I wanted a US history degree

I'm ngl

[surreal nest]

Its genuinely disgusting

[arctic talon]

I despise both biden and trump running for president with all my heart tbh

they're too ld

I hate old people in politics

[dire loom]

It wasn't this bad honestly. Now everywhere I go... always something.

Drama everywhere

[arctic talon]

Biden should have been kicked out of office for being senile

lol

[dark moon]

It fucking hurts seeing the play-by-play of this country sink into the fascist abyss.

[young pecan]

Reagan when my piss trickles down his grave

[surreal nest]

So many bad faith people weaponize the conditions America gave to its minorities and then blame the minorities. It's fucking disgusting

[green loom]

I like brought up how the US still uses slave labour today and my folks just couldn't shut up about how useless people deserve it(they're both effectively just slave labour workers who hate brown people)

[surreal nest]

I've seen people blame trans people for their own suicide rates and its like how the fuck did you come to that conclusion that its an internal issue bro you need to be nicer

[dark moon]

That’s Rethuglican propaganda pal. Biden was actually pretty much all there.

[dire loom]

We have a Walmart here where I'm at for years, nothing really changed tbh. Just crazy people being paranoid and racist again..

[arctic talon]

I disagree personally

[dark moon]

Unlike “person, woman, man, camera, tv” Trump.

[arctic talon]

He did not seem "all there" to me

neither does trump

this term

both of them seem out of it

[vagrant fox]

I salute your sacrifice and suffering 🫡

[surreal nest]

Did you see when florida got hit by that crazy ass hurricane and they made prisoners sandbag rich people homes

fucking INSANE

[dire loom]

Walmart in general brings out the nastiest people though.

[storm jungle]

Biden was very much out of it for most of his run yeah

[dark moon]

Trump has never been all there, but that’s another can of worms.

[storm jungle]

like it was NOWHERE near this bad tho

like we laughed at Biden doing silly things

[dire loom]

I still have nam flashbacks..

[surreal nest]

genocide joe sucked for sure and it wasnt because he ate ice cream

[storm jungle]

not declaring war on american citizens

[arctic talon]

Biden and Trump both have had

super weird fucking ramblings

[green loom]

Shawshank is inaccurate because it showed it as illegal fr

[arctic talon]

I do not like it

I do not like super old people in politics

[surreal nest]

trump claimed 9/11 was last year in a speech lol

[storm jungle]

Pretty much. Biden imo was your average run of the mill US president.

• Largely fine as a person
• Bombs the middle-east
• Passes some mid/bad policies with a few okay/good ones

[arctic talon]

the way biden and trump have been acting have reminded me of my friends grandma who had dementia

lol

[dark moon]

God…let it fucking end. please

[arctic talon]

early on rather

[surreal nest]

you'll never guess why

[green loom]

When 9/11 happened his only comment was about how he now had the biggest tower in town

[surreal nest]

(its dementia)

[arctic talon]

because they both have early dementia?

maybe

[surreal nest]

OH YEAH

[arctic talon]

Idk, I don't interact with them day to day

[storm jungle]

time to face Dark Brandon

[arctic talon]

but she was really like

out of it

regarding my friends grandma

[green loom]

The Dark Brandon bit was the only funny thing that dude did

Well that and Biden Brand Soda

[arctic talon]

used to like talking to her about stuff but she just became more and more incoherent overtime

tbh

[storm jungle]

there was a lot ngl

[arctic talon]

trumps first term was funny tbh

[dark moon]

Imagine if we had gotten Bernie and if the Dems hadn’t screwed him in the 2020 primary. Would have been heaven.

[surreal nest]

I remember when biden got criticized for falling off a bike and its like bro he is old whats the news

[arctic talon]

Bidens term was also funny

I want a politician that isn't senile

[surreal nest]

meanwhile we got trump shitting himself in an airforce one chopper

[storm jungle]

[dark moon]

Free healthcare, an actual fucking response to the Covid pandemic, the list goes on.

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

Bernie got fucked over lol

[surreal nest]

im excited about zohran mamdani at least

[arctic talon]

bernie was also actually left wing

[dire loom]

I told everyone he needed to just rest and retire. They were using him because Obama affiliation.

That guy was just too old.

There was old, then there was Biden Old. Really.. really old. If he was younger, then he'd be a decent choice for the Democrats. Not for me though.

[dark moon]

I’m so fucking mad about that, even now.

[dire loom]

Poor guy honestly

[arctic talon]

yeah no Biden was way too old

when he ran for president

[storm jungle]

its fine now we got a better older president

[arctic talon]

Trump is also way too old this time round

[dire loom]

They just string him along

[arctic talon]

[green loom]

I don't think Kamala Cop would've been that much better but sheesh man

[surreal nest]

we need more handsome bearded men in office

[arctic talon]

Kamala would have been way better

lol

imo

In terms of not being senile

[surreal nest]

and women too but handsome bearded men is awesome

[arctic talon]

compared to biden

but thats my opinion

[dire loom]

Lots of memes too Sah

[green loom]

Probably yeah

[surreal nest]

She is still a freak but at least she isnt declaring war on chicago lol

[arctic talon]

someone made a mod turning the JD vance face memes

into balatro cards

lol

[dire loom]

I can finally rest now.

[arctic talon]

honestly my issue with JD vance is personally

[surreal nest]

THATS SO PEAK

[arctic talon]

he has no fucking spine

but whatever

[surreal nest]

He also doesnt do anything

Like ever

[arctic talon]

tbh thats like

all vice presidents

LOL

[surreal nest]

He does a podcast and disappears to disneyland

True

[dark moon]

Remember when Trump’s mob threatened to hang Mike Pence during the 6th coup? I ‘member.

Bunch of crazies and fanatics.

[surreal nest]

God yes what a fucking insane thing

[arctic talon]

poor pence lol

I don't like him

but wtf did he do to deserve that

beyond being a politican

[surreal nest]

meanwhile frogs in portland are terrorists or some shit

[arctic talon]

the twerking frog is my GOAT

[dire loom]

Being the President is one of the hardest jobs out there. IMHO

[surreal nest]

I wish that were true

[dark moon]

And yet somehow Trump still walks free in spite of all of the clear evidence against him.

[arctic talon]

imo not really, but its def a high stress job

you can look at presidents before/after their terms

[dire loom]

Some many cavemen you gotta keep in line

[young pecan]

Two years ago: "Haha look Biden fell off his little bicycle"
Now:

[arctic talon]

and man they age fast lol

[young pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/smiling-friends-mr-boss-alan-we-are-so-fucked-meme-gif-1166788477789566665

[arctic talon]

Obama and Bush both had a fuck ton of white hair

after their terms

Biden was already white haired

so he doesn't count

Trump got a lot more wrinkly if that makes sense

he just looked older

[vagrant fox]

At least I've gotten biden x trump shipping memes out of this whole debacle
Triden is unparalleled

[arctic talon]

guh

[vagrant fox]

Obama aged visibly a lot

[dark moon]

Huh? What?

