Actually? Today, you watch my favorite TF2 video ever, all 35 seconds of it.

Alright, so:

Our POV is a RED Soldier, and he’s rolling out, or in other words, he’s just coming out from spawn after dying. 

This is what he sees on the Progress Bar. This means that someone in RED is capturing the final point needed to win the round. But there’s a problem! You can also see that two players (or one player worth two for the purposes of capturing points, such as the Scout class) are capturing back the previous point! Two players (or a Scout) capture faster than one, and if that RED point gets captured, the last point immediately becomes protected and you can’t capture, essentially saving themselves and possibly bringing it back.

Our protagonist Soldier is, however, having none of it.

As soon as he steps out, he Rocket Jumps, but you might notice that it is no regular Rocket Jump! Typically, a Rocket Jump sends you a great distance vertically, not horizontally. See, he did an advanced version of the Rocket Jump where you shoot a wall at an angle to propel yourself forward. This is hard. He then follows this hard angled Rocket Jump with several extensions, known as Surfing. He keeps shooting in such a precise way downwards that he keeps building momentum going forward. This is very hard. He then reached the wall and does another angled Rocket Jump while surfing, with no time to second guess the shot. This is EXTREMELY difficult and precise. He nails it, and is sent flying right towards the point that BLU is capturing. If you go into a point that the enemy is trying to capture, you Defend it, halting all progress on it until they remove you from the point. He held onto the point JUST long enough, midair, after doing this incredibly complex and precise chain of Rocket Jumps, to Defend the point to prevent it from being captured, affording his teammates storming the final BLU point JUST enough time, down to the millisecond, to capture it and thus win the round.

It is an absolutely mental play. He defended the second to last point by flying there from the other side of the map at top speed like a defensive angel.

I think it’s really insulting that westerners talk about communism. y'all had it too good and now y'all are being spoiled little brats. let me talk to you about the women and men executed and how their bodies were thrown out of trains and the basic food being rationed so harshly that we actually started black markets for fucking sugar and oil and let me talk to you about how they used to spy on everyone, we had mikes in our homes, how they made kids rat on each other and how controlled the education was. lights went out at 7. my parents used to study by a candle. everything. was. controlled. everyone. was. oppressed.

# DESTROY TUMBLR’S UNAPOLOGETIC ROMANTICISING OF COMMUNISM 2K15 TBH

#the fastest way to make me lose all respect for you is if you’re one of the tumblr shitbabies who romanticizes communism #my grandfather was the only member of his family who survived the russian revolution #he hid in the family crypt and had to listen to the sounds of the bolsheviks slaughtering his whole family #women and children too #all shot execution style because they owned a tiny farm in what is now ukraine #the members of his extended family were all sent to gulags and we only know they were even there because we found records of their deaths #so don’t fucking come in here with your pop communism nonsense #not when my family has suffered under it #not when the families of millions #billions of people #have suffered for something you think is a cute and edgy way to rebel #go fuck yourselves honestly you ignorant pieces of shit #i consider myself a socialist but there is a huge fucking difference between socialist policies as implemented today in sweden etc. #and the utter living horror that was life under communism #stay classy tumblr 

A good friend of mine has some stories, man. Her family fled the USSR with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

My grandfather’s family had to flee communism twice. The first was the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, where they were kicked out of their home and country because they were “White Russians” (a wealthy class, not even nobility). They would have been killed had they stayed.

They fled to Italy. Not too long later, they were kicked out of there too by the rise of Italian Communism. “Italy is only for Italians,” they said. And so they fled again. Eventually they settled in Louisiana.

My grandmother’s family were Jewish Russians. They fled the USSR because the oppressive regime was destroying their life, their family. My great-grandfather arrived in New York harbor at age seven, with his father, waiting for the rest of their family to come over so they could start fresh.

I think OP put it best: “y'all had it too good and now y'all are being spoiled little brats.” None of these neo-commies actually understand the horrors that the implementation of communism brings because they’ve never been personally affected by it, because they’re ideologists who never consider the outcome of the execution. They want a utopia.

