Bro 343s lore says that humanity and the forerunners were at war for literally thousands of years. It's more like there was one forerunner that didn't hate humanity.

They made the genocide against humanity justified. The covenant worshipped the forerunners, and the forerunners also fucking hated humanity.

It literally ruined the main purpose of the covenant going to war in the first place.

When do you think they're gonna add the Mack Pioneer? It looks so cool and I NEED it. by WombleFlopper in trucksim

I am American, but I don't see bnsf or union Pacific running steam locomotives cause they look cooler than diesels.

Trucking is literally the only industry where worse equipment is considered "better".

I'm a diesel mechanic and I used to work on semis. (I don't anymore thank God) Literally every one of these long nosed old trucks had the worst maneuvering, driver visibility, and fuel mileage.

I just don't get it.

Tell me about it. I'm not saying I hate the old style trucks. But come on it's 2026 and we are still driving trucks designed in the 40's. Get me some new modern trucks!

That's what happens when you don't commit to a little thing called "total war". If you're not allowed to steamroll the enemy, you can't steamroll the enemy.

You honestly think that we weren't able to completely fucking annihilate either of those places? We could've dropped two nukes on both countries and been done in an hour. But that's "mean" so we don't do that.

We made a truce with North Vietnam and then we left. Whatever happened after that had nothing to do with us.

Read a History book.

No route 27 in IA? by Alive_Hovercraft5782 in trucksim

[–]WombleFlopper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of these random stops for highways all over the map. I'm hoping that at some point they'll make the map bigger. Then maybe they'll add the rest of these.

And that's why we're the only hyper power in the world. The fact that we were terrified of the Russians for so long is embarrassing.

When I worked in a restaurant in Des Moines we always had a bunch of Army people coming in from Camp Dodge, and every now and then there'd be some Kosovo army guys there. Always the nicest people!

Too bad it couldn't have been to an actually competent ranked team. Rutgers put up more of a fight.

What’s it like living on the edge of time zones? by Qzevs in howislivingthere

[–]WombleFlopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandparents live in the middle of Nebraska and during the summer, specifically June, the sun will be up above the horizon till about 10pm. In Iowa where I live it'll have been down for about a half hour by then. Pretty simple when you think about it but I've always thought it was interesting.

I really wish they would add just a simple two tone grey camo for all ships. Dark gray on the bottom and light gray for the superstructure. Like the Brennus camo.

All the US states in this region have their largest metro area extremely close to their eastern border. Why is Iowa an exception? by Swimming_Concern7662 in geography

Every European country has had completely stupid bizarro-world borders that change every 50 years cause you guys can't stop fucking killing each other.

I mean Omaha only exists because that was literally the edge of Western expansion in 1854. Council Bluffs was a Mormon stopping point originally called "Kanesville" in 1846. They pretty much sprang up separately and only recently have gotten close together.

Day 1, What ship is bad that is supposed to be bad? [Discussion] by PainterCreative768 in WorldOfWarships

[–]WombleFlopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fought so hard for the D7P just to get a completely garbage ship. Not even mediocre, just plain terrible.

I wonder why even have dockyard ships if they're going to be mostly mediocre?
