not ‘we’ but ‘me’

some amusing cope in the video’s comments as well

was looking at natopedia a bit about it…

Several thousand Norwegians and foreign citizens were tried and convicted for crimes committed in Scandinavia during the Second World War.

A total of 40 people—including Vidkun Quisling, the self-proclaimed and Nazi-supported Prime Minister of Norway during the occupation—were executed after capital punishment was reinstated in Norway. Thirty-seven of those executed were executed under Norwegian law, while the other three were executed under Allied military law.

but lol no suprise here, they also added a paragraph that the nazi collaborators were judged too harshly:

A great deal of sensitivity continues to surround this subject in Norwegian society.[7] In later years, studies and inquiries have shown that justice was administered unevenly and—by today’s standards—harshly.[citation needed]

For example, the volunteers who joined the Waffen-SS and served on the Eastern Front were tried only for treason, never for war crimes.[8] Some[who?] believe that those who sided with Nasjonal Samling were often publicly shamed and ostracised well beyond the punishment their crimes merited, such as fines or a prison sentence. The prosecution of individuals who served with the German Red Cross has also been questioned[who?]. Among those convicted was Hanna Kvanmo, who later rose to prominence as a socialist politician.

it’s always funny how tech bros will be very opinionated about geopolitics (or anything really), used to being pampered I guess so they think their are like some rare nectar to be poured into their community with delight

if can convince them AI driven paperclip production is mankind’s biggest threat then pushing atlanticist imperialism apologia shouldn’t be hard either

Continuing with the single player story content of ESO in chronological order. Finished Summerset and about half way into Murkmire, which is a smaller Argonian themed zone. The writing quality was solid around this time in the game, apparently it took a dip later on. I’ve made Mirri (one of the companions) into a super-fast ninja by wearing a set on my character that decreases companion skill cooldowns by half and also giving her all quickened type gear to reduce it even further. Missing 4 purple pieces from having the max reduce % possible. I can just sit back and throw psjic heals at Mirri as she deals with the overland enemies, which is a fun gaming loop. Also freezing time (psjic skill) on enemies for a few seconds is fun.

After finishing Murkmire I’m planning to go back to BG3, picking up at the beginning of Act 3. I saw the last big patch added access to companion inventories without asking them to join you so that will be really useful for inventory management. I’ve been away from the game for long enough that it will feel like coming back to a new expansion.

A few other games I want to play eventually, but I’m not in a hurry: Midnight Suns (stopped around 25% into the story last year, it’s all right for a Marvel game, actually has some RPG-like vibes), Stray Gods, System Shock remake, MK 10/11/1 story modes, those Vampire the Masquerade visual novels, and eventually a second BG3 playthrough. Most likely a good tiefling bard for next time with Karlach, Wyll, Gale, current char is a mostly good drow arcane trickster with Shadowheart, Lae’zel, Minthara, and a bit of Astarion mixed in from time to time.

I’m on break from playing after finishing Act 2 but pretty much always had Lae’zel and Shadowheart in the party, lots of character development for both, got used to them. For the third character I had Astarion in the beginning and then Minthara later. I didn’t go the ‘full evil’ route to get Minthara but it still cut off some quests early as a result.

so the slurp juices only work on top tier apes?

they should just combine their slurp juices into new apes!

(disclaimer: I’m no policy wonk) dear diary, Ukraine was my slop

lol at ‘overseas contingency operations’

also ‘all options are on the table’ for threatening to attack other countries

This reminds me of Trudeau and his ‘extended humanitarian pause’. Western politicians having fun with words.

Elder Scrolls Online on and off for around 2 years now, about 60% done with the solo quests there, BG3 for the last 2-3 months but I’m taking it nice and slow. They added a custom difficulty mode in the last major BG3 update but it can only be applied to new campaigns. I want to do another playthrough in BG3 eventually to try the other classes and companions but I’ll squeeze in one or two smaller visual novel type games before that, like Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical and Coffee Talk 1/2.

the right wing newspaper connoisseur these but not those! rule 2 !

I remember Scott Ritter saying once that Wagner did recruit from prisons but not the harder cases like convicted killers.

This reminds me of how there was some creative cope in Polish tabloids a while ago that Russia is only doing well in the war because Putin is doing black sacraments and is a closet satanist.

That’s pretty funny, bit of glimpse into their thinking and humor. At this point they might as well release a ‘fundraiser funko pop’ for the consumers to get excited about for a second.

love these combos you make, I really should try to use more emojis in posts, especially the less used ones

most of the calls are to vassal state leaders though so he can do them half asleep

There is a very strange thing happening indeed
