I posted this back when /r/drama hadn't been completely cucked by the admins, but it had a lot of info and names redacted because of the potential dox. It's almost 4 years later now and probably nobody gives a shit anymore, so here it is again.

Our story begins in 2016 when guncel poweruser Topgunebay gives Kilo Guns, an Arizona gun shop, two incredibly rare Russian parts kits, one for Kilo Guns to assemble as a pistol and the other for Kilo to keep as payment for finishing the first kit. To Topgunebay's surprise, instead of fulfilling his obligation, Kilo Guns takes the kit he was supposed to assemble into semi-automatic pistol and turns it into a machine gun instead. That's a problem, because as a private citizen without a dealer/manufacturer license, there's no way that Topgunebay can ever take possession of the gun back in its current form. According to the ATF, once a machine gun, always a machine gun, so it can only ever be in the possession of law enforcement, other licensed dealers/manufacturers, or it can be destroyed. Over the course of two years, Topgunebay hounds Kilo Guns to get his shit back to no avail, while Kilo whores off his stolen Vityaz on Instagram.

One of Kilo Guns' sponsored shooters even wins 2nd Place with the stolen machine gun at the 2018 Red Oktober shoot!

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16841355330047019.webp

Finally in December 2018, Topgunebay has had enough, posting a long butt tirade about the ordeal to /r/AK47and copy pasting it to Yelp, TheAKForum, and some fricking website I've never heard of called Birdeye. Most people's reaction is "That's fricked up, but why are you bitching about it on the Internet and not getting the authorities involved?"

Turns out, there's no way that Topgunebay could have legally acquired those parts kits in the first place. The US has importation bans against countries like China and Russia. The only way to legally get Russian or Chinese military parts kits is if the guns have been sitting in a "neutral" country for at least 20 years. The stolen parts kit was for a Russian PP-19 Vityaz which didn't even exist until 2004. 2016 - 2004, you do the math.

https://old.reddit.com/r/ak47/comments/a5kizx/kilo_guns_llc_is_a_liar_a_thief_he_is_in/ebnuy0r/?sort=controversial

>Kilo is one of the shadiest cats out there. Too many complain, but no one takes action. It's heartbreaking reading stories like this over and over. Call the Dog Tax Assessors Union and put a federal boot up his butt, ankle deep. He's earned it.

OP could also get the federal boot up his butt since the kit was illegally imported in the first place, lol

Explain how the parts kit was illegal.

It was imported from Russia without the proper paperwork which is a federal crime. Even worse, it was probably imported after the sanctions which means not only was it illegally imported, but it violated the Treasury department's sanctions, another federal crime.

It's not something I would publicly call attention to owning like this...

\

>You should maybe be cool and delete that.

Why? Everyone is telling him to call the ATF which I am saying could very easily end up costing him everything he owns plus a prison sentence. I'm the only one being sensible here...

The ATF is NOT stupid. The presence of a modern production Russian SMG parts kit will throw up red flags if OP reports this incident. The biggest violation here isn't keeping the parts kit beyond the scheduled delivery date, it's importing it illegally in the first place.

In short, Topgunebay is fricked because involving the feds would draw attention to his other questionably legal activities, like importing gun parts and military surplus from Russia without the proper clearance.

https://old.reddit.com/r/ak47/comments/a5kizx/kilo_guns_llc_is_a_liar_a_thief_he_is_in/ebnuzxv/?sort=controversial

"hi yes, ATF? I illegally imported a Vityaz kit and then it was stolen from me, can you get it back?"

Or...orrr here is a solition. Drop an anonymous tip to the ATF saying he has the illegal kits. It hurts to lose them but at least you get to royal frick this guy over in the best way imaginable.

At which point Kilo Guns says to the ATF agent "Oh yeah, I got it from this guy who has a long history, that's publicly available on the internet, of importing gun parts, magazines, etc that are banned. Here's all of our text messages, email exchanges and his address."

You beat me to it, this is what I was going to post next. Kilo has a lot of leverage over OP because of OP's lengthy history of bringing in high dollar illegal firearms parts. It's all right here out in the open. OP has drawn lots of attention to himself by posting about this dispute on multiple forums.

And if OP ends up attracting the wrong attention, it might behoove members of the community to think about what PMs and emails they have exchanged with him to discuss trading, buying and selling things.

And then Grynchmob_Gerry who apparently has a bone to pick uses this opportunity to shit talk all the shady shit Topgunebay has done over the years within the AK community, including the aforementioned importation and tax evasion, price gouging and apparently being solely responsible for cutting off the flow of military goods into the US civilian market by fricking over his Russian contacts. Don't worry though, in 3 years, the Russians themselves would nail the coffin shut on the Russian export market for good.

https://old.reddit.com/r/ak47/comments/a5kizx/kilo_guns_llc_is_a_liar_a_thief_he_is_in/ebolvu0/?sort=controversial

https://old.reddit.com/r/ak47/comments/a5kizx/kilo_guns_llc_is_a_liar_a_thief_he_is_in/ebomg3e/?context=10000&sort=controversial

So, what the frick ever ended up happening? Well, probably nothing. In February 2019, Topgunebay posted a photo of the Vityaz in rifle form on r/Guns so he must have gotten it back somehow. Kilo's only comment on the situation was this December 2018 Instagram post where he tells people "don't believe the haters, fam."

