Agreed. It's disgusting. Am a relapsed nicotine addict, I still walk all the way to the park before sparking up and feel disgusting for it.

the reason I'm a relapsed: people don't realize what it was like when everyone everywhere smoked all the time. I grew up in a family - sisters, dad, mom, grandparents, who smoked constantly. road trips? windows up baby. every meal, before and after? flavor town.

I remember teachers asking me if I smoked because my clothes would reek of their bullshit. And going to aafes to score cheap smokes for the whole clan just made it seem inevitable. but it's not. we have multiple generations of kids now who never seen someone light up in a restaurant. or a movie theater. or on a plane trip.

fucking evil horrid chemical.

having used grease pencils before, no thanks, due to the remainder of greasy paper you unwind as you use it.

nice alternative, and that'd make great sense except... now you have a bunch of long strings of grease covered paper floating about the cabin.

so no. no thanks.

the Soviet engines were a lot harder to short out,

bwahaha this is idiotic. anyone familiar with the long litany of rocket failures out of baiknor knows their engines weren't 'harder to short out' whatever silly shit you mean with it.

short out what? the alternator? bwahahahahaahahahaha

short out the fuse box? dear god, I'm dying here

NASA used crayons before those space pens, and iirc the pens were available for a while before they tried them

this is partially correct; the missing pertinent bit - there was a crayon shortage due to the influx of marines recruited for the vietnam war (mmm crayola), forcing NASA to seek alternatives.

and thin paper shavings = space kindling. the entire argument is fucking dumb.

perhaps the sovs gnawed their pencils sharp and consumed all the graphite fragments and shavings lol. good lil soviet space beavers

at least those three were known, acknowledged and not covered in secrecy.

we really have no idea how many the sov's lost in their rush to stay ahead / catch up to the moon landings. truly, there's no way to fucking know, even the cosmonauts themselves never knew the total extent.

maybe they both deserve to be dragged a bit eh? pfft

also, fucking pencil shavings?

pencil shavings contain graphite (great for getting into shit and shorting shit out) and thin paper (think, kindling)

did the russians gnaw the fucking things sharp? no? idiots...

You guys don’t want peace. You quite obviously want war.

sure thing kiddo.

the orgs themselves don't. really. they don't want those missions.

presidents with wild ideas and congress, on the other hand, have been known to push the mil in that direction.

but look at the doctrine and history, the military does not want that mission. the US barely participates in UN & NATO peacekeeping deployments. we prefer 'enemy here, bomb them' kind of clear cut objectives.

ah thank you.

just as in real life, communism doesn't work here either lol

what?

nardwuar

has anyone nardwuar'd nardwuar? like show up and tell him "oh yeah your nanny when you were a toddler says..."

yep. reading this had a profound effect on my worldview. I also find it's fascinating to introduce it to other people and see how they react. I've seen the gamut, from people who thought it was interesting to people reacting almost violently to reject it's premise. great book.

the mutants who live beneath nyc are not the fuckwit racists.

I think it's important, at this point, to differentiate between NYC CHUDs, and your common racist shitbag chud. NYC CHUDs are many things, but not racist dickbags.

conservatives everywhere are going bonkers about the new classroom setups.

but realistically this system will never provide for basic human needs.

cute nihilism but it's been proven to work time and time again in other countries.

the US simply needs motivation.

I kind of suspect that's part of their goal - push out so much crazy policy people lose their fucking minds. then declare martial law and start shooting protesters.

ugh.

NOLA is an awesome town. It's like austin, a beacon of sanity in an otherwise blighted place.

Louisiana, like many states in the south, derives a huge portion of it's income from the federal gov. It'll be very interesting to see what remains after all of trump/doge adventures, perhaps that will change people's minds. Hard to hold out hope though, it seems unlikely.

Best of luck.
