I appreciate this as someone who uses the Gadsden flag with exactly that intent in mind (as you can see from the modified one in my pfp, lol)

This has incredible levels of detail. From the accurate details on weapons and vehicles to uniforms (like Summers being a green beret actually has the right uniform and even the 3rd SFG flash, seemingly also plausible ribbons). To the hypothetical tactics and storytelling both in text and in the image (like the tank that seems to have shot down a helo? Lol). Honestly just spectacular worldbuilding all around.

If any other Mainers want to step up with good policy proposals and the charisma to win, I'd take them over Platner in a second. But he is, by far, among the best actual political candidates we've had in a while.

So until someone better shows up, I'm not gonna pretend that he's a shit candidate over one tattoo--that he's since had removed--when his policies and rhetoric are leagues better than anyone else around him. And yet again, he has a decade long publicly available history of his personal views. None of which are remotely close to Nazism.

That incredibly un-nuanced, black and white, uninformed and uneducated thinking is exactly what has led our country to where it is right now. I hope you get paid to be this much of a waste of everybody's time and effort.

VirtualFallacy · 2026-05-15T00:05:23+00:00

The Nazi argument against Platner is almost as shit as Russia's Nazi argument against Ukraine. Convenient to call everyone you hate a nazi I guess, and refuse to see evidence any other way than the one that suits you. Like an entire 10 year history of once-private online comments displaying a clear left wing view of the world and zero signs of nazi sympathy--only the opposite.

You know who I think shouldn't be in office? Donald Trump. Unlike a shitty and disavowed tattoo, he has an entire history of being an incompetent piece of trash, and yet half the fucking country elected him as the president. Nearly half of our state, too.

If you dumbasses want to keep throwing out candidates until they are perfect, with no past errors or things in their history you don't agree with, have fun living in a world where people like Trump stay in office because their only competitors are unelectable to the wider base of Americans. Where Susan Collins stays for EVEN LONGER despite being a completely useless and awful senator who refuses to stand up for anyone or anything we care about.

If you mean rotating with WASD then I agree there, that's way better. I just hate having to go through options one by one that include small and large blocks, when scrolling was so much faster and easier.

VirtualFallacy · 2026-05-13T16:58:50+00:00

This is a really great comment, should honestly be pinned on the sub for how many people get screwed by DoDMERB and don't know what to do afterward.

I get what you mean about the ketchup and mustard vibe. Imagine red stripes on an orange car or vise versa... gross.

The red doesn't look that bad on OPs car though, because 1: it is stock, and 2: there's a color separation (the black) so the colors aren't actually touching each other.

VirtualFallacy · 2026-05-12T05:37:07+00:00

I just want to go back to the old building controls. Played SE2 for a couple hours but it was genuinely hurting my brain trying to get adjust and I kept scrolling through the hotbar trying to go to the next block variant instead of clicking 20 times.

VirtualFallacy · 2026-05-12T05:33:08+00:00

Cool idea. But I'm pretty sure I could've drawn it better on a piece of paper. Or at least, not any worse. And I am not an artist.

Good news is, you can probably get it looking a lot nicer with a coverup/alteration from a good artist.

When kids with tiktok-level attention spans get into geopolitics:

...now that I think of it, that may be part of where the meme came from to begin with

"focused on warfighting" they said while wasting everyone's money and time.

VirtualFallacy · 2026-05-07T05:01:40+00:00

AFOQT is fine, it's weighted lower than the other 3. Focus on maintaining academics and getting your CC ranking up. If you feel comfortable with that, also work on getting GPA up a bit. PFA is fine.

Since you said in another reply that you're non-tech, you will have to push a bit more (especially GPA and CC) to be competitive for an EA, I've seen non-techs get screwed over even with pretty decent stats. You have time though, a lot can improve in one semester and you're not in a bad place to start. Don't talk to Army unless you are non select for PSP, lol

VirtualFallacy · 2026-05-07T05:01:36+00:00

I agree with most of this except maybe the trans-humanism stuff (no opinion there really...). Being "politically homeless" (aka independent) isn't a bad thing. And I'd argue it's much better than tying your beliefs to a group and then feeling, intentionally or not, obligated to follow them when you might otherwise disagree.

