[arctic talon]

was the same year

[wary fulcrum]

Of of the first death of US servicemen in the European theatre was a black soldier killed by US mp’s because British pubs refused to segregate

[daring creek]

Were they gathering Japanese people in camps because they thought there were spies among the population?

[heady rivet]

Same country that didnt think the Irish and Italians were White btw. America has been dominated politically by WASPs (White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant)

[dark moon]

I think that was after Pearl Harbor

[arctic talon]

On the west coast + Hawaii it was specifically due to paranoia that there could be spies/japanese empire sympathizers

[dark moon]

So 1945

[arctic talon]

And yeah

[plush mason]

yeah between the Nazis working to spread other Nazi parties around the world and the extreme isolationism there was a moment where the US might have even been an ally of the Axis powers

[arctic talon]

it was after peral harbor

[rocky gale]

People forget how much influence the Nazis were putting into the US before WW2

[daring creek]

ooooh.

[arctic talon]

yeah

the American Nazi party was like

actually politically relevant

as was the British one

ect.

[heady rivet]

Correct. A major contributing incident that FDR cites for this is when a Japanese pilot was harbored and protected by Japanese-Americans near Hawaii, iirc they killed people to protect him?

[plush mason]

just like in WW1 the main thing that lead us to back the allies was money

[arctic talon]

also

Japan

lol

[plush mason]

that got us into the war outright

[arctic talon]

Japan attacking pearl harbor killed any chance of the US joining the Axis powers

during WW2

[heady rivet]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niʻihau_incident

[arctic talon]

The US was selling to the Germans and Italians

less then Britian

but the US was selling

[daring creek]

just commodities in general or weapons?

[rocky gale]

Like there was a period in the 30s where the US considered the greatest threat at the time was the British control of Canada, not the Nazis.

[arctic talon]

the Japanese American civllians didn't kill anyone, but they def injured people

well

the japanese americans harboring the pilot

[heady rivet]

Yeah correction, they got killed in the process

[wary fulcrum]

My grandad was one of the boats we leased

When we returned it, after the war, the crew got confined the their ship because they kept fighting the US soldiers over the fact two couples had been lynched off a bridge nearby

My grandad and his friends couldn’t understand how they’d all lost friends da trying to stop specifically that process

[arctic talon]

the husband was like

the only one heavily in on it

iirc

but the Interment camps were very much racist lol

and a majority of the people sent didn't harbor any loyalty to the Japanese Government

[heady rivet]

Yeah, it was motivated by anti-Japanese sentiment

[arctic talon]

prolly like 99%

Yeah

[heady rivet]

They had soldiers from the camps

[heady rivet]

Assigned to Europe ofc

[arctic talon]

and a lot of the people sent never got their land or houses back

or property

ect.

[heady rivet]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/442nd_Infantry_Regiment_(United_States)

[arctic talon]

the one state on the west coast least effected by the internment camps

was ironically hawaii

because way too much of the population had Japanese ancestry

[heady rivet]

My mom used to live in Hawaii and her job was to be a pretty Blonde American woman for Japanese businessmen on vacation to drink with

[arctic talon]

for the US to even try doing it the way they had in California/Oregon/Washington(state)

[heady rivet]

The idea being that they then buy her drinks or she encourages them to buy more drinks

[daring creek]

Oh shit

Interesting.

[rocky gale]

and then the after war period where quite a few GI's returns from the Pacific with Asian wives and faced constant harassment because people just assumed they were Japanese

[heady rivet]

(Note: Often were)

[rocky gale]

They were quite a few Japanese wives later when people stationed in Japan after the war ended started to return a couple years later, but a lot of the earlier ones were from other East Asian and Pacific island countries

[heady rivet]

Shoutout to that time the Aussies rioted because the American men were too popular with women (Among other reasons but point and laugh)

[languid meadow]

the battle in the UK that was racist GIs vs Black US troops and UK MPs

[valid needle]

Prided themselves on immigration? Whilst they still had segregation and whilst they were equally prejudice against their Irish people?

[heady rivet]

Americans got better rations, pay, access to general goods, MacArthur was a cunt (His usual state), etc. And alos were popular with the women

[languid meadow]

Irish people werent "white" until the 40s

[valid needle]

And even then it wasn’t their kind of white

[heady rivet]

The Irish earned Whiteness by being in too many Americans, and the East Coast WASPs losing relevancy (HOWEVER SLIGHTLY). If they had their political monopoly still, the Irish would be seen as Black

[valid needle]

even today just look at how Irish Americans are portrayed in television and movies, scruffy, dirty, drunks. It’s still very apparent.

[rocky gale]

It's also in a lot of little phrases people don't even think about like "Irish Goodbye"

Which if you've ever met an Irish person you'll know is not something we do

Saying goodbye as an Irish person is a 9 step process

[heady rivet]

Perfidious Albion strikes again

[rocky gale]

It's an American invention actually I think

The English used to call it a French Exit, while in French it translated to "Leave as the English do"

[heady rivet]

Perfidious Albion (Richmond, Virginia)

[quasi temple]

Do tell?

[languid meadow]

Image for the earlier convo we had around GW

[plush mason]

it really shows how the stock market actually works that they posted record half year profits and their stock still went down 3%

[quasi temple]

Economics makes no sense

Disliked the class, dislike the subject.

