Flight-tracking websites showed dozens of Air Force aerial refueling planes departing from military bases in the United States and heading to Europe on Sunday, fueling speculation of direct U.S. involvement in the widening Israeli-Iranian war.
Military-focused news sites reported that around 30 U.S. Air Force KC-135R and KC-46A tankers were identified by flight-tracking software in what The Times of Israelcalled an “unprecedented mass deployment” to Europe.
I’m not the one who made the “dick” comment…
You’re saying they should change their tone. 🤷♂️ Meh. Whatever you say.
Apologies, I didn’t realize that you weren’t the person that I originally responded to.
I’m not trying to convince them. I don’t give a fuck if they change their tone. I was only telling them why the post wasn’t well received.
Right, fair enough I guess. I just can’t see where exactly the dickishness lies. I don’t see a “tone” anywhere.
As a whole it sounds like a, “you’re wrong, educate yourself, there’s only one way out of this”. I did intentionally say “kinda like a dick”, because it wasn’t super harsh, just enough off putting.
The edits were the icing that put everyone else off.
I’ve reread the comment and its edit now numerous times to try and find the tone. To me, they just sound motivational, seriously. Like, “go look at the facts 👏🧠, don’t be defeatist! 💪 Letsfuckinggooo”. Maybe I have the completely wrong vibe. I don’t know.
Two sides to every coin.
