    General Politics Three: But what is left/right?

    Yes, so we've been told, repeatedly, sometimes via as many as 3-4 articles a day by various publications (many with large ownership stakes by the hedge funds), an absolute army of bots copying and pasting the same stuff, and as many paid shills as possible. Really, it's been a gargantuan...

    General Politics Three: But what is left/right?

    An ape is an investor in AMC or GameStop - not a derogatory term about liberals FYI, though to be fair I could see why if you didn't know that you'd think I'm trolling. Perhaps you shouldn't take shots at folks about things you don't know anything about? Though you should very much care about...

    General Politics Three: But what is left/right?

    It's an "If Hitler invaded hell moment," I'm sure, for a number of liberal Apes, but they'll take it.

    General Politics Three: But what is left/right?

    Lexicus, to be blunt, I really don't want to deal with your trolling on this one. It's an interesting development. Do you have anything to add about it, or what? Do you even know what naked shorting is? Do you understand that everyday people of all walks of life and political persuasion have...

    General Politics Three: But what is left/right?

    The DJT Naked Shorting story is a fascinating situation all around though. It was fun watching Charlie Gasparino of Fox News, for example, try to delicately handle the whole situation. Bear in mind for the past three years he's basically been trolling retail investors at the behest of Citadel...

    General Politics Three: But what is left/right?

    I mean I think my post was pretty clearly tongue in cheek, but if you hate Trump so much that you'd like to take the side of the Hedge Funds and Market Makers, by all means?

    General Politics Three: But what is left/right?

    I don't really know which thread to put this in, but having Trump and the Republicans be the group to take on Citadel and Virtu in the quest for market fairness was not on my 2024 bingo card (link). I'll take it though. Naked shorts, yeah. Edit - bear in mind Ken Griffin of Citadel is a top...

    Which films have you seen lately? Vol. 21: Now in CinemaScope!

    I saw "Sasquatch Sunset" yesterday. Frankly, I really am wondering if the folks who made that movie did it as a troll to critics, because you just know there's going to be some dude in a little bow tie and tweed suit talking about how profound and moving it is, but it was just objectively...

    Yes - when you hit "save as scenario" the unit that is currently activated/blinking will be the one that shows up there.

    Whither scenario design?

    Wow I can't leave some of you alone for a night lol :) glad you all self-moderated though. Thank you for that. The annoying thing for me will be that this game is probably the easiest one on earth to share. There's no longer any need for a CD and if we could simply get the blessing and a...

    Forum Members' Photographs 26: Everyone is unique

    @bernie14 great diorama there! If I only had the room. Back before the divorce I was working on what I envisioned as an "Ode to Poland" with 4 Hurricanes from various Polish squadrons flying over an army of charging winged hussars. Spent quite a bit on the resin hussars from some etsy shop. I...

    What drives you? What are your subjects of interest as an adult?

    Thank you but yours look great too! I could never brush paint anything near that well! Even if I try just doing small sections, it comes out "meh." I use a variety of paints. I quite like Vallejo Model Air acrylics since I use an airbrush and it's just hassle free, IMO (at least with larger...

    What drives you? What are your subjects of interest as an adult?

    During lockdown I was looking for something new to do and keep my interest and I stumbled across a YouTube video of this guy making model airplanes. I decided to try it and ended up sticking with the hobby., While I still have a long way to go, I've come very far in the past three years and it...

    What TV Shows Are You Watching? The 9th Is - Excuse Me - A Damn Fine Cup Of Coffee

    I can't remember the first time I heard about Masters of the Air, but it must have been over 10 years ago. Seems like it just took forever to finally be produced. Anyway, I quite enjoyed the first two episodes and am looking forward to the first Schweinfurt raid next Friday. I find air movies...

    Over the Reich: Single Player - Development Thread

    @Prof. Garfield would there be an issue with my placing units on the map at this point? I know I had placed the strategic targets so you could do some sort of lua wizardry and build out the strategic bombing mechanism, and not all of the strats that are currently on the map at present will be...

    Over the Reich: Single Player - Development Thread

    Attached is a publisher document for the tech tree which is completed. I figure it's OK for the Allies to have a shorter overall journey to get jets given that they're not going to be terribly useful for the Allies. I gave the Germans a "shortcut" to a jet (the He 162) that can only be had if...

    General Politics Three: But what is left/right?

    I always like checking the three major cable news sources most Americans go to (CNN, MSNBC, FOX) when things like this happen. Basically 25 governors have told the President of the United States to kick rocks. In my mind, something rather newsworthy regardless of what side you're on about the...