Kilo Guns is still in business and posting on social media as of May 2022. ATF and State Department clearly don't seem to care about doing their jobs because the newer AK-12 rifles have been popping up in the hands of American GunTubers in the last year.

As for Topgunebay, I asked around on gun boards and chat channels and the consensus seems to be

>He never shut the frick up about the Vityaz incident and everyone got tired of hearing him b-word about it. Eventually, he got himself banned or self-exiled from most of the popular AK/Combloc communities and no one really seems to care about him anymore.

A cursory glance at his reddit profile seems to confirm, as he mostly sticks to Austin related subs and his gun related posts don't get much engagement, though he still does stupid shit like publicly talk about drug use on the same account he posts pictures of his gun collection on.

EFFORTPOST Australian women behaving badly :marseyaustralian::marseyroo::marseyoceania:

AUSTRALIAN WOMEN BEHAVING BADLY

Also known as Down Under, Australia is the smallest continent, and it consists of three countries, namely: Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, and Australia. Today, we will discuss three Australian women who were naughty and brought shame to themselves. Before we dive in, I think it would be necessary to give a little background regarding the Australian continent.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16985839601388807.webp

Papua New Guinea

When the continent is discussed, Papua New Guinea is often neglected, so it would be wise to discuss this interesting country briefly. The islands of Papua and New Guinea were discovered by the Western world in the sixteenth century by Portuguese and Spanish explorers. In 1884, Germany took control of about a quarter of the islands, calling it German New Guinea, and plantations were established. In the same year, Britain claimed control of the Southern coast of New Guinea and called it British New Guinea. It was established as a protectorate, though ownership of this protectorate would be passed to the Australian Commonwealth in 1902.

Australia forcibly seized German New Guinea during World War 1, and during the Pacific War, the Allies defended the territory from Japanese invasion until Japan surrendered in 1945. Following this, Papua and New Guinea would be merged to form what was known as The Territory of Papua and New Guinea. While it operated as a single body, it was still under the control of the Australian government. In 1975, the territory freed itself from Western control and became an independent State.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16985839607853272.webp

New Zealand

New Zealand is an island country consisting primarily of the North Island and the South Island, as well as over 700 smaller islands. It is regarded as one of the last land masses that humans settled on.

It is believed that it was found by Kope, a Polynesian explorer, in the 14th century. The Polynesians settled here, eventually forming what would become the Maori tribe. The Maori's way of life was disrupted when European colonialism began. In the 17th century, Abel Tasman the British explorer discovered New Zealand, and not long after it was fully mapped by James Cook in the 18th century. Conflict arose, resulting in large swaths of Maori land being seized by British colonizers.

Today, New Zealand is part of the Commonwealth, and large strides have been taken to restore the dignity and wealth of the Maori. The country is also noted for being one of the first in the world to give women the right to vote.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16985839604267588.webp

Australia

Today, of course, we'll be discussing Australia. Its colonial history is a long and brutal one with effects that permeate into the modern day. With the arrival of the First Fleet on the island in 1788, Europeans were confronted with a strange land that they often did not understand or appreciate.

Europeans viewed the Australian land and people as ancient, primitive, and endemically resistant to progress. Such judgments reflected the Europeans' confused and defensive reaction to ecology and a way of living in a land very different from their own. This reaction allowed the Europeans to legitimize their colonization by casting themselves as superior to the ‘savage' Aborigines.

Their failure to appreciate the Aborigines' knowledge is evident in the Europeans' responses to fire. Although many early observers recognized that the Aborigines set fire to the land, they were at a loss to understand why and certainly did not see it as a crucial land management practice. Such an unthinking dismissal of an ancient practice is characteristic of the Europeans' views of the Aborigines as uncivilized and backward.

With the contextualization out of the way, we can begin our discussion on the three women. We'll be looking at what they did, what the public reaction was, and how the women reacted to the consequences of their actions. The three women are:

  • Mel Greig

  • Belle Gibson

  • Raina Thaiday

Without further ado, let's begin.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16985839568176222.webp


Mel Greig

Born in 1982, Mel Greig is no stranger to the media. In 2011, she participated in the Australian version of The Amazing Race, and she has also written for publications such as Yahoo Be.

In 2012, she began co-hosting the Hot30 Countdown on 2Day FM with Matty Acton, and then Mike Christian. This job wouldn't last for long. In December of the same year, she and her co-hosts decided to pull a prank. You see, at the time, Catherine Middleton, Princess of Wales, was in hospital in London. This was big news, and plenty of New Zealanders were sending their best wishes to the princess.

