I agree. Why is Putin needlessly killing white people? I was told he would be our savior by a bunch of Ethno-Nat types. I guess they must have just been confused.

Ah, so this is what caused all those memes I have been seeing about confusing .50-cal ammo and an AT4.

There was someone that went to film one of the ghost cities and decided to clap in the downtown just to hear it echo. The echo caused some panels to fall off of one of the buildings.

I can only imagine the actual quality of it.

The Left: replaces entire words in other languages in the most retarded way possible to be "inclusive"

Also The Left: "I dont understand why all of those Hispanixs are joining the Republican Party! They must be racist.

You have no idea how happy I am that Null still has a rational brain in his head. I have seen so many people who should know better acting like Russia will be their savior against the Woke Mob. When in reality, the best bet is still the US. We just have to elect people who will enforce liberty on the internet, and luckily the wind is blowing in our direction on that front.

Right now, killing time until Victoria 3 launches. Then I will probably be playing that for ages to come.

As for actually playing, right now my rotation consist of the following:

Anno 1800: Got to scratch that Victorian itch somehow, this will be the way.

Earth Defense Force 4.1: Have had it for a while and wanted to play it. Finally got around to it after watching Russian Badger give it a play. Very fun and silly arcade game, for if you just want something where you can blow up giant spiders and robots without having to put too much effort into it (the gameplay being very much "Easy to learn, Difficult to master")

Warframe: My buddies got into this recently again, and we have started getting back to the old grind. Unfortunately, I had never really got that far on PC (having previously played on Xbox), so I am somewhat restarting from scratch. At least I roughly remembered my build, so I have my old frame and guns back.

Snowrunner: Will always stay in my rotation as a good downtime "podcast" game. Fun offroad trucking game.

Power to the People: Recently got this. Its a power management game, where you are in charge of building and maintaining the power grid of a region, and connecting cities to the grid without overloading lines and substations (as well as producing enough power of course). Interestingly, it is one of the only modern games I have seen handle renewable power in a reasonable way. By which I mean, arguably the optimal strategy for the game is to have something like Gas or Coal as your base load power, then use Renewables as something you can turn on to pick up the slack during peak demand.

More like a rival group of trafficker's killing the first group so they could kidnap you for themselves.

Russia has made it very clear, especially with their "republics" they established. This is about rebirthing the Soviet Union. Just like Putin said. After all, it is the "worst event of the 20th century" that the Union collapsed. Of course, if you ask the Polish, Ukrainians, Baltics, and Czechs disagree. But that doesnt matter! The Russians are offended! So we need to forcibly give them back over to Russia because they said so!

Once again, I am sure its is merely a coincidence that some of the only nations in NATO that actually pay their debts and train the militaries are the ones that are near Russia.

Who is getting blood on our hands? You are right, world policing doesnt work. You cant make people believe things they dont want to believe themselves. But we have a nation who wants to be free, and is fighting to prove it. So have at it. Give them the guns they need to fight for their own freedom. Whats so ignoble about that?

I dont understand what you mean. None of them want to be part of Russia, and so they will all fight for their freedom. If Russia wants someplace to not "shit where they eat", they can go to Belarus (who is the only former Soviet state that actually likes Russia). Every other nation in that region would sooner burn it all to the ground than go back to Russia. And quite frankly, I dont fucking blame them. And even if they lose, I hope they drag millions of vatniks to hell before they fall.

There are enough of us on here to break the mold, but the overwhelming majority of comments I see on here are favoring Russia to varying degrees. I think the only two of us who are hardcore Pro-Ukraine (to the point of "Burn Russia to the Ground!") are me and SupremeReader.

I honestly dont care. They are allowed to believe stupid things. The only thing that makes me sad is that Ukraine might fail in the end because the West is currently being lead by baboon-brained retards, who are more interested in ideology than actually practicing Realpolitik. So they are using this as an excuse to both try and beat Russia and enforce their cultural hegemon over the West. Which will just result in backlash and new governments. And those governments will give power back to their citizens and end their suffering, but probably snap back too hard and throw Ukraine to the wolves (1).

But when that happens, the only one I will seek to damn are the Western Fabian Elitist who let it happen. And hope that one day Ukraine can rise up to throw off its chain again, like Poland before them.

