I have very little knowledge about military stuff. Can someone please explain to me why the US can’t just bomb all Shahed construction facilities to rubble? Is it

• because they don’t know all the locations where drones are being produced
• because the facilities are somehow too well defended (underground or something?)
• because Shaheds can be built in random locations, like someone’s garage
• because Iran’s air defense is capable of intercepting such strikes
• because of some other reason?

I’m sure I have a bunch, but for the fediverse I think the most controversial is that I think neopronouns are a bad idea. DISCLAIMER I support queer folks, and I also use neopronouns when requested (because there’s zero reason to be a dick about it), but I think everybody would be better off without them.

The entire purpose of pronouns is to offer a quick, generic (i. e. non-individual) way of referring to people or objects without using their names. Using neopronouns which have to be communicated and learned first is the opposite of that. So in my view they’re not really pronouns, just additional names one has to learn for a person.

I think the most sensible way of accommodating all genders is using whatever pronouns are present in the language (usually male and female, or a generic pronoun), plus a non-binary pronoun if needed, like singular they in English.

Dunno about that, but the DoW is alive and well, fulfilling its purpose.
