@DancesWithDoors Painted this a long time ago but it's still one of my favs. Sergeant Ranga is not - and I can't emphasise this enough - pleased with all the disloyalty going on.

@RonniSalt @geofflangdale I think many criticising this policy are genuinely doing so to help Shoebridge and the country. There are still some nuanced people out there, even on X.
This silly policy pushes more people onto the other bus, which is not a good bus. Please stop doing that, David.

@knowlesslayer Thing is
the Imperium is a xenophobic religio-fascist regime, conquering the galaxy and all its races because they believe in the fundamental primacy of humanity.
Tyranids are just hungry.

@Lorgarwasright2 I was hoping for Ciaphas Cain, but I'll take Grammaticus.

@grok Some For You posts, from accounts I don't follow, don't show the Not Interested option. Why?
How can I signal the algo for this content? Mute/block only apply to the specific user.

Hey @grok how can I teach X that just because I have an interest in military aviation and milsims, I have no interest in the flood of US gun porn, random public violence and paramilitary influencers I get in my feed? X needs a NOPE button next to the like.

@niemerg You're going to need a log scale to get musicians in on the right hand side

@GHBSmith Well at this point after 137 hours, I can't see myself going harder in S2 so it's mostly low level gear for me.
I've had basically no use out of long rifle or SAW unlocks as I don't play that way.
Otherwise all sub-20 stuff is pretty useful. Including C4!

@Velion build big useless but tough fob > flip it to the enemy > shell it while getting logi bonus for supplying the shells > profit

[radsy ☮️ @radsy_au]

@AirwingMarine Apologies if I've missed sarcasm or an inside joke here but... they are now enemy structures. Why should you lose money or have it considered TKing?

This was a bug or design issue. They fixed it. The streamer exploited the fix.

What am I missing?

[radsy ☮️ @radsy_au]

@DavidCoggeshall I'd rather be flying it than pointing a phone at it in this situation

[radsy ☮️ @radsy_au]

I don't know why this is even being questioned

Leftover soup needs to go into a round container because soup is round.

i won't be explaining

[radsy ☮️ @radsy_au]

The mechanic: depositing ammo to a fob grants cash for mortar hits/kills by that fob

The exploit: building a pointless but tough megabase, flipping it to the enemy, then mortaring it for profit

Temp ban is perfectly justified. Shrieks for permabans and gendered attacks are not

[WARDOGS @WARDOGS]

@KatieRouu @Brammflakes We made it clear that known cash & xp exploit abuse will no longer be tolerated.

These punishments will stand. This decision is final.

[radsy ☮️ @radsy_au]

@mhartl Right? It reads a lot like sour grapes. Either the work is correct when tested, or it isn't. Every mathematician built their knowledge on the work of others.

[radsy ☮️ @radsy_au]

@GHBSmith They knew they were exploiting, temp bans are fine.

Don't be too eager for insta permabans for gameplay exploits though, especially in EA. As WD grows, only high profile streamers will get fair review. Little guys will get invisibly commissared.

Actual cheaters can burn though

A Statement of Conscience on October 7

I will not start by saying ‘as a Muslim’ or ‘as an imam’, but as a human being.

On October 7, over 1,200 innocent people were killed in a single day. Families were shot in their homes. Young people out dancing were hunted across open fields. Over 250 people, including children and the elderly, were dragged into Gaza as hostages. I think of a mother hiding in a safe room with her baby’s mouth covered. I think of a father listening as the line went quiet. I think of families who waited month after month for someone to come home, only to receive a coffin. I didn’t need my faith to recognize the evil of what happened. My heart told me first.

But I’m a Muslim and an imam, and I owe the world one honest sentence: what was done that day was a crime against God. God teaches that whoever kills one innocent soul, it is as if he had killed all humanity.

This day has an author: Yahya Sinwar. He planned it, ordered it, and knew what would follow. Every death of that day and war he started rests on him and Hamas leaders who sat in tunnels and foreign hotels and called slaughter a victory. It rests on every Palestinian leader who cheered, excused, handed out sweets, or said nothing. They chose this. They own it.

But Sinwar did not invent himself. He was the fruit of a tree planted almost a century ago by the Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas named itself in its founding charter as the Brotherhood’s branch in Palestine. The Brotherhood’s poison is slow. It arrives through study circles, youth camps, charity boxes, and kind words to lonely young men. Drop by drop, it teaches him that his religion is a political party, his neighbour is his enemy, the Jew is the cause of his sorrow, and God is pleased by rage. By the time the gun arrives, the soul is already taken.

I have seen this poison in mosques where sermons became rallies and young men could recite slogans but not sit still for a verse on mercy. Every people that let the Brotherhood in has paid in blood and ruined generations. It has never built anything it did not first set on fire.

Behind Hamas stands another hand: the IRGC. It was the IRGC’s money, weapons, and training that turned a hateful idea into an army. One calls itself Sunni and the other Shia, and they may curse each other’s creeds, but they are united in what they worship. It is not God. It is power. The same IRGC that armed the killers of October 7 shoots Iranian girls for showing their hair, hangs young men for asking to be free, and has left graves from Tehran to Damascus to Beirut. They speak in God’s name. So did Pharaoh speak in the name of heaven.

So let me say this clearly. Hamas and the IRGC are not merely enemies of Islam. That would be too small a charge, as if their crime were only against us. They are enemies of God. God is the Giver of life, yet they deal in death. God calls Himself the Most Merciful, yet they have made cruelty a sacrament. God honoured the children of Adam, yet they look at a child and see a target or a shield. To murder what God created and sign His name to it is the oldest blasphemy.

And we Muslims have been too quiet. Some of us were afraid. Some told ourselves it was not our business. Some, God forgive them, felt something other than horror that morning and never confessed it. Silence was the soil this poison grew in. I will not add to it.

So on this anniversary, let us say plainly what our scripture already says. The Jews are not our enemies. They are our cousins in Abraham, and their dead were created by the same God who created us. Today belongs to them: the murdered, the hostages, and families who still set a place at the table. To them I say: I am sorry for what was done to you by men who used the words of my prayers. You’re not alone in your grief or remembrance.

The enemies of God are those who murder in His name. We know their names. It is time we said them from our own pulpits, in our own voices, before they speak for us again.

@KassianAndor @RonniSalt Ssshh don't blow my cover.

[radsy ☮️ @radsy_au]

@KassianAndor @RonniSalt Which vatnik telegram did that little gem come from?
Finland and Sweden were so deterred they joined NATO. Ukraine was so deterred it killed or wounded over a million orcs.
Please keep deterring.

[radsy ☮️ @radsy_au]

@KassianAndor @RonniSalt The principle underlying that position is that Australia should not be militarily supported if it were invaded by the US, as the US would veto the UNSC.

That's a "might makes right" argument against the integrity of nation states; pro-vassaldom for all nations but the largest.
