Honestly the only helicopters I’d trust are VTOLs that lean more toward the plain side of things, mostly because then they can glide and don’t just rush towards the ground.

Sure but that’s one country. Mind you I’m more or less referring to the anglosphere but I’ve noticed it as a general trend overall, it may also be effecting other western nations as well I’m just not aware on that front. Don’t get me wrong I’m kinda happy the Japanese are so open with that shit but it’s still frustrating when they seem to be the only ones, also localization censorship is still a thing and can get fucked six ways from Sunday.

I get what you’re saying and I agree to an extent but even shit like that doesn’t really exist anymore. Like I said it feels like something over corrected when moving away from objectification and right into puritanism. I don’t quite have the verbage required to quite explain what I mean, it just kinda feels like a lot of media and even culture is outright sex averse in a weird way.

I get you but also I feel like this is an unrealized pushback to just how sanitized a lot of mainstream culture has become. I feel like a lot of media up until about the 2010s give or take had a lot of sexual elements without being porn outright and while not necessarily being erotic, it really does feel like a weird bit of cultural puritanism especially given how hot a lot of actors are.

In summary a lot of things are hot but basically nothing is sexy and it’s weird.

Also it gives them a proper place to sacrifice apostates to the one eyed god.

And y’know what they weren’t wrong, right up until WW2 more or less shattered the empire by overstressing and over extending it. There was no such pressure on the South without men like John Brown, reminder he wasn’t the only abolitionist raider just the one with the biggest militia and who earned the most glory.

But we can go round and round on this one indefinitely, I generally see pacifism unbacked by the threat of violence to be worthless and even with that backing I consider it contextual at best. The pacifism of King and Ghandi were nothing without the violence of Malcolm X and the Indian revolutionaries.

This is also the reasoning I use with my deterrent grenade, I don’t need to win you just need to lose as well.

This is a joke I sadly don’t own any grenades.

Well that and there’s always the manufacturing issue wherein you could make something that does everything you want but it’s a bitch to manufacture, maintain, or install. A good example is lead pipes were a known issue but the hope was that calcium buildup would help solve the problem before it became a problem, galvanized steel technically existed at the time but manufacturing it in the quantities needed was a bitch and Iron pipes would just burst constantly so that was dead in the water.

Yeah we’ve had first cancer but what about second cancer.

Fun fact I once witnessed someone chug ranch dressing in a rural Nevada parking lot. I wish I filmed it because they drained it from new to empty in the same period of time it takes me to chug a gallon of water.

I feel bad for the dude, looking at the pictures you posted it seems like the poor bastard had a mental break.

John Brown failed in his original intentions of creating a new country in the Appalachians and triggering a slave revolt. He more than succeeded in becoming a martyr for the abolitionist cause and giving something to rally behind. Also the civil war was inevitable by the time John Brown did his raid on Harpers Ferry, he was simply the Prologue not the cause, even if Brown was a Ghandi like figure there would’ve still be a civil war since the South was not going to give up the institution of slavery without a fight.

As a John Brown fan and follower of the Allfather I wholeheartedly disagree with you. Sometimes the most just action one can take is the most brutal and destructive one, really it comes down to what one’s own mental liberty allows them to do.

Ted’s problem was that he murdered the wrong people. Let’s be completely honest if he was killing politicians and their corporate masters he would be a hell of a lot less controversial. So long as fascists, authoritarians, and their weak willed followers exist there is few excuses to kill the innocent, collateral not withstanding if someone took out a small town to kill Musk it’d be acceptable for example.

Nah, I’ll stick with kinship. The vaguely depressive Redneck field is more than enough already, don’t want to accidentally find out it’s a stacking effect.

I had the exact same reaction after reading Where the Red Ferns Grow, I read that right after Of Mice and Men. No wonder I like Slavic media I’m just as depressive as that lot.

Yeah not my cup of tea, I like stealth games where the focus may be stealth but I can go loud if I want or when I fuck up. I find Thief boring even if it’s objectively a good game but I love Dishonored and probably put hundreds of hours into the PS3 version.

I’ve heard mixed reviews from other guys who share close opinions with me on games so I’ve generally avoided it. The consensus amongst said friend group is more or less good but not what any of us want.

Best advice I can give you is to just play Bethesdas other games, with maybe the exceptions of Fallout 4, Starfield, and Arena. Daggerfall has a Unity mod that makes it playable and Morrowind has OpenMW that makes it play nice with newer systems also Oblivion got a remaster a bit ago. The biggest problem with making suggestions past this point is that Bethesda struck gold and folks have been chasing it for over a decade with little success but I’ll give you a list of maybes.

The original fallout Duology.

Arcanum.

Outward.

Kenshi.

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.

Mass Effect Trilogy.

Dragon Age, but only Origins and Inquisition.

Now for my probably not but I like them so here’s some suggestions list.

Colony Ship.

Age of Decadence.

Dark souls 1 and 3.

Have you not been cursed by the Nickelodeon Fred movie? Also what a weird era of TV Fred on Nick, Annoying Orange on Cartoon Network.
