Full album of his stuff here: https://postimg.cc/gallery/Ph2Tj87

Ncommander, or Michael Casadevall, is a small YouTuber who 2-3 years ago did great content about computers and vintage hardware. I recently months, his output is more about whining about the FSF and other shit

His groomercord indicates he's an r-slured troop supporter and he actually fled because America is transphobic to GREECE.

This is not a new development. He has always been a friend

He hates when people point out the 41%

He's a fat butt who can't afford Germany so he's in the Balkans

He thinks Portland is better than NJ, where he used to live

His sins:

Actively encourages pink pilling in a mostly teen/YA audience (He probably takes pink pills himself)

Constantly attacks old man RMS because he's behind the times and neurodivergent Show me someone RMS' age who isn't!

Seethed with his audience over Trump's surprise 2024 Election

And finally, he's not producing anything good anymore and yet begs for $ with patreon and shit.

He is a dishonor to the sixth house.

!transphobes

Trump may have jumped the gun last night bragging about his military meeting recruiting numbers, unlike Biden's kitty enbie military that lowered requirements for chicks and s. Looks like the recruiters have still been putting their finger on the scale.

According to the report, trainees have been allowed to join at up to 19% above the standard -- meaning some male recruits may have had body fat percentages as high as 45% and female recruits reaching 55%, levels that would likely be considered morbidly obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

r/army discusses and is unsurprised

I had 8 applicants arrive to MEPS yesterday for a physical/enlist combination and 6 of them were both DQ'd for medical reasons and administratively for BF composition. One younger male was 12% over the standard and the RRNCO was positive "he was good."

If you actually say it out loud, in what world is a 17yo, non-athletic build who is 5' 9" and 257lbs able to make it through BCT.

This is after last year's reports that 70% of active duty is overweight and 20% is obese. (I'm curious though how much of this could actually be muscle mass overweight. That's probably being to generous though.)

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2023/10/13/nearly-70-of-active-service-members-are-overweight-report-finds/

https://www.cdc.gov/physical-activity/php/military-readiness/unfit-to-serve.html

I keep seeing other stuff about letting in more people failing the ASVAB, which I was under the impression in high school wasn't even a pass/fail and had a tier for "functionally r-slurred, would be a parking lot attendant as a civilian".

So both Biden and Trump just want the military full of fat, r-slurred people for some reason. Hope our drones are getting better for the war with China or there are going to be a lot more deaths from heart attacks than bullets on the beaches of Taiwan. In a fight, I would probably place bets on a bull and a roided up pooner over some thousand pound TLC show rejects, but who knows if either could beat a swarm of chinks with whatever dinnerware their catatonic families have cobbled into weapons on the Great Assembly Line of China.

This movies gonna bomb like just like ever other Marvel thing lately

Not gonna lie, this trailer is way better at selling the film than the previous ones. Nothing wrong with the other trailers but as a film lover the name drops of the talent behind this film actually got me excited about it.

Hes lying and thats the tea, sis

I don't understand the way they're handling Taskmaster in the trailers. THe character was already a minor arc in blackwidow movie and who apparently died or dissapeard in that movie(can't remember). Why bring it back only to quietly sniff it out early as everybody is predicting? They already have the Sentry who for regular movie goers would be a big reveal.

Because Marvel is incapable of planning ahead and its writers have been having turf wars since Endgame

Oh okay so they're leaning hard on the "We are A24, trust me. We are not middled with by the mouse, trust!"

um Hmmm why would someone want to distance themselves from Disney???

Anyone know the music used in this trailer? I wanna add it to my playlist

ok so Least obvious advert bot

Also, they're gonna have to pull out all sorts of marketing tactics like this one to ensure this film succeeds in some way or the other, because the only interest in this film lies in dedicated fanbases like this sub. Highlighting auteurs is certainly a choice, I remember the last few times successful "auteurs" directed MCU films and how it led to disastrous results.

