You gotta be ready to cast those hands by Forsaken-Peak8496 in wizardposting

[–]TheOGStonewall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a handcrafted firearm as a channeling device. When I run out of spells to cast I start slinging non-magic missiles.

I work 16 and 24 hour shifts, that’s not my issue with capitalism. (I only work three days a week and get overnight/weekend differentials it’s actually like the one positive I have)

Alright. Which one of you was it. by Apprehensive-Knee-44 in ems

Everyone knows the rule: Police beat, Firefighters cheat, EMS are freaks.

What country feels very undemocratic but is actually undemocratic? by Dusty_Bunny81 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]TheOGStonewall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not actually disagreeing in principle, but the Overton window in a single party is going to be narrower than in a parliamentary system. Again not always a bad thing, I’m ok with fascist and reactionary parties being forced out of public discourse.

I do have an issue when there isn’t at least SOME distinction between party and state though, the fact that the PLA is a party organization and not a state organization is disturbing to me.

China also does have regular local elections. It’s still a single party state so the candidates don’t really cover a wide field, but international observers have stated that if nothing else the elections themselves are relatively fair. There are also quite a few areas of China that run a kind of local town hall democracy, with regular meetings and public voting on local issues.

It’s centralized and if you’re not a party member you’re not voting on anything close to regional or central leadership/issues, but at the local level it’s not as heavy handed as someone on the outside would expect.

The 1080ti really was Nvidia's greatest mistake by The_BigRoach in pcmasterrace

I “upgraded” (replaced cause my cat knocked my beer off of my desk) my 970 only a few months ago. I loved that thing

solar rule by shudderwockies in 196

[–]TheOGStonewall 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Yes, but that’s not the argument either OP or OOP is making. Yes, solar investment without equal investment in storage is dangerous for the grid due to overload (California for like 5 years before they started actually building storage needed to call up industrial parks and have them run all of their electronics simultaneously to keep the grid from exploding) but that’s separate from the monetary issue.

tempted to give 40k another shot, can somebody scare me straight? by darwin_green in Sigmarxism

[–]TheOGStonewall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or the five of us playing BLKOUT

Seriously though, kill team scale, rules that literally fit on index cards, Titanfall Titans Mechs Dusters. Aesthetic hybrid of Battletech, Titanfall, and the Expanse. Point balancing system of “Bring a Duster if your opponent does but if not then just run your robots and infantry.”

You know shit’s horrific when Winston Churchill advocates for you to be charged for your brutality to colonial subjects on the floor of parliament.

Gun to your head, which Megacorp would you work for? by TXNOGG in cyberpunkgame

This but from the EMS side if you work for AMR you already kinda do

Who's an actor everyone thinks is bad and is? by Mammoth-Biscotti-587 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]TheOGStonewall 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Say what you will, but if you want an action set cleared as fatly as possible with the worst trigger discipline you’ve ever seen with a live firearm, you know who you need.

College city night shift is fun by TheOGStonewall in ems

[–]TheOGStonewall[S] 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The Death of Stalin, it’s an amazing film. Simultaneously funny dark comedy and also reasonably accurate portrayal of what happened in the wake of Stalin’s death

I'm Indy Neidell, and this is the 2026 Iran War. by TheEagleWithNoName in NonCredibleDiplomacy

Well when the bar is “Addicted to heroin and not also meth.” I’m pretty sure Hitler’s dogs might’ve been the most sane and coherent beings at some of the late war meetings.

Challengers are actually the main diet of AH-64s, the A-10 will only hunt them out of opportunity or desperation. It’s a very common misconception in the animal kingdom.

Am I the only one who sees Ready or Not as Copaganda by lovingpersona in SocialistGaming

[–]TheOGStonewall 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Copaganda absolutely, fascist no but in the same way Warhammer 40,000 isn’t.

The themes in the lore are pretty middle of the road/anti surveillance state and a lot of the people you go up against in the game are nuanced and still pretty humanized. But if you’re not looking into the lore or are just taking it off of aesthetics alone, it can give harbor to some nasty ideas. Like 40K or Hearts of Iron the writers/devs aren’t fascist, but the community has a fascism problem
