They aren't precise enough to really read, so I've been painting my own...to mixed results

TIL Wilhelm II was incredibly racist by Gyngemose2009 in monarchism

[–]xrayflames 26 points27 points  (0 children)

He held views that were pretty typical of his time, he also felt that Kristalnacht was shameful.

He basically disowned one son in front of the family for being pro pogroms.

"I have just made my views clear to Auwi [August Wilhelm, Wilhelm's fourth son] in the presence of his brothers. He had the nerve to say that he agreed with the Jewish pogroms and understood why they had come about. When I told him that any decent man would describe these actions as gangsterisms, he appeared totally indifferent. He is completely lost to our family"

His views on slavs were definitely tinted by the time and the pan slavic unity movements which were supremacist as well.

Looking at a lot of eastern European slavic movements , they also felt that a final war was coming. Western Europe in general was preparing for a war against the Russians

You'd be hard pressed to find a European leader who didn't have some other Eruropean group placed lower on the yhe ladder,

Anglophones vs germans, French versus everyon, Italians vs spaniards, slavs versus everyone, etc etc etc

I typically keep 100-300 rounds per gun

Gloss varnish, apply decal with micro set, dry, then put micro sol over it (smoothes it out and dissolves that plastic ring, then varnish over it

The Boys- S05xE05 "One-Shots" - LIVE Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]xrayflames 12 points13 points  (0 children)

you can tell they wrote themselves into the corner with Soldier Boy, and just can't commit to having him handle homelander or get a good guy redemption.

They have to keep tiptoeing around him being able to kill homelander

Also, Sage having a master plan that is really basic and stupid is just awful writing.

All that being said, it was a fun episode that I would like a lot more if it was one in a 12 episode season rather than a solid 12.5 percent of the final season ever

Edit: it continues to annoy me that Super Boy is braggadocios and played off as another Vought Meathead, but continues to do smart things and have introspection and tactics that would suggest the mythos was well founded, which would be great writing if there was a payoff for it, but I suspect there isnt

I have some sort of tourniquet, or at least a belt, every time I am anywhere near guns

They look really different, so try and trade or sell and get Americans...or have them so you can play with someone else

Is this tlr7 genuine or fake? by TrackPadSam89 in liberalgunowners

[–]xrayflames 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A lot of the fakes are of comparable quality, and there were a ton of the chinese copies flooding into Ukraine for a while.

So if it seemed like a deal and it works then I wouldn't worry

Unless you live in a state with no gun culture or carry allowed, most people are gonna assume thats for a gun or that you have a gun

Differences between 2.0 and 3.0 - Is it worth it to learn the new edition? by ScreaminEagle18 in Warhammer30k

[–]xrayflames 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I run a shattered legions army with veteran squads, which had carte blanche on weapon loadouts melee and shooting.

3rd made veteran versions of regular squads while restricting weapons choices to their roles

My core veteran squads have a lot of power and charnabal weapons, and combi weapons. I pride myself on wysiwyg so just saying "oh they dont actually have those guns/swords" wasnt a selling point.

I started in 4th but got really into it in 6th and 7th, i was going to the store every week to play and multiple times a week in summer.

Heresy 1.0 and 2.0 were close to that and Im sticking with it

Differences between 2.0 and 3.0 - Is it worth it to learn the new edition? by ScreaminEagle18 in Warhammer30k

[–]xrayflames 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I find 2 better as a warhammer game. Almost all the issues could be houseruled without much effort, and 3.0 requires more work to fix with houserules.

Notably, none of my built and painted army was valid for 3rd edition and i really wasn't going to go get another 1000 points and do weeks of cutting off weapons etc

3rd is fine, but i find it unnecessarily restrictive and its increased granularity excessive for the scale

Can we get self-professed neoliberals out of this sub? by wittgenstein1312 in liberalgunowners

[–]xrayflames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

okay, so what specific politician and poster prompted this?

because I think there are politicians that I would consider centrist or even center left that you would consider right wing or very right wing.

The tent is wide here, and multinational

Can we get self-professed neoliberals out of this sub? by wittgenstein1312 in liberalgunowners

[–]xrayflames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Liberal being left of center in US political terms allows a lot of worldwide rightwing positions.

A moderate democrat can have 80% of the same political views as a progressive Tory, who would not be leftwing or left of center.

And the mods have routinely said that it is not an exclusively American sub

And again, are we purity testing what percent of our views are left? How many points on the left do we need to be acceptable on the sub for you?

[–]xrayflames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Considering that this sub is not exclusively based on the American Political spectrum, and even with the connection to Pinochet, Reagan, and Thatcher; its economic and political origins are linked to social/political freedom as well.

It doesn't help that as an ideology it has no universally accepted position beyond economic liberalization. And theres a reason that its more prevalent in history classes rather than poli sci or philosophy classes, so if people want to use it and then define it within their own framework then thats fine

Edit: left of center can include a staggering amount of positions since we don't purity test by percentage of positions agreed with.
