in a word, war.

http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3529017

Any other contributions from other milgoons that lurk around in the Rhizzone?

oh, and you're more than welcome to argue the effectiveness or the practicality of the platforms, but not any 'hurf drones to bomb browns' shit. I will probate people for that.

Yeah, but we don't really like to use nuclear weapons due to the collateral damage. So, we'll have to make do with predator drones with combat lasers.

I really wouldn't object to being part of the manual labor team at these research labs.

Hey dude, go get the forklift and haul this big fuckoff piece of steel to the test site. We're testing the railgun today.

Graduate school be damned, I would totally do that.

How effective are lasers vs. people. Can we put a drone with a combat laser and literally laser terrorists faces off as they pop their heads up? Is there anything prohibiting that? I assume if a laser will go through 20' of steel, it'll go through a dude.



These are the saddest losers on the planet. Someone once described "actually-existing fascism" as all the losers and dweebs suddenly given power to enact their revenge fantasies and wear big important clothes and carry big guns that don't fit them. However that's a far better descriptor of our own system, at least everyone in the military, the financial sector, and politics.

dorktopia would never happen because you need a certain level of charisma to overthrow a government. like sure lenin was a 'cruel and strange weirdo' but in a completely different way to your american nerdsacs of ebullient resentment and dense crystalline sexual frustration