Everything always seems to be a "well, actually.." kind of answer

[plush mason]

it does once you learn that its all bullshit speculation trading and barely disguised money laundering at least as far as the stock market goes

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[fervent geode]

Demand and Supply is everything i guess

[winter pine]

The stock market is literally just a bunch of guys snorting copium all day

[plush mason]

yup

[fervent geode]

The stock market is the realm of endless speculation

[winter pine]

Just don't pretend the post-ww2 order is over and AI is bullshit no one wants, the number will keep going up if we don't say anything

[arctic talon]

Stock market isn’t really real lol

It’s very fake

Actual economics makes sense

In terms of

[crystal forum]

you can call it fake but it will still affect your life

[arctic talon]

When people want stuff

More stuff is made

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[heady rivet]

The US economy is 8 companies moving the same billion dollars that dont exist around

[arctic talon]

So learn the basics of the extra fancy slot machine and gamble

[fervent geode]

That and numerous factors impacting how much stuff is wanted and how much can be made for them with limited resources

[plush mason]

8? i figured it was more like 4

[fervent geode]

So ueah

It did kinda make sense

[heady rivet]

4 of them are AI companies that have pretend money that doesnt exist

[arctic talon]

That’s every economy

If you have a stock market you have a bunch of “fake” money that’s real

[plush mason]

frankly stock trading hasnt been an actual part of economics for like 20 years

[arctic talon]

It isn’t

It’s basically its own thing

[plush mason]

yup

[arctic talon]

You can use it as your own degenerate casino to print out cash if you want

It’s what I do

It’s also what my parents do

💀

[heady rivet]

What are we doin here bro

[crystal forum]

it's what most people who want long term investments do wolf

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

China’s stock market is so fucking funny lol

It’s just as degenerate as every other one

[plush mason]

long term? you aint doing it right if you dont want instant returns

[arctic talon]

But the Chinese government puts their finger on the scale sometimes lol

[winter pine]

Clearly this is worth giving Nvidia another bajillion dollars: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/l5gUGL_VnT0

[crystal forum]

if you want to play roulette you gotta do way more volatile investments like crypto

now that's where the addiction is

[arctic talon]

Also yeah the stock market isn’t good for instant return

If you want instant return you do crypto shit or actual gambling

[winter pine]

nah I've known about crypto since I discovered bitcoin in 2011, completely rigged game if you're not an insider

[heady rivet]

Communism with Chinese (Capitalism) characteristics

[plush mason]

then why are all the major investors on the boards looking for that?

[fervent geode]

Dengism...

[arctic talon]

Glory to Deng

[plush mason]

note by instant i mean return within the same quarter they invested in

[winter pine]

💯

[arctic talon]

Deng deadass turned China into what it is now lol

To think he almost got executed

💀

[fervent geode]

They want to see a good ROI, bu they wont cashout

[arctic talon]

Wonder how that would have went

[winter pine]

I'm fascinated with Deng because he was so good at building up China

[fervent geode]

Cultural revolution went crazy

[winter pine]

Like in terms of modern head of a nation he's top 5 at least, right?

[fervent geode]

They killed his buddy Liu Shaoqi and he was next

[arctic talon]

Bro almost got shot by a bunch of 16 year olds

[arctic talon]

In terms of how they managed to turn a country around yes

[plush mason]

yeah the cashout comes once the company starts to tank, then they move on to the next company

[arctic talon]

But uh I don’t like him very much for other reasons

lol

🇹🇼

Anyways jokes aside Deng did like an infinitely better job then Mao

[fervent geode]

Btw those same kids were going to blow up the forbidden city, until zhou enlai and i think lin biao had to save it

[winter pine]

Xi Jingping on his way to piss away whatever advantage he might have from the great satan's collapse

[fervent geode]

Yeah basically

[heady rivet]

Oh there's even more fascinating

[arctic talon]

Tbf this dude died in ww2

He got buried alive

[fervent geode]

Basically state capitalism 101 in country with massive resources and really cheap and huge labour pool

[fervent geode]

Apparently they were anticipating it the last time he tried pulling his bs lmao

[arctic talon]

Unsurprising LOL

[heady rivet]

I will not let death stop me from giggling about insane Chinese warlords

[fervent geode]

This man is a poet

[arctic talon]

Chinese warlord era

Is highly entertaining

It’s also a horrid period of time

But it’s so interesting

[winter pine]

Warhammer 40k lore when actual Chinese history walks in the room

[heady rivet]

Comedy is just tragedy turned sideways, but yeah its fucked

[fervent geode]

Its when any sicko in a uniform with some experience could potentially become a warlord like its spring and autumn period again

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[heady rivet]

Chinese history has better numbers for realism than the Imperium of Man...

[crystal forum]

history could have gone so differently if one warlord or another did things slightly differently

[fervent geode]

I recall when the garrison of a city being sieged by rebels in the an lushan rebellion began to eat the civilians en masse in order to survive

[heady rivet]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Suiyang

[arctic talon]

Wrong period

[fervent geode]

Yeah this was a long time ago

But still

I also recall when the huanghe dams got breached and flooded to deny japan easy times and keep them out of sichuan

That was in 1938

[crystal forum]

can i say how much i despise how many subscription services exist

i have to get like 10 different add ons just to watch a movie

[fervent geode]

It sucks yeah

I gave up

All thats left of my subscriptions is like spotify premium

Basically all the companies now want exclusives for their platform so you throw money at them

[heady rivet]

Not true

[crystal forum]

did they say that?

[tough haven]

Idk I just blindly post memes without fact checking as an agent of chaos

[arctic talon]

yes, in their investor report

@crystal forum

on page 4

[fervent geode]

Ye there's an IGN article on it too

[arctic talon]

also We have also agreed we will be maintaining a strong commitment to protect our intellectual property and respect our human creators. In the period reported, we continued to invest in our Warhammer Studio - hiring more creatives in multiple disciplines from concepting and art to writing and sculpting. Talented and passionate individuals that make Warhammer the rich, evocative IP that our hobbyists and we all love.

