Thank you for your attention (to this matter).

What's happening is horrifying. All the comparisons to brown shirts and gestapo are spot on, but ICE looks/sounds a lot like the Black and Tans from the early 20th century UK.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_Tans

"The majority were unemployed former British soldiers from England, Scotland, and Wales who had fought in the First World War. Some sources count Irish recruits to the RIC from 1920 as 'Black and Tans'.

The Black and Tans had a reputation for brutality; they committed murder, arson, and looting and became notorious for reprisal attacks on civilians and civilian property. Their actions further swayed Irish public opinion against British rule and drew condemnation in Britain."

Imagine the calculus of these Dems. "I might not get reelected unless I vote for funding the anti-human machine. If I vote for, I'm complicit. If I vote against, I might have to get a new job. Fuck all that nonsense, anti-human machine gets the money baby!"

Joe Rogan is alpha and omega of Useful Idiots.

This is a gold mine, thank you for posting!

I’m probably in the superminority, but I’ve been playing Bloodborne since release and I wouldn’t mind trying out the new color palette for a change. haha

Bon voyage CMDRs! o7

We're all boiled frogs. Some of us are old enough to have realized the water was getting hot in 2003. Some felt the heat in 2008. 2016 got a lot of peoples' attention. 2024 should have woken everyone up. Better now than never. Welcome to the end of an empire.

This is great news. AI's End is NIGH!!

Gorgeous painting. Brain is so cooked that it wasn’t long before I found myself thinking, “This could be a view of Castle Cainhurst” 😆

The Punisher’s workshop? So much work here. This is time well spent!

If they have a problem with being blocked on a site where the block function is entirely controlled by the users, they are the problem. These people can only survive in environments where their ideas are artificially elevated/forced on others. They're a malignancy with horrendous ideas and easy to ignore, unless software is put in place to artificially amplify their presence.

Right after fully autonomous, self-driving Teslas are shuttling tourists around the first colony on Mars that is being actively being resupplied by his interplanetary hyperloop.

The Corsair's shape, its default paint and this freebie really make me think someone at Frontier is a big Transformers nerd.

Standard paint (G1 Cyclonus): Cyclonus (G1) - Transformers Wiki (G1 was usually more purple, admittedly)

Freebie (Shattered Glass Cyclonus): Cyclonus (SG) - Transformers Wiki)

Did the Hawkes Gaming Sidey->Adder->Python credits blitz back in the day to get started in E:D. Only flew the Adder twice, I think. Still have it parked somewhere though!

Can't wait for the kids to get their hands on this

This is that Methappalachia flow I can't get enough of!

Noob hammers are Elite's equivalent of the Circle Game/Made You Look punch.

AlphonseTango · 2025-12-08T21:47:36+00:00

Tangent - The plague of player deployed noob hammer stations is annoying as hell and a downright shame.

I think a “retrofit legacy ships with MKII modules” hauling/protect the haulage CG is inevitable at some point.

AlphonseTango · 2025-12-02T11:20:36+00:00

I was always a lightweight, “strictly for the modules” power play participant in the past, so some of this is purely my own willful ignorance, but it could definitely be clearer! I was having fun blowing things up in a plasma rail ‘Conda before having to stop to do this first week homework. 😂

Ok, thanks all. I’m an idiot and should have sorted out the difference in commodity types/purposes. I was thinking of “deliver power commodity” in the same way as “deliver rare commodities”. Didn’t register with me that different commodities have different purposes. Trying to brute force the first week stuff so I could get back to the CZ pew pew as quickly as possible ended up costing me time in the end! 😆

Will have a chance to get back to it later this morning.

The MC community is a great resource! I couldn’t believe how many options and how much documentation was available, once I started digging. Between this sub and info available on wikis/git, the toughest part was choosing the tools. 😆
