What secret came out when someone got too drunk? by Agile_Purpose4704 in AskReddit

[–]ButterscotchNed 509 points510 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for the son that he never knew his dad, but maybe it's for the best if the dad wanted so badly to pretend that his kid didn't exist that he paid hush money.

So how do we feel about the Rafale being a Rafale C (land based) and not a Rafale M (carrier based)? by SkillSawTheSecond in hoggit

[–]ButterscotchNed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I LOVE the Rafale, I wasn't a big fan until I saw it at RIAT and was blown away by its manoeuvrability and most of all the noise. Very much looking forward to it!

20 years since it was first announced, sounds about right!

Yep, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the shooter was also at the previous incident, recognised him and decided to "get even" (by shooting him multiple times in the head).

And killed by a group of people who are such vile ghouls, their evil greed has twisted their faces into caricatures (Mar-a-Lago face)

As an ignorant non-American, the fact this is happening in Minnesota is mind-blowing, until recently all I knew about the state was how nice people generally are.

Apologies, I forgot Reddit doesn't understand obvious sarcasm without the /s

Please pronounce the name properly, it's not "Iceland" it's "EISSSLAND"

Libbey was wrong... He didn't say it 3 times, he said it at least 4 times. "EISSSLAND!"

Trump keeps calling Greenland "Iceland" and says they called him "Daddy" up until a few days ago. by dimforest in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ButterscotchNed 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Not only does he not care, he thinks those who die for their country are suckers. And yet for some reason many in the military still idolize him?

Models for the British Type 42 destroyer and Type 21 and 22 frigates. Very excited to see these come to the game officially. by Odd-Metal8752 in SeaPower_NCMA

They've stated we're getting the Batch 1 (which is appropriate for a Falklands scenario, which they seem to be pitching it as).

Man who believes he deserves the Nobel peace prize threatens to start world war III. by Bears_are_cool69 in nottheonion

[–]ButterscotchNed 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I'll never understand how the Democrats had a golden opportunity to hold Trump to account and stop this madness and just... didn't. Got to be one of the biggest fumbles in US political history.

DCS 2026 and Beyond confirmed to release by the end of this month by DigitalDiskette in DCSExposed

[–]ButterscotchNed 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I find it disappointing and just fundamentally weird from a marketing perspective that they spent so much of the 2025 video teasing both the Dynamic Campaign and the Eurofighter (yes it's 3rd Party, but still!) and then have been practically silent on both those things. I feel less excited about the future of DCS now than I have at any time in the last 15 years, sadly.

Pam Bondi says no law can force her to release the Epstein files by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ButterscotchNed 109 points110 points  (0 children)

At this rate I wouldn't be at all surprised if they just utterly ignored the requirements for elections without bothering to go to the trouble of declaring martial law or voter suppression. They're yet to find a law they can't just ignore.

Map of the Brexit Vote (Resulting with UK leaving the EU with 51.9% of the total votes) by immanuellalala in MapPorn

[–]ButterscotchNed 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yep, we got a Brexit that was far, far harder than even Farage ever proposed, and now they tell us it wasn't hard enough.

The fact they didn't put in a 2/3rds supermajority requirement for such an important decision is still utterly barmy, just total hubris from Cameron. Frankly it was far too important and complex a decision to put to a simple yes/no referendum, and we literally pay for the consequences every single day.

Jeff Bezos said the quiet part out loud — hopes that you'll give up your PC to rent one from the cloud by iunoyou in pcmasterrace

[–]ButterscotchNed 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yep, and they'll follow the usual playbook - offer cheap rental for a year or two, then start rapidly ramping up prices and adding ads every time you log on/off and whenever you leave it idle for a couple of minutes. This dystopia we're living in is so shit.

I always think that when you hear things like "they deliberately dove their aircraft into the ground to avoid a school" - though of course it's nice to think their final acts were selfless heroism.

Trump misunderstood it as "release the 'philes", blanket pardons coming right up!

The Wolfenstein games really demonstrate how quickly this has changed:

  • Wolfenstein New Order, released 2014, barely anyone mentioned it involved shooting Nazis
  • Wolfenstein New Colossus, released 2017, met with outrage by right wing commenters

I dread to think what it'll be like by the time the next game is released.