[fervent geode]

Honestly good work james, hope they stick to it

[crystal forum]

i wonder what reason they have for this

[fervent geode]

Well ppl being happy and buying stuff so big money and good PR leading to more money

The anti AI pushback has made some companies actually think about this

[crystal forum]

i doubt that's the reason when it comes to GW

[fervent geode]

Which is good because even if its all money in their mind its saving creative jobs

[winter pine]

Reliance on a relatively small number of whales who hate generative AI and can make it hurt if they want to is my hunch

[fervent geode]

Well if not that, idk

[crystal forum]

they do straight up say it's for IP reasons which makes sense since IP ownership is muddled when AI is involved

[fervent geode]

Maybe everyone at hames genuinely hates abominable intelligence

[fervent geode]

That too defo

Its an issue everywhere

[crystal forum]

GW might just want to be 100% sure they legally own the models they have

[fervent geode]

Makes sense

Either way, whatever motives they had im glad this happened

[arctic talon]

1. Paranoia about copyright

2. GW always being of the opinion of slow and steady being extremely low risk

3. Good PR

They already banned AI anything at golden demon

No AI background art for dioramas and stuff

[heady rivet]

It helps that literally every other company using AI has been repeatedly (and rightfully) given shit for it, always called "slop", etc

Someone earloer saod just the act of saying you dont use it is great PR

Plus GW actually values artists

[crisp heath]

my nvidia drivber updated by itself out of nowhere

[honest trellis]

LMAO

yeah in the way a slaughterhouse values pigs

[shadow plover]

if you are referring them not crediting their artists (which sucks) there's a reason for it, they stopped crediting any creatives by name after people got very shitty about Matt Wards codex writing, at least that's what most people think is the reason, we've of course never heard this being confirmed by themselves

[honest trellis]

let's be real, they're not heartbroken about not having another duncan, nor have they improved with the litany of creatives they either fired for standing up to fash or drove off (Reynolds)

Or for that matter the studio model designers themselves...

[shadow plover]

First time I've heard them firing creatives

or like, I'm sure that has happened for some reason or other myriad of times across the years but you know

[crystal forum]

i was under the impression that GW sculpters are all like 30 years into their career

[honest trellis]

The one that did the solar auxilia storm sculpt resculpts and some necromunda was not a fan of how his work was treated

Some lore ik are just from lore videos lmao

[rose thorn]

I suggest picking up some AOS books too

Age of Sigmar?

[storm jungle]

Nothing but 30k

[rose thorn]

And some xenos stuff

[storm jungle]

jesus christ

[storm jungle]

what an awful intro into the setting

[heady rivet]

Read Night Lords omnibus TRUST. I have a 100% bias

[rose thorn]

Tbf literlaly every source tells you to read 30l books

[storm jungle]

No?

30k literally has nothing to do with modern 40k

[heady rivet]

What source???

[glass drum]

I followed the list for 30k honestly xd

[storm jungle]

Yeah bad move 💀

[heady rivet]

Grim

[storm jungle]

30k prepares you for like nothing in 40k

[heady rivet]

Alright here's what you're gonna do

You're gonna pick up Eisenhorn

[glass drum]

This one

Well i am liking it so far

[storm jungle]

I GAVE THAT BECAUSE I ASSUMED YOU ALREADY KNEW 40K STUFF

[rose thorn]

When I was getting into 40K faction books it suggested “oh the top warhammer 40K books

Fulgrim
Etc etc

You can guess

[storm jungle]

Yeah but those are just a few 30k books

theres 40k ones next to them as well

this isnt a "source" its a random store maggie 💀

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[glass drum]

Oh generally like 30k transition to 40k is definitely from lore vids 🤣

[rose thorn]

It was some fuck ass website for book reviews

[glass drum]

Think tbh i've started getiting into 40k staff maybe 6 months now

[rose thorn]

I now just type a faction name into Apple Books and find one I like

[glass drum]

Lore is pretty crazy

[glass drum]

I did like fulgrim's too

EC pre-heresy were cooler

[shadow plover]

I mean it's not inherently wrong to start with 30k, you'll just miss a lot of the nuance of the world in general

[glass drum]

Well i do like to learn how it got to 40k first too imo

So taking my time

[shadow plover]

a friend of mine did the same and it has been pretty fun to listen to his theories and ideas what might happen along the way without any proper knowledge of the 40k universe

[storm jungle]

Thats the thing though

[heady rivet]

My go-to suggestion for 40k starts is always gonna be like, Eisenhorn as a great intro in. Even the Ciaphas Cain books are better for 40k than any 30k book. 30k works better as a retrospective, almost. But Eisenhorn, while being great, is really "Babys first 40k", its like the Batman Year 1 of 40k book suggestions. Or more like Long Halloween

[storm jungle]

the HH doesnt really cover the main parts of 40k like at all

it took us 51 books for it to be finally over

now only the NEW Scouring series is covering the transition to 40k

[rose thorn]

40K books I suggest

Assassin kingmaker
Luther
Lords of silence
Day of ascension
Spear of the emperor

AOS books I suggest

Almsot any of them
Dominion (good lore intro)
Beast grave
Godeater’s son (read this much later)
Dark harvest
Skaventide

[heady rivet]

HH is a fun side thing for Astartes fans

[storm jungle]

^

its superhero slop media

it doesnt cover ANYTHING of the Imperium's transition to 40k

like, at all

[rose thorn]

Lmao

[storm jungle]

minus maybe like the webway project and the astronomican?

thats literally all i can think of it lol

the actual transition shit is all in teh scouring and that just has 1 book rn

[heady rivet]

And does the Webway project even narratively matter now outside of Master of Mankind, really?

