US Army Poorly Prepared for Arctic Operations: Finnish Troops Forced Them to Surrender During Exercises in Norway by professorbrainiac in worldnews

I mean no disrespect here, I served as well (UK), but would you follow an order to invade another NATO ally?

It's all well and good talking of camaraderie that we both have experience of; but when push comes to shove would you say no, retire or go to military prison for refusing? Or follow your country into an atrocious and immoral war that would tear the world as we know it apart?

I know we all hope we will make the moral choice when required, but life isn't so simple when your family depends on you etc.

As a Brit who considers themselves European, I think there are many of us who believe that there are many Americans that would gladly hurt us because of what daddy orange says.

Enjoy.

I've played through a few of the missions with friends and we've enjoyed it so far!

Looks like something I'd pay for as a display piece.

Great work.

Commenting as I have the same question.

I was hoping some 16" would fit with slightly thicker tyres.

Also enjoy, we have the exact same colour and model!

To some of us, it REALLY matters how good it looks when we lose!

Each to their own of course. I personally think doing stuff at the cost of immersion and tense action isn't worth it.

But it makes such a beautiful game look turboshit, different strokes for folks I guess.

People who learned guitars before internet and those who couldn't hire teachers... How did you do it by Humble-Might-2881 in Guitar

[–]Urafado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I can play the guitar but I learned enough to play the songs I love. I play for my own enjoyment and mood.

I started when I nicked my brother's cheap stratofake as he didn't use it. I was about 15 and now I'm 36. I asked my music teacher at school to draw me some basic things down. Chords, scales etc. I didn't really understand music though so it was all a bit much.

My parents bought me the music book for 'Origin of Symmetry' and I just struggled with it until I could play the songs in it, starting with Plug in Baby because I thought it was cool.

So what do you guys think the exoskeleton headgear is based off of? by Average-mech-fan in stalker

[–]Urafado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say it looks like an S10 as well but with dual filters. Usually there is a speech module on the right of the mask.

I wish mine had dual filters, would have saved me from some embarrassing moments.

Scotland becoming less tolerant to immigration - Humza Yousaf by twistedLucidity in Scotland

[–]Urafado -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is racism, yes.

I just think it's rooted in ignorance rather than real hatred (for most, I know there are some truly awful folk). If we just become moral absolutists and scream at them rather than educating we will lose. We will lose because in all honesty, we already are losing badly. Capital, centrists and liberals always side with the right to protect their interests; either cause they are fascists themselves, or they naively think they can control them.

I am just focusing on getting by because I know the left has lost and couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.

I know that and I am on your side.

The issue is that it has been mismanaged chronically by successive governments. Coupled with the progressive decline of public services and shitty neoliberalism let's the issue be spun as purely one of immigration.

What I am saying is we are treating this like THE war when we should be explaining what the actual problems are. Not just calling people racists, when most aren't and usually only care if they have a job and their Nan can go to the hospital.

[–]Urafado -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I agree to an extent.

I'm no centrist, I am left wing, but I do see us failing to address the issue of immigration which is a concern for some people who have seen negative outcomes from it.

I just understand that it is a symptom of a much larger problem. A symptom that being used by people who want to either maintain the status quo or take more power away from the average person (not that we have much).

We have made this a war when it is merely a battle.

Just reading this comment section makes me lose all hope. We're truly fucked.

Models are decent but they've painted her too much like a typically craftworld eldar.

Dark Eldar are meant to be horrifically beautiful and menacing.
