  • He’s got Linguini, a scrawny little 20s-something waiter. Stuart has a 15-year-old Jonathan Lipnicki who could definitely 1v1 Linguini plus two late-30s parents (even if Remy pilots him and even if the chef’s hat is off for max visibility, since 1) the family will know how this works and can try to get Remy out of the hair, and 2) there’ll be at least some latency in controlling him since it takes time to move the hair). Plus Stuart has no need to pilot the family and can therefore be off doing his own thing fucking around in his airplane (which he could use to shave Linguini’s hair if he gets a good shot in; we’ve seen it literally shred a falcon). So unless Remy is actively trying to kill Stuart, using a kitchen knife against his family with Linguini, he’s not going to get the upper hand. Remy has his family? Okay, have Snowbell get like a dozen cat friends and tell them it’s all you can eat.

    Okay, fuck this slander. Stuart’s a little bitch, but he’s a clever little bitch. That mf can fly a plane, drive a car, and man a sailboat. If he just met Remy in a dark alley, Remy would probably win, but with planning on his side (especially coordinating with the humans to get him what he needs), I’m betting on Stuart. Stuart defeated a fucking falcon who was trying to kill him. Not just defeated: straight-up murdered him. Also, Stuart is an actual accepted member of society with citizenship etc. and can actually speak, whereas Remy needs to rely on other means to communicate, and like three people understand he’s sapient and human-like. If this isn’t a fair fight, he could easily have the humans do his dirty work for him because to them, Remy is just a vermin. He could even just sic Snowbell on him. It took the entire colony of rats to take down – by surprise – one scrawny health inspector, so don’t give me that “Remy has backup too”. In fact, Stewart could probably just make himself a tiny gun.

    TL;DR: Remy wins if it’s by surprise. Stewart probably wins with prep time if it’s one-on-one. Stewart destroys Remy if they can call for backup.



  • Drag, calling @BlitzoTheOisSilent@lemmy.world a “Nazi” like this isn’t justified and isn’t the level of civility we expect in this community. Absent other factors like bigotry and disinformation, I try to maintain uncivil comments so there’s an understandable continuity in the comments and so people aren’t afraid to fully express themselves on the sorts of controversial issues discussed. It’s more than understandable to be angry at anyone who enabled this impending disaster to happen. What’s not is that Blitzo (the ‘O’ is silent) thoroughly debunked every misconception Drag had about them, and then Drag never apologized, especially after realizing they’re likely going through a similar level of trauma over the election that Drag is.







  • Take a look at the content of the article. It’s very, very obviously pro-Assad propaganda, which is pretty consistent with modern tankies. They extensively quote Russian and Iranian propaganda (and even paraphrase it instead of distancing themselves by quoting it). Such as:

    • “Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said [the attack] is a plot orchestrated by the US and the Zionist regime following Israel’s defeat in Lebanon and Palestine”
    • “after Israel endured considerable losses in its operations in Lebanon and Gaza” (lmfao what?? What the fuck is this “the enemy is simultaneously strong and weak” fascist bullshit? Israel is literally committing genocide in and steamrolling Palestine.)
    • Placing blame on Ukraine where possible by citing distinctly pro-Assad Lebanese news channel Al Mayadeen.
    • “The resurgence of terrorist groups in Syria is seen by many [nice use of weasel words] as a US-Israeli plot”
    • “Russia suggests that US-led western powers are backing these groups to spread chaos in the region.”

    Etc. This article is a piece of tankie shit. To be absolutely clear, the Al-Qaeda-offshoot rebels aren’t the “good guys”. There’s no “good guys” here, but this article does its damndest to make it seem like 1) there are “good guys”, 2) it’s clear there are “good guys”, and 3) those “good guys” are Russia and Syria’s despotic regime.

    Edit: I almost forgot: “after engaging in fierce clashes with the official Syrian Armed Forces and allied forces since Wednesday” pretending the SAA actually put up a reasonable fight and didn’t just get their asses routed out of Aleppo. Hahahaha



  • “No, no, you see, when I said “anyone’s”, I meant the physical edition of national papers and also my local one. State’s biggest newspaper and a shitload of local stations published it? Doesn’t count. Needs to be outside the state. Augusta Free Press? Too small. NBC? Not a physical paper. This is totally what I meant when I said ‘any US-based source promoting this story’. Checkmate, libshits!”

    .ml is a plague of intellectual dishonesty.

    Edit: of fucking course they’re pro-Assad, lmfao. “A dictatorship indiscriminately attacking civilian areas with sarin gas and then trying to cover it up I can handle, but clearly there’s a cover-up (that I don’t approve of) afoot when not more than one massive national news outlet puts a spotlight on bad conditions in this prison.”




  • That’s assuming the valve is open all the way and that there’s a bunch of water pressure behind the spigot. It should be entirely possible to create a very slow trickle by having a massive body of water behind the spigot (making it functionally infinite) but having only a small part of the entrance beneath the surface.
