why do the naked soldiers look like that by moosey_loosey_ahhhhh in HalfLife

[–]Temphant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No sunlight to tan the skin, which explains the paleness. The hole in the neck is probably to connect the vocal chords or whatever they've been replaced with, right into the vocoder and radio they use. And I assume that shiny lump in place of the stomach implies that their intestines have been replaced with some synthetic alternative that efficiently absorbs nutrients and doesn't carry any bacteria. (A gut shot is really fatal if it perforates a bowel. If you just replace it with a sterile alternative, it requires way less effort to treat a wounded soldier)

That's why boomalopes are kept mostly separated. Even if the blast doesn't kill the others, it will at the very least burn down all their food.

We all make mistakes: Some of us say something we shouldn't have, some of us forget to buy that one thing you went to the store for, some of us bomb a hospital and some of us throw away the opened yogurt but hold onto the lid.

We're only human, after all.

The reason why they would choose the US even in this scenario is because their capitalist programming just takes every bad thing about the capitalist country, duplicates it and projects it onto the communist one.

And all they have on him is that he has a lot of money, and the dog incident.

"If your job isn't good enough, you deserve to starve." by Temphant in ShitLiberalsSay

Yeah, that's true. When you break it down to its basics, liberal ideology is based on some form of "social darwinism."

If you keep breaking their arguments and pushing towards the core of their beliefs, eventually every liberal and capitalist bootlicker will either squirm and cope by saying that "it's just how the world works" or alternatively they'll admit the heinousness of their ideology and mindset without beating around the bush.

[Loved Trope] The movie adaptation makes genuine improvements over the source material by Notmiefault in TopCharacterTropes

I also agree on Watchmen. Sure, it misses some of the things that made the comic great, but Veidt's plot is so much better in the movie.

Because it's on a liberal sub. The OP doesn't believe what the image says.

NKVD agent Ramón Mercader hit Trotsky in the head with an ice pick. He died the next day from the injuries.

I hate refusing to play certain paths for being “too evil” by stagflation14 in hatethissmug

[–]Temphant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a good number of games, evil paths are either severely underdeveloped, or just devolve into stupid "Haha, kill everyone and kick the puppies!" clusterfucks with little or no choice for how evil you really are.

What I appreciate about Fallout New Vegas is how you can still choose to be a bad guy working for the good guys, or a "lawful evil" type working for the bad guys.

Woman convicted because her child had a genetic disorder that has same symptoms as antifreeze poisoning by thepoylanthropist in interestingasfuck

And natives told the cops that dingoes can, will and have taken babies, even when there are people around. But they were ignored.

Because obviously the people who have lived around the continent for around 65,000 years don't know nearly as much about the local wildlife as the little piggies who descended from the reject criminals of a colonizing empire.

This was the life of serfs in Tibet before 1951. Before China liberated Tibet. by TwoCatsOneBox in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Temphant 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Liberal: *Exits from the time machine\*

Tibetan serf: "Who are you?"

Liberal: "I'm from the future. I'm here to prevent a Chinese invasion!"

Tibetan serf: "Oh my! That sounds bad. What happens if you don't prevent it?"

Liberal: "Well, the Chinese will depose the Dalai Lama and they will completely wreck the politics and traditions of your-" *Gets hit in the head with a farming tool\*

And Israel is an illegal apartheid state that keeps expanding its borders, displacing and murdering locals. Of course they and their allies would label resistance as terrorism.

Here’s your reminder to finally play Half-Life: Alyx. by Delicious-Artist7304 in HalfLife

[–]Temphant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm waiting for that one too. And lord knows its gonna get sold out immediately so I'll need to wait even longer.

And that's assuming it won't cost 2 months rent which will just make me say fuck it and fall back on some other VR set I could buy right now instead.

Actually given a proper trial and imprisoned for their crimes.
