No amount of simping will make women happy.
As my uncle said once, "give a woman a bag of gold and she will complain about the weight."
Trump/DeSantis 2024 would have been a hell of a thing to see. I would be disappointed but that would mean I have any faith in the republican party.
Got a text a few hours ago from a US Army recruiter trying to get me to join the reserves. I think I will send them this video in response.
So much of the bible, and other religious texts, is like that. We have forgotten the reasons so much of that knowledge was passed down, so we discard it as 'outdated'.
The men who fought and died at places like Verdun and the Somme would be deeply ashamed of their descendants for letting their countries be invaded like this. If they could see what would become of their countries over a century later, would they even bother to make that sacrifice?
About 65% of all hunting tags go unclaimed. Anyone who thinks that modern day sport hunting will impact any species negatively is an idiot who has probably never spent a single night out in the woods.
Probably the best way to go imo. So quick that your nerves dont have time to send any pain signals to the brain. Not even time for an "oh shit!"
A paid for advertisement masquerading as a heroic fight against oppression. Modern news media is straight garbage.
Physiognomy is sometimes accurate.
As their side says so often 'freedom of speech isnt freedom from consequences.'
Or to quote the reddit-tier brainlet from XKCD he is 'just being shown the door.'
I've got a NAS that is full of 4k rips of all the good Bond movies. I dont need your modern 'reinterpretations'.
Eric Flint (rip) wrote the 1632 series but David Weber co-wrote two of the novels 1633 and 1634. Haven't gotten around to reading 1632 though I have a few of the books.
If you want a shorter series that gives you a taste of Weber's writing I would suggest the Dahak trilogy. It starts out with the discovery of our moon being one huge, ancient spaceship that brought humans to earth 10,000 years ago and scales up into a full blown galactic war. Sadly the books end before the real alien ass kicking begins but the series is enjoyable enough that I have read it 10+ times.
There is also the Honor Harrington series by Weber, also on my To Read list, which has 15 main books so far (and like 37 in total). The publisher Baen sometimes gives away the first book in a series via a free ebook so its possible to pick it up for nothing.
1337x.to is my usual for TV and movies.
Really enjoy the Safehold Saga by David Weber. Humans escape Earth in the future to hide out from civilization killing aliens on the planet of Safehold. Once there they adopt a nearly medieval lifestyle and throw away all of their tech. Skip forward 1000 years and one of the crew from the original breakaway mission is awakened in an android body to get things back on track and take the fight to the aliens. First though she has to overcome a technophobic religion that controls the entire world and help a small, struggling maritime country (basically Britain) avoid total destruction by its neighbors.
In the timeline of the books the world goes from basically a sword and sail type setting to progressing to a proto-WW1 level tech, with airships and steam power. Weber is a big sailing guy so prepare for lengthy discussions about sailing ships and the various operations needed to run a ship of the line. Also prepare for tons of side characters and scenes who are present for a chapter and then might only be mentioned again tangentially two books later.
10 books is quite a bit to sink your teeth into, though the series is on a hiatus at the moment. Books 6 and 7 are a bit of a drag, took me nearly 3 attempts to finish the series, but overall the series is quite enjoyable.
Really enjoyed reading through Jurassic Park an The Lost World. Guess ill check out Sphere next.
I think Tate is propped up by the establishment as a lighting rod to attract and subvert young men, but damn he did destroy the bitch in this interview.
The left wants the party of 'graceful losers' back. Fuck that. Its time to stop losing.
A slave would have been lucky to be sent to North America. The alternatives, the Caribbean, South America and the Middle East, are some of the worst forms of slavery ever seen on this planet. Also in NA people were paying 10x more for an African slave than an Irish slave.
North America only received about 15% of the total human 'cargo' of the slave trade, yet we are the only ones who are guilty because of that.
To be fair that part is, sort of, in the book.
A cold voice answered: "Come not between the Nazgul and his prey! Or he will not slay thee in thy turn. He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shriveled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye."
A sword rang as it was drawn. "Do what you will, but I will hinder it, if I may."
"Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!"
Then Merry heard of all sounds in that hour the strangest. It seemed that Dernhelm laughed, and the clear voice was like the ring of steel. "But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Eowyn am I, Eomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him."
Just an aside, looking this up in my 1965 copy of Return of the King, reminds me just how good the writing in LOTR is. People just dont write in this manner anymore, and it makes the products of our modern day "intellectual" class look sophomoric in comparison.
Same, Anthony was one of the few people over at LTT who actually knew what he was talking about. Dude even has a video where he goes over TempleOS in a fairly in depth and respectful manner. Real shame to see another victim of the troon death cult.
Welp time to fire Stellaris up again and commit some galaxy scale war crimes.
She thinks I'm crazy, but I'm just growing old
-Hey Nineteen by Steely Dan (1980)
One of the worst things this modern society has done is convince the young that there is nothing worthwhile to gain from listening to the generations that came before them. They have been convinced to discard ideas simply because they are 'old' and from the past. Therefore, every subsequent generation has to learn that hard earned knowledge all over again at quite the cost.
Interestingly enough, guillotines have been used to do work in space before. In fact the Apollo Lunar Lander had what was called the LM Interstage Umbilical Guillotine which used an explosive charge to sever control and electrical cables that connected the descent stage to the rest of the Lunar Module. This was used to reduce overall weight for the return ascent from the moon's surface or in the event of an abort during landing.
Also this champaign socalist's poor understanding of physics means she fails realize you don't need gravity if you can simply provide a 9.807m/s^2 acceleration along the correct axis.
The counter argument to that (not my counter argument but one that the absolute pro-life side will make) is why should the baby be punished based on the nature of their conception? Rape and incest is bad obviously but the baby had no part in that, so there is no need to punish the child for the sins of the father.
Again not my argument, just one I have seen the pro-life side make.
Maybe I'm misremembering the first game but wasn't FEMA the core part of MJ12's plan to overthrow the US government? Simons and Page were going to use the RX-86 and various executive orders to take over all critical infrastructure in response to the grey death. FEMA was also the one to execute the martial-law take over of Manhattan and you see a number of MJ12's MIB in their ranks.
