Climate change is going to wipe out Golf

Maybe that's why he's obsessed with having kids, they only like/tolerate him until they grow old enough to know him

That's why pickpockets are the true vanguard of the revolution

It was actually this mission that led the army to want an aircraft with the endurance of an airplane and the vtol capabilities of a helicopter, which in turn started development of the osprey

Damn, I was kinda hoping he'd outlive Biden

Someone might have to take matters into their own hands...

Death Drive is real but only for fascists. They yearn for the void

Damn that looks amazing, I should get a kotatsu

Mr. Musk, who has been code-named “Voyager” by his security team himself

Although I'm surprised musk wouldn't choose a much more cringe codename

It's just their attitude towards the ukraine conflict repeated at home. They want to oppose Russia so long as someone else pays the cost in men & materiel

You bring up a great point about how they affect playstyles, and I think it's not just marines that are victims of this. Recent years have really seen GW pushing "centerpiece models" that they want to be almost essential to play a faction on the tabletop (Silent King, Norn emissary, Lord Solar, etc).

Between that, eviscerating wargear/loadout options, & a general focus on "competitive play" 🤮 it feels like there's way less customization/variety in army lists.

So "burning everything down" is enacting reactionary policy before trump can?

Imo loyalist primarchs coming back takes away from the idea that the Imperium is a place of crumbling decay. Between Bobby G & primarus (a rant for another day) it feels like they want to have their cake and eat it too. The Imperium is falling apart, barely functioning, technology is stagnant at best, but somehow they also get a flood of new recruits (here I thought suitable marine recruits were supposed to be somewhat rare) with shiney new wargear & vehicles and the primarchs that is basically Emperor Jr is back in charge.

Maybe marine fans have a different perspective but the contradiction between the Imperium's ostensible decline & suddenly every chapter gets a flood of recruits & new advanced gear takes away from it for me.

So fucking glad my siblings never told their kids that Santa is real. I'm so happy that I don't have to pretend this guy is anything but a Christmas Mascot

Santa is just another part of the American Civic Religion that reinforces prosperity gospel. The rich children are rewarded by gifts from Santa while the poor are punished by being ignored.

"anal" is when you lay your dick in-between the butt cheeks like a hot dog in a bun

Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, good and naughty, santa and elf, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.
