I’m playing far cry 2 with redux+ realism and I’m amazed by the level of immersion and sense of control I have over my time with it. The mod fully disables all in-game features to assist the players availing to navigate the map meaning your paper map and some screens showcasing your location is all you get to figure out where to go. I’ve navigated my way through several missions off my own accord, having to learn to be patient with outposts, run the fuck away from anything that looks like trouble and fight with barely any ammo is such a unique experience you can’t create in so many games. The world itself even without mods is beautiful and every hour I spend playing makes me feel like I’m genuinely apart of it, something you wouldn’t typically get from a non roleplaying game.

My BFF Josif called me because he wanted to meet at the safehouse, took a bus to the desert and made my way to the meeting. On my way there I cleaned a small outpost where I found some info relating to previous guy send to kill Jackal (pre-order or XBox exclusive or something like that bonus mission). Also found golden AK, but didnt even had a chance to try it out, as I swapped it with grenade launcher from Josifs safehouse. Cleaned the nearby hacienda on his orders, convince guy there to give spec-ops team coordinates to nearby shanty town, clean up shanty town, run to Josif rescue, accidently blow him with with grenade launcher (yet again). Took a bus back to Pala.

And thats enough Far Cry 2 for me for foreseeable future, as I am out of gaming time-budget.

Woke up, went to Mike's bar, picked up a quest to retrieve some sort of box from the woman there. Hopefully that will make her my new buddy, as there is an open position since Josif died. Took a bus to north-western corner of the map. Picked a buggy and less than 30 seconds later managed to get in stuck on a rock, so had to continue on foot.

First encounter on my journey to the derelict train-yard containing the box was a safehouse, surprisingly already unlocked, didnt have to fight anyone there. Next detected a diamond box next to enemy road checkpoint, sneaked in, took diamonds, sneaked out, no fighting required.
Short way from there met a lone soldier on a lookout, stabbed him in the back with machete, attracted a car with a single enemy inside, dispatched him no problem. Then I got shot point-blank with double-barreled shotgun by the first guy, who turns out survived the machete strike and was bleeding out on the ground. Gunshots must have alerted sniper somewhere, couldnt locate him so I just legged it. Found another guy on a lookout, on the elevated position near road checkpoint, wanted to sneak up on him but he noticed me and had to shoot. Ran into hiding, killed his two buddies who were investigating the gunshots, attracted guy with a machinegun from god knows where who got a jump on me and almost killed me. Rest of the journey to train yard was uneventful, barring single patrol car I blew up with grenade launcher before they even noticed me. Right now I am stalking the yard, there are some good camping locations around, but I have no medkits left, so I am gonna just turn around and scavenge some before attempting frontal assault.

Less about the parasocial more about the signal.

Not videos. This is a chance for you to educate yourself while working, doing chores or exercising.

I'll go first. This episode of politics theory other was memorable because it made me reconsider the intersection of sex and politics, particularly as someone who sees themselves as becoming more skeptical about everything surrounding idpol as it's being co-opted and weaponized.

It includes a close reading of brand new less redacted transcripts of the testimony of James Jesus Angleton from the 1975 Church Commitee Hearings. This is the guy who on his deathbed admitted that they thought they were kings of the world and admitted that he was going to hell. Not much consolation to Indonesian communists.

GTA VI they're renaming Florida "Leonida" to fictionalize it further. Which is weird. I mean it's consistent with San Andreas being a fictional state, and all those other fictional Midwest states they made up for Red Dead Redemption II, but at the same time, when Vice City came out in 2002, Florida was just called "Florida" in that game. Numerous references to "Florida" over the radio. If Rockstar is going to make a totally fictionalized Burgerpunk America, they should just go all out and make an entire fictional country already, like Eagleland in Earthbound.

That being said: the Marines' replacement is just a modern H&K, not significantly different. The XM-8 and others looked cool, but it has severe overheating issues when firing and it doesn't appear to be very modular, meaning any jamming or need to clean the weapon is going to be problematic. Electronic sights are also pretty temperamental at the moment.

