My dreams, man.... WTF.

We were making an unreasonable quantity of soup (huge aluminum vat, about 100 people putting stuff into it, I was one of the vegetable peeling/cutting people) and this guy next to me, who had been there longer, was going on and on about how "disabilities aren't real unless you got them the right way" and "born that way? Pfft, that's a lie, if you did, your parents would have 'dealt with' you". The manager of the veggie section was going around in a wheelchair but "that's okay" because "he got it in Normandy" (idk how because the manager was like 50, but dreams be weird). Then the jerk started to egg me about why I don't "try to do something like that" instead of working in a soup factory. I'm like, well, I did try, but didn't make it. Then I was like, why are *you* here, to which he threw his shirt off, revealing a bunch of scars and being like "I did my part".

I woke up thinking that he might be right and feeling insecure and small af, like when you get a bad grade and feel ashamed.

Then in the next moment it registered that "oh shit oh fuck, that was a dream, it didn't actually happen" and I was like what the periwinkle fuck?!

sometimes i think about how wild a mw2 movie would be if they just dropped soapghost right in the middle with no warning or marketing. like imagine it being beat for beat the exact same, it’s your typical military action movie, promoted as just another military action movie then after they get to the safe house, ghost has to patch up soap and he’s still out of it, overwhelmed by the betrayal and everything he’s seen and ghost needs to ground him and keep him in the present, to remind him that he’s alive and safe so he kisses him and they have sex. the tantrums and the rants and the “ReAl sOLdiErS aRen’t liKe ThAt”, god i can taste it and it’s delicious

o5 council consisting of just guys who either faked their way into the position or were coerced into it (by outside forces or their predecessors)

In a way isn't this every O5 Council

switched my planned research direction entirely bc all the advisors here who do work on that stuff are funded by the US military lol

[bolas-de-berlim]

I may be out of the loop lore wise, but with the multiplayer game, it makes it seem Leith Pierre survived the hour of joy and before the main events of the game was actively trying to get research back. So like. Hundreds of people died or went missing in that factory and then it shut down and that was it ? I mean kids and some nosier employees already went missing, along w the theater incident (whatever that was about) having upward of 60 people dead and covered up so. How does Leith have the power to do all that? Honestly, if they go with this all being Leith trying to make money and selling the bigger bodies as weapons to the government, it'd make sense. Bc turning kids into toys seems way more expensive than just making the damn toys

A Tale of Two Systems: Revisiting First Blood and Rambo: First Blood Part II

When most people think of Rambo, their minds immediately go to explosions, body counts, and a shirtless Sylvester Stallone wielding an M60. That’s fair—by the time the series evolved into its later iterations, it had become synonymous with over-the-top action. But to reduce First Blood and Rambo: First Blood Part II to mere action movies is to miss the heart of these films entirely. At their…

I don't check the news for a couple of hours and there's an ongoing coup attempt in South Korea. Seems like the president should be too unpopular to get the military support needed to do it but who fucking knows anything at this point

Like you can hate Sawada Iemitsu and say he is a terrible dad despite his behaviors being on a very nearly normal on Asian parenting scale, it's your opinion. But the moment the next thing you say is Reborn is better dad for Tsuna then excuse me your opinion is invalid.

If what I'm hearing about South Korea is true then I'm wholeheartedly sending my thoughts and prayers.

Mission rejected

- a short story by keinjournalist -

This is the story of a man who fully understood the meaning of the word soldier. He should be released from this body, because only the soul survives. And only if the soul wants it, then the body survives. But at what price?

Germany in 2024, the Bundeswehr has bought new F-35 fighter jets and is offering a pilot training program. Young Stephan signs up and is accepted. What nobody knew, except for a few close friends, is that Stephan has spent every cent on books since high school. His library receipt was record-breaking. In a small company building belonging to one of his friend's grandfathers, which was no longer in use, he learned everything about modern aircraft engines. In 2025, the year his training began, he knew everything about engines. In front of the instructors, however, he pretended that he was still learning. The friends were given an enormous boost of motivation by their colleague's success. The years passed and little by little his friends brought up the idea of ​​the magnetic field engine.

As early as 2020 he joined an underground blog on the dark web that specialized in military knowledge and offered all kinds of information about 5th, 6th and even 7th generation fighter aircraft. The latter, however, was considered crazy and everyone who wrote about it was called a lateral thinker, although hardly anyone had checked the plans that could be viewed under this thread. All kinds of emotional outbursts in Chinese, Russian and Hindi could be read there.

Stephan wrote in his own subblog of the Hyperuranion blog about his fantasies of a community of all earthly warriors. An international association of the armed forces to bury the dispute once and for all. What he did not know, and neither did the others who faithfully read his essays, was how much attention this site was getting. Only one of the website operators had once taken a look at how many views the texts were getting. But he doesn't tell anyone. He also had no idea who was behind the number. Pretty much all the generals of well-known countries were there. And numerous (more powerful than anyone thought) paramilitaries, independent individuals and collectives.

The day came when Stephan had his first mission in Syria. There he was supposed to "neutralize a target". (A mission led by the American government.) In secret, however, he had finished the magnetic field engine that he had developed up to that point. Without attracting the attention of the German army, he installed it in the plane.

And so he flew "the new bird" over Syria. As soon as he arrived at the location, the commanders radioed confirmation.

The answer came as a surprise:

"Mission rejected!"

And so it happened, and all readers gradually began to switch off the security systems of the major cities. The F-35 flew over all the major cities in the world and everyone looked up to him. Loud cheering broke out. Parties were thrown. The excitement was high everywhere. Everyone expected the plane to be over their city soon.

One of the smartest hackers of the time, named Michael, made sure that there was not a soul in the building. A fake message here, a public viewing event there, financed by cryptocurrencies, so that no one was left in the building. He even managed to distract the caretaker when the time came.

The last city was Dubai.

And the powerful weapon found its purpose.

Found its worthy owner.

Hubris fell and became the grave of Mars.
