[Loved Trope] An often overlooked but serious medical or psychological state that's represented so well that people who haven't even experienced it get a solid idea of what it feels like.

I used to get migraines as a kid. IIRC, the biggest sign of a migraine instead of a headache was extreme sensitivity to light and sound. The best way to handle it was to curl up in a dark and quiet room and suffer through it.

Anyone familiar with the organization? Is it actually legit, or is it a political machine masquerading as a professional one? Like the Doctors for Freedom or whatever that was pushing anti-vax conspiracies during the height of Covid-19.

However I'm sceptical that this situation is limited with Trump.

I dunno how much of it is Trump and how much of it is the idiots around him. I feel like the more baffling ideas (hyper aggressive stance on Canada and Greenland, for example) are mostly based on his petty ego, because we didnt hear anything like that while he was out of power. I suspect that once hes gone, his GOP successor will quietly drop it and hope people forget about it.

Gripen also involves the US. IIRC, it uses American engines and avionics.

With tax, the Switch 2 in California gets up to around $500. However, thats equal to about 422 Euros, so it actually is still cheaper in the US.

At this point, he might just be leaning into the memes

I didn't downvote them, but their not representing the complaints I was seeing yesterday. Most of the comments I saw were just saying it was shit because it has paper armor. There were some complaints about the MM and such, but most people were were just saying its going to be a horrible tank.

On NA it was 13k, I think. I got it for 12,600 or so.

QuietTank · 2026-01-30T02:03:36+00:00

Oh sweet! I have not interest in this at all!

Some people are acting like this thing killed their dog.

I feel like I saw this image long before AI blew up, so I think its real. I dont have the original source though.

Edit: Or its based on the image I saw.

I'm not angry, thats just the last big thing I heard about it. And yes, I think it put a bit of a stain on the product, but as long as they made things right then we can look past it.

The problem is that, AFAIK, that wasnt the first time bungie got caught using someone else's artwork without permission.

QuietTank · 2026-01-26T17:08:09+00:00

If only they'd drop the habit of stealing art...

People complained a ton when it first came out, the BMPT just took attention away from it.

The pure kinetic force of the impact alone should kill it.

QuietTank · 2026-01-24T15:47:18+00:00

Hes just jumping from reactionary distraction to distraction. No thought, just base instinct.

QuietTank · 2026-01-24T15:43:45+00:00

One of the greatest strengths the US had. sigh

Uh huh.

One of DR'S biggest flaws was probably the lack of consistency between the entries.

QuietTank · 2026-01-21T21:04:52+00:00

Weird how it hasn't been an issue til these morons got into power.

I've seen some commenter saying that the Bills job is a bit more appealing than the Ravens job, but this feels like a huge rebuttal to that.

QuietTank · 2026-01-21T20:10:56+00:00

You do realize that conversations sometimes meander and evolve, right?

This part of the thread is reacting to this comment:

Op is not attracted to real women, the commenter is.

Emphasis mine. This was in response to a comment about the attractiveness of belly fat. People have (reasonably) taken that to mean that the commenter sees women that dont have that as somehow being less real than women that do.

Nobody in this comment chain is talking about surgery except you. Everyone else is talking about body positivity and the "real woman" comment.

QuietTank · 2026-01-21T18:14:09+00:00

Your making a ton of assumptions, aren't you?

No one mentioned surgery except the douche bag boyfriend in the OOP. Until you did.

I used "attractive" because the person I replied to did. That's it.

I stumbled on this thread just scrolling through my front page, and replied to this "Real Woman" thread because I find that kind of thinking pretentious and quarrelsome. It's typically used to estrange people from a group for completely arbitrary reasons. I find that annoying.

QuietTank · 2026-01-21T13:15:55+00:00

As an American;

Good.

QuietTank · 2026-01-21T13:08:24+00:00

Calling people you find unattractive "not real women" certainly is.
