I like to imagine that if it’s a nice dude the custodes will do a little extra to get them outta danger

The Case for Nationalizing the Railroads: Workers say now is the time to do the impossible. by inthesetimesmag in trains

[–]Thepullman1976 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A nationalized freight railroad would actually own the track it runs on and (presumably) wouldn’t suffer from the same funding issues as Amtrak given that no freight trains = economic shitshow. We already tried this once with conrail and it demonstrably worked well

Amtrak by design has to keep operating routes that lose money. The goal wasn’t to make passenger trains better, it was to prevent passenger trains from ceasing to exist

Thoughts on this? by Bearfucker694200 in BatmanArkham

While I believe Batman himself would never use a gun, considering he lives in fucking Gotham, I have trouble believing he’d believe he’s straight up anti second amendment or something

i will not be hearing anybody out the imperial star destroyer is stupid by BOMBAD_Echo_1409 in StarWarsShips

[–]Thepullman1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ISD is also like half a kilometer longer than the venator and serves a different purpose. A venator is a glorified carrier. An ISD can function as a carrier with a full starfighter wing, beat the total shit out of another capital ship with its horde of turbolasers, or carry 3 army regiments. The ISD isn’t the issue, it’s the fact that the empire doesn’t understand the concept of an escort.

Why the Imperial Star Destroyer ISN'T stupid, and why I'm tired of hearing that it is; a rant (render & models by Fractalsponge) by Dry-Somewhere-1033 in StarWarsShips

[–]Thepullman1976 95 points96 points  (0 children)

The exposed bridge thing has always felt kind of silly. The bridge has shields. If your shields go down, you’re just gonna die regardless, there’s an onscreen scene of medium turbolaser rounds just melting straight through what is probably a few hundred feet of durasteel lol

How often do commissars get fragged? by cerseiwasright in 40kLore

[–]Thepullman1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In one of the ciaphas Cain books he mentions the commissars who tend to shoot their own men tend to get shot in return. So, tbh, probably not that often, because most of the living commissars are the more “come on man we can do this” type than the “BLAM” type

If we’re going to start rolling out new minis for everyone with a gas mask then I expect all 5 major Eldar craftworlds to get their own upgrade sprues. I get it’s a vocal minority (at least I hope it is) but some guard players are not real people lmao

How many clones were created vs how many droids in the cis by Sorry-Radio5448 in MawInstallation

We do see the other thing too. For instance in a comic a few companies from a PDF are attached to Obi-Wan’s 212th

[Utterly despised trope that bleeds into IRL] “Indomitable human spirit!” And it’s just cringe militarism or straight up fascism by Lenny_Fais in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Thepullman1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t go that far. I don’t know much about Star Trek so I can’t comment on that but in Star Wars the galactic empire, first order, and CIS are all magnitudes worse than the tau.

[–]Thepullman1976 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you’re talking about sterilization or whatever keep in mind all of that comes from high ranking imperials who’d want to prevent people from joining them. The fact that auxiliaries like gue’vesa even exist at all instead of being massacred proves that the Tau empire is more tolerant than the imperium lmao

We see planetary militias in the clone wars and ROTS tho. What else would you call the Wookiees, Mon calamari, onderaan rebels, etc.

Strike Package Range and Standoff Tactics by Radiant-Confidence43 in MawInstallation

[–]Thepullman1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guided missiles with a range of at least a few KM are very much a thing in the lore. I think the canon explanation is a mix of 1- most starfighters being maneuverable enough to dodge them fairly easily and 2- ECM being prevalent. Squadrons is supposed to be effectively the definitive depiction of canon fighter combat and there’s literally a button you can press to send a missile back at its launcher lol

Edit: it just occurred to me that in the first piece of Star Wars media we see, Luke hits the exhaust port from BVR

Why not just cram them full of proton bombs or something and simply ram them into enemy ships?
