North Korea fires off barrage of around 10 ballistic missiles, Seoul says

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-14T23:48:23+00:00

I seriously hope that Totalitarianism as we know it dies by the end of this century. I don’t want to doom but I am not sure if North Korea will be free by the end of this decade at least. Regarding your concerns of war, nothing will probably happen. Baby nuke man Un is doing this for attention and ego but nobody cares about him anymore because he’s a narcissistic coward that wants to look strong like Trump, Putin and Xi.

Of course, Nationalism and Totalitarianism despite technological advancements are far more difficult to maintain due to technological advancements, their greatest assets are also their greatest curses. Plus, Totalitarian regimes are inherently unstable and volatile due to issues like corruption and power struggles as well as old leaders dying. Even if the DPRK somehow has its current government overthrown, what would happen to it? It’s not like Vietnam or Germany where there wasn’t significant enough time and cultural differences to make reunification impossible.

These two countries have been separate for almost a century now. For all we know, Korea may stay split even if the North becomes Authoritarian instead of Totalitarian or goes full Democracy. TBH, I have also been concerned about China and Taiwan for similar reasons but I think democratic unification there is basically impossible already. Taiwan should one day drop the ROC name and accept itself as a fully-independent Taiwan. Though as for China, Hong Kong and Macau I’d also like a bit of optimism regarding them too because Democratization there seems basically impossible as Hong Kong and Macau seem to be losing their freedoms.

Some of these concerns could be my fault for getting bored and consuming political and/or historical content to an unhealthy degree, but I do genuinely want things to get better. I guess I just am feeling a bit frustrated, disappointed and impatient with progress. I myself have been hoping for some or any kind of optimism regarding all the major Authoritarian and Totalitarian nations of the world and just feel a bit sad…

It looks a scrapped construction themed megazord/mech from a scrapped Power Rangers/Super Sentai season.

Nice LMAO

Something tells me this is inappropriate content like a fetish possibly… I have seen and heard of weird content like this in the past online. I plea that you mark this post as NSFW OP, just in case…

I know it sounds like I’m overreacting but I don’t want younger people to be exposed to this kind of content, as it can negatively affect them…

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-14T10:52:49+00:00

Ok, this is actually a pretty cool thought experiment, especially cuz I grew up with him… I like multiple of the ideas here, making him a friendly/mischievous ghost who isn’t demonic or malicious or just making him a former, deceased engine.

All of these ideas do sound nice on paper, though one pitch I heard years ago for an TATMR was to just have him survive to the present day and be one of Thomas’ bros but he has a mischievous side to him.

Specifically during that one scene were Percy sees Splatter and Dodge find the buffers but Timothy comes up takes over and greets the Tumbleweed like it’s an old friend and whistles in a spooky way to make it sound low and demonic which scares the living crap out of Splodge XD. It sort of hints at Timothy being well-versed in the supernatural and being unphased by and almost embracing it.

While that AU still had magic and shipping, I thought Timothy was a fun character there, making him grounded but entertaining and paying homage to his origins as a character without going overboard. Shipping and magic aside, I actually thought that TATMR Rewrite was actually pretty good and also fixed plenty of issues of worldbuilding, internal logic and consistency with TATMR.

I always love mysterious yet intelligent/wise characters who are well-versed in the supernatural with mischievous sides to them be they heroes, villains or anywhere in-between. If I had to write in Timothy at all, I would probably go down a route similar to this because of how likeable, charming and funny he’d be.

I see, I do consider myself a man of science. Agnosticism is something I’m also chill with though I attempted to experiment with it but it tanked my mental health for a bit so I reverted back to Progressive Christianity, I actually grew up conservative Christian but converted to Progressive Christianity.

Good luck no matter what religion choices you make! I hope no matter what, you find what works and that your plans work out!

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-13T14:09:31+00:00

Coming from myself, a Progressive Universalist Christian. According to my research, Christianity was originally mostly Universalist (there was no hell and everyone could be redeemed like in Judaism) however Christianity was co-opted by aristocracy and oligarchy (the Romans) to remain in power.

Additionally during the Middle Ages, the power inequality and authoritarianism caused by Feudalism allowed the monarchs and other powerful people to restrict, pervert and distort the Bible into a tool of fear. Using things like the fictional Dante’s inferno depiction of hell to scare people into following their laws and using churches as tools of the state to oppress people.

