Countries aren’t too fond of assassinations on their own turf. Russia seems to do these things more than any other country (at least as reported in the news), but it’s still pretty rare.

Downvotes don’t appreciate the copypasta

By your home country sure. They’d have to extradite you for that to happen. Russia doesn’t have that many friends, so defectors may be able to get away with it as long as they never enter a Russian-friendly state ever again

There’s a difference between surrender and defection.

Soldiers who surrender are afforded protections and retain ties to their countries. After hostilities resolve or if a prisoner transfer is arranged, they return to their country and generally do not face punishment. At least according to Geneva conventions on lawful war. It’s rarely this simple and clean.

Soldiers who defect have few, if any, protections and are in a weird place with nationality. They are typically considered fugitives by their home countries and may or may not be able to travel internationally as they may also be stateless.

7 things to look for in a Bees partner. Number 3 will shock you!

That’s a pretty punk picture

I have not studied this but I heard it and it made sense, but you could also be right

eBay motors sold listings make me think they aren’t getting into a used Model S Plaid for less than around 55k. If they aren’t paying taxes or insurance, they aren’t paying down a loan for the car because the creditor would repossess that shit so fast.

I can’t believe what I’m reading in this thread.

You are judging half of the population on their physical makeup.

This makes me sick.

Fuck trying to be better than those who have come before us. Fuck trying to build a better future.

I hope our paths never cross.

I replied to your original comment with why I feel this viewpoint is flawed. Dangerous even.

I used an example as a counterpoint.

Your reply used a different example to argue against mine without actually addressing what I’m trying to say by countering your initial comment.

It’s just as shitty to type “why do whites fear blacks” in google.

If you want to give up on this issue that’s on you, but get off your high horse.

You didn’t originally state not trusting a single man with hosting a sleepover because you didn’t know them. You said intimately know.

This paranoia about being taken advantage of is insane. How do you function around strangers?

You’re moving the scenario to a sleepover with a boss who wants to sleep with you. Where did that come from? How are you getting to that from a divorced acquaintance who is the parent of one of your kids? That’s a completely different scenario. I thought you didn’t know this single dad?

What the hell?

That’s an awful take on life. Replace “men” who can overpower women with a race of people who have larger physiques than the average people or perhaps with those who hail from culture who has had a more violent past. We’re obviously just assuming things, so why not? A generic man can overpower a generic woman just as much as a generic Norwegian person can overpower a generic Korean person.

That’s saying that you can’t trust your kids to sleep over at the house of anybody who isn’t like you. I really hope that you guys aren’t pushing this world view on children.

That really sucks to hear. Without any context, it just sounds like the kid has to suffer the consequences of her parents split.

This is big “refuses to elaborate” energy.

I’m imagining a scenario where the driver gets one ticket and becomes irate. The police officer decides to issue another and the cycle continues until the driver shuts up.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Normal firearm registration is not required (or even possible?) in the majority of US states.

The very first paragraph describes how you can be deprived of your second amendment right to arms.

If you assert that you aren’t a US citizen, why would you give a flying fuck about the second amendment? It certainly wouldn’t apply to you.

Setting that child up for failure. An actual pull themselves up by the bootstraps situation for them to have a chance at deciding if they want to be a part of society or live the life their parents forced upon them.

You’re right. I was focused on this part above. I made like an AI and jumped the gun

These results come at a time when the US military has been testing such chatbots based on a type of AI called a large language model (LLM) to assist with military planning during simulated conflicts, enlisting the expertise of companies such as Palantir and Scale AI. Palantir declined to comment and Scale AI did not respond to requests for comment.

The writers of the article are reporting on use of these models by the military. They aren’t using the models. If I remember right they called out some models developed by one of the defense contractors like palantir
