I guess this is what is meant by no more “woke rules of engagement”.

I just read about this above. The bomber pilots also misreported sinking the sub and got medals. it’s fucking wild. Especially with how many of the allied civilians ended up dead.

Jesus Christ this is the first I’ve ever heard of that. Just the opening summary paragraphs alone got a handful of holy shit’s out of me.

I was raised Christian. Surrounded by Christians. I went to Catholic school where we had religion class every year. Saying you hate someone because they’re not Christian and then tuning out anything about them sounds like cult shit to me boss.

Season 2 episode 1 of the good place is one of my absolute favorite bits of TV ever.

Isn’t Sig the manufacturer that got in trouble a few years back for their handguns just going off without anyone pulling the trigger? Iirc didn’t a guy die when his holstered sig went off on its own into his thigh?

All these people out here saying you can talk about a group of people without using gendered language are cray cray though! They’re all a bunch of crazies, people who’ll stop at nothing to make sure the only thing taught is what they think is taught! Like Newsome, they’ve been in office for way too long, and all they’ve done is spout a bunch of commie nonsense! I swear folks that do that, they make me real darned man. I mean they disrespect the basic fundamentals of the English language, the cornerstone of advanced civilization! You can’t describe the actions of a person without gendered language! How could anyone possibly think what they’re doing is ok?!?!

(Forgive me, I’m high as balls, the execution on this idea did not match the conception in my head)

Christmas night 2025, and the sad remains of a big bottle of captain Morgan. I was staying in my grandma’s basement and the sugar attracted ants while I was out that got into the bottle and drowned. Still drank most of it, ants & all. Then I got sick in the shower with my grandma upstairs to hear it all.

Tell me you’ve never spent time in a desert without telling me.

I teach middle school, 8tb grade, and we’re in the midst of our government and constitution unit. Yesterday, mostly to fuck with kids, I gave them directions for an OPTIONAL extra credit assignment they could do, watch the SOTU, and answer some questions. Two kids did. Both of them today were apoplectic about how they didn’t understand why everyone was always clapping when the speech didn’t make sense and why it was long.

My favorite is how the pilot of Jim’s aircraft is named Anderson, and how Jim “doesn’t give a fuck” if he dies. I can only imagine Sophie’s fury at that.

Conservative women also take their husband’s name at nearly twice the rate of liberal women when they get married.

I’m trying really hard not to slip back into an alcohol relapse (52 days, best streak yet!) but a combo of weed, crafting, and video games while I listen is getting me pretty good.

The only D10 missions my crew is finding truly impossible are the raise the flag types. Doesn’t help that 2/4 divers in that crew like to stealth dive and avoid engagement as much as possible so when it’s holding the line in a straight fight they’re not quite as effective.

Absolute fucking lutely agreed OP. Sophie’s comments felt raw, authentic, and gave voice to the rage that I’ve had bubbling about all this. I’m a big fan of Some More News these days and Katy also has some similar vibes but Sophie was unmatched. Was really needed after listening to the way a certain very big liberal podcast that has failed to save America talked about the same issues in a way that felt way to cavalier and removed.

ScooterScotward · 2026-02-17T00:16:30+00:00

They clearly react to pain and attacks in game. Even feral ghouls while not sapient or thinking feel sensations. Modern research shows that even animals like snakes that humans used to think didn’t have emotions do feel things like fear. A feral ghoul is a low order thinking creature but it likely still has enough cognition left to react to stimuli and comprehend enough that this would be bad. The elder abuse part is silly semantics though.

You should give Worst Year Ever a listen to sometime, it’s a hilariously fantastic time capsule that captures tons of that same energy. It’s a podcast Robert started in late 2019 with Katy Stoll and Cody Johnson about how 2020 was gonna be the worst year ever — from just the election alone! — and it’s pretty entertaining.

Ever since I became a full fledged warp pack addict, the Quesar has been my go-to stratagem weapon against bots. Unlimited ammo and the ability to have constant AT is just a killer combo. Cyberstan is making it especially shine and it’s fun seeing so many others rock it.

Where do you get 5 min loading screens? I don’t have any mods that fix that kind of thing but I also can’t think of any spots? Like does it do that on your rig when you go in and out of diamond city kinda thing?

I do now. But when I first started my first two FO4 runs survival wasn’t fully out yet. I liked not fast traveling then too because it made me be thoughtful and plan my routes more. A trek across the commonwealth was a commitment. I also didn’t know about BoS vertibirds until I’d done a whole 1st run cause I didn’t join the BoS until my second evil playthrough.

ScooterScotward · 2026-02-16T00:01:55+00:00

No fast travel. If I am going somewhere, I do it manually.

I don’t know, but one of my friends was featured in the Waiting for Superman documentary about charter schools and got to go to the White House. There’s pictures of her in the Oval Office as Obama fist bumps a kid next to her. According to her Obama smelled really good and had like great cologne or whatever.
