We'd never turn on them because they'd never side with us in the first place. They'd all join the fascists.

I spend about $100/wk, mostly on frozen prepared slop because I hate cooking, though I also get fresh fruit/veggies as well. The extent of my thriftiness is working from a baseline that one meal should be ~$4 and trying to avoid things that cost more than that. That leaves ~$16/wk for snacks, drinks, and whatever else, which is plenty for me.

There's a video where he interviews some higher up in the military about propaganda and the guy he's talking to explains that the video he's making is itself propaganda and the dipshit just soyfaces and goes "wow I never realized!" Classic engineering brain.

Hey, you show some respect to the 2023 GMC Child Pulverizer.

I'm one of the weird spherical elbow joints on one of the shadowed men.

I don't follow. Without Trump's threatening to invade, Pollievre would likely have won. Would he not have suited US goals just as much, if not more than Carney?

It may have even been as much as a bazillion catgirl-cry

Honestly, if left of liberal politicians got into power in a state's party democrat apparatus, they'd probably win just due to inertia (provided they aren't sabotaged like the NV dems were, obviously). Chuds will call them communists, but they've been doing that for decades so I have to imagine it doesn't work on the average person anymore.

Imagining a bit where they do colorblind casting for the series in an attempt to attract progressive fans back, but still keep the character named "Cho Chang".

Y'all remember when the BLM protests burned down every city in the country? Because reactionaries do.

For a large number of people, it is to get drunk somewhere different.

Thank you todd

 

Title. Just for walking around. Looking for something waterproof so I can wear them in rain or maybe light snow.

Last time I bought some new balance sneakers and they're full of cracks and tearing apart at the seams after a little over a year. I hate that everything is designed to fail immediately oooaaaaaaauhhh

 

Hasn't been one of these in a while.

Really gotta wonder why they were lying about the fire devil being the justice devil if public safety has the devil namer.

How many chapters can Fujimoto stretch the Yoshida/Asa fight? My money's on another five.

 

Thank u brandon covid-cool

 

Saw a new 20-story development is going up nearby and checked out prices. Mao should have killed more landlords.

 

When did we even get pikmin emojis?

 

Only 4p, sadly, because one guy dropped out to go on a date (valid, but incorrect). Rather short game, ending on turn 5, after ~6 hours (with meal break). Disregard the flipped over objective cards, we just wanted to see what they were post-game.

HS1 is Sol, HS2 is Xxcha, HS3 is Hacan, HS4 is Ghosts of Creuss:

Winner was the Federation of Sol, played by yours truly, because the others more or less forced me onto Mecatol Rex and once in position my ability to drop in infantry squads made me impossible to shift. Also got very lucky with my secret objectives lining up with the publics (2 unit upgrades + 2 faction upgrades, which are the same for Sol, and own 4 planets of any color + own 4 Blue). They let me score Imperial twice which is way too many. Nobody made an attempt to dislodge me until Turn 5, too worried they'd be backstabbed, which, in fairness, was probably accurate for every player but the Xxcha. EDIT: Sol has a rep as being overpowered, so we nerfed it by reducing its starting fleet by 1 carrier. This did not seem to be enough, and it is now on the ban list, along with Jol-Nar.

Ghosts in second with 7 points because both other players gave him Support points in exchange for him suiciding into my invincible army on Mec Rex (not knowing that the game was already over unless they took my home system). This player is generally the weakest in the group, and failed to secure their slice until way too late, leaving them with little to do.

Hacan and Xxcha in third with 4 apiece. Hacan didn't really do much interesting, just spent infinite money to build up a giant fleet but that was no help with invasions, and was too late anyway. Xxcha built a fucking wall of PDS (6 total in a ring around Mec Rex, plus the flagship for 8), which prevented me from reinforcing with ships, but I think made taking it too dangerous for anyone else to consider. He also really fucked over Hacan early, blocking his movement with a cruiser move T1 onto tile 27.

 

This zoomed, in it's pretty easy to tell that all the fabric needs more blending, but this was a nice break from the rest of my army's usual white and grey-blue color scheme. Sadly some of her fingers on the right hand snapped off in transit and I was never able to reattach them. Even so, I'm generally proud of this one.

Base is transparent crackle paint over a blue basecoat, then drybrushed with grey->white grey->white to get an icy look.

RIP Astropaths ever being used in 10th, Nightshroud was too funny against Custodes. Mini is Astro Witch, by Victoria Miniatures.

Technically it was done a while ago, but now there's a comm for it! The hull gun on the front is magnetized and can be swapped out for a laser, and the sides are magnetized as well so I can put sponsons on if I ever get around to having some 3d printed. The turret-hull connection is just a giant circular hole so it pops off real easy and I have taken to blu-tacking it in place for transport/games.

The actual name for the model is "Mars Alpha Leman Russ Incinerator", and I run it as an Executioner in 40k.

Behold, the warm glowing warming glow of the turret gun (which I'm still not really happy with even after like 10 revisions):

The last thing space fascists see before being run over:

Youtube, twitter, and reddit have obviously been in the news a lot recently, but every day business applications also seem to just keep getting worse. Got new PCs at work which means version updates, and pretty much everything we use (autocad, adobe acrobat, and ms office, mainly) all seem to run much slower, despite the computers having substantially higher specs. Love that I can't use any old versions or alternatives because they refuse to grant me admin access.

I love capitalist innovation! Why make things better when you could just make them worse and charge more?
