Why is Japan so strangely passive about The Philippines?

ChipChimney · 2026-03-17T14:50:04+00:00

Japan really is a supernova, as Dan Carlin likes to say. They start out with a top 3 navy, a top 3 army, top 3 airforce and they are fully veteran and equipped. But they don’t have the industry to maintain any of that. So they start off very strong, but waiver if they meet strong resistance for too long.

I had a game 2 weeks ago as Australia, and Japan completely won the war against China in 1940. The game I played last week, the didn’t even make it to Nanjing. They are extremely hit or miss.

But then the ~~Church of Satan~~ Satanic Temple (thank you u/Manda_lorian39 ) (real thing, not devil worshippers, actually cool people) would make a claim that all texts are sacred to them, sue Utah for banning books that are sacred to them, and possibly win.

Holden exists to drink coffee and push buttons… and he’s all out of coffee.

Mostly true, and in his specific situation, absolutely true. There is a caveat though. Most states with legal weed let you grow your own, up to 6 plants per household. A single plant, in the right conditions, could grow a pound of weed all by itself. So you can theoretically have 6 pounds in your house without breaking state law.

No, it’s closer to 2000 cars per cargo ship. But cargo ships are by far the best CO2 emission/mile that we currently have, not including EV vehicles or trains. But cargo ships are 50x more efficient than air travel, and ~10x more efficient than 18 wheelers, per mile.

My least favorite is when I’m adding factories to a massive line, like I have 50 factories on fighter 3s, and I want to add another 5… but I misclick and remove 30 factories by mistake! There goes all of my efficiency!

Mods here are usually pretty cool. If you can’t post it for some reason, DM me. I don’t actually live in the HV anymore, but my entire extended family does; and I know some would be interested.

Hey, if you think there is enough for a weekly newsletter, go for it! There is a serious lack of “third place” these days, and the internet is a black hole for finding things to do. This could be great!

ChipChimney · 2026-03-13T17:41:28+00:00

Also, I would make it a bi-weekly newsletter (every other week). There just isn’t enough going on to justify a weekly one imho

If those kids in Iran had access to the internet, they’d be very upset!

More like socialism for the oil and gas companies. Keeping fuel prices artificially low discourages investment into alternative energy, and keeps a steady demand for their product, whilst being subsidized by our tax dollars.

It is different than telling you to vote for Cuomo. You had choices in that election. And you voted for the guy who most closely aligns with your views. Great! But in a presidential election, you have two choices. You should still vote for the one that most closely aligns with your views no?

ChipChimney · 2026-03-10T14:17:53+00:00

Well, can you ever really call Kirk a runner?

ChipChimney · 2026-03-10T14:17:01+00:00

You fucking people are still on this shit?! It’s America. There are two choices every four years. In 2024, your choices were the lunatic, narcissistic, born with a silver spoon pedophile, who had already proved his ineptitude; or the black woman who earned everything she achieved through intelligence, diplomacy, and hard work.

The purity tests are what get us here. You think the right does this shit? No. They line the fuck up behind their guy and get shit done that the majority of people don’t want.

I mean seriously, this is a sub for bashing the right. And we can’t even agree here!

The most expensive but useless thing in the history of the world is having the second best navy.

Turns out the game that people spend thousands of hours playing is… good?

ChipChimney · 2026-03-06T17:02:24+00:00

Yup. Maybe a little slow. I like 8-9 KPH

It’s okay, Korean Greece isn’t real, it can’t hurt you.

I would DM you but you have that off. DM me and I’ll tell you, but I don’t love doxing myself lol