They’re sheltered.

They live in the greatest nations that Earth has ever seen, live lives wealthier than all of the kings of old, and they feel oppressed because the public and private education program has taught them to hate their own countries and long for a utopia that no one can prove is possible.

People really will say communism isnt the solely ussr. yet idk man would you say an ideology that requires hyper utilitarianism that makes bio essentialist rhetoric a viable option isnt just another form of another political ideology. Communism requires bigotry to be acceptable and an oppressor to murder in order to exist. Aka without a fight the power slogan communism is just another way of making scape goats to kill causr you hate an incompetent goverment.

Ie the orphanages and mental institutiona in my home country was a founded by the ussr because they wanted to kill off or fix people who couldnt work. Except it ended up being a majority romani population. A romani population who got treated just as shittily even after hitler happened. The commie bastards hated an entire ethnic group and made state sanctioned murder of them acceptable. Guess what i am.

I was born after the communist president and his wife got executed on live television. Thanks to him and his shitty parties programs i still wouldnt have had an opportunity to thrive because of my ethnicity and disability. Being adopted outta a post soviet country was the best thing to happen me.

Dont you dare defend an ideology thats just fascism but with a different economic model.

#if you followed me back in 2014-16 i was a die hard tankie until i learned yknow the genocides#it wasnt until i learned about the purges of nit to just the incompetent romanovs but innocent civilians and racial targeting#yknow wht does that sound familiar#people have the audacity to say never again yet brush off the soviet unions attpts at genocide#the bastards only got away with it cause they made it seem like class warfare instead of its true intentions racial purity#also stalin only won against hitler in the winter cause he stopped trade in the area killing a lot of civilians including soldiers#but sure just keep saying such an ideology didnt actually found some of the worst atrocities in human history

Ahem:

Racism and anti-semitism has always been an element of Marxism from the very beginning. The reason Stalin starved millions of Ukrainians to begin with was because he thought they weren’t “proletarian” enough.

In fact, here’s a fun practice; Check out any of Marx and Engels’ drivel and replace any mention of “bourgeoisie” and “proletariat” with “Jew” and “Aryan” respectively. Things will start feeling a little close to home very fucking quick.

The paradox of tolerance is only a paradox if you think of tolerance as some sacred and unconditional moral duty. Some ultimate and absolute law with no exceptions, and if you ever slip into the sin of intolerance, you must repent yourself and beg for forgiveness. Yeah no fuck that. Tolerance is a social contract. You're in the game as an equal player for as long as you play by the same rules as everyone else, and if you don't, your ass is fucking out. You're not entitled to the same respect you won't give others.

"Oh so you all tolerate each other just because you tolerate each other, but if I want to destroy you, then all of a sudden you want to destroy me?" Literally yes. That's the gist of it. What's not clicking. This equation is so simple it barely counts as math.

Also like, tolerating who a person is, and tolerating all the things they do, are fundamentally different things? Using the same word to describe unrelated concepts does not make it a "paradox".

the tolerance paradox isn’t a paradox, it’s a cutoff point

I can claim horrendously racist things but as long as I say that nobody else should be silenced (physically, legally, etc) then i’m “tolerant” for the purposes of the “paradox”

I'd consider increasing the sentence as punishment for insulting everyone's intelligence with that incredibly likely lie.

“Extra-dimensional Warp Fuckery ahead.”

“Mother Teresa established hospitals but when she got sick herself she went to much higher-end facilities,” yeah, and people who establish soup kitchens go to restaurants.

Actually, the Missionaries of Charity largely establish hopsices, orphanages, and homes for people for who no one else cares. She never intended to replace any medical systems, but rather she cared for people systems had already rejected, like dalits and HIV/AIDS victims (especially in India and Ethiopia)

She also denied them medicine, refused to give away condoms even in HIV-ridden areas and thoroughly believed that suffering through the worst symptoms is good for the soul

- not having + not being allowed to distribute + needing to ration medicine =\= denying.

- Yeah. Catholics don’t distribute condoms. Or artificial birth control. Contraception isn’t healthcare.

