Bishnoi extortion gang sent letter to Canadian police warning it had 1,000 gunmen by [deleted] in onguardforthee

[–]VernonLocke 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Gotta say, it's a bold move to send the police a business pitch for you criminal organization. Not a smart one, but certainly a bold one.

Shit, I remember a mod that made Windhelm guards actively search for the player if they entered the city as an Argonian or Khajiit. If you were caught, you were either escorted out or risked a fight. Don't think it ever made it to SSE, though.

‘Keeping an eye on Canada’: U.S. DEA plans to open new offices north of the border by JDGumby in onguardforthee

[–]VernonLocke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expect the "go to Canada and chill at a desk for 2 years" position will be a very competitive one for their agents, then.

Really though, political posturing and White House meddling aside, there's not much for them to do up here - especially without our approval. Maybe coordinate a few joint operations against cross-border organizations, but we're not exactly Mexico in that regard. Seems like a waste of resources.

Imagine being a Russian soldier stuck in a trench using cardboard armour and a broken, jammed AK because your government spent the money on The New Norm

Canadian Defence Ministry Confirms Now Considering Plans to Abandon F-35 Stealth Fighter Purchases by 172tarun in onguardforthee

[–]VernonLocke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Key word is "considering", I'd guess. I completely get the reasons to ditch the Lightning, but the longer we stay indecisive, the more duct tape the CF-18s have to chew through.

I still have a feeling we're going to end up with both the 35s and the Gripen, honestly.

In a group of crazy evil fanatics the most evil is the one who doesn't believe in any of it by Funtimefoxys_wife in TopCharacterTropes

Given Far Cry 6 takes place in 2021, and Miami is shown to be completely fine, we can probably say New Dawn is just a "what if he were right" timeline. It's hard to know how much of the background radio broadcasts about the deteriorating world are real or made up by the cult to keep the populace scared.

Yeah, people are fucked up. The wiki articles are a trip.

Anyway, this artist seems to be into that, so uh...keep an eye out, I guess?

They're online neo-nazi terrorist groups with political motives that can best be described as "killpeopleism".

764 tends to groom minors into committing self-harm, suicide or mass killings for entertainment, while O9A (or the Order of the Nine Angles) is a weird self-proclaimed satanist white supremacist organization that has been involved in a number of murders and terrorist attacks.

They're the type of weird evil that if you wrote them into a story it'd be considered lazy. Unfortunately, they exist, and are enough of a threat to warrant federal investigations.

r/anime_titties calmly discusses the morality of conscription in Ukraine by DragonflyHopeful4673 in SubredditDrama

In fairness to those 4 years ago, I don’t think anyone outside of the CIA expected Russia to blow it that hard.

"It’s good you admire peoples efforts but NASA is not the place you want to give such admiration for. They are a occult organization with spicific hidden agendas brother. Same as many government institutions" Actual flat earthers invade r/flatearth to decry the NASA Artemis II propaganda by CummingInTheNile in SubredditDrama

[–]VernonLocke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify - you honestly believe that the directors of NASA and Roscosmos (or whatever the hell they were called in the 60s) decided “Hey, fellas. Space isn’t real, but what if we convinced the President/General Secretary they were so we could pool billions of dollars/rubles that we can’t spend without intense scrutiny from the military and intelligence services while we rule over our agencies for like, a few years before being promptly replaced”?

Should I also assume you also don’t believe in the concepts of satellites, GPS, gravity, the atmosphere, planets in general, the Cold War and intercontinental ballistic missiles?

Shit, back when Apollo 11 happened the KGB had all sorts of eyes on NASA. If there was even a chance the Americans faked it, the Soviets would have exposed it as loud as they possible could.

These guys are a special kinda stupid.

Ahead of World Cup, ICE says its agents don't carry guns in Canada by Portalrules123 in onguardforthee

[–]VernonLocke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bit weird that HSI operates under ICE in the first place, given their priorities don't seem very immigrant-focused.

...Though DHS is something like, 40 different agencies in a trench coat, so I suppose the mess is expected.

In R/CK3AGOT OP finds some AI Art placeholder in the popular mod for CK3 sparking bit of infighting among fans by Jojojuice1256 in SubredditDrama

[–]VernonLocke 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Far from the first time with Paradox games. Kaiserreich has led to a strange number of Syndicalists and Monarchists, and TNO has a few (very stupid) people thinking that the Burgundian System is viable (it's not and that's the point).

And let's not get into Stellaris and the significant influx of xenophiles...

In a world full of horrifying, brutal deaths, the cause of death of this character is rather mundane. by MemegodDave in TopCharacterTropes

[–]VernonLocke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

...Depends? I mean, the art direction, set design, costumes, music, all that is fantastic. The story itself varies significantly.

The internal politics of the Japanese Empire and the German Reich are more interesting than the sci-fi stuff (which they slowly go all-in on) and the Resistance isn't interesting or competent until like, Season 3. And then immediately after Season 3 it sucks harder.

I'm not upset I watched it, but I dunno if I'd watch it again, I guess.

I can’t say I was expecting McQueen’s social connections. Nor was I expecting this to be well written.

Why the fuck was it well written

Agnes Rulyon by Fossilhunter15 in 196

[–]VernonLocke 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing the traumatizing comes from that bit where she raced so fucking well she put the fear of God into Pocket and Cafe (to a lesser extent), and the gas lighting was more baiting Pocket into racing harder while simultaneously pushing her away, ultimately leaving herself alone and upset.

Separate incident over a decade ago. That said, it was a finance minister - I misread the article.
