@WashedOutGundamPilot @caekislove > it’s arrogance to assume we can handle everything under the sun to absolute perfection.
Exactly, so how exactly is denying the generalisation of the entire breadth of the population in favour of a small subset benefitting anyone except your selected margin in your "biz" circles?
There's a huge block between "THOT" and "power partner" that covers the vast majority of women. Even then, to what standard are you even going to hold the THOTs too if you don't recognise the generalisation?
This is all arguing to the utility side of things but It is still wrong per-se for a Man to forgo his duty of leadership or a Woman to hold authority over man.

@WashedOutGundamPilot @caekislove I can't see much of what you are saying here connected to reality. certainly not a fitting perspective to understand male/female dynamics. Male bonding isn't a lost art. In a vacuum sans the insanity of today any two regular men can experience it.
-
@WashedOutGundamPilot @caekislove Nah, I've heard this for years and don't buy it. Men are the most unconscientious people in the world. They are also the most conscientious. In my experience women are the least consistent in being conscientious. Just like the intelligence bell curve, it's flatter for men but a standard deviation ahead of women who's average clusters towards mediocrity or worse in the virtue.
The main burden of male responsibility in my life and in the lives of all the men I observe around me regarding our women is the patience we have with their utter thoughtlessness. Perhaps a well groomed woman will learn what to divert her energy towards but I have never seen such sans a male leading them in such a way. Likewise I have never seen women naturally make bonds with other women in a vacuum anywhere approaching that between men, nor ply some mythical feminine guile to diffuse a situation. To the contrary It has always been cooler headed men to navigate such troubled social waters in my experience. If anything their only leverage would be to force men to take the burden of them into account when considering confrontation with another.
I suspect the reason many guys will relate to your summation is because many of our recent generations, God help the Zoomers, have had to feel their way towards the masculine rolls with every societal pressure except the reality of their relationships telling them to do otherwise. The ONLY exceptions I have ever encountered were Nuns and individuals of excellence like Florence Nightingale, all of whom had extremely influential and hands on male tutelage and in their writings expressed every contempt for common women of all social strata, especially those baying for access to what was effectively social manhood.
It's very easy, especially today, for men to forgo their duties of leadership and just say "yes honey"; that was Adam's first sin in a way.

Secret societies mostly followed the liberal revolutionaries of Germany, France and the early US (via French influence)
England is the one European country to have the longest stretch of time completely Jew free between Edward I and William of Orange. They were expelled explicitly for their swindling unlike the religiously motivated Spanish expulsions so there was no room for converso stay behinds. Not even Cromwell dared bring them back, England was so hostile to them.
The modern Jewish revolution of international cooperation and external subversion is historically quite recent and faced much push back within the diaspora prior to ww1. The Anglos just happened to be the world hegemons at the time of this revolution. They had also been liberalised much more gradually than the continent and so Jews were able to ingratiate themselves with the elite of the empire, well positioned for the coming Jewish coup of the 20th century.

@GabeLakmann @CatLord @BowsacNoodle Besides obviously making a negative claim unashamedly It really betrays the midwittery of modern scientists, assuming that they can make metaphysical judgements from a completely material and physical perspective. The question "why is there something rather than nothing" doesn't even enter the equation. They'll just mechanically describe the theories of universal genesis like a computer defining the hue and saturation values of a the colours in a beautiful painting when asked to describe it, completely missing the point.

@WashedOutGundamPilot @MelGibsonafter4Beers Hitler was just so much more than any Caesar or Napoleon. Yes he was a competent commander and chief, yes he sparred in the political sphere, but for a man to come from the bottom, tie all the talented men of his generation together into one movement and accomplish all he did with no larger, corrupting ambition, just purely on the virtue of his cause; is there any other who surpasses him?
-
@WashedOutGundamPilot @DW2 @Terry From the enlisted memoirs I have read it would seem that only Cpts and Lts are really on the footslogger radar. Any greater responsibility is likely out of their awareness or fatalistically accepted; company and platoon commanders are the ones who coordinate and hold up their little patch of hell and so it's them that'll inspire, or break, the moral of a rifleman.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Judging by the skeletal shape, particularly the straightness of the femurs, these are both male.

@WashedOutGundamPilot I wonder if "Aedelwulf Heardler" is the correct old English form.
If heid (health) is an approximate derivative of heard (hardy)then it should be.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Finally have a conversation starter for women.

@WashedOutGundamPilot An "Anterior Pelvic Tilt", due to either a weak gluteus minimus and/or weak hip flexors. Easily remedied with weighted lunges and bicycle kicks/Elbow2Knee crunches. Even standing butt crunches throughout the day will work.
Personally I think it's hot, adds a very sensually contour to the belly. Bad shoulder and back posture makes me cringe though.
-
@WashedOutGundamPilot @BowsacNoodle Thinking on this, perhaps this is why Gallic druids forbade recording of their religion and only passed traditions orally, same with Roman/Greek cults and temples being esoteric and secretive, a way to always have the pleb rely on the "experts" for how they should act, not having any codified text or scripture from which to hammer out concrete doctrine and orthodoxy. This further shows the importance of keeping the Pontifex Maximus a political appointment in Rome, it allowed for elites to retain some of their arbitrary power after the Roman law was codified on the 12 tablets (against their vehement protests).
-
@WashedOutGundamPilot @BowsacNoodle Fundamentally it lacks any sort of truth claim, it is based on civic observance of rituals, not faith and piety towards ultimate truth that can only be revealed through divine revelation.
Without that, all you have is a mythological legend and aesthetics, the mere veneer of religion resembling the meaningful expressions from actual religions which make active claims to revealed divine truth.
No Roman, Viking or Steppe nomad would have died for their God's glory, their Gods were merely receptacles of public approval for doing the community rituals. As long as you observed them you were "pious", even if you didn't believe. Likewise, if you refused to observe them, any misfortune would be attributed to you angering the Gods or not paying adequate tribute. It was always YOUR fault for not appeasing them, failure, trouble, corruption could always be turned around and used to shame the plebs into further compliance. A mere mechanism for social control and uniformity playing on superstition.
Social pressure and the pride of observing the rituals of the current civic superstition reinforced by fawning sycophants going "so brave". But refuse to observe the ritual and suddenly it was obviously your fault that your co-worker's second cousins great-grandfather died of Covid. You didn't pay the tribute, you should be shamed.
Such is the insipid shallowness of historic pagan "spirituality" and why, lacking any actual contact with the divine, modern recreations fail to capture any of the original vitality that may have been there due to strenuous conditions of survival and tribal warfare.
Anthony Fauci will always be a better Pontifex Maximus than Sven Bloodbeard (formerly Steven Butterworth) pouring out a drop of beer onto the floor for the Gods.

