France is overall a very competent nation politically, economically, and militarily. The “cheese eating surrender monkey” reputation is really undeserved.

It's not even the only game with that premise. It's a ripoff of a Japanese game called Kancer or something.

Kantai Collection or Kancolle for short if you want to know more (you don’t). Trap sprung etc. but yeah, between the two of them you have your big titty battleships from all belligerents in World War II represented. I don’t get it either, I love me some giant robots but this poo poo is incomprehensible.

Oh yeah, they’ve got more beloved fish to fry at the moment and they knew they were taking on all that came with Marvel Entertainment. Still, a single Punisher Mickey doing something especially repugnant would probably be enough, and the Mouse already has the black and white color scheme so it probably isn’t that far of a leap.

Touch screen devices are massively unreliable to start with unless you spend thousands of dollars on each screen and accompanying hardware, and even then the most you want to do with that is draw images you can erase if you gently caress up a stroke. Not steer giant navy vessels in real time.

Anybody who thinks touch screens should be on any kind of critical system on a ship has never tried to steer one through a storm.

"During the Cold War, the USSR noticed an unusually heavy stream of personnel to and from a structure in the center of the Pentagon’s five-acre courtyard. Figuring it was a vital command installation, the Soviets kept two nuclear missiles trained on it. But it was—and is—only a snack bar."

I’ve always wondered if they had two just for that or if they just had them heading for the center of Adversary #1’s military headquarters. I don’t know much about Soviet military doctrine; that seems light but maybe they had two for each side and then two more in the center for an even dozen?

She ran away from the bad guys, he rescued her, they boned, and she immediately fell in love with him before being shot in the head(?) at a red light.

Clark got shot at the red light. The gangsters subsequently kidnapped Pam, I think shot her full of heroin, gang raped her repeatedly, strangled her, and left her corpse in a fountain.

Why I can remember that poo poo and not birthdays of friends and families is beyond me.

An author of extremely bad fiction is an rear end in a top hat and also claims some poo poo he was specifically called out on was based on real life so it’s okay and he’s okay and in fact you’re all the assholes so shut the gently caress up.

More or less.

If something exists in the future that was going to gently caress with us here in the past, then wouldn't it have already happened? And also time travel isn't real? These people think they're smart?

It's even dumber than that; they're worried that the worldwide deadly communist gangster computer god in the year 40,000 will create copies of them, just to torture them for not helping the computer god exist in the first place. A bunch of "rationalist" nerds re-invented heaven and hell.

Yeah, that trip down memory lane sent me on a nostalgic search for GUTS.txt. Didn't realize it was it was a Chuck Palahniuk short all this time. He's a pretty hosed up dude though so if it didn't happen to him, it happened to some marine body.

That entire book was super uncomfortable, more than anything else he’s written so far.

Deffo has the vibe of some dudes who legit buy into American exceptionalism and homegrown propaganda.

As far as I've seen, Silvercorp started as a group of undercover counterterror operators to be planted in schools as teachers for a $10/mo per parent subscription fee which is already so :911:/:freep:

e. was that a legit airsoft rifle, or just one with a painted tip in a quarter-assed attempt of plausible deniability? Airsoft mags have a slightly different profile (not that you can conclusively measure it with the crappy resolution photo) but won't fit in an AR magwell. Nothing is beyond possible anymore but I imagine one of the gun-fuckers would have noticed mags don't fit while bombing up.

someone zoomed in on the logo on the side and it looks like a prominent airsoft manufacturer's mark. Look near the bottom of the bellingcat article for the comparison.
