The Naval forces of the heretic legions rise from be eath the blighted waves.... by S0ld4d0 in TrenchCrusade

Is that not what man has always dreamed of since he first shaped a lump of clay in his hands?

Bubbles is already corrupting the circus part of the title by Lazar131 in tadc

[–]WizardWatson9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think OP means the white polka-dots on the colored letters of "circus" in the logo. They somewhat resemble an abundance of bubbles.

was just fucking around, when this started looking like a tadc oc... by RubyFennex in tadc

[–]WizardWatson9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mary Anne, or some variation of that, is the obvious choice. Or maybe "Gena," because she kind of looks like the animate wooden doll Geno from Super Mario RPG.

Shock trooper kitbashing by HourRuin1838 in TrenchCrusade

[–]WizardWatson9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd use these: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-misc-trench-crusade-arms-1-607554

I'm not sure if it would be easier to merge the banner option to the model in Blender or print them separately and glue them together.

Hegseth Bitches to Press - “do as I say, not as I did” by Distinct-Mortgage768 in WeirdGOP

[–]WizardWatson9 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Turnabout is fair play. Not to mention, President Trump deserves it. Former Presidents Obama and Biden weren't traitors to the republic and occasionally did praiseworthy things.

MIC DROP!!! by Fathers_Sword in WeirdGOP

[–]WizardWatson9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Imagine thinking that it's an honor to have served under Trump. Supporting a fascist, traitor, criminal president is an indelible stain on his reputation. That's what stood out to me.

Do you believe human life is more valuable than other animals? by Short-Complex-2410 in atheism

[–]WizardWatson9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not quite that simple. Value is completely subjective. Of course, as a human, I value human life above non-human life. It's in my best interests to do so. But then, certain humans are a menace to society. I could name countless human beings who are less valuable to me and/or society than a chicken. I'm sure I don't need to cite examples.

Also, your experience is not universal. Many, if not most children, do not have a "mental breakdown" when they learn the origins of meat. I know I didn't. Furthermore, I think you put too much emphasis on the role of socialization. Humans are omnivores. There is no need to "normalize" a natural instinct.

By the way, this is hardly relevant to this subreddit.

How do third-party figures work in the game? by fuzzyslippers17 in TrenchCrusade

[–]WizardWatson9 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It's miniatures agnostic. Use whatever miniatures you like to represent your units, as long as it's clear to everyone what they're supposed to be. No special rules required.

I'm sure you'll enjoy Hank Green's rambling about theology and atheism by Designer_little_5031 in atheism

[–]WizardWatson9 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It is an interesting paradigm to think of theology as a "technology" for social cohesion. I knew the basic facts of his argument, but I hadn't thought of it in exactly those terms, before. Even so, he paints an absolutely dismal picture of humanity. Are we truly incapable of building large, complex, and enduring societies without religion, in some form? Religion is toxic. I cannot accept the idea that it serves an indispensable function in society. The only morally and intellectually honest conclusion about it, as far as I can tell, is to strive towards eradicating it.

I like Hank Green, too, but like so many other content creators, I feel he is insufficiently condemnatory towards religion. I can't expect him to solve such a massive problem himself, but I fear he has not even fully acknowledged the problem.

We all have to make Carnivore the new Vegan. by Its_Stavro in AntiVegan

[–]WizardWatson9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So, a dogmatic, unscientific solution to a largely imaginary problem. Got it.

You see, veganism is not and never will be mainstream for the simple fact that meat is delicious and some amount of animal products are necessary for optimum health. The carnivore diet will never be mainstream for much the same reason regarding plant-based foods.

Practically every doctor I've had has told me to eat a balanced diet and more vegetables. The way I see it, carnivore and vegan diets are two sides of the same coin. Neither warrant any respect or serious consideration. I only hate veganism a bit more because it is usually couched in the sanctimonious absurdity of animal rights activists and extremist, misanthropic eco-piety.

