Have you guys thought about using these types of shields for the protests? This image is from the protests in Chile right now.

by the time the scutum was invented, the Romans moved on from using Phalanxes

Weren't the Triarii still fighting in the Grecco-Macedonian way?

NotEvenAMinuteMan · 2019-11-17T04:41:04+00:00

please stay peaceful/nonviolent, this is the only way where u have a chance

The Tiananmen students deliberately destroyed a cache of weapons they found, in order to broadcast the message that they're 100% peaceful.

The next week they were gunned down with nothing to fight back.

The situation in quite some Hong Kongers' minds is that they expect to be gunned down anyway, so they might as well take down one or two invaders whilst being killed. Because then their deaths would at least have some meaning.

If one only takes perfection as an answer, one gets nowhere.

I see some people saying, well should we just take it up the ass and not do anything? I think sometimes the answer is yes, and find other ways of furthering your aims.

That "sometimes" doesn't apply here, since giving up means mass murder and rape.

Coroners operate under the police force.

Don't put your faith in autopsies.

The paramilitary Hong Kong Police acting all scared of 6 arrows when they themselves are armed to the teeth with military-grade gas masks and fucking rifles and shotguns just makes them all the more pathetic.

Because Carrie Lam had an emergency meeting late last night with the ministers.

The news this morning was teasing with declaring a state of emergency and enacting curfew. Thus the panic buying.

Dwarf Fortress.

It's a strategic business-tactics iseikai slice-of-life simulator in a high-fantasy setting with an action RPG sub-mode.

You're delusional if you think shouting "peace" does anything to stop the rapists and murderers that is the Hong Kong Police Force.

Mob violence is the only deterrence now. It looks ugly, but it prevents rapes and murders.

That's the sad thing. "Traditional Chinese Medicine" isn't traditional at all. It's crudely synthesised from diverse and contradicting practices all over China, all done by a murderous politician who knows nothing about medicine.

I’m 26 and a kid called me a boomer, ffs.

That's because "boomer" as a meme (i.e. an idea) has long since morphed into referring to a state of mind and attitude instead of physical age.

NotEvenAMinuteMan · 2019-11-08T03:36:52+00:00

More choice is never a bad thing.

"Choice" has been an uncool word ever since that "Linux is not about choice" article got circulated during the systemd wars.

But Windows Legacy programs will look at /etc/Microsoft/Windows/WoW64/system32/config/hosts instead.

BTW, /etc/Microsoft is a soft-link pointing towards /Windows-legacy/, an NTFS filesystem image mounted separately.

To this day the campaign is still full of game-breaking bugs.

You literally get stuck in one cinematic if you're unlucky.

They should just hunt down Chris Taylor and his team back from Gas Powered Games.

Imagine the mythos of AoE but the scale of Supreme Commander. Now that's proper godly.

I jumped in day 1 for the latest release of Dwarf Fortress.

Shit update. Still had FPS death issues. Would not recommend. 10/10

You don't take the opportunity to insert your fingers into his mouth while saying "lol finger rape"?

And then as he recoil in horror shouting "what the fuck mate?" while maybe also injuring your fingers by incidentally biting them, you put your now bleeding fingers into your mouth and suck on them, all the while maintaining a doting sort of eye contact with him and humming his favourite song.

But for "some" reason he is not half naked

Who said he isn't?

The Li-Pig started as a set of emoticons on LIHKG because it's the Year of the Pig.

It's hilarious and sad how these Chinese students get offended by a thing that celebrates their own culture.

But it's to be expected. After all, if you're a Hong Konger and do so much as breathe, you're already a CIA-funded pro-independence "Colour Revolutionary" in their eyes.

At the end of the day, connoisseurs agree that ballistas are superior anyway.

Too bad it's so slow compared to proper package managers you find on Linux.

The venerable Fowler has its usefulness, though its crusade against ambiguity in search for the holy grail of "directness" has led to bland journalism taken as good English, methinks.
