MAGA is dead. Long live America First.

@ACBUTA @ony8590 I think that's why I like MechWarrior/BattleTech so much, personally. Feels very "real" and "grounded" and you can see scenarios where it could be a possible, if unlikely, future. Even down to the political maneuvering in the story, it has a ton of thought put into the minutia.

@ony8590 メックはかなりリアルですね。ロボットより、二本足の戦車って感じなのかも。

AC勢とメックウォリアー勢で異文化コミュニケーションしていけ

@Rothmus The Soviet Union was the most evil human endeavor to have ever existed on this Earth. An entire branch of my family tree was blacked out by them in Ukraine, and they were Russian citizens no less.

@MacyGunnell We've got to break down the psyop barrier of women hating men and men hating women. If we don't work together and like each other, we're all dead. Literally.

The fertility rate of employed conservative women is, on average, 1.39. Liberal women? Only .7 Reminder: the U.S replacement rate is 2.1 Further proving my point— the future of western civilization is screwed if we don’t take appealing to female voters seriously.

@Frost7 But that is when you write the best posts!

Me when I've had stein of bier and then open X.

@JMW5424 Another reason I started taking way better care of myself and getting back in shape. The way the world is getting, should I run into the right one, jeez God I wouldn't want to leave her alone in it.

@Frost7 I just told my husband that if he goes before me I’ll just wander off into the woods and die. Kind of like an old dog.

I’m GenX/elder millennial cusp baby. And same.

@JMW5424 @RepJackKimble @ConInsurgent

@RepJackKimble @ConInsurgent Female being the key word. Now do males.

Lindsey Graham has now been in politics 12,478 days without a single female staffer accusing him of sexual harrassment.

@crusade_enjoyer I started checking the locations on those. If I see the Indian subcontinent, I block instantly.

If you interact with these accounts, you should lose the ability to vote.

@crusade_enjoyer If you don't need stealth for highly contested airspace (which we have the B-2 for), the Bone's objectively the most capable bomber we've ever built by an enormous margin. Also able to respond to quick changes on the ground with lightning speed. Absolutely invaluable IMO.

@Frost7 Just an objectively beautiful platform. I wish they would keep it around.

The B-1 weighs 470,000 lbs. It can carry 75,000 lbs of ordnance. It can hit Mach 1.25. For reference, the WW2-era B-17 weighed 65,000 lbs total.

@PapaPius12 @crushmarxismnow Census data doesn't agree with you. Not even close. Chicago north side is ~66% white. My city is ~65%. 🙄

@Frost7 @crushmarxismnow If you live in the north side of Chicago your community is 80%+ White.

This country used to be so white that this is what counted as identity politics…

@askaya Doing a 3-gun match with all Russian weaponry. 😄

I’ve gotten a few comments saying I should make more videos. I’m down. What would you want to see? What kind of content?

@ImGinnyRobinson "Be better." No, I shall become worse.

“Be kind.”

@rawsalerts Just a thought, maybe if the Texas GOP didn't have two senators representing Israel and a governor representing India, they wouldn't be in such dire straits.

🚨#BREAKING: Newsweek are reporting that Republicans could lose control of Texas for the first time in nearly 30 years, raising major concerns among Republican leaders and voters across the state.

@zouchchin @planefag What? You might want to recheck your naval history, there are quite a few carriers at the bottom of the sea.

@planefag Currently there is no recorded loss of a carrier, so it's safe to say it's not yet obsolete, though there are various threats like the Chinese DF-21 Anti-ship Missile. Until it actually destroys a carrier, we can't say it's obsolete.

It is 1853. Battleships are declared obsolete due to small steam-powered ships with the Paixhan shell-firing gun. It is 1862. Battleships are declared obsolete due to steam-powered ironclad rams. It is 1870. Battleships are declared obsolete due to submarines and attack craft equipped with the Whitehead self-propelled torpedo. It is 1921. Battleships are declared obsolete due to air power. It is 1945. Battleships are declared obsolete due to airpower, and are replaced by carriers. It is 1952. Carriers are declared obsolete due to nuclear powered submarines and nuclear weapons. It is 1985. Carriers are declared obsolete due to increasing sophistication of anti-ship missiles. It is 2018. BAE Systems has developed a guided hyper-velocity cannon shell that makes 127mm guns viable dual-purpose (anti-surface/anti-air) weapons against modern threats. It is 2023. An explosion of "cheap" drone technology makes biplane-speed targets a "modern" threat that dual-purpose 127mm guns firing proximity-fused ammo are ideally suited to counter. It is 2026. Continuing research with Japan has made a main-battery railgun viable...

@planefag I've always been of the opinion that battleships will make a comeback the moment someone makes a viable boat-mounted railgun. Estimated range is about 300 nm, which puts 80% of the world population within its effective range, and no point defense is going to shoot down a slug.

“My enemies are religiously motivated. They are not realists, like me, the woman who wants to sacrifice magical cows to harvest purifying ash to create a potion to rebuild a temple to usher in the messiah.”

@planefag It's 3015. The tank grew arms, legs, and a fusion reactor.

It is 1919. Tanks are declared obsolete due to anti-tank rifles. It is 1936. Tanks are declared obsolete due to rapid improvements in anti-tank gun technology. It is 1949. Tanks are declared obsolete due to shaped-charge anti-tank weapons. It is 1953. Tanks are declared obsolete due to tactical nuclear weapons. It is 1973. Tanks are declared obsolete due to anti-tank guided missiles. It is 2006. Tanks are declared obsolete due to IEDs and 5th-generation warfare. It is 2024. Tanks are declared obsolete due to FPV drones. [To Be Continued]

My politics right now.
