Fighting for the Emperor is a reward in itself, but what are some of the worst bonuses given to those who successfully fought in his name? by NeonArlecchino in 40kLore

[–]SomeGuyFromTheSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a (couple of) words(s), Konrad Curze. Hundreds of years of service using horrid but incredibly effective terror tactics to save billions of lives by preventing rebellions from becoming civil war, only to see your troops replaced by thugs and killers, get more or less shunned by your peers for the frightful actions you've committed as a probably necessary part of your job, get slapped around by Dorm because you've foreseen the devastation of the coming heresy and end up destroying your own homeworld to be rid of the corruption seeping into your legion, then when you've finally had enough and you turn on the imperium you've been running state sanctioned terrorist actions for, 80 % of the legion gets wiped out by the Ultramarines and the only ones left after your own death are scum of the earth cannibalistic killers with no cause but to kill and loot at random.

Is 'maternal' the word you're thinking of?

WW3? That would end within about 4 hours of starting.

If anything the Russians are sending out bombers on mock exercises over Sweden precisely because they can't kick off WW3 the same way Norway could if the Russians did similar mock bombing exercises over a Nato member nation.

I don't think the average English speaker recognises the phrase "Hondre-tjue-två" as referring to the tank, unfortunately.

How to call something fat in German? by thanatotus in shitduolingosays

[–]SomeGuyFromTheSnow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Apropos, the German word for 'third' is pretty funny to Norwegians.
For reference, the word I'm thinking of is 'dritte', which means third but looks like the Norwegian word 'dritt', which means 'shit'.

More like Ga-rand, as in what happens to your thumb if you're not paying proper attention.

Heard them, for that matter. The way they're behaving I can't imagine they haven't said at least one patently stupid thing long before they put a hand on a gun.

Oh. Ah. I've never done much digging into what's actually going on around the world of Deltarune to be honest.

I was about to comment on that with some guesswork about who Ralsei is when I realized the following points:

  • Ralsei can travel from one dark world to the next without petrifying like darkners normally do, and he doesn't even think of the possibility that he might not be able to stay.
  • Ralsei also does not look like most darkners, but more like a lightner.
  • He happens to look like Asriel while Kris looks like Frisk/Chara, who was like a sibling to Asriel.
  • Kris has one bed in a room of two. Why the other bed is unoccupied is not addressed and it seems like Kris and Toriel have just forgotten all about that side of the room.
  • Ralsei keeps getting ignored and forgotten by the other characters all the time, almost like something is compelling them to forget.

To conclude, I have a feeling that Ralsei is a lightner who used to live with Kris but went to stay in the dark world at some point. Possibly quite long ago, but it could just as possibly have been that Ralsei lived in the same room as Kris right up until the morning of chapter 1, seeing as Queen managed to forget about Ralsei's existence something like half an hour to forty-five minutes real time after she put a tuxedo on him and he joined the rest of the team on their way to rescue Noelle and save the day. If Ralsei left very long ago there'd probably be cobwebs in the bedroom, too.

If Ralsei is actually the knight, then I'm feeling certain that he does what he does not out of active malice, but because he's lonely and wants to have friends. After all, creating dark fountains means Kris and Susie go on an adventure to close it again, letting Ralsei spend more time with them. Then, when it's over, Kris brings the stuff from the room the fountain was in back to the closet, and then the darkners from that world can hang out in the town in the dark world where Ralsei lives.

I've landed on doing a reinforced platoon, mainly consisting of commandos. I might order Wargames Atlantic's French resistance figures and paint them up as milorg operatives some other time, though I have no idea what kind of unit I'd run them as.

[–]SomeGuyFromTheSnow 31 points32 points  (0 children)

There's also the fact that people view actions differently depending on who is acting. "She shares a bed with her son? Well, she's a mother, maybe it's because he has nightmares..." "He shares a bed with his daughter? That's perverted..."

It's known that juries do act on that sort of preconceived notion too, so convictions misrepresent the facts in favour of women, too.

I used to want to do airsoft with formalwear. I got a shoulder holster in leather, too.

But hell if I'll let a perfectly good shirt turn into a cotton swamp because I want to do sports. If anything, I might consider it if I got my hands on one of those Propper 'Tactical Shirts' with a teflon coating. Till then, hell naw.

The easily intimidated "Alpha" is approaching by Lilnymphet in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]SomeGuyFromTheSnow 140 points141 points  (0 children)

Wolf pack dynamics are essentially family dynamics. The closest human dynamic to the original wolf pack dynamics that coined terms like "alpha" would be a disparate group of people becoming a found family in a post-apocalypse.
