There was a load of bullshit on both sides. The parameters they had Van Riper operate in (turning on his radar so blue could bomb his air defences, forcing him to disclose unit locations, forbidding him from using his chemical weapons stockpile, etc. etc.) were absurd, it's not difficult to see why he tried to gain an unrealistic advantage to offset the equally ridiculous conditions imposed upon him.

In any case the joint forces command report on the exercise outright admitted that the game ended up rigged to ensure a blue victory so lol at aggrieved armchair generals deciding that actually it was totally legit, America's #1 forever

He also did poo poo like have a hive mind of rafts carrying anti-ship missiles that weighed more than they did, that "instinctively" knew where the US ships were at all times without using any form of communications

He would also just straight up ignore when his stuff got sunk or blown up if he felt like it

Is there any good source to see all this collected in one place? I've seen different posts with stories, and different news stories, but nothing comprehensive, and this has always been really interesting.

You know the funniest thing about this is that there is already an American (and far superior) version of the drink called a Montana Mule, which takes out the lovely vodka for your choice of whiskey.

To be clear: I think someone could have written that article with the motivation of confronting sexual violence on the left, but I don't for a second believe that's why Jamie wrote it.

those usually use ginger ale instead of ginger beer.

I don't really like vodka (also, as eric garland points out, vodka is uh kompromat) so my preferred variations are a gin mule or a Kentucky mule (bourbon).

I really like that this kind of laughing at women's trauma is something even Felix realized wasn't funny and apologized for but the idea that maximum irony is the true way has been burnt into enough sad brains that idiots are gonna keep it up even after their spiritual kings have disavowed it.

Fans of anything are super dumb of course, but that doesn't mean people criticizing the culture around Chapo aren't kind of right in spots.

The two shows [Chapo and Cum Town] openly swap compliments and promote each other

:thunk: I can't remember the last time Chapo mentioned Cum Town at all on the podcast apart from a couple of references to hanging out with Nick. Maybe when they had Adam on about the Lyft thing?

Irony can be fine, you just have to have something more under it otherwise it's almost indistinguishable from prototypical dudebro edgy comedy. It's the same poo poo that started 4chan before they just became admitted racists/neo-nazis/etc. It's a type of humor that at its extremes feels reactionary to the performative caring you saw starting in more liberal social media 4-5 years ago and both just feel hollow as all hell. And most of the time it isn't even transgressive in a way that's funny or interesting it's just so loving boring.

Chapo's usually pretty okay at finding that balance but a lot of the fanbase, including posters in this thread like Al-saqr, don't get that nuance or understand it at all.

it really does seem like the came up with the article concept first, realized the closest thing they had to a smoking gun was two podcast hosts hanging out together, and then said gently caress it we'll go ahead with the article anyways
