@judgedread@Escoffier Just to riff off of this RE: The Recruiting Crisis It started when I was still on active duty in the Army. In Germany in 1992? Long ago in an Army far, far away... My room dawg got hit with an Article 15 (non-judicial punishment) for LOOKING at and lingering his gaze on a truly hawt Female Occifer at a range.
She was so offended she went to his CoC (Chain of Command) and because of this egregious failure to avert his gaze, my man had to stand before 'The Man' and do a bunch of EO Training (Equal Opportunity, DEI before there was DEI) and 30 days extra duty, restricted to the Barracks. Thankfully no pay/rank loss.
Slowly, then quickly as the 90s played out, the niggers seized on the E.O. scam to push their own agenda. "Down with The Brown" was a code term for the 'uniformed nigger mafia' so to speak. It's power was only rivaled by the Dreaded Spec-4 Mafia in power. If you were blaq, things went.... shall we say?...smoooother when it came to shit-work detail assignments... Supply requisitions tended to be a lot easier for the coons as well, as the majority of Supply Pukes were positively infested with niggers.
They tended to do the majority of support element MOS (Military Occupational Specialties) that did NOT involve being on the tip of the spear... call it racial cowardice? More than likely IMO...
Now the few Blacks (yes spelt correctly and done right) that I DID serve with who were Blue-Cord Infantry like me? Great guys. Mad respect. Still talk to a few of them at reunions and such. Even they hate the niggers in the Army... My Driver, last name "Holmes" (no bullshit!) was a former gangbanger who got the "Army/Jail" option. He was/is a great guy but he was hilarious b/c as a driver, he had to qualify with the M-9 Pistol.... a quick side story:
Homie as his handle was of course... couldn't hit shit on the range, and as his boss (Vehicle Commander) I had to give remedial training. He complained that the "Army Way" wasn't 'natural' for him, so I asked the Range NCO if he could shoot how he was comfortable, and was approved. He went up to the line, and stood in that "Classic Gangbanger Stance", upright, left arm pinned to his aide, chest out, legs together with the nine at his side.
Every time a target popped up, he'd whip up the nine damned near over his head, at an angle, and >BLAM!< cap a round off and damned if he didn't shoot high Expert... not one shot missed. Too funny there...
Anyways, sorry, on Beer #7 already, it's been a long day. I digress.
Point is, the DotMil TRADITIONALLY has been 90% White Males from the Deep South. The damned near exclusionary attitude and divisive policies that started with E.O. and graduated to "Don't Ask/Don't Tell", with the follow up punch of DEI and lowered expectations for advancement in favor of the faggots, niggers, queers and now fucking trannies and 'other' flavored froot loops. Nevermind the pursuit of fucking illegal Burrito Goblins these days? A twenty plus year program of degrading/defaming/demeaning and discounting the ONE group that you primarily rely on when shit goes sideways or your jewish masters tug the leash?
<Slow Golf Clap> Absolutely Goddamned Brilliant.
The Inmates are running the fucking asylum now.
I HIGHLY Doubt that the 69th Intersectional Dildo Brigade (Non-Binary) is capable of fighting it's way out of a wet paper sack. The consistent shitty treatment of Vets, the absolute attitude that we're and still are ultimately -disposable- non-consequential pawns for the jews to utilize at their Satanic whims?
We have a doozy of a post today as we will be looking at the first Church Father on repentance, perhaps the most famous one, Augustine of Hippo. This is part of a sermon he preached in Carthage, in 412 AD, when the basilica of Carthage's cathedral had finished being restored having been previously lost or destroyed during the previous century. What all should note is that, for Augustine's point, the act a repentance is a personal sacrament one render's unto God as your sacrifice to Him. This sacrifice pleases the Lord as the repentance is united to Christ, who was being signified throughout Scripture as being our ultimate sacrificial lamb. The relevant section will be split into two posts due to its length.
「Do you wish to be reconciled with God? Understand what you must do with yourself if God is to be reconciled with you. Notice where it says in this same psalm, Because if you had wanted a sacrifice I would certainly have given one; in holocausts you will not delight (Ps. 51:16). Shall you be without any sacrifice at all, then? Nothing you can offer, no offering to appease God with? What was it you said? 7f you had wanted a sacrifice I would certainly have given one. Carry on, and listen, and say, A sacrifice for God is a contrite spirit; a contrite and humbled heart God does not spurn (Ps. 51:16).
After the things you used to offer have been abandoned, you have found something to offer still. In the time of the ancestors you used to offer victims from your herds, and they were called sacrifices. “If you had wanted a sacrifice I would certainly have given one. So you don’t require that sort of thing anymore, and yet you still require a sacrifice. Your people says to you, ‘What am I to offer, seeing that I no longer offer what I used to offer?’ ”
It’s the same people, you see, some passing away and others being born, it’s the same people now as then. The sacraments and symbols have changed, not the faith.’ The signs by which something was signified have changed, not the thing that was signified. It was Christ that was represented by a ram, Christ by a lamb, Christ by a calf, Christ by a goat —everything was Christ. The ram was, because it leads the flock; it was found in the thorns when our father Abraham was ordered to spare his son, but not to depart without offering any sacrifice.* Isaac was Christ, and the ram was Christ. Isaac carried the wood for sacrificing himself, Christ was burdened with his own cross. The ram was substituted for Isaac, but not of course Christ for Christ. But Christ was in both Isaac and the ram. The ram was caught by its horns in the thornbush; ask the Jews what they crowned the Lord with that time.’ He is the lamb: Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29). He is the bull: observe the horns of the cross. He is the goat, because of the likeness of sinful flesh (Rom. 8:3). All these things were veils, until the day should dawn and the shadows be removed (Songs 2:17).」

To vote, please make one and only post with only the name of the girl you want to vote for. (Yuki or Lina) You may add an image to your vote post. An image by itself is not a vote.
Poll closes at 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (-5 UTC) and any vote post made after will not be counted.
You MAY repost or quote post this thread, though it's encouraged to boost the main tourney thread as well. But please do not use this Baest thread for discussion. Use @SuperSnekFriend 's tourney threads on Mugicha Club instead.
No account made December 2023 or later will be counted.
The remaining 24 girls will qualify through nominations and qualifier polls.
Also, because Touhou girls performed so well in the tournament, and since Touhou will inevitably hit the 3-girl franchise cap that will be in place next season, I thought it fair that the Touhou girls who DO qualify (we’ll have a special Touhou selection process ahead of the regular nominations) be secured favorable seeding, because based on what we now know, they should all boast Top 8 strength.
I also did set up a possible Pyra VS 2B quarterfinal match on purpose, but I still think the seeding is fully justifiable :smug6:
Anyway, that’s the end of my Season 1 contest writeup. Use #BestVidyaGirlContest to find my earlier posts, or just use the following links:

Industry kind of expected that MIPS and SPARC were going to stay where they were, no one expected x86 to eat the world. Coming into the 90s, it was m68k and then all the Serious Business computing was RISC.

IBM continues get a lot of mileage out of it with Blue Gene et al, it's just not something people put on the desktop. Looks like, per https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/2023/11/ , it's EPYC, Xeon, Xeon, A64FX, EPYC, Xeon, and then #7 is a POWER9.
