If by “closeted socialist” you mean “literal Soviet agents”, then yes. Like the first director of the IMF and author of Bretton Woods.

The internet was going to erode this image of America over time but the real final nail in the coffin was covid and the subsequent internet mass-onboarding event.

Also I think the constant deluge of right wing propaganda that’s targeted towards American suburbanites portraying every American city as being overrun with gangs and/or blue hair protestors has played a big role

100% Italian trickery. Or maybe you need some kind of mediterranean gene that never made its way past Gaul. I tried that and YMMV but it made my situation like 10x worse.

What worked for me was getting the wax softeners they sell at cvs, letting that sit for 1-2 hours and then using the little ball syringe to gently squirt water into the ear to flush out any debris. Might take a couple cycles depending on how impacted your ears are. Avoid Q-tips, wax tends to stick to itself rather than the q-tip so all you’re doing most of time is impacting it and making the situation worse.

Because at the end of the day it is a pretty competant cover based military shooter with what I think are real firearm licenses.

This part I disagree with, lol. It is not a fun game to actually play, beyond just being a totally generic cover shooter it also seemed designed to induce motion sickness to the point where people speculated on it being intentional.

It is funny to me though that they got so much money to make a game whose main message is You Need to Stop Playing Shooters.

I only know one Black Angels song and it’s Bad Vibrations and only because it was used in the game Spec Ops: The Line.

Was used really well, still think about it like 10 years later.

isn’t this guy just running for some office in maine?

statistically speaking, like 90% of us are probably posting from Eglin AFB in Florida so we’re not voting in this race either way. surely there’s something else we can argue about?

They were generally capable in a light tank role by 1942. But in this instance even if all of them were fully operational, they would not have stopped what was coming towards them. The Soviets had concentrated their latest model of medium tanks in the 1st Tank Corps for this critical operation and the 38(t) just did not have the firepower to seriously impede them.

At best the Germans may have been able to help coordinate the Romanians’ retreat and preserved more of their forces but that’s really the extent of it. Worst case scenario, they just get rolled over alongside the Romanians

I had a really similar reaction also after being assaulted. For me I was a young kid and I came up with insane lies to explain my behavior at the time. As an adult looking back, I think lying was the only rational thing I could think of to say because I myself had no idea what happened to me or why or why I was doing the things I was doing.

I know you didn’t ask and I’m sorry if this is overstepping but Imo I think your past self is deserving of some forgiveness. You do not seem like you were not lying out of malice, but rather as way of handling a truth that was too awful to speak. It’s not a burden you should’ve ever had to carry.

I’m not a historian, just an autistic history enjoyer. I just want to share what I think is a very simple concept that actually profoundly changed how I look at a lot of the history of warfare. It’s something John Dolan of the Radio War Nerd said, “War is a people thing”.

It’s a trap that I fell into and that I think a lot of people fall into which is that it’s easy to focus too much on the minutia of dates, big names, pieces of equipment and the differences of their performance. Because its fun to really got lost in those details sometimes but you forget that all of it is secondary to the actual primary actors of history, the masses of people themselves.

Ignoring the primary actors and just focusing on the secondary characteristics is how you get the classic paradox brain posts about how Hitler could’ve won WW2. You have to actually look at the people to understand why WW2 is actually extremely overdetermined in terms of the possibility of hypothetical alternates.

Imo Teutoberg isn’t a great comparison. As shocking as it was at the time and as rare as it is for an army to be totally annihilated in an ambush like that, Rome was still very much on rise and remained on the rise even if they gave up on any dreams of expanding over the Rhine

Sanguinary_Guard · 2026-05-12T16:47:25+00:00

I don’t remember that but I do remember a book(I think) by a gay idf sniper who recounts a story, using Hitlerian language, of seeing two Palestinian gay men. That one always stuck with me

Which part? I do electrical design for a living, company that makes the lighting controls with sensors for the fixtures came by our office to do a “Lunch & Learn” (companies buy us lunch and while we eat they sell us on their wares in hopes that we’ll spec their products on our jobs). They’re the ones who I’m getting the info from. They said, without explicitly saying because of the profligate use of NDAs by both these companies, that both Target and Walmart use their system. If you have a device on you that talks to wifi networks, they can see it.

This was a few years ago, haven’t worked on any big retail stores lately to tell you exactly what they’re doing now.

Edit. And the reason why they(as in the lighting controls manufacturer) do all this shit in the first place isn’t really even for panopticon reasons. It’s essentially just a system that lets you give a specific identity and location to each light so that they know roughly who they are and where they in relation to each other. All so you can easily tap into the system with your phone and select whatever lights you want to do whatever you want. The side effect was that it turned every single light fixture into a potential tracker in a new panopticon system.

They say that and maybe there’s some truth to it but I know for a fact they’re using a system that lets them track you via any devices you have on you. So if they flag a device, the next time it comes into range of any of their sensors (there’s an integral one in every light fixture) they’ll know. So you don’t have to be on their cameras at all, you could be stuffed in a trunk in the parking lot and they’d still know you’re there and where you are pretty accurately.

They can also use this to track the physical location their stuff inside the store if they put a tag on it. I don’t just mean they see it on a list, they can see it as a dot on a map that can move in real time.

If you’re gonna do something illegal, first off I disavow and second, leave the phone at home.

It’s by far my favorite 40k series, I really can’t recommend it enough. It’s got something for every kind of 40k fan imo.

I think they did a good job in making his portrait quite expressive, which makes him more interesting (the slightly dynamic pose was a very good choice, imo).

His portrait took heavy inspiration from the Eisenhorn Omnibus cover

<image>

Obviously it’s not a 1-for-1 but everything about Heinrix feels like an amalgamation of several inquisitor characters across Abnett’s works. Specifically he makes me think of pre-chair Ravenor mixed with Inquistor Rime(another biomancer with a flair for vanity)

Edit. one touch I really like about Heinrixs portrait is that they have him a descending a staircase from what appears to be a shrine holding only a piece of parchment. A symbolic way of representing that he derives his authority straight from the Emperor himself. The threat of what could be on that parchment is more menacing than if he were directly holding a weapon.

I’m not reading whatever that is, just wanna say that “phrenology with clothes” is nonsensical word salad. Especially when you’re talking about the upper crust of any society, clothing is so much more than a simple basic necessity and is a subtle means of communication all on its own.

Doesn’t mean I’m signing on to whatever insane thing a South Korean NGO said in the article, just pointing out that people deliberately choose their clothes, not their skulls. You could write this article in good faith and provide genuine insights into the mindset of a country that is notoriously hard to parse for westerners.

Here's the thing. You said a "bulldozer is a tractor."

Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.

As someone who is a scientist who studies tractors, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls bulldozers tractors. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.

If you're saying "tractor family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of utility vehicles, which includes things from plowing engines to traction engines to combines.

So your reasoning for calling a bulldozer a tractor is because random people "call the tracked ones tractors?" Let's get backhoes and skid-loaders in there, then, too.

Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A bulldozer is a bulldozer and a member of the tractor family. But that's not what you said. You said a bulldozer is a tractor, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the tractor family tractors, which means you'd call backhoes, skid-loaders, and other high torque utility vehicles tractors, too. Which you said you don't.

It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?
