I was kind of hoping the Chapo episode was actually going to be about World of Warcraft.

while the Night Elves have existed as a society for well over 12,000 years, it can be stated that the recent introduction of the unbound Undead to Azeroth's power structure has ramifications for its power structures,

John Dolan pouring over non-canon and supplemental literature, trying to discover why the hell anyone would use shielding and lasguns if the outcome is a thermonuclear explosion

I wouldn’t use “leisure” to describe Dolan’s life, but at least they don’t have to worry about money anymore.

he has more important things to worry about, such as whether or not to cross the street to avoid walking on a bulls-eye painted onto the sidewalk

The interview was just sort of awkward. I say that not having finished it though.

The worst interview they ever had was the former Africa correspondent for the New York Times, who was a just extremely condescending. His brain was fully part of the US foreign policy blob.

what did that sanctimonious gently caress hope to achieve by going on The War Nerd

I bet these UFOs are regular planes, weather balloons and the like. People put too much faith in military hardware and personnel. It seems reasonable to conclude that experienced pilots and sophisticated military hardware cannot make such mistakes but it happens all the time. Perspective and optical illusions can fool the best humans. Radar can glitch. Objects can look very different in infrared versus visible light. People have crashed jets because they didn't know they were flying upside down.

In the Nimitz incident you have accounts from multiple sources of something bizarre happening. But it should be noted that these sources don't show the same event happening at the same time. They show different events happening at around the same time that also happen to be very strange. It seems unlikely that this could be a coincidence. But consider the vast amount of people flying, and cameras and radar in use then coincidences like these are more likely to occur. We never hear about all the times fighters get scrambled because of a radar blip and just sees a flock of birds.

we don't really think about it today, but remember the time before drones? that anyone would be flying something the size of a golf cart at people?

It finally happened to me. In what I hope will become a war nerd tradition, I was momentarily locked in the bathroom at work today

I feel that every War Nerd fan has some story to share about becoming locked in a bathroom and the despair that resulted from it
