Even when i agree with him i cant read his horseshit posts. And even when it is something good he still only wants it for his own shitass personal benefit. Fuck him and all his voters. I would endure another fifty years of daylight savings to avoid another day of his presidency.

Playing Trails From Zero with Trails to azure in the lineup. Ive been trying to get all of the first ten trails games for a full playthrough of the arcs.

Unlikely, I’m shit at makeup.

Maybe it was a joke, maybe it was just that they saw something in me that i couldn’t quite see in myself yet.

Yes, but this kind of shit-tier boomer humor encapsulates the relationship solely in the context of a nagging burden. There is no nuance, and further it harks back to an earlier form of popular humor where the nagging wife was hilariously silenced through violence.

It’s okay everyone, they’ve been reassigned.

That is minimum 4 years down the line assumming that a democrat gets elected. And assuming that healthcare execs, pharmaceutical reps, and insurance ceos dont torpedo it into an ACA but worse situation. My guess is that its not going to force shit because republicans will fighr it tooth and nail, and democrats even wth a supermajority will water it down to nothing. Real government managed healthcare wil require a dismantling of the two party system.

Thats because rowling was writing a story about maintaining the status quo. Its interesting just how much she wrote overtly class conscious inequality, like wizards being an isolated superior class who can act with impunity on muggles, but then hand waves it as appropriate and good because the alternative is “bad”.

This article is disingenuous to say the least. Kirk’s death was met with bipartisan celebration, not horror. The left of course because he was a fascist who died in the most ironical manner possible. On the right cause they now had a martyr. The only people horrified were those who bought into his performance of debate.

The borser districts are traditionally democratic. They flipped because the republican rhetoric around an invasion is real to them, they get migrants through there all the time. And nationally minded democrats come trhough trying to get elected on gun control and amnesty. It was a bad mix. But now the leopards are eating their faces on several factors. The most the republicans are hoping for is depressed turn out, and outright suppression.

I think the real problem with this is what we’re seeing with software distribution in general. They say, “yes you’re buying a license to the software.” Which in general we have accepted. But at the same time companies get to change the terms of the license at will. And the license is worthless after just a few years as the software becomes defunct.

This is even more pronounced in videogames as once they’re past a certin time if they arent part of a popular catague they just disappear. At least with old games abandonware can be found because the game data is still on old media. In this new ecosystem the publisher can now delete that data off your device whenever they decide that game is abandoned. This includes if the owner of the game hasnt played it in too long. And if you get nostalgic for a classic, “buy it again as part of our subscription service.”

Like half of them are fully self aware nazis. The other half are so lost in their bubble that they’re completely divorced from the idea that everything they believe is pure fascism. Like present them with a picture of auschwitz and theyll say “thats evil!” But show them an ICE prison and theyre all, “Wooo alligator alcatraz, baby! Do they have merch?”

Well considering his war briefings consisted of videos of explosions and ass-kissing praise i never thought he was getting an accurate picture of the situation.

There’s plenty of girls that bonded with an obscure ps2 game in their youth. Xenosaga was the shit.

Vote early if you can. Theres gonna be some fuckery in this election, but the more people voting makes the fuckery more obvious.

Edit:spelling

Trump sycophants. Hegseth doesnt know what it really means to fight a war, and wont listen to generals that do. His warrior ethos bullshit is running into the reality of logistics. He literally told a carrier group to stay in theater over their deployment without resupply or relief.

Its so stupid I honestly think iran is goading trump into attempting a land invasion.

I

Surely THIS will get republicans to respect them.

There’s also been conspiracy theorizing that the color choices for gwen in spider-verse suggest she transitioned. I forget where i saw it though.

So a lot of people are saying supply chain or logistics without really explaining well. So I’ll give it a try.

It is impossible to overstate how important supply lines are to fighting a war. Each branch of the military has a whole arm of their organization dedicated to getting supplies to where they are needed. In any given war this means setting up regular purchases of supplies, bases to aggregate those supplies, routes with bases for each leg of the journey of those supplies, and bases at the destination of those supplies. With dedicated protection for all those parts of the journey. Which still has to get from the in-theater supply hub to the front.

Ideally for a carrier group you would use massive supply ships in a daisy chain to maintain a continuous flow of supplies. The supply hub isnt supposed to be close enough to come under enemy fire, and helicopters are relatively short range and not suitable for this purpose.

So the problem is that iran has shown that with drones it can hit big slow ships in the gulf, and regionally can hit anywhere with balistic missiles and drones. So they damaged or destroyed most us regional bases, hitting the main supply hub.

What to do about that? Well they could set up another regional hub, but that would probably get hit too. They can use a base far enough away to not get hit, but that means relying on more big slow ships to maintain the steady flow, but they would need protection, except ts hard to say what protection can be given against suicide drones.

This is would be a huge headache or any career general with a lifetime of experience. What they have is a drunk tv personality who surrounds himself with sycophants, and who’s taking orders from a geriatric child with dementia.

Add to this the longevity of the deployment. Most world militaries are very timid at exerting their big expensive assets at full strength unless its an actual war because that wears them out really fast. America is the only country that does this regularly. In other words, the deployment time for a carrier group is pretty well set in stone with some wiggle room. They know how long they can keep it up at full activity.

It’s not even a matter of supplies, its a giant steel city floating on salt water firing jets into the sky shooting down potential threats when it cant evade them. This is a structure under stress that can’t be fixed with a few nuts and bolts. There are parts that can only be overhauled at a port that have probably run long overdue.

The personnel problem is oddly the smallest. They could rotate people easily on the supply ships, if the whole shitshow werent run by such huge assholes.