I worked with EA; we were putting together a deal where they were taking bailout money from the banks in the last financial crisis that we had, and they were applying that cheap money towards games, same thing with Covid money. They're applying that cheap money towards games, and what has been the cheapest money while interest rates were still low, you know a couple of years ago it was ESG financing, and so they're going to take this money."

Thread to talk about drone warfare in general.

There are many ways drones can be used but I would like to talk about their potential use in protests and riots in the west.

In my experience something that is sorely lacking in protests going wild is intelligence about police postions, while the bad guys usually have a QG with plenty of operators gathering and distributing intelligence to police officers trough cameras, helicopters and, you guessed it, drones.

So, what's keeping us from using drones? Those for kids which are 50 bucks on amazon could do the trick, it would take a team of two, one pilot and one operative relaying intel trough a phone or a radio to someone in the front of the protest.

I know there are anti drone weapons, but they don't work that well and these aren't well established yet. In case of capture though it's good to prevent or render difficult a trace, so it would be smart to buy those drones trough proxies and false adresses, and scratch whatever number they have on them.

Recently the US Army has accepted the Leonidas Microwave system as an experimental, Microwave based anti-drone weapon.

However there's already a way found around it - a layer of copper around the drone blocks the directed electro-magnetic pulse from disrupting the drone by 100 times.

There's an interesting video by Mark Rober that he just released that covers this and other anti-drone measures as well as stuff he and his friends came up with. His ad for a robot-constructor product he made is also actually informative as to the current states of autonomous systems and how EASY it would be to make autonomous turrets a la Aliens.

The Mini-gun armed Mojave drone has been successfully tested in CAS trials recently. It kinda reminded me of the Hunter-Killer drones from Terminator (yes that's been brought up before ITT, it's relevant given the advent of AI). The drone aspect is the only new part of this, despite the hype about the Mini-gun equipped DAP-6 system, it's not new either.

- The US DoD published its first National Defense Industrial Strategy report, detailing major problems preventing America from mobilizing its industry to out-compete Russia and China;
- Most problems identified by the report stem from the DoD's dependence on private industry, yet private industry itself was never identified as a problem;
- The foreign and domestic policy is based on profit-driven prioritizing, creating industry that pursues profits at the cost of fulfilling that industry's role in providing goods and services for society;
- Russia and China maintain massive state-owned enterprises not only to manufacturing arms and ammunition, but also downstream suppliers for providing raw materials and goods;

Arestovich's rather insightful analysis of the tactical reasons Ukraine's counter-offensive not only did not achieve results but failed catastrophically.
TL;DR: Battalion Tactical Group retards BTFO by Soviet large-scale combined arms doctrine.

>aTranslated Interview START

1. - Avdiivka was stormed by three Russian armies + a tank division*.
These are permanent units with a unified logistics and management system.
With us, everything above the brigade is assembled management bodies.

2. We saw elements of operational camouflage when creating a grouping/outfit of forces.
Deception and cunning are in the best traditions of the Red Army.

3. Massing of forces and means.
The Russians are strengthening the artillery capabilities of their formations and associations - even before the creation of artillery brigades as part of the combined arms army.
The number of cabs used is growing every month.
In the Avdiivka defense area, 250 units arrived in one day.

There's a lot of unusual weapons used in this war, but I think this one is kinda strange despite logically making sense. It's a heavy (4 tons!) anti-ship missile made to sink the largest ships like Aircraft Carriers from long range in a single hit, so it's not really made for ground targets.

It's become widely reported as of April 25th (2024) that the Abrams tanks sent to Ukraine have been withdrawn from the front-lines after several have been taken out in a row.

Recently a video appeared of a BMP-2M belonging to the Pskov Paratroopers crossing a field and taking a ton of hits; 2 FPV drone strikes, a hit from an RPG and a barrage of cluster munitions. More than likely some small-arms fire too. The only injuries was the commander getting concussed.

The BMP 1 and 2, despite obviously having units destroyed in combat due to the heavy combat environment and already old vehicles, have demonstrated themselves as survivable and good vehicles for their purpose despite armchair mockery. Another BMP-2M earlier in the war was hit by multiple RPGs of different types (AT-4, RPG-7, etc.) after being immobilized by an ATGM. This situation is seen from both Russian drone footage and from body-cam footage from an early Civ Div video, (the one where he and his unit commit war-crimes by killing a surrendering enemy after offering surrender).

