  • Not defending the practice in a combat scenario because that’s obviously dumb especially in the uber warfare that’s happening in 40k. Virus bombs that can destroy entire ecosystems in proverbial seconds, rounds and shells with more diameter than a fucking bus, chaos sorcery of the worst kind is a frequent encounter as well.

    But for propaganda material it makes a lot of sense I’d say, the masses need to see their heroes’ faces. There are also some marine chapters that use mutated or otherwise extreme gene seed when making their warriors, for example one chapter becomes a lot more animalistic in its physical characteristics and the helmet negatively impacts their altered natural senses.



  • Akshully, a significant portion of them prefers to fight without a helmet where possible, for various reasons such as chapter culture or certain gene seed variants. The primarchs are also often depicted without helmets, but considering the lore is essentially imperial propaganda it might make sense to depict them that way for PR reasons.

    Speaking of, is there something natural that I could spray or put out to deter spiders from setting up shop in my place? I dont want to kill them or anything, and also know they are usually helpful in eating mosquitos and such but there are certain places in my apartment I want them to stay the fuck away from forever, like my bedroom.








  • Speaking of mod power abuse, some days ago one of your mods deleted my (very mildly) snarky comment for “mod harassment”, which I didnt even know they were until that point. I suggested they should be a little less petty and argumentative in random comment chains.

    I did not report that bs at the time because I honestly dont give two fucks about the guy and have since blocked him, but I’m sure you can find it in the mod logs.




  • I mean, I think that on basically any advertisement I see. “Why the fuck does anyone buy this shit? It is a literal attempt to get at your money”.

    But here we are, ads are everywhere and possibly the most pervasive and intrusive concept we have ever come up with as a species. They get crammed into everything, seep into every place they weren’t before, despite people overwhelmingly hating them.

    Yet someone must be eating them up.

    What annoys me personally about it (to the point that i blocked the community) is that it is mandatory. That’s not humor, or funny, that is weird performative scripted humor. I often felt reminded of carnival speeches.

    I’d also argue that it isnt very successful in clearing anglicisms from the german vernacular when it is all about making the most incorrect and cryptic literal translation imaginable to the point that nobody could understand unless they are well versed in those anglicisms.
