Yea, seems bout rite

2020-12-18 03:24:43 UTC  

Two nukes were not enough

2020-12-18 05:19:50 UTC  

My Grandfather on my Mother's side would've been one of the Marines storming the beach. He probably would've been one of the countless casualties too. Dropping the bombs saved so many lives ironically. It was a horrible thing we had to do, but the alternatives would've been unimaginably worse.

2020-12-18 05:28:46 UTC  

People really tend to forget that it wasn't just the a bombings that made Japan surrender

2020-12-18 05:32:46 UTC  

Their navy was all but destroyed.
Firebombing of Tokyo.
Firebombings of other major cities.
US submarines sinking tens of thousands of tons of shipping *each month.*
The a bombs were just the final nail in the slaughter house coffin.

2020-12-18 05:39:51 UTC  

Any of those bombings wouldn't have been possible if we weren't in range to do so

2020-12-18 05:58:50 UTC  

Yeah

2020-12-18 05:58:55 UTC  

True

2020-12-18 10:39:27 UTC  

Not only was the nuclear option the only way to get Japan out of the war, but it led to Japan creating anime.

2020-12-18 16:02:58 UTC  

And is that good or bad? 😂

2020-12-18 16:05:56 UTC  

I mean, there is a lot of bad. A lot of fucked up stuff... but there are some pretty good ones out there. AOT S4 FUCK YEAH

2020-12-18 16:19:42 UTC  

YEAHHH BOIIIIII

2020-12-18 16:20:00 UTC  

I love the Japanese

2020-12-18 17:40:01 UTC  

Shit, I forgot about Season 4 being released.
Time to sail the high seas in search of it!

2020-12-18 18:45:12 UTC  

gotta wait for dub ;-;

2020-12-18 18:59:53 UTC  

Then I'll have to rewatch the first 3 seasons first, lol

2020-12-18 19:04:02 UTC  

I got my buddy to try anime with me since AoT is probably the best anime ever, and now he's just as excited for season 4. We watched all 3 seasons over the past few months. it was awesome

2020-12-18 19:07:53 UTC  

And just like that, another weeb was born.

2020-12-18 19:28:07 UTC  

nah. it would be weeb if I cared at all about Japan, the Japanese language, or watched sub

2020-12-18 19:35:05 UTC  

I thought that's what an otaku is

2020-12-18 19:38:02 UTC  

Had to look it up, lol. Apparently, I should've used otaku instead of weeb. Earned my brain wrinkle for the day!

2020-12-18 19:38:05 UTC  

otakus have body pillows and shit

2020-12-18 19:39:15 UTC  

Idk, I like about 10% of the anime that's out there.

2020-12-18 20:16:36 UTC  

theres some really good stuff thats more like actual shows, then theres some weird shit that is not okay.

2020-12-18 21:14:28 UTC  

I was scrolling through the website I use to watch anime and, there are so many shows, I probably only like 2% of them, lol.

2020-12-18 21:22:38 UTC  

I like anime but there's also a lot of weird stuff you'll find

2020-12-18 21:22:52 UTC  

I particularly like it for it's art style

2020-12-18 21:23:57 UTC  

Manga is difficult to draw and it has a distinct style
I call it "simplistic complexity" because it seems basic to draw until you try it yourself for the first time

2020-12-18 21:25:28 UTC  

A lot of animes in general also incorporate Japanese cultures and tradition into them which I think is cool

2020-12-19 15:11:43 UTC  

Die Hard most certainly is a Christmas movie. Any movie that makes you think of Christmas counts, and there's plenty of Christmas stuff throughout it.

Plus, there are guns and explosions. It's the perfect American Christmas movie, and only dirty commies would say otherwise, 😉

2020-12-19 19:06:57 UTC  

Communist...COMMUNIST!

2020-12-19 20:43:43 UTC  

Christmas isn’t that important to the plot though

2020-12-20 01:12:08 UTC  

Listen to Andrew Klavan's take on Die Hard

2020-12-20 15:30:49 UTC  

Am I one of the few who have never watched die hard?

2020-12-20 15:31:16 UTC  

@h bomb I’ve never seen it either lol.

2020-12-20 15:34:34 UTC  

Glad I'm not alone

2020-12-20 17:07:51 UTC  

Same lol

2020-12-20 18:49:24 UTC  

Ooof

2020-12-20 18:49:26 UTC  

I've seen it