One of the Leopard 2s destroyed by Russia and captured has been seen taken from the front lines. It's a 1999 model Leo-2A6 that had been immobilized by a mine and taken out at Avdeevka. The Russian MoD decided to place it on display after repairing it. It will take its place next to its Tiger ancestor. Abrams, Stryker and Challenger II are next.

Honestly I think I've undersold the importance of the M1150 being taken out and now captured. Russia's Soviet mine-clearing vehicles are certainly effective, but the M1150 is actually a pretty damn good mine-clearer, with line-charges on top of having regular mine-rollers, dozers and EM-detonators installed. Very few were made relative to the USA's tank forces, and very few were used, so Ukraine's version were likely not too far from the current US standards. Russia not only took one out but captured it, which means they can actively study the vehicle and improve their own mine-clearing vehicles, which is important given just how impactful mine-fields have been in this war.

Thread for hating on the F-35 "Lightning II" stealth turkey a.k.a the most expensive military project in history to date.

The USAF declared it ready for service in 2016
As of that date the following problems I can list just off the top of my head
- Vulnerable to lightning; it's practically a lightning rod https://archive.is/QSIii
- 0 redundancies in the cyber or mechanical aggregates; any malfunction
- RADAR glitches means it literally ahs to be turned off and on again https://archive.ph/EEd9y
- Ejection seat is banned for anyone 136 pounds or below and anyone not above 150 pounds has significant injury risk, it literally can break your neck.
- F-35 helmets glow too brightly for air-to-air refueling https://archive.is/pKE0Y
- F-35 helmets are so heavy at nearly 5 kilograms so that maneuvers cause them to bang their heads on the inside of the cockpit https://archive.ph/WsRxA https://archive.ph/dE1gP
(keep in mind these helmets are 400,000 dollars each).
- The oxygen system is unreliable (something that the F-22 shares) https://archive.ph/kGGKq

The Plane was supposed to be ready by 2010-12 having been projected in the early 2000s
the list of problems in its past and that are remaining in various levels of urgency number over 800.

Ah yes, just like they 'coordinated' their F-35s to cause AD to hit an Il-20M instead of them because they only let the Russian military know about their strikes on Latakia a minute before? Fuck off. And that's not to mention several other strikes that were done without giving Russia proper notice.

Finally I repeat - that's Russia's military, not Syria's, while they may be allied and linked, they are not one and the same, nor dow the latter control the former.

An F-35B Accidentally Shot Itself With A Gatling Gun
https://wonderfulengineering.com/an-f-35b-accidentally-shot-itself-with-a-gatling-gun/
>March didn’t start well for the U.S air force when a much costly air incident took place. F-35B stealth, the most expensive fighter jet ever built to date, accidentally shot itself while flying over Arizona’s skies.
>A single unit of an F-35B costs around $135.8 million, so at first, an aircraft’s accident doesn’t sound appealing at all. The aircraft had an externally mounted Gatling gun discharge a 25mm armor cutting explosive round into itself, leaving the aircraft with damage of approximately $2.5 million, as confirmed by the military officials.
<The Marine Corps’ F-35B carries the GAU-22 differently differently than the Air Force’s -A version. Unlike the -A aircraft, which mounts the GAU-22 inside the aircraft at the base of the left side wing root, the -B mounts the gun in a separate gun pod mounted to the airplane’s belly. This design change was due to a weight issue caused by the need to make the -B version capable of vertical takeoffs and landings. The Marines can leave the gun off the aircraft to reduce weight when necessary.
LMAO, this is literally a repetition of the F-4 Phantom not having integrated guns like in Vietnam, and using gun-pods to make up for it until the newer models came in.
>The F-35B stealth aircraft was performing a nigh time air support mission, while during its flight, the aircraft exploded a round of fire in a self-attack scenario. Fortunately, the pilot managed to land the super-costly aircraft to the ground, but the damage done isn’t at low either.
>It was a Class-A accident, as termed by the officials, directing towards a minimum of $2.5 million of loss or the aircraft’s complete inability to make it to the skies ever again.
Such superior American engineering. Just imagine a scenario of these scrap heaps doing an air attack on Iran or The DPRK and just get their Gatling guns hacked to shoot itself.

