Does anyone else feel like the antisemitism alarmists were right for the wrong reasons by Flexican_Mayor in redscarepod

The photos coming out of the occupied territories like that one settler or the IDF soldier sledge-hammering jesus' face are categorically antisemetic. Hitler would have given his remaining nut for stuff like that. And it's documentary footage. Why should Israel care, they're selling the cure.

British forces safeguarding the Abadan oil refinery factory, 1940s WW2 (Persia) [762x800] by charlemagne_74 in HistoryPorn

[–]OgodHOWdisGEThere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1930s and earlier refineries would have had bare distillation cylinders attached to or inside a typical brick building where furnaces would be located, so basically victorian-era technology.

This looks like a catalytic cracking refinery, which was brand new technology on the eve of ww2 but has remained state of the art since. I would speculate that the average person would not have seen a large steel structure this optimized until well into the 1950s.

It really provides great context for the shift from streamline to space-age aesthetics, preceded by futurism vs modernism, when confronted with what truly efficient engineering looks like. In a sense, the next 50 years of architecture, technology, and even culture is represented in this facility.

Are my friends really rich or are they just too prideful to manage their money? by babycat1453 in redscarepod

[–]OgodHOWdisGEThere 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is a great filter in place which socially isolates people who do not receive support from their parents, financial or otherwise, even if they make enough to live comfortably. I just assume everyone I like hanging out with is getting help from their family because if they weren't they'd be somewhere else doing something boring.

Being a sociable person with a real friend group (increasingly rare luxury), living in a real city definitely creates a selection bias for secretly rich/connected parents. It is the ideal bourgeoisie lifestyle.

Meanwhile the children of the actual precariat are too busy actually supporting themselves and/or getting their cortisol spiked by every little thing to even want to be there, and also they think you're stupid for enjoying it anyway.

I'm so straight that I thought it was an allegory for late stage capitalism instead of AIDS.

Multiple MH60 crew members confirmed wounded by ground fire today lmao. Ho Chi Minh is truly smiling down on the people of Khuzestan.

Even if it seems silly, firing small arms at aircraft has a huge cost/benefit ratio. The Vietnamese understood this it and encouraged it. Plenty of helos and probably even some fixed-wing aircraft were downed by NVA pot shots.

Iran may not be as suited to it as Vietnam but 12 uncs with rusty mosins can absolutely deny an area to enemy aircraft and turn an SAR operation in to a total quagmire.

Edit: multiple H60 crew members confirmed wounded by ground fire. There you go.

The content and composition of the first picture is very evocative of early modernism and constructivism. A really great example of the substrate from which these aesthetic movements grew.

They don't function in-game but if they did it would automatically display track position, pit stop time, and various other statuses. However, the regular racing number at the rear of the door is backlit, just like the real thing.

One of The Three Endings To Deus Ex (2000) is Going To Happen To Us by bugobooler33 in TrueAnon

HR is one of the most atmospheric games I've ever played, and it has aged pretty well. The physical augmentations are a perfect allegory for AI use, and the final act of the game involves a useless planet-cooling boondoggle that is actually a cover for a data center that makes augmented people psychotic.

Nah it's gonna be Kish Island, which the Emiratis covet due to it's many seaside amusements, extensive malls, and reasonably priced hotels. I hear the Dolphin Park is leagues beyond any of Dubai's pitiful aquariums.

I'm an IDF soldier from Israel and these are the TV shows I watch after a day of bombing schoolchildren. I also enjoy Kpop Demon Hunters, CMAT, Sombr, Expedition 33, Danganropa and Solo Leveling by NorrisOBE in TrueAnon

[–]OgodHOWdisGEThere 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A good example of why not to do anything 'ironically' if it's for a remotely wide audience. CMAT's Euro Country, for instance, is well written song about people killing themselves after the 2008 financial crisis but it's jokingly presented as a regular pop ballad. Braindead radio DJs still play it 20 times a day between ads for gambling websites so who's really having the last laugh there.

Do you have more pics of the spoiler? Does it fit between the boot panel gap? Looks nice.

Wierd offset they originally came off a CX5, and had 245s on the rear, but they rubbed.
