An F-35 got hit by an Iranian missile yesterday. A TWO TRILLION DOLLAR project to create a jet that should supposedly be unassailable, got fucking clapped. Iran said it was shot down, US sources claimed it was severely damaged and had to do an emergency landing.

The US has no universal health care, crumbling infrastructure, a society in decline, and all for what? To just hand a bunch of cash to the ruling class through defense contracts, that's what for.

"severely damaged and had to do an emergency landing"

Yeah, that's being shot down mate πŸ˜‚

[–] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

To be absolutely fair: "Shot down" usually means the pilot was either killed, or had to bail, and that the jet crashed uncontrollably into the ground and was completely destroyed. It's pretty common to differentiate between "shot down" and "hit, but was able to land".

If the USA would but 20% of the money in drones and the rest in health care the army would be exactly as effective and the people would be mucht healtier.

s/USA/Trump

Many of us are stuck here, voted against any of this, and also don't want to die at the hands of stupid people. It'll have to get worse first which sucks but it's true.

[–] xav@programming.dev 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm so tired of this bullshit. You collectively voted for him. Trump is the USA as far as I'm concerned. The imperialist politics didn't start with Trump and won't stop with him. He's just a lot less subtle.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Trump is a symptom of a broken system.

He's a really bad symptom, like a gnarly herpes outbreak, but the cause is deeply rooted within.

That's a regular expression, the s stands for "substitute", i.e. replace. Common way to edit text on Unix/Linux using command line text editors such as sed.

[–] three@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

Linux nerds are the vegans of technology.

[–] VibeSurgeon@piefed.social 16 points 3 days ago

It means "replace 'USA' with 'Trump'"

[–] Trex202@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

They have the biggest army in the world. Why do they need help from others? Why can't they help themselves?

[–] West_of_West@piefed.social 13 points 3 days ago

Because actually "protecting" Strait of Hormuz will get US ships sunk and people killed. Better it be "allies".

[–] Photonic@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

β€œHelp themselves”? Nah they need a couch to get off

[–] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I still don't know how to articulate the feeling I get seeing my country in decline but also seeing the world rearrange itself in a way that is probably healthier long-term as it happens. The Germans don't have some long frankenword for simultaneous relief and deep unease at the same time, do they?

[–] TecCheck@feddit.org 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

As a German, I approve of your thought. However, I don't know of any such word. Very unfortunate...

"Urolettelse" is probably what you would get in Norwegian, the German equivalent would probably be very similar. It's not an established word, but people would probably understand your vibe if you used it.