This is the first I’m hearing of that

[arctic talon]

Tbh its easy to tell when he had blackish brown hair going in

[dark moon]

Lol

[arctic talon]

and mostly white leaving

same with Bush lol

[spare osprey]

oh yeah bidenxtrump is huge

[arctic talon]

both of them had not like

White hair going in

[dark moon]

I had plenty of political memes back then to keep me sane-ish. Never saw those.

[arctic talon]

hell even trump between his first term/when he ran for reelection

[vagrant fox]

That stupid video of them singing yi jian mei is so goated

[spare osprey]

there's shit where like elon is part of it too

[dire loom]

It kind of comes with the job, Lord only knows what secrets they're told that would drive an average man insane.

[arctic talon]

DOGE has been bad for the government

lol

Department of government effiency my ass

our spending has ballooned even further after that shit

actually fucking insane

[vagrant fox]

I swear obama also greyed in skin colour but that might be a false memory

[dark moon]

Have you all seen the national debt clock before?

[spare osprey]

yeah ok biden gets pregnant and loses the baby while trump and elon are a thing

[dark moon]

You should see how bad our national debt is.

[arctic talon]

the national debt makes me want to kill myself

[dark moon]

It’s so bad it goes around to being funny.

Saw it a few times in university thanks to my professors.

[surreal nest]

Department of securing additional funds for trump's pension

[dark moon]

We’re fucked in regards to the national debt

[dire loom]

Wasn't there a self fulfilling illuminati prophecy about the US going bankrupt and collapsing because no one was getting paid?

I think it was the Simpsons.

Crazy though that some cartoon predicted the future

[arctic talon]

There's been a lot of memes like this about the national/government debt

realistically the US isn't going to default anytime soon

[surreal nest]

40 BILLION MORE TO ARGENTINA

[arctic talon]

but its depressing looking at the number get bigger

[dire loom]

Or self fulfilling prophecy cartoon "predictions" or planned out illuminati bs.

[dire loom]

It never goes down..

[arctic talon]

Clinton is the one president where we had a SURPLUS

Since the 70's

though that wasn't entierly him

[dire loom]

Politics and the economy gives me depression.

[young pecan]

Trump softlocked himself out of the Elon romance so now he's trying to go for Putin, Zelenskyy, AND especially Netanyahu all at the same time

Is he achievement hunting or what?

[arctic talon]

The fact that the Senate/House were bipartisan when Clinton was president helped make the budget not fucked

lol

Along with defense budget cuts

and the dot com boom

[dark moon]

Bipartisanship? There is no such thing as that anymore.

[dire loom]

Wot dat word mean again?.

[dark moon]

You give them an inch, they take a mile.

[arctic talon]

and then our national debt exploded again under Bush but we also had the whole war on terror thing so I'm 99% sure I know where all that debt was going to

excluding

the CIA missplacing like

7 billion dollars

Cia moment

[dark moon]

Work together across party lines. Pal

[arctic talon]

oh sorry

2.3 TRILLION DOLLARS

holy shit

Lol

[young pecan]

||It all went to cocaine in predominantly-black neighborhoods||

[dire loom]

Ty Sah!

[dark moon]

That’s just the average CIA tomfoolery.

[arctic talon]

Look its like a stupid conspiracy theory about a bad event

but its funny as shit to joke that the CIA didn't tell the FBI about 9/11 because they lost that 2.3 trillion

[dark moon]

I remember when I still believed in bipartisanship, I was such a fucking idiot back then.

[green loom]

I'm pretty sure this is a plot point kn GTA5

[dire loom]

This is getting deep

[arctic talon]

The CIA was a mistake

[arctic talon]

Literally one of the biggest importers of cocaine at one point(wtf)

Not the worst thing they did either

Tbh

[vagrant fox]

Nasty little thot lost the otp route and is fumbling around looking for true love again

[dire loom]

Remember what I said, anything that controls or knows about everyone and everything leads to stuff like that. The experiments were bad shit crazy.

[arctic talon]

The CIA is comically evil

They were just less evil then their counterpart during the Cold War

[dire loom]

It is, not like those cool good guy spy movies

[arctic talon]

And not by much lol

[vagrant fox]

They would be very funny if only they were fictional

[dire loom]

It's lies

Terrible

[green loom]

Idk dude it feels like they did at least 3-4 times the coups

[dire loom]

I think they're working for the illuminati

[dark moon]

May Henry Kissinger and his cronies burn in hell for all of the unnecessary global problems they’ve caused.

Bunch of evil bastards

[dire loom]

Or whatever secret society that's trying to ruin everything.

[green loom]

They're lame enough to call themselves the illuminati tbh

[dire loom]

I use illuminati as generalized vague word for that.

Can't be bothered to remember every crazy cult out there.

So I just call em illuminati

[green loom]

US mega churches are crazy

[arctic talon]

They did as many, just a lot more failed ones

[young pecan]

Have you seen the video of the AI generated Jesus and Charlie Kirk giving a speech in a mega church

[green loom]

I'd prefer not to no

[arctic talon]

mega churches are literally the least christian thing I've ever seen

with how Mega pastors live

Jesus would be disgusted with them

[young pecan]

It's so horrific

And the elderly lead munchers started clapping afterward

Because of course they did

[vagrant fox]

I don't know what's going on in American Christianity but it seems like pure unadulterated insanity

[green loom]

It is

[arctic talon]

Its not really that

its more so

one specific branch

one moment

Let me like break this down

[green loom]

I mean the American sects are already pretty deranged right

The mega churches are just cults

[young pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-sonic-the-hedgehog-sonic-dance-dancing-break-it-down-gif-9881392746354730618

[vagrant fox]

I haven't looked much until recently but I'm fairly disgusted with it so far

[spare osprey]

see there is one american religon that's gotten it 100% right

SCIENTOLOGY

[arctic talon]

mega churches are from a specific branch Evangelicalism more speicifcally

[vagrant fox]

Seed faith should get you crucified

[arctic talon]

I forgot its name

let me like

find it

[spare osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-cruise-oprah-scientology-lightning-powers-gif-5253332

[green loom]

Pastafarianism stays on top

[arctic talon]

its a form of charismatic evangelicism/rewnwelist stuff

[surreal nest]

I was about to ask if that was related to the flying spaghetti monster but then I decided to actually read what you said and it started with "pasta"

[arctic talon]

anyways its fucking weird

most american sects are just normal derivatives of existing christian sects

[spare osprey]

that one famous mega pastor is really creepy

[arctic talon]

its just that there's a few prominant ones

[green loom]

This is serious noodle business

[arctic talon]

that are Really fucking bad/weird

[spare osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-preacher-shouting-pointing-gif-17865324

this freak

[surreal nest]

YEAHHHH

[arctic talon]

mega churches are like

bad bad

[surreal nest]

THE ANTICHRIST

[dire loom]

Yeah, a lot of these "Christian churches" are sus. IMHO

I believe in God, the Lord and Savior.