[glass drum]

Was surprised to learn that the recent book was the scouring
Thought by now there was a handful already

[rose thorn]

Can’t wait to stop hearing about hytale in like 2 weeks

[heady rivet]

What is that

[storm jungle]

They milked the shit out of 30k for over 25 years so

[rocky gale]

Warhammer has too much lore for one to learn, you must simply be born with the innate genetic memory in which it is stored

[storm jungle]

Yeah good point it literally doesnt lol

[rose thorn]

Minecraft with rpg elements and micro tractions made by the hypixel team

AoS & wh40k are in the same universe right?

[rose thorn]

No

They are utterly unrelated they just share khorne nurgle Slaanesh and tzeenthc

Otherwise they have zero connections

Shut up man

[celest dome]

The 2 material realities are separated.
The 2 Magic realms (Realm of Soul >< Warp) are separated.
This is the only thing that matter.
But outside of it, the different setting are part of a multi-verse, and Chaos basically invade the Magic realm then the material ones

I forget I am surrounded by Europeans in this server

Well I should say the entire world outside USA

But mostly just Europeans

[dapper gyro]

And? You want Americans to be treated differently?

Btw, your nickname for this server is the most antithesis to the Krieg of 40K. Fake fan.

[storm jungle]

Theres like 4-5 Americans in this channel alone lol

[celest dome]

[shadow plover]

Americans should be treated differently (worse)

[quasi temple]

Only 4 others besides me?

[dapper gyro]

Among the regulars, kind of. There are more as well, but they never say anything about their origin. Though, with some pattern on their convo, they are pretty sure to be Americans.

How that message felt

[storm jungle]

Perhaps.

[rocky gale]

Oh you asked the stages of saying goodbye as an Irish person, so first you sort of make sounds like you're about to get up, like an exhale of breath or muttering "boys a dear" your host should pick up on this and say "suppose you should be heading off" at which point you look at your watch/clock/phone and go "is that the time" and mention how long you've been chatting etc, you then make your excuses for what needs to be done and why you've to go and make your first goodbye, you'd then stand up and begin to leave, they go with you while still talking to you, you will potentially mention seeing them again soon and will stop at the door where you will remember something you meant to say and you'll discuss it for a few minutes before saying "now I really must go" and saying goodbye again, they will then open the door and you'll step out and have a wee chat again, they'll also leave the house and stand outside with you while chatting some more and then finally you'll say one final goodbye as you leave, while they stand waiting, then as you get in your car to drive off you'll turn around and look at them, they'll still be standing there and you wave and call out "bye" they will do the same and then and only then will you leave, they will watch you leave while waving and only after you've left will they go back inside and close the door

This process can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour

[dapper gyro]

It happens a lot with my group of co-workers.

An hour is kind of the standard

[rocky gale]

The jist is essentially the guest is instilling that they don't want to leave and are only doing so because they have to, while the host is acknowledging that they don't want to leave but accepting they need to and insisting that they wish they could stay as well but can't

[vagrant fox]

Work more or less the same at home

Someone goes ajú or nå and then talking goes on for another 15 minutes and then leaving takes another 45 minutes

[sleek vale]

Sssssh

[sleek vale]

Senseless comment 💔

[outer wave]

Is that just how the majority of Irish people say goodbye to one another? Its pretty long winded but its kinda sweet in a way

[near wasp]

A fellow American but he's a kriegs man fan

[rocky gale]

Usually family, close friends etc

[crystal forum]

damn if only the thing made by british people had more americans involved

[languid meadow]

HATE

Also

https://tenor.com/view/mr-house-fallout-gif-13852786796787786336

New episode is pretty good

[crystal forum]

also hot take but patriotism is gay in a metaphysical sense

a country is nothing more than a vague concept created by the aristocrats of old so the peasants would fight for them

also americans are sub human

[storm jungle]

Theres nothing wrong with patriotism

the thing is it can very easily veer towards jingoism (aka most of America rn lol)

imo theres a difference

[quasi temple]

Amazing. I wish the people around me were that friendly. Or perhaps passove aggressive?

[crystal forum]

i think you have to make a difference between being proud of culture and being proud of the country you live in

i don't think patriotism is in any way good for anything

and pride is an easily exploitable feeling

[languid meadow]

That's patriotism, I think you're thinking of nationalism.

[quasi temple]

Well I've often been confused about the difference.

Lots of people seem to use country and nation interchangeably

[crystal forum]

no, patriotism is related to a country or state

you cant be patriotic about your culture

[young pecan]

Reminds me of how some people in the US actually get in the military to "serve the country" instead of grabbing free education and a bunch of money to set you up

[outer wave]

I see I see, still very sweet regardless

[young pecan]

The only thing you're serving is children to landmines bro 💔

[quasi temple]

That was part of the appeal why I joined at 17. I tldidnt have any cause greater than myself besides World of Warcraft. Oh the follies of youth

[crystal forum]

notice how ads for the army are always about shit like helping during environmental crisis

[young pecan]

As long as you learn that's the important part tbh

[crystal forum]

as if helping people is the main purpose of the guys running around with guns

[young pecan]

Or muh navee seels in badass combat scenarios

Making it ACTUALLY look like CoD LMAO

[crystal forum]

that's when they're being actually honest at least

here the ads are all about the scenery you'll see and the friends you'll make in the army like it's a vacation

[quasi temple]

Most American military service results in bouts of intense training followed by very long periods of boredom

[young pecan]

Try not to frag challenge difficulty impossible

[languid meadow]

If you're talking about our military there's a reason for this since we don't have a nat guard like the US, so the main military does this job.

it's weird

[crystal forum]

i've seen it in the US too

[quasi temple]

Of a truth I do miss my Army friends.

[crystal forum]

i've seen some pretty hard cope from ex army guys talking about how the experiences made the whole thing worth it

as if you can't make friends at a normal job

[quasi temple]

Thats part of what gets people to go back

[humble shoal]

I mean national guard tends to help in natural disasters

[quasi temple]

Especially combat guys. Lots of them have trouble adjusting to a different workplace culture

Bonus points if they joined the job at a younger age

[humble shoal]

There are also the people in the USS mercy that literally go around the world giving medical care.