A lot of sources talk about how the F-22 and F-35 have 0.001 or 0.0001 or even 0.00001 m2 RCS (RADAR Cross Section). This is misleading at best, and straight up false at most. I'm going to write an effort-post on this particular myth of stealth-aircraft, one that Russia itself acknowledges, which is why it doesn't claim absurd RCS numbers like this.

Considering the increasing Iran-Israel relations (or rather, lack thereof) throughout Spring of 2024, there's a possibility that the Su-35SE (export Su-35S's) of Iran will face off against the F-35i of the Israelie Air-Force. The Israeli's have some advantages, but only stealth is something the F-35 is superior in. Armament, flight-characteristics and so on are on the side of the Sukhoi, and the F-35's stealth is not invisibility, and Iran hasn't been idly standing by ignoring those capabilities. The only REAL difference is that Israeli pilots have more experience, but even then, it's been decades since the IAF has had a proper air to air opponent and striking ground targets is not the same as a dogfight, and BVR is by no means a guaranteed hit.

"Determined" by Robert Sapolsky challenges fundamental notions of human agency and free will, delving into the intricate web of causality that shapes human behavior. In this thought-provoking exploration, Sapolsky navigates the complex terrain of neuroscience, genetics, and psychology to argue that our actions are deeply rooted in biological and environmental influences, leaving little room for the traditional concept of free will.

Sapolsky's examination of determinism holds particular relevance to leftist thought, which often emphasizes systemic analysis and critiques of established power structures. By dismantling the notion of individual agency as traditionally understood, Sapolsky's work aligns with leftist critiques of neoliberalism and meritocracy, which often attribute social and economic inequalities to structural factors rather than personal responsibility.

Moreover, Sapolsky's emphasis on the role of luck and circumstance in shaping human outcomes resonates with leftist critiques of capitalism's inherent injustices and unequal distribution of opportunities. From a leftist perspective, Sapolsky's argument underscores the need for collective responsibility and societal interventions to address systemic inequalities and create a more equitable world.

Furthermore, Sapolsky's humane approach to grappling with the implications of determinism aligns with leftist values of compassion and solidarity. His advocacy for forgiveness and understanding in the face of moral dilemmas reflects a commitment to empathy and social justice, principles that are central to many leftist movements.

In conclusion, "Determined" offers a compelling exploration of free will that intersects with key themes and concerns of leftist thought, making it a relevant and thought-provoking read for those interested in understanding the complexities of human behavior within broader socio-political contexts.

Bait but I'll respond seriously anyway. The reason Taylor Swift is so successful is because her music is first of all unchallenging even within her genre. It is secondly because Taylor Swift writes banal pop music that appeals to equally banal cis, straight, middle class, under 40, white women of America (a very large demographic indeed). These Swifties likely project onto her and imagine their completely average lives as more glamorous, affluent, and cinematic than they really are.

Will there ever be an alternative video platform that matches its ability to let you regularly put out content to a large audience?
Vimeo comes close but you have to pay to exceed the limits and the audience is definitely more limited.

With most phones not having a microSD slot or even an audio jack these days you'd think projects like Rockbox would be more popular but it's almost abandoned.

This post inspired me to dig out the old ipod nano 2g I have in a drawer. I want something small with nice buttons that I can use for language drills. Rockbox consistently crashes or hangs when trying to play audio. The vanilla firmware is flawless and I would happily use it but for the fact that it requires itunes. Back in the drawer it goes. An Android phone is the lesser of two evils here and is the reason that Rockbox died a decade ago.

it's because music streaming completely killed dedicated audio players obviously. not only that but phones carry like 1TB ootb that's a lot more than the 256GB we were used to back in the day, so it's completely irrelevant technology. if you have specific audiofile needs and an aversion to spotify, you'd be spending your cash on a plex box and plexamp on your phone.

