Maybe they shaved their heads with a machine, then it would be gay.

>>23981
Men who are not insecure would probably cut each others hair dressed in boxers.

Thread sounds like it's gay to be naked in a locker room or gym shower smh

>>23984
Real men who are not insecure do not wear boxers.

I don’t understand… You exchange nudes and sexting and you are surprised at him for sending a bare chested picture of him and his friend cutting hair?
He just be flirting as you were before

Did your gf tell you or - good forbiddenings - do you use modern technology to monitor your sleep?

Every week I visit ADP, my company payroll service, and open my statement on mobile Chrome. Every week it automatically downloads. Easy. This morning it didn't. More than that, it couldn't. No option to save locally. Thirty minutes of reading web solutions only to learn every human on earth has a different menu when pressing the three dots in Chrome's upper right corner. I lose too much time dealing with tedious frustrations.
Problem eventually solved by opening the pdf in Samsung Notes and using that to save. Why did Chrome change? No idea.

Hopping in a command vehicle in person to throw down with them biters is still the most fun and efficient.
Explosions, bursting sacks of flesh and huge bugs everywhere, what a nice place.
AI half-tracks and tanks even come with a good inventory grid, so they may be fitted with repair packs and roboports for repair or light shielding.

Now with a more dedicated security layering the game gives me real Tiberian Sun feels.
And thank Buddha for finally setting up a robot network, having walls replaced automatically is a godsend.

With all that I finally also managed to connect some fat ore patches via multiple lines, set up some electric smelting and even bauxite was explored, so despite ammo production and the mall drawing bigly on resources, up to purple science can be done mostly fluently now.

At times I still have to haul a load of wood from the northern sawmills to the bio science plants because I never set up a line and the other input is biter parts which I handfeed anyway.

Turns out biters really hate it when you shell their homes.
But as long as they are out of the polution cloud, we always come to an equilibrium.
And an eviction team takes care of those that are definitely violating the law of factory expansion.

It's just beautiful to see them bots do their job after painting a large stretch of concrete paving
The game takes a 180 after getting them lil' critters.

1. Use national focuses to promote clergyman for research points (RP) and literacy up to 4%.
2. Research Prestige and then RP techs as soon as you get to the necessary year, and save up RP for a year beforehand. In between these techs, get the techs necessary for the prestige inventions. Congratulations, you are now incredibly prestigious and call dibs to goods on the world market while having 0 industry. Your factories will be very profitable.
3. Build Liqour and Glass factories. Cement is pretty unprofitable.
4. Wait for wars between your enemies if you're weak, declare if you're strong. Promote soldiers if you don't have enough military.
5. Ally Great Powers (GPs) with very high military ranks.
6. Beeline Healthcare, Education, and then Unemployment social reforms. Don't do any of the others. Always choose consciousness options and switch between governments to piss off your pops.
7. Conquer provinces with large populations and good RGOs like steel or coal.
8. After getting 4% clergyman everywhere, promote craftsmen and then clerks.
9. You should have a massive tech advantage at this point and roflstomp/stackwipe opposing armies with less troops, thus giving you even more prestige and lots of warscore. This in addition to using Hussars and Engineers will allow you to end wars quickly and take on extremely powerful large nations. You'll be able to get enough warscore to win before they can get their armies to the front line.
10. Start building factories for expensive goods like airplanes and automobiles.
11. Conquer China and make the pops build factories for expensive goods. Luxury goods are also good because you will then have a monopoly on silk
12. Sphere places with oil, rubber, and tropical wood to make Airplanes and Automobiles even more profitable.

This practically guarantees you to become a great power starting from virtually any country.

A boss boiter decided to visit a neighboring abandoned outpost and provided a laser show during mop-up duty.

Some helis provide much needed mobility around the base, now that it is expanding nicely.
They do pack a punch, but as only a single one can be flown and they don't have AI support, they're at best light scouts against smaller expansion nests in this environment.

Then I expanded a little too far into biter territory without cleaning up first, which swiftly ended in sending the cavalry to reduce damages.
And while those abandoned outposts don't pose a danger by themselves with their laser towers, they are a pain in the ass when they align with my base while building, as they take down the little worker robots.
Still using those single-use "early construction bots", they cost repair packs and coal, but are 5x faster then regular bots, so I'm just feeding them into a bot port at base.
Those regular bots run out of juice halfway to the outer wall and then crawl at a snails pace...