Correct, and Its going to be another disaster

I know this is difficult for conservatives, but two things can be true at the same time. It's entirely possible to separately sympathize with Ukraine's repelling back Russian invaders, and also hate Trump for being a draft dodging coastal elite. (20)

Ukraine is not innocent. It's not to say Russia is,. obviously, but Ukraine has done some messed up things and helped Biden in his money schemes.At the end of the day, we should be trying to establish peace.

You stand with Russia though, right? (1)

I stand with America.Not wanting a stupid war to continue and not wanting to escalate into a near-peer conflict directly with Russia over a country that nobody cared about until 14 seconds ago is not standing with Russia.If Russia didn't have nukes, they would probably have a whole lot more American freedom than McDonalds right now. But they do have them, and the people dying on the front lines for both sides are conscripts. People are forced to fight. I stand on the side of not fricking funding that. At least I know when I signed up to be in the US army, every person I served with also chose that life, and I sure as shit aint interested in escalating a conflict that risks entangling them and potentially people like my nearly adult nephews into it for Europe, which is not very close to us, especially when they are not willing to commit more than us to protect themselves. When they don't hold up theit part of the alliance and take primary responsibility for their own defense on their ... (1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

I'm sure this will get the jimmies rustled beyond belief, but for one second, just stop worrying about being labeled some bullshit term, and actually think about this. Option 1: Continue hemorrhaging money to Ukraine (we've given 114 billion euros; the next most generous country is Germany with 17 billion euros) or engaging in war with them against Russia. Guess who Russia is going to partner up with? China. Guess what that kick starts? World War 3. Option 2: Stop being so sensitive and hateful toward the president. The left honestly hate Trump more than they love America, and it shows in the media, on here, and in every city. He does come across as an butthole, sure, but Ukraine giving America mineral rights is giving Zelensky what he wants: America's guaranteed security. Think about American workers mining in Ukraine. Let that marinate in your mind and say, "Would Putin really be more apt to bomb Ukraine and risk killing Americans?" No. No, he wouldn't. And is it really bad asking ... (1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Also I always hate how people hide behind this "I just want the killing to stop" yeah we all do.. but not on an agreement that benefits no one but the aggressor. Guess what? I think fighting for the sovereignty of your country is a good thing. I would HOPE that IF put in the same situation as Ukraine. These same Americans wouldn't just bend the knee at the sign of a tough fight ahead. (2)

Offer a realistic plan where Russia concedes territory and no more soldiers die.If you can't, then shut the frick up, real life is not a movie, nobody wants to fight to the death just to eventually lose. (1)

🚨PARENTS PLEASE READ THIS🚨

I'm begging you to sit with this story and feel it.

This morning at 3:30 AM. I'm in bed with my wife, our three young kids asleep down the hall. Suddenly, there's this violent pounding on our door,like someone's trying to break in. My wife and I awaken in terror, 'Someone's beating on our door!' Our German Shepherd is losing it, barking louder than I've ever heard.

I leap out of bed, heart pounding, my only thought,protect my family. I don't know who's out there or what they want. I grab my handgun, tell my wife to stay with the kids, and head to the door, adrenaline surging.

I peek out the window,two figures, all in black masks covering their faces. My stomach drops. I yell to my wife, 'Call the cops!' as she's screaming, 'Don't go out there!' But I have to I can't let whoever this is get closer to my kids. I step outside, gun ready, and see them move to my neighbor's house, pounding again, relentless. I run over, shouting, thinking they're about to break in there too. Then they turn, coming down the driveway toward me, shadows between two cars, silent and fast. I'm yelling, 'Stop! Get on the ground!'

but they keep coming.

I'm backing up, gun aimed, finger on the trigger, as I scream again, 'STOP NOW!'

I don't know who they are, what they're armed with, or why they're here.

Everything slows down, like a nightmare you can't wake from. They're close now, too close. One more step, and I'm ready to pull that trigger to end the threat. Suddly after I yell "GET ON THE GROUND OR I WILL SHOOT" they stop.

