If the events of Jurasic Park were real, I wouldnt have given up after the first park went wrong.

I would have done a post activity report to identify what went wrong, instituted some Kaizen management practices, and had the new park ISO 9001 certified to reassure the.public.

@ChoujinVirus @LillithHighHope @Capanga00 All those things are possible without the Dark Gods. We know this because the Eldar felt pleasure before the existence of Slaneesh. They were able to enjoy life without the God that instantly drinks their soul's upon death. Their existence makes life worse.

@LillithHighHope @Capanga00 Tzeentch is the closest thing the Chaos Gods have to morally neutral because he supports ambition, and even then a universe run by him is a universe that requires an absence of trust because backstabbing for personal gain is his favourite thing.

@LillithHighHope @Capanga00 One of them likes violence for its own sake. One fills you with rot. One wants everyone to plot against everyone else. And one puts you on a hedonistic treadmill till you take pleasure from horrible acts.

Cruelty is a means to an end to the Emp. Cruelty is the end for the CG.

@silenc306 @Capanga00 The craftworld Eldar and exodites aren't too grimdark. They can stay if they don't invite their cousins.

Also but for the 10,000 years of imperial decay, the Imperium would be able to fly swat the Tyranids.

I hope SAlt surpasses the Greens just so they have to pretend they aren't bothered by it. Fuck it. Lab-SAlt coalition.

[Damon @only2lurk]

The descent into anti-intellectual politics is going to to be terrible for everyone, but witnessing the long awaited death knells of the majors, only for the Greens to still poll in the 9-12% range is a very funny gag.

@MarkGottlieb There is no actual prohibition against it. It is just a long standing convention.

Besides, she could easily be parachuted into an electorate like the last time this happened.

Nothing about the politics of the last 10 years has been conventional. Australia or otherwise.

@_colourmeamused @lions_by It received the highest honour a tank can receive: An alt-history upgrade you can unlock in Hearts of Iron IV on the New Zealand focus tree.

[Damon @only2lurk]

You can't make me care about the engineering and practical problems with the idea: the world deserves a tank with two 155mm guns side by side.

[Damon @only2lurk]

@_colourmeamused I want to be clear that in my household we respect the Bob Semple tank for being something that could be practically manufactured with domestically available materials and we respect Semple's innovative design within those constraints.

[Damon @only2lurk]

@_colourmeamused Oh my God! The corrugated plating. The multiple portholes. It even has a swivel turret!

[Damon @only2lurk]

@_colourmeamused Or this West German attempt which is neither practical for the battlefield nor aesthetic enough to be a propaganda tool.

[Damon @only2lurk]

@_colourmeamused Funnily enough, a vertical concept (though not independently rotating) design has been field tested by the Russians for self propelled artillery.

[Damon @only2lurk]

Paradox player discovers ethno-religous groups weren't monoliths and people of the past also sought wealth and power at the expense of "their own" people.

Muslim and Christian merchants usually got along quite well.

[ي @finestlibyan]

Honestly if the reality that Saladin had to fight Muslims before fighting the Crusaders makes you “uncomfortable”, you probably shouldn’t be reading history.

Stick to Marvel movies or whatever.

@CantEverDie Hyperbolic. The market for gold and silver is gigantic. A small move makes a giant change to a theoretical number. It has barely nudged price wise.

@MattZeitlin I hope you're not slandering Ramses II. If you are, guard your tongue.
