A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

You’d think after the third time his reputation would carry. Guess not though, lol

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 35 points 2 months ago

You think anyone checks references?

They looked just close enough to go "He's got the experience" and moved on.

[–] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah they should have just checked his LinkedIn page

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s right here on the guy’s Wikipedia page, you’d think they’d at least Google him

[–] Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are.... Are you joking?

Google wasn't around back then.

They would have had to use something like infoseek or aliweb

SMH my head, people just don't know their history

It's not like the web was around back then either ya doofus, what year do you think we're talking about here?

Back in those times the would have been at best using something like Veronica, or just trawling Usenet asking if people know him