Mel and Mike pretended to be the king and queen, and they phoned the hospital, asking about Catherine. The phone was picked up by Jacintha Saldanha, a nurse at King Edward VII Hospital. Jacintha fell for the joke and even proceeded to forward them to the nurse who was taking care of Catherine. You can listen to the whole thing here:

Personally, I can't see how not one but two women fell for that. Jacintha was mortified when she discovered she had been bamboozled. Unable to face the humiliation, she committed suicide and left a note stating that the prank was the reason she did it.

The suicide caused a great backlash, and advertisers began boycotting the radio station. Mel was subjected to online bullying and hate mail which, in a strange turn of events, made her suicidal. Mel has taken responsibility for her role in the prank, and she has publicly expressed her regret at ever doing it.

I think she is an otherwise good person, and it was just an unlucky string of events that led to her being named in a suicide letter.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16985839572884257.webp


Belle Gibson

Belle Gibson was born in 1991, and by all accounts, she had a normal childhood. In her teen years, she picked up skateboarding, but that didn't last long. It is believed she dropped out of school in Year 10.

In 2013, Belle publicly claimed to have cancer. Not just cancer, but multiple cancers, including brain cancer and blood, spleen, uterine, liver, and kidney cancer. Shocking many, she claimed that she was shunning conventional medicine and treating herself through healthy eating.

Encouraging others to take the same route, she released an app called The Whole Pantry which outlined healthy eating for people with cancer. She also released a cookbook of the same name. Forever generous, Belle Gibson also claimed that a percentage of the proceeds would be going to charity. Her health claims continued, and she stated that she has had multiple heart surgeries and that she once suffered a stroke.

Of course, this couldn't continue indefinitely. Eventually, journ*lists began sniffing around and realized that Belle was lying a lot. Eventually, it was unearthed that she had never had cancer. She bamboozled people with a sob story to get them to buy her book. She also gave false hope to cancer patients and quite possibly turned them off conventional medicine.

Since the uncovering of her lie, Belle has been publicly shamed, and she received a hefty fine for making false claims about donating to charity. She has not paid these fines, which has led to her house being raided at least twice. She now claims that she is part of the Omoro tribe, though the tribe has denied this.

I think she's cute, and she should be forgiven.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16985839574109356.webp


Raina Thaiday

Despite the extent of this tragedy, there is very little information available on it. Raina Thaiday was a woman known to have schizophrenia. Despite this, she had at least nine children, and she lived with them, along with her neice and her child, in a single home. Her first child she gave birth to when she was 14.

Her oldest daughter, Norena Warrena, has described Raina as a very loving mother who was close to all her children. She was also a chronic marijuana user, which did not do favors for her mental health.

In December 2014, she had a schizophrenic episode that started with her killing the family duck and cleaning the house obsessively for a week to rid it of evil. A dove told her to kill her children, which she did. She killed 7 of them and a niece. The youngest victim was 2 and the oldest was 14. Her weapon of choice? A knife which she used to slash all the children in the home before she turned it on herself and stabbed herself 35 times.

She did not die, and after hospitalization, made a full recovery. She was put on trial for the murders, but it was found that she was not of sound mind when the murders occurred. Hence, she was taken to a mental healthcare facility instead, where she resides to this day.

CONCLUSION

Thanks for reading. Writing these is a nice distraction from the horrors of life as a poor incel. Sometimes I get so lonely it physically hurts. Tune in next time when we discuss the best Oprah episodes.

ACCUSED OF KILLING BABIES

In the following two cases, we have women who have been accused of ending the lives of children. In both cases, the women were found guilty, though their cases continue to be hotly debated. It is up to you to decide whether the evidence points to guilt or innocence.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16983414922678635.webp


Amanda Lewis

Amanda Lewis was a mother of two living in Florida. Her life was never easy, and she had already lived through the loss of one child. She had a son named AJ and a daughter named Adrianna. It was known that Amanda had a tough time raising her children, especially Adrianna who had ADHD and could be a handful.

On August 8, 2007, Amanda was indoors while the two children played in the backyard. There was a raised pool in the backyard that was too tall for the children to climb into.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1698341493355464.webp

Suddenly, AJ ran into the house telling Amanda that Adrianna is in the pool. Frantic, she runs outside and finds her daughter face down in the pool. She drags the child out and tries CPR while phoning the police.

Unfortunately, when emergency services arrive, there isn't much they can do and Adrianna is declared dead. Drownings happen all the time, plus there was a toy truck found next to the pool which seemed to explain how the child got in (used the truck as a step). Things took an unexpected turn when AJ started talking to his grandparents.

According to AJ, his mother's story isn't true. He claims Amanda was angry with Adrianna and wanted to punish her for spraying glass cleaner all over the house. So Amanda held Adrianna by the face and repeatedly dunked her in the pool until she drowned. Alarmed, the grandparents called the police, and the boy was interviewed.

What ensued next was one of the most important trials of the century, as a 6 year old's testimony would determine whether a woman would go to jail for murder. There are several factors that make Amanda look guilty. First, there's the testimony from the boy. Children lie, but this wasn't a normal kind of lie. Secondly, hand marks were found on Adrianna's face which squares up with AJ claiming the child was held by the face. Lastly, the home revealed that the children may have been abused or neglected. It was dirty, smelled of urine, and there were no toys for the children to play with.

