Most likely, yes!

Trimaran?

I guess it doesn’t matter. What matters is getting giant jets on that dry-dock pronto!

I see we’re reinventing the catamaran today

It’s pretty slow firing for full auto

It was a great idea - let the troops check how much ammo remained in the mag. Shame about the whole “Real world conditions” thing.

Still up for me, looks like. Using Chrome in the USA here.

I swapped from calling for Biden to stay to calling for Biden to go once sitting Congresscritters spoke out in public asking him to step down, since the main advantage of incumbency is supposed to be the ability to preserve party unity, but I was still expecting a lot more “DEMS IN DISARRAY HOW CAN THEY EVER WIN” style narrative to take root. There’s still time for me to be disappointed, but as of right now I’m pleasantly surprised.

SMGs like this were actually highly valued in trench warfare - not for the long periods of sniping across no-man’s land, but in trench raids and infiltration tactics by specialists. Some wild stuff - semiautomatic pistols modified to fire full auto, knives, maces, armor straight out of the medieval period…

This prototype SMG in particular didn’t have much future to it, though. Water-cooling is… not very practical for a mobile weapon, lmao. The French Chauchat LMG saw much more utilization in the same period.

It was posted only a minute before his comment as I’d gotten distracted for a few minutes after posting the pic; the link probably wasn’t up when he was typing the question.

and 2000 years ago Roman soldiers were paid with cocaine.

Goddammit, reject modernity, return to tradition! What a golden age!

Soviet opening up a dead Nazi: “C’mon, Luger, Luger, Luger… rare skin, fuckin’ score!”

“That being said, I am happy to give up my right to vote as a trade for a significantly better quality of life. It’s cleaner, it’s safer. There’s more opportunity in mobility,” she said.

“There’s no one on this planet who could be that bad of a person that we need to assassinate just to keep them out of the presidency,” Christian said. “How radical the American culture and society is getting in its entirety is making me go, ‘I really need to get out of here.’”

Christian and Salah said they won’t be voting, and Do said she is still learning about the process for voting abroad right now.

“I think American politics is a joke,” Salah said. “I think we’re seeing that no matter which party is in power, no matter which face it is, it’s kind of the same system.”

Jesus fucking Christ.

Trump is 78, Sanders is 82. Realistically speaking, Trump is also at that age when decline can come very quickly, but:

1. His cult doesn’t care

AND

2. Considering Trump’s ‘normal’ behavior, how would you even tell

It’s fun, Lemmy having an option for searching user comments. See a user make a suss comment? Search their comments for ‘Ukraine’. If they’re a fascist, there’s a good chance they can’t help themselves but start talking about “Russia’s legitimate security concerns” or “2014 coup”

Okay Dr. Toboggan

When you’re in your 80s, decline can come about VERY quickly and without warning. It, unfortunately, is much more of a concern than it was in 2016.

Anticolonialist is one of the usual suspects for cheerleading fascism under the guise of ‘bothsides’. Best to just ignore them.

It’s a hard thing to come to terms with losing your edge with age. I’m glad he listened to reason in the end.

Defeatism gets us nowhere. We live in unusual times - they are what we make of them. And I say we make this a Dem fucking victory so we don’t have to live (or die) under a fascist fucking regime.
