FUCKING SHOOT BACK
Sounds like *you* don't have a 60-mile 1-way trip to work with a total and complete lack of any form of public transit as an alternative. When you're going through 2 tanks of fuel a week just to get to and from work, $6 gas gets expensive, fast.That said, have your country offer military extraction and political asylum for the family of anyone who rids us of that meddlesome PDFile, and our mutual problem is much more likely to get solved, b/c otherwise it's a death sentence for our families.
Which brings up an interesting question if Trump decides that this constitutes a threat against the president and orders American law enforcement/military to take him into custody, claiming that he's still an American and therefore Trump has authority over him.
Or as a DLC module for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2120.
Wait for the pre-emptive "blank check" presidential pardon which covers anyone who shoots a registered Democrat. After all, a president's pardon power is unlimited and SCOTUS said that nothing the President can do is illegal, so why *wouldn't* he try it?
Doing BCT in 2004, our squad grabbed our MRE case to go split between ourselves, and it was *nothing* but vomlette MREs. Case was sealed; it just somehow came from the manufacturer that way instead of a mix. Our drill sergeants looked at that and said, "nah, we aren't even that mean; we'll go grab everyone chow from the DFAC and bring it back."*That's* how bad cheese omlettes were.
It didn't "turn" into a thirst-fest. It was always thus. Rennies be *horny*, yo. When I used to joust, I didn't think I was going to die from a freak lance hit. I figured if I died at faire it would be from acute dehydration and a crushed pelvis because holy HELL Rennies are horny.The horny just gets recorded these days. That's the only difference.
Listen, I like the energy of that Timber Wolf, but the Clans are literally eugenicists run by a totalitarian warrior caste, and everyone who isn't a warrior is legally property of the state. The Clans are objective Bad Guys, even by the standards of BattleTech where "there are no actual good guys". It's a bit of a mixed message, is what I'm saying. That Mech should be a Penthesilea or an Anubis, not the flagship Mech of the Clans, if you want a consistent message.
Without condoning their existence whatsoever, carrying 3 spare mags for your primary weapon is usually standard practice. Since they don't have a long gun, their primary weapon would be a handgun, and he's carrying 3x mags for a handgun. The unreasonable part of all of this is handing an 18 year old a plate carrier and firearm and expecting them to exercise LEO powers after 6 weeks of training, not the specific amount of ammo they're humping.
Now, I'll also say that, if you're cosplaying a specific character who's sword has a very long hilt, then that's a 100% fine affirmative defense. You're portraying that person, so you should use what that character is using. Regardless, I want to say again, you did a damn fine job and the cosplay looks fantastic. "Grounded" cosplay that feels like it could really exist is my favorite kind. Nice work.
NP, my handle may be more applicable than usual.Rapier hilts are weird, because you hold a rapier out and it's tip-heavy. You can't really make a bigger pommel because it gets in the way of your wrist flexion, so the only other choice is to lengthen the grip to make a longer lever for your counterbalance. But take a look at IRL rapier hilts: They're SUPPOSED to be tip-heavy. The forward weight of a rapier is intentional and affects thrusting.
Nice work. Cosplayers tend towards making rapier hilts both too large and *especially* too long, but while yours is still a little long it's within reason to still be practical & usable. It's difficult to do that sort of small work out of non-metallic materials, so 100% credit where it's due.For reference, were I buying a real rapier, this is the rough length proportion between hand and hilt that pretty closer to optimal. Like I said, you're pretty close:
"the Nazi tanks were better than the Sherman tanks"They were absolutely farking *not*. They tended towards thicker armor and bigger guns. They were slower, heavier, less transportable, *grossly* less reliable, less ergonomic for the crew, less able to be escaped *from* (meaning the crew's more likely to die), less able to communicate with other battlefield units, and basically less of everything that lets you actually put the gun and armor where you actually need it, WHEN you need it.
True. But that doesn't make war unnecessary. For example, it is going to take a war to get America back out of the hands of the Reich Wing. If you aren't up for a war, then you've ceded the country to them permanently (or, at least, for multiple lifetimes). Sure, argue against war. I agree with you that it sucks. But that doesn't make fighting one wrong. (SPOILER: THE ONE AGAINST IRAN IS FUCKING WRONG)
Bitch please, some of us can wear heels better than women can. Mostly because if you're a woman and you publicly fall in heels you're embarrassed. If you're a *man* and you publicly fall in heels you basically have to kill yourself.*sobs in $40,000 theatre degree*
FWIW, the response to that seems to be "Bible says Go Thou and MAKE disciples of all nations". It doesn't say anything about giving them a choice in the matter; you will be made a disciple whether you like it or not.Which, of course, is why the *actual* answer to Abrahamic forms of religion (most of the Eastern ones seem chill) is to wipe them out first, not try to "live with them", because they're planning to kill everyone, unless we all convert. They are an existential threat to humanity.
Shower bell peppers ftw
Well, you have to remember that empathy is a sin, and as Christians, their sins have been washed away, so it's totally unreasonable for them to still possess any empathy after that.It's what Jesus would have wanted after all, right?
Good advice. First time I got stabbed by a sword (through and through of the calf) I poured alcohol on it, stuffed it with gauze, wrapped duct tape over it, and went back out onstage for the next act. That turned into a 3 month healing time and a very unpleasant antibiotic series. The second time I got stabbed by a sword (between 1st and 2nd knuckles, running parallel to the hand back to the wrist) I went to the ER. Got stiches and was fighting again a week later. Go to the damn doctor.
My man, Calvin doesn't have ADHD. He's gone all the way to AD4K.
And as someone who supports trans people, the US Reich Wing is going to do *all* of that anyway. As long as they exist, nothing you do or so, no obeisance or subservience to their mania, no act you can perform save for your own suicide, will *stop* them from doing it. So the choice is a guarantee of dying on your knees, or an acceptance of dying on your feet - and MAYBE you get to live through the second one. Make a choice.
I don't disagree man, but rinks should suck it up and flood the ice more often anyway. This is nowhere near the damage dealt by, say, a full hockey practice doing 30 minutes of repeated C-cuts on the blue lines. Those take 2-3 full flood and cuts to even back out.That said, yeah, this does tear things up for the other folks during that public skate for sure.
You damn well know what. They aren't going to stop until they're forced to stop by physical force. That's not accelerationism, that's pattern recognition.
Nah, they just send people to sandblast Disney characters off the walls of day care centers, and off of children's tombstones.https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/daycare-center-murals/
If they aren't near me they don't count. And 11 hours of driving doesn't qualify as "near".
I know that the US and Russia are basically interchangeable rogue states now, but I'm pretty sure you've confused them. For everything else the US has done, it was *Russia* who invaded Afghanistan in the 80s (technically, December of `79), not the US. An understandable mistake in modern times, but still wrong.
Of course it was. The people who created the psyop did so from a root of misogyny. But it was an audience primed to listen to it *because* of the previous 20 years of attacks on gaming. The entire audience didn't start off as hating women specifically, they would have hated *anyone* who deigned to criticize the industry because of the history beforehand. That readiness to hate was ID'd and deliberately directed by those who DID/DO hate women.
#13 Hey, HEY! What is this? That's Snoopy up there, so it should be a Mad *DOG* chassis the house is riding on. That's a Mad *CAT* chassis!
Correct, yes. Returning to monke is the only way forward, evidently. At least that way nobody gets surprised when certain troop members are publicly beaten to death instead of having to wait until they're outside of New York Hilton hotels.
FUCKING SHOOT BACK