There is also evidence in Amanda's favor. She did a polygraph test and passed it when asked about Adrianna's death. Secondly, AJ's story never remained consistent. Sometimes it would change and dip into fantasy, with AJ claiming he had a gun and shot at his mom. Other times, he would claim Adrianna told him to dial 911 while her head was underwater. So how much weight can you give a 6 year old's testimony? Lastly, Amanda was offered a 10 year plea deal. She refused, claiming she was innocent.

There was a long trial where AJ was called to testify. It's kinda sad because he cries when he sees his mom. Amanda was found guilty. She is still in prison today, professing her innocence. She never saw her son again after seeing him in the courtroom. Did she kill Adrianna? Is AJ lying? How does AJ feel about all of this now?

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16983414927809541.webp


Emily Defries

Emily Defries was a young woman with one child when she met Mr Belle, who had two daughters named Anna Belle and Emily Belle. They moved in together, which Emily liked because it meant the children could play together more.

One day, Emily was home with the three children. As far as she knew, 20 month old Anna was asleep while her two children were playing in their room. When she walked indoors, she gasped when she discovered Anna unresponsive at the bottom of the stairs. She called the police but when they arrived, they declared her dead.

An autopsy was done, and it was discovered that the child did not die from falling down the stairs. She had extremely severe injuries including a long gash on her back, a fractured skull, a bleeding stomach, and a broken arm. Emily was arrested, and she was accused of killing Anna. Emily denied this, claiming she had never hurt any child. Shockingly, she blames the older sister who is 8 years old.

In court, the defense argued that all the bruises and injuries were caused by the rambunctious 8-year-old. The big sister did have a history of being emotionally explosive, but you have to remember just how severe the injuries are. The big sister was questioned in court, but she answered "I don't know" to most questions. The prosecutors claimed that Emily hated Anna because she didn't want Emily to marry her dad. Furthermore, relatives stated that they had never seen bruises on Anna until Emily entered the picture.

Emily is found guilty of second-degree murder. Like Amanda, she was offered a plea deal which she declined. Emily still professes her innocence. So where do you like? Did Emily do it, or was it the big sister?

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16983414929625301.webp


CONCLUSION

As you read this cases, consider how many drowning cases may have been frustrated mothers who got tired of their children. Though these women are wicked, we should acknowledge that mothers are often asked to do the impossible, and they sometimes fail.

Tune in next time when we discuss Lucy Letby.

Spring

1st Granite

My name is Mistem ‘Rankine_911' Gikutmuthkat, broker, and I've somehow managed to get myself here despite not knowing what the heck I'm doing. We currently find ourselves trapped in our fortress, stuck behind closed gates while the undead wait for us outside. Unable to rely on trade from outside, this might be an opportune moment to start up our own steel industry with help from the recently discovered magma lake underground. Hopefully then we can better equip our militia for the eventual fight to drive off the undead.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16955790670199108.webp

Looking through the stockpiles we find quite the surplus of iron and coal but there is a complete lack of any flux stone which we'll need to begin smelting the steel. Fortunately, there is a limestone layer up near the surface and orders are given to begin mining it out. A work order is also put out to begin smelting pig iron, the first step in the process for making steel.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16955790672667558.webp

3rd Granite

Only a couple days into the spring and it seems as if the undead that were sieging us down have given up and left? This could be a great turn of fortune for the fort. There is no sign of the dark hunters that had kept us holed up in our fortress. We're still hesitant to open the gates just yet, but perhaps some trade caravans will stop by now. There does still seem to be an axedwarf corpse poking his head over our walls and interrupting the dwarves, but he doesn't seem to be much of a threat for the time being.

12th Granite

One of the dwarven children has gone stark raving mad and is now running around babbling, apparently as the result of a strange mood. Unfortunate, but there doesn't seem to be anything we can do for him now.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16955790676818752.webp

24th Granite

The axedwarf corpse that had previously been harassing our dwarves from outside the gates somehow managed to find a way inside. It was able to slaughter some of our animals but fortunately the militia was able to respond quickly to eliminate the threat. However the entrance to our fortress is now rather bloody.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16955790679321556.webp

12th Slate

With the undead siege having given up, it looks like a migrant wave has arrived! With the new migrants, we now have a population of 70 dwarves. The orders are given to open the gates and let them in, and work immediately begins on new bedrooms to accommodate the arrivals.

16th Slate

The Guild of Creatures, a farmers guild, has formed and is now demanding we build them a guildhall. Without any reason to deny them, work is begun on a new guildhall in the fortress.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16955790681471848.webp

24th Slate

Oh no.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1695579068226611.webp

A gila monster werebeast has come to attack our fort. However in what can only be described as a miracle, its stumbled directly into our trash compactor.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16955790682903123.webp

The orders are given to pull the lever and all that remains of the frightening creature is a splattering of blood on the ground. An admittedly anti-climatic ending but its for the best that none of the dwarves were brought into direct contact with the werebeast.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16955790684351768.webp

Summer

1st Hematite

Summer has begun. We've been hard at work expanding the base, but as for our originally plan of starting up a steel industry we've made a whopping total of 3 pig iron bars. In hindsight having to carry all that stone down to the magma lake was perhaps not a great idea. Hm.