At times I wish we had politicians that understood such games.
Just as an entry barrier for thinking and technological prowess or whatever.

I had a dream where there was a cave, and the entrance to which looked more like ordinary doors to rooms; there were spiders, someone's poems, a table made of stone and food in clay pots, everything was lit by kerosene lamps, and you had to get to the cave using an old tram, which had no windows and grass grew out of the ground, but the weather was good and the tram ran as usual

>>23879
Even if it was a recognized popular tourist destination, the idea is still controversial. Why should my mom tell me where to go on vacation? In dream it was assumed that me and gf (without mom) should go to Albania, spending our (not mom's) money.

>>23877
Thanks for the link, I've read it with auto-translation.

>>23879
The entire fucking world is now a tourist destination. Can we please lock all the Americans, Russians, Chinese, Brits and Germans (except for me) in their own respective countries?

A guy was fired at work. Or maybe quit. Only know that he's not there anymore. Had a dream he was back in the building and acting weird. Crazy. Then he pulled out a gun. Woke up.

Audio ShitpOSTERing incoming. It means ShitpEASTERing in German, it's an ebin easter pun, doesn't wörk in English, fug!

This weeks winner is "The Black Angels - Passover."
Good album.

Next week's poll: https://poll.fm/15391850

As always we start at 18:00CET, which is in 40 minutes from now.

It's been awhile since I streamed rock-blues. Pic will not be featured. Doesn't fit the list. Good song, though.

This weeks winner is "The Tiger Lillies - The Brothel to the Cemetery."
Circus music with a touch of jazz, all very avant-garde.


New to the poll:

Viagra Boys - Viagra Boys (2025)

A very current album. Released around two weeks ago.
We've already had The Viagra Boys on the stream a while back.

Good album.

The changes that address the problems of the situation and liabilities of the current system are vastly more important then what the new system is or it claims to be.
If you are able to correctly assess the current moment, capitalize on a historical opportunity, and execute it effectively, then you are a good leader in my books.

These are my favorite leaders/politicians based on this criteria:
Hjalmar Schacht, Emperor Meiji, Lee Kuan Yew, Mahatma Gandhi, Deng Xiaoping, Henry Kissinger, George Marshall.

>>23945
Kissinger is debatable.

>>23945
Although giving favorite politicians like this is a bit retarded.

> Let's look at the history of post-war Albania. In 1944, the communists came to power there. At first, Albania became a satellite of Yugoslavia, and there was talk of joining the SFRY as another federal republic. However, in 1948, local leader Enver Hoxha did a political somersault and reoriented himself toward the USSR, declaring his former overlord enemy No. 1.
> In general, this is normal. In the early 60s, Albania, however, declared the Soviet Union the flagship of revisionism, broke off diplomatic relations with Moscow and became a Chinese puppet. Okay. This is already exotic, but still possible. But in 1978, a "Chinese conspiracy" was uncovered in Albania, relations with Beijing were reduced to zero, and in 1981, right at the plenum of the Central Committee, the second person in the party, Mehmet Shehu, committed suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head, and he was declared an American-Soviet-Chinese spy.

The hoxhism was unusual even compared to other socialist regimes:
> 1) The only country in the world where practicing any religion is officially prohibited
> 2) On a tiny territory, 700,000 bunkers with machine gun nests were built (one for EVERY FAMILY). The bunkers covered the whole of Albania, from each one you could see several neighboring ones, often they were connected by underground passages.
> 3) Around EVERY HOUSE in the countryside, long poles were installed for impaling paratroopers.
> 4) Albania for two decades was the only satellite of Maoist China (while being located in Europe and bordering Yugoslavia, Greece and, across the sea, Italy).

>>23909
Hoxhaists were a significant political force between '74 and '76. Out of all the countries to look to, a not insignificant amount of people looked to Albania.

It's not a phase, mom!

>Will my art be scraped by AI bots?
Absolutely.
if you say so!

Just noticed during the whataboutism discussion, that if you take out the "bo", we could combine German autism and whataboutism to coin the term "German whatautism".

>>23824
What about :-) Gertismus, GERtismus, GERtism, Gerdtismus, Gerd-tism, Gerdtism?

>>23826
I like gertism, sounds crisp, but it feels like the "what" and the "autism"-part have been lost on the way. Maybe we can take gertism for something else?

I*t should be illegal, fatistan
