I live in the northeast and was blown away the first time I had a burrito from a truck in the southwest. My immigration plan is to have a Mexican food truck on every corner of America. I don't care how it happens. I'll have ICE agents reverse deport people. Friggin kidnap them from Mexico and give them a truck and a parking lot or sidewalk. Everyone in America must experience what I have experienced.
/s, though I do take this position facetiously in immigration arguments.
This is why I leave things laying around. I see things almost daily so when I need them I know exactly where they are. Once I organize them? Gone forever until I say "oh I wonder what's in this drawer."
Also helldivers itself isn't fascist because it's DRIPPING with satire, so I'd argue making a meme referring to super earth as the good guys is similarly tongue in cheek.
When I first heard about the battle I thought it was a ragtag bunch in trucks. But no, they had artillery, tanks, and other heavy equipment, so it was a serious threat to the ground forces. However, as is seemingly normal for Russia, Wagner and the Syrians had zero air defense or cover. It was basically a turkey shoot from the entire US close air support lineup.
A third excellent example is operation Paul Bunyan. No shots were fired, but the absolutely overwhelming show of force cowed north Korea into backing down and issuing the closest thing to an apology they're capable of.
Ukraine? I am not so sure the US would have faired much better in the initial invasion, Ukraine understood early on how small drone fpv drone tactics can be used to grind an enemy force to a halt in a way the US military like most militaries largely resisted.
Russia failed the initial invasion alone. Troops were standing in towns with no idea what they were doing or where they were. Massive columns ran out of gas before getting anywhere. Ukrainian defense, once it popped off, was mostly guerrilla tactics with anti tank launchers from NATO. They didn't really start using kamikaze FPVs until weeks or months into the war. Also there was very little Russian air support in the early days of the invasion.
The US going up against a near peer threat is scary. Take a look at one of the many videos about day 1 of the gulf war. The US knocked out two early warning radars and completely destroyed all communications infrastructure in Baghdad all within the span of about a minute due to meticulous timing of missile launches and bomb drops.
Nah, I have had nothing but fantastic experiences with steam. Their support is knowledgeable, responsive, and has the power to actually help you. The index controllers are notorious for developing drift on the sticks and they RMAd mine several times no problem. The last one was a year out of warranty and they said that's all I get lol, but that's way more than they technically had to do.
Compare that to meta support where I had to talk to 4 different help desk lackeys who told me my quest was definitely on the way in another package (even after I showed them incontrovertible proof there weren't multiple packages under the same number and I received all the packages) before they finally escalated me to the "specialist" team, who took a FULL DAY PER RESPONSE. Fuck meta, fuck zucc, hail gaben.
Well, there's sponsor block which uses crowd sourced timestamps to skip those segments, but yeah you're right.
