I grew up in a highly predominant French Canadian enclave in New England so the word "Pepe" just meant "werid thing to call your grandfather" to me for the longest time. Still does at first glance. Also loving lol that grown rear end adults unironically refer to themselves like this.

Godholio posted:I think Trump would've won anyway (for reasons that don't belong in this thread anymore). Russian involvement concerns me more from an "undermining the very fabric of the republic" standpoint than anything else. This. I can accept as bitter as it may be that Trump won because of his messaging and how much people really did not like Clinton. The explanation I've given to conservative family members (and a few have agreed so there's something at least) as to why they might want to care is that it could very easily be a democratic candidate pulling this poo poo next time around if Trump and Co. get away with it this time. It's not a standard I want to set.

LingcodKilla posted:Didn't Poland invite them in to fight off evil Nazis???? Nope. The Soviets did discuss a strategic alliance with the U.K., France, and Poland in August '39 but were doing so in bad faith (they demanded freedom of movement within Poland and Romania during peacetime, which was not going to happen) as they were also inking a secret deal with Germany. Once the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact was signed, they stopped talks with the West. They stayed out for the first two weeks while Poland mobilized its forces to try stave off the Germans. Then they invaded while Poland was focused on ze Germans. At first the Poles thought the Soviets were coming in as allies, but quickly realized it was just Stalin making a land grab under the auspices of "protecting Ukrainians and Belarusians living in Poland."

A lot of the nuke stuff I was aware of but it was still a good read. This part though, quote:Late one night, just southeast of San Jose, at Pacific Gas and Electric’s Metcalf substation, a well-informed sniper, using a .30-caliber rifle, had taken out 17 transformers. Someone had also cut the cables that enabled communication to and from the substation. “They knew exactly what lines to cut,” said Tarak Shah, who studied the incident for the D.O.E. “They knew exactly where to shoot. They knew exactly which manhole covers were relevant—where the communication lines were. These were feeder stations to Apple and Google.” There had been enough backup power in the area that no one noticed the outage, and the incident came and went quickly from the news  What the gently caress?
