@ConeOfArc The Nazi could've won if they hadn't betrayed Russia. Or wasted resources in Africa. Or done the Holocaust. Or allied with Japan. Or...
They were so advanced! Panzers! MG42! V2!... Horses.

Yeah yeah we've heard this all before by expert military strategists:

They could have won if they didn’t split up Army Groups Center and South on the Eastern Front in 1943 and went all in on Stalingrad with Army Group South and all in on Moscow with Army Group Center and North. A tactical retreat in North Africa in 43 was also needed to fortify Europe. Italy was the weak link. Should have finished the battle of London in 1940 and continued to hit RAF airfields as they were on the brink of collapse, then followed through with an invasion before December 1941. America wouldn’t have joined the war and peace talks could have ensued.

@thesoypill The satellites aren't gonna fall out of the sky when the big man croaks.
As long as I can have high speed internet anywhere in North America, they'll keep getting my money.

This moron thinks that SpaceX stock would go to 0 if Elon Musk died.
Did Apple go to 0 when Steve Jobs died?
Almost like the company is made up of thousands of workers contributing to the mission that people are valuing.
Not to mention that Musk constantly makes dumb calls that actually hurt the investors like stock manipulation, PR disasters, or just having bad ideas that his employees have to ignore.

Cute theory, let's play it out. A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last. But... oh wait, there is no pile. It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded. The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it. Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0. The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession. But it gets worse. Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all. Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees. So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked. So the monkeys sit there. No bananas. No rockets. No coordinates to get more banananas. Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer. OH And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.

@GoalArchive26 @FreddyLA7 The Gas Station outside the airport in Prince George B.C. (literally named Airport Husky) is a gun store that specializes in tacticool rifles.
The most rural HELL YEAH thing I've ever seen.

@FreddyLA7 LMAO you can buy guns in gas stations where I’m from

@gsd7373 @Kenslihere @FarahRonnie @FreddyLA7 Mil-spec means dimensions. As in the part that is 10.5mm wide on one gun is also 10.5mm on another.
English
@Kenslihere @FarahRonnie @FreddyLA7 99% of all AR-15s on the commercial market are made with milspec parts.
The AR-15 was created for the military as a weapon of war.

@IfuckSandCastle @yurimaxed Yeah, like Bass Pro/Cabelas. It's a hunting/fishing store that sells all the associated stuff like camping gear.

@yurimaxed I thought y'all had stores specifically for guns

Possibly dumb question but where do non-Americans think we get our guns from? Like yeah the outdoor sports shop sells weapons they are for hunting

They were selling rifles in there

As a DM, I don’t run campaigns with evil PCs. I get that some folks might like it, but for us, it’s all about being heroes. As a player, last time I played where there was one evil thief in a group of good characters, I didn’t make past 3 sessions… too much in party fighting because of it. What say you?

Is this some kind of joke I don't understand, or is people driving without headlights a legitimate problem in Turkey?

Ethan Ralph, convicted revenge pornographer, recipient of numerous domestic violence restraining orders by multiple women in multiple states, who has been caught on video and on audio issuing threats of violence and death, as well as having many testimonials from women claiming he threatened to rape and murder they and their families has decided to sueeeeeeeeeeeeeeee me.
Being a well known alcoholic and drug addict with a functional iq of 91 I have no doubt that this genius idea was fed to him via his discord boyfriends whose legal expertise includes "asking google", "reading that one wikipedia article two whole times", and a full and in depth "conversation with chatgpt".
The truth is simply Ralphs feelings have been deeply hurt by me laughing at him on the internet. And this threat of a lawsuit and potential lawfare an incredibly weak attempt at intimidation. As a terminally ill cancer patient I have no doubt Ralph hopes the stress and anxiety of a court case would be detrimental to my health and that he can attempt to use the court system to enact some sort of petty revenge.
While I don't have great personal knowledge of lawsuits and the costs associated with them (other than what everyone would know which is that they can be pricey) I'll just stream a bit more and if need be do a fundraiser. And unlike the weekly fundraisers Ralph engages in to buy tortas, pay rent, get plane tickets, and pay off arrears in child support my fundraising would be sensical and practical.
For the time being I'll simply have to await whatever ESL scribbled papers his Mexican lawyer/plumber/dog walker whip up and send via his pig pen. In the meantime I'll probably do a stream this upcoming Friday to go over the history of ralphs provable and documented threats against me personally from stalking me, stalking my wife, encouraging trespassing, violence, as well as platforming people connected to my swatting.
I'm sorry my laughter hurt you so deeply Ethan, Daddy Jim still loves you lmfao.

@ScooterCasterNY Autism is a spectrum, from "likes Star Trek a bit too much" to "needs help wiping their ass"
If you're throwing your body against a riot shield wall, you're definitely on the Star Trek end (though in her case it's probably Bluey) and you don't get to use it as an excuse for shit.

@GunGnome @SCShipyards I used to work where Canada's atomic clock is. Had no idea it broadcast like that. I did always stop in front of the lab to set my mechanical watch by the readout every time it was running behind, though.
English
Maybe I'm just a weirdo but sometimes I think about dead technology while it's still alive.
Every night, my watch takes a few minutes out of its little schedule and it starts to listen for a radio signal from its friends at the world's atomic time clocks.
Eventually those signals will be shut down or upgraded in some way that fundamentally changes them so old receivers can no longer pick them up. There will come a night where this watch hears that signal for the last time ever. The watch has no way of knowing this is the final time, and it will keep listening for that series of pulses until it's no longer capable of listening.
Because this watch is solar powered (and because it's a Casio so it'll live forever) some archaeologist hundreds of years from now could probably dig up my skeleton and take my watch and wear it for the rest of their life, forever wondering what that little "RC" message means at night.

@Dionisio111111 @Anc_Aesthetics They have explained it. We used Tricknology, bestowed upon us by our Father, Yakub (peace be upon him) to enslave them and erase their history. In 1914, our 6000 year rule ended, allowing Fard Muhammed to enlighten the Tribe of Shabazz, so they can reclaim thier divinity.

@Anc_Aesthetics I wish they explained in detail how they lost the entire world if they ruled all of it and were so advanced. I know the ancient kangz had very well kept historical records

A few years ago I had a pretty brutal boxing injury and they put me in a shared hospital room with this older black guy, likely in his 60s.
All he did all day was watch Black alternative history videos. You would not believe the shit that was in these videos. Claims of millions of black Americans killed by cops, yes millions. Claims of black Americans building a space faring civilization that was shut down when Nixon had the black scientists assassinated. Hours of videos on Egypt and how black people ruled the earth for thousands of years before the White man came along.
If you want to know why black Americans are so delusional about almost everything you have to understand that this is their social media algorithm. Instead of watch a documentary on the Battle of Agincourt they watch AI fake history videos on how they were genetically experimented on which is why they can't reproduce their inventions that created the world.

@JDtheBotGuy @RdlrtM86333 @TruckUnicorn Disney bought the franchise after the prequels were made. Also, Lucas had MORE creative control of the prequels than the original Trilogy.

Just after escaping Tatooine in A New Hope, Han Solo expresses strong disbelief in The Force, Jedi, and all their stuff as voodoo and witchcraft.
Thanks to the Prequels trying to shoehorn as many characters in, everyone there except Luke has had a personal experience with the Jedi.
Including Han's First Mate & Business partner, Chewie, who evidently had been flying with him for years and never passed that info on.
