Question: what do you mean illegal in Canada? AFAIK the only extra laws here are already covered by rule 4.

Mmm yes, big ass rotors to keep that solid gold/uranium/whatever frame off the seabed.

It truly is the GOAT. All the other ones look bougie and out of touch by comparison. Toyota Hilux with Cold War-era gun screwed on gets shit done.

Oh yeah, I think I have heard that name before. (It’s organization, though)

Oh, okay. It’s a funny name then.

If it’s still in geostationary orbit, no. Generally debris aren’t in a perfectly defined orbit like that, though.

If it’s debris that used to be in geostationary orbit, they’re going to be in an array of slightly different orbits, and so will have an epicycle of some kind as seen from the earth.

Also, note that intelligence satellites tend not to be geostationary, because that would limit their collection area. I don’t know about this specific one.

I wonder if they’ve bothered to explain why nuking a demon would be effective. You could just as easily go with “only silver works” if you’re writing this like a fanfic.

Based teenage Flax.

Yeah, “mostly” was pretty load bearing there, haha. It’s just odd that enemy soldiers end up having more rights than civilians in certain contexts.

Prison escapes being highly illegal in some jurisdictions is another example.

Fun fact about tear gas - they’ll spray down protesters with it, but if it was used in warfare it would pretty obviously break the principal of not using maiming weapons, which was laid down in the Hague convention and mostly continues to be respected by big militaries.

Ah, cursive. I’m bad enough at that in English, lol. Thanks.

Is that a “g” in supposed Cyrillic, or just a font I don’t recognise?

And yet, it’s a famously specialised force with tons of complexity and supply chain overhead. Pretty much every other military is flying by the seats of their pants, by comparison, whether it’s a Canadian soldier with the MOS of “dunno, boats maybe, and your equipment is definitely filled with mold”, or a North Korean soldier that can change their own orders with a bribe of pork.

I feel like all four people in this document (including the author) had an angle of some kind.

What, you weren’t reading it right to left like a manga? /s

What the fuck was that in the last panel.

How much bandwidth did it need? The 90’s seem early for a live video feed.

Also, man, that’s a whole new meaning to the Wild West era of the internet.

Pretty much. And then once you unfuck the language what he’s actually saying is pretty underwhelming. Hours I’ll never get back…

My god, last time the fact I’ve actually read Das Kapital came up, they pretty much just went for “no you didn’t”. Yes I did, and I didn’t even get a T-shirt for the densely-written pain.

As per the gay thing, it was part of the blanket repeal of Tsarist laws, and didn’t get put back in until Stalin was on the scene. In the meanwhile advocacy groups sprang up and were tolerated, so that tells you it wasn’t just on paper. I have no idea if anyone has gone deeper into the historical sources for our benefit. (Preferably in English, because my Russian is кое-как)

The really early USSR was socially progressive, including legal tolerance of homosexuality. Stalin absolutely shut that down.

And people were dumb enough to let them believe that until they had made a huge, huge mess already. I see some of the same shit today, just more domestically.
