Been there, hope you can stick through it and make it out on top

Wizards of The Coast, they own the D&D brand

So so. Life is more stable but it seems to have come at the cost of a less active social life. Back when I was in turmoil I somehow was seeing people more often and out and about more. Now I'm busier and have a stable home I find that's beginning to dwindle. Can't have it all it seems.

It shows up as DZ on some browsers, why is DZ the shorthand for Algeria?

Khrushchev and Chernenko too. And depending on how you see it, Trotsky too.

Sorry to hear it comrade, hope it gets better.

How's everything going comrades? I'm feeling good for the first time in a while.

no worries, its just a friendly jab at your CPUSA membership, thats all.

Wonder if he succumbed to the most common method of suicide for US whistleblowers: two gunshot wounds to the back of the head.

Good to see you back, and the apology is appreciated, I hope you're forgiven. I remember you from the video game related posts you'd make each week. And the "AmAs" that you left under each weekly thread.

Tell me American, how does it feel to be back?

What I don't see many people talk about is how in my part of the world, and plenty of others, the film was actually censored to remove all of the nudity, so I didn't actually get too bad of an experience in that regard. But the way it was done was bizarrely technical, to the extent in a film that put so much effort into practical effects, that the heaviest amount of CGI used in the film was applying clothing to nude actors, pretty funny.

Theres a scene where Oppenheimer is invited to attend a party hosted by some communist friends of his brother. He has some silly conversations with them where they talk about abolishment of property and ownership, mainly making a lot of smugness all around. Tough to explain but it just feels off, try and find a clip of it if you're curious.

I saw the film when it came out, apart from the cringe inducing communist house party scene I thought it was alright, pointing out how cold war hysteria reached absurd levels in the US.

In the UK, All Royal family reporting is pure theatrics, similar to when the US starts randomly pushing UFO stories. In both cases theres usually something actually important they don't want people to look into.

I'm assuming this is supposed to be for mostly online interactions, but I have unironically heard a few of these when discussing politics irl with some of the Americans that happen to live in my town. It takes a lot of self control to maintain civility and not call them out on how idiotic they are to their faces.

American moms have plenty worse to be worried about for their children.

The involvement of the Anglo intelligence community is of much more crucial interest to the 3 letter agencies in the US, and hence their need to nearly completely submit Australia to the will of the US state to allow such facilities and operations to take place on their soil. Japan, while certainly a puppet regime, is not that far integrated into the western bloc's intelligence network as Australia is, and despite slow rollbacks to it, Japan was for a long time technically not allowed to field a large military itself, unlike Australia, which has historically been part of Five Eyes for 8 decades, and more recently AUKAS and Quad.

It's because they're the main "Western" country in the pacific that they can use as their frontline in a confrontation with China. This plus being part of the anglo intelligence community and it's no surprise that they're so much more of a puppet than most other western countries.

I feel the same sometimes, with everything shitty that life can throw your way. The way I see it, a lot of the time there is not much that I can really do about these things apart from occasionally finding time to distract myself with things I care about. Although it's less and less often these days.
