocide.
yesman@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Bill Clinton Endorses Andrew Cuomo for New York City Mayor301·1 day agoDemocrats pretend to be progressive the way Republicans pretend to be Christian. Just a virtue signal that can be jettisoned the instant it becomes inconvenient to power.
yesman@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you could add any new rule to a sport or game you enjoy, what rule and why?14·1 day agoAmerican Football: no time outs.
Play it just like soccer. Ref’s calls are final, and the clock doesn’t stop unless their is an injury.
It would make the game much more fun to watch, cut the runtime by two thirds, and force teams to hire athletes who can maintain vigorous activity for half an hour without dying.
Just let the students edit the course assignments before completing them. Everyone gets an A and teaching has never been easier.
Why has no one thought of this before?
yesman@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•These States Are Debating Castration for Sex Crimes. Experts Call It Cruel and Pointless.501·2 days agoSo imagine what that number looks like for all sexual assaults against women and girls.
No State government gives a tiny shit about women getting raped. It’s just a cudgel to punish poor men and maintain the illusion that law enforcement protects women in America.
yesman@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•A White Nationalist Wrote a Law School Paper Promoting Racist Views. It Won Him an Award.13·2 days agoThe scary thing is if you could get 5 SCOTUS judges who buy “the constitution is just for white people”, then it becomes true.
Well, you’d just need 3. Thomas and Alito are already on board no doubt.
This is not accurate, Rolls Royce got the contract to replace the engines on the B52.
yesman@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Microsoft is is bed with Google now, in a worse, more OS-integrated way than Mozilla was [in bed with Google]. This timeline sucks.English86·2 days agoThis isn’t cooperation, this is rivalry. The point is for you to use Edge instead of Chrome.
Just another skirmish in the war for what matters most: which tech-giant is the default choice.
This is a real thing. They’ve got a website, a facebook, and a youtube.
yesman@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•A simple experiment to demonstrate that Astrology does not work is to keep a detailed journal of events, and periodically check past horoscopes for accuracy.*17·2 days agoWhat’s the deal with people hating on astrology? DAE get the vibe that there’s more to this than “astrology doesn’t work”?
The thing is that even in the James Randy world of people taking advantage of the credulous, astrology is still a pretty small fish. The skeptic doth protest too much.
yesman@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Minnesota Shooter Wrote Letter Claiming Tim Walz Told Him to Kill Amy Klobuchar711·2 days agoSure, but if you think Walz was wrong to order an assassination, then aren’t you implying that killing a Democrat is wrong or bad in some way?
yesman@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Orthodoxal jews occasionally make something right182·2 days agoI love all the little ways observant Jews try to lawyer their way out of the inconvenience of their own religious observance.
For example, some elevators in NYC run continuously on Shabbat, stopping at every floor so nobody has to push any buttons.
I just love the contradiction of an all powerful, omniscient God that can be so easily tricked, delightful.
yesman@lemmy.worldto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•No one and no group is above factual, respectful criticismEnglish25·2 days agoWhat group are you referring to? Usually when I hear the “no body is above criticism” it’s a defense of bigotry.
People pretend that you can’t criticize Islam for example, even though you can’t mention that religion online without some brave truth-teller reminding us all that Mohamed was a pedo.
People say you can’t criticize Israel, but I’ve criticized them plenty with very little push-back. Maybe the accusations of antisemitism is chilling, but being called a name isn’t the same thing as “not being allowed”. (I also find that unfair accusations are not nearly as offensive as apt ones)
Maybe you just ironically want sacred status for people who criticize? Because receiving criticism seems to be the chief complaint for people making this argument.
yesman@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Iranian Palme d'Or winner Jafar Panahi calls for fall of Tehran regimeEnglish61·2 days agoJust look at how much better Afghanistan is after we toppled the Taliban.
No recoil, but you might feel a little sting.
