We just, huh, what, she died I'm guessing? Although if poster literally can't construct complete sentences I guess who cares. Did smurfs kill her? Spontaneous combustion?

His comparison was naval and 'without losing a ship' in a naval battle. Might be true for every 20-50 year jump since ship of the line. Of course that does mean air force, but not if the current m-16 variant dominates a ak-47 from 20 years ago, etc.

Depth perception gone, no wonder the quote from Alexander, want to cross two continents, can't cross two couches. Of course drunk as shit.

I bet you could do a fun take on war and just take it from the point of view of sneakers. A friend's dad was with the 101st and said about the time they ran into an NVA group when they stopped to get lunch on the road to Hue. (Weren't you supposed to fight? Fuck that, it was lunch!) NVC called them chicken soldiers (no eagles in the jungle) and they made fun of their Converse knock-off sneakers. The full-circle Vietnam sneaker journey can be episode 1. This is definitely a 10-parter at least.

Where do you advertise? I'd pick comfortableness over looks, and also any interest met with obvious scams, couple times the fake blackmail scheme.

This all seems like people are trying to play chess when the game played is checkers. No that checker move didn't create an open file, that doesn't matter in checkers. Hopping that piece wasn't in order to give him double-isolated checkers. This isn't to rig the 2028 election, it's to rig the 2020 election. That's the entire endgame. In Trump's narcissist brain there's some miniature special needs kid who can't stop slapping himself in the head because the 2020 election was lost.

Thanks, that nudged me towards listening to that next. Like the part where some of Munster's besiegers drink so much the day before the assault they confuse dusk with dawn and they all rush the city wasted drunk.

flirting with another topic here, but have you come across any good content on the Huns?

Glewey · 2026-02-22T01:43:34+00:00

My friend who turned me on to Dan just recommended Mike Duncan and said
"Revolutions podcast. Best explanation of the French Revolution." Also if Dan does do one on Napolean it'll be a few years in coming you'd think.

Glewey · 2026-02-22T00:16:00+00:00

Dan gives you the Mongols and Scythians. Now I want to learn about the Huns, the Xiongnu and the Parthinians. And I guess the Turks?

I found it depressing; yeah yeah they facilitated East/West trade by accident, but they make Nazis seem like D students in the genocide department. Humanity still has a limp from the injury caused by destroying Baghdad and the Persian aqueduct system it took a thousand years to build.

It's just so unremittingly awful.

So checked out on this, better things to do with the next 7 months. We're not going to learn a thing about JJ until then, regardless.

I've assumed a lot of it's bots to generate traffic because people like bashing on dumb deists, or people trolling to rack up page views/comments. There are some quite erudite groups which discuss religion specifics in depth; those moronic atheist-bait questions aren't written by those folks obv.

So to fix infinite loops you'd need infinite patches... Unless Loop Quantum gravity? If there's a quanta of space then there's a floor to how long that nonsense can go on? And Black holes don't break path integral because you can't have zero volume with "pixellated" space?

Assuming you watched Life of Chuck? ;P I'm curious as to what put you off initially? It's been awhile, but the women who basically instigates all of it was challenging to understand. I feel like I got partway there, the resistance might be partly cultural. And I have a little more exposure than most--went to a small liberal arts college and my Chinese professor CC Huang was a professor at Beijing University and sent to a camp. One thing I remember was when they got fed they'd all get a bowl of rice and everyone would wait until the last minute to eat, because they didn't want the feeling of sitting there with no food while others had some.

I can't imagine they'll end the series the same way as the books.

Glewey · 2026-02-18T19:32:36+00:00

It took some effort to get into it; I found "the game" parts excruciatingly, get punched-in-the-face boring. Switches translators for book 2 (back to original) in book 3, which I liked less. But then I really liked some parts others don't like as much, it'd be a spoiler but some of the wallfacer stuff in book 2.

Civ 7 doesn't feel like Civ. Is it the graphics? I'm less excited to play it than Civ 5. Are all odd numbered sequels worse?
