  • Bit aside, what actually is that thing?

  • With the advent of cheap Chinese high quality cardstock printers, anyone can have a proper Vintage cube for like $150.

  • You're presented with a major failing of government like this and then given two options: One party that expresses anti-government sentiment, and another party that currently presides over the agencies that failed and tells you that everything is fine and to not believe your lying eyes when you ask what they're going to do about the six feet of water in your basement.

    Which way do you think people are going to go, and at what point does it no longer matter that the first option is defunding agencies that don't accomplish anything? The Democrats cannot blame Republicans for voting against their own best interests when they can't offer a worthwhile material alternative.

  • If you're one of the nerds who bother to dive into the quasi-ARG metaplot, it does drive home the point that God is the bad guy and that Lucifer literally did nothing wrong in this universe.

  • I mean, a brutal dictator overseeing a terminally self-destructive empire full of football-brained Romeaboos with a brain tumor slowly eating away the bit of his mind capable of doing so competently is a pretty appropriate metaphor for Biden. No such similar metaphor for the empire-rejecting anarchist doctor daddy unfortunately.

  • Evergreen as usual:

  • It eats the other sea leviathans, so it's good to let it skitter around untroubled.

  • President Biden and I do not want to see conflict in the Middle East escalate into a broader regional war. We have been working on a diplomatic solution along the Israel-Lebanon border so that people can safely return home on both sides of that border. Diplomacy remains the best path forward to protect civilians and achieve lasting stability in the region.

    ...and that is why we've handed billions upon billions of dollars worth of military equipment to the side actively committing a genocide, and why I'm putting out a statement condoning the political assassination of one of the people who we would theoretically be working with to create peace in the first place.

    Death, and I cannot emphasize this enough, to America.

  • Gotta love how every Ayn Randian objectivist propaganda piece requires multiple varieties of literal magic to make any sense, and even then is so obviously just wankfuel for them that you feel the need to shower just from reading the plot summary.

  • Dentist: "Hey, you grind your teeth in your sleep. If you keep doing that, we'll have to root canal half your mouth."

    Me: "Well, that sounds shit. What can I do about it?"

    Dentist: "We can 3D-print you a mouthguard to wear at night. All it takes is scanning your top row of teeth and then producing it, which we can do in-house."

    Me: "Sweet. How much?"

    Dentist: "Well, you're insured, so that comes out to... $1,000."

    Me, fucking around and about to find out: "But I have insurance? This is preventative and the alternative is literally tens of thousands of dollars in expensive, painful surgery. Surely they must cover it."

    Dentist, laughing hard enough to have an aneurysm that their insurance won't cover: "lol. lmao, even"

    is the only summary of what I'd do to insurance executives if ever given even a modicum of political power.

  • Of all the shit to charge Adams with, of course it's bribery by scary foreigners instead of any of the significantly worse shit he's done as mayor.

  • The books do mention her having a bodysuit that she wears underneath power armor before, so it's probably supposed to be that. No excuse for the gratuitous cleavage beyond she wants to look sexy while shooting things angle though.

  • It's very old art at this point, but I think it's generally still considered canon.

  • Cain has impeccable taste on top of absurd imposter syndrome.

  • That's a big thing in the Horus Heresy series. There's definitely a dude underneath it all, but he's so massively psychically powerful that he's got a permanent glamour effect that adjusts to each viewer's conceptions. The Mechanicum sees him as a scientist, the primarchs largely see him as a massive warrior, etc.

  • improbable female authority figure

    female authority figure is Cadian

    Cadia is (yes, Cadia still stands. fite me chaos nerds) a world where every human with a pulse and an age above 5 is handed a rifle and sent to boot camp because LITERAL HELL IS RIGHT THERE, JUST LOOK UP AT THE DAEMONS COMING TO GET YOU

    Bruh.

    Ultramarines are improbably diverse

    Ultramar is literally Space Rome, a massive cosmopolitan space empire consisting of 500 worlds and trillions of people

    I'm going to find this person and beat them with my worn-out copy of Know No Fear until they stop whining about the existence of women and black people long enough to have at least a cursory knowledge of the lore they're butchering.

  • "Doom spending," the new media term from the same people who harp on why it's important that inflation be constant lest people not spend all their money all the time to keep the economy afloat

  • I feel like the systemic response to BLM completely negates your assertion. If mass riots don't get even token police reform as a result, then it's pretty clear that our leaders don't give a shit about anything short of someone putting a gun to their head.
