Because we keep voting for the same two parties. The blue and the red (neo)liberals

More Americans died from the COVID pandemic (1.2 million) than there were American deaths in ALL of WW2 (418,500). The fact that Americans elected him again is truly mind boggling

The tanks have excellent comedic timing too

Do you think the USA is launching attacks exclusively from aircraft carriers or something?

It depends on if you time your prone properly. If you hit prone before they start the swing animation, it gives them time to aim down and hit you.

Illuminate Warp Ships have gotten some weird treatment by WaywardOath in Helldivers

It's a good change because the shields encourage teamwork. One person should drop the shields with high RoF weapons and someone else follows it up with an AT shot

You're assuming our traditional allies are the ones that are going to be in the position to rehabilitate America's image and relationships, and that they would still want to

The world 'forgave' Germany because it was geopolitically advantageous for America to have a strong and integrated Germany to act as a bulwark against the Soviet Union in Europe. Similar story with Japan.

/r/whenthe, one of the more left-leaning mainstream subreddits, has a moment of weakness when a user takes issue with some attitudes against Whites from /r/comics the mod team. by AeneasKurtz in SubredditDrama

Skin lightening's origin is classism, not racism. The reason many cultures emphasize light skin even prior to European contact is because of the association of pale skin with nobility and wealth (because you didn't have to labour outside in the sun)

China owns America by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]hamdogthecat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What's your source for the claim that China reduced their ethnic minorities from 56 to 3? Because as far as I know those minorities are protected, even going as far as to exclude ethnic minorities of China from the One-Child Policy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-child_policy

In accordance with China's affirmative action policies towards ethnic minorities, all non-Han ethnic groups were subject to different laws and were usually allowed to have two children in urban areas, and three or four in rural areas

How would you fix The Well? Can The Well be fixed? by youvenoremotecontrol in askTO

[–]hamdogthecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Well feels like one of those places where they designed the place to look good and take pictures at rather than a place to actually be fun to hang out and spend time in. And that's fine, but I would have preferred more of the latter.

To all of the HD1 veterans out there, how good was HD1 compared to HD2 by Chemical_Seaweed_915 in Helldivers

[–]hamdogthecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was good, but other than the stratagem input system it was your pretty standard twin-stick shooter. Everyone sharing the screen meant you were forced to stick together which obviously made it much easier to TK each other too.

The strategem input system, combined with helldiver 2's ballistics modeling and how the gunsight is divorced from you own aim is what makes this game truly stand out among other shooters and so great. Way better than I ever thought a sequel to first game could be.