(1): Sidenote: The obvious answer here is to keep giving Ukraine weapons but stop with the money transfers. But the Elites wont do that because they are still using it for money laundering. And a Populist Revolt government may just say "Fuck it all. Let them burn, while we take care of our own." Which is not an unreasonable response after what has been done to our nations. I am just ashamed and upset that it had to come to that, because our Elites care more about their own vanity and egos than being pragmatic statesmen. Which matches the leaders Pre-WW1 now that I think about it.

I dont know about you, but I would unironically watch this sitcom. Too bad no one would ever make it.

Actually, I take that back. Someone get Razorfist and Eric July on the phone.

Exactly. I always see people bring up how its terrible that all these countries joined NATO and that is a threat to Russia. But I never see those same people stopping to ask why they join NATO.

But I suppose it is irrational. After all, none of those nations have histories with Russia. None of them have any reason at all to hate Russia. They definitely werent oppressed for centuries and are now saying "Never again" at the concept of Russian aggression. And If something like that happened, I am sure it would not make them want to join a military alliance for the purpose of protection. It would also have nothing to do with seeing threats of Russian aggression and responding with "Do it pussy! Make my fucking day!"

It really is a mystery why Poland, the Czechs, the Slovenians, the various Baltic states, and others are giving Ukraine just about every weapon that isnt nailed down, with a note attached saying "Give'em hell!"

I am sure people on here already know that I am cutting against the grain of this forum by taking Ukraine's side in the war. But with that said, I have to say:

WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, YOU ABSOLUTE BABOONS!!!!

No shit they cut you off! This is war! You dont keep supplying your enemy in the event of a war. Especially if its something vital they rely one and have few options to get from elsewhere. Hey, remember that guy with the heavy tan and weird tupee saying "Hey, Russia is a threat. Maybe you should look for new sources of oil and gas. Like the US."

Oh wait, thats right. I remember those smug European pricks smirking and laughing it up over how dumb he was. So you know what? Let them freeze. And I hope that when they come crawling to us for help, we have someone in power who will tell them to get fucked with rusty barbwire.

The hubris of the elite abounds. But that is why we will win.

I’m not. I have seen a lot of people, Left and Right, using what went down in Kansas as a sign that the tide is turning against the Cons and it’s all abortions fault.

Those same people leave off the fact that in the election, the MAGA types ran away with it and there was a ton more turnout on our side than the Dem side. And it was entirely down to the amendment being vague and open ended that it failed. My entire family is MAGA l, and we all voted it down before turning around and favoring Schmidt for Governor. This also before we get into the more recent polls showing momentum shifting back to the Right in pretty much every race, with some races even flipping.

But I welcome the Dems thinking this will make it a cakewalk. It will make it Virginia all over again.

He is one of the only modern comedians I have seen who still makes fun of both sides politically. Which I am sure is part of the reason they don’t like him.

Here is the link to the actual article they were using as the basis.

A quick point of order: I marked this as NSFW just for the content of the video. But anything overtly lewd was censored because Youtube gonna Youtube. So there isnt anything particularly outrageous presented in the video.

As for the actual content of the video:

A female scientist looked into what men find attractive, but using as many input neutral sources as possible such as art, sculptures, and sex dolls to control for both the personalities of the women in question, as well as ensure people cant lie to try and give answers they think people want to hear (for instance, they bring up a statistic that if Women know their results are being questioned, they will admit to having less sexual partners than if you just asked them).

The TLDR of the results are as follows:

1. When it comes to the "boobs or ass?" question, the answer is "Yes, but as long as they are big. But not too big." (apparently, overly large boobs are a bigger turn off than flat chest. But we are talking "Anime boobs" proportions for "too large")

2. Men do indeed like women to have larger thighs, and anyone who says otherwise is lying.

3. There is no such thing as a wrong proportion of waist-hip or waist-bust. Men will always find that hot unless its extreme.

4. Men overwhelmingly prefer long hair over short hair (which I guess makes me a unique one, since I like both).

5. There is a reason the hands on hip "seductress" pose is so popular. It is very good at getting mens attention.

6. As if it wasnt obvious, men are not very fond of overweight women (but not by a wide margin), and they hate obese women.

7. The reason that models and fashion industry groups dont follow any of the above rules anymore is that they only advertise to women (who seem to do a bad job at deciding what men find attractive), and even more than that they are advertising to a very particular kind of woman. Usually more Feminist minded and more Modern Urban minded than normal women.

