Always has been.

Empowerment and ownership are the new pride and accomplishment.

What an interesting way to formulate your question. It’s literally flame baiting.

Definitely this. OP should try to position the shoehorn alongside his leg. If you use it in a wider angle over and over, not only makes it the process harder and more uncomfortable, it also bends the metal after some time.

Ooooor, OPs feet are a freaky affront to nature.

War after sending troops to die in Ukraine and after selling their barely working ammunition to Russia. Yeah dude, sure. Whatever.

You are telling me they institutionalised this shit and they still wonder why everyone runs away the moment they see a chance to do so?

The very fact, that the Russian military is run in a less disciplined way than some criminal organisations in other countries, is very very funny to me.

I am flabbergasted that Russia has training grounds. This is not a joke. I thought they just put you in a green overall, give you a 60 year old gun in one hand and a bottle of vodka in the other. And that’s it. Off you go!

The teleportation of the enemy to hell

That’s one hell of a way to say it.

Can I get into trouble for calling myself an “investigative journalist”? Like, can I stand in front of the camera and say the dumbest, factually most incorrect shit, like these vatnik bitches and still call myself that, even I didn’t learn that job somewhere? Is there any kind of legal trouble I have to expect as long as I don’t go full Alex Jones?

Causing a couple of circuits to burn out. Kickstarting the Flayed Ones.

I am adapting this as headcanon now.

They have been engineered by the Old Ones. So I’m just gonna assume, they didn’t think of that when the Necron and C’tan came knocking on their doors.

Pyongyang, after decades of UN-led sanctions targeting its ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programmes, is attempting to strengthen its ties with Russia and China as part of an alliance against “western hegemony and imperialism”.

The three stooges right there.

Hey look, a report we can agree on.

It’s quiet today at work. So I tuned in. Holy moly some of these tornadoes look unpleasant.

This is what happens when we do what CEOs want. We will make the world uninhabitable while getting murked by skynet.

We are officially in a prelude to a sci-fi story.

There was that one time the translator fucked up royally and I lost my shit in The Devastation of Baal by Guy Haley.

To understand we have to look at the pronoun „you“ and it’s German equivalents “Ihr“ and “du“. English doesn’t differentiate between a formal and an informal “you”. It’s just “you”. So you can use “you” in both ways and the reader gets the meaning and tone from context.

For example: “My lord, you have to act!” Gives you everything you need and you know from context how the power dynamics between the characters are.

The German equivalent for that sentence would be: „Mein Herr, Ihr müsst handeln!“ To be fair, you can confuse the possessive pronoun “Ihr” with the regular plural pronoun “ihr”. Both of which are completely different. That’s German for you.

But our translator used the common “du”. The sentence “Mein Herr, du musst handeln!” Not only makes my ears bleed, it also makes no sense in universe. You cannot stand before one of the most well known and revered ANGELS OF MOTHFUCKERING DEATH and say “du”! You uncivilised donkey!

Traveling to Taiwan to cry about them not being slaves. Someone is going for the social credit combo multiplier.

During the Cold War soviets experimented with dropping soldiers from helicopters into snow. Without a rope or parachute. Just jump and pray. Went as smooth as you imagine. There is also that legend which almost certainly happened, but there aren’t any records of it. In one occasion during WW2 Russian paratroopers have been deployed from a plane from low altitude without parachutes. Again on snow. And only a third of them died.

Now, this has been denied by the soviets. But if we look at what else the Kremlin has said over the last century, we can safely assume that it absolutely happened.

Which is only the second weirdest thing I saw soviet paratroopers doing.

I don’t like how hard this hits home.