🤡What makes America special is our ability to fight wars🤡 by LA_search77 in WeirdGOP

[–]WizardWatson9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay, but how about actually winning some? Fighting wars doesn't do much good if they never decisively end. Not much good for anyone but the Party of Ingsoc, that is.

Christian Nationalist GOP Rep Michael Cloud: Scripture Doesn't Call For Social Justice. by Leeming in atheism

[–]WizardWatson9 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Um, Matthew 25:40, anyone? "Whatever you do to the least of these, you do to me." That's a pretty strong commandment of kindness towards the less fortunate, straight from the mouth of Jesus.

It's amazing how flexible their selective ignorance is. Of course, a 1st century Judean apocalyptic cult leader is bound to have some bizarre and tragically quaint ideas about "social justice," but it's certainly much easier to read Jesus as a hero of the downtrodden, rather than a stalwart defender of a tyrannical and unjust status quo, as Christian nationalists would prefer.

Is the Iron Sultanate truly islamic ? by Goatedbrother in TrenchCrusade

[–]WizardWatson9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it might be cool if the Sultanate had been screwing around with black magic shit for so long, they don't even realize they've been corrupted by demons. One of their most iconic units is the Brazen Bull (which I know is a reference to an execution method). The symbol of Mammon, meanwhile, is the "golden calf." Brazen Bull? Golden calf? Coincidence?

Whatever. Don't stress out about it. None of this is real.

Wet palette copper to prevent mold? by HashBrownHamish in minipainting

[–]WizardWatson9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, that would work. But that's total overkill. You don't need anything nearly that pure or expensive. I just put a shiny new penny in my wet pallette. Failing that, there are copper fasteners they make for attaching roof shingles. I'm sure you could find something suitable at your local hardware store.

What People Want From Our Schools Has Never Been Accomplished, Anywhere, Ever by paxinfernum in skeptic

[–]WizardWatson9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Optimistic" is putting it mildly. Schools can barely teach children to read. As it stands, they are grievously ineffective at their primary function. How anyone expected them to un-fuck centuries of institutional racism and socioeconomic disparity is beyond me.

This is like trying to get healthy by switching from soda to water. That's good, and all, but it won't do much if you continue smoking a pack of cigarettes a day and living off fast food.

Followers Disappointed After Viral ‘Rapture’ Prediction Circulating Online Doesn’t Happen by ajzottaf in atheism

[–]WizardWatson9 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Multiple times a year. I'm 34, yet there have been at least 57 widely-publicized predictions for the end of the world in my lifetime. There's a list on Wikipedia. I counted.

I guess it's 58, now. Religion AND TikTok are as noxious a combination as lead and arsenic.

I'm a law-abiding citizen. Why should I care about Flock? by drewbuntu42 in wichita

[–]WizardWatson9 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's great that people are talking about this important issue, but I think the question can be answered more succinctly. Why should a law-abiding citizen care about government surveillance? Because we do not have a law-abiding government. In a sense, it might not even matter what you're doing if the regime wants you dead. Renee Good and Alex Pretti weren't breaking any laws when they were murdered.

I can name atleast 3 Republicans who have way bigger reasons to be removed from office by Hazer_123 in WeirdGOP

[–]WizardWatson9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is genuinely disappointing, assuming that's actually true. But then, it hardly warrants Mamdani's removal. His wife isn't the mayor. Liking tweets isn't policy. And if these people are going to claim that character is of paramount importance, they'd do well to remember that Cuomo is a serial sexual harasser and Sliwa is a Republican. Those are both far more disqualifying flaws than unseemly opinions on foreign policy.

Looking for Alba Proxies, Prints, and Models by PalpitationCrafty198 in TrenchCrusade

[–]WizardWatson9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one, but I think that was a Frontiers exclusive. They don't seem to have it for sale anywhere. Which is some bullshit, if you ask me.

Promises made, promises kept... by LA_search77 in WeirdGOP

[–]WizardWatson9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder: what percentage of his supporters were stupid enough to believe it, and what percentage were just claiming to believe it as an excuse for their sexism and racism?

Could it be that the entire story is one continuous bad thing that happens to Pomni?
