In addition to this, the US does all of Europe’s dirt elsewhere in the world. For example, oil gets stolen from Syria and sent to Europe. This means European capitalists don’t have to compete with American capitalists, who source their oil from Canada and Latin America. They agree to divvy up resources so Europe and the US don’t come into conflict later.

The war in Ukraine is an example of the opposite happening. NATO capitalists are in conflict with capitalists in former Soviet nations. They both want to extract resources from Ukraine, but NATO capitalists want Russian capitalists to be subservient.

As said above, the Marshall Plan made Europe militarily dependent on the US. In exchange, the US does the actual armed conflict. Europe gets to benefit from imperialism, yet sits below American capital.

What a bunch of assholes not helping the last one up!

mfw they’re all out of dort

Only one joker to go on Balatro to get every joker on Gold Stake. Then two challenges to complete every achievement.

Been playing 9 Kings. The devs have been listening to a lot of feedback and making updates. The latest change to skill trees has been kinda “meh” compared to the old system. There’s also a lot of units that could use rebalancing. Some are auto-picks, others are a waste of space.

Next week I’m going to the game club to show people how to paint and convert models. Not sure what projects of my own I want to bring. I’ve been stripping the paint off a bunch of stuff (mostly Mage Knight models and some unlucky person’s 40k stuff they left in the lost and found for like 6 months years ago when I was in uni).

How long is the rest of the obstacle course? Edging for 5 minutes after you’ve been edging for an hour is different than edging 5 minutes after you’ve been edging for 4 minutes.

I take it the fence is to keep people out, rather than keep the bear in?

I like how there’s emphasis on English being a requirement, but no other languages.

“Wow the inmates did a really funny prank! We had no idea what they were planning because we’re American and in America, we speak American!”

No benefits

Be a real shame if something were to happen to these guards that gave them lifelong complications.

We knew about Trump’s relationship to Epstein before he ran for president even back in 2016. Not only are there a bunch if photos and videos of him partying with Epstein, he paid a settlement to a 13 year-old Jane Doe who he and Epstein assaulted together.

It had zero effect on his campaign(s). If anything, they were boosted by it because chuds love reveling in their hypocrisy. Republicans who care about Trump’s actions already jumped ship years ago.

There are people still alive who grew up in residential schools. There are even people alive who knew survivors of the Trail of Tears. The genocide of Native Americans really wasn’t that long ago and (like you said) still ongoing.

Obama forced an oil pipeline through indigenous land in what? 2014?

I thought that’s what they all called Fern’s spells? Like she’s just using “Magic Missile” and “Shield,” stuff that’s been around decades before she was born. Other mages are using newer spells, some of them personal inventions.

This of course is why Fern is such a powerful mage. Quantity is a quality of its own. She can spam spells faster than other people. It’s like she has a deck of 20x Lightning Bolts, 20x Ancestral Recalls, and 20x moxen while everyone else is using the most convoluted combo jank you’ve ever seen.

These are always so stupid because you can just point to Hollywood, which chuds are constantly seething over as being too liberal. Taylor Swift was their darling until she vaguely hinted at not liking Trump. Hell, a lot of Fox News staff are there because they couldn’t make it in any other kind of showbiz (like Ben Shapiro).

You can fill up both sides of that chart pretty easily because surprise surprise, attractive people exist all over the political spectrum and we shouldn’t use that as a litmus for intelligence.

Yeah there’s a lot of ageism. Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, for example, would both be missing from this chart if they were still in their 20s or 30s.

Berserk is non-stop nightmare fuel and that’s why so many sickos enjoy it (it’s me. I’m the sicko).

Of course not, you silly goose! It hasn’t undergone metamorphosis into an adult owl. Shit, it hasn’t even built its chrysalis yet.

$1.50 is a good deal on wash rags tbh. Could use them in the garage for cleaning up chemicals.

She’s also homophobic/transphobic, even though she doesn’t think she is!

God I fucking hate liberals. Had to listen to my mom and her friend go off about Caitlyn Jenner. “I don’t care if he want to be a woman or is gay or whatever. I just don’t think he should be playing women’s sports. To me, he’s always going to be Bruce Jenner.”

If you don’t care, then why are you dead naming and misgendering her, while saying trans women can’t compete in women’s sports? I spoke up about how trans people have been allowed in the Olympics for years, yet the number of them who have won medals is tiny (I think 2 bronze metals in 30 years or some shit?). So either they deliberately lose because it “gives real women a chance!” or they win and it’s “they had an unfair advantage!” There will be an excuse to unfairly penalize them, on top of all the usual bullshit.

So it’s not just petite-bourgeois asshats. It’s reactionary white people and people who settled on their worldview at 23 and have kept it the same for 40+ years because God forbid they read a fucking book that’s non-fiction.

I think the last time I wrote a check was when I was a teenager lmao. Uni was still on an old system and I had to write a check for tuition when I was 19.

Tamiya has a lot of kits in a variety of scales that are meant to be accurate display pieces. They often feature etched and die-cast metal for sharper details. Unfortunately, they’ve discontinued a lot of their Soviet stuff. I’m not sure if they’re doing redesigns or pulled them altogether. You’ll still find T-34 variants, though.

Rubicon Models does high quality 1/56 scale Soviet tanks (and trucks!). They pretty frequently have sales where kits drop down to like $15~$20 from $35. I have an ISU from them, but I haven’t put it together yet.

Warlord has decent models, but they’re often missing specific details of other manufacturers. The upside was being decently priced until rather recently. I have this KV-1/KV-2 I did:

“If it’s so easy, then why haven’t you done it? It’s free money.”

They can never answer this question.
