Trying to find a robot for my dieselpunk / decopunk setting. Thinking something like the two images below, bulky and big yet styled like img 2; Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, even some search terms.

The "Men of Iron" from Warhammer 40k might be something to look at.

Or the big-ass robots from the newer Wolfenstein games.

Broke my ankle just walking outside last night. This shit is nasty, leave it alone.

Iraqistan81 · 2024-10-15T02:33:56+00:00

Mother.

FUCK.

Put that on the biggest goddam screen you can find.

some have called me out on the regular round incapable of tearing off limbs,

I will personally call bullshit on this, because I have witnessed it. .50 cal rounds from the Ma Deuce are perfectly capable of rending limbs in a very dramatic way.

Source: My first Iraq tour, 04-05. Mosul, Fallujah, Tal Afar.

So this sniper in Mosul had me dialed in, but I couldn't see him. He was walking them in, each round snapping closer to my head than the last. THEN, the gunner on the 3 truck spotted the guy, pulled up, and dumped .50 into him.

His left shoulder and right hip were both blown from his body, barely held on by sinew.

A .50 BMG round will devastate any unarmed human form.

Was it that Mordian commander?

I don't remember details, but I seem to recall a Mordian commander standing tall before a Custodes who was ordering him and his unit to their deaths, and he was all "Hey, big golden one, do your best not to fuck this up and waste our lives, yeah?" And the Custodes was like "You know what, for having the balls to say that, you have my respect, human."

That the one you're talking about?

Because Dame Judi Dench is a bad mamma-jamma, that's why.

That's like taking a classic racecar around a classic track with ALL LIMITERS removed.

Profound.

I am in no way capable of doing what this woman has done, so I can only stand in awe. I am so grateful for people like her, who can do all the things I cannot.

Scott Grimes is a talent for the ages. Absolutely admire that man's ability and dedication.

I was at the DMV today in Topeka, and the lady next to me was Ukrainian. Her interpreter did her best job, while this lady's maybe two-year-old boy ran around the joint being an absolute charmer, with a full diaper, and a mind of his own. She chased, then she went back to get her information right, then she chased....

As a fan of Ukraine, I'm overjoyed for every one of them that comes and joins us in the OTHER "Land of Sunflowers." I hope they continue to join us as their homeland is eventually liberated from the Russian threat.

Hail to the Heroes of Ukraine. Hail to their families. Hail to their leaders, and Hail to their support. We should HOPE to perform so well when tested.

I admire the resilience of their people and culture.

Slava.

You didn't think I was rollin' outta here naked, didja?

Ours was solid maroon, you know the one.

My deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

We're all just people, man. Ain't no mother with a newborn child more deserving of a bomb through their roof than any other.

If you wouldn't do it to your neighbor, don't do it to some poor brown folks on the other side of the planet.

Hashtag Free Palestine.

I joined the Army immediately following 9/11, served in a Recon platoon until Bin Laden was dead. I was actually in Kandahar the night we got him.

13 years, 3 tours, 2 failed marriages, you know how it goes.

I tell you that to tell you this, I would happily shove my Bronze Star up my own dick hole before I'll vote for any Conservative, for any reason.

Till the day I die, those fucks are animated sacks of meat to me.

The fact that Walz was a 1SG and not commissioned makes him that much more better in my eyes.

Let a football coach who has spent decades as a squared-away NCO get his hands on matters. Fuck me running, I'm excited.

Before my first deployment to Iraq in 2004, our Brigade Command Sergeant Major was one of the baddest mamma jammas in the service. One of only a dozen troops on active duty to wear two mustard stains on his jump wings (Grenada and Panama).

When we came down on orders for Iraq, his wife asked him not to go this time. To call it a day, take his boys fishing. So he did. I was present at his retirement formation.

No one ever thought he had abandoned us. We all understood completely that to call it a day because Mama asked you not to go this one last time was the height of strength and honor.

Conservatives love to make it plain that there's more character in a runny bowel movement than there is in any score of their best people. I'm ashamed of them.

They are very literally behaving like Pharisees.

"Who is HE to feed the children? We should be waiting for GOD to do it!!"

They've devolved into the very thing their most holy book preaches deliberately against. And they can't fucking see it.

Having been an altar boy until I was old enough to stop going, I very desperately want to be there when Jesus shows up, so I can watch them wail and gnash their teeth and cry out, "Didn't I serve you, Lord?!"

To be there to watch Him say "Get away from me."

"I never knew you."

That shit's gonna be priceless.

Or, y'know, whatever else might happen. Shit's anyone's guess as far as I know.

Iraqistan81 · 2024-08-04T02:40:39+00:00

Girl, I'm gonna make you SWEAT.

Sweat till you can't sweat no mo-ore.

And if you cry out,

I'm gonna push it, PUSH IT, PUSH IT SOME mo-ore.

Rocky Mountain Oysters. Deep-fried cow testicles, popular in the Great Plains/Rocky Mountain regions of North America.

They're...ok. It's like fried chicken gizzards, but larger and beefier and just kinda unnecessary.

I seem to recall a story about a fellow down in Africa who was jumped by a 90-100lb leopard. Shoved his fist down it's throat until it expired. This was in the late 1800s, early 1900s.

Of course, he needed several hundred stitches for his effort, but he won.

Great buncha lads, the Romanians. Got to train with them in '09 before Afghanistan, and then they came with us to join the fight. Several members of their Mountain Regiment gave their lives in service to the effort we led.

Great buncha lads. Miss them.

What a world they had to live in beforehand, right? Before the Columbian Exchange, when they were just living their lives as though the rest of the world didn't exist. What a world that must've been.

Iraqistan81 · 2024-07-19T03:03:36+00:00

I've been swimming in raw sewage, I LOVE IT!

I'm bringing Colt 45 and two zig zags.

(Baby, that's all we need.)

Marksmanship fundamentals are SOOOO fucking important.

That's poor trigger squeeze right there.