- Catholicism teaches that offering up your suffering is good for the soul. Mother Teresa affirmed that, but it doesn’t justify inflicting/causing or refusing to alleviate suffering. If her belief in the redemptive power of suffering meant that she wasn’t providing aid she was an absolute idiot for working herself to the bone instead of just leaving people to suffer on their own.

She received millions in donations and a fucking Nobel prize

Stop making excuses

the tranny can not go a minute without shouting down women with more virtue than he! perhaps if all the good women quiet down he will be able to hide among them just a bit longer.

Do you have any argument except for personal insults?

a man covers himself in manure on a street corner and laughs confidently when the only thing people say about him is about the shit. “Address what I’m saying, not what I am or what I do” he says as he slings shit at whoever comes near.

the only thing I would debate with you is whether we should deal with your lot with a hose or something more permanent.

Yeah, Diogenes is based, what does this have to do with me?

What the hell is going on is the internet anti nuclear power now????? What did nuclear power do wrong lmao

Poison peoples land

Pro tip if your plan requires humans to be incapable of making mistakes and large organisations to never cut corners or else irreprable damage will be done to the land and everyone around it

Its probably a shit plan

Nuclear reactors are a fuck ton more safe when the people designing them aren't being idiots, IE three mile island. Also Chernobyl was recovering from what i hear.

cry about it death cultists! the genocide you yearn for will never come to pass.

jesus christ what could people possibly object to about this

“nuclear power is an intellectual achievement for humankind that provides huge benefits to everyone”

“lol you are so terrible awful bad:”

I’m gonna take a wild stab in the dark here before clicking to the blogs in question and make a guess that they think it’s bad because capitalism.

nope, full on anprims, which I could try and strain to define as being about capitalism but we all know by the definitions we use was not the Thing I Was Talking About

High IQ destruction

So we have a little asshole raccoon for a cat, and whenever he hears the toilet flush, he immediately springs into the bathroom to play in the clean water, wash his paws in it, etc

Anyway, I was minding my business and heard hysterical laughter from the bathroom, followed by "oh god, help the cat, help him, oh my god" and I couldn't get anything else out of him besides "piss" and insane laughter

Yeah, he heard water noises and ran straight through bf's mighty stream

Me, flatly: "You pissed on the cat"

Bf, strangled through continuing laughter: "HE! HE- PISS- HE DID IT! I COULDNT- HE CAUSED THIS!"

The cat: hiding under the couch

I have not seen him in the bathroom even once today after that. The pissmonger's toilet adventures may be over

100 notes for the little peepee boy

Btw the next day he got trapped in the laundry room and pissed all over bf's clothes and directly next to the AC intake, making the entire house smell like cat piss. I told bf this was revenge against him and he was like "I'M NEVER GONNA LIVE THIS DOWN!"

Damn right lmao

200 notes for the little peepee boy

"there's no such thing as resources and people don't deserve to be paid for their work"

On today's episode of, "It's Only Bad When Whites Do It," we have an African "Community" in Roman Britain.

In reality, they were a unit of the occupying Roman military. But when you are trying to steal the ethnic homeland of native Brits, you call it a "community."

I guess US military forts in the Dakotas were "Anglo Communities."

I’d bet dollars to donuts the “african community” weren’t even black.

No, I've been reliably informed by documentaries and career politicians that everyone ever born in Africa looks exactly like Djimon Hounsou. And if you don't agree you're a nazi.

My understanding is that the romans were pretty diverse in general, because they would abduct recruit people from all the regions they conquered to serve in their military, including several parts of Africa.

But in order to prevent those conscripts from mutinying, they spread people out so no individual military unit had too many people from the same subjugated culture in it, ensuring that the closest thing to a unified identity they had was 'roman soldier'.

You live in Germany? :0

How is it?

It's a lot nicer than the memes make it out to be

But the bureaucracy is VERY slow. Efficient, but slow. And also there are laws for EVERYTHING.

Still so, SO much better than Russia

Also hee hoo, long compound words funny

is it efficient if its slow?
