I didn't. Please stop going offtopic in random threads just to harass me.

I love that the article ends in an ad for the Galaxy S23.

I hit that point about a decade ago. It was a fantastic feeling after a lifetime of empty bellies and living paycheque to paycheque. Now I have dependents, and being trans is seriously a lot more expensive than I thought it would be (not to mention inflation and housing costs skyrocketing). I'm in no danger of starving anymore, but I kind of miss making less money and having less responsibility.

Love you too.

I'm not a guy. And you are seriously misrepresenting me.

I make more than that. I wish we all were, and that's why I'm here.

Something tells me that one of his friends entered his number as a joke. Still kinda funny.

All communists are socialists, but not all socialists are communist.

These people are in a cult.

Man, that's even worse than I expected. They are this outraged because we don't think Obama was the greatest leader the world has ever known?

Why won't you people learn that the US is the only force for good in the world, and should be worshipped? Only a fascist would be calling for its destruction. They've only killed a few people here and there, and I'm sure they were all accidental, not like those evil soviets! Please, just pick up a history book. I recommend The Anti-Communist Manifesto by Jesse Kelly. He's a good, honest, hard working, all AMERICAN politician who just has reasonable centrist opinions that I don't see how anyone could disagree with.

From weaponizing race, sex, and gender to hijacking our schools, communism threatens to destroy our cherished American way of life. Featuring practical tools and tactics to not only identify communists but also defend the United States from this malicious enemy, The Anti-Communist Manifesto is an instructive guide for all patriots.

I need a shower now.

Chiropractors can be pretty dangerous. I had a friend who went to one and 5 years later came out as trans. I would stick to good old fashioned homeopathy. Gargle just a bit of broken glass every now and then to build up some tolerance.

That also describes this comm. =) I think it's good for our mental health to get our real thoughts out there.

Fixed! Thank you!

I finally had the time to read this properly today (and it was a good day for it!). Thank you again for the truly insightful post. Slave and Indian rebellions often featured them killing every one of their oppressors indiscriminately. I've never faulted them for that, as they had no business being there in the first place. I've never made the direct comparison before, and it's really eye opening.

You're right, now I'm just sad. But I do find it heartening that US military history features so few strategic victories, despite the constant bloodshed.

I wonder what that flag could possibly mean? Oh right

“The state reward for dead Indians has been increased to $200 for every red-skin sent to Purgatory. The sum is more than all the dead bodies of all the Indians east of the Red River are worth.”

Honourable Mentions:

In 1892, US schoolchildren started being forced to recite The Pledge of Allegiance, with the idea of indoctrinating them into nationalism from a young age.

In 1950, the US signed in the Defense Production Act, in order to bypass the free market to purchase weapons for indiscriminate bombing of Korea. Odd that they felt the need to resort to a command economy in order to protect their vaunted free markets from dangerous socialist ideas, don't you think?

I loved what I read about it, but I've admittedly not actually played it yet. The alpha version looked a little too broken to be fun.

I'm probably most enthused about the naval changes (military wise). The old system is completely indecipherable, and I'm not sure if it's broken or I just don't understand what's happening. It seems impossible to protect your convoys.

Land combat formations seem much more sensible as well, although I didn't have severe problems with the old system. It should make it much easier to phase in new technology and maintain non-uniform unit types.
