I think sometimes it's done for legal reasons (rifles below a certain barrel length in the US are special and need some extra permits, but permanently attaching some kind of muzzle device counts as increasing the barrel length, and using a dummy suppressor specifically can get you the aesthetic of suppressed compact carbines like the AKS-74U or CQBR without the legal hurdles), but in this case it might not be that, since the M1 Carbine already has a sufficiently long barrel. The page I got it from states it might be a movie prop or display item.

yes, it has a side magazine (which was the style at the time yells-at-cloud), although it's at a bit of an angle, slightly diagonal

yeah, Dresden goes to the CPC and Munich and its environs (most of Southern Bavaria, really) goes to the KMT, for... some reason

honestly, he should have gone full hog and given them neighboring regions so the resumed Chinese Civil War can be fought on German territory

HoI4 peace conference ass map

I like that there's both a Chinese Nationalist and Chinese Communist zone, truly both-sides

by the magazine, but it'd definitely be very awkward - you can't really wrap your hand around that, I guess you'd need to basically have your thumb sort of resting along the side, which probably isn't going to be very comfortable, especially with the weird angle your hand would have to be sitting in

(on this C96 Mauser that grip is used to avoid having the hammer smack right into the webbing of your hand, which is occasionally a problem on some pistols, but particularly on the Mauser with the stock attached)

accidentally subscribing to Ancient Egyptian beliefs about the heart

The heart was regarded in Ancient Egypt as the organic motor of the body and also the seat of intelligence, an important religious and spiritual symbol. It was considered as one of the eight parts of human body. Counter to other organs it had to be kept carefully intact in the mummy to ensure its eternal life. In Ancient Egypt, the concept of heart included three constituents: heart-haty, heart-ib, and the spiritual seat of intelligence, emotion and memory.

(why yes, I did watch a ton of the Tutenstein cartoon as a kid, how could you tell? white-pharaoh )

I feel like unfortunately a lot of no-fappers are coming at this from a "I need to stop jacking off so I can get laid" angle, so it still comes back to sex, they love talking about how it made them more confident when talking to women.

It would certainly be nice if there were communities that actually did this though. We unironically need to have secular monastic orders, say what you will about organized religion as an institution but monks and nuns were a great idea.

they actually already came up with one, "are you still... master of your domain"

where does "funny fake quote" go if not in /c/memes?

It's not long enough to be a /c/copypasta, it's not /c/fakenews, it's not either of the tanks, I guess it could go in /c/chapotraphouse?

extremely overpriced mid

well, it's an accurate reflection of American manufacturing doggirl-smug

to be fair, this one is apparently a fake quote

but it's convincing because it's trump-anguish
