nostalgia is also a bit of a filter, we only remember the good stuff from the 90s,

there were plenty of shitty slop we collectively forgot about.

my kids love them.

not a bad show, miss even kid aimed media had stakes, creativity and didn't assume the kids watching were idiots.

that horror episode was intense and my 6 years old didn't even flinch watching, she earned a lot of street creed from hey 9 year old sister who picks on her but had to run away from the episode.

maybe I'm cynical, but he always gave me the wrong vibes.

like I'm waiting for the revelation that he did something terrible.

I get the same vibes from blippy, I hated when my ex let my kids watch it in unlimited autoplay.

saying that genocide is a Jewish value is the most antisemitic thing in this whole ordeal.

war is profitable, winning is irrelevant, soldiers lost are replaceable.

checked a wiki page about that.

it's frankly embarrassing how much the US military actually sucks.

likely human history most expensive military, and a complete waste of resources

in a way, the "mission accomplished" was true

Ukraine showed that modern warfare is a different game than it used to.

it's s resource war, cheap drones can cause lots of damage, and it is far more costly to fight them. long range rockets, v defense systems...

and given that US have painfully expensive toys, they won't be able to hold of again a cheap enemy.

yhea, Maybe the F22 can outmanoeuvre another airplane in a dogfight, but who tf needs a dogfight? the enemy can just launch a volley of self guided missiles that costs 100x to intercept.

The US is great at spending money in the military, but it absolutely sucks at actual war.

Look how they wasted trillions in Afghanistan to surrender to the Taliban.

the US military exists solely to funnel tax payer money to military shareholders.
