Hey! Don’t knock over the strongman! He’s brittle

There is a simple test to determine if you’re a tankie, specifically.

1. Did Tiananmen Square happen? Specifically, was it bloody, consented/orchestrated by the CCP leadership, and resulted in the deaths of unarmed civilian protesters?

2. Was it wrong that it happened?

If both answers are yes, you’re not a tankie. You believe that oppressive regimes are evil regardless of which side of the political spectrum it spawns from.

Bonus points if you think Stalin was anything but benevolent. If you think his methods were “tough, but firm,” then you’re a tankie.

I fucking hate lemmy users sometimes dude…

That sounds sketch asf. Just dump the save file with a flasher. That RAM chip is writeable from the cart pins or it wouldn’t work as save data. Cheap flashers come in at ~$25. Dump, solder, reupload.

I get those are ears, but I’m reading that as “Sigma Kitty” and that’s 1000x funnier to me.

If it’s not D20 Star Wars RPG, we riot.

The support Djin told me the enchantment is written on Read-Only-Magic runes. We can’t patch it in, and no one knows the rumplestiltskin recovery key, so we can’t disable the indestructability enchantment either to disintegrate it. Honestly, it’ll take a hard reboot of the material plane, but Xanathar is online right now and I’m told it’s pretty important stuff, and he has the reboot button anyway so take it up with him.

“Isn’t that just terrific! Oh!”

I think he likes seeing the funny red number on his profile go up. They think red is the people’s color or something.

I bought a plain old casio watch. World-Time Illuminator. Ain’t no way these cloud-connected devices are going to tell me what time it is.

The mission was overwatch and target identification. That much was obvious. The last 50min of the film was their plans not surviving contact with the enemy. Chaos, death, and clusterfuck are what separates war from every other human pasttime.

Edit: Excellent movie though. 10/10

Scare them like we scared the last power-mad authoritarians. Publically and painfully parade the suffering of the oppressor, condemn them to death, and then pointedly scan the crowd for any more that want to express their undying loyalty to the fuher.

Worked for 80yrs last time. Bet if we record a few select billionaires getting drawn and quartered by their own delivery vans and electric vehicles might push it to a century.
