Fucking brownshirts

It’s a law of nature, like how you can spot prey animals by their lateral eye-placement. You can spot a douche by the height of their axle.

I’ll punch a Nazi with you, but that .ml tag tells me you’re too far off the deep end to have a meaningful conversation about this.

They forfeited the right to be called my countrymen when they spat on the founding principles of the nation. They are foreign to the American ideal.

They sold these and the strips next to one another at the dollar store when I was a kid. Born '95

They see no difference. Fox calls him a liberal and a communist. These are buzzwords with no meaning beyond emotional impact. They do not care about political theory.

There is a simple test to determine if you’re a tankie, specifically.

1. Did Tiananmen Square happen? Specifically, was it bloody, consented/orchestrated by the CCP leadership, and resulted in the deaths of unarmed civilian protesters?

2. Was it wrong that it happened?

If both answers are yes, you’re not a tankie. You believe that oppressive regimes are evil regardless of which side of the political spectrum it spawns from.

Bonus points if you think Stalin was anything but benevolent. If you think his methods were “tough, but firm,” then you’re a tankie.

It’s about psychology under fire. The doctors that treat gunshot wounds in a safe, secure ER don’t have to be trained to do so in life threatening situations when the patient can’t be moved to a secure location.

EMTs -do- sometimes experience this, and as someone who knows a former EMT, the experience is psychologically devistating when you’re there on-scene watching someone die.

I would never advocate for causing harm or distress in the name of training. That said, if you needed to desensitize an 18yo wannabe doctor, sticking him in a field with a bunch of pigs, where a drill instructor shoots one right next to them and they have to stabilize the wound right away… Yeah, that’s probably really good training for that specific role…

Iirc they’ll be using gell dummies again. Treating live animals was a way of desensitizing medics to trauma shock. Seeing a living thing in pain creates a startle effect that’s important to train out to save lives. I don’t like the idea, but it makes sense…

That was part of the deal. Mutual blackmail. It’s been alluded to several times in the Maxwell testimonies.

Remember kids, every black line says the word Trump over and over and over. Spread the word.

If your goal is to lead the race (for best quality of life), then 1st place is the goal. 1st place doesn’t slow down or they won’t be 1st for long. If a utopia is the finish line, but not for another half marathon, then focus on the next mile and/or the next position in the race. That’s how progress is made.

I get those are ears, but I’m reading that as “Sigma Kitty” and that’s 1000x funnier to me.

3D printed cart holder I got from Etsy. Pretty nifty and very stable. Unfortunately the spacing is such that you can only read the GBA labels stacked. The GB/GBC carts obscure the one behind. The rumble carts hang nicely on top though!

I also do not throw geriatric technology. Would sooner rip my own arm off…

Thank you! I’ve fallen in love with physical media again… Fuck Netflix

These.

I mean… Isn’t that how humanity rolls? Historically speaking anyways, 99 out of 100 people live and die close to where they were born, while the oddball goes and does a Leif Erikson for his whole life and then we get Iceland. His psychology compels him to do this.

The support Djin told me the enchantment is written on Read-Only-Magic runes. We can’t patch it in, and no one knows the rumplestiltskin recovery key, so we can’t disable the indestructability enchantment either to disintegrate it. Honestly, it’ll take a hard reboot of the material plane, but Xanathar is online right now and I’m told it’s pretty important stuff, and he has the reboot button anyway so take it up with him.

I mean, Spielburg brought us Medal of Honor and that slapped hard. I bet JJ could make something cool.

“Isn’t that just terrific! Oh!”