Don't need to give money nor spend time with holy rollers.

If they deem me "evil", so be it. I never knew em.

I'll always believe and be a Christian, that's the glorious benefit of freedom of religion right we Americans have.

It does suck though dealing with people who think they're better than you because they go to church more or something.

[surreal nest]

fuck it I wouldnt fly public either if I was a pastor I will be EVIL as hell

[green loom]

The Westboro dude whose videos are fucking hilarious
"God hates Australians!"
"Good evening godless sodomites"

[arctic talon]

I agree

[spare osprey]

lowk if i was like a mega pastor, i WOULD ride public

[arctic talon]

and I'm not christian

you are better than me

[arctic talon]

mega churches cause me physical disgust

and I'm not christian

[dire loom]

When the church has become greedy corpos, you're cooked.

[arctic talon]

💀

[spare osprey]

for the wrong reasons lmao

[surreal nest]

Oh no

[dire loom]

That reminds me of the Unitologist from Dead Space for some reason. Lol

[spare osprey]

i would wanna see how many ppl i could convince to help me a hijack a plane under the idea that it's gods will for me to have it

see how many planes i can steal

[vagrant fox]

It's entirely likely that there's sensible normal faithful believers, against which I have no problem, but it seemed so all pervasive and completely dominating

[arctic talon]

Unitologists are based on

like

that shit

[dire loom]

It's a lot of work honestly, don't blame yah.

[arctic talon]

Unitoligists are based on mega churches

[young pecan]

Actually uplifting others is the best way to practice being a Christian imo

[surreal nest]

im of the belief that i dont give a fuck what you do in your free time unless its like torturing animals or doing some shit that hurts other people

[young pecan]

You can go to church and be an evil bastard

[surreal nest]

live your own life

[young pecan]

Many do actually

[arctic talon]

I'm a Buddhist/Han Chinese folk Tradition person lol

[spare osprey]

a buddy in my public speaking class worships odin

[arctic talon]

Those are the only 2 religions I'm like

remotely practicing

[young pecan]

One of my friends worships Sol

I got her some cool rocks themed around it for her birthday

[surreal nest]

that's sweet

[vagrant fox]

I've also seen it from a north European protestant background which hates fancy churches and having fun and anything past simple basic life necessities

[dire loom]

Yeah, just being a cool chill good guy.

[young pecan]

There was also a nature/fertility goddess whose spelling I can NOT memorize that I got rocks for too

[vagrant fox]

I am admittedly interested in Buddhism and Taoism so it's not even like I hate religion but what I've come across is so fundamentally disgusting to me

Gives me the jeebies

[dire loom]

Yeah, I've seen a few of those a lot more lately.

I just realized something..

[green loom]

Wasn't Odin like, proportionally not as liked as some of the more practical gods

[surreal nest]

Im pretty sure Odin is commonly depicted as being a cautionary tale or some shit lol

[dire loom]

This is why the Chaos Cults in Warhammer 40k are nightmare fuel, because it could literally happen.

[green loom]

And has

[vagrant fox]

Odin was an asshole

I'm not entirely 100% atm but I recall a bunch of Thor and Freyer worship

[dire loom]

Maybe everything you're seeing will evolve into something more sinister later on. If left unchecked.

Slippery slope that stuff is.

Anyone remember that one cult that drank the Kool aid or something ?

Then video recording caught voices or something?

Crazy

Literally the warp

[green loom]

There's been like a few score mass suicide cults

It's just the wide ranging side effect of general superstition

[dire loom]

I feel like there's things out there we do not understand though. We're literally just stage 1 monke currently.

Haven't even developed space travel between different habitual worlds yet.

[young pecan]

I recently learned of Shintoism which was really cool

[dire loom]

We're cooked

Oh sorry for lack of context

[green loom]

Have you learned about Korean/Japanese christian super cults yet

Some of which became actual terrorists/organized crime syndicates

[vagrant fox]

The South Korea government cult is wack, and the Japanese moonies

[dire loom]

I meant if you left a religion become super powerful or a secretive death cult become too powerful. Just imagine what would happen.

Like global scale

[young pecan]

Under shintoism, everything has a spirit so as far as I can ascertain, doing something bad like littering disrespects the spirit of the ground, the spirit of the litter you threw, maybe even a nearby trash can's spirit

It sounds silly but I think it's a really good and simple way of encouraging people not to do bad things

[dire loom]

Was trying to reference Warhammer 40k but yah know

[young pecan]

Especially without placing a tonnnn of emphasis on centralized figures that can be used to manipulate people

There's still a little of that with bigger kami but still

[green loom]

Yeah you know like a group of very wealthy people and politicians trying to shepherd a specific group to a specific piece of land to cause a religious apocalypse artificially or something

[young pecan]

No I haven't but I've heard of it

[dire loom]

Fascinating stuff

Maybe that's what tech priest do low-key

Kind of

Maybe?

[green loom]

It sounds about right

But they specifically think machines are holy

[vagrant fox]

A lot of cool religions you can learn in that part of the world
My line of thought is that whatever let a Vietnamese (?) monk immolate himself without moving a muscle or making a sound is worth looking into
Or thouse Japanese monks that automummified themselves
It has opened up a whole wide world of practical thinking and world views I feel

[dire loom]

Damn that's hardcore

[young pecan]

Funnily enough the Mechanicus is actually my favorite faction too

Very interesting

Maybe that's what the inspiration for machine spirits was

[dire loom]

It could well very be

[young pecan]

My friend who is getting into Eastern religions references that monk like ALL the time LMFAO

[dire loom]

Oh.. I left my redbulls in the kitchen brb. Hopefully no one drank em.

