Cat Mattress posted:*south. Go watch a sunset with a compass some time. The one in your phone works fine. The sun sets due west on the equinoxes. North of the tropics, in the half of the year that includes summer, it sets north of west. It rises an equal distance north of east, too. Within the Artic Circle, near the solstice, the Sun doesn’t set at all. It’s not hanging around in the south all day. It’s making a full tour of the compass bearings. It comes closest to the horizon in the north but does not touch it before climbing again.

Apparently there are no high quality maps on the internet of the theoretical war in Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising. I am disappointed.

What fucks me is how is it, a product of NJ, going to constantly not register on Jersey toll roads, and on the same exact trip over the Tappan Zee (MARIO CUOMO I KNOW, SHUT UP) or GW the NY tolls just auto register it and everything is hunky dory.

Do you still have one of the old chunky rectangle tags? They're all getting due for replacement around now because the internal batteries are starting to fail, and older readers are starting to have issues with them.

Wait, is pessimism friday? global warming => immigration from most affected areas => right wing parties feed from hate on immigrants => fascism Once the sea levels start to raise, it will be game over for democracies around the world. Our democratic systems will not survive to one asian country underwater and a immigration of 30/100 million persons.

Fortunately there are proven pathways against fascism. Here is a politically loaded map. But on that glorious day in December 1973, Luis Carrero Blanco went higher, farther, and faster than any other Fascist.

Jerry Cotton posted:"What the gently caress just went past my window?" With a explosion of that power nearby, you probably are limited to think “what the gently caress” and try to breath again, with 100% of your attention in breathing, maybe 1% into paying attention if everyone around you is well.

Maybe sometimes has happened in story that violence have stopped a violent regime, but are exceptions. Terrorism polarize society and scare the "normal guy" that you want to involve into forcing the government out.

Bolsheviks stopped assassinating princes not because it was the right thing to do but because it made normal Russians hate them. They did it fully pragmatically. They ended up on top. Horrifying violence is a tricky thing even if it's "right".

About a year ago, Zoran Trifunović, a "construction enterpreneur and investor" with a long history of blackmailing people to evict them and sending out thugs to break their limbs if they refuse (I've seen newspaper clippings from over a decade ago showing the condition he left his victims in), was trying to force a 70 year old widow, Stojanka Stojanović, out of her home. When threats failed to work, he implied that her son might suffer an unfortunate accident. She tracked the guy down and shot him to death not long afterwards, put on her makeup, and waited in her home for the police to show up to arrest her. The media worked overtime to spin it as "killer granny on the loose", but mostly ended up making themselves look like idiots. The dead man's fellow thugs shat their pants and even slowed down their activities for a short while. (though right now, police authorities are being massively expanded to protect those innocent, well meaning enterpreneurs, with the EU applauding every step of the way and demanding more) The public reaction to the man's death can generally be summed up as "Good.", and the government got spammed with a bunch of messages asking for her release. Including a number from Croatia, Bosnia and Macedonia which were basically "I get it, she shot someone, you don't want her around, but why don't you send her over here instead? We need her!" When a shadowy cabal is going around ganking people, or a 20-something middle class dude with delusions of grandeur decides to MAKE A POINT, that's one thing. When a 70 year old person is pushed into a corner by injustice visible to all, and has no choice left but to fight back... That's a different story.