They drop to their knees. One yanks off a mask, and I freeze. It's a girl's face. A kid.

I lower my gun, 'HOW FRICKING OLD ARE YOU?' She mumbles, '14. We were just bored, ding-dong ditching.' The other pulls their mask off, another teenager. No weapons. No threat. Just kids.

I clear my gun, hands trembling, and it hits me, I almost shot two children. My anger explodes, but then relief floods in, and I'm dizzy with it. I could've ended their lives, left their parents grieving, changed my own family forever,all because I didn't know. To me, they were intruders, faceless,in the dark.

Cops came, took them home, I guess. I walked back inside, told my wife, tucked my kids in again. It's 5 AM now. I'm sitting here with coffee, adrenaline crashing, replaying every second. I burst into tears, puked, because if I'd pressed that trigger a little harder, two bored kids would be gone. Their families destroyed. Mine too.

God was there in that moment, guiding my hand to pause. I'm still a wreck, crying as I write this. Parents, please,teach your kids every action has a reaction. They didn't know how close they came to dying. I didn't know they were just kids. One split-second decision in the dark could've ended it all. Talk to them.

I LOVE AMERICAN SUBURB CULTURE I LOVE THINKING ANYONE WALKING DOWN THE SIDE WALK IS GOING TO KILL MY FAMILY I WANT TO FANTASIZE ABOUT THE DIFFERENT WAYS TO KILL A BURGULAR I LOVE INDULGING IN MY PARANOID SCHZIOPHRENIA I WANT TO BE ABLE TO KILL MY DOORDASH DRIVER IF HE LOOKS AT ME pic.twitter.com/1JkuUoqykX

“Yes, when I ding dong ditched, I totally brought my black ski mask with me and knocked as loudly and as hard as possible”

He’s probably adding details to his story as to make it seem more justifiable when it really isn’t

— base nappa (@SilkyGoats) March 5, 2025

He's probably right, you know. Still these dummies are taking the story at face value and acting like it's okay to be a little r-slur at the peak of night.

You're describing and admitting you committed felony brandishing of a firearm, there is nothing in the Castle Doctrine that says you can chase someone down with a gun.

Do you consider reading "spicy" romance novels a red flag if youre pursuing a serious relationship? 21M and 19F.

So I just found out that my girlfriend reads a lot of romance novels and when I talk to her about it she said that she wanted to tell me earlier but she forgot. Note that we have talked about books and what we read many many times and she didn't mention this type of books even once.

The books are very porn-ish and role play-ish. Some about having s*x with some billionaire and some about cheating and having affairs with multiple men. It's all about romantic and sexual fantasies.

Her living this double world of reading these romance books as a fantasy and living with me as a reality really made me discouraged to be in such a relationship and the fact that THESE are her fantasies doesn't sit right with me at all.

I should add that I did something not nice and treated her like never before because of this:

I've brought up this topic to her sometimes and one day she brought me one of these books for me to read its first chapter while I was playing videos game(it was definitely one of the safer ones). I did read it and when she asked about my opinion I said "do you know I was this 🤏 close to break up with you because of these stupid shits you read?" and went back to my video game(as I said I've never even come close to treating her like that). She sat about 4-5 minutes and then went to the bathroom and started crying(not loud but I secretly listened). I know what I did was pretty harsh to her but that's honestly proportionate to how much I hated it.

She started laying some(safer ones) of them in her bookshelf after I knew but after this interaction she put them out again(haven't checked yet but they're probably where she was hiding them in first place) and she's acting like nothing happened. I am also not reacting right now but I just can't ignore it.

What's should I do now?

TLDR: my girlfriends reading written porn and I have a problem with that, some are about being with multiple men and cheating which makes it much worse.

I've told her that I'm was about to break up with her over them and it made her cry, I'm still strongly considering it and but I'm not sure.

Last week, I directed my office to work with our law enforcement partners to conduct a preliminary inquiry into Andrew and Tristan Tate.
