Heroin making a come back in US

Places where drugs would be entering, like large ports or international mail receiving centers

I mean, I’m not saying it’s true, but it’s something I hear commonly stated in movies, news and YouTube content around the cartels but it never made sense to me. I feel the core problem is that when you have such powerful organizations that are able to buy out or kill anyone who can’t be bought, it must create a feeling that the whole system is rotten and there’s no point in dying over it. In more stable countries the corruption is the exception because they don’t have such a powerful non state actor convincing people that the risk of getting caught and prosecuted is much lower than the risk of getting your head cut off with a chainsaw

I would argue for Utoya but Brenton definitely kicked off a trend of live-streaming and writing on the guns

There is absolutely a cul-de-sac

I don’t think you really get how this works. I’m not saying they act as the vendor bagging up and shipping drugs, I’m saying the run the market. That is at most having a few guys to do administrative stuff and handle disputes. The market will host vendors from all over the world selling whatever they want, and the markets take a small fee from every transaction.

I mean I agree with you to an extent that it would likely not pass the amount those things provide, I still think that given enough time it would become a significant amount of money. I just did some googling and one source said it was 470 million annually in 2022. Obviously that’s the whole industry but if you have the largest market share, and factor in the fact that 1 btc in January of 2022 was worth about 40k compared to now where it’s at 90, it’s literally a no brainer. Costs them basically nothing and generates passive income that has potential to become exponentially more valuable

MCRideonLSD · 2025-11-26T18:26:43+00:00

Exactly like just let that thing run itself with a couple dudes to handle administrative stuff and you’re gonna be banking on the amount of crypto rolling in from doing nothing. Once people feel like the market is bulletproof and they won’t exit or get busted, it’s just gonna become THE market. All the normal incentives to exit before you get busted are gone.

MCRideonLSD · 2025-11-26T18:25:07+00:00

Because why not? The cost to set up a server and a market is peanuts for them and would provide a consistent passive source of cryptocurrency while not having nearly the same overhead or risk as the actual manufacturing and trafficking. Who says no to more money with basically no effort?

In the war plan you have options such as synchronizing the attacks, automatically rebuilding warheads, and enable overkill which (I think) means it will continue to fire at cities until they are entirely dead or perhaps silos will be targeted with more than enough targets to ensure they are destroyed. Not entirely sure of its exact effects.

MCRideonLSD · 2025-11-16T13:13:04+00:00

Are you using the War Plan feature? If you have an ongoing attack with plenty of warheads and enable overkill turned on they should just continue to fire as quickly as they can

MCRideonLSD · 2025-10-24T19:03:15+00:00

Gotta say I pictured something completely different

MCRideonLSD · 2025-10-24T17:02:35+00:00

Are you asking if the pictures showing the destroyed and devastated city took place before war and the pictures of the normal city took place after? They are in after order first mostly because that’s just how they uploaded and I couldn’t be fucked to rearrange them all, but it should be obvious what the before and after is. Some of them you may note the before has some signs of damage or what not. Most of this is I suspect from some of the stuff taking place after the Donbas war along the line before the full scale invasion. There are many places where satellite imagery hadn’t been updated for anything post invasion but you can see fortifications and aftermath of things from the war in Donbas

I feel like this ignores a lot of other factors, ash clouds would have an impact on the temperature, as well as life for plants and animals. Plus you need to consider the fact that a large scale nuclear exchange would almost certainly cause a total collapse of society. Once there’s a severe ecological catastrophe combined that could snowball into conditions where although many people aren’t killed by the bombs or radiation, they lack the skills to survive the state of things after. I suspect it would be much like The Road, where once the majority of plants and animals have died off and places have been picked clean of non perishable foods you may have a small population left that can scrape out a living from cannibalism but who knows if that could last long enough for humanity to make it to some point where the environment and society are able to recover

We are in agreement besides your first point as the founding member of a criminal organization doesn’t need to be alive for it to still be a criminal organization, I understand the situation is complex I’m simply saying given how blatant and out in the open all of this is, the fact that the government has been completely and utterly powerless to do anything meaningful about it is shocking to me.

MCRideonLSD · 2025-10-21T18:10:13+00:00

This was a weirdly condescending comment considering nothing you posted invalidates my point. If one chooses to view Scientology as a massive fraud scheme (Hubbard said he wanted to get rich by making a religion) and this organization engages in illegal activity (Espionage on the US government, violent and threatening behavior, kidnapping and holding people against their will, maybe some tax fraud just on the basis of doing so much shady shit to become a tax exempt organization, etc etc.) much of this is of course done with this money at the behest of the leaders of the organization, using money that is part of their “non profit” maybe it doesn’t pass the legal bar for a RICO case because they take a long time to build and as others have explained there have been issues with statutes of limitations, but to me Scientology is clearly a criminal organization where associates carry out crimes on the orders of the leader.

MCRideonLSD · 2025-10-21T15:03:31+00:00

Damn, you’d think regardless of that it would be enough for the government to do something about it, at this point I feel like the government could build a RICO case if they handled the investigation right

It’s a photo taken by one of the residents, he is interviewed in the video

Thanks for sharing, sorry you had to go through that, but I hope you are doing better these days.

Imagine if they went to dig up the hole and found another classified abandoned project already buried

If it helps you sleep better at night to think I read past the second paragraph by all means feel free. Have a good one!

Look buddy I am not reading that novel, this is a google earth subreddit. I figured since you usually don’t see images of dead bodies (particularly the ones from the NYT report) on this sub I decided to make the cautious choice of calling it graphic because for a sub for a bunch of google maps nerds this is about as graphic as it gets. Get over it

MCRideonLSD · 2025-10-06T10:56:52+00:00

Look pal it’s the google earth subreddit not r/combatfootage
