[David Attenborough voice] Here we see one of the rarest and most beautiful sights in nature, a pair of wild Navy Super Hornets at the end of their courtship dance, mating for the first and only time in their brief lives.

After just a few moments of contact, the female scatters her now-fertilized eggs to the wind, where they will drift down into safe resting places amongst the scrub. Meanwhile, the parents' bodies, exhausted after completing their life's sole mission, fall to the earth and return their nutrients to the soil... the circle of life continues.

Some young American guy... who presumably is also fluent in Korean

Do you have a hygrometer? If so, please check the average humidity beneath any nearby rocks and stones, as it may be quite high.

Unfortunately Banks is a good enough writer that even when Horza loses absolutely everything it's just kind of sad, like the whole thing was a complete waste where nobody wins. He could have been happy but instead he dies in misery, and the only reason is anticommunist brainworms.

Player of Games is great, I usually tell people to start with that one anyway because it shows you exactly what the Culture is and why it's a good thing.

Turbine engines are surprisingly adaptable, they can run on most things that burn all the way down to something as crude as powdered coal.

For real, if I was going to glaze a guy to this extent I should probably at least know his first name.

You're right, and the US helped many of the perpetrators of those crimes get away scot free, if they didn't offer them a job first.

Not even 7,000 dead??? This was the legendary horrifying bloodbath that nukes had to be used to prevent a repeat of?

Fucking pathetic, the eastern front truly was the only real part of WW2 (and *asian resistance against Japan).

 

now that it turns out it's 'racist white men'.

Also just learned it's a quote from a white nationalist neonazi in 1993, I never saw it used for anything other than antisemitic dogwhistling but I assumed the phrase was stolen from some liberal philosopher and taken out of a specific historical context... but no, just a neonazi.

 

Lo, did King Georgius of the Hedge, second of his name, perforce, in expansion of his realm, commission that this deed be done.

 

This story sets my blood absolutely boiling every time it comes up. A 15 year old girl was sex trafficked to Syrian extremists, by a people-smuggling ring run by a man later discovered to be a Canadian intelligence asset, was "married" within 10 days of arriving in Syria, had three children before she was 19 all of whom died, and the day after she was discovered alive in a refugee camp and expressed her wish to come home, she was illegally made stateless by the Home Secretary revoking her British passport in the name of """protecting national security""".

And these savages are literally baying for her blood, gleefully pointing out "It's not illegal because she's not stateless, she can go to Bangladesh, oh but they dispute that she's a citizen and they've said if she goes there they'll hang her for terrorism! Hahaha! pLaY sTuPid GaMeS " smuglord

but she still has extremist beliefs and won't condemn ISIS

OF COURSE SHE FUCKING DOES, SHE'S LIVED IN A TENT IN THE DESERT SINCE SHE WAS 15. HOW COULD SHE POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN DERADICALIZED?? Oh, some fucking "anonymous source" in the Telegraph says she was "an 'enforcer' in IS's 'morality police'"? That's fucked up, did she like do anything or kill anyone though? No? Of course not.

These same fucking people will then turn around and shed their crocodile tears about oppression in Xinjiang. If she was Chinese she'd have been brought back, put in a deradicalization center for a few months to a year, given teaching on why her extreme beliefs were wrong along with some education and training, and now she'd be working in a garment factory or something, with a long and normal life ahead of her. Instead the compassionate, civilized West has condemned her to a legal black hole, trapped with no future in the desert camp that her children died in, for the crime of being kidnapped as a child by our own spies, to an extremist organization that, as we all know here, is a US project.

The whole thing is a perfect encapsulation of the inherent brutal, savage cruelty and criminality of western regimes and the bootlickers in their population. I try to remind myself that there are good people here who also think this is a travesty, but when I read this thread I can only get a few comments in before I get the urge, like bile rising up my throat, to scream UNLIMITED GENOCIDE ON THE FIRST WORLD.

inshallah-script the forgiveness they have shown her, will in turn one day be shown to them.

 

Redditors react to a video of a bike ride around Pyongyang

Video: the most normal city ever filmed

Redditors: So spooky! Everything looks... wrong! This guy is taking his life in his hands to film this! avgn-horror

Also Redditors: Looks too normal, this has to be staged, they're actors and this is a propaganda channel! phoenix-objection-1phoenix-objection-1


Side note: my tolerance for western bullshit on the DPRK has reached the negatives, five seconds in these comments and you can cook an egg with my blood. Salute to the small handful of brave comrades pushing back on propaganda in the replies kim-salute

 

Laugh! Laugh at the inferiority of the untermenschen-crafted weapon! soypoint-2

Featuring such golden comment chains as:

One a/c on the assembly line. Look at manufacturing sites for F-35 and F-22. Dozens of aircraft lined up. That’s the difference.

That’s the first thing I noticed. Russian industrial capacity has literally collapsed, I never realized they were this weak. Compare that to their Chinese allies who have been able to produce an impressive number of J20s pretty fast even though the SU57 had its test flight earlier

Too many people stealing money and limiting their capabilities. Good lol*

*not like our trustworthy Raytheons and Northrop-Grummans, of course edgeworth-smug

 

For when you spy that fash-on-fash violence.

(Great minds think alike but this one has no background)
