If I had an argument for this issue, it would be based around not tearing down established culture for the sake of appeasing Satan doing so. Sacrificing men to defend women is the way our society has worked for thousands of years, and I don't see any compelling reason to go through all the pain and agony of a cultural shakedown just to change that. Interestingly, the thong-biters have decided to scour the concepts of glory and honor first, leaving men a bunch of listless, disenfranchised layabouts, since that was the justification for them doing anything in the first place. So one wouldn't send a woman into combat except as a last resort, just the same as one wouldn't gobble down the afterbirth of their firstborn child as a rite of vitality and long life. Our culture doesn't accept that, and it's nobody's business to tear down what's already been built and isn't broken. If I had an argument, I said. I don't, because I too ride this suicide-sled of ancestors' bones down the great crumbling hill of progress, just like everyone else.

Memo Kosemen is a Turkish paleoartist, speczoo creative artist, and professional Weird Guy of Geigerian proportions, who is also known as nemo-ramjet online.. This thread is for appreciation of his mad, phallus-obsessed genius. First, we'll start with this excellent Facebook post:

Huzzah for happy accidents!

Oh yeah, people have been donning black robes and prostrating themselves before statues of Baphomet for ages, but it's a matter of degree. There are some very serious things wrong with the scientific community, and there are people who have been alive long enough to remember when things weren't so bad. I'm certainly not going to tell them they're worried about nothing, certainly not when I see similar effects myself.

Hmmm? No, the one on the right very definitely is DBP-10. The DBP-10 jacket is made from the H90 gilding metal alloy, which that bullet has. The confusion was over the other cartridge in the original source of that image, which is probably DBP-88, but I'm not sure.

Jeeps, WTF did you do!? -
Khand, looks like you made a mistake. I'm fairly certain the bullet on the right in this picture is actually DBP-10, please confirm/deny: The two on the left are clearly DBP-87, but the ones on the right are consistent with the diagrams I've seen for the DBP-10. I was under the impression that the -88 was something else entirely.

I'll give you another example: Climate science. Alright, hold on a second, hear me out. I'm not a climatologist, and therefore I'm not qualified to comment on any technical details of climate science. Aside from all that, climate science has become so politically polarized that even asking people to explain what all this global warming stuff is about and expressing confusion over statements that appear to conflict or gel poorly to the novice eye will get you immediately treated as a persona non grata even in supposedly serious scientific circles. It's ridiculously polarizing because it's been politicized. Whatever is actually going on, this isn't a scientifically enriching environment.

"Anasazi" is not PC anymore because it's too easily confused with "Ashkenazi", which is too easily confused with "Actual Nazi". QED, Anasazis were Nazis. Checkmate, sociologists.

Oh sure. That's less like "asserting your authority" than it is throwing a bunch of used condoms all over the place and saying "see, this is my bedroom!", though.

Oh, the Philippines, you so crazy. Could someone please explain to me how deliberately running a ship aground and then filling it with personnel on five-month isolated shifts like some sort of bizarre post-apocalyptic carnival is "asserting your authority" over an area?

Long nights on TS with T___A and Unstart have got me looking for the worst in peoples' hovels. Nice placemat, though. -
Soviet Atomic Program
Sturgeon replied to Priory_of_Sion's topic in Dr. Strangelove's Nuclear Palace
I don't know that it's accurate to call dismissal of Soviet technology a "McCarthyism". McCarthy seemed genuinely worried about the Soviets as a threat. Indeed, the Soviets at large made the Americans feel pretty insecure about their ideology and way of life for some time. I think the "all Soviet stuff is copied crap" comes later. Not sure, though. -

Anybody know how we can prevent that here? -

Maybe. Interestingly, apparently last-gen console architecture is so screwy they're having a hard time emulating that, even though PCs today are many times more powerful than either the 360 or PS3 (both of which have about half a gig of RAM). -

I have seen Damian on Tnet, but he is apparently renowned as a shitpoaster elsewhere. What's the scoop on him? -
