yea, seeing online internet leftists on an english speaking forum saying things like 'religion is cancer' while Islam is uniting anti-genocide and anti-imperialist struggles against israel is... A Vibe, i guess.

i call myself a marxist and a communist because i agree with marx's analysis and critique of capitalism, and other marxist and adjacent theorists critiques of imperialism and advocacy for democratic centralism. i largely agree with historical materialism as a means of analysis, but i'm just not sold on strict ontological or epistemological materialism, in the sense of eliminativist physicalist realism. i have yet to be convinced out of epistemological nihilism and metaphysical/ontological agnosticism. obviously any specific beliefs like astrology or solipsistic idealism without any empirical evidence or epistemological basis are probably BS, but it would be foolish to assume we know basically everything about reality imo.

i'm definitely not neurotypical and have had some wild experiences that lead me to ontological inquiry, the insinuation that 'lmao only normies do that not me i'm so much better and above it all' is pretty toxic imo

you waited until age 10?! you might as well send them off to be a pacifist monk!

hilarious and elusive and mesmerizing, like a clown cryptid wizard

it eats your tongue and latches onto the stump to replace it, taking a bit of all the food you eat from then on

Robert Anton WIlson has some interesting takes in that regard, but also some cringe takes. i liked him more in my anarchist days, i would disagree more with some of his politics now that i'm more of a democratic centralist type communist.

same but for those pet food ads that use recordings of actual pets eating food. i hate ASMR style content so much, everytime these commercials with their animal eating noises come on i freak out.

even if the many-worlds hypothesis was correct, there's currently no reason to believe that your consciousness in this universe would be contiguous with your consciousness in any other 'adjacent' universes. quantum immortality is about as convincing as pascal's wager lol. get better at epistemological nihilism tech-ghouls your unhinged assumptions are hilariously obvious.

nurgle plague cult type behavior

China was inventing paper, printing press, gunpowder, public exam system for government officials, straps that go across horse's chest instead of their neck so you can attach a plow without choking them (europe would literally never figure this out until cars were invented), systematized formal philosophy, etc. while Europe was fucking sheep and living in mud and grass huts and dumping their shit into the street and ransacking more civilized people like the romans and ottomans. europeans are so warlike and barbaric they could not even stop from pillaging and enslaving each other in viking raids. Europe was a primitive literally shit covered backwater until the industrial revolution made textile production less lucrative for the ottomans. the first european king charlemagne was an illiterate warlord who could not even spell his own name. europeans literally did not believe in washing their hands, that was 'moorish heathenry' not for christians. european royalty would use dogs to lick their hands after meals, peasants would simply go filthy. europeans would wear flowers to cover the smell of shit and sweat and piss. europeans thought of chastity as a virtue, and in some communities in europe it was considered improper for a woman to ever bathe, to preserve her 'chastity' and ensure she was never sexually attractive to men. european vikings would wash their face and blow their nose in the morning, in/into a single tub of water, passed around one after the other, in order of seniority, without changing the water, much to the chagrin of Islamic travellers chronicling their disgusting hygiene. europeans did not have divorce, in many cases of legal marital dispute the man and woman were forced into marital duels with both stitched into leather suits (bearing a cross so you know its holy) and the man waist-deep in a pit with a club, the woman free to move and armed with a stone wrapped in her wedding veil (see below).

this family member is nothing short of an ignorant racist fool, a history channel watcher who, via dunning-kruger, thinks they are well informed and educated on history.