3rd Hematite

Two thieves have been spotted, but thankfully it looks like we caught them before they were able to get inside.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16955790685265417.webp

The militia is raised, and the two thieves are quickly dispatched. It seems that we have a rather talented axe lord in our militia who was able to quickly lop off both of their heads.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16955790685667934.webp

8th Hematite

With such little progress made on smelting the pig iron, we begin to question why our work orders are taking so long. Its discovered that a huge number of dwarves are spending all their time just trying to keep the animals in the pasture. It's not clear what is causing them to keep running away, but it seems like it might be worthwhile to start slaughtering some of this vast herd of animals we have.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16955790687835217.webp

14th Hematite

A human caravan has arrived. We use this opportunity to sell off some of our old equipment in return for leather and cloth.

17th Hematite

The dwarves have decided that with the recent expansion of our fort this would be an appropriate time to elect a mayor. It is decided that @60horsesinmyherd, our expedition leader, should become the mayor of the fort. Work begins on making a bedroom and office of sufficient quality for such an important role in our fort.

27th Hematite

And more migrants have arrived. This might be getting to be too much to handle, we'll need to get to work making more beds now. Our population is now up to 79 dwarves. With this new wave of migrants, a rangers guild has been established and now also wants their own guildhall.

12th Malachite

One of our dwarves has been possessed, I wonder what this will lead to?

21st Malachite

And that possessed dwarf has created Sosadmot, a chestnut bucket.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16955790694180515.webp https://i.rdrama.net/images/1695579069492542.webp

20th Galena

The 10 pig iron bars have finally been smelted, and it only took nearly half of the year. Work is started next on smelting the steel. Some work is now being done to set up the stockpiles so that everything needed will be hauled down to the magma smelter which should hopefully speed things up a little.

Autumn

11th Limestone

A caravan has arrived from Atir Zas, and our mayor meets with the liaison (who is apparently a goblin?). There's nothing in particular we need, so no requests are made from them, however they do ask for us to supply meat next year and are willing to offer more than double for it.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16955790695905762.webp

2nd Timber

More migrants have arrived, and along with a couple of children born the previous month our population has now reached 91.

4th Timber

The first 10 steel bars have been smelted. The new stockpile was able to help speed things up after clearing up some confusion the dwarves had about where the stone should be hauled. We've assembled several more magma smelters and are now prepared to really get the steel production going.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16955790696781294.webp

Winter

4th Moonstone

It's now winter, and right away we find two more thieves outside our fortress. However, they are no match against our militia.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16955790698097553.webp

28th Obsidian

Winter passes us by mostly uneventfully and my year comes to an end. We've been hard at work smelting steel and now have a sizable supply ready for us to forge into whatever may be needed in the upcoming year. A baby was born this month, bringing our growing fort to a population of 92. Thanks to the incoming migrant waves, we are now seen as a town rather than just a hamlet. And with that, I will pass this chronicle over to the next dwarf.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16955790698583105.webp


Well that generally went better than expected. If it's not clear by now, I really don't know much about Dwarf Fortress and had only played for a few hours or so before jumping right into the succession fort. It's a game that I really want to like, but when I play it more often feels like I'm fighting against the UI rather than actually dealing with any game mechanics. As you can see, it took me half the year just to figure out how to get the stockpile set up so dwarves would actually bring stone to it.

As for the actual fort, the siege is over (not that I really had anything to do with it) and the population has more than doubled. I did have to save scum once when that zombie climbed over the walls because he somehow managed to kill the entire militia and I have no idea how. When I repeated it they took it out no problem. The werebeast could have been disastrous, but it walked right into the trash compactor. Other than that, the fort mostly just ran itself without much issue.

I will send the save back to @BFBugleberry since he was busy and had to pass on his turn.

He's still busy so its now @Yasharn's turn

In case anyone needs to verify Chis Hadfield's credentials: He's the f'ing man. We need more charismatic science and engineering leaders :marscientist: like him.

What now Anti-Muskers?? you gonna disagree with DA F'ING MAN?! I didn't think so :marseysmug2:

Insert "Two buttons meme". Does Reddit choose "Everything Musk does is bad", or "Chris Hadfield is literally Jesus Christ, even Keanu kneels before him"?

Hate the community of this website sometimes

:#marseyhesright:

It’s funny how the narrative is spun when it’s a company ran by someone everyone loves to hate… congrats to Elon and everyone at SpaceX.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 UH OH CHUD ALERT 🚨🚨🚨🚨

I hate Musk but I gotta give space X this one. They like to do these launches, their philosophy is to do them and collect data about what went wrong

of course you would say this now antimusker

A lot of braindead takes in this thread. Really waking me up to the fact that it's not just conservatives that are morons.

