They say people had fun in Daggerfall.

We have to nuke something

Or send nukes from the Moon to silence the Internet, it was a mistake

Being a continuation of England more or less, you’ve got more. Especially since those democratic traditions were pretty English in the beginning.

Some appreciation for the Hezbollah please, they know that and they don’t care

The issue is that we believe we have a free democracy when the only power we have is to put an X in a box every few years.

Right.

WDYM, Hitler was pretty friendly with German oligarchy. No suiciding them or something, their relationships were pretty chill, having fun together, going to countryside, going to each other with families, having coffee.

They are elite. Not in quotes. The fact that they remain an elite and will remain an elite under Trump shows us that they are not losers and they don’t lose.

They didn’t lose control over DNC, that’s what they care about, perpetual real power over half the politics in one big country, not temporary and limited power over all of it.

In this case they have also shown Trump and anybody else that they are a very convenient opposition, that should remain as it is. It’s a win.

But you’re the guys who flew to the Moon, invented nukes and the Internet. You’ll think of something.

Age caps are good.

A rating voting system would be good too.

But I don’t think there won’t be younger people with the same kind of hubris.

I know about WWII. About today - it’s interesting.

OK. TIL.

I meant that every bearded urchin has an FPV drone in addition to his AK, and will drop a grenade from that FPV drone from beyond the range of small arms.

What targets? In modern war you’ll very rarely see an enemy combatant in the range of usual small arms.

Standard combat roles, ahem, are not about small arms today. They are about FPVs and small artillery.

Disney stuff doesn’t count for me.

The “Death Star” novel does.

It would make sense even without the Force, because yes, we’ve seen that the targeting computer doesn’t work.

This is what’s good with Star Wars too, the Force can be replaced with something like stoic philosophy without the rest of the story imploding.

Like I said, balance of power and internal consistency.

I was thinking of the Bothan pilot in Wraith Squadron books (SW again, the less consistent part of it). 12 X-Wings drop out of hyperspace approaching a planet. One of the pilots is able to spend no more than 5 minutes to find out some pretty specific shit from governmental archives of that planet, listen to encrypted communications of the Imperials, whatever.

It’s worse than the Elder Wand in HP.

In one episode they find some kid’s password protected laptop. The super hacker goes “oh no, I can’t hack that. It’s running Anti-Hack OS! We need the password”. The password ends up being plain text password that a brute force dictionary attack could break in seconds.

Well, that’s right. Thinking to install Anti-Hack OS is something only that kid can do. The govt is too stoopid.

3 things should match for this to happen like in the movies:

occasion, ability and need.

Two of these can happen at the same time, all three - I dunno.
