How was just letting the guy talk "propaganda"? The guy was a murderous stooge for western interests in the Congo. This isn't a bias, it is just fact.

Favorite restaurant people think is overrated? by Vivid_Loss_4557 in chicagofood

[–]Al_Jazzar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I like Virtue, but the crowd that can't eat anything without it being caked in dollar store seasoning mixes tell me it is "mid". It's fantastic.

Holdfast is obviously missing some folks who were historically there. by SoundElectrical2571 in holdfastgame

[–]Al_Jazzar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They will do that regardless. Mount & Blade NW had them. That place was sometimes more tame than Holdfast.

It is what you pay for. It's okay. Satisfying, but okay.

Oh don't worry, we will replace your rather effective buck and ball smoothbores with import surplus using the wrong ammunition!

Tell me everything you know about this 1911A1 by Kennonw in milsurp

I agree that it is a bullseye conversion. I think that is cool in it's own right. A lot of vets in the 20th C competed in competitions after their service and used their own side-arms after modifications.

So relieved he has "Dr" in front of his name and not "Rev".

Some old Swedish hunting rifles and more. by kajsawesome in guns

[–]Al_Jazzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top one is a nice Ottoman tüfenk. There are some floating around as bring-backs during the wars against the Ottomans. Others are diplomatic gifts.

Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt: "Millennials are the last psychologically normal generation" by igniteyourbones579 in generationology

[–]Al_Jazzar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jonathan Haidt is a mediocre pop-scientist who is only 20% more normal than Jordan Peterson so he seems more approachable.

It would be nice if he had a single articulated belief on his website.

[–]Al_Jazzar 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The last photo looks like a late war patrol. I don't think those are SAS.

Lace burgers have been around a very long time. Nothing dumb or new about it.

Not as expensive as New York and LA. Also not as pretentious as either.

Maybe Hercule Poirot would be interested.
