    Nothing, i’m just saying that most people don’t understand this and don’t know that their individual skills with a firearm just won’t matter much if you don’t organize into a proper group with modern vehicles at your disposable.

    Point is, if you wanna go down the route of “I need 2A for an oppressive government”, you’ll quickly find yourself getting into the same situation as everyone else. Unless you form a side via a civil war, you’re gonna suffer heavy losses in the initial stage just like everyone else, and commit to long term attrition just like everyone else.

    Not saying it’s a bad idea in any way, but there’s a significant portion of the American community that I could not imagine being able to walk 10k despite stockpiling a platoon’s worth of ammo.

    Gulf War 1 was literally the king of all curbstomps and the Taliban fell just as fast to a swarm of CAS, even though they had the NWA completly surrounded.

    Only Vietnam survived because surprise surprise they had a hefty mechanized supply line provided by the USSR via China.

    Gulf 2 and the aftermath in Afghanistan was still a ridiculously long occupation that all hinged on the idea that the US no longer had any meaningful interest to commit resources and would eventually leave.

    IFVs exist for this exact purpose and they typically have minimum 1 per tank if not 2.

    You ain’t gonna get very far when theres a 25mm auto cannon spraying and praying in your general direction.

    Plus the coaxial 7.62 MGs

    Plus the hull mounted M2 .50 cal MGs.

    Why do you think separatists and resistance movements have to rely on IEDs and forcing fights in urban environments with a metric ton of cover available?

    Why do you think they get steamrolled by mechanized armored units like almost every time that forces them into guerilla fighting tactics like digging tunnels and using mountainous terrain?














  • I watched it during the first couple of months of 2020; it was insanely accurate and the soundtrack was intense like a super upgraded version of the background sounds of plague Inc.

    The most unrealistic part was the CDC actually doing their job and the government actually enforcing quarantine zones lol.

    Real kicker is the final scene. Don’t want to spoil it for anyone else, but it really hits you after living through Covid.


  • Very critical. GNOME and KDE have two very different UX paradigms.

    Usually people used to Windows opt for KDE, and Mac or older Ubuntu users opt for GNOME.

    The thing is though, a golden standard DE can easily be setup to act as both. XFCE is so customizable that I’ve seen both DE types setup as UNIX like or Windows like workflow.

    I’m not sure if KDE or GNOME can do the same because I’m pretty sure they focus on a target audience.

    What are your issues with KDE exactly? I always hated GNOME’s lack of standard window buttons and handling multiple windows in a Mac like fashion. Also the app menu which gives me flashbacks of ChromeOS.



  • Sarfraz Bugti, the provincial chief minister, told reporters in Quetta that troops and police officers responded swiftly to the attacks, killing 145 members of “Fitna al-Hindustan,” a phrase the government uses for the BLA.

    Sure buddy. 145 of them just conveniently showed up to get shot by the army.

    Pakistani army is too busy trying to remind the world that they were rhe first ones to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. They don’t even allocate enough APCs for their soldiers in Balochistan.
