I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

There was also some dumbass yesterday that said that seriously said ecological disasters don't happen under communism. These kinds of things generate some good photoshops for a few hours, then twitter poliposters ruin it with vibe capitalism and chernobyl-denying communism.

But don’t worry, Ice Cream Grandpa is “really proud” of how she responded to having her dreams crushed over something that 100% of people surveyed indicate was totally loving stupid and outdated 20 years ago. :rolleyes:

This is Biden's full quote for y'all to judge yourselves:
“The rules are the rules. Whether they should remain the rules is a different issue. I was proud of how she responded.”

RBMK reactors are less power plants and more engineering nightmares that sometimes generate electricity. I don't think a single class of reactor has ever had quite as many radiation release incidents as the RBMKs have.

It's not really a myth if it's true for the scenario. Attacking a Tiger from the front across an open field is about the dumbest thing you could possibly do. Tigers, Panthers and Tiger2s on defense did so much better than on attack. Hard to break down if you arent moving.

But yes they should have bypassed it and called in air support or outflanked it or have infantry screen. Instead a pair of 75s and a 76 went straight at it.

The screenplay sucked especially the ridiculous inability of massed infantry to deal with a broken down tank in the middle of the road but damned if they didnt scrimp on the budget for the set design and vehicles.

Yeah those are good points. I wish they had more faith in the audience so there didn’t need to be a FNG in the tank for audience perspective. Make it feel like there were prequels of the crew in North Africa and France and we’ve known them forever. Instead we get Shia LaBeouf trying to be a religious fanatic (dang that a private Ryan ripoff) and tower defense with one tower. It would have been better if the Germans shot the solitary tank from half a mile away then credits rolled.

I remember at the end when a grenade with a two minute fuse goes into the tank and gives him all the time in the world to get out. Oh well hopefully that upcoming Masters of the Air show will be good.

Guys what you’re missing about Fury is that Brad Pitt never climbed back into the tank and had some final big conversation with the new guy and then ate the grenades. That was all just a fever dream fantasy the new guy’s broken brain formed to make him feel better about everyone already being dead for hours while he hid.

They should have had Brad Pitt turn on the crew and stolen the tank to deliver to Stalin so he’d have the secrets needed to build Shermans. Why not.

Fury is a good war movie.
Not a realistic one, but a good one. Same can be said of Platoon, or FMJ, or dozens of other movies.

Plus, it's got a lot of fun parts.

For all it's flaws, after the fixes from Chernobyl were implemented the RBMKs became fairly reliable reactors. There are still ones in operation. And despite Chernobyl being the worst Nuclear accident that we know of, it remains only the 65th worst energy accident, and after the initial body count of 56, only 15 known and confirmed deaths from cancer have been directly traced to it by the UN.

I'd rather have more RBMKs than more gas plants but guess what we are actively building more of in the middle of a climate emergency...

Here it is: the absolute worst take- claiming Sha’Carri Richardson is a steroid user because of her hair and nails, and that her getting kicked off for THC was cover to keep the rest of the team viable for competition. And she repeatedly doubles down on it.

She founded Quillette, that rag that had run people like Andy Ngo.

While the airports line was the funniest, I think too little attention was paid to getting the Revolutionary war battle of Yorktown mixed up with the siege of Fort McHendry (sic) during the War of 1812.
