We’re going to keep installing clippies until you get the point :bill-gates:

“[…] suffered a serious back injury following a fall”

he’s still alive

Yeah, more or less proven with Reagan, Trump, and Biden all having dementia while in office.

Even if Putin were solely responsible for Trump winning (he isn’t, far right domestic media like Fox News had and has far more of an effect, remember that Cambridge Analytica was British, and Trump would likely still be a political nobody if the Democrats hadn’t boosted him as part of their “Pied Piper” strategy) it must be noted that this would essentially be Russia doing to the US what the US did to Russia when it supported Yeltsin’s coup. Imo if a country flagrantly subverts the democracies of other countries all the time, that same country can’t really complain when other countries do the same to it.

Umm, uhhh, Terra isn’t a recruiting world for any chapters so it doesn’t count

100% in general, famously the leman russ tank has a comically small amount of armor. But when it comes to space marines specifically, imo part of the point is that the symbol of the Imperium’s strength is spread too thin and is completely lacking, which is part of why the Imperium has been in a constant spiraling decline for over ten thousand years. I’ll admit this take makes a bit less sense since they started advancing the timeline.

Imperial population is likely several trillion at the low end

Space Marine population is nominally one million, in reality probably far less

Not that chuds have ever been good at math.

The Emperor could have probably had him onside forever if he’d just teleported down and killed the slavers but no he was too busy arguing with Malcador that there should be no girlz allowed in the army because they have cooties.

Nah, Nurgle is all about stagnation. Vote Tzeentch for CHANGE 2028 and we will bring in immaterial communism!

I do however support Nurglings.

Luckily, someone’s already made just that! The starter set even comes with paper templates to cut out for paper standees. (I guess it’s only arguably open source but they have a custom tool that you can use to make your own armies so that’s good enough for me)

IIRC yes, though it wasn’t fillibuster-proof, but then again I don’t think this one is either?

Thank you for the effortpost! Lots of good citations and a pretty ironclad argument that, whatever you think of the recent events on the site, the name of the dunk tank had to go.

The federal government must step in to protect the clear national interest by putting an end to the frequent disruptions and mandating the parties to resolve their differences through binding arbitration when deadlocked. While this did happen with CPKC less than 24 hours after the labour disruption, there had been no certainty of that.

Yeah I gotta solution to the “labour instability”: it’s called we kill one C-suite executive per day until you give us what we want.

Praise be unto the plaguefather.

This was published in 2002?!?! It sounds like it was written in the fucking 70s, holy shit.

Played some pirated Space Marine 2, I hate that there are 8 kinds of boltgun, all of which are useless. Tyranids are a boring enemy that completely lack any personality. The selection of what is and isn’t a major boss is very strange. Zoanthropes? Normal enemy. Neurothropes, aka a very slightly better Zoanthrope? Boss with a giant health bar. The health and armor systems also just feel worse than SM1; I’m basically always at like 10% HP and have to hide around corners to recharge my armor because you can’t easily get executions on swarms of gaunts.

A large number of warhammer “fans” (it would not be unreasonable to guess that this group is even a slight majority) do not engage with the hobby in any physical way, and instead just do things like watch lore videos, play the video games, and repeat memes. I would argue that most of the chuds who get really pissed off about the idea of female space marines or start larping as imperials fall into this group. This group has become larger over time as GW’s prices continuously rise (driving people away from the physical game), the setting became more mainstream (largely through video games and fanworks), and especially when it became possible to play the tabletop game entirely on a computer in the “game” Tabletop Simulator (~$10 for a copy on Steam to play as any faction you want vs ~$500-1000 and dozens of hours to play one army).

There are also a decent number of people who do play the physical tabletop game that purchase and build models, but do not paint them. Historically, tournaments enforced a rule that models must have at least 3 colors on them, and in the newest edition of 40k there are explicitly 10 bonus points that each player receives at the end of the game if their army is painted to a similar standard. I can say that in my friend group, there is one person who painted a few models, decided he didn’t like painting, and now just has the rest as plain gray plastic.

Crossbow, I support levelling of the playing field between a normal person and a rich sicko who has been able to spend their entire life training and can afford armor through their exploitation of the peasants. Also, I do not respect Pope Innocent II and his banning of crossbows was a skill issue.

Do we think Vance is stupid enough to not understand that NATO primarily benefits the US? If “Europe” is cut off from the US, they’re going to make deals with China and (to a lesser extent) Russia. Trump obviously doesn’t understand shit, but Vance is the puppet of Peter Thiel, who you’d think would know better.