[quasi temple]

Anyone seen The Hurt Locker? Kind of like that

[crystal forum]

there exists disaster relief organizations that do this without having guns with them is what i'm trying to say

[humble shoal]

And a couple other jobs that arent murdering people

[crystal forum]

like sure it's something they can do

but it's a military

[quasi temple]

That would be a cool job

[humble shoal]

Get medical school paid for too typically

[humble shoal]

National guard ends up being faster than Fema (but slower than waffle house) due to being rypically local (and in a different command structure)

[quasi temple]

Perhaps because militaries are likely to have the funding for those types of large scale projects?

[crystal forum]

the main point of USS mercy is to help the US military

it's not some benevolent force of good

it exists to serve the war machine just like the rest of the military

[humble shoal]

It exists as propoganda for soft power

[quasi temple]

But at ita head sits the God Emperor of Manki- i mean the presiden- i mean that one guy

LISAN AL-GAIB

[humble shoal]

But still helps people

[crystal forum]

during a time of war i can guarantee you its beds will not be used by civilians

[humble shoal]

Assuming both sides are signatories of the geneva convention there will likely be both sides soldiers going in there

[rocky gale]

Id unironically buy this

Peak

[crystal forum]

there are multiple countries with local disaster relief organizations. this is just a US brain excuse

[humble shoal]

... I just named the non-military disaster relief force

[crystal forum]

you said it was inefficient

[humble shoal]

No I said the national guard was faster

[dapper gyro]

Thanks for following the typical American stereotype.

[quasi temple]

Military Industrial Complex for the lose

[humble shoal]

Because they are under local control, instead of federal

Its not an efficiency thing its a distance thing

[crystal forum]

there could be local things is what im telling you

[humble shoal]

There typically are, and they are supported by the national guard

[quasi temple]

I think their point is that we use a military outfit for disaster relief when other countries have organizations independent of their militaries that do the same

[humble shoal]

Like we just have both

[quasi temple]

The fact that we use the national guard evokes certain questions though, questions which can't be invalidated by "ita the American way"

[humble shoal]

Not to mention a military is likely to help out with a natural disaster anyways, because they have manpower that can help

[dapper gyro]

Many countries use the military for disaster assist.

[quasi temple]

Oh?

Perhaps Im missing the point too then

[dapper gyro]

Look at all of the countries with high number of storms.

[crystal forum]

japan doesn't afaik

and they have very good disaster relief

[humble shoal]

https://www.mod.go.jp/gsdf/english/dro/

No?

[dapper gyro]

All of the SEA countries deploy their militaries during storms.

[languid meadow]

Militaries have been used for disaster relief for millennia which makes sense, having a reserve of well bodied people who can do stuff in a coordinated manner helps with that

[quasi temple]

So is the point that the US leveraging he zeitgeist for its military by using it for disaster relief produces incorrect ideas of patriotism, or am I completely off base here?

[crystal forum]

wait why am i arguing about this i don't even care. my original point is that the army will make you believe you're joining to help people in times of crisis yet when shit happens you will be the first to put a bullet through somebody's skull when ordered to

[humble shoal]

Yeah thats true

[crystal forum]

doesn't matter how much they help, that's just the state using assets at their disposal

[dapper gyro]

African countries, Australia/New Zealand, Central America and Mexico.

[quasi temple]

Ah, there, that makes sense

[dapper gyro]

Hell, even Canada

We deploy the army to assist with fire fighting.

[crystal forum]

the worst is you might even be shooting your own countrymen as an american national guard these days

[quasi temple]

To be fair, when you want people to believe in a cause you do your best to make the cause look benevolent. Perhaps ironically we are chatting about this on a discord server for a game where the characters live with the same type of indoctrination

[humble shoal]

I do not envy the national guard of blue states rn tbh

Since they have conflicting command structures, no agency and all of the accountability

[quasi temple]

Some months ago they were advised to not follow unlawful orders. We'll see how that works, because ICE sure doesnt care..

[humble shoal]

Governer tells you to resist federal authority, but you are still accountable to the feds

[crystal forum]

i don't trust military personnel to not follow orders. that's just contrary to how a military works

[quasi temple]

Granted.

The hope however, would be that individuals recognize their personhood before their military status

[humble shoal]

Id argue they purged out most of the elements that would have qiestioned orders (most of the experienced nco class) during the surge

[quasi temple]

Historically low statistics there, but hope is hope

[crystal forum]

i don't want to make a direct comparison but the werhacht was given many illegal orders during WW2 and the rate of german soldiers not following orders was super low

not to mention you'd just get sent to concentration camps if you dissented which is a different situation

we're not at that point yet

[quasi temple]

Exactly. And that comparison remains valid at this time. That gives so many of us reason to be afraid

No no, we are at the concentration camps already

'Twas even mentioned in the infamous Project 2025

[humble shoal]

The us also had concentration camps

They just didnt kill the people in them explicitly

[languid meadow]

Legit everyone was doing it during the war (doesn't justify it but puts into perspective on how horrific the germans one were to already horrible places)

[sleek vale]

Damn these foreigners have decent ragebait

[humble shoal]

I mean you are in a discord for a game made by swedes

[crystal forum]

in a british IP

[quasi temple]

Imagine being one of us and having to live with its possibility in everyday conversation. Its exhausting

[humble shoal]

God I hate the double tap auto emote response

[crystal forum]

yeah why does it pick the most random emoji too

[rocky gale]

It's your most used I think

Or it's supposed to be

[crystal forum]

but that one isnt

[humble shoal]

Yoy can change it

[crystal forum]

my most used is

[humble shoal]

Dont remember how

[quasi temple]

