A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

If you were in a Tom Clancy novel we would know it.

All the people around you would act like wooden placeholders for character archetypes.

And they all have the CEO of the company that makes the firing pin on an AK47 on speed dial. It was the 90s.

Oh yeah, Ken? He is a good guy it’s just sometimes when you are hanging out with him and he starts to get a little drunk at the bar he can’t help but start yelling loud jokes with racial slurs in em and it gets real awkward.

He goes to church every Sunday though and his wife is the local girls soccer coach, he is a good guy at heart.

That's like easily 15% of the DC metro area

Unless you happen to be the wooden placeholder.

I mean the game "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon" predicted the Russian-Georgian-war of 2008. The first mission even takes place in "South Ossetia". It's as if Putin was thinking to himself: I'm gonna make myself a Tom Clany-villain.

KGB + martial artist + propagandist? More like a James Bond Villain

It was worth stealing. The zombified Barbossa is somehow more scary with the goggles and tacticool stuff. He can walk over the seabed. He could be anywhere right now. Goggles freak me out.......what were we talking about?

Way to bring it full circle, respect, high five.

I think the book started out pretty cool but I just couldn't deal with the amount of murica feeling in that book. Not for me, I guess

[–] maynarkh@feddit.nl 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That and the forced submarine subplots. Guy loves his subs.

Oh Hey could we get something like a modern day pirates of the caribbean but with private security companies

SSN was cool, though, tbh.
