Cadet Bone Spurs wants "suckers" and "losers" to worship him
slate.com/news-and-politics/20โฆ
[Cadet Bone Spurs] has a long and well-documented history of contempt for military service. Thereโs audio of him congratulating a man for faking a disability, as Trump did, to escape the Vietnam draft. Thereโs video of him challenging the heroism of being a POW in 1999, as well as in 2015. Videos, transcripts, witness testimony, and his own tweets show him ridiculing American generals in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2020. His own family members say he criticized his brother for going into the military and threatened to disown his son if he enlisted.

๐ Bachelor's thesis survey! Please boost! ๐
As many of you already know, I'm a cognitive science student currently working on my bachelor's thesis about the relationship between internet users' identities and their online personas.
Specifically, I want to see how that relationship might be different for cis and trans individuals, as well as for entities with non-human identities.
I prepared a short survey to collect the data I'll need for the thesis and I would greatly appreciate it if you take the time to answer it and share it around, both on fedi and elsewhere! It is meant for individuals of all gender identities and ages and shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to complete.
Thank you for your time ๐

in reply to Aure Free Press • • •That looks odd. There is no good reference, but that sheet metal is around 5 mm thick and that makes no sense for building drone enclosures. That thing is probably too heavy for a single man to lift and it can probably support the weight of an elephant. If you wanted to transport drones, you could use plywood or thin sheet metal to make the compartments.
But, if I had to transport something like gas cylinders, I'd build something like this.
