My brother started going bald when he was 18. I still have awesome hair I don’t take care of.

Seeing as how I start with a staff, and it happens to be a particularly excellent staff, can I apply the mono upgrade to the staff instead of having a spear?

I mean it’s technically the same thing, just not pointy.

You mean the, uh, mono upgrade that specifically means that the weapon has a sharp monomolecular edge?

The book says it can be put on blunt weapons!

… with, you know, some justification.

Like, my dude had it drilled into him so hard about the technique of fighting with a staff, that he become so in tune with the weapon he always knew where the tips of the staff where. When he trained to be a Psyker, he was able to focus his psychic power at those points, making it extra effective.

Corruption's definitely been eating them alive.  I've been cautious about calling them a paper tiger, since an asymmetrical war against Ukraine's not the same as a full-scale regional war and they're not fighting it like one, but I dunno.

We've all fucked up, but this is nuts.  An entire battalion destroyed (Some other counts are putting it at over 50 vehicles in the photos, plus doubtless some underwater), probably well over 200 soldiers dead in one engagement, if this happened to the US in one of our asymmetric military adventures I feel like it'd be war-ending from public opinion and political backlash alone.

You’re assuming the Russian news is going to carry this as a story.

If you were a Russian news editor, would you show that?

When is your final?

Micro seems to be willfully ignoring EJ’s point in favour of their own anti-Republican stance, which is fine, Republicans are by and large horrible, but it just bothers me when people argue past someone like that and then expect to be taken seriously by the other party.

Well then let's be more specific here. Step by step. I think EJ's point is that the analogy justifies the republican party's actions because they say that they think abortion is murder, and want to stop murder. Do you agree, and if not, what is their point?

I’m pretty sure I’ve said what I read EJ as saying in every post we’ve made since I called you out:

EJ was saying religious conservatives could use your analogy as justification to cheat because abortion is murder.

EJ was not using it to justify that position.

Do you accept the difference in those two statements?

He’s saying your analogy works for the anti-abortion position as well, that was it

You were the one that didn’t acknowledge that, and then you take it as him supporting the Republican position of being shitty to poor people, even though all he said was your analogy works in a way you didn’t see. Then when he pointed out that all he was saying was your analogy was weak, you essentially call him a Nazi.

Like, wtf dude.

I might at least partially agree with EJ on abortion but he indeed does support being shitty to poor people. He opposes welfare.

That’s not something that could be drawn from EJ’s argument with Micro, which was my point.

Fakedit: I would ignore Micro if I were you EJ; while I don’t like the concept, they’re not engaging with you in good faith.

I’ve not seen them with one.

I also haven’t seen them around for a while, but I frequent only a few threads around here.
