Preferably we will have a break up like the eastern bloc, though I suspect we will have a Yugoslavia style break up.

Still smaller than some King Henry VIII when you factor in relative sizes.

If I had to guess its probably because the stste was kinda in a weird place when digital products were first becoming a thing so it was never implemented, and now nobody cares enough to try.

Hey everything on steam is the listed price if ya live in California. We dont have a digital sales tax, which is weird.

The number of these fuckers I saw while working estate sales, fuck these bowls. Could never sell them, not that I really cared they were just annoying to see after awhile.

The national guard previously state militia system is honestly kinda brilliant, in how it allows some amount of military counter actions by the states themselves. I suspect it is based off of how some Italian city states would have local semi-professional militaries for local defense while relying on mercenaries for external actions.

Also I cant imagine the military higher ups are particularly fond of Trump anyways, they could very well use this action as a casus belli to trigger a civil war. Which would just be a repeat of the last one more or less. Really that one would come down to how stupid Trump and Co are.

Edit: I just remembered 2025 calls for getting rid of Veterans Affairs, so not only do the big wigs probably hate Trump the rank and file have plenty of reasons too.

Most folks are extremely boring, I suspect the only reason I find him so acharismatic is cause I am autistic and can barely stand most people let alone a used car salesman. Actually ive met plenty of interesting used car salesmen, one of them actually restored and sold off old military vehicles he either bought from random folks or via auction.

Fun fact, when I bought my K-bar I was with my grandmother and she asked me why I didnt get a butterfly knife instead. I literally quoted the weapon of terror line, also I pointed out how I have destroyed many pocket knives and its probably better to just get a solid piece of steel.

The first bipartisan riot in the US was kinda the whiskey rebellion.

I think you could, black powder weapons are regulated weirdly. But yeah anything that uses modern powder would need to be sold to a gun shop.

Erik the Red converted to Christianity because his wife refused to have sex with him until he did.

It aint stooping to their level its embracing tradition, which is to say the proud tradition of shooting fascists, Pinkertons, lawmen, and annoying as fuck cultists.

Nope its an actual place, most of the locations in NV are based off of real places. Theres even a crashed bomber in lake Mead.

They forgot the butter side of that equation, which is to say I kinda doubt their logistics would be good enough to sustain a war. Worse case scenario ya get some lefty rednecks give em some horses and tell them to got wild on the infrastructure.

In my experience they were black out curtains at one point in history, but are no longer due to way too many washes and solar breakdown.

A lot of folks use blinds which are abject shit for keeping out light, blackout curtains are becoming more common but its still not the norm. Also im pretty sure the OOP is in a Hotel meaning thet prolly cant do any modifications, also if you want to go to Vegas assuming you have a car stay in one of the satellite towns, Primm, Boulder, or a KOA campground.

Atleast when hardware decides to catastrophically fail it makes a lot of noise about it a solid chunk of the time.

I too am in my mid 20s and I generally have gotten more tech literate in the last couple years, though mostly hardware since software is the devil.

The military was almost completely reworked between Vietnam and Desert Storm. They were getting tired of having to deal with the paper work for fragging, accidental friendly fire, and junior officers getting the shit beat out of them. Also a lot of the reforms had to do with ethics and rules of engagement, Vietnam was a fucken PR nightmare and the military did not want to deal with that shit ever again.
