Same with Imperial. It's just a better system.
Imperial and Metric both have their value. Metric is good for very large or small numbers, so mostly math and academic. Imperial is useful for everyday scenarios and trade work, because its always focused around useful default sizes and being divisible by 2/3/4s.
The fact that they act like Imperial has no use or is inferior shows just how little actual work most of them do, or how much they pride themselves on using a tool system designed for micro and macro science for their simple baking.
Its the same with American English. Its hugely flexible to be used by a common man or idiot to accomplish so many tasks. You can bend words to mean all sorts of things, break its rules, and generally just make shit up and it'll still work quite naturally. You can learn to speak it with zero time spent studying, just embroiling into slang.
Whereas many European languages are riddled with rules and genders that you need to memorize by the thousands, and they will scoff at you if you didn't know this word you never heard before was feminine and not masculine (its an inanimate object). Sure Germans have a word for everything, by just jamming dozens of other words into something incomprehensible to say outloud.
If it was being argued from a place of sincerity and noble intent, the argument might have some ground to stand on.
Melonie Mac did none of that, she is only against it because it intrudes on her territory and power as a woman when guys jerk it to anyone who isn't her, and once her miniscule attempts to shroud it in right wing terms failed immediately defaulted to the same insults and low IQ defenses any other woman or Leftie does when doing so. There is a reason why the phrase "Woke Right" started being used at the same time she was relevant, and why anyone who thinks it was purely a "Psyop" is retarded.
I completely agree that gratuitous sexuality has a time and place and shouldn't be the default, nor is it a mark of quality on its own. But that's a differentiation to be hard decided once the barbarians are no longer at the gate.
As you pointed out, Ruby Ridge was also a malicious effort. It wasn't incompetence.
It, and Waco, were clearly both. There was attempted malice to entrap and destroy men who were innocent enough of what they tried to pin on them, and then pure incompetence in how they went about doing so. From being so obviously Feds that they were known by everyone to fucking up things like a court date and treating it like a terror attack in the making.
It certainly was, the place was becoming a meme factory of this kind of dicking around during the last day.
While its very funny, its probably also pretty counter productive towards any true "political statement." Which is why anyone trying to say "White Nationalists and racists are the biggest donors" is clearly a fool.
Endless Legend is probably the most unique "not-Civilization but still just Civilization." I enjoy a lot of its more wierd factions and its biggest weakness, combat, isn't much worse than Civs utterly braindead combat.
Its a little older, though the sequel is coming soon, but its also a solid entry point into the entire Endless Franchise which cross numerous genres you'll probably enjoy as well.
Not according to the FBI... under Janet Reno
Are we relying on the narratives and actions of people whose literal, absurd incompetence is the entire reason that people were angry enough to commit such a bombing? That were on record deleting numerous things that made them look bad within the day it happened?
Elohim City literally exists, and numerous groups have come and gone through it over the years. Timmy wouldn't have come close to accomplishing what he did without their help, even if it was just hyping him up before bailing out.
As is tradition at this point
As is also tradition, the FBI and all other agencies being utterly useless and retarded to the point of failing to stop an obvious violent attack is also expected.
They had infiltrated the group that Randy Weave lived near to, and they fucked up their entrapment so badly it lead to Ruby Ridge. Same with the guy who infiltrated Waco, who was literally found out and used as a mule to communicate.
A lot of that was the ATF, but I'm gonna take a page out of your book and put them all under the same retarded umbrella.
Trump has been much more proactive in celebrating the various sports scenes he likes than most Presidents, seemingly entirely out of passion.
That's why they hate it. It humanizes him, destroys their image of this psycho dictator who spends all day plotting evil when he invites winning teams to eat McDonald's at the White House on him just to hang out with them.
Its also probably why so many of their owners and big supporters were easily folded into being on his team.
The alternative is to say that the White Nationalist movement is so small it effectively does not exist in any meaningful way.
I would absolutely say this, because the tiny fractured differences in ideology are so pronounced that the "movement" can hardly sit in a shithole forum like this without breaking away into infighting from which no meaningful cohesion can form outside of memeing on the internet.
There is a reason why its accomplished nothing in decades. The biggest it ever did was the OKC Bombing 30~ years ago, and that took the coordination of dozens of splinter groups that barely were working together.
There is no movement, just a collection of guys varying in levels of pissed off and hateful. Sometimes they find each other, and then devolve into /pol/ level discourse.
because it isn't the majority population of whites in America.
