  • Yeah the primarchs do it, and it’s kinda weird. But they are inhuman monsters that have to serve as generals and politicians, so I forgive them.

    When space Marines do it the it’s kinda like how priests refer to each other as brother, but also battle brother is a rank.

    I think it is also there to make things seem more theatric/dramatic. Like just how many books start with a dramatis personae? We’re not reading about people, we’re reading about characters in a space opera. No matter how you look at it, it’s still pretty silly.







  • I wonder if they thought picking Big E to represent trump was ironic or not. Because the emperor made a bunch of mistakes that made everything a whole lot worse for a whole bunch of people. Like this is dystopian fiction we’re talking about.

    The orks are good, but only from their moral lens. Fighting=good, green=good, gits=bad, krumping gits=good. The only reason we think of them is good is because there’s a lot of information on orc psychology, whereas we see the other races as more or less human instead of the aliens that they are.

    Fuck i should help make the Warhammer communities here more active




  • Sabayon Linux. I’m not sure if it’s still releasing updates, the main website is dead. It was based on Gentoo and later funtoo, but had a package manager of precompiled binaries. You could still use emerge if you wanted to. Definitely a weird and interesting distro

    Blend OS is trying to do the declarative nixos thing but with an arch base. That’s pretty cool.

    ClearOS was Intel’s attempt at an immutable os. From what I remember it was really fast.

    Edit: actually it clear Linux not clearOS. Edit: also clear Linux is stateless. I don’t know, there’s a lot about it I don’t understand



  • I’ve heard it called a luxury issue by some. As in an issue that privileged people take up because they already have the privilege of safety and order.

    I mean yeah cops disproportionately target certain groups of people. Their training sucks and has the added bonus of making them trigger happy schizos who see crime and offence where it doesn’t exist. But also I think it’s pretty obvious that there needs to be some sort of law enforcement/peace keeping group.

    Police reform? I can get behind that. Abolishing police? Sounds kinda dumb.


  • Yeah right now I weigh 170, I’m in pretty good shape (would be in better shape if I didn’t injure my foot and could start running again). But for me 180 is overweight? Even if that’s just fat that means my muscles become less visible. Hell it feels like my thighs are bigger now after getting in shape that when I was 180. And I started to look really skinny when I got down to 165.

    I’m sure people would keep calling me skinny at 180. What we need are easier ways to measure body fat percentage. Because it is true that holding onto lots of fat for a long time is what’s bad for you.

    The easiest way to check on body fat percentage right now is just to take weekly pictures of yourself in your underwear. You can see the muscle vs fat pretty well.





  • Guess I should have said, it’s not democratic it’s Republican. And the question being what should legislature represent. I’m curious how the EU works as a governing body, is there proportional representation? Or does each county get an equal vote. Sorry for my ignorance.

    Also yeah John Adams is a bit of a baffoon there.