:marseywtf2: ARE THE CHUDS RISING UP?

To be clear, I hate Elon Musk with a burning passion, however, this is how rocket development generally goes. Basically, the massive stresses of rocket flight means a million complex systems have to work properly in an incredibly intense environment to work. Rocket development is a series of stress tests until you reach a point where things no longer explode. To have a new rocket design that has very impressive lifting capabilities manage to get that far on its first actual flight is pretty good.

:marseyelonpaypig:

this is like saying "TO BEEE CLEAR I AM A CIS WOMAN in TWOX"

On one hand i really don't care for Musk. On another im excited for the steps this has helped the industry take and if it helps brilliant minds and ideas of the future im all for it.

Yeah bud hes been craving your approval :marseyxd:


ALL THESE COMMENTS ARE IN THE NEGATIVES, DID THE !chuds WIN? !nonchuds HOW DID YA'LLAH END UP AT THE BOTTOM!?

The launch is interesting but I find it so difficult to separate my disdain for Musk and the achievements of SpaceX.

You better clap and cheer if you work for Elon, or you'll be out of a job come Monday

Hate to see what he would call “Unsuccessful”…

>For some reason, I really don’t like this guy.

The issue isnt that people dont want to explore and learn. Its that a private company is being funded by publix money and they will develop things with a primary objective of profiting off those developments in the future. Capitalism has absolutely corrupted space exploration and working people have issues that need fixing, seeing money that shouldnt be going to private corporations blow up in the air is a reminder that this isnt for the pure honest search for discovery but rather the corrupt greed of the owners of capital

just the title alone seems like he's overcompensating with the Trumpian "enormously"

propaganda

Yep Musk paid this spacesuitcel to say good things :marseymerchant:

But my fav so far is this

[I don’t get why this is an achievement? We are cheering on a company that is actively working against science and many experts. The guy in charge of it is a neo-nazi butthole who doesn’t know what to do with his money. It probably polluted a huge area because methane is horrible for the atmosphere and ecological communities. And if we look at NASA, sure you can say that SLS was slow to develop, but they got a lot more out of being successful on the first run than they did when they threw shit at a wall a saw what stuck.]

another

Welfare rockets. Space X is privatized profits and publicly funded. Another of elons scams, stealing from the public and littering space with debris.

OH BTW LOTS OF COMMIE SEETHE TOO IN THERE CHECK IT OUT THEY POP OUT LIKE CARP POSTS DURING SLOW DAY

Ya, I’m a life time space flight fan, and SpaceX has done some amazing things, but I’m just not buying that this was success. Success was if it entered orbit like all the Saturn5s did. Sure they might be able to fix what went wrong, but engines failing is a design flaw. The PR people don’t need to over hype the parts of the launch that went well. I know one thing, it’s going to be a long long haul before they put astronauts on this rocket bomb.

That makes no sense. You don’t build a hundred million dollar or billion dollar rocket and then cheer when it explodes. People need to use their common sense. It was a disaster.

:s#oyjaktantrum:

There is so much more seethe :marseyseethe: at the bottom is delicious

In the end I would warmly welcome Musk and Chris into the !illuminati

EFFORTPOST Auberginegate - The Phillip Schofield Drama Continues

Sorry for the lack of updates. I know each and every one of you have waiting for the next episode of the saga. It consumes your every thought. It's the first thing you think of when you wake up. Let's get to it!

Recap: Phillip Schofield was a presenter on British television. He had spent his whole life in media, and most notably hosted This Morning with HOLLY WILLOUGHBY.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1686806634989957.webp

Phillip Schofield came out as gay a few years ago, and he left behind his wife of several decades and his two daughters. Brave! Recently, Schofield admitted he had an inappropriate relationship with a young man on ITV. He had also gotten this man a job. Though Schofield insists that the sexual stuff only happened when the boy was of age, there is evidence that they knew each other since he was 10. This has given rise to rumors that even if it was legal, there was some grooming involved.

LATEST EVENTS

1. AUBERGINEGATE

Lets begin with Auberginegate. Journ*lists hounded the head of ITV for comments on the Schofield saga which has gripped the world. The response? "Do you like Aubergine?" For Yankees, aubergine is eggplant AKA the PEEPEE EMOJI. What did he mean by this? Is it code for something? Trolling? Who the frick knows!

The response got the attention of British parliament.

2. WHAT DID THE HEADS OF ITV KNOW?

The heads of ITV were grilled by MPs in parliament. This is an event that will dictate the future of our species. It will affect Holly Willoughby's career!

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16868066372872877.webp

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1686806642656334.webp

During the meeting, ITV chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall told MPs the affair was "deeply inappropriate", but that she had not had evidence until recently. ITV director of television Kevin Lygo told the MPs: "He looked me in the eye and promised me that there was absolutely no truth whatsoever in this, in the rumours of this relationship."

