Sounds like a Wood Elf team I ran in Blood Bowl:

It's been years though, I mainly ran a 4 Chaos Warrior, 1 Gutter Runner and supporting Beastman mutants team. The rat took care of everything involving scoring, and the Chaos Warriors worshipped Nuffle the only way they knew how, via Kerrunch.

I did the same thing recently, exported tweets, but sent it to my subreddit instead. Still working out what to send where :)

Count the fingers.

Careful what you say for it may be repeated in strange whispers to parts unknown.

Look for symbols.

Understand that style is as important as form.

Repetition

"It’s time for the GOP’s periodic game of “teachers are communist groomers indoctrinating our children to be godless anti-American transsexuals and we should arm them.”"

"They want the Starship Troopers world where the teachers are all military trained and loyal party members."

Context is here:

I've made the same points in many similar social media discussions. A bunch when people declared the Starship Troopers Movie wasn't satire.

I could have combined the replies to 1, but then they would exceed the character limit if I want to copy paste them elsewhere.

It's handy that the reply char limit in some places is same or smaller than the title of a post limit elsewhere.

I meant original post to link to the threads.net post, but I've had this conversation several times.

This community started as a subreddit, dedicated to Starship Troopers Gifs. I never promoted it as such though, and basically used it as a place to bookmark. But I'll still post Starship Troopers and Heinlein stuff here, or any time someone is Doing Their Part.

Original post was supposed to link to the threads.net thread I am quoting. No bots involved, I am using the Sync lemmy client on my Samsung.

We don't really to have to infer though, Heinlein was an outspoken activist outside of his fiction, ran for office, etc.

"Men are more sentimental than women. It blurs their thinking.

Any priest or shaman must be presumed guilty until proved innocent.

Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it. "

 

When the topic comes up I like to point out Heinlein was writing StrangerInAStrangeLand , a book some called "The Hippie Bible", at the SAME TIME he was writing Starship Troopers.

You're stuck with me as president for a while, kid. There's no way out. You've got me for at least another 100 days or so.

best app for lemmy? (self.doingmypart)

The one I'm using is becoming so buggy to the point of being unusable. It was never really great tbh, what are most people using?

As an added question, are bookmarks associated with the lemmy account or the app?

Edit: I'm on android, currently using Jerboa.

Your friends need you. They always need you. They never stop. They are rage, brutal, without mercy. But you. You will be worse. Rip and tear, until it is done.
