Sleep sucks. We should ban sleep, sleeping wastes 8 or so hours of your time. Sleeping is the one thing holding humans back from creating advanced technology, without sleep we could explore the far reaches of the universe. Sleep is also difficult to do, I lay in bed for 3 hours with my eyes still open to get sleep, and in the next day when I wake up I'll be all grouchy, I absolutely despise sleep, when I hear the word sleep I vomit. Sleep is so freaking inefficient that it takes up 36% of our lifetime which is absolutely preposterous.
Nothing in particular, just got interested in the site, it seems you guys are actually better than the larpers in imageboards and more intelligent than the average twitter/facebook "politic fanatic", it seems cool to hang out here
I would say we have better worldviews then them. We play a game where we act as nations against other nations. Where would you say you align politically?
His wife cries after hearing of her husband's death and sings an old poem she was reading about. "Warum so bald, müssen unsere Verwandten so kalt wie Eis fallen. Warum muss der große weise Elefant so bald in seinem Leben getötet werden? Wehe dem großen König, der einst voller Träume gestorben ist." (Why so soon, must our kin fall as cold as ice. Why must the Great wise Elephant be slain so soon in its life. Woe the Great King has fallen dead once rife with dreams.)
Idk, i would say center-right/democratic, but as every argie, i found really interesting how peron enforced the third position here, i know is a dead ideology from the past century and wouldnt work right now, but for the pov here, it was one of the few president who could actually make the whole countrie move towards a common goal
But that is today the main problem, as it made a state so big, that every "peronist" is a corrupt fvck, and so the whole system is probably one of the most corrupts of whole america, and also you cant outvote peronism, imagine that in 70 years there was only a single non-peronist president
Tl;dr im in an internal fight between a democratic centrist and a more right wing dictatorship
This Poem was written after Ragnar the Victorious died in battle after slaying 20 Men in combat. Sure Ragnarr was a Warrior but he was a Cunning, Kind and Wise Ruler as well as a Warrior, a Soldier King.
I have heard. I do not know much about the political situation of Argentina. But I know that you have an interesting situation with Bolivia and Chile over the Lithium Triangle. Peron is a cult of personality much like Stalinism, but I assume you know that. Counties in America have some of the same problems. A counties political party doesn't have much influence over anything in the grand scheme of things. But in my county, there is a family that has high ranks in both sides of the political spectrum and they essentially handpick our state representatives and state senators. And I know it is like that in other places in my state. Which is a Republican Majority, and I would say I am a Republican.
We have a representative who has been in there for 20 years and has not done anything beneficial for us. We had one that ran, who I actively helped during the campaign that had many great ideas and brought a solar company into our county bringing in hundreds of jobs. And being rural America these are great high-paying jobs, the likes of which we probably are not going to see again for a minute. Sadly, he didn't win. Which is why many people in our county are now mad at both political parties.
EDIT: There has been a strongly worded letter sent to the State's Republican and Democratic Parties asking for them to look into the situation. EDIT 2: There is more information than what has been included.
We try to stay off of IRL Politics, they usually devolve into drama, sooo... We shall not talk about it.
The new wisconsin empire
very surreal, the only president I really remember is Obama and he was very formal in comparison to trump who is very, off the cuff in comparison. the transition was like watching someone preform a speech in a tux, then suddenly strip down to reveal shorts and a T-shirt. at least that how it looked like from my veiw
I think he has done a good job. But he has defiantly made some bad decisions. I am a Trump supporter, but I do not follow everything he has done. I feel he built the economy up a lot, just to have the coronavirus tear it down. But in the grand scheme of things. I have noticed nothing different, at least for me and my state. Under him then under President Obama.
With the Kilkirian Fleet gaining one of what may be their only chances to escape near total annihilation, Vice Admiral Connor McCarthy-the new defacto leader of the fleet-will not let the sad, decimated ruins of a Levantine fleet cost Kilkire this war. He orders his ships to reorganize into an offensive position. While he realizes this full on meeting of the enemy task force will be costly, the Admiral knows he cannot risk the enemy being able to reorganize. Or worse, reinforce. So, the half of the Kilkirian fleet facing Sword advances, facing their guns directly at the weaker force. They send barrage after barrage of shells as the two fleets rapidly approach one another. The skies are dotted with dog fights and naval bombers fighting desperately for superiority. Under the waves, the Kilkiran subs-numerically superior to their Levatine adversaries-have two jobs. The first, to hold off their advance towards the Kilkirian fleet. The second, to slip a few subs past, in the hopes of harassing the Levantine fleet from below.
The other half of the fleet is tasked with facing the Hammer task force, and holding them off until the Sword task force is either destroyed, or in an all out rout. This however, proved to be a near impossible task with their current positions. With the Levantine fleet at the perfect angle to destroy or incapacitate almost the entire fleet, they make the decision to fall backwards, as rapidly as they could without breaking their defenses. While in the long run, this decision would likely save the fleet from immediate destruction, the time before and during the retreat proved to be extraordinarily costly in lives. After the ships had successfully fallen back, they had counted a loss of over a third of their vessels. Now that they were in a better position, they were better able to cover their flanks, and were out of range of many enemy guns. They knew they were not going to be able to defeat the Hammer fleet alone. But they knew they didn't have to. When the war broke out, the entirety of the Interiorem Fleet was sent to Levantin to prevent the enemy from securing the waves before the designated task force could arrive. However, the task force was still coming. But until then... All they can do is try and survive.
With only three more carriers left in action thus far, the enemy missile strike was seen as the upmost threat. However, this time the Kilkirians arguably had the upper hand. Now, the missiles were focus on three targets instead of one, meaning less for each carrier to deal with. Their targets were now also notably smaller, making them harder to hit, and mobile as they move with their fleets. Not only this, but the naval command having already seen the lengths the Levantine forces were willing to go to. Were preparing for such an eventuality with the remaining three carriers. All of these factors combined coalesced into the Kilkirians having a much better 'hand' then before. With CIWS guns already at standby, and fighters patrolling the skies, many close calls occurred. One of these even managed to damage a carrier, while still short of taking it out of the fight, the ship was nonetheless significantly weakened.
Desert Skies
With the war continuing to escalate, larger and larger quantities of bombers are flown into the airports of northern Nua Connorland to support the raids of the Levantine mainland. Even with casualty numbers at unusually high standings, the Kilkirian air force continues to order strikes against enemy positions. This however, is specified to specifically air strips, ports, and general AA and SAM defenses. Even long range air superiority fighters begin making appearances in hopes of lessening the death toll.
OOC: Sorry if I was power-gaming, I hope this post is better.
Im currently viewing a course in udemy about corruption, it a very recent scheme and i guess it is glowing as a concern in every country, but for the american case, i find it very shocking how aristocratic is the inside of both big political party, viewing how hillary won over sanders, it shined corruption. At least here, our corrupt politicians dont lie about it and enforce whatever they want without trying to cover it (cristina, our "vice" fvcking killed a man who had proof of her involved in a terrorist attack and she flexed in front of the court saying "you cant judge me, history will do)
But i guess it will ger better eventually, tech is on our side for making things more transparent and the whole politic spectrum is shifting against corruption
