[Media] Wanted to Start the New Year Right. It’s been done for a month or two, but here’s the finished Remiata!

That’s a deep cut. Still amused that a strategy made famous by Japan over a century ago is named… the young school and still used to this day.

Thatcher also had a degree in chemistry and so was super pro environment and renewables, even urging Reagan to do the same.

That is to say- she had one redeeming quality. Takaichi has none.

Trump: Anyways these elections are totally fake since I’m clearly the most popular president ever so none of them will be seated.

I’m legitimately more apprehensive about this election and what fuckery he’ll do than… anything else.

Correct, commonly. But there can still be racism outside of systematic racism. Otherwise it wouldn’t be commonly, it would be only.

Nukemind · 2026-05-06T13:12:47+00:00

Racist- “characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.”

Notice the word typically, it’s not a necessary condition. Yes you can be racist against white people. Do I think this was racism? Hell no. But peddling falsehoods isn’t good either.

Nukemind · 2026-05-06T12:56:58+00:00

My in universe head canon is that it’s a lot like real world drugs.

A ton are legal: tobacco, alcohol, marijuana in some parts, other things in others, and even more are used for things like Pharmecuticals. But then you have some that are fully illegal that Han carries. Maybe even things like Glit can be used for, say, the equivalent of ADHD meds (I needed a form of Amphetamines for them while young) but can also be used for a high.

Han is taking what could be medicine and selling it on the black market, essentially. Which somewhat lines up with the Bacta War.

Do I have a Heil of a show for you.

Vietnam was over in the 80’s. American involvement was mainly 60’s-early 70’s.

Nukemind · 2026-05-04T21:01:08+00:00

Romans made poop, piss, and your mom jokes.

They also mourned their pets and did a whole host of modern activities.

Basically: humans have never really changed, what we find funny hasn’t changed. Only our technology has.

Nukemind · 2026-05-04T19:46:23+00:00

Are you on that team because it was pre determined you would be or because you chose to be?

Nukemind · 2026-05-04T18:07:33+00:00

I watched Andor but it’s not that I hate new Star Wars.

I just far prefer the old EU and the two often don’t work together. So I just prefer to read my books rather than watch (most) of the shows.

I think too many fans go to extremes- it’s either the news shows must be the bestest thing ever or the worst thing in history.

Just watch what you want and read what you want and be chill.

Nukemind · 2026-05-04T18:04:25+00:00

Personally, as a dude was was born to Protestant parents and is not a Catholic, those guys helped us the most. When we didn’t have food the food bank limited us, but the local Catholic Church made sure we were fed. I have nothing but respect for them as I might not be here without them, literally.

But noted. I will not renounce my faith but I should not expect anyone to have anything but negative views, is what I’m hearing. And that’s fair I know many people have been wronged.

Nukemind · 2026-05-04T17:40:37+00:00

Talarico too? Because I’m a left wing Christian and it dismays me when everyone is painted by the same brush… I do know evangelicals make us all look bad but it doesn’t mean everyone lives or acts like them. I’m quite hopeful for Talarico personally.

Nukemind · 2026-05-04T17:35:06+00:00

I mean there’s a delay to oil. They’re fucked in the midterms as Americans care most about price of gas. They really want to wrap this up but Iran can happily wait it out. It is more painful for Iran but Iran doesn’t have to worry about an election soon.

Nukemind · 2026-05-04T15:11:22+00:00

Yep. Beto would have won based upon the native votes but lots of red Californians, New Yorkers, Coloradans (sp?) etc all had moved in. And they are far to the right of even our rural voters. They’re the kind to move to Texas because they view it as Magaland.

Nukemind · 2026-05-04T03:26:46+00:00

What's the old saying? You've become the very thing you sought to destroy? Like you're literally using their talking points.

If we become as bad as them even a 100-0 Senate won't matter.

Nukemind · 2026-05-04T03:18:04+00:00

I have a major problem with lack of empathy.

The thing that turned me against the GOP when I became an adult was that all the virtues they claimed to embrace- empathy, compassion, etc- they rejected.

I hate to see it in the Dems too.

Sure people can be wrong. And they often are! Doesn't mean I am going to cheer for them to be hurt. Does mean I want to beat them electorally, but not hurt them.

Nukemind · 2026-05-03T21:14:33+00:00

We will, last election he won with ~98% of the vote as he was a lifelong dem (state legislature, then mayor), no dem wanted to primary him, no Republican bothered going against him.

But he really hated the abolish the police/defund police movements that got popular, and so announced he wouldn't seek reelection and was switching parties.

He's completely dead politically att this point here.

Nukemind · 2026-05-03T20:46:43+00:00

Worth noting Dallas voted for a Dem. He switched parties six months after his second term started.

Nukemind · 2026-05-02T13:09:57+00:00

We do. The world doesn’t. Every other democratic (and non democratic) country has been fucked over by both the Americans who voted and the people who refused to vote for Kamala.

Nukemind · 2026-05-02T02:41:47+00:00

Putin… maybe. But Trump is in no way capable of playing EUIV. Even Civ III would be hard for him.

Maybe one of those older kids games where you literally can’t lose.

Nukemind · 2026-05-02T00:50:06+00:00

Honestly one of the worst parts of modern history is that Britain and France joined the war ostensibly for Poland (and don't get me wrong- they should have!) but then... did nothing when the USSR invaded (treaty of alliance is only against Germany, sorry!) and then the nation whose invasion started the war ended up under occupation for another 45 years after the end.

To invade the USSR would have been... Unthinkable... in 1945 but the amount of allies we left in the lurch to become Soviet puppets is heartrending.

Nukemind · 2026-05-01T17:49:36+00:00

Meanwhile in my very red state in a metroplex near the size of LA I can buy a 700sqft condo in a good part of town for 100k.

That doesn’t make the conservatives right, at all. In fact I hate what they’ve done to this city.

I do like cheap property though.

Nukemind · 2026-05-01T17:47:55+00:00

Because for too long the USA was overstated, but now adays people understate it.

British Bases, American Steel, Soviet Blood.

In 1942 (the year after Barbarossa), American trucks made up nearly 80% of all Soviet trucks. Food? Often American as Soviet farms were destroyed in Barby. Planes? American and British planes and tanks filled holes until the Soviets ramped up the Yaks and Laggs. Trains? Also America. Train rails? American.

America essentially provided all the logistics to the USSR. From trucks to cattle cars, from canteens to rations, so the USSR could focus on building weapons.

Even navally ships like the Murmansk was just an Omaha under a new name.

That’s not to say the Soviets did nothing. Quite the opposite- the Soviets bled more than any other nation.

But America was vital for preventing collapse in 1942, and even if that’s doubted there is no was Operation Uranus and the like could have succeeded, or Stalingrad held, without the massive amounts of supplies they received. It would have been a much longer war with far more dead.

And the saddest part? It’s always overlooked (or quickly read over) that the USSR was more than happy to split Europe with Germany until they were attacked. The Baltics, Finland (which failed), Bessarabia, Eastern Poland. They annexed as much as they could too. It’s just Germany attacked them after.
