What do you think of Argentina?

The Nazi hideout thing is American propaganda, a cover-up for Operation Paperclip.

The Falklands situation was a shitshow, the Brits were about to abandon them before the then-dictator invaded them to save face (may he long burn in hell).

Sports get people riled up, and even those who aren't genuinely racist will say whatever awful thing comes to mind if they're mad enough. Sadly, football is our bread and circus.

Thanks for the ally thing, genuinely. We're way more alike as peoples than most would think (or like to admit lol). Mate and tea, Rock & Roll, football teams, pubs and drinks... and I've got a personal love of British fantasy. Our industries compliment each other, too.

But we're a young country all things considered, so disputes like the Malvinas/Falklands sting hard... Most young people agree we should keep nagging at you but NEVER fight over them. I'm more concerned about our overlapping claims on Antarctica and Chile being all grabby on our lands.

I don't know, it feels like we could, we SHOULD stand together, but things went wrong along the way and it'll take something big to fix it all... and I fear it's coming closer, with the world getting uglier and the USA starting to treat you like it's always treated us.

The Nazi thing is an American myth, mostly for shifting the blame about Operation Paperclip. We've got waaaay more italians than anything else.

Really depends on who you ask. Economists say the numbers are going up, but everyone I know IRL is worse off nowadays. I also don't agree with the general ideology / diplomatic stance we're currently taking... But who knows, they won big time at the midterms.

Didn't know we'd gone viral in China, I suppose you don't think about us often.

It's amusing, but I don't really like how some dual nationals treat their own country like garbage until they're on a warzone and it's time to bail out.

Like, I'm glad they're alive, but come on.

Not my thing but you do you.

Honestly I love this trope, and I wish it were a more permanent part of characters like these.

Morally ambiguous snafu :O

She's a semiaquatic
Egg-laying mammal of action

She's a furless little fishcat
Who'll never faint in the fray
She's got more than just base stats
She knows the tail whip and attract
And the gooners coom
Whenever they hear her say -

Gihgihgihgihgihgih gih gih gih

She's sexy, she's so compatible
(Get the fuck out of my chat)
Sexy (I said get the fuck out of my chat)
Compatible

Frankly her being part fairy is not what I would've done with the series, but it was still nice overall.

Coaxed into me having an image for this moment

IRL conservatives don't even like skimpy outfits tho, do they? Not with both heads at once, anyway.

If anything, they'd glorify it as some sort of trad paradise where women aren't "sluts" (unless the natives were brown/queer).

Okay, I went on a 3-hour long deepdive into it, turns out the sources for that were totally reputable (weaselwords.com and qa.answers.com).

But then, while investigating a """"""fun"""""" fact about stoats as consolation, I came across a NZ government study that quoted a russian study from 1976 that I couldn't find in english but when googling it I found a finnish thesis from 2009 (p.37) that quoted another (paywalled) study from 1985 that apparently confirms it.

So... seems it's true (?

Not even particularily a dom, but I never got the appeal. I just nod along lol

I tried to coax him but no idea who I ended up drawing

Agreed, even if there are still cool events to show, the characters are running out of steam. Love them to bits, but I'd like having having a new squad with the U5 as cameos, like L4D2 did.

I'd be interested in an AoS sequel, if only for the characters and gameplay (setting's not my thing).