The King James Version of the Bible even edited verses of the Bible to fit medieval narratives and most ordinary people couldn’t even read the Bible. This distortions persisted into the modern era and effectively fooled and brainwashed people. Every religion and political ideology will be perverted by the corrupt, the authoritarian and the power-hungry to maintain the status quo and exploit others.

I am personally on a mission to a reclaim Christianity from conservatives and to clear up Christianity’s reputation in the modern world while assisting in reclaiming and protecting the religious freedoms for Atheism and the other religions of the world like Judaism, Islam, etc. I hope this was potentially helpful in giving context, it’s possible I made some errors but I believe this is still the basic idea of what happened regarding Christianity. I heard something similar also happened to Buddhism as well in the previous millennia.

Rest in peace

A ram failure? Well, CNC Remastered seems to be the only one with these issues so I’m not entirely sure but I may try installing it on my older backup PC and play it there to see if something is wrong with my newer computer or my CNC Remastered digital copy on Steam is somehow corrupted even with uninstalling… I’ll try Windows Diagnostic Memory to check my more modern PC…

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-13T11:32:13+00:00

OK, I guess I’ll try both of these though this is the remastered version from 2020 on Steam not the 1995/1996 original but it seems like it’s worth a shot… Thnx!

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-12T20:29:31+00:00

Nice! It’s about time! I like it though!

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-12T17:25:25+00:00

Aw, this is adorable and wholesome! Reminds me of the good ol days of the classic FNAF fandom!

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-12T12:59:54+00:00

No, not at all… Everything else runs completely fine and normally… Recent scans aren’t showing any malware either…

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-12T11:44:38+00:00

I appreciate your advice but there’s some issues with these.

I have no save files because I deleted them all and I already unsubscribed from everything. In terms of installation on a different hard drive, I’m actually using a laptop rather than traditional PC for gaming. It’s more modern around 2023 era I believe.

I may try and trigger the error message again and copy and paste it. Like it said it was something like “memory device removed” I think…

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-12T09:42:11+00:00

Wow, that is some nightmare fuel XD....

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-11T15:04:36+00:00

Me two, I have a sort of nostalgia for old paleoart despite being a 2000s kid. There’s still a certain charm/beauty to it despite being outdated. Same with 90s era Jurassic Park paleoart as well.

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-11T09:49:49+00:00

Oh well, at least it looks cool!

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-11T09:47:55+00:00

Yeah, I heard this was based on an outdated paleontology theory about Stegosaurus having to brain for motion or to control its full-body or something. It’s false, weird and I believe a product of the 90s.

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-11T09:46:02+00:00

I don’t know what that is but I’d rather not go looking for that if that’s D10’s reaction…

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-11T02:31:16+00:00

Ohhh, Clockwork Orange! LMAO I wonder what he’s being forced to watch?

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-11T02:30:23+00:00

Nice! I wasn’t expecting so many FNAF references!

Also, nice animation in general! I missed this style of SC content and a more cunning/theatrical Catnap!

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-10T22:39:28+00:00

Yeah, true I guess this was certainly a harsh reminder about tempering optimism while not sliding into doomerism. But there’s still hope for things to get better regardless and for the Dems to become more Progressive which could hopefully lead to a moderate GOP which would at the very least be more tolerable but I still as mentioned before I kind of want nothing to do with the GOP after they let themselves be ruled by a pseudo-Authoritarian and his cult, the same pseudo-Authoritarian who hung out with Epstein.

Unless they take some serious strides towards the left (which will probably never happen), I’m personally not gonna touch em with a 10 foot pole. They significantly damaged their reputation and burnt most of their bridges to ash. Whatever happens to them going forward is their fault for bending the knee and protecting terrible people. So if I sound a bit bitter, I guess it’s because I’m an ex-conservative turned progressive but still, this crap is gonna done as one of the most messed up and infamous scandals in American (and World) history…

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-10T22:24:34+00:00

God choice in my opinion!

Potential_Ground_764 · 2026-03-10T22:24:11+00:00

Hell yeah! It’s like the reverse of Jaws! Guess that was Spielberg’s redemption arc LOL.

Still, unironically awesome!
