Well I'm not backing down.

I do not believe SHA-2 is secure enough to build a durable store of value.

Isn't that a mission in Saints Row 2?

Actually now that I think of it, it's SEVERAL missions in Saints Row 2, and at least one in Saints Row 3.

Absolutely typical American answer.

Have you been to America? Do you understand how far things have slid here in the last thirty years?

We have bridges fucking collapsing.

You foreigners only see two Americas: the megacities and the picturesque rural.

You don't see fucking Kansas City or Detroit or Gary, Indiana.. You don't see miles upon miles of abandoned post-industrial brownfield of a country that's been bled dry since Nixon.

I don't think you understand just how much I don't like feminism, bam.

I have said before that the only course is to run this plane that is western civilization into the ground nose first. Maybe you did not comprehend, maybe you did not believe that I meant it.

I did mean it. I fully comprehend the consequences of it and am prepared to deal with the implications.

DOM, just stop.

This is bigger than you. You can either let the community do what it's gonna do, or tomorrow there'll be a KiA3: Back to the Future where it's acceptable to talk about the first real war since 1991.

Like, really?

Yes, really.

With as bad as Europe had gotten I couldn't envision anyone wanting to take it over.

Why do you think Trudeau just up and ended his emergency powers?

Very probably because Russia actually declared war on Ukraine instead of maintaining the "These can't be Russian soldiers, Russian soldiers don't have mustache!" routine about the Donbas rebels.

First, so that you understand my perspective, I'm a Quaker. I don't attend meeting because frankly most Quakers (at least Iowa Yearly) are so naïve they unironically believe everything the cultural marxists say.

We may be crazy, because we genuinely believe in building heaven on Earth. But I want you to understand that we are NOT Protestants (we're basically the Puritans radical left wing). We didn't rise out of Luther's continental movement, we were a group that felt the Anglicans didn't go far enough and that the only thing Cromwell did wrong was die before the work was done.

So with all that said, I'll get to my point.

Protestantism is the problem.

Luther and Calvin and Wesley did not build. They only destroyed, and everything their movements touch crumbles.

Then why aren't you shooting by now?

If you're going to be hyperbolic then so am I.

The left does not "control all institutions". They control the high visibility institutions you care about, but it's all facade. Their power is a mile wide and an inch deep because they don't have control over the slower moving, structural pieces like the courts (they have ONE court, the Nutty Ninth, and even there they don't win all the time), nor the unstoppable force that is the invisible hand of consumer revealed preference.

They're trying to shape consumer preference, but their efforts are like trying to build a dam on the Mississippi by hand with a garden trowel.

If you GENUINELY believed they controlled everything, you'd have resorted to violence by now. The fact that you haven't proves the hyperbole.

What you are, is mad that you don't get any high visibly wins. You're the sort of fan who burns their baseball cap because the home team lost the ONE game you chose to attend the whole year. Destroying a high profile individual is not hard, for our side or for theirs; and our side is learning to pick better people to elevate to high visibility positions while the left is stuck with the fact that their loudest people are also the craziest.

Define the problem, and we'll give you a solution.

Your problem is you've chosen the solution you want, like a carpenter bringing a framing hammer to a tenderloin cooking contest.

I knew a guy in Goonswarm who did recordkeeping for the RCN. Told me that for it's 2011 deployment to Libya, the HMCS Vancouver went through something like seventy thousand cans of beer. For the time and men aboard it worked out to about a can and a half per person-day (my understanding is the RCN consumption limit is two 12 oz cans per day).

because

No, because she's a washout who wouldn't have made the cut for Team USA.

Even the 50 cent army can see that, and they're furious (and rightly so; Team China had better domestic talent that they passed over gambling on a scrub defector).

This is not a new phenomena in the Olympics by any measure, it happens all the time. B-tier athletes deliberately try to get multiple citizenships to give themselves more shots at competition. It's fairly normal in hockey, basketball, baseball, and football competitions for players who play on the same pro team to play against each other under different flags.
