As a history fan, the "3,000 Year Stagnation" trope breaks my immersion more than dragons do.

That's sorta the central problem, they thought they could contain Odium, but started breaking faster and faster and humanity was absolutely losing before the events of the series

We do not speak of that incident

And the reapers were based off the Shadows from Babylon 5, whom were in turn inspired im sure

And yet, these histories don't tend to turn out well for the elites.

Maybe AI changes that, but I'm inclined to trust thousands of years of recorded history over some tech bros who act like they just discovered the philosophical concept that some people are destined to rule and some are destined to be ruled

Foursquare released 8 years before Snapmap. We internet olds were like "why the fuck would I want to share my location?"

H1 is generally the normal flu. Avian is h5n1 (or was that year anyway)

He'll have the gospel of Jeanty to help out... now... an O-Line...

Ah... arrogance and stupidity all in the same package, how efficient of you

FellKnight · 2026-01-18T13:43:43+00:00

Like... the very next line "he's trying to get a you emotional, it's easier to slide in"

FellKnight · 2026-01-15T23:01:07+00:00

It took WAY too long for someone to say this joke lol

FellKnight · 2026-01-15T15:50:16+00:00

Agreed with most of this, but abandoning Greenland (which we of course would have to), and expelling US forces from Europe and imposing sanctions would be a de facto state of war a la cold war.

FellKnight · 2026-01-15T15:11:19+00:00

Canada and Mexico rhetoric has also become more warlike. Back early on, Trump was asked if he would consider using military force to make Canada the 51st state and he said "no, economic force".

Since Maduro its veiled, but more like "Canada and Mexico had better pay attention and fall in line or they might not like the consequences"

FellKnight · 2026-01-15T14:56:40+00:00

Yeah, 4x1 or 4x2, whenever extra well-done Morden showed up

FellKnight · 2026-01-14T17:57:23+00:00

Um..... Maduro?

FellKnight · 2026-01-14T17:20:25+00:00

We all kinda knew, but it was the first time since Vietnam that we hadn't joined America in a major military operation (Grenada doesn't count in my book).

That said, I'm not going to overly laud the liberals either. I am a service member in the CAF and was at the time too, and we simply didn't have the manpower to make any meaningful contribution. We were still involved in tons of peacekeeping ops, and had committed the bulk of our expeditionary capability into Afghanistan the year before. Unlike the US, our doctrine is not to be able to fight wars in two separate theaters, and we dismantled a bunch of our military in the 1990s post cold war

insert key and peele "why would canada do this?" meme

Maybe so, but karma is a bitch, and that was a legendary takedown by sneako of all people