>Dame Carolyn added: "We asked multiple times of both individuals, both formally and informally. Because we had no evidence, no-one brought us anything tangible, either on the production floor or from the outside... there was only hearsay and rumour and speculation."

>That was a reference to a recent remark made by This Morning editor Martin Frizell when he was asked by a Sky News reporter whether his programme had a toxic workplace. "I'll tell you what's toxic and I've always found it toxic. Aubergine," he replied.

3. HOLLY WILLOUGHBY SURVIVES SCHOFIELD DRAMA

Holly has returned to her rightful throne as the queen of daytime British television. Unemployed brits on benefits, stay-at-home mums, and folks waiting in dentist offices can once again rest assured that Holly Willoughby will be on that screen goddammit.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1686806642853539.webp

While she has returned, it is just not the same. Without Pip beside her, there aren't as many cute giggles from her. She has had a few co-hosts, but it seems Dermon is destined to be Phillip's replacement.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16868066459362872.webp

Will schofield off himself? Will ITV survive this scandal? What the frick was the aubergine comment about? What about Holly?! Stay tuned for more updates.

EFFORTPOST Orania: The town that has been causing drama for over 31 years

Introduction :#marseyfluffy:

In 1991, a group of 13 individuals bought a small piece of land in the middle of the desolate and dry desert of South Africa. This group had dreams and hopes of creating a prospering town for its people. However since its establishment, the town has been in an endless cycle of controversy with journoids all across the globe and the South African goverment sneeding that the town is an abomination that shouldn't exist. That town is Oriana.


Knowledge is Power :#marseyreading: :#marseybigbrain:

We must educate and familiarize ourselves with these terms:

  • Afrikaan - Colonizing Mayos who originated from germany, france, or the Netherlands

  • Boer - Means farmer but is used interchangeably with Afrikaan since most of them were farmers

  • Volkstaat - A proposed view to establish an all-white Afrikaner homeland within the borders of South Africa, most commonly proposed as a fully independent Boer/Afrikaner nation. The concept excludes Afrikaans-speaking coloureds and South Africans of English ancestry, yet is sometimes misunderstood to include them.


The Birth of a Nation Town :#marseypilgrim:

Shortly after the end of Apartheid in South Africa in the early 90's, The goverment of South Africa attempted to move forward in bringing all the diverse amd vibrant communities together in pursuit of a functional multicultural society.

:#marseydiversity:

Afrikaans realizing that they'll lose their majority rule and would have a harder time passing legislation, decided the best way to show umbrage with the new rules was to seperate and create an ethnically monogamous country of their own kind within South Africa. Unfournately for those Afrikaans they had virtually no chance in their conquest for land against the SA military and general population.

An example image of the Volkstaat the Afrikaan dreamed of creating:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16841352927641678.webp

But those subversive Afrikaans noticed a loop hole in the document (and later the constitution) "Accord on Afrikaner self-determination" that they could exploit to their advantage. Specifically the following amendment dealing with minority groups:

The Constitution may give expression to any particular form of self-determination provided there is substantial proven support within the community concerned for such a form of self-determination.

There's an excessive amount of legal jargon that we're gonna skip over because its boring :marseyyawn:. The key take away is that this allowed for Orania to legally create its own pseudo-Apartheid community. That's exactly what the Mayos Afrikaans of Orania did.


Afrikaan Utopia :#marseykwanza:

The original purpose of Orania was to form a self reliant society that was built from only the labor of purebred Afrikaans living in their town. Well technically, the original purpose of Orania was to expand in population and create a majority of Afrikaans in the northwestern cape within 15 years after the establishment of Orania. But, this plan was dropped due to Orania population not being able to breed enough and never reaching a population count of more than 3,000 individuals. It never even began for infertile mayos :marseymayo:

However, that isn't to say that the community was a total failure. In 1991, the town was formed by 13 individuals and in [current year] has reached a decent population size of 2,377. The town has made significant progress in growing its economy, especially due to the fact the town is located in the middle of nowhere in a desert.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16841352932539945.webp

Their main agriculture export is also pecans

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16841352941367195.webp

Oriana has also created its own currency (but no one outside of the town recognizes it):

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16841352945434566.webp

Alongside their own currency, they also have their own president and flag:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16841352949850972.webp

Flag is a bit weird looking, but what do you expect from mayos :marseysmug4:

Additionally, every house in Orania is built with solar power. This is one of their steps to becoming self-reliant and eco friendly:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1684135295796098.webp

Article Link

So instead of being regular facist chuds they're eco-facist chuds :marseytree:

Orania is expectionally selective in choosing which residents can move and live there. Generally several requirements have to be met to be granted permission to move there. These include:

  • Passing several criminal background checks

  • Having Afrikaan ancestry

  • Passing an Afrikaan culture test

  • Interviews with the Orania council members

The requirements ensures that the majority of the town is full of mayos. The diabolical plan was beyond successful. As of 2021 the current makeup of Orania is 97% Afrikaans (Yikes :marseycringe2:). Weirdly enough this has led to Orania having such a low crime rate that the town doesn't even have a police station. .