[young pecan]

Fire being one of the most painful deaths the world has to offer too

What an insane amount of control of the self you have to have

[vagrant fox]

It's a very wild display of self control

[young pecan]

I wonder if it felt cathartic by that point for him

[vagrant fox]

A lot of the men in my family struggle with substance abuse, poor mental health, and anger issues but I've at least somewhat learnt to control myself. At least enough for my brother to ask me how to remain calm

[young pecan]

The fact that he also did it as a political protest to not prosecute buddhists as well

[young pecan]

None of us have enough time to master ourselves like the monks do, but we can sure strive for this direction and thrive

[vagrant fox]

He's very fascinating to read about certainly

[opaque coyote]

"I seem to be on fire."

[vagrant fox]

Yeah it's basic human nature to fail or get angry or whatever have you but you can just try again and try to do better it's just what living is

[opaque coyote]

On some level, I can't help but feel sorry because like you said.

Fire is the most painful way to die no matter what

He might have had enough self control to not flail around

But also

Ouch

But that is part of the point

I suppose

[dire loom]

Redbulls secured

[vagrant fox]

Must've sucked pretty bad

[dapper gyro]

I know that story well because it is used in many lessons back when I lived in Vietnam. However, despite its message, it would never get anything done.

[vagrant fox]

His suffering was very little in the total scheme of things of Cambodia and Vietnam but it was a gruesome display

[dire loom]

This conversation has made me more hyped up for Fallout season 2.

[young pecan]

I wonder if he controlled his instincts to wheeze at smoke and stench of his own burning flesh, or if he controlled himself to not breathe at all

Both are horrific

[opaque coyote]

For some reason, my mind just imagines him calmly sipping tea

[young pecan]

Would go hard as buddhist propaganda

[opaque coyote]

Casually flipping through a newspaper

That also is on fire

[dapper gyro]

Ignoring personal pain will not stop other people suffering. I think, despite its noble cause, it is meaningless.

[opaque coyote]

It was to spread awareness

[vagrant fox]

Ideally I also imagine a calm detached perspective but who knows

[dire loom]

We got pain killer meds though

[dapper gyro]

Ultimately bring nothing to the table.

[dire loom]

I'm suffering too actually

Still waiting for Cadian gold skulls

[vagrant fox]

Yeah I don't think it accomplished much unfortunately
If only that kind of thing alone could

[dapper gyro]

I say that as someone who lived in the heart of Vietnamese propaganda.

[dire loom]

Nerds bring a lot to the table

Think about it

All tech made by some nerd

[dapper gyro]

I will bring you to the table.

[dire loom]

Y bullies bully nerds then if it's common knowledge they have the most potential?

[dapper gyro]

On thr table actually

[dire loom]

Ty Sah

[opaque coyote]

"If a man decided to set himself on fire in public. Just what the fuck is going on there."

Tbf I think that particular part worked in bringing more eyes to the situation and marked as a turning point in the collapse of the Diem regime.

[dire loom]

I have a funny one for y'all

[vagrant fox]

Ah well times are a bit bad but at least when I go to the pizza place I nod at habibi and he nods back
There's some good moments

[dapper gyro]

American troops were proud that they could make a monk do that.

[dire loom]

Since I actually like this discord server.

I wanna share this with y'all.

Prepare thy selves.

🗣️ Prepare!

**So as a straight Christian American Republican.

I think Hasbin Hotel and Helluva boss are good comedy adult cartoons.**

[dapper gyro]

I hate those Vietnam Vet doing podcasts on how great they were, when thousands of other veterans stay quiet or live in poverty.

[dapper gyro]

I meet both kind of US 2nd Indochina war vets.

[dire loom]

What were those Wars even about?

[dapper gyro]

Control

[dire loom]

I thought it was taking the fight to the reds or something?

[young pecan]

If you look into it, it actually did

[vagrant fox]

If vivziepops humour wasn't swearing every other word I'd probably mildly enjoy it

[young pecan]

At least in terms of international publicity

[dapper gyro]

International publicity means very little. Look at all of the wars ever since.

[dire loom]

The colorful art style is really good, my eyes don't hurt. Yeah the writing of said humor could be done more intelligently.

[dapper gyro]

Afghanistan shouldn't happen, but people are still bragging about their tours and using it as a mark of recognition. Even now, after 20 years since it started and 10 years since it ended.

[young pecan]

Yes it does when the US, who was the sponsor of the South Vietnamese government, pressured them to address it

Sure publicity alone does nothing, but the potential actions that come from publicity do

[dire loom]

Well, hopefully everyone gets along in the future and we have utopia.

Good thing we got games to keep our minds occupied.

I don't wanna wake up.

Too much stress, too much work.

[storm jungle]

I always find this criticism funny because i hang around people a lot that do nothing but swear as they talk

idk why its so hard to accept that "fuck" is a good word to say

[young pecan]

I think it's the corny way that they cuss sometimes

I can watch but every so often

[storm jungle]

I mean

its a cartoon

[young pecan]

Ehh

[storm jungle]

so no shit

if you want the opposite go watch Breaking Call Saul

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-gif-2421249060515128977

[young pecan]

ermm strawman momento

[sacred bluff]

cursing is bad!!!

[sacred ginkgo]

Working on it

[young pecan]

I'm fine with the cussing and watched Helluva for a few episodes

[storm jungle]

ermmm how about I turn you into a fucking strawman in a cornfield

[sacred ginkgo]

is that a doctor who reference

[young pecan]

It's mostly funny to make fun of but I don't actually have major critique with it

[sacred bluff]

at least then they'd be outstanding in their field...

[young pecan]

Well you see that would actually make me really sad because then crows wouldn't go near me

[vagrant fox]

Swearing isn't so bad on its own, I do it a lot myself. It just felt like a constant barrage for the whole episode but neither was I paying a lot of attention

[sacred ginkgo]

I am so rotted on dr who

[young pecan]

Please don't do that

[opaque coyote]

Fuckfuckyfuckfuckshitshitshit

To be honest I don't even mind the swears existing. In fact I don't think that's the problem for most of the people that have watched the show.

The main issue is that swears are often kinda used to make to exaggerate feelings. Usually frustration.

Using them too often decreases their impact.

[sacred ginkgo]

Which doctor is season 13

[dapper gyro]

I mean, finishing it.

[sacred ginkgo]

I remember seasons by doctor

[young pecan]

Go commission some more deldar smut and bask in the fact that you're only slightly better than the delusional Slaanesh seggs fans

[dire loom]

I couldn't keep up with the show, it was good though I remember. Just too many damn seasons nowadays.. lost track.

[dapper gyro]

Whittaker Jodie

[vagrant fox]

Watch 16 seasons of Supernatural as god intended

[storm jungle]

I got better things to commission than smut you little pencildick fucker

||you do actually, do more of the cool ass artificial womb tech priest||

||but keep doing the deldar smut on the side||

[opaque coyote]

Like for example, if you suddenly yelled out loud while entering a room.