And what's worse, the culture has declined far enough that everything touches on a socio-political issue, and many of us have great difficulties abstaining from false attribution error

[languid meadow]

My goat is in the new fallout episode

[crystal forum]

i assume he won't be funny at all

wild wasteland shit worked because the rest of the game was pretty depressing

[languid meadow]

He's there for like 5 seconds

[crystal forum]

is he funny

or just another reference

[heady rivet]

I said this before but the Kriegsmarine largely got off scot free after WW2 because everything they tried to get em on was done by the Allies first or worse

[languid meadow]

Also doesn't help that the kiregsmarine was just

gone basically by the end

[heady rivet]

That too

[crystal forum]

to be fair the navy's orders to sink civilian merchant vessels was given by the command

[languid meadow]

Donitz was charged with something

[crystal forum]

it was their doctrine after all

[heady rivet]

Like the Kriegsmarine started the war helping survivors from ships they torpedoed until the Allies used that chance to fire on them. You dont have to go far to find examples of Allies being like "Yeah there were a lot of survivors in the water from a German/Japanese ship so we just left em/steered the ship through em"

[languid meadow]

"Karl Dönitz was convicted at the Nuremberg Trials primarily for planning and waging aggressive war (crimes against peace) and war crimes related to unrestricted submarine warfare, specifically ordering U-boat commanders not to rescue merchant ship survivors, which violated international law. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, serving time for allowing slave labor and directing attacks without warning, but acquitted of crimes against humanity, largely because the Allies used similar tactics"

[crystal forum]

japanese navy commanders though should have all been executed

[heady rivet]

Yeah, the Navies openly admitted they didnt want to set a precedent for trying those crimes juuust in case it came back around

[crystal forum]

also just unit 731 and how it was basically acquitted on all charges

[heady rivet]

And the Soviets and Americans racing to scoop up every scientist in Germany

The Space Race was Germans racing each other

[quasi temple]

And everyone lost

And we continue to lose today

[heady rivet]

USSR First to kill a dog in space 💪

[crystal forum]

the fact that the US could send man to the moon in 1969 proves to me that the only reason tech is so slow is because no money is being put into research

it's insane how they pulled it off with 60's technology

[heady rivet]

Not much money to be made in space, so

[quasi temple]

Fun fact: the Musk rocket that can land itself after launching emits a SPL of over 140 dBA at a kilometer away.

[languid meadow]

I fully believe this is due to lobbying because there is 100% money to be made in space

[outer wave]

What's an SPL?

[crystal forum]

like i know this is pretty obvious but imagine if the budget was still like this instead of all fucking going to israel

[quasi temple]

We have fancy rockets that can move people and things, but it will destroy cars, houses, and people's hearing

[heady rivet]

In what ways?

[quasi temple]

Sound pressure level

[outer wave]

Ahhh

Fuck thats high

[quasi temple]

Yeap!

[languid meadow]

Rare earth minerals in asteroids and on the moon, helium 3 on the moon (which is why China is so interested in it)

[crystal forum]

well no shit it's due to lobbying. companies have been trying successfully to privatize space since the 90's

NASA these days just serves as a grant funding agency for companies

i am no joking

that's how spaceX even started

it's all thanks to NASA

[heady rivet]

The price of space mining will never meet the profit, sadly. Unless someone figures out how to get things to and from space in vast quantities for basically free

[crystal forum]

so public taxes go to an agency who gives grants to companies so they don't immediately crumble and then those companies then charge the same tax payers money to use their services

i fucking hate capitalism i swear to christ

[languid meadow]

we have prototypes for moon to earth stuff the most expensive part would be getting it all there, at a certain point the value of the moon cannot be ignored by most nations

China is already gonna beat us there

[quasi temple]

If only there were some other way of government where resources allocation was determined by objective need...

[crystal forum]

yeah instead of whatever makes the most money

because private services like railway and healthcare are proven to work /s

[jade holly]

So that new Jaghatai Khan model

That looks sick honestly

But I don’t usually get JoyToy figures

[crystal forum]

now cue in starlink and that shit is so expensive that it only caters to a very specific niche of rural people who can afford it

i genuinely have no idea how spacex is still making money

[languid meadow]

gov contracts

that's it

Tesla and SpaceX are heavily subsidies by the US gov and that's why Elon had to pussy out of his political shit and suck on the tits of turnip back in June

because he threatened to pull those contracts

[heady rivet]

This so LBJ could be president + like 6 Marshal Plans to countries that didnt even get better

[crystal forum]

yeah gotta coup some south american countries

clearly the most pressing issue

at its peak NASA only had a little over 4% of fed budget

[heady rivet]

Another thing is PR. Nasa went to the moon so much the novelty was gone. The later Apollo mission launches struggled to even get time on the news

So the American public was just "whatever" about it

[crystal forum]

yeah the reasons are obvious it was always about the politics of making the commies look bad

because we can't have noble goals as a species i guess

[quasi temple]

I have a few guesses

cough funding from dictatorships who want to weaponize the tech cough

[crystal forum]

i don't believe spacex's stuff can be weaponized

[quasi temple]

Trump and Musk were really buddy buddy at one point.

And then suddenly they werent

[humble shoal]

Starlink seems to have been neutralized anyways

[languid meadow]

technically It's been done already

[humble shoal]

As an asset there

[heady rivet]

99% of dictatorships of the proletariat collpase right before the ethnic minority cleaning that will fix everything for real this time

[crystal forum]

spy satellites have already existed for a while

and low earth orbit is not good for them anyways

they work better in geosync

[quasi temple]

So you're saying my country can recover?

