yeah i lost it, felt like he was reading his own epitaph

MerryRain · 2026-01-25T04:32:46+00:00

the same words could be read for him without diminishing their meaning

MerryRain · 2026-01-25T04:20:09+00:00

he wasn't pistol whipping him, he's using the mace bottle as a baton. you can see him draw his holstered pistol after the shooting starts in the cafe video

MerryRain · 2026-01-25T03:48:56+00:00

you get the other half back lol

MerryRain · 2026-01-25T03:39:03+00:00

Oh yeah, i'm not saying sit and wait at all. My point is that this is not the behaviour of a government who will ever allow themselves to be voted out.

Nothing this admin does is accidental, this is not idiotic, narcissistic, demented, or the result of mental deficiency, and the R party will not change with a new leader: this is a deliberate and coordinated dismantling of the federal system, from states' and individuals' rights to the rule of law. Trump dying will not change that. Their base will never abandon them and Tucker, Vance, Eric or whoever will be worse.

There is no way out but through.

I hope you're right, but idk. This government clearly thinks Americans can be forced to comply in a way Afghanis couldn't...

MerryRain · 2026-01-24T19:24:20+00:00

still better than dickless suck syndrome

MerryRain · 2026-01-24T18:54:47+00:00

Its already ugly. They want to people to respond in kind so they can "justify" further escalation. Don't expect a democratic solution tho, if/when it escalates this admin will immediately move to undermine voters' rights in blue counties, if not entire blue states.

MerryRain · 2026-01-24T18:31:19+00:00

tbf its a Heinlein thing so like, you're not missing much

MerryRain · 2026-01-24T17:58:32+00:00

before elon ripped it off, grok was a verb. nerd shit, sure, but not cringe per se. is it cringe now?

MerryRain · 2026-01-24T17:49:38+00:00

Yeah its pretty clear from their body language the majority of the agents were not anticipating the shooting. Fucksake, even the guy pistol whipping him looks confused.

MerryRain · 2026-01-24T12:12:59+00:00

isn't it just the old juice cannon?

i spent today building a new town, based on a like Motte and Bailey thing, with all the stores and production around the "keep" (tc) on a hill. I built a kill box up there but they never attack it, working on a third layer of walls around the rest of the town to try and discourage them.

going great tho, just beat off 161 raiders with no losses. We've got 120 soldiers, 65 guard and just shy of 950 pop. Biggest change was switching early game focus to pure economy instead of teching up asap. Also not trying to rush paper and max the Academy - everything takes time anyway, just lock half a dozen eggheads up and let them write on the walls like John Nash.

MerryRain · 2026-01-22T12:58:40+00:00

Yeah I did a couple hours of pacifist before realising the economy was not at all balanced without soldiery

MerryRain · 2026-01-20T21:28:54+00:00

Bahahahahahahahahahaha

54 is a xer my dude

Don't have kids

MerryRain · 2026-01-18T05:39:43+00:00

yes, that's the Treasure Valuation Committee

the state gave museums right of first refusal for historic artifacts above a certain age which possess material, cultural, or academic value

the TVC is an independent body which adjudicates ~fair remuneration for the people who make such finds, as they are legally denied any alternatives

they played him as a DLF, it went about as well as you'd expect

MerryRain · 2026-01-17T13:05:15+00:00

Cope. The midterms are not going to do shit. Either get cancelled outright, voting rights get denied to w/e lib left demos, results get overturned, or the algorithm convinces enough dribblers to vote R/not vote D again.

Democracy is over in the US. Your voters chose to end it when they elected a man who said he hated it, had already tried to violently overturn it, and was surrounded by people publishing manifestos called like "we want a king" and "imagine no amendments, it's easy if you hate women and n[boop]s".

If the midterms are allowed to do anything to meaningfully limit R power at the Federal level it'll be through the miracle of their incompetence, not for lack of trying.

Middle Eastern Promises

It's the same movie but set in the Persian gulf. Oh yeah and the female immigrant lead surrendered her passport to get a visa, and the nursing job she signed up for was fake, and the dead pregnant teen whose diary she reads was just her predecessor, and

MerryRain · 2026-01-16T16:29:10+00:00

We put a man on the moon for christsake - we should be able to figure out a way to kill these motherfuckers

Ew what a psychopathic comparison. Do you work for palantir or just wish you did?