"I took a shit!"

There is a bit of shock value to this. Along with some confusion as well. This increases the chance of making somebody laugh.

Meanwhile in Viviziepop's shows it becomes background noise. You can tell the humor wants to be shocking but it ends up flat because it already does that so often.

Why would anything change now?

[vagrant fox]

It just became nebulous background noise to me so I lost interest. It is what it is

[dire loom]

Supernatural is so good, I'm glad Negan was added into the Walking Dead from Supernatural.

[celest cedar]

pencildick fucker

Im weak

[dapper gyro]

That abhuman strain that the Admech created. Would be nice to see more of them.

Already watching a bunch of other shows too

Not question, consume product.

I'll have you know 3 is very servicable

To be fair, that is often true unfortunately.

rip may pomeroy

[opaque coyote]

I wish I could have one but part of the reason why I can't is because I'm allergic

I don't want to have red eyes for the majority of my day

[dapper gyro]

I'm trying to make friends with some ravens around here.

Get one of those naked ones that make a meaty smacking noise when they fight

Ah, the fake chicken..

I'm glad I have brick walls so I can't hear my neighbours

Man do I feel justified in not buying this

System not to spec?

I am far above spec

Below recommended but my system should absolutely run this

[dire loom]

I need y'all's opinions, purple or orange lights?

Already got red on something else

[young pecan]

chicken slapping noises

[dapper gyro]

It is a SM game, way more repetitive than Darktide.

[dire loom]

It's for a goggle

[sacred ginkgo]

Still crashing in the opening cutscene

[dire loom]

I'm thinking orange

[sacred ginkgo]

86 gb demo everybody

[dire loom]

86, gb demo is heresy

Must be purged

[dapper gyro]

Demo is the full game, but locked.

[dire loom]

Literally lol

Very annoying when they do that

Taking up space for a temporary experience

Well, then again.. so is life.

[dapper gyro]

What kind?

[dire loom]

It's for an engineer welding something.

Idk why I thought purple

Probably was feeling daring or something

[dapper gyro]

Go yellow?

Or blue

[dire loom]

Hmm.. orange because the lava look orange like a forge.

It's a classic

Blue if undead lich smith

That's a good idea for later

[dapper gyro]

Yellow is higher heat though.

[dire loom]

I thought blue was

[dapper gyro]

For melting metal, you don't really get blue.

[dire loom]

Oh sorry I was doing something for fantasy medieval stuff

[dapper gyro]

Fantasy with a touch of realism is always more fun.

[dapper gyro]

Medieval has bloomery forge, so yellow would be appropriate.

[dire loom]

Yellow it is then

True, lots of people would have probably pointed that out too. Ty

You'll make me look smart tomorrow. Thank you Sah.

[dapper gyro]

No need, I'm a good of nothing.

No one gives a fuck about these knowledge irl.

[dire loom]

True lol or they just don't know

[celest cedar]

semi realism..

[opaque coyote]

said by the dude who gave up on making his own game

I love this type of shit in an ironic sense tbh

Why was this shit so popular back in like the 2000's

Why were we like this

Specifically why was I like this when I was a shithead kid

[daring creek]

Maybe the commercials actually worked

[celest cedar]

yeaaa I could never unironically call myself a gamer

[daring creek]

Oh yeah

[celest cedar]

like hating on women is the one thing thats consistent when being labeled a gamer

[lament shoal]

There's a cat on my lap

[daring creek]

Mr Boss from Smiling friends is like the boss from The Office but turned up on 100

[daring creek]

Also yes I don't know where this gamer status actually came from

[lament shoal]

Mainstream media, gen x, and boomers blaming upticks in violent crime on violent video games

Yes this actually happened and still does to some extent. Not as much as it used to tho

Was kinda like how morons in the 80s thought DND was a game for satanic rituals or some shit

[celest cedar]

black sabbath being satanic...

yea the song talking about anti war is satanic...

[lament shoal]

Mfs also forget that Ozzy was a Christian lol

[celest cedar]

I thought the christian influence on the lyrics was obvious too 😭

but nooo..

[lament shoal]

It's mostly just people who know nothing about him to begin with

[surreal nest]

i wanna bully this old man holy shit

old dumb pervert

[daring creek]

Watching Haha You Clowns

I like that shows like this get on television

[opaque coyote]

I want to too

But I'm going to be honest

His life is already such a disaster

that I legitmately have no idea how bullying would affect him in any way

[surreal nest]

I would feel better

https://tenor.com/view/skating-basketball-slam-dunk-ice-gif-24361241

[daring creek]

Who tf is grummz anyway hes like a washed up game dev

Anti woke mf

But i suddenly wanna know his lore

[surreal nest]

washed up game dev who screamed and cried in the office and filmed porn

[surreal nest]

and wrote fanfiction about sexual assault iirc

[daring creek]

That sounds like standard Ao3 smut

But I see

[dire loom]

Yeah it was cringe

[dire loom]

Those holy rollers, communist and greedy corpos I'm telling yah.

[dire loom]

Some of the most violent ruthless disturbed criminals never even played games.

[shadow plover]

https://tenor.com/view/grummz-gif-10107188364430852569

[dire loom]

So what's the context?

Was gonna ask more but got lazy then forgot

[celest dome]

Grummz is an incel

[shadow plover]

the guy's a terrible person who spots awful rhetoric about how women and queer people are ruining video games

[dire loom]

I looked it up and couldn't find any real evidence. It's just people accusing him of doing something bad. Has he done actual time in prison? If not.. then there wasn't really a real case nor enough evidence.

Interesting though nonetheless.

[dire loom]

Are they though? When you have incompetent devs that put certain things into a game.. it's no wonder why some people actually think that.

Such as Dragon Age Veil Guard.

Tragedy that was.

[shadow plover]

those are not jailable actions

I mean, you clearly haven't seen what he says

[dire loom]

Maybe if make good game with such elements, then people wouldn't jump the gun on that, but then again there are actual bigots out there. So even then.

I think TLOU was good, but I don't know what they were thinking with TLOU 2.

[shadow plover]

If you earnestly want to know about the weird shit he has done behind the scenes watch these https://youtu.be/L_ftiA5fl38?si=Jsi2MqL0KOiHRBjz

[dire loom]

True, I don't really look at everything everyone posts online. Too much work. I barely have enough time for memes.

[shadow plover]

and if you want to know what he does publicly you can just see his twitter feed

he is very hated for good reasons

[dire loom]

What are a few more examples?

