  • I did look into this stuff a couple years ago and from what I remember the whole raid started over a 200$ tax/permit. They dealed in weapons to fund their lifestyle. They were a shitty apocalyptic cult with probably child abuse going on, but last time I checked child welfare is not on atf agenda. What should have happened is 1-2 agents knocking on their door and asking to inspect their weapons. I have little reason to believe they wouldn't just comply. There were already undercover feds in the compound that they were aware of and nothing happened to those agents. While they were a crazy cult I don't think they were a danger to anyone outside. But atf needed their funding and existence justified so they went for a spectacular action instead of a reasonable approach.


  • Has to be Dodonpachi for me. Combo scoring system is amazing and it has just the right ammount of difficulty, I felt like I could 1cc the game (never did though, got stuck at stage 4 boss :sadness: ) , later sequels got a bit too ridiculous for me. Honorable mentions go to Espgaluda, because I liked the time slowing system or even running the gauge out and playing it in ultra speed and Castle of Shikigami for the character diversity, with every character there you play basically a totally different game and grazing system is also pretty fun.



  • I honestly think that learning how to touch type was the most useful thing I have ever learned if I consider the investment/payoff ratio. It's seriously trivial in time investment 1-2 weeks 30-60 mins a day and that's it. Learning it is also basically playing a rhythm video game as well so I would say it's even pretty fun. Touch typing in comparison has probably saved me like hundreds if not thousands of hours, but the payoff would depend on how much typing you do. I honestly wondered why I had no touch typing in high school considering how useful it is.

    Laurence Auzière-Jourdan (born 1977) is a French cardiologist and stepdaughter of French President Emmanuel Macron, for whom she campaigned in the 2017 French presidential election.

    Auzière-Jourdan was born in 1977 to André-Louis Auzière, a banker, and Brigitte Trogneux. Her family lived in Truchtersheim, a French city near the German border, until 1991.[1][2] She was a classmate of Emmanuel Macron at the Lycée la Providence in Amiens, France.[3][4] She has an older brother, Sébastien, an engineer, and a younger sister, Tiphaine, a lawyer.[2][5]

    His step-daughter was his classmate and he has a step-son that's older than him.



  • Americans actually pay 2000$ for the Guantanamo bay yearly as a lease. This of course wouldn't get you an apartment even in parts of what used to be second world in the infamous commie blocks. The lease of course was negotiated when that was dollars of gold, though I still think it wasn't that much. After the revolution one cheque was cashed by Castro, because he didn't know what it was, and the rest are somewhere in a drawer, so Cubans essentially get nothing and want the land returned. The point I am trying to make is that I have seen quite a bit of disinformation on the local internet ,especially on the local neoliberal rag newspaper, that Americans are actually paying an arm and the leg for the lease and Cuba doesn't even really want Guantanamo back. Has anyone noticed something similar?

    Dungeon crawl stone soup, you can download the terminal version or you can also play it in ssh client on various servers. And I actually had an incident a few years ago when some people thought it was work.
