  • I wasn't expecting the FCC to actually get mouthy after years of being used to that fuckwit Ajit Pai. Do we expect them to actually have teeth now, though?

  • I've got this special interest with regard to the amazingly-wide gulf between the perception of how effective the Amerikan military is, and how incompetent they actually are. tl;dr, practically all of our wargame simulations are heavily scripted-- when they don't script how OPFOR "is supposed to act"(direct quote from one of the overseers of MC'02), OPFORs rungs lower on the tech ladder absolutely TPK our shit with low-tech methods. Millennium Challenge '02 is a prime example of the kind of fuckery the Joint Chiefs get up to fudging how effective our troops are.

  • They waved their wands of dryness and directly caused the droughts.

    Oh, I always thought it was forbidden Colonizer magic that did it, I didn't know it was just wands of dryness :o

  • Isn't it funny how yankees will accuse anyone they've got an existential enmity with of "causing" a "genocidal" drought like these OPFOR are like-- mystical 9th level shamans that can just point at the land and say "wither"? While we're on the subject, if the droughts of Mao's time were a genocide, then shouldn't you really ought to consider the Dust Bowl one too?

  • Do not give me the ability to start slam-storing or fist-parrying my way through Faerun

  • Sentient dolphins and squidkids probably

  • I ache for a return to the days when laborers kicked in the doors of their bosses over shit like this.

  • Nah, they just don't care. They know they'll never be in that kind of bind. They know they'll never have to live that. So since they don't have to, they will literally never care. As far as I'm concerned, the settler-colonial descendants have to learn tragedy and calamity like what they've inflicted before it can be trusted they have a lick of empathy in the corses they call hearts.

  • I expect the genocidal swine to invade. The upside is that the adventurism in Nazi Europe has whittled down NATO's stock, and while this is basically an in for the military-industrial complex to really start cranking out replacements to line their pockets, I don't have faith in the speed of logistics to deliver these arms in time for France to do an imperialism.

  • Not one lick. I knew as soon as Adams started playing that whole 'tough on crime' angle, that he'd Tom out for the Fraternal Orders. This is what happens when you tapdance for the settlers. More 'criminals', more recidivism, no rehabilitation. Adams has the blood of his own people on his hands; and I for one hope it tortures him at night when he lays his head down and tries to sleep.

  • "Rules-based order" moment lmfao. And no, that is not a compliment.

  • And of course... It's a mayonnaisian.

  • I dont see putin authorizing killing two commercial pilots when he could have just shot who he wanted or easily imprisoned them for treason ect.

    I especially don't see him doing it now, on the cusp of reinvigorated action in the Sahel region. Wagner humiliated France; and to me, it makes the most logical sense that the State Department would want to decapitate that dragon before the same could happen to them-- which all things considered, it still could if the next few links in the chain of command under Prigozhin are still intact, and move on the same accord that he would've.

  • Well, it's not air. Let's just say, when his coroner goes and flushes him out to size him for a casket? That hobgoblin will have miraculously lost about five feet of height.
