@Resypto @AlluvialPlane @lionel_trolling I mean it’s an extremely recognizable and very specifically designed skull and bones…. It’s not just a generic skull and crossbones.

It’s immediately recognized for what it is and if you don’t recognize it then you clearly know next to nothing about WWII

@SummerBree67633 @DudespostingWs It’s kind of hilarious just how far the point flew right over your head.

@BrandonGaudin apropos of nothing… but my wife and I really appreciate the regular shoutouts you guys give to Gretchen and we’d really love it if you had her on the broadcast so she can get the credit she clearly deserves!

Always wonderful to hear you guys call games!

@Unyielding_Vet @Braves It’s pretty simple. You’re wrong.

@radiopundit @JeffPassan Except the fiscal punishment on the player (missed wages) is by the day, not by the start. So by your reasoning pitchers would lose 5x more money for a suspension than a position player.

@WUIPro_com @jaybsauceda And your wife lives with someone with all the maturity of that one kid in kindergarten who cries because his boogers taste bad.

@WUIPro_com @jaybsauceda I’m not lonely. I have a wonderful wife.

But I don’t need guides from the most selfish generation in history who took all the handouts and programs that made their lives economically possible then slammed the door behind them.

I don’t think there should be a salary cap. I do think the deferred salary has become a massive dodge and is the fundamental problem here.

If the Dodgers had to pay all of these salaries they absolutely wouldn’t have signed all those players.

[Isaac @iTalkStudiosYT]

This is why we need a salary cap. The Dodgers just pay for the top guy at each position as you can clearly see here

@bawfuls @ChrisRoseSports Numbers don’t lie

@arkangeldynames @KingIronfoot @AspirantLen No, just literate. You should work on that.

[I’ve read too much history to be hopeful @timber_tuna]

@arkangeldynames @KingIronfoot @AspirantLen I would feel like I missed out on a substantial portion of my daily intake of calories, my subsequent workout would be less effective, and overall my day would be less healthy and less complete.

[I’ve read too much history to be hopeful @timber_tuna]

@arkangeldynames @KingIronfoot @AspirantLen Skimming and comprehending are completely different things. This proves nothing.

[I’ve read too much history to be hopeful @timber_tuna]

@arkangeldynames @KingIronfoot @AspirantLen No, it’s lots of sentences. The physical characteristics and cultural references of the various legions and how they differ from each other is a MAJOR sub theme in the Horus Heresy.

If you’re ignoring that you are missing out on a major part of the conflict.

[I’ve read too much history to be hopeful @timber_tuna]

@arkangeldynames @KingIronfoot @AspirantLen You just owned up to not reading the books, and of the very few books you did read you chose to skim over character and cultural descriptions of the chapters. You don’t get to call other people tourists.

That’s called hypocrisy.

[I’ve read too much history to be hopeful @timber_tuna]

@arkangeldynames @KingIronfoot @AspirantLen Character description is part of the story.

[I’ve read too much history to be hopeful @timber_tuna]

@arkangeldynames @KingIronfoot @AspirantLen It’s not a bold claim, it’s cannon. And if you aren’t going to read the books then don’t try and debate lore.

[I’ve read too much history to be hopeful @timber_tuna]

@arkangeldynames @KingIronfoot @AspirantLen Also “as long as they don’t inject real world politics?

Priestly was actively writing anti-authoritarian themes into Rogue Trader, the early IoM was specifically written as a satire of Fascism. Real world politics has been linked with this universe from the beginning.
