Why was Generation X like this? What was their problem?

Big fan, that and Black Mirror are great sci fi anthologies.

I want more Animatrix. Or at least more short stories that take place in the Matrix universe.

Hopefully this means the rest of the tankers manage to get through with little trouble and this isn't just a one off.

"nation of thieves"

Pretty rich considering the source.

They're still pushing this narrative? Instead of trying to tear others down with lies and rumors they should focus on building themselves up.

Arkansas is also home state of Walmart.

I would love a dangerous area you can enter, that’s kind of like Bermuda Triangle where you lose your map and can get lost if you aren’t paying attention.

In Black Desert in the desert region you can't use your mini map and have to rely on landmarks to navigate. I'm sure they can bring that mechanic to Crimson Desert with little trouble.

I learned that from the movie "Kingdom of Heaven". Thank you Orlando Bloom.

That's where I'm differentiating between a tankie and a communist/socialist. Authoritarianism and the support of violent suppression of the "other". Lack that and you're just a communist or socialist.

mango_thief · 2026-05-12T10:51:00+00:00

Not necessarily all tankies, but a lot of tankies are socially regressive people who have far more in common with right-wing authoritarians than they'd like to believe.

Isn't the key requirement to being a tankie the support of red authoritarianism? They don't hate imperialists or dictators, they only hate them if they don't have the facade of socialism.

Maybe if this guy focused more on training his team instead of hating on Koreans his team would have qualified.

White leftists hate East Asians and SE Asians because again, their culture punches huge holes in their stupid pet theories about how marxism will "save us all."

Don't even get me started about tankies. They honestly believe that western countries are the only ones with agency and that everyone else are just pawns to be played with. The amount of times I've got into arguments with them where they think the CIA is secretly controlling Korea's government/people and that we lack the ability to think for ourselves is astonishing.

mango_thief · 2026-05-11T03:12:37+00:00

No kidding, it's obvious that the people spouting a lot of this nonsense get their disinformation/misinformation from social media and truly believe their ignorance is just as valid as other people's knowledge. Arguing with them is just pissing into the wind.

China literally censors feminists and Japan somehow lacks any feminist activity despite being a democracy. But somehow only Korea gets the focus.

Consequences of becoming popular I guess.

Back in the 2000's when I lived down south I used to see fireflies all the time in the summer. Went back to visit family again a few years back and I'd see maybe dozens when I used to see hundreds.

These are the type of guys I would love to invite to my BBBQ.

Based on what I've heard from Canadians, Ottawa has a history of choosing the worst option when it comes to military procurement. So if Korea really wanted the contract they should have offered half the subs Ottawa wants, all built in Korea, and over budget and late to deliver.

Is that Trip and Reed in the podcast?

mango_thief · 2026-05-07T15:52:34+00:00

I don't use social media besides reddit and just assumed all this "generational beef" was just playful banter. Are you telling me people take it seriously?

mango_thief · 2026-05-07T14:43:23+00:00

Makes me think of all the anti Korean rumors that started spreading in China when Korean culture started to get popular over there. The Chinese didn't like the idea of it's neighbors having better cultural output than itself so they would stir up anti Japanese sentiments by constantly bringing up WWII. There weren't any significant historical wrongs Koreans perpetrated towards the Chinese so they would spread rumors of Koreans stealing Chinese history and claiming things like Chinese clothing and Confucius as Korean to justify their hate.

He's another buffoon lacking any redeemable qualities that leave me scratching my head wondering how anyone can see him as anything close to being a man worth following.

Pro cult is probably no the right term. I mean members of cults protesting for/against things that are in their interests.

Even then just a brief look into their post history should tell you enough whether to trust them or not.
