Just make Hollywood use adult actors for children's roles. Like they did with Walk Hard.

That terrible struggle between trying to maintain some semblance of pride, and actually reaching out for help.

Intensely envious of the people who never have to drive in their lives. Really feel like I'm missing out there.

Your party of defending regular Americans, ladies and gentlemen.

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

semi-monthly reminder that Frank Jack Fletcher saved the war effort in the Pacific by keeping his carriers alive and fighting his heart out at the same time. a real balancing act that very very few could've pulled off.

Heh

Absolutely not one of my best days.

Nancy Mace was not my type before, and she's not my type now. Be down a bit less bad, please.

I am losing respect for anyone who goes "can I say something" for Nancy Mace. If you want evil racist women with tattoos just go to a bar in the PNW

Sober? On a Saturday night? Couldn't be me.

The Thirty Years War. 7 seasons should be sufficient overall.

youve got 5.6 billion to make a 7 season 56 episode show airing over 15 years, wdyd

Probably the funniest thing about this phenomenon cropping up again and again is that Marx, today, would be begging to be strapped to the biggest ballistic missile available and shot headfirst at the Kremlin. You would need fifty gorilla-sized dudes to be able to restrain him.

Time was that Marxists hoped, prayed, and advocated for a far-right Russian Empire to suffer catastrophic defeat in its colonial wars no matter the cost as a means of bringing it crashing down but that was before they formed an emotional attachment to it as the Ancestral Holy Land of Communism

May all three of the powerful empires on Earth be properly humbled and broken for their crimes.

I'm not joking, btw. The Baseball Hall of Fame deciding a .300 hitting player who was the best infielder of his generation didn't have a shot in hell of getting in? Fuck that nonsense.

"Why did you interrupt my rant about Placido Polanco being a HoF level player with this shit?"

How bankrupt are your beliefs when the concern is not how you want the world to be, and are instead about who you want removed from it?

Incredible blocking from the RB there. Hell, I could have given Dart equivalent protection.

IMAGINE HITTING A 449-FOOT HOME RUN ON THE VERY FIRST PITCH YOU FACED IN THE BIG LEAGUES

Alright, since AT is getting attacked for this, I'm going to come at it from a different angle than him: ideological and strategic, rather than moral. *If* Brian Thompson was everything people say he was, rather than just a cog in the murder machine, it's still just killing a replacable dude.

I see we're back to the only people whose opinions on things matter are infantry, even when it's about life on an aircraft carrier. It was one of my favorite parts of GWOT. How about life in the subs under that carrier? They good, too? Easy job guarding a carrier in 150 ft of water?

Monkey Island Creator's Next Game Is Funded By A Rich Guy Because He Was Tired Of Bad Publisher Deals

The thing about Bernie is that he's a revolutionary without a revolution. A leader incapable of leading. He pretends at wanting massive change, but insists on limited social democratic reforms that are weak compared to Europe, while embracing European social and racial politics. It's pathetic.

Pike and Shot but fantasy turns a lot of D&D style fantasy tropes on their heads. Lots of old races would struggle, and a lot of less impressive ones would really shine. Orcs and Goblins still struggle, Elves and Dwarves face big issues. But Humans and Hobgoblins become *very* dangerous.

Sam (ABeardedPanda)@abeardedpanda.bsky.social · 4d ago

If you have any kind of long lived but slow reproducing race in your fantasy setting, the introduction of a moderately effective firearm is going to demand massive political reforms to deal with the geopolitical consequences of that and like most political reforms, they aren't always received well

This was essentially Castel’s argument in Decision in the West. Sherman disliked Thomas (so did Grant) and felt he lacked aggressiveness. Thomas’s original proposal at Snake Creek Gap might have ended the campaign at its outset with a resounding Federal victory. Yet, he chose a milder option.

Alright, gonna try to get a different historical take: Sherman's Atlanta Campaign was won despite him, his March to the Sea was a bad idea executed poorly, and the only reason it's not remembered that way is because George Thomas was the greatest army builder and defensive mind of the war.

Me: Hitler was personally kind to dogs and children. New York Times: Wow, great guy, that Hitler. We really appreciate it!
