was Gi supposed to be from the PRC? which would mean two communist planeteers? (at least until the collapse pretty sure they changed Linkas origin after and made her less based)

like people thinking ANY overtime pay will actually make your paycheck smaller then if you just had 40 hours

yeah trying to imagine an Operation Overlord style massive invasion but this time the defenders can easily just erase your vulnerable landing ships from existance.

plus i think current U.S. doctrine is using helicopters to land troops which is just chefs-kiss

side note that's somewhat related to this (and i believe is more centered in Borneo):

kratom, which is used worldwide these days as a safer alternative to opiates, are slow growing trees that do best in a natural canopy. they drop leaves during the dry season which are then collected, cleaned, and ground for shipment. often it's indigenous or local subsistence farmers that collect them from large national forests as the forests are cut down and replaced by palm oil plantations this source of income is removed

supposedly some new regulations are coming regarding kratom in Indonesia. might be an attempt to sever this relationship so that remaining forests can be maximally exploited

i come from a long line of accountants going back to guys who counted silver coins for some shitty Welsh lord and that's the only reason i ever knew anything about the U.S. tax system

i like playing with the True Size Of.. website sometimes just to compared other nations/territories to expaneses i'm more personally familiar with (as i have traveled a lot in parts of the U.S.)

but to any ghouls out there that think Iran is just ripe for a U.S. invasion. it's basically like invading the entire U.S. east coast east of the Mississippi (minus Florida and Maine).

oh and making it vastly more mountainous. so like triple the geographic coverage of the entire Appalachian range

all through naval invasion or invading through other nations that will fight back. good luck

there is a big schism forming in hardcore right now. luckily there are far fewer right leaning/chud shit bands but there are a gross number of "apolitical" outfits. most of the "revivalcore" bands that are bringing back the sound of the late 90s/early 00s are staunchly leftist (led by Knocked Loose).

only one "revivalcore" band stands out as right wing and that's Kubali Khan TX. sucks too because i used to like them because they had some good anti-cop songs. turns out they are just lolbertarians but their frontman is friends with a fucking nazi so not a good look. so fuck em