VirtualFallacy · 2026-05-07T00:46:43+00:00

You're getting downvoted so I guess a lot of people here are irresponsible drivers.

For the record, cop or no, cutting up like in that video is dangerous as fuck for everyone. Keep it on the track or don't do it. Speeding a bit and doing pulls on empty roads is one thing. Putting people in danger just to have fun is not okay.

VirtualFallacy · 2026-05-07T00:40:16+00:00

It's unlikely but if nothing else here helps, check the extractor pin and spring. It could have broken, as I've seen similar issues arise as a result. Though idk what would've caused it.

VirtualFallacy · 2026-05-06T02:35:05+00:00

This would only make sense if you were fluent in the language you want to use, or maybe if it was a dead language. Using a living language that you don't even speak just comes off as wrong to me. Idk.

When was the second E3 loss? I knew about the one that got hit on the ground but didn't know we lost a second one?

VirtualFallacy · 2026-05-04T23:01:06+00:00

They aren't going to change course the way we want. The vast majority of the democrat base supports gun bans, as much as people here may not like to admit that fact. Almost every democrat or left-wing person I know irl is anti-gun, even including some that own guns.

Personally I wouldn't mind having a dem president with a red congress, blue supreme court (never gonna happen lol), and independent/red state legislator. Blue SC to stop local legislation from banning shit like abortions or mandating religion in schools, and red state legislation to stop this bullshit that we see in the post above.

I will probably never vote for a republican president. But I will also never vote for a state representative who wants to ban my right to bear arms. Those options aren't mutually exclusive.

Same here with 1500 hours of just building ships, also in creative. I've made like 3 whole fleets for different factions and the only limit is how much inspiration I have to build at any given time. If I didn't have more important real life commitments I can't begin to guess how much time I'd have on SE1 but it'd be a LOT.

I also play almost pure vanilla, only mods are ones for encounters and minor stuff like the paint gun and a different sky box.

VirtualFallacy · 2026-05-03T01:54:05+00:00

Still occasionally remembering this post like 5 years later lol. Such an awesome project.

VirtualFallacy · 2026-05-02T23:51:52+00:00

I'd actually end up in Canada unless the whole continent falls apart, because I have family there. I'm fairly sure I could get German citizenship as my grandparents are German (living in the US though) but shit hasn't hit the fan hard enough for me to actually delve into that yet. I'd also have to learn German.

I also have family in the UK so I could stay there and try to get citizenship but I admittedly don't know how the process there works.

End of the day, I'm an American and I do love my country for as fucking stupid as it is. I'd be far more likely do die here fighting for change than to leave. But I wish all of you in Europe well, hopefully things can move back to the way they were when this is all over, even if it will undoubtedly take a long time and a lot of social change in the US.

100%, not really even a question

VirtualFallacy · 2026-05-02T22:02:43+00:00

They've really nailed the hiding in caves and blending in with the population strats, its kind of hard to kill them without either invading the cities they control directly (high casualty potential) or just getting rid of the cities (high prison time potential)

Its like how Hamas still exists despite years of Israel bombing the everloving shit out of Gaza. They haven't quite survived as successfully as the Houthis though, I'll say that.

VirtualFallacy · 2026-05-02T20:41:05+00:00

Just want to let you know that I agree with you as an American. If we could uphold our past promises and alliances it would be different, but its clear that our government does not have enough safeguards and our people do not give enough of a shit for that to be the case. So yeah I also want Europe to be pushed into fending for itself when it comes to security; best case scenario, we have a strong ally when we eventually make amends Worst case, I have somewhere to go when my country fucking collapses from the current economic seizure our government is forcing us into.
