just once, just once i would like politicians or police, to see this cyber punk dystopian bullshit go 'wait a minute, thats straight up a crime' and arrest everyone involved

this violates my nations CSAM laws (uk) the gov should get off the site, and take it down like they would a darkwebsite

this is not going to end until someone somewhere in power goes 'this is textbook producing and distributing CSAM this site is no better than dodgy deepweb sites' and orders the authorities to treat it as such

they go 'oops i goofed some CSAM, my bad doh!' because no one actually punishes them!

also and this is just a nit pick of mine, why did he make westeros a medival european society......and not have fucking serfs, or guilds, or burghers, or everything that made that society work?

and canonically the world has been in the same 'late 1400s' tech for a 3000 years....how

Populist movements seem to reach their zenith just as they run out of steam, like the tories post johnson, the GOP are trying to write cheques the movement can no longer cash, MAGA hit its zenith around November last year, and now its running on pure inertia.

at best, you can probably make a law making things like this classified as porn, and then pass regulations making it so you have to actually look for porn to ever see it so best case, your horn dog 13 year old cousin does not just stumble on it

it is surprisingly hard apparently to derail the economic prowess of a hegemon

or the other countries are such so economically weak they are never going to catch up with the yanks

one of the two

what fascist think liberals do under threat: I surrender! please don't hurt me, I am soft and weak!

What Liberals Actually do: I have just invented a new horseman of the apocalypse, and am going to use it on you, unless you surrender to the inevitable end of history.

there is a very real chance that if trump dies in office, Vance will be convinced a dem killed him, and will act accordingly

worse still if this happens before the mid terms. basically Vance has had his brain cooked enough that he can not function in normal politics, and will do something batshit
December 21, 2025 at 8:58 PM
there is a very real chance, they botch it, and trumps name just shows up unredacted several times
December 18, 2025 at 10:31 PM
he would rather dummymander the state than accept he is so unpopular that his own party is on the backfoot

looking forward to the dem one party state of indiana

Youngkin all but guarantees a ICE Kent State in 2026

hes going to devise a well thought out and brutal plan to detain immigrants only for noems rush job ice training and low standards to make the plan end with a massacre

ICEs manpower talent is fucked, youngkin does not have the time to unfuck it

there is a decade long period of his life where you read it and go 'oh you were totally a spy'

Sue Gray is in the same boat (quit left the civil service to run a pub in a northern irish border town)

the fact they both have to deny it, while not disproving it is funny

Its giving me 'Riverdale but star trek' vibes
December 5, 2025 at 2:02 AM
I think there building up to using honest to god deepfakes, because trump is increasingly incapable of doing even the most basic functions of a president

this is a 'oops all edith wilsons' administration

I had successfully supressed bridge to Terabithia from my memory, lol. that was a rough one, but a good example.

if a character death does not make me furiously skip a chapter to see you reverse it, and you don't, then you've gone hard

i think animorphs did it a couple of times, but the first time i remember it, was with the hunger games series.
November 30, 2025 at 10:50 PM
yeah grow a pair, show you serious, kill a beloved main character three books in who has a whole AO3 tag, and an unresolved love arc.
November 30, 2025 at 10:23 PM
its a polite way of saying 'this better be false or your utterly fucked'

interesting to see if hegseth goes, and if so if/how the gop intend to ensure trump does not put someone else into the position who is the same/worse
November 30, 2025 at 8:49 PM
also the fact she is not exaggerating the most well placed governor to help or squash an occupation of DC the fact she is now to be governor of Virginia makes a attempt to do another J6 or a Yoon impossible

he cant rely on the virginia gaurd and congress has a trump card if midterms cause a crisis

the americans gave backdoor logistical support, by making sure that there was fuel on ascension island, for the brits to use, as a pit stop, but the island was british and it was the brits who pulled of 400 flights there a day, for a week, so the americans helped, sure, but the brits weren't reliant
November 30, 2025 at 11:23 AM
Argentina was not a inferior nation by any stretch, its just britain was able to stretch its limited resources much further and willing to punch much harder than they anticipated

tbf, it was an equal match could of gone either way
November 30, 2025 at 2:34 AM
britain pressed cruise ships into service and built helicopter pads from designs made on bar napkins, its not that argentina was the weaker nation, britain was just crazy determined, and had logistical strategy so good, NATO still holds the falklands war as a perfect logistics campaign
November 30, 2025 at 2:32 AM
Like britain had one ship in the region pre war, and 26 marines, it was 8000 miles away, and the logistical chain to conduct the war did not exist, once aregentina took the islands, they fought britain would be incapable of taking them back, and that is a logical conclusion
