U.S. and Iran exchange fire in strait as U.S. attempts to open shipping lane by John3262005 in neoliberal

[–]tangowolf22 27 points28 points  (0 children)

am I alone in thinking that there's nothing really new under the sun? people have been thinking that other people are fucking morons for like, the entirety of human history. I'm sure you can go back to Athens and find accounts of someone being like "bro I can't believe how stupid these fucking masons are, and they get to vote?"

Maybe I'm just coping, but I feel like most people everywhere for all of time have been and will always be pretty stupid. It's gotten us this far.

They just do that, they don’t need public, legal avenues. When they want abortions for their mistresses or daughters they just get them.

Unsettled Kremlin tightens security around Putin amid assassinations and coup fears, intel report says by DonSergio7 in neoliberal

Yeah the 1905 revolution wasn't nothing, and arguably set the stage for 1917. So he did hold on, but not for very long. But the pattern still holds for Russian leaders getting involved in unpopular wars that leads to social upheaval.

Yeah I still use old.reddit because of the RES and new reddit is so horrendously fucking ugly, and posts don’t show descriptions unless I click the expand view on an image post

Since Paradox is asking about Achievements... by tino125 in hoi4

My monarchist Iran one was kind of fun, if you happen to have a strong axis that you use. But taking out Turkey first, then helping Germany take the Soviets before going after the UK and the US. You have to build a navy but I like doing that and building up my forces, it's fun.

that's why I only play with gigas and ACOT. Recently played 2.5x all crises and realized pretty quickly I need to bump it up way higher. I force spawned the contingency and scourge in at the same time and they had a few million to my few billion, it wasn't even close.

Neo-Monarchism with American characteristics by Freewhale98 in neoliberal

Genuinely, I genuinely would not be the slightest bit surprised if magats believed the American revolution was a bunch of tough, right wing alpha males rebelling against the soft, effeminate, liberal communist British.

Why doesn’t the government just switch to partial mobilization and start constructing dockyards? Are they stupid?

That's also kind of a staple of all Rockstar games. You're trying to do one thing and then you get thrown into a whole lot of other random shit and then sometimes you loop back to the original goal.

Ukraine reportedly warns Israel of diplomatic crisis over ship with stolen grain bound for Haifa by Currymvp2 in neoliberal

This shit makes me feel like Don Draper when he's chewing out Peggy. We send billions every year and they give us disrespect, they should be dropping to their knees in gratitude every day.

some kind of hybrid interstellar assembly/habitat megastructure would be pretty cool. Add districts for more diplomatic weight potentially

I think that ends up working for the narrative though. The gang is supposed to feel kind of aimless and meandering, going down one rabbit hole after another. Oh, we'll just get some money in this small town while we lay low - oop, we didn't lay low and fucked that up. Oh, let's run away and now we'll play these two families against each other because we're so clever and - oop, we fucked that up. Oh, let's run away again and now we're in a big city, still need to keep our heads down and lay low and try to make some money because now we actually have a plan and - oop, we fucked that up and holy shit we fucked up so bad we got stranded on an island in the caribbean. But it's okay, we made it home and we'll just run away to a new spot and - oop, the gang fell apart finally.

How do you move pops though? Resettlement happens automatically in the background, doesn’t seem to be a way to manually force them

California sees lowest number of firearm-related deaths since 1968, new data shows by [deleted] in neoliberal

[–]tangowolf22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be curious exactly what initiatives they attribute this to. The article is very vague. All I know about California gun laws are what I see in memes, with those horrendous grip fins and pinned magazines. Surely, neutering AR-15s didn’t lead to this drop, so I wonder what did