[humble shoal]

And one can jam them now supposedly

[crystal forum]

depends if you can find them. that's the entire idea

[heady rivet]

Deport another million Western Slavs to Siberia and this will achieve communism

[humble shoal]

Was referring to Iran completely jamming all starlink in Tehran

Hardware wise

[quasi temple]

America wants to try its hand at that, except the ethnic minority of choice is any non-white, but particularly hispanics

[crystal forum]

oh i didnt hear of that

i wonder how they managed that

iran of all places

[humble shoal]

Yeah https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/01/13/iran-starlink-protest-musk-trump/

[quasi temple]

Hmm

Curious

[humble shoal]

With help from russia and china

[quasi temple]

sarcasm

[crystal forum]

ah that makes sense

[humble shoal]

Russias been trying out jamming it in ukraine

And chinas been working on it as well

For a future military exercise

[heady rivet]

Elon Musk already turned it off for Ukraine while they were in the middle of a drone attack once

[crystal forum]

now im really curious how you can jam a collection of LEO satellites

[humble shoal]

You can probably just.... break the connection if you can track it

[quasi temple]

A magnetic field with a large radius and great directionality

[heady rivet]

Which only bought time for the black sea fleet before it was ravaged even more by a country without a navy

[humble shoal]

By sending a bunch of connection requests

Or use a radio jammer to stop leos from getting the output

[crystal forum]

other than like shine lasers at them since they all communicate between eachother through light

[humble shoal]

They use sound too

[celest dome]

You jam the ground recievers and not the satelites I'd guess

[heady rivet]

You Ace Combat 7 the entire satellite network

[celest dome]

You send some money to Musky

[humble shoal]

Some older satellites may also have vulns

That can be exploited

[crystal forum]

that makes more sense

[quasi temple]

Whatever the method, it sure smells Musky

[winged jacinth]

Its really easy to see all the satellites so you just saturation attack with the signal they use and drown out the message afaik

[languid meadow]

god turned off non-historical ai....

[crystal forum]

the issue is there's a lot of them

[winged jacinth]

Not that many though

[languid meadow]

insane to me the amount of pro shah flags flying around the protests/revolutionaries

Legault resigned?

[winged jacinth]

And you only need to hit the subset with coverage over the target area

[languid meadow]

what

[heady rivet]

When the current shitty thing made up of liars tells you the old thing is bad you tend to think they might be wrong

[crystal forum]

you'd still need to point the jam in the general direction of each satellite though i feel

[languid meadow]

https://fxtwitter.com/SteveDelDucaFan/status/2011231160563884351?s=20

[humble shoal]

Not for the receiver

Probably

[languid meadow]

It's two shit things it's just one is less shit

[crystal forum]

receiver is on the ground right

[humble shoal]

Yeah

[crystal forum]

well wouldn't it be very far away

[winged jacinth]

Starlink isnt like gps where it talks to satellites on the horizon the range to the reciever is limited by beam coherence iirc

[languid meadow]

If the crown prince ever returns it's a coin flip on whether or not he'll be just as bad as his father

[humble shoal]

Waves go far

[spring cairn]

dude

[languid meadow]

or actually reform and grow

[heady rivet]

Yes but if you were an Iranian zoomer, which one shot at you last week?

[spring cairn]

they're gonna execute the south korean president or some shit

wtf is going on

[languid meadow]

yeah I saw that

[heady rivet]

Rolls worst coup ever
Asked to die

[humble shoal]

But yeah it needs a lot of bandwidth

[spring cairn]

literally

i didn't even know they still had the death penalty there

[crystal forum]

afaik that's negligible since there's barely any atmosphere to mess with the signals

[heady rivet]

East Asian countries love the death penalty. China still just shoots people. Not even a firing squad, just one guy shoots you in the head afaik

[quasi temple]

Well in and out of Earth causes refraction.

[languid meadow]

SK hasn't executed anyone in 30 years

this would be the first

[heady rivet]

Man it really was the worst coup ever

[humble shoal]

Its pretty much the same as wifi jamming just with way more power Im assuming

[languid meadow]

considering the soldiers that showed up there to "help" were cleary not in on it

yeah

[winged jacinth]

Its more the beam tightness and accuracy to get a 1:1 connection limits you to the maybe 2 dozen nearest sats in the constellation iirc

[quasi temple]

Not to mention Beam divergence, packet integrity...

[winged jacinth]

Its a problem from a different angle than astronomy

[crystal forum]

oh yeah that's the idea of why there's so many of them

they all interlink between eachother

[languid meadow]

[spring cairn]

scary

[winged jacinth]

If you're a nation jamming all the sats that can talk to an operation area is doable
Doesnt matter if they can talk to each other if none of them talk to the ground

I really need to shower and leave the house im gonna be late

[crystal forum]

dont shower embrace stink

[quasi temple]

Alternatively, you could just be late

[raven stone]

Don’t shower embrace Nurgle.
Fixed.

[quasi temple]

Don't embrace, shower Nurgle

[humble shoal]

Jyna says ~93 jammers needed for taiwan

[heady rivet]

Meanwhile

Its 100% fake but

They still do execute a lot

[languid meadow]

That's fucking hilarious

Looney Toons ass death

[quasi temple]

But..

[humble shoal]

They have amusement parks 10/10 no lines

[spring cairn]

wile e coyote ahh death sentence

[quasi temple]

Can a hot air balloon get that far?

[quasi temple]

Wouldn't it require lots of fuel to overcome the temperature gradients?

And the pressure changes too

[languid meadow]

it would have to be a space balloon

[quasi temple]

So its nit a linear function

[spring cairn]

hot hair balloons are so scary mang

how do u trust that shit

[humble shoal]

I dont, I expect the sweet release of death

[spring cairn]

i saw a vid of a crash and it was traumatizing

[quasi temple]

I'd like to go into a hit air balloon just once

[spring cairn]

the ppl aboard just jump out

[humble shoal]

There was the one dude who went up to the assisted breathing required section from what I remember

He survived somehow....