[shadow plover]

I'm at work, I don't really feel like searching up his stuff any more than I already have

I don't want anyone to see me looking at his stupid feed

[dire loom]

Oh lol

Understandable

Man, politics. I just wish we could all just get along.

[shadow plover]

People spouting evil hateful shit aren't really to getting along with if we're being real

[dire loom]

It has indeed fan the flames, paranoia fueling the rest. But don't forget about the fake woke people too. Every side has it's bad actors, or grifters etc.

[dapper gyro]

The number of them being religious is quite high. Not even counting the cults here.

[dire loom]

I've personally experienced hate only from the left so far. Just for simply being Christian, straight, American and Republican who voted Trump.

Maybe it's faction bias idk

[dapper gyro]

🤔

[celest dome]

Honestly, that seem more telling on you than anything 💀

[dire loom]

I'm just saying, hate only brings more hate.

[dire loom]

What are you implying? That makes you more telling on yourself. It's just paranoia.

Pushing everyone away because they think differently is bad and very hypocritical.

[dapper gyro]

Good bait

[dire loom]

Not everyone on the right is some crazed neo Nazi or something.

[celest dome]

Thinking differently is alright, but you're acting like the Christian/Republican/Maga haven't been attacking trans, immigrants, women (abortion)...

[dire loom]

Not all of us, they just want you to focus on that so one side can justify another action. Vice versa.

[shadow plover]

Voting for the party that has become more and more hateful does hinder one's sincerity somewhat, be it ignorance or willful malice

[dire loom]

They want us to hate and kill each other.

That's the end goal.

[celest dome]

Who is they

[dire loom]

Let's not fight each other. That'll make em angry. Then the true enemy will reveal themselves. Or go into hiding again until trying again.

[dire loom]

Probably some greedy mega rich corpo who knows?

Illuminati

Just seems too sus with everything happening.

[daring creek]

Is brainrot a real thing

[dapper gyro]

Yes

[daring creek]

How so

I think it only truly happens when like

You're really fucking binging brainrot

[dapper gyro]

Yes and yes

[dire loom]

You just can't think everyone is like that though. I don't think every Democrat or left or liberal is gonna try killing me for simply existing.

[daring creek]

Even then. It doesn't need to be "brainrot content" it just needs to be like.

Just absorbing

Not thinking

Not disagreeing or questioning

[dire loom]

Can confirm Sah

[celest dome]

Cause they're often spouting thst they will sure sure.

[dire loom]

You have evidence right here though, me. I don't hate any of you.

[dire loom]

Ignore em, just be safe. Be aware of your surroundings etc.

If I had a nickel and dime for the death threats I've received both IRL and online.. I could open up a business by now.

[dapper gyro]

You don't represent many others. Likewise with us. We have common hobbies, but it would be a hard press to stay in the same place as you. Especially when my nation is on the short end of the stick because of the people you voted for.

We got more tariffs than Russia... Tell me to be nice?

[celest dome]

Really playing the centrist approach I see.
First it's both sides are the same, when rebuffed it is but I'm one of the good one, followed by cheap words.

[shadow plover]

it's hard to ignore when the harm is done by the right in a systematic fashion, through legal means making it impossible to get access to proper health care, housing and safe environments

[dire loom]

Biden wasn't doing much either.

[dapper gyro]

At least they didn't try to sabotage their neighbors.

[shadow plover]

and now hiring goons who invade people's homes because perceived 'otherness' and forcing them to camps to be exiled from their communities

[celest dome]

<@&735928989146939404> please make this stop, either just the discussion or more.

[dapper gyro]

It is easy to be on the moral high ground when things don't affect you.

[dire loom]

War is hell, yes. That is true. If we send boots on the ground to invade and wipe Russia out. Wouldn't that cause World War 3 though? We given y'all enough supplies and equipment. Your fighting a very difficult enemy. It's just propaganda that they're easy claps. It was the same with stuff in World War 2 with the Germans being considered easy claps.

[daring creek]

[dire loom]

Honestly best you could hope for is some sort of peace deal.

But that be a miracle

[dapper gyro]

Funny, it is the theme of Parasite, the year that not even a US movie won an Oscar.

[dire loom]

Who? Context

[daring creek]

The South Korean movie right

That was a nice movie

[dire loom]

The pmcs?

[shadow plover]

ICE

[outer wave]

ICE

[celest dome]

Please tell me it isn't the peace deal that trump proposed that you think should be implemented

[outer wave]

Trump's peace deal with Ukraine is dogshit

And inconsistent

[celest dome]

And just reward russia

[daring creek]

I'm sorry I have to ask. You're not talking about immigrants in america right

[dire loom]

Oh

[shadow plover]

I am

[daring creek]

[dire loom]

Thought we were talking about war in Ukraine.

[daring creek]

Its all over the place I think

[outer wave]

Its a mix of both topics

[dapper gyro]

I'm Canadian. And your current government placed more tariffs on us than on Russia, your enemy, our enemy. Whatever you reply to me above shows how ignorant you are about the situation.

[celest dome]

Immigrants and any non-white Americans.
Many Hispanic Americans have had problems with ice

[outer wave]

Also Trump invited Putin into America in Alaska

You know, land that Russia has been wanting to grab for a while and with Putin being seen globally as a war criminal?

[daring creek]

Obviously yeah

Its awful.

[celest dome]

Oh and those Invasion quotes are fun too 💀

[dire loom]

I'll check it out then.

[outer wave]

Every time Trump decides to talk about 51st state stuff, I have to deal with that shit

[dire loom]

Legal or illegal?

[dapper gyro]

I don't think that you are bad. I think that you are ignorant.

[celest dome]

Always funny to see someone spout about the left being hateful, but seemingly being unaware of anything that has come from the right 💀

[surreal nest]

Um he got angry about new DnD orcs having like mexican representation, he got mad about female custodes. Basically he gets very angry about brown people or women

Also he actively misleads angry gamers to bully and harass female game devs

[misty vector]

Total grifter yeah

[surreal nest]

Think of the kind of guy that grits his teeth when he notices that someone he is talking to is transgender

[misty vector]

Look up grummz in gifs for something funny

[surreal nest]

Well, not notice. That's not appropriate. More so revealed

[dire loom]

If legal citizens are being deported, then I understand your concerns and struggles. But if they're illegal. I don't really sympathize.

[dapper gyro]

https://globalnews.ca/news/11477871/bc-softwood-lumber-tariffs-us-higher-russia/ It is cheaper for the US to buy wood from Russia than Canada, the literal neighbor with big wood supply. Your government is a joke. And you are a joke to support it.

[dire loom]

Yeah grifters are the worst.