is it the same for ground drones? i want a rideable (driveable?) robo-dog SO BADLY

theres basically no wrong way to do it, what worked for me personally for my goals was using the Corpse Pose from yoga on a hardwood floor. it can take a few minutes to 'finalize' your position, make sure you are truly comfortable enough to remain motionless. then i would focus on simply perceiving my surroundings, all of the sensory input coming into my mind, constructing a kind of mental map of the surrounding world. i've done it with eyes open and closed, with eyes open i get a kind of pulsating television static overlay on my vision and a weird mental state good for existential pondering, with eyes closed i can let my eyes do what they want as they for some reason tend to kind of 'roll back into my head' (point upwards to the edge of my eye socket and kind of twitch), which for me can produce either generic pulsating blob phsophene-like visuals, or in rare cases detailed pseudo-hallucinatory experiences (visuals in the 'minds eye', not in actual sight)

Russia: uses (a single group of) nazi mercenaries as cannon fodder during the most brutal urban warfare of the conflict, many die, gov. hesitates to resupply, and the nazi merc leader 'mysteriously' explodes on a plane

libs: RUZZIAN ORCS = NAZIS (except the real nazis were Good Actually for exterminating the RUZZIAN ORC UNTERMENSCHEN)

Ukraine: integrates numerous and diverse nazi militias/terrorist groups into military, uses nazi militias as blocking units to prevent conscripts from retreating, nazi political parties have at least 15% of parliament, nazi militia leadership ignores ceasefires with no gov. repurcussion, nazi fighters reserved for less dangerous areas while conscripts sent to the meatgrinder

libs: nazis in ukraine is RUZZIAN DISINFORMATSKIYA, smol bean ukraine is just joking lol i promise! its ironic! and even if they aren't they are still better than teh RUZZIAN ORC UNTERMENSCHEN WHO WE MUST EXTERMINATE!

i thought the title was literally talking about large drones and i got excited at the prospect of attaching one to myself like an autonomous techno-parachute and flying around or riding inside of one like a helicopter.

i would imagine its 5.56, which is .223, which is still quite small for anything like a heavy machinegun which is the closest role something like this would fit. airplanes (like the AC-10 warthog for example) often have 30mm rotary cannons mounted in the fuselage, the 30mm shells fired from the full sized cannon at high rates of fire can take out tanks. in fact this drone gun looks even smaller than the M134 'minigun' you see mounted on the sides of helicopters for 'door gunners' or in the movie Predator, which uses 7.62x51mm NATO ammo, full sized bullets closer to a hunting rifle bullet than an assault rifle's intermediate cartridge. 7.62 is often used by western armies for HMGs and other larger-than-an-assault-rifle weapons like snipers, DMRs, etc. Even in the movie Predator, with a minigun modified to be carried, the actor could not carry the battery the gun requires to operate (which was wired up his pants leg) and even with an artificially reduced rate of fire (from 6,000 RPM to 1,250 RPM) the enormous backpack could only hold 4-5 seconds of ammunition supply.

maybe its something like the XM214 Microgun? which requires a team of 2 to carry and operate like a heavy machine gun (usually mounted on a tripod or vehicle)

and yea the recoil would almost certainly tip this go-kart over, especially with the gun mounted that high up. maybe if it had like ground spikes to stabilize itself it wouldn't?

OMFG i am going to shit myself laughing at that 'minigun drone', not only is there absolutely ZERO ammo supply on that drone, i don't even think is has the car-battery sized battery that spins the barrels! Neither would likely fit on a drone that small anyway! do you know how fast those things shoot? you would need like an oil drum sized ammo container to shoot for more than like .5 seconds even with the relatively small 5.56 bullets this thing probably uses! i doubt this thing could carry even 1 or 2 standard ammo cans let alone a huge ammo belt drum! I am in absolute awe at the level of baldfaced grifting these defence companies can get away with LMFAO

'if they were women you wouldn't be able to tell underneath the power armor and implanted muscle fiber bundles' is my preferred headcannon (seriously though we don't even get women imperial guard models wtf GW)

frankly as some of the books would have it playing a space marine should be more like playing superhot than god of war, they are allegedly fast enough to dodge bullets in some stories. gimme slow motion high mobility aimhack space marine gameplay, not a bog standard hacknslash with rudimentary shooting tacked on.