[quasi temple]

And if I get the gall to go a second time im bringing a parachute or a wing suit and im flying home

[spring cairn]

i'm scared of heights anyway so your not making me get into that thing

[heady rivet]

Do you think they like, screamed on the way up as they slowly rose or just sorta awkwardly stared back at everyone as they floated away

[spring cairn]

don't forget the whistle

[quasi temple]

Im also scared of heights. Its why I want to do it at least once

[spring cairn]

you're not right in the head Goat_Tickler97

[crystal forum]

remember that guy who made the highest parachute jump

[celest dome]

I think I might have found an even more senseless chain weapon than the Chain Flail

[quasi temple]

Go on

[humble shoal]

The ceo of google?

[quasi temple]

How to hold while chain active?

[crystal forum]

just that it happened lol

[humble shoal]

Who beat the cool dude like a month after

[crystal forum]

aw man really

[quasi temple]

Was that a Redbull stunt?

[crystal forum]

yeah

[quasi temple]

Oh yeah. I remember this now

[dapper gyro]

Redbull stunt, but it is an actual stunt and record.

[crystal forum]

they used a weather balloon i think

[quasi temple]

And if that was a balloon then my entire schema of "hot air balloon" os incomplete

[humble shoal]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Eustace

[crystal forum]

one of those ballons that go insanely high

[celest dome]

Like a Chakram

[heady rivet]

The American dollar is FINISHED!

[quasi temple]

HE IS A PROGRAMMER??!!

[languid meadow]

Tana.... Tuva...

[quasi temple]

Lmao, you just never know who!!

[crystal forum]

rich person break world record, nobody impressed

[humble shoal]

Pretty much

[dapper gyro]

With enough money, you can do anything.

[quasi temple]

Im a little impressed. And, not defending his wealth, but us poor people can't afford the time or practice for a stunt like that.

[crystal forum]

i'm as impressed as somebody who climbs mount everest

[humble shoal]

Also had a bunch of velocity reducing stuff

So fall was way slower

[dapper gyro]

However, you need to be smart, otherwise you end up like that submarine trying to do the Titanic tourism.

[humble shoal]

Than felix

[crystal forum]

like ok you risked death but also it wouldn't be worth doing to you if everybody had a chance

[quasi temple]

Ah, that dampens the excitement

[dapper gyro]

The thrill of speed is part of the game.

[quasi temple]

On the next episode of Hunger Games...

[heady rivet]

Translation: All the experts told me not to do this

[quasi temple]

And yet your mom always asks me to slow down

[heady rivet]

Shoutout to those hours of air tracking tweets

[crystal forum]

[dapper gyro]

That was uncalled for.

[daring creek]

My favorite corporation

[quasi temple]

Im just being dumb. I dont mean any harm

Im sorry

[crystal forum]

BRICS is such a hilarious concept

all those countries hate eachother

[rose thorn]

I saw “”””people”””” commenting on the post about gw being against ai that were like “well maybe they will change their mind once they start losing money” and “genie is already out of the bottle” and saw one guy who was like “I’m okay with this as long as they no longer do retcons”

[heady rivet]

Remember when Russia tried to start its own defense pact and the one (1) time their allies asked for help Russia said no and the US swooped in and negotiated a peace deal for them

[crystal forum]

the warsaw pact?

[heady rivet]

CSTO

[quasi temple]

Why is the number in parens?

[daring creek]

Getting my teeth cleaned

[heady rivet]

Clarification that it was one (1) time

[quasi temple]

...the number eas in parens because you're at the dentist?

[heady rivet]

Thats not me gramps

[quasi temple]

I know.

[crystal forum]

why is south africa in BRICS anyways

[heady rivet]

I'm the one with toesies

[crystal forum]

does it think it's too cool to be in the commonwealth

[quasi temple]

Just musing on the timing of their comment

[heady rivet]

Because the ANC ran the country into the dirt

[crystal forum]

granted the commonwealth is just a vague concept that doesnt really mean anything

but still just having south africa next to china, russia and india is funny

[heady rivet]

And turns out blaming 100% of the issues on a system that collapsed 30 years ago while you have been in power basically the whole time since then isnt a valid excuse for why you managed to go backwards

[languid meadow]

corrupt nations... strong together

[dapper gyro]

It is not corruption if we are part of it.

[languid meadow]

BRICS is just hilarious to me

[jade holly]

Any new information today or do I gotta wait for the 16th?

[heady rivet]

Shoutout to that BRICS waifu post that destroys every serious discussion

[languid meadow]

4 of the members all hate each other

[crystal forum]

having india and china agree to be part of anything is wild

[dapper gyro]

Send

[crystal forum]

[languid meadow]

China is literally sucking Russia dry from the war

[crystal forum]

[heady rivet]

I knew someone couldnt resist

[heady rivet]

China once stated that Russia would be completely irrelevant to the world without nukes

[dapper gyro]

I want to see if you dare.

And you chicken out.

[heady rivet]

You got google

[dapper gyro]

I got you.

[daring creek]

Can someone tell me why every fucking clinic, DJ or motherfucking restaurant plays the same music from 2014

[daring creek]

[quasi temple]

If you grew up then wouldn't you want your music playing?

[rocky gale]

That's when the timeline ended

[crystal forum]

because pop music stopped evolving

[daring creek]

There needs to be a limit

What if I want

Good music?

[crystal forum]

listen to your own

[jade holly]

Because music after that sucks

[quasi temple]

Also the idea that such music will be familiar, enjoyable, family friendly

[jade holly]

[daring creek]

Sets you on fire

[dapper gyro]

Make your own music, Missus.

[crystal forum]

freak

[jade holly]

Music peaked in the 80’s with rock and metal
