@agave_redux Meme game always on point

@X9_redux Pyrenees may be one of the best breeds overall

My day normally starts off with both Doc and Wyatt deciding its attention time since I'm awake or I get the Pyre Paw.

@X9_redux Hell yeah!

@ShipsBeSinking Maybe we can try and do some next runs

Alright reprint of Rad or die is done. I will get them shipped out so they can be put into inventory ASAP. Also have 3 more be designs printed and they will be released whenever American Lictor feels like it. Got more patches coming from Cult as well. Probably have stickers in

@agave_redux Is that something like a Constitutionalist?

Conservative is boomerslop. I'm a Restorationist.

@FENTCOM If only we saw this game ending for what it was 20 years ago

FENTCOM Update Trump to MAGA:

@SlimJim thanks for the quarter inch bone sliver inside your product!

Do you guys remember that part of the first amendment that says “only some speech is allowed some of the time.” No? Me neither. Weird.

Pete Hegseth said this was "the first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since WWII" (which is false, but that's beside the point), so I decided to look at what happened in WW2 and... this might surprise no-one: turns out the Nazis were more humane than the Americans. Probably the most abject part here is that the warship had many survivors - 32 to be precise (apnews.com/article/sri-la…) - and the U.S. made zero effort to rescue them, despite it being required by the laws of naval warfare and simply being the honorable thing to do. It took little Sri-Lanka, with its very modest means - especially compared to the $1 trillion US defense budget - to do the honorable thing and launch a (successful) rescue operation. Even the literal Nazis, during WW2, rescued the survivors of ships their U-boats sank. It was considered a matter of basic honor. The history of this is actually interesting: the Nazis rescued survivors all the way until the so-called Laconia Incident in 1942 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laconia_i…). The Laconia was a British troopship sunk by U-156, a German U-boat, off the West African coast. Right after the sinking, the Nazis immediately began rescuing over 400 survivors, broadcasting - as was common practice - in plain English their position on open radio channels to all Allied powers nearby, so they wouldn't get attacked during the rescue. That's when a US B-24 "Liberator" bomber attacked the submarine anyway, even though all the rescued survivors were on its foredeck. The B-24 killed dozens of Laconia's survivors with bombs and strafing attacks, forcing U-156 to cast into the sea the remaining survivors that she had rescued and crash dive to avoid being destroyed. The American B-24 pilots mistakenly reported they had sunk U-156, and were awarded medals for bravery... This event completely changed Nazi policy on this matter: Karl Dönitz, commander of the U-boat fleet, issued the "Laconiarefehl" - the Laconia Order - forbidding U-boats from rescuing survivors, because the risk to the submarine was now too high. In other words, the Americans during WW2 essentially forced the Nazis to abandon survivors - from the allied side (!) - at sea. Dönitz at least had an excuse.

We fought the Taliban for 20 years only to end up with the Taliban back in charge, armed with our weapons, and an $80 million dollar taxpayer funded weekly annuity. Forgive me if I’m a tad skeptical about another go in the Middle East.

@Houseknech9360 @wayofftheres The very first strike of this war was on the eve of Purim, I’ll let you look into Purim yourself but involves blood sacrifice. The first strike was by the Israelis, they “accidentally” hit an all girl school with guided munitions. As of rn the count is 120 girls just like her

Ireland owes a home to 1.5 billion Indians and Afghans but not to Irishmen.

This better not happen. Everyone knows what happened last snow storm. I almost got eaten by a shark
