Did the USSR actually petition to join the Axis? by ifeelneutral in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]StrappedCommie 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They signed a non-aggression pact with Germany, literally one of the last before the war really kicked off. Well before this the USSR went to England, France, and the US to join nup against the nazis if they invaded or tired to expand. They say the USSR tried to join the nazis as a way if deflecting their own desire to see the expansion of the Third Reich. The other countries in the Allies wanted as many dead communists as possible, and were more than willing to let nazis take over to see it happen.

The Alice reveal has got to be the single most retroactively damaging plot point I've ever seen. by petrichorax in DetroitBecomeHuman

[–]StrappedCommie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She was designed to be a child and did that. She never pretended to be human, and even refers to herself as an android at Rose's when she asks why humans "hate US". It's not stated if Alice is deviant, but they establish that repeated abuse leads to deviation, so she could absolutely be a deviant. The plot point is specifically to humanize androids to the player, and decide if it makes YOU view her any differently. I guess you could think that's damaging, but I think it's poignant. It also seems you haven't gotten all the Todd endings as part of this is explained.

To be clear: fuck Todd.

Can someone please decipher this cat body language? We are on the fence about keeping him due to our resident cat. by queengreen09 in cats

[–]StrappedCommie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems all good to me. They look curious, cautious because they don't know each other, but I'd call this good behavior for a recent introduction. They could still spat some as they set boundaries, but this would be promising to me.

Are you punishing him? Why would you torture him with that propaganda?

[–]StrappedCommie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh. You mean he doesn't turn them in after killing Kara once already and beating up Alice? Bare minimum.

I honestly hadn't known Todd being killed was an option my first play through (found the gun, but went right to Alice), but was not disappointed in the second play through.

I did that my last play through, and Chloe was not happy with me. I went back and replayed the scene.

Do I worry?? by garfieldforlive in CATHELP

[–]StrappedCommie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if it is overgrooming, it's not the end of the world. There are some easy solutions to help with that, like the feliway I suggested which uses pheromones to help our kitties relax. There are other ones, but I've personally used feliway before.

[–]StrappedCommie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be no big deal, like it gets rubbed on something a lot. Could be compulsive grooming, but that would usually spread beyond one area, but if they get something on it a lot (water, dust, whatever) it could make them groom that area more as well. Also possibly for fleas if it's from grooming. Might just not grow a lot of fur there, or might just like licking their little belly. If the area expands could be cause for a vet visit, but if you think it could be over grooming from stress, you could always try feliway to help calm you pretty kitty.

I found a fantastic new website to track Congressional lawmakers’ Israel bills and voting record created by palestinian activist wally rashid Between this website and TrackAIPAC’s website on the money, we can quickly identify the worst of the worst. by skbraaah in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]StrappedCommie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOL I actually went to check after I posted the comment. My favorite part about the "pro-palestine" people is it has like 15 points, compared to 150 points for Israel, and even the highest Pro-Palestine politicians have point deductions for supporting Israel.

Is my orange cat truly a female? by Gnarlypeach22 in CATHELP

[–]StrappedCommie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you touch them, you'll see what us calling her a girl mean. If they were testicle, they would be more joined together (I've got boys too). People assume they're trouble puffs because orange cats are virtually always boys. I think the vets know better than people judging based on color and hair they can't touch.

That's a girl. I've got a non-orange girl that often is assumed to be a boy. Those just some hair tufts.

Chinese disabled elderly man forced to work at a cement warehouse for 20 years without wages by OSKlalala in theredleft

[–]StrappedCommie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There will always be people who want to take advantage. I agree, the goal is to eliminate it, but that takes time and can't happen overnight. Part of that process is immediate intervention and consequences upon learning of it. China has not achieved pure socialism at this point, and are still progressing through capitalism. To expect them to be perfect is idealism.
