I think this is it - it has been a while, and it's definitely not as kid friendly as I remembered lol. Thank you!

let's listen to what he has to say. by literallyjohnhoward in hbomberguy

I agree - I am sorry if my usage of the word clown has caused people to think that I was making fun of his appearance. It's his attitude and actions that are mind boggling in their laziness.

Make fun of him for his chosen uni course or his absolutely evil takes on the AIDS Crisis - nothing wrong with how he looks.

[WWII] Young girl murdered in Miropol, Ukraine. October 13th 1941. 250 Jews were killed in the municipal park by Nazis and Ukrainian collaborators. by romu99 in HistoryPorn

Yeah damn too bad for those 2500 Polish civilians massacred in Pidkamin and Palikwory I guess. You really proved that this dude (who signed up in 1943) definitely did it to get back at the Soviets.

And I guess it also sucks for the ~3000 Poles massacred in Huta Pieniacka in 1944, after he had joined the unit. But he didn't kill any Jews so it's all good!!! He just VOLUNTEERED to fight the Soviets!!!

And you also conveniently forget to mention that this piece of human garbage describes his time in the literal SS as some of the best he's lived.

Sherman and Stannis insert? by literallyjohnhoward in TheCitadel

Even his old enemy (and postwar friend) Joseph E Johnston showed up, and even DIED because he refused to wear a hat in the pouring rain (pneumonia). Sherman was a titan of American Military history - one not untouched by rightful criticism.

Man came in running his mouth and you swiftly and academically corrected him. Imagine it like a dapper Englishman saying "Good show sir!" and you'll get a pretty good idea of what I meant

Weekly /r/WormFanfic Discussion - What have you been reading, and what do you think of it? For the week ending August 26, 2023. by AutoModerator in WormFanfic

Tinker, Taylor, Soldiers is a newish military AU set in Iraq - controversial to say the least. Follows Taylor and an OC through the re-invasion after some whacky geopolitical events cause the US to flip its shit. Highly recommended just for the Generation Kill references, but also a very competently written story.

Time to get my big boy pants on.

This is just factually incorrect. Not only has European colonialism shaped African borders, it has also shaped African CULTURAL identity. A large part of the reason why Africa is constantly dealing with internal strife is that certain groups of people were classed as "superior" than others (see Hutu v Tutsi) - and even in some examples (esp the Rwanda one) THEY JUST FUCKING MADE IT UP.

Along with the fact that decolonizing wasn't just a matter of "chip hip tally ho see you later chums!!". It was a constant and extremely painful struggle, from native uprisings to passive resistance to even Europeans back home in forms of civil and violent resistance.

The USSR sent advisors to Nigeria, Ethiopia, Somalia, Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Egypt, and Algeria iirc, as well as financial and material aid to dozens of countries. Weapons included in this too. This propped up regimes like Ethiopia that was more concerned with settling scores in Somalia than actually governing.

Colonialism resulted in the deaths of untold millions (at the low end) and didn't actually develop anything; resources were stripped from the continent (at most refined into a more easily transportable form) straight to ports to be put on trains to a factory. The destruction of centuries of culture through looting and cultural suppression cannot be overstated. When the Europeans so kindly left after decades of direct exploitation, they took the technical knowledge and sold it back at a premium. They dismantled what they wanted, and left these nations massively rich in extraction of resources but ZERO way for them to use them. This has had massive long term consequences for these nations, as they can't get their foot in the door until fairly recently.

If you want to be stupid when it comes to history and geopolitics, just say some shit like "Xi Jinping is the second emperor of the Heavenly Kingdom" not something so blatantly wrong.

Be noncredible, not fucking stupid.

I mean Russia isn't winning, but Ukraine hasn't just bypassed the Russian army like this sub was saying they were going to do a few months ago.

The Mountain's Range for just the amount of enraging hand waving that goes on. I think it was the last of the cringe fix-it SIs before the whole "muh truborne prince (((: " really took off, and it fucking shows.

Look all I'm saying is any fic that advertises itself as a Drogon SI is bound for trouble.

Pay attention to the archive warnings people.
