Their troops got actual combat experience. Also, In another thread there was speculation(?) that some of the tech on their destroyer was part of their compensation.

China made a non-nuclear hydrogen bomb

Not the person you responded to, but having the read the books the show is enjoyable. It barely tries to adapt anything from the books, but the little easter eggs show at least somebody in the writers room is familiar with the source material.

You basically know the end of the main narrative by the midway point of the book. It’s how the character got there that’s missing.

He also did a fundraiser with a stretch goal to get a chapter released. He never released (wrote?) it despite exceeding the amount for fair bit. I won’t say scammed since it was for charity, but a “fuck you” version of the third book would be fitting given the track record.

I feel you comrade. I’ve worked the night and day shift of a few jobs. Being nightshift is basically a second class for all. Nothing in the way society is structured accounts for us.

H.R.1161 - To authorize the President to enter into negotiations to acquire Greenland and to rename Greenland as "Red, White, and Blueland".

Alexa, play “right round”.

It’s been years, wasn’t aware of the name change. Tragic to see such a level of decline. I could mistake November for Liam absent knowledge of current name. He’s like rock-bottom in terms of internet nominally leftist.

Is that Liam? A dumbass take screams Liam, but there is only one good host on that show which leads to doubt.

The bit at the end about FaceTiming eels reminded me of this study where video calls were used to enrich parrots.

We aren’t ready for the American Sulla yet, but it’s seemingly inevitable at this point.

I have no idea, but it would have been a 2020 to mid 2021 episode. It was a riff while trying to guess what a startup was.

Trash future predicted this.

As a communist in the USA, it’s weirdly affirming how both USSR citizens and now red book users both experience a shock in learning the reality of living in the west. The former tragic because it was caused by transitioning to it, but this time it’s vaguely warm. There is no threat, just exposure.

I saw a post where people were shocked to learn that ambulance costs weren’t government propaganda. I know the app trends bougie and liberal in the mainland, but maybe that’s good given the current context? They are being exposed to the reality of America rather than the RFA version.

Yeah, in my experience most psychiatrists are too stable to get it and misdiagnose at least once if you haven’t figured it out yet for yourself based off all the malpractice the last one did.

Side note: can we not put jokes in the CW? It defeats the purpose to overly obfuscate the content being warned of. Just say self- harm or something similar that gets the message across without making the cw a puzzle box that contains a trigger word.

Somebody else said ‘paraphrasing’: an Andreas quake would be funny rn. How would a big quake impact a fire? Idk. Would probably be a net gain in that it gives ammo to those who oppose gruesome Newsome seeking higher office. That man has the potential to be a new Kissinger if nothing stops him. Complete ghoul, he must be stopped somehow.

Can’t get Deadhouse Gates out of my head since the IOF response started.

Children are dying. The injustices of the world hide in those three words.

The phrase is directly lifted from Malazan, so that’s my guess. Basically cultists who fucked dying soldiers.