@MemeLandfill @WashedOutGundamPilot Too edgy for me. Angular instead of round and space agey, unnecessary lines, kunai and ribbon grip katana? No thanks.
The Zaku already has enough attitude and personality from it's hooded shifty cyclopes eye. The extra spikes and contours to the armour make it lean more into a rhinoceros beetle look than a space scuba diver.
Not much a fan of the 'sallet' style of helmet either, prefer either the 'Stahlhelm' or 'kabuto' variants if anything at all, but the rule for the Zaku's aesthetic is generally: simple=better. This allows for modularity which lends itself to a much more realistic military aesthetic.
If you are to modify it, make it look like an off the shelf last ditch retrofit or manipulate the bulkiness of some parts as if it's a later model with larger reactors or something like pictured here. The Psycho Zaku has some of this philosophy, staying very close to the base zaku-2, but despite it's bulky upgrades which are fine and seem very utilitarian compared to elegant federation design, it too has all that unnecessary detailing drawing the eye away from the actual parts and towards the superfluous colours, pads, ribs and lines. Notice specifically the skirt and useless outlining of the pauldrons. It's like a CSGO skin which makes useless panelling pop more than the components, destroying the aesthetic.
I kinda like the Kai here because it looks racier and more powerful with it's extra vents and muscular upper torso which looks like it could comfortably rotate robotically instead of looking like a suit of armour containing a man; a more natural evolution of the base design. Reminds me of the Griffon spits upgraded from the Merlins or the Ta-152 from the FW-190.

@WashedOutGundamPilot @merchantHelios Definitely, there is the potential for a truly good, gritty and tactically engaging one year war game floating in the aether that could compete with Armoured Core and MechWarrior, there was just never the talent and recourses dedicated to it.
All the elements are there:
>bulky mechs requiring forethought for positioning and savvy use of recourses.
>Modular damage effecting playstyle throughout a mission/campaign as more parts accrue damage or are destroyed.
>Range of models and loadouts allowing for different playstyles between assault, stand-off firepower, and manoeuvrability.
>Battlefields spanning every terrain around the world +the option for extra-terrestrial battles.
>Context of the entire Gundam UC universe adding great depth to the world story that the player could be thrown into.
-
@WashedOutGundamPilot They make it way too easy for Zaku II supremacists like me. Give me bulky, give me utilitarian, give me cyclopes.
-
@merchantHelios @WashedOutGundamPilot I remember having fun with Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire (I think that's its name, seems like it from the wiki) after playing Armoured core: For answer for all it was worth (really wish I could emulate that). You command a squad for either a Zeon or the Federation campaign during the one year war. Kinda like a Mechwarrior type game allowing you to go from GMs and Zaku 1s all the way to the mass produced Gundams and I think Goufs.
Pretty cheap production but it does well at making you feel the weight and unwieldiness of the Mobile suits without the awful clunky controls of early Armoured Core.
Gundam Evolution is a pretty fun 5v5 arena shooter, though, I only ever play the ranged Zaku II in it with Goku's English VA as my pilot voice.

@Wyatt @Godcast @mkultra @Boomerman @Eiregoat @Giga_Vril_Breaker @ImperialAgent @MechaSilvio @Quentel @doctorsex @johnbudd1350 @matty I happen to know the Crema were at several points during 44'-45' down for repair, as their chimneys and brick lining had to be replaced. A hundred bodies in the open, a genocide does not make.
-
@Wyatt @Godcast @mkultra @Boomerman @Eiregoat @Giga_Vril_Breaker @ImperialAgent @MechaSilvio @Quentel @doctorsex @johnbudd1350 @matty The crematoria was used for the entire Auschwitz compound and surrounding area. As much as you imagine in your mind, it did not have the capacity to incinerate thousands of bodies an hour or tens of thousands a day. One going down very well could be cause enough for open air burnings, especially with the instability of war and typhus.
Also, I know that picture wasn't published originally for the holocaust, because I'm looking at the edited version right here which was. Can you tell me the provenance of THAT version? At the end of the day I can claim it's any number of train crashes in Ohio and it wont mean a nickel, but if you can't prove the origin of the photo you haven't got squat. The burden of evidence being on you and all.

@WhiteDissidentRadio @UncleA88 @Leaflord @RupertvonRipp You really want to shut up Tucker and all the boomer conspiracy tards using Covid as a distraction? Champion your own fucking counter narrative and make the topic radioactive. Once Nazis step into the arena every limp dicked conservative will jump ship instantly and you'll deny them a propaganda asset.
