Thanks for the info! I'm aware of JDAM from following the invasion of Ukraine, but I wasn't aware of the whole arming process.

Now, I may be underestimating my ignorance, but that doesn't look like JDAM to me. Seems a bit small. Also, the fact that the pilot suddenly looks toward the wing tells me that he was expecting it to shoot out in front, and only felt the mechanical release (or do they use small explosive bolts? I'm more versed in spaceflight so that's my only other guess 😅) and saw no visual confirmation that it fired.

Edit, just saw your edit! It's a gbu-12 I guess

I completely forgot about that scene!

I don't know who downvoted you, but you're absolutely right. The porn is an inevitable outcome, even if it makes some people uncomfy.

There's no way that Disney isn't aware of that, and I would bet they're leaning into it very slightly. There's a dance club scene for crying out loud lmao

Jokes aside, would this pose a threat other than the physical impact? I don't know many specifics about aircraft and their ordnance, but would this missile be armed just before launch, or once it clears a safe minimum distance, as with RPGs?

I felt like I was alone in being frustrated at this trend. However I found a bit of relief to discover, through messing around in a Win98 virtual machine, that they were occasionally using the term "app" back then as well. Of course it wasn't as ubiquitous as it is now, but whatever.

Also I thought I'd never see the Xbox kid meme again. What an unexpected throwback!

I agree with you both; it's the most logical explanation. See also: cultures that don't revere womens' breasts (likely) since they're never covered.

I'm more of a butt/thighs/hips guy, myself.

To the same point: for a second I was astonished that they even stopped walking for a second, before realizing that it was the video feed.

Absolutely unrepentant people.

Now they've got these cute lil guys fighting each other 😭

Well, better than letting them bring harm to humans. Slava Ukraini!

I'm sometimes prone to this happening, but once I started driving a manual transmission, it hasn't occurred even once. I'm forced to pay more attention, and it's even fun sometimes! Downshifting to pass someone is such a joy 😁

Divide the cheeks, not the people!

We need #EyesOnBreen right now

Hear hear. There's only one thing worse than giving these people the benefit of the doubt, and that's supporting them.
