"When everyone is poor, nobody will be", I say smugly as I stand in a puddle of my own shit.

Interest free credit card debt? How did you manage that trick?

It just seems to me like they're taking a lot of measures to not put themselves in harm's way and when they do go in, it's locked away inside a tank.

Its been a penny-wise, pound-foolish approach, if the Chapos on Ep 805 are to be believed. Lots of the Hamas videos leaking out around the Gaza conflict suggest that turtling in your tanks leaves you surprisingly vulnerable to folks who can pop up from sewer grates or out from around buildings without warning.

I do think their sheer cowardice works to keep casualties relatively low.

I think the ability to do aerial bombardments in the style of America demolishing North Korea during the 50s is effective in driving the entire population southward. But it doesn't appear they've got a solution that goes beyond obliterating the region with artillery. Given how sloppy some of these operations have been, how young some of the officers are, and how uncoordinated the advances, I've got to assume they're suffering friendly fire at least to the degree the US suffered during Afghanistan and Iraq.

Excited to get the new Helldivers "Not In Any Way Political" patch, including

  • The Ukrainian Flag, just straight up in there, with strong implications that if you're not displaying it you want to kiss Vladimir Putin on the lips with tongue
  • Ever piece of WW2 Memorabilia You Could Imagine
  • An icon that looks like a guy getting shoved out of a helicopter
  • Robert A. Heinlein's Smug Face

Not sure what's more stereotypical:

  • TERFs screaming for the cops the moment they see a trans person do something

  • A transgender person doing cutting edge computer science research on reflex

  • A Microsoft application being mistaken for a virus

Friendly reminder that "Godzilla Minus One" was filmed for $15M and is arguably the best iteration of the franchise in the series.

One might describe these Labour candidates as Human Shields, being held up by the villainous Muslim-loving Hamas constituents to absorb the fire of the truth-telling free press.

There's this tacit belief among white liberals that a brief period in the 80s/90s when universities experimented with affirmative action was the but-for cause that denied all of them access to the Ivy League -> Dream Job -> International Celebrity status.

Elizabeth Warren is their spirit animal because she beat the system by lying on her application, something they all desperately wanted to do but were to craven to attempt themselves.
