  • There is a local game & comic store that hosts card games & crap that I’ve been trying to get involved with, but any time I go there people just are not willing to engage with me

    Nerds have that problem. They're so used to people being dicks to them that they think this is the normal mode of human interaction. Thus it's really hard to get in with them, because they take any opportunity to turn the table and be the one doing the ostracizing for once.






  • It's standard game theory: i.e. if you've got more pieces, trade material until you win.

    Each commander, Red Army soldier and political commissar should understand that our means are not limitless. The territory of the Soviet state is not a desert, but people - workers, peasants, intelligentsia, our fathers, mothers, wives, brothers, children. The territory of the USSR which the enemy has captured and aims to capture is bread and other products for the army, metal and fuel for industry, factories, plants supplying the army with arms and ammunition, railroads.

    Therefore it is necessary to eliminate talk that we have the capability endlessly to retreat, that we have a lot of territory, that our country is great and rich, that there is a large population, and that bread always will be abundant. Such talk is false and parasitic, it weakens us and benefits the enemy, if we do not stop retreating we will be without bread, without fuel, without metal, without raw material, without factories and plants, without railroads.

    This leads to the conclusion, it is time to finish retreating.

    Not one step back!
