Active protection systems are rendering ATGMs ineffective.
A 500,000 dollar upgrade to a 1960s tank makes it virtually invulnerable to handheld AT weapons. And programmable airburst munitions make any fool taking potshots a Deadman.

Let's not forget there's homos and tumblr kids writing fan fiction of the two and making drawings as if they were some gay couple.
School shooters are dumb and for edgy people who are just as dumb and daydream of violence because of repressed feelings and being weak in real life. There's nothing interesting about them. Some weak losers seeking some relevance. They never target actual important people because their brain energy is not high enough to carry out something big.

How about a history thread? Anyone up for a history thread? I feel like a history thread. Any history!

The other day I was thinking about how disappointing it is that California doesn't have a recorded history that goes much further back than, like, 400 years or so. And I started thinking about how cool it'd be if a Mesoamerican civilization like the Mayans, the Aztecs, or the Olmecs had a colony in Southern California that was like over 1,000 years old and had ancient hieroglyphs describing the Mesoamericans' encounters with the native Californian populations. Would've been neat to have an ancient pyramid site somewhere here in Los Angeles that people could visit like the sites they have over in Mexico City.

Correct, using a specific sound or string of characters as a symbol for an abstract concept determines if you're able to integrate into society or not.

My main hobby is collecting old audio gear, sometimes I just flip stuff if I find something easy to fix for cheap. Cassette walkmans are probably the best way to make some profit in this field, you buy bulk lots of broken ones and fix them up. Usually they just require a simple belt replacement and playback speed adjustment. The biggest profit I've made so far is with an old sharp boombox, bought it for 50$, all I needed to do is clean it up nicely and it sold for 200$ on ebay. I could make it a full time thing probably but I'd need to get better at soldering.

I've made a habit of collecting words. I.e. familiarizing myself with their definitions and basic histories. It seems to be a beneficial practice. Because not only do I use these words to communicate to others, but I use them when communicating with myself in my thoughts.

Over the years I've preferred to use the Oxford online dictionary. But now Oxford has replaced their online dictionary with a nauseatingly pretentious, spyware laden webpage dripping with grandiose self aggrandizing verbiage about how great they are, and how much they want to help you (for a fee this time). The change in their presentation reminds me of Facebook when they rebranded themselves to weta.

I'm having to revert to a paper dictionary now. I don't think dictionary.com has the degree of precision that I appreciated from Oxford. Do any linguists have suggestions for my next primary resource for learning definitions?

 No.62908

Why, Wiktionary, of course. I use it all the time both as a dictionary for the languages I'm learning as well as to track etymologies in my known languages.

I used to do stop motion animation when I was a kid, but haven't had the space to build a stage in my adulthood.
Now I am a full time RVer so it's pretty out of the question.

If I was to try and take up animating again I would have to do it digitally.

Justice league gods and monsters

Was pretty good for a elswere story, even if it felt like they changed things just to change them.
Though it makes me crave the orginals just behaving like themselves.
So might watch another more mainline justice league movie later. There are so many I haven't gotten around to yet so I have a lot to choose from.

I was wondering whether or not any of you here has ever practiced Santeria. What sorts of rituals or ceremonies or whatever have you had done? What did they entail and how much did they cost you? Who did you go to, and how did you know of them?

So far; I've had the following done:

Rogacion de cabeza (something like $60, $121, or $212). I've had this one done in 2016 and again in 2019.
Lebo and parado (over $750 or $1000). Both in 2019.

Many animals were decapitated. Roosters, goats, rabbits, doves…

I've worked with, like, two, three, maybe four babalawos (Santeria witch doctors). Two of them were close friends of the family for many decades. One died recently and the other is married to one of my aunts.

Was also wondering whether or not anyone here has tried Discordianism, Voodoo, Yoruba, etc. and how they compare to Santeria.

 No.66616

>>66614
Discordianism is a very long running in-joke within the occult community, mainly related to chaos magick.
It isn't something that is taken seriously, especially by the practitioners.

As for the other stuff, I only speak English and I am not apart of those cultures so it goes into the "not for me" category of stuff.
My knowledge could be bested by a careful reading of a decent encyclopedia. So I have no comment on them.