Take Toph for instance: She's IMMEDIATELY introduced as an overpowered god of her magic system. There's no question about it. And yes we learn that it's because she is a nearly self taught guru, but her skill is then very rarely seen as the solution to an episode.

I think there is more to it than that. If it had ended with her being a completely OP Earthbender, it would have made her a lesser character. Instead, we are shown the limits of her powers almost immediately after she is introduced (in the form of her being useless the second something stops touching the ground). Which I think helped to improve her character even from the beginning in a way that a lot of modern movies no longer do (see: Rey besting Kylo Ren, without any followup to show how that happened).

-never referred to herself as "disabled"

Forget that. "Was actively offended by being treated as disabled."

Toph would dropkick this Twit in the nuts with a boulder if he was referring to her the way he did.

And lets not get into the fact that she still has flaws, and while a skilled fighter has limits. Which, you know, are shown off in like 10 minutes of first meeting her (Aang being able to fly around making it very difficult for her to counter him and read his movements).

IIRC, he is Israeli (or at least Jewish). And the Merchant Guild bankrolling him is a running joke about how (as he joked in another review) "I must speculate the stock market. Its in my blood."

EDIT: Nevermind, was completely wrong on nationality. He is Danish. I was right about being Jewish though.

Or to put it more simply: https://www.nerfnow.com/comic/571

And here I was thinking I was the only one who read Nerf Now.

As for the French comics, I agree the main issue is language. I was interested in some of the westerns, but it looks like most of them are in French. Which is unfortunate.

Perhaps the difference is where we are from. I live in Kansas in the US, and as famous as we are for our agricultural production, we actually make aircraft as our #1 export, because Wichita is still the Air Capital of the World even after Boeing left (...then its every type of Ag product you can think of...). And while there are plenty of kids who want to become tiktokers, they see that as a hobby, not a job. Most of them still are working toward doing something actually useful. Hell, I know some of them who want to use things like TikTok to show of what farming is actually like, because they think a lot of people dont know anything about it.

Yes, the West is in a bad place, Europe especially. But I think we are turning a corner. History shows that people in decline generally dont accept it, and will seek a way out of it, one way or another. What others see as the Woke and the Left doing whatever they want because they will never lose again, I see as their last desperate gasp at power as they loot everything that isnt nailed down before they go running to their artisanal doomsday bunkers in New Zealand.

And yet, those non-western countries aint producing shit, while the US and the West are still home of technological innovation changing the world.

Its worth remembering: The degeneration present is entirely concentrated in a handful of Left-Wing mega-cities, who also happen to be where the media is (Hence why they blast it out on 11 to the entire world). Meanwhile, in my town, people are still having children, girls still like pink princesses, boys still like dirt and cowboys, and my alma mater is still turning out engineers who go on to actually build shit.

Meanwhile, in China, it doesnt matter if they decide to use bamboo instead of steel to reinforce the concrete. Because the engineer was chosen for loyalty after all, and he says its good enough.

Because you only get to do it once. The nukes have already been fired. The sneak attack has already happened. You dont get to do it again, and the enemy now knows what you are going to do. Now, the Dems have been on the backfoot for almost every election done since 2020, and they have been losing by margins taht were considered unlikely at best even just a few years ago. To save their political power now, they screwed themselves in the future.

Its not the first time its ever happened in US History. Andrew Jackson was screwed out of the presidency in 1828 by John Quincy Adams. He won far more states and a large chunk of the electorate, but political machinations in Congress used loopholes to crown Adams the winner. Instead of this being some smooth thing and Jackson slinking away, he came out roaring mad. And come the 1830 Midterm, he ended up clearing out Congress of everyone who had screwed him and winning many other areas thought impossible. Then come 1832, he beat Adams in a crushing victory.

There is nothing to say it can happen again. Especially when the off-elections have been favoring MAGA Republicans by an almost absurd degree. And every attempt of the FBI and other types to stop it just makes the fire grow.

No, they are told they will be a pilot, engineer, scientist, or doctor, and they will like it. Or else they go to the gulag. You dont have to do a good job. You just have to do a job. Which is why Russia cant build jet engines, and China needs to keep stealing everyone elses tech.

Meanwhile, in the US, the people who become those professions are people who want to do it, and are therefore actually interested in becoming competent (usually). Every generation has wanted to be famous. Zoomers are no different.
