The nearly indigent "free lunch fiend" was a recognized social type. An 1872 New York Times story about "loafers and free-lunch men" who "toil not, neither do they spin, yet they 'get along'", visiting saloons, trying to bum drinks from strangers: "Should this inexplicable lunch-fiend not happen to be called to drink, he devours whatever he can, and, while the bartender is occupied, tries to escape unnoticed.

  • You are of course correct on every point, I just meant the munitions themselves are cheaply priced. This is a large change from before when they were using hundred thousand dollar missiles on drones.

  • Would be surprised if we make it out of Trump's presidency without a proxy war in East Asia (we'll goad South Korea, Japan and Taiwan into doing something stupid and then fumble it)

  • Unfortunately the US does have pretty cheap answers to drones in the form of their retrofitted laser guided system on the small rockets that Marmite always talks about. If they use jets to hunt drones, the prices actually are fairly competitive.

    One solution to this is to make hunting drones more dangerous for the jets. Have a mix of anti-air drones in the drone fleets. Take down a jet every one in five hundred drones and now you're out attritioning them again. Another solution is just spam shitloads of decoy drones with no payload, which is what Russia tends to do.

  • With the "defense mosaic" method of decentralized command that IRGC is rolling with, we will unfortunately see more false positives as regional forces make errors and their announcements aren't as vetted and "official" as a centralized structure. Basically impossible to fact check everything if it's coming from 100 different cells individually.

  • These drones (if they aren't mock-up targets) cost $10,000 USD each

    That missile easily cost tenfold that just by itself, not even factoring in the jet or pilot hours required to get it there

  • You failing to understand descriptionism doesn’t make it wrong, it just makes you an insular and small minded idealist that can’t see outside your self-prescribed bubble

  • You are just completely mistaken that the text overrides practiced actual belief. It doesn’t. It’s the other way around. Your entire understanding of this discussion is wrong in the way that a prescriptionist is wrong when discussing grammar. I’m a descriptionist, a materialist. You are making prescriptionist, idealist arguments about what God meant in his sacred texts which is completely irrelevant.

    You sit here saying “BUT THE DICTIONARY SAYS THE DEFINITION IS X AND GRAMMAR WORKS LIKE THIS” after I show you how in the real world, people don’t use it like how it is in the Oxford dictionary. Language, like religion, justifies itself. It is always correct on its own terms. If it communicates an idea, then it is correct. If millions of people use it and understand it some way, that is correct. You are trying to nitpick and be the grammar police and say “no you are using the word wrong! Here’s the definition!” in complete futility as actual practiced language and religion evolves around you.

  • Yes you said "either to small, or too big".

    OK, amend it to say what I intended then. Spiritual belief outside of organized religion is either too small that it becomes simple ego, or too big that it becomes the imagined world spirit. The key thing is that this "big" vague god is the imagined will of the entirety of humanity by a single person, not an actual thing as such. It's still the projection of the individual ego. Without dialectical relations with other people, beliefs can only be solipsistic and insular.

    No every God is vague. There are degrees of vagueness. Like a slight fog, where you can still see some distance.

    I think you are mistaking mystification for vagueness. Mystification is a purposeful obfuscation. There is a clear explicit idea, which is blocked off to keep the aura of mystery. It's still an explicitly defined being with boundaries and identity.

    Yes, in an advanced society, but your argument was about personal, individual believe outside society. With this addendum, your argument just became circular.

    In any society. A god without a living religion is not a god.

    Individual, personal beliefs are not religious. They are merely the ego which has synthesized cultural symbols and values. They don't become religious until they begin organizing with other people and sharing a collective understanding of the will of god, their collective ego.
