A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

Of the many reasons you could be spending a big chunk of the rest of your life in federal prison, impressing NEETs on discord is one of the stupider ones. I hope he spends many years considering his decisions.

I also hope that a Republican doesn’t win the election next year, because whoever it would be, he’ll totally grant a pardon for dumb and completely political reasons. I wish the US had at least two functioning parties run by adults, rather than the 0.5 we have now.

One corporation, under greed, with liberty and justice for none

I just asked GPT4 to write a modern late-stage capitalist version of the pledge:

I pledge allegiance to the Free Market of the United States of America, and to the Corporations for which it stands, one Nation under Profit, indivisible, with liberty and justice for shareholders.

I could 100% hear this being in the background of some midwestern emo song rofl

Jesus that's brutal but it works...

This idiot is going to live in infamy in a million fucking PowerPoint slides about the power of stupidity in the forces, and the need for "see something say something."

The reality is that a lot of places have lax security because "everyone knows each other" and because nobody wants to be the difficult one. Hopefully this finally changes some of that toxic bullshit.

I mean, he was a fucking Air Force reservist. And why is nobody logging access and/or doing log analysis to look for weird access patterns? Or if they are doing that, how come nobody noticed a fucking reservist repeatedly accessing information that had nothing to do with his job?

Also, this is his bedroom. Like holy shit, the flags were unbelievably red.

It seems within the realm of possibility that counterintel knew he was leaking and fed him him info they wanted to be "leaked" prior to charging him.

Wait I'm OOTL, what happened?

[–] Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Military couldn’t figure out how top secret info kept getting leaked. This was info regarding troop positions, equipment specs, etc… They were thinking that it was some top-level member of the military who was leaking all of these, because nobody else had enough access to be able to see all the different things that were being leaked.

Turns out, it was some dude in IT who had admin rights. He was playing games while on voice chat on Discord, and was getting roasted. He basically told them “y’all don’t even know how important I am. I have Top Secret clearance and could smoke any of y’all if I wanted to.” Naturally, they responded with “lol prove it loser.”

So he did. He started posting Top Secret documents in the discord. And someone else on that Discord started sharing them elsewhere, until it eventually made its way all the way to foreign intelligence organizations.

At least Snowden could argue that he was releasing the coxs for ideological/moral reasons. That the public had a right to know about the spying.

This was just a loser trying to gain online clout.

Remember wiki leaks? Men in black taking government computers and wiping the hard drive because they contained widely known and publicly available information. And all because private Pile clicked on a news link. This guy's fucked

[–] Gellis12@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I feel like the War Thunder forums should be part of this conversation

[–] Wit@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Even weirder is how some people(looking at you NCD) just focused on "haha dumb discord leaker" while conveniently ignoring the actual contents of the leaks.