[surreal nest]

AUTOCORRECT STOP MAKING IT WRONG

[celest dome]

What about all the Immigrants that were taken by ICE during their lawful immigration process ?
Those thst went to their court visitation, and got taken by ICE before or right after having seen a Judge.

[dapper gyro]

How about Canadians and Europeans got placed on hold indefinitely for months?

[shadow plover]

ICE is literally just an american branded gestapo

[dapper gyro]

Because they say somewhere that they don't like elements from the US?

[outer wave]

They're also going to get more funded than America's military with the Big Beautiful Bill IIRC

[dire loom]

The sexism and racism I don't vibe with.

The lore I do, maybe he could have not said things negatively but chosen to anyways. So I understand why you don't like th guy.

Could of definitely been better way to express their concerns for plot holes, continuity and lore.

It's a good thing I'm more about the Astra Militarum. Or Imperial Guard Cadians. Don't have to worry about such topics.

[celest dome]

Oh amd usually deportation mean being sent to your home country, not to El Salvador 💀

[surreal nest]

Well female custodes or mexican orcs arent any of those

[misty vector]

A violation of human rights no matter how you look at it

[sacred ginkgo]

The Mexican orcs thing is cool

Gives them an actual theme

[dire loom]

Yeah, that is interesting. I'll have to look it up during an off day.

[sacred ginkgo]

Aside from
Evil nasty barbarians

[daring creek]

It can also mean being sent to a whole different country

[dapper gyro]

I can't go to the US safely because I'm not born in Canada despite being a Canadian citizen. That detail alone led many people to be questioned by the US border. I don't think the media have the present in every border check point.

[outer wave]

Arent they still trying to send that one guy that the US managed to get back from El Salvador to Kenya or some shit, despite not even being from there?

[celest dome]

Legaly speaking, it is your own country that you're meant to be sent to.

[daring creek]

You're trying to come here?

[dapper gyro]

No, you come here.

[daring creek]

Absolutely not

[shadow plover]

If I were to go to america for a work trip I'd probably be turned back because I made fun of the current government on social media and discord (I wouldn't want to go anyways)

[daring creek]

I don't want to get double taxed

[scenic bolt]

deporting us soldiers

[dire loom]

Yeah, I could care less either way. Doesn't effect me. I wouldn't complain if they were added in or not.

[daring creek]

Fun fact as an american citizen you're still taxed even when you leave the country

[dapper gyro]

I'm not telling you to live here.

[daring creek]

And ending your citizenship comes with all sorts of issues

[daring creek]

Ya know what I'm going there now

https://tenor.com/view/ip-ip-adress-threat-cat-cat-kiss-gif-26747002

[dire loom]

Lore and continuity is important, but if they did a few retcons, that's fine but please give me Eldar, and Space Dwarves alliance with humanity so I can have my Lord of the Rings in space. Give the Orks the nemesis system too from that one game. Would be peak

[sacred ginkgo]

Nemesis is copyrighted

[dire loom]

Damn greedy corpos strike again..

[shadow plover]

and never to be used again

[dire loom]

Curse you he man!!!

[daring creek]

Tfw aliens from outer space speak spanish

They were there with the aztecs

[dire loom]

Damn taxes..

[dapper gyro]

I wonder how the US military would work without taxes.

[dire loom]

Wasn't that Spain though? Wouldn't it be a different language from Spanish?

[dapper gyro]

Sponsored by private firms? Nation of private military contractors?

[daring creek]

[dire loom]

That's a good theory though

Definitely lizard ones

Bare minimum

[dire loom]

Mandatory tributes, similar to the Brotherhood of Steel from Fallout is my guess.

[dire loom]

If the corpos took control of the military because they funned em then we're cooked.

[dapper gyro]

It is happening right in front of your eyes.

[dire loom]

[daring creek]

Mcdonalds military

[dapper gyro]

Whoever with money can tell Trump to do their bidding. All of the military commanders are replaced if they are opposed to Trump decision.

Like US military gets Tesla cars...

[dire loom]

Expensive

Idk, if Tesla good or not.

[sacred ginkgo]

Electric vehicles for military use is currently highly impractical

[sacred ginkgo]

Too expensive and too much required support infrastructure

[dire loom]

Yeah unless they're powered with those fusion cores from fallout

[dapper gyro]

Not just that, it is ill suited for combat.

[arctic talon]

Yeah there's some issues with it

gas is just more practical rn for military vehicles in general

[dapper gyro]

You can't immediately refuel it. You can't immediately share the fuel. The performance decreases with environmental hazards..

[arctic talon]

Also the batteries have issues with puncture

[misty vector]

I mean look at the cybertruck as tesla’s attempt at an off-road car and how that performs against a puddle

[arctic talon]

more volatile then gas(ironically)

The cybertruck also is a shitty off road truck

lol

its not good

Its built as some fucked up SUV truck hybrid

[dapper gyro]

Less loading capacity

[arctic talon]

like the ford F-150

but shittier

[dapper gyro]

Also can't use off the shelf parts and modifications.

[dire loom]

Also, I like the ruskies the Russians basically, it's just their government have em brain washed. Same thing with China etcetera. So I'm not really a huge fan of starting World War 3, peace would be better for us and our world.

Can't we make oil alternatives though?

[dire loom]

I'm terrible with stuff like that

[arctic talon]

World war 3 being avoided would be the best

tbh the Ford F150 is a bad truck lol

among many reasons for me to hate it

[dire loom]

I barely recognize little differences in vehicles

[arctic talon]

its for people who want a "truck"

but only for like all the wrong reasons lol

[dire loom]

Unless it's way years apart from another

Obviously

[arctic talon]

also just Ford making shittier cars in general nowadas

they keep on cutting corners

[dapper gyro]

Peace is not created, it is maintained. War however, can be started at any time.

[misty vector]

Oil alternatives probably wont happen, the market behind it is too big, capitalism is curb stomping innovation

[arctic talon]

also Oil is already(slowly) on its way out

for most civillian usage

[dire loom]

We must maintain peace then fren

[arctic talon]

The issue is Russia has been actively war mongering for the past like

20 years

💀

to their neighbors

for land grabs

Its not even a border dispute

[dapper gyro]

Oil company was lobbying for so long until Obama slowed them so stuff like Tesla can thrive.

Now Tesla got the market, they fuck to tbe other side of the political party to make money instead while shitting on tbe people helped them.

[arctic talon]

russia has literally never had a good ruler for the average person which is misery for the average person

Like

they've just gone from shit ruler to shit ruler

historically

the level of shit just varies but its misery for the average person

[dire loom]

Horses?

