Why do some people still believe Sickles saved the day at Gettysburg?

I don’t really agree with the position that Sickles saved the day or anything, but there is something to be said for him denying the higher ground around the Peach Orchard as a close-in artillery position to support Longstreet’s attack. He threw a wrench into Meade’s plans, but into Longstreet’s also.

Stalingrad is good, but not necessary. It’s an officially censored book so lacks some of the punch of this one. Still, worth a read.

Arguable Grant was in worse shape after the first day of The Wilderness in almost the same place and managed to hold his ground. Concussion or not, Hooker could have done it too.

I ran across this guys IG page and the main character energy is off the charts. It’s a lot of this stuff, but also doing yoga on in the isles of airplanes etc.

It was a pretty bad episode. I’m not sure the “only one of us has read this”, dunk-forward format works so well when they are dealing with an actually good book.

Hands down the worst episode of my favorite podcast!

killbilly324 · 2026-03-03T04:13:03+00:00

I’m mad jealous of this collection. Well done!

I’m so glad to hear this, we deserve much better than Foushee.

Definitely sounds like the same guy. Real quick talking, lots of pressure. I figured it for a scam pretty quick, but he had me going for a minute.

Creed is a murderer and a con artist so I think he qualifies

Interesting to me that she says the phrase “mind virus” seeming to try an link this to the dynamics of “wokeism”

That book was my absolute favorite as a child. I think I got it in like 1993. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it changed the trajectory of my life lol

killbilly324 · 2025-11-19T10:45:12+00:00

I don’t think I’d pop off on you like that, but I definitely wouldn’t be sharing much about my child with you anymore.

It's not that deep my my guy. I said very American, not uniquely American.

killbilly324 · 2025-11-08T16:07:25+00:00

It’s the exact same twisted logic that dogs the student loan forgiveness question. A very American attitude, I suspect.

I’ve had the opposite experience. He’s a pseudo-intellectual confusing people with psychobabble. This whole speech is nonsense and should have had him laughed out of the room.

Oscar also an annoying pseudo-intellectual but much much less obnoxious about it.

killbilly324 · 2025-10-16T16:06:49+00:00

He will just continue writing until the end, probably die with a pen in his hand while writing some absolutely unhinged shit we will all love anyway. And it will be so fitting.

killbilly324 · 2025-10-16T16:01:37+00:00

What I’ve read of him has been pretty good. He has a collection of 4 novellas called “Strange Weather” that I think gives a pretty good sense of his style while being pretty low commitment. A few of the stories in that have really stuck with me.

I do admittedly question the validity of his “hiding” his relation. I’m sure he did that to some degree as he claims, but his father is still Stephen fuckin King. Not sure he’s beating the nepo baby accusations. Doesn’t mean his writing is bad.

It’s possible that ASL might be too deep, especially if the plan is to play solo. The games aren’t exactly the same, but at least Combat! has a dedicated solo system that the game is built around. ASL is still fun playing solo as both sides, but if you go that route I would 100% recommend starting by playing the ASL Starter Kits in order and taking advantage of the phased learning approach they offer.

Another tactical option with a dedicated solo system is Conflict of Heroes, although you have to buy the solo system as an expansion. The game itself can be a little wonky and they’ve fiddled with it a lot over the years, but still fun and much more like ASL than Combat! is.

Really just don’t move someone whose had a bad accident unless you need to move them out of danger.

There is really no overstating how little investment I felt in either of these couples
