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?

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

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

Or the department of Foreign Acquisition Gathering Systems.

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 343d

they should just call it the department of offensive materials.

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.

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

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

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

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

That’s why it’s spelled Froot.

syreus@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 344d

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.

Dumbest administration, ever.

cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 344d

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

Hond@piefed.social · 2 pts · 344d

Obviously these are honeypots.
