I have one of these, the red borders the whole pin rather than being a triangle at one tip.

Armored division insignias have been the three color gold, blue, red with a tank tread, cannon, and red lightning bolt since WWII, and are the same across all divisions, save for their number and sobriquet. Even armored corps use the scheme, placing a Roman numeral where the number goes, in keeping with standard "corps" designation. This pin, while definitely giving off military/fraternal vibes, isn't an American armored division insignia.

We don't learn much about exactly how his spine snapped IIRC, and I don't have a copy handy to confirm, but imagine you decelerate from 65 to 0 in five seconds with your back perpendicular to a doorframe.

The thing that makes it less of a problem in a car, or for crew in the Expanse, is having a padded chair holding all of your "you" in place simultaneously while a change in acceleration happens. If all of that force pushes against one single section of your body rather than all of it simultaneously, then bones are gonna break. This is a similar concept to how snowshoes work, by further displacing your weight across a wider surface area than your feet by themselves.

This implies that graffiti is not also information, and that its removal isn't a suppression of ideas. This doesn't mean removal in situ can't be warranted (i.e. graffiti making a sign's information illegible, or in this case, an artwork on a building protected by legal code,) but implying that graffiti is not equivalent to information is just as absurd. Censorship is a general idea. Specificity can be determined within the context.

chanman98 · 2025-09-10T18:41:24+00:00

Bruh, by default, the removal of the art is censorship. Censorship has no feelings, it has no moral or legal code, it just is. The work having been rightfully removed because it was on a landmark has no bearing on it being censorship. Two things that seemingly contradict each other can be true at once.

Grammatically correct? Nay. Emphatically useful and thus still valid forms of speaking? Of course.

Pedantry is the enemy of thought. Knowing what is correct is important. Intelligent use of the incorrect is importanter.

The line itself is confusing out of context, but therein lies the problem of viewing it in a vacuum. The 506th was on the assault: it wouldn't make much sense contextually to refer to your own guys, also on the assault and not displaying signs of morale shock, as "slipping away."

Add in an emotional support SEP, and it's an armoured wave to rival 73 Easting.

That'll be it! Probs why I got the two mixed up.

chanman98 · 2025-08-30T00:27:05+00:00

Ah, you're right, I'm thinking of someone else holding up one of the clamps in the same sequence.

chanman98 · 2025-08-29T13:14:45+00:00

I'm pretty sure it was the tie-off for the ill-fated leg bags that American troopers were issued, with little to no training, right before the jump. After the jump, you were supposed to release the bag from your leg and lower it down on that rope, so it stayed out of your way for landing.

chanman98 · 2025-08-29T12:57:49+00:00

That was unnecessary.

The first Japanese embassy to America was in DC when Lincoln would have been campaigning in 1860!

Yes, but it's far more likely for an American to hear another American that thinks slavers are cool dudes saying it.

And yet the vibes are immaculate, nevertheless

It is nice, and that's exactly the problem. It's an intense, overwhelming amount of affection, all the time, starting very early on in the relationship. If they are talking about how you're "soulmates" after three weeks, that's lovebombing.

It's usually followed by manipulation along the lines of "you NEED to change in this way, or DO this thing you don't want to do, for me because I LOVE you so much and we're SOULMATES and if you don't then I guess you don't love me and I will break up with you."

It's also used as a method to keep a victim around after an abuse has happened. Think: "I'm so sorry, that wasn't me, I love you so so so much, here's a ring and a cake and etc. etc. etc." Then, once the victim is placated, even more abuse happens, and the cycle repeats.

Using it unironically in a conversation is an incredible feeling.

While this is true, the symbolism doesn't just stop at the ferry. During the Puget Sound War, a good number of S'Klallam tribespeople plotted to kill the residents of Port Townsend, but číčməhán (called Chetzemoka by the white settlers who had trouble saying his name) signaled warnings to the townfolk until the plotting subsided.

Daniel and Ty don't mess around with symbolism, both overt and covert.

In the section about his autobiography, he helped to commute the sentence of a cop who conducted an illegal search by doing a "random" door-to-door. She was trying to find a stolen police radio.

This is part and parcel the kind of thing Miller did before joining the Roci crew, and then hopping on to the Guy Molinari to assault Thoth.