[arctic talon]

more so electric(slowly)💀

in some markets

not all markets

Depends wildly

since electric or hydrogen power adoption requires a good bit of new infastructure to be built

Hydrogen power especially

[dapper gyro]

80 years

[arctic talon]

I'm more so referring to the Russian Federation

not the USSR

but if we include the USSR then yeah

[dire loom]

Damn that sucks

[dapper gyro]

Different names, same people in the Kremlin.

[arctic talon]

💀

not wrong

Putin is also likely facing health issues now

also some more irony that the current administration in China is growing increasingly unpopular

mostly due to Xi's powergrab and a bunch of subsequent issues

[dapper gyro]

I really really wanted to visit Russia, because it was the only ally my other home country had and I appreciate it. But then seeing them bullying other people. It disgusts me.

[arctic talon]

Russia is pretty

tbh

Moscow at least

I've never been but it looks pretty in photos

[dapper gyro]

Killing people for criticizing its government... The corruption is deep.

[arctic talon]

yeah

Oh also Xi did another "corruption purge" recently(no ones been killed yet but people got removed from power or arrested)

to consolidate more power

I am sure things are going well in the CCP right now

[dapper gyro]

Different ideology, same result if people in power left unchecked.

Trump is in that bracket.

[lament shoal]

I'm convinced that if putin could bring back the USSR he would

[arctic talon]

Putin literally has been trying

or some simulacrum of it

[dapper gyro]

People let him slide because it doesn't affect them directly, so they can always blame the middle man problem.

[lament shoal]

Dude's ex KGB too

[celest dome]

Puti doesn't care about the ideology, he just want to have the URSS to show he is a great stratege

[arctic talon]

The Chinese government(ironically) had checks and balances internally

pre 2018 XI

which have slowly been uh

"disapearing"

[scenic bolt]

xi was the compromise candidate

[dapper gyro]

Russia is not run by the economy, it is run by blood.

[arctic talon]

Xi was the compromise candidate for the Chinese government except then he completely alinged with 1 of the cliques

[lament shoal]

Didn't they put all the country's muslims into camps too?

[arctic talon]

💀

[arctic talon]

no

Xinjiang is the only region thats occuring in and more specifically only Uhygers in that region(but not all of them)

still awful

since its literally a labor camp

[lament shoal]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

they're not being executed(as far as WHO and Red cross are aware)

[scenic bolt]

when has history ever shown that the easily controlled candidate can just suddenly wield power against those who brought them power

[arctic talon]

yeah Xi pretty much flipped the script

on the people who put him in power

hopefully(so China becomes less dictatory) after Xi dies or isn't the president

they add back the term limit

maybe

probably not

but Hui Muslims aren't being persecuted in China right now

[scenic bolt]

nah itll go to cai qi

[arctic talon]

for now maybe maybe not

[queen laurel]

Answer my truthfully here what was the most prosperous and least fucked era of China

[arctic talon]

but the chinese opression of Muslims

is entirely towards the uhyger ethnic group in the region of Xinjiang rn

totally fucked up

Probably the cave man era

[arctic talon]

unironically probably right now

or a few years ago

[dapper gyro]

China is xenophobic as hell.

[queen laurel]

[arctic talon]

Hu Jintao pretty massively "liberalized" the country

and then Xi did some of that

before he decided he wanted to consolidate power

he still did do some more freedom for the average person stuff/making parts of the government less powerful

but he also is grabbing power lol

but unironically the average Chinese persons life right now is pretty good

on paper

[arctic talon]

See: all of East Asia™

[dapper gyro]

Vietnam is quite open. Technically SEA, but culturally East Asia.

[arctic talon]

Vietnam is neat

They're def more culturally east asia due to having been conquered for so long 💀

[dapper gyro]

More open to homosexuality as well.

[arctic talon]

ye

[dapper gyro]

I lived through the time when it was sins to then normalize.

[arctic talon]

anyways Xi is decently popular rn

in China

even if the people are unhappy with the economy and the government by extension

[queen laurel]

Glorious tofu construction I guess

[arctic talon]

Kid named shitty skyscrapers

[dapper gyro]

Funny I was talking to some Vietnamese moved since the end of the war, they keep using the "why Vietnam copied China flag" as an argument... Then we found out that the current Vietnamese flag exists before the current Chinese flag...

[lament shoal]

Popular with the rich government people I'm sure

[arctic talon]

no he's decently popular with the average person

aside from Covid

For the rich government people he's def popular

[lament shoal]

That's insane

[arctic talon]

not really

He's not done anything to make him extremely unpopular

aside from consolidating power

[raven stone]

Please shoot me [expressing work fristrations]

[crystal forum]

do you really look up the word russian in every server you're in just to defend glorious putinland

[deep birch]

I was looking, but for a different purpose. I've never done anything like that before.

I have no goal to convince anyone

[valid needle]

Homosexuality is banned in Russia?

[spring cairn]

it's legal in russia

but the average russian is p homophobic and anti-queer and the government is aswell

[valid needle]

Dang, who knew communism was bad.

[spring cairn]

It's actually funny because they decriminalised homosexuality right after the October revolution just to have Stalin re-criminalise it in 33'

[crystal forum]

stalinism bad

@celest dome https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/jaa76ljd/bring-chaos-to-the-old-world-with-a-horde-of-rampaging-marauders/

cool new marauders

[rocky gale]

New Darkoath

[wintry cloud]

They look so much better than darkoath

[queen laurel]

Also rumor engine

[wintry cloud]

They’re actually scary looking

[rose thorn]

I like the normal darkoath more but these guys are great

I would have been upset if these guys released before darkoath

Like “okay I have to have my tribe be in the cold otherwise I die of heat stroke”

[wintry cloud]

All ive seen in my StD chat is that they’re all replacing their darkoath with these guys

Which is funny

[rose thorn]

Aw :( I really like darkoath

Conan the barbarian

They are very polar vibes

[raven stone]

I always want someone to be brave enough to use Old World Marauders as Chaos Cultists in 40k

Given how Feudal Worlds are a thing

[rose thorn]

Apparently all the factions I like are just naked

[queen laurel]

well very minimal clothing is the right word

[rose thorn]

Lmao*

[rocky gale]

I like both tbh

Would make for a nice mix

[rose thorn]

Yee it’s a good release

I wish the new one came with women

[queen laurel]

yeah I like their rough and tougher look compared Darkoath

they're all about heavy beards and very thick furs and armor

[rose thorn]

Also new transfer sheet

[rocky gale]

Yea

[wintry cloud]

Now that you said that

You’re right

[tough haven]

Weren’t invented yet

[wintry cloud]

Atleast darkoath have women

Their leader is Frydaal, a lady.

But no lady marauders?

[tough haven]
