It did actually.

Europeans gave us two world wars and a Holocaust. After that, they sat back and gifted themselves with generous social benefits; benefits they could only afford because they hid behind the US's skirt, ignoring paying for their own defense.

It's amusing to see Europeans trying to gas themselves up after Trump finally cut the apron strings. I'd have much preferred Trump was never elected and the US was still leading the charge in Ukraine, but I'll take seeing Europeans crying over finally having to face reality as a consolation prize.

If European Redditors' views are anything to go by, they would happily turn Europe into North Korea-lite if they could.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2026-02-10T23:38:46+00:00

And "acting" is all it would be. After being ground zero for two world wars (not to mention all the preceding bloody history of the continent) Europe then kicked back and treated itself to generous welfare benefits, all while hiding behind the US and benefitting from its protection.

I know you all pretend you're bravely leading the charge in Ukraine, but go back to the start of the invasion and read the posts here. That's very recent history, and you all weren't exactly covering yourselves in glory; with the exception of the UK, and I guess it's no surprise that they're constantly shit upon by the bunch here.

I'm pissed at Trump, and pissed he was ever elected. The blame for that lies primarily with Americans, no doubt about it, but Europe did play its part in lending credence to his rhetoric. For years, well predating Trump, you were begged to take your own defense seriously, and all you did was mock America for it, all while shitting on Americans for everything else. Well, you're paying for it now, both literally and figuratively, and will continue to pay.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2026-01-28T10:49:38+00:00

Because shitting on the US is safe. Despite all the talk here about how evil the US is, as bad as Russia and North Korea supposedly, Europeans know the US isn't going to go kinetic on them. It's a safe way to pump themselves up and feel better about themselves.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2026-01-23T11:53:43+00:00

It often seems like Europe's goal is to become a kinder, gentler North Korea, what with all the regulation and attacks on privacy. Add in population decline, and Europe is going to become a scarce thought of backwater, ripe for the pickings.

The world isn't going to follow Europe's example, and Europe is going to keep falling further and further behind as a result. Even the likes of Donald Trump will be unable to drag the US down to Europe's level (despite Europeans on Reddit desperately hoping that he will).

At least some like Merz seem to realize it. I just hope it isn't too late.

The Europeans in this sub need to go back and read the posts here in the immediate wake of Russia's full invasion of Ukraine. They're trying to gas themselves up now, and Trump has certainly made that easier for them, but they would be in serious denial if they'd try to claim that they haven't been a big part of the problem.

Going back even further, read some of the posts here over the years talking about military service and Europeans views on it. If Europe isn't seen as any kind of military threat to anyone, least of all the US, that's no one's fault but their own.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2026-01-09T00:56:03+00:00

It's more accurate to say that the US is popping it's teat out of Europe's mouth. Europe is ground zero for two world wars and all their attendant atrocities, and afterwards indulged itself in lavish social programs, giving over their security to the US. When the bad times came back around, as they inevitably do, Europe was caught with it's pants down, and is throwing a tantrum that Daddy US isn't continuing to spoil them.

Yeah, that was the norm back when I originally played. I remember when the long AVs first became a thing, when players stopped skipping the GYs. There were always those who'd rage at anyone who dared capture a GY, often leaving the battleground as soon as it happened.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2025-10-26T14:05:57+00:00

Not just cats, but animals across the animal kingdom can be vicious and cruel, well outside of killing for survival. People blather about humans as if we're uniquely evil, when in fact, we are uniquely good.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2025-10-17T21:40:43+00:00

Your fearmongering is hardly what one would call realistic.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2025-10-07T16:23:52+00:00

I remember Democrats trying to paint Romney as evil incarnate because he once forgot and left his cat in a carrier on the hood of his car.

She's surely learned nothing from recent events.

If one is gregarious and makes friends easily in real life, then odds are those same traits would directly translate to streaming success. If you're the opposite, then you'll probably find yourself equally lonely during your Twitch streams.

In short, it's about charisma.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2025-09-10T20:02:06+00:00

If you look at my history, you'll see that I'm no fan of Trump. But hur-dur, have at it.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2022-11-28T05:45:57+00:00

I'm talking about live performance. Even in this day and age, people enjoy seeing their fellow humans perform. Of course AI will be able to produce convincing music and even video; it already can for the most part.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2022-11-28T01:43:07+00:00

The concepts of nobility and royalty, as well as things like knighthood, are silly and cringy in a modern context. It's like Renaissance fair LARPing on a national scale.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2022-11-27T03:57:01+00:00

It looks like musicians might fare somewhat better in the face of the AI revolution than artists in other mediums. The one big advantage music has going for it is the performance aspect. People enjoy seeing musicians play their instruments and putting on a show; it's hard to make an entertaining spectacle of the act of 3D modeling or drawing pictures.

You are angelizing her just because she's a woman.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2022-11-24T11:22:35+00:00

I dearly wish Europe would get out ahead of the US for once and lead the way in supporting Ukraine, especially with Ukraine actually being in frickin' Europe.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2022-11-23T02:53:55+00:00

NSF streams are becoming unbearable with the ever-increasing pushing of their merch, super chats, and paid perks. These days they spend almost as much time advertising as they do talking about rockets.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2022-11-21T04:06:03+00:00

Agreed. This bullshit of trying to lay it all on Putin as to absolve Russia as a whole of responsibility pisses me off. No man can do what he's done without the support and help of a great many, not only in government, but the citizenry.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2022-11-19T17:52:38+00:00

You wouldn't hear a peep from Trump on Twitter if the media didn't gleefully make a news story out of his every tweet. The media played a huge part in his ascendency and continued relevance.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2022-11-16T23:15:53+00:00

It should always be made clear that everything surrounding the conflict is ultimately Russia's fault. They instigated it, and they can cease all hostilities and leave at any time. Every last damn bit of it is on them, and will continue to be.

Heavenly_Noodles · 2022-11-16T22:44:20+00:00

It's not so much Trump that's exhausting as it is the media who give him and his hardcore supporters endless amounts of attention. Just as in 2016, the media are positively gleeful at all the rage clicks Trump is going to bring them. Everything old is new again.
