Dumbest administration, ever.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 hours ago

why the fuck would the intercept report on this and alert the government to it so they can fix it?

[–] natecox@programming.dev 224 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Well duh; it’s the department of war not the department of defense.

(Hopefully obvious /s)

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 5 hours ago

they should just call it the department of offensive materials.

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 12 hours ago

The truly sad part is that it's still the Department of Defense, only Congress can change that. They're giving it a second name to puff themselves up, or is it to win the Nobel Peace prize when they eventually drop the new name?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

If we're going to change the name, it should be the department of the military/armed forces.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 0 points 6 hours ago

Or the department of Foreign Acquisition Gathering Systems.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Oh fuck, I hadn't heard about the fucking gibbering idiot dropping yet another mask and saying all the quiet parts out loud.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 5 hours ago

hes defending himself from all the epstein stuff.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 49 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The plan must be to flood our adversaries with vulnerable services so all their manpower is tied up in attacks on low-impact systems.

...and so they stand by and laugh about some stupid details while their democracy is teared down and cruel dictatory is built up right there before their eyes.

[–] notarobot@lemmy.zip 2 points 19 hours ago

I don't think it's like that. I think if they have nothing to laugh at, they would all kill themselves which would also not help

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

cruel dictatory is built up right there before their eyes.

Technically incorrect; they're part of it, so they're on stage.

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

I'm afraid they don't believe that either.

[–] mriswith@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

Doesn't defend!? They're straight up just posting the stream keys..

[–] Bonus@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So, getting rid of the Defense moniker is truth-in-advertising like how you can't call em fruit loops if there ain't any fruit in em?

[–] trailee@sh.itjust.works 16 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

That’s why it’s spelled Froot.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 5 hours ago

because its made of froot.

[–] syreus@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

It's spelled that way because Fruit Loops was too generic to trademark. There is a story about froot loops changing its name due to a lawsuit but that was proven apocryphal. There are other brands with this being a real issue that happened.

In 2020 there was an Australian lawsuit with hopes to force Kellogg to change the name because Froot Loops had over the years become a slur for disabled people. It's failed.

Obviously these are honeypots.