Of course it isn't. That's been my contention this entire time. Its a fraction of who is donating to this woman, not some majority or primary group.
See, when you throw the hard R in there
I do it to most people around it, its not said with malice. It literally just amuses me to do so. Same when I use random Spanish or Yiddish words.
I admit I don't use Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
I don't either (well I use Facebook but only to share memes around in a small circle of friends), but I've trolled around a lot of forums and sites over the years.
Much like whatever that law people quote say about "all sites that aren't explicitly Right wing become Left wing" it is also true that all sites that aren't explicitly racist will usually have some sort of black power discussion eventually.
Back in 2020 random niche gaming reddits had to stop and talk about Floyd and have a circlejerk about nigger problems. And you had to agree with it.
I'm trying to maximize the number of people who would be under the legacy media's definition of a White Nationalist
Okay, but you are also using this maximized number to make a point about them somehow being a primary source of donations is where the issue lay. Because while the legacy media might paint them all with the same brush, they themselves do not and a sizable portion will not be participating in this entire thing.
and the comments reflected that
No. I've explained why this is untrue already so you can just refer back to it. But this is a massive assumption based on what you want to things to be and you have worked backwards to every other point based on this assumption.
It was, just like Second Wave was in the original game, though I can't say if it was a patch of its own or with the WotC expansion.
Either way, it was also a literal day one mod when the game came out so its existence was just them adding it "officially."
You're reading too much into the comment.
Language matters my nigger. Its one of the tools the Left used to control and shape narratives and its very powerful what people will consciously reveal when they aren't carefully curating it.
Black people don't just come up to me online and start spouting off political diatribes
Again, really showing your privilege here if this is the case. I'm envious, but you clearly don't know half of what reality is if this is the case.
People who post things like this act like voting is some monumental undertaking we have to suffer and fight to accomplish. It might have been historically, but now its literally "I go to a local library after work, I wait in line for 10 minutes, I check a box and go home."
If there is even 1% chance it works, then you are an absolute fool for not putting in that pittance of effort.
I think anyone who thought otherwise in the last like 5 years is probably too stupid to understand big thinking thoughts like "doubt" or "loyalty."
He showed his pro-Jew, and many other stances anathemic to his "fanbase," around 2020 and never once backed down from them.
NoA has always been the bastard millstone dragging NoJ down, and that is unlikely to ever change. They pushed all the blame on Treehouse (deserved) in the 2010s and managed to save their own skins, but they will always be one of the biggest failures of their entire organization.
Not that NoJ is perfect or innocent, but they are terrible in the way all Jap businesses usually are.
What's always funny about XCOM2 is that they literally added in a setting to straight double the turn timer, and it goes from feeling ridiculous and limiting to fair and accomplishing the task it sets out to do. You have time to make plans and strategic moves, but not enough to sit still and turtle. Same with the similar option for the Avatar timer.
Against the Storm does and have 25+ handmade difficulties
What's funny is how they are not only handmade, but feed into each other in a way that makes them become more than just their baseline effect.
Like, it gradually forces you to engage with each mechanic more and more in depth piece by piece, slowly teaching you how to deal with it before it becomes a monumental task. Mostly because you have to do them in order. Prestige 2 (double storm) turns Prestige 5 (villagers leave twice as fast) into a major issue. Prestige 9 (slower glade events) make mean you now can no longer pop at the start of drizzle and be done before storm and need to engage with the "speed up" mechanics. Cysts start at Prestige 3 and they are basically a non-issue all the way until Prestige 11 when their effects are ramped up to be a nightmare. And all the various "you have one less option and rerolls cost more" levels make you move out of your comfort zone by denying you the chance to get your favorite build every map.
Its truly a great game, and the fact that the only use of going up Prestige is your own pride and the "Seals" that only make your "run" go a little longer, makes it an even better system. So you get more resources, but that just saves time. You are never compelled beyond gently to move up the chain, and you still have to prove you can beat each level before the next one is available.
Personally I stay on 14 until I reach the map edge where I have to go higher. 15 is where things get too stressful for continued play.
What's funny is that 5~ years ago I think a lot of us might have given it some consideration. Trump is old, that age might be troublesome and something to look out for.
Post Biden? After they assured us that a drooling vegetable was totes good to run the country? Fuck it, we ball. Trump is sharp as he needs to be and surrounded by guys more trustable than the ones Biden had making decisions for him.
So treat black people like black people treat them.
Its just so easy!
