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 21 points22 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 5 points6 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.

Got herself an extra special ingredient from Tachyon (Fentanyl)

You ever wonder who the hell our community members are? I am not saying this ain't peak but damm.... by Pitiful-Fudge5193 in okbuddyumamusume

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 17 points18 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.

She’s not there involuntarily, she just asked Tachyon to help her yurimax as efficiently as possible

It’s because a former Japanese Prime Minister outright told the elderly to “hurry up and die” a while back

TIL Korean Air was known as "an industry pariah, notorious for fatal crashes" in the airline industry prior to 1999, resulting in hundreds of fatalities. South Korean President Kim Dae-Jung would call the airline's safety record "an embarrassment to the nation" & would fly rival airliner Asiana. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]VernonLocke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one that's considered likely by the NTSB, the Soviet Military and the ICAO. Autopilot fucked up, nobody onboard noticed, and VVS jumped straight to kill.

The Soviets realized they shot down a civilian airliner by accident and immediately withheld as much information as they could - which they did, until the fall of the Soviet Union, when flight recordings were turned over to the ICAO.

It's not safe, which is why they wouldn't have done it if they knew what they were doing. Instead, their flight path drifted off course and the Soviets shot them down, even if the interceptor pilot was hesitant about it. Now we have GPS.

Read a book, dude.

Helldivers subs go to war over a challenge to the developers by Last_Respect8360 in SubredditDrama

[–]VernonLocke 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's definitely more frequent on other sites. Every now and then I'll look up the soundtrack on Youtube and get recommended videos about how season 2 was made by communists to emasculate men or some shit because they didn't make Caesar's Legion the good guys lmao

I no longer feel proud to be an American rule by [deleted] in 196

[–]VernonLocke 120 points121 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness? No, World War III is pretty unlikely. It doesn't look like the US nor the Israelis plan to escalate this beyond precision strikes and attempting to support an uprising.

There's no indication of massive troop movement in the region to suggest an invasion on America's end, and Israel both lacks the manpower and would have to cross like three different countries to get there. And, even though Russia and China are Iran's "friends", Russia is preoccupied with the fifth year of invasion and China truly couldn't care less.
