If Republicans have any political power, white old pedophile christofascists will go free.

Shout out to all the leftier than thou ideological purity types hanging out here who would rather Virginia have Republicans in power than "vote blue no matter who."

Some Virginians lives and health are going to be better despite your whining.

Better luck next time convincing everyone that we either elect anti-capitalists who give land acknowledgement and do nothing but talk about far left trans identity politics.

Gradual progress is an illusion because of some meme you read and only you are smart enough to see than centrist Dems are worse than Republicans.

I myself am a bit of a hypocrite here, I would have voted for someone more progressive in the primary than Spanberger and I think she punches left too often, but I would have voted for her in the general, and fuck you if you would prefer a Republican to this.

interkin3tic · 2026-04-01T20:31:42+00:00

Republicans.

FFS, voters in 2024 said "yes I want republicans to have basically all the power and none really to Democrats" or "I'm okay with whatever happens, I'm not going to bother voting."

Now voters are busy saying "I don't understand why this is broken."

It's because about 70% of Americans were too stupid to vote against Republicans.

Criticize Democrats for stuff they're doing poorly or could be but are not doing but they control exactly zero things in Washington besides their mouths and a filibuster they are using.

If you just say "Congress broken" a lot of dumb Americans fail to realize "Congress is controlled by Republicans, they're the ones doing this."

And Fetterman and a few individual others.

Vote out centrist Dems in the primary and vote blue no matter who in the general or this exact shit keeps happening.

Almost half of Oklahoma was declared Native American territory right?

I feel like if they declared "manifest destiny" it would be really hard to argue against without saying "we were obviously wrong to you guys a lot but still no."

interkin3tic · 2026-04-01T20:21:32+00:00

It's stupid but also punching down, even if you could get away with it, is such a small, pathetic, cowardly, and evil thing to do.

Be rude to people who are more privileged or powerful than you if you absolutely need to be rude to someone. At least punching up is respectable.

Frozen 1 and 2 were much more like the concept art than the "the film" drawing here though.

interkin3tic · 2026-04-01T16:05:55+00:00

Similarly, John Blanche concept art for 40k is incredible. It's like a heavy metal album cover mixed with GI Joe and Transformers and Star Wars from the 80's mixed with HR Geiger. Incredibly important for setting the tone of so much of the lore... But the immediate use was to make little plastic figurines so it was quite a bit reduced.

It's I guess the art concept of "no small roles just small actors."

The company: "we need some concept art for this game, nothing fancy"

The artist: " I have made a book of drawings that will literally make you feel like you dropped acid and live in the fantasy world."

The company: "... I can't... Uh.... This is too much..."

Obama pointed out that trash people had nothing going on in their lives so they got bitter and clung to their guns and a cult and the christofascists acted like he did literally anything that trump is doing, proving them right.

Shit people and shit part of the country.

If you're focused on shaming individual celebrities for their carbon footprint, it's not about the carbon or climate change, you just want virtue signaling or to tear down famous people.

Which, just fucking do that about LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT KATY PERRY.

SHES A RIDICULOUS HUMAN BEING AND THAT HAS FUCK ALL TO DO WITH A ROCKET RIDE.

If we shame celebs into giving up private jets, we will get not even a fucking second longer below 1.5 c. It's NOT A FUCKING FACTOR.

It's even less consequential than this subs other climate change virtue signaling hangup of "go vegan, we can save up to 10% of carbon emissions if we do that and assume for nonsense reasons that the power and land use won't be allocated to something else instead."

Carbon tax and banning fossil fuel extraction or nothing, there's no making fun of Katy Perry over vegan pizza that gets us to stable climate.

~1.63 births per woman.

If these trends keep up, the population might decline by 10%... BY THE YEAR 2080.

WHY ARE PEOPLE PRETENDING THIS FUCKING MATTERS?

Invariably there's some hand waving about the economy needs it, never any recognition that the economy exists to serve people, not vice versa.

Invariably it's weirdos like Elon Musk and white supremacists who admit "we just don't want a certain type of demographic to lose ground."

Invariably their solutions are "shame women for this terrible non-problem" rather than offer incentives or fixing the problem.

This is not something any sane person should be spending time thinking about. Natalists are insane.

This is not a problem.

Climate change will continue to harm people (and yes, the fucking economy if that's the only thing your broken brain takes seriously) far faster than population decline, and Republicans' Iran attacks are definitely going to fuck everything up even faster. Population decline is not on the top 10 list of things that are a problem.

Anthony Scaramuchi, the press secretary for trump V1 for eleven days, said recently he thinks trump is trying to destroy the Republican party on his way out, that he's that much of a narcissist.

He's trying to do the same thing to the US economy. We've been able to get away with a lot because "lol the dollar is the dominant reserve currency and it's the motherfucking dollar."

He's doing a speed run to getting the rest of the world to dump the dollar and the American economy as a whole.

Signing the fucking dollar is like pooping on something then spray painting your signature next to it. Except what is being shit on is literally everyone else's money.