>phones carry like 1TB ootb
fucking which ones? all the phones with good specs have like 128-256 gigs with absolutely no room for extra storage to force you to rely on streaming and cloud garbage

like every flagship lol wdym. even dirt cheap chinese phones have 256gb storage wtf lol, i use a fucking rooted poco as a dedicated media player it was a hundred bucks and that has 256gb, it's too bad that flagships dont have additional sd card storage like that one does, i'll give you that

ON THE NETORARE QUESTION BY MARX KARL

i would like to adress the reactionary monster, anime cuck porn, also known as netorare, how NTR is an absolutely terrible hentai category. It's almost worse than Gore, in my opinion.

The whole premise of Netorare is first and foremost, unfaithfulness, treason, in both reading materials and animations, the story always follow the same line, that there's this really good guy who has a beautiful girlfriend who cheats on him with someone who's usually an asshole, a rich scumbag, fucking hideous both in face and body, two of these things, or all three at the same time. And it makes no logical sense whatsoever. First of all, the really kind and emotional guy walking in on a beautiful girl he loves getting fucked by an ugly guy is completely nonsensical. In reality, relationships are complex, and if cheating or infidelity does happen, it’s not as shown in NTR, where the girl cheats with a guy who is 1000% of the time an asshole or an ugly fucker to the extreme, FUCK!, of all the men to cheat on her husband with, and she goes for the asshole in every hentai? Why would she actively choose to go for an ugly asshole to cheat with in the first place? Cuz he has a big dick? Cuz she's an asshole too? To hurt her husband even more? Or maybe it’s because the writers hates us? It's both misogynistic AND misandristic in that it portrays all women as assholes who prefer huge cocks over the good-looking and kind fellas they already fell in love with, and it portrays men that are emotional as weak and foolish while portraying the other men as ugly dickholes. Nobody wins here! Everyone is a bad person!

And why would you as a man jerk off to this? I want the women to listen to me as well, I will get to you in the next page, The Young Hegelian fuckers tell me always not to kinkshame nobody, however, I am here to do so.

what is it you like about netorare? What makes you self insert? If you want to live your sick fantasy and you’re inserting as the man who gets cucked, why is it you want your partner badly to cheat on you, and have both your girl and the asshole mock you? And if you actively want to seduce a woman and fuck her behind her man’s back, then why? Are you an asshole? Would you want this to happen to a girl you love? And if you’re just excited by the idea of a taboo setting where there is breaking of bonds and the excitment of fucking behind the cucked partener’s back,Post too long.

Rakujitsu no Pathos is a cute ecchi manga that's basically one long ntr about a mangaka seducing his ex high school teacher after she marries an older man and settles down next door to him as a frustrated housewife.

It's worse, it's irrelevant moral outrage pretending to be a deep political issue. If it was just a thread crying about a porn genre without the pop psych pseud pretense it would be much better, or less bad rather.

YOULL NEVER SEE ME AROUND TOWN, WITHOUT FIRST SEEING MY EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA LARGE BLUE SUIT COAT AND MATCHING PANTS WITH ME

TAILORED USING THE FINEST THREADED PSEUDO FABRIC, MY SUIT IS BUILT TO LAST AND LOOK GOOD WHILE DOING IT

JUST LOOK HOW WITH ONE SQUAT, MY PANTS AREN'T SMASHED TO BITS

EVEN RAISING MY ARMS FOR JUMPING JACKS DOESN'T HURT MY SUIT

ANCIENT TAILORS KNEW THAT PROPER OUTFITS REQUIRED PROPER CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND MY COLD STEEL XXXL DARK BLUE ENSEMBLES TAKEN THAT PHILOSOPHY TO HEART

WATCH WITH ONE BEND, MY SHOELACES GET TIED TO BITS, EFFORTLESSLY

EVEN WITH A CONTRASTING TIE, MY SUIT LOOKS THE BEST, BECAUSE IT IS THE BEST

YOU'LL NEVER BE CEO, WITHOUT YOUR COLD STEEL SUIT COAT AND MATCHING PANTS WITH YOU