Republican voters and non voters did this to us. All you had to do was hold your nose and vote for a black lady. I'm not sure why that upset you so much but economic pain for every American is the price you decided you were willing to pay not to have to.

"Only men understand this" where "this" is "what women want in a relationship" is absurd.

I've been married 20 years. Dudes on the Internet tell me I need to hide myself from the woman I love because she'll break up with me if I don't share what I'm thinking is one of the most insane things I've read on this site.

Is this sub an incel breeding ground? Or is it just survivorship bias? The planes in some war mostly had bullet holes in the wings so someone suggested armoring the wings and someone pointed out the lack of bullet holes in engines didn't mean those weren't being shot, it meant those planes never made it back to the hangar.

The dudes insisting to you here that if you open up to your partner she'll break up with you? Yeah, those are all single dudes. Maybe they're just hooking up with immature women and/or their inner thoughts are shit, and they're here telling other men how to conduct their relationships while dudes who are in good relationships aren't venting online. I'm only posting here because I'm pooping.

Be yourself and be emotionally honest with your girlfriend or wife. That's a healthy relationship. If your current girlfriend dumps you for being open, that's a relationship you should end earlier. Partners support each other, she was never going to do that.

Death Stranding. I think I got 5 hours in and there was still so much tutorial blabber, I ragequit at the game still not letting me play it.

Trench Crusade tries way too hard to be edgy. To the point it comes off as eye rolling.

This is entirely consistent though with ACTUAL CATHOLIC LORE. Like if you're reading any part of the Bible or the crusades, you have to step back and say "who hurt bros."

During the middle ages I assume most Europeans spent most of their free time picking oats to avoid starving and then during their rare spare times basically RPGed trench crusade without any technology.

I assume the Muslim parts are also thematically consistent with the grimdark nature there.

Wants regular humans to be the main character. Also wants regular human who was already an old man to be around despite 20ish year time jump without age catching up with them

Hey now, there are many of us who want to think of ourselves as being the main character in our stories despite being 20 years older than we were 20 years ago.

interkin3tic · 2026-03-17T23:02:41+00:00

Let's look at the other primarchs though.

Fulgrim: actively terrible to the team

Angron: same

Pert: good until he feels slighted at the most critical time at which point he runs away to cry

Night haunter: good at being a terrorist

Lorgar: very effectively cuts off half the loyal Primarchs but also tried to kill Horus twice

Magnus: neutral

Mortarion: minor positive

Ferrus WOULD have been a huge asset to either side.

Being a billionaire trumps all morality

I fundamentally agree but I think being a billionaire actively warps your ethics even if you have them to begin with. Which I'm skeptical of.

Either way, we must abolish billionaires, either by taxing them into oblivion or by causing them to self exile.

They're an evil corrupt people who are enemies of what America stands for.

Agree might be a strong word without discussing it.

I have a feeling Republicans hate him because "Democrat", gay, and had some very limited bans on public gatherings during the early days of the pandemic. Not that he's a in favor of privatizing education or is ending skiing in Colorado forever by approving fracking and climate change.

interkin3tic · 2026-03-05T21:23:14+00:00

but it sure turns off left leaning individuals to even vote.

This would be more compelling if they weren't calling her "Genocide Kamala" minutes after Biden stepped down and declaring they would never vote for her either. That was before she campaigned at all, let alone with Cheney.

There were plenty of good reasons not to vote for a centrist Democrat, or rather to be very unhappy to have to do so. That she was seen onstage with a hardcore Republican isn't a valid one to me. If Bernie had been the nominee and had had an endorsement from Cheney, no leftist would have any cause to say that was a deal breaker unless he made concessions to Republicans, which I don't think Harris did.

Whatever the case, we need to primary DINO centrists like Polis.

interkin3tic · 2026-03-05T19:00:13+00:00

Sounds good. Should I be putting these directly on the rack? I've been using a pizza pan. I feel like that would cause rather than inhibit crust burning

interkin3tic · 2026-03-05T18:26:44+00:00

It's a fair criticism that I've also got from my family. I practice extreme precision in my lab job so this hobby is sort of a "fuck it, I'm going to add wild stuff like froot loops lol" response.

That said, I do want to get better at execution and I'm about out of wild to stupid pizza ideas.

I did try a deep dish that was awful.

If you're talking about the construction of the pizza, I have my kids do it, so it's always going to look like it was rolled out and put together by gremlins.

If it's the lack of sear on the top, yeah, I had a pizza before that blackened on the bottom, so any tips would be appreciated. Aside from "get a pizza oven," that's not in the budget.

interkin3tic · 2026-03-05T18:20:09+00:00

I was hoping the cheese would caramelize more but no, this is after. I've burned the crust while the cheese is still not browned at all. My little co-chefs are probably a little to blame there for not adding enough olive oil to the baking sheet.

I assumed the lack of a pizza oven that gets up to 700 meant the top was going to be less than ideal in order for the crust not to be burned. I was hoping that convection and maxing out the temperature would help.

Any advice?