:#marseywrongthonk:

The town itself is very small with the total land of it being only 3.5 square miles. Orania currently has plans to reach a population of 10,000 and undergo urbanization in an effort to spread the cultural ideals of the Afrikaan "people".


Born from Sneed :marseysneed:

Since it's inception, Orania has been constantly scrutinized and sneeded at for having too much mayonnaise in its town. I'm not even exaggerating either. Every year mutiple sneed articles are written about this literally who town across the world from j*urnoids that dont even live there.

Here's a new york times article from 1994 talking about it. The article also contains this hilarious passage:

Mr. Vaughn, 33, said he moved here [Orania] from Los Angeles after being arrested for child abuse in the beating of his 5-year-old son. "Ach, you can't even give your child a hiding there," he said of the land he left behind. He came to Orania two years ago because he admired the "Calvinist values" and racial outlook, and was warmly welcomed with his wife, Brenda, and five children. A few neighbors objected when they learned Brenda Vaughn is three-sixteenths Cherokee, but, said Mr. Vaughn, "I threatened to beat a few people up and it died down."

History truly is beautiful :!marseyclapping:

Here are some relevant modern takes sneeding about Orania:

As expected, sneed about this town has been growing every year as the world is forced learning to embrace diversity (Our greatest strength!).

The South African goverment has sneeded at Orania every year and wants the town to be shutdown permanently and to accept South Africa's rainbow nationalism policy. But the town people just ignore the SA government since they have never taken action once against the town since its creation 21 years ago :marseyxd:

Panyaza Lesufi is a parliment member that despises Orania so much that he's called for the abolition of the city full of "mindless racists". Weirdly enough, the majority of the Orania population don't even consider themselves white but rather Afrikaan.

Let's head to the some current year drama of this irrelevant town :marseypopcorn:


Twitter Drama :#marseybluecheck:

Recently there was post on this site that revolved around a fragile mayo strangling a black boy for swimming in a mayos only pool. This conflict sparked discourse about racism within South Africa, and of course people began discussing Orania:

Orania must be banned, we cannot have a white only town in South Africa, not acceptable. If white people want to live on their own, they must go to Europe, not in Africa.

Based. Everyone should stay in whatever country their born and never be allowed to move or immigrate

Imagine going to live far away in the desert, just to be left alone, only to still be pathologically obsessed over by people who can't even find you on a map if they were given 1000 guesses.

This guy is unironically right. For all the news coverage and sneed that Orania gets for being on stolen land, they occupy only 3.5 square miles. But they live rent free in the minds of the South African population.

:#marseychudrentfree:

It’s private land, surely they can do what they like on private land? They are not disturbing anyone, living peacefully in their own space and retaining their culture. Why such chest pains over a tiny little place that has no bearing on your life at all?

Bullshit, we have many different races and cultures in this country, and no one stops a particular race from practicing their culture in our multiracial society. These Afrikaners in Orania are racist, we must stop them

Every race should be able to practice their culture except the ones I dont like!

:#marseythonk:

We must go build our houses there and turn it into a city

"If they won't accept willingly, than we'll make them accept us with force"

:#marseyblm:

What Our Grandfather's Failed To Do During Apartheid, We Need To Start Reminding White People They Are European And South Africa Belongs To Black South Africans We Will Not Shrink Ourselves To Accommodate Them The Soil Is Ours We Can No Longer Entertain European Rejects.

Europe has loads of black people now, who ran away from their leaders and they live there in peace. Are you saying they must also come back ?

You don't see us over there harassing white people because of their skin color you don't see us forcefully taking land from the poor causing division because we are not sick in the head like you mfs to think we deserve it all and other humans don't matter now argue about that

:#marseysquint:

Lmao at European rejects

South Africans need to understand that so long as govt endorsed separatists towns like Orania exists, we will Never root out racism. Government has rubber stamped white supremacy We made racists feel comfortable in our own land. The fault is ours and those we voted for.

We cannot have whites showing they can run an efficient village without government funding . Makes us look bad

:#marseyemojirofl:

Volkstaat is an account of an Orania citizen. They post constant updates about the town and the different projects the townspeople are working on. Great place to find drama since people are always sneeding in the comments

There seems to be a misconception that Orania is some magical utopia where everything functions automatically. No. We work hard to keep it going and continue to build our city. It is very demanding to live here. We pay for it all and do all the work.

That's our land you must return it or pay rent for that piece of land

The Afrikaners actually did purchase the land from the South African goverment before they established their chud-town. It also led to the displacement of about 500 African individuals who lived there. However, I feel that the goverment is more to blame for this but who knows? :marseyshrug:

Oranians install a water meter. All labour is done with our own hands. We have worked very hard to get to this point. So much more to do but we are proud of our BIG little town.

Enjoy your little town while it last foreigners

What did he mean by this?

Making new roads in Orania. Our humble town is a massive construction site. A home for the Afrikaner.

Develop my guy... tell us when you are done then we invade our land

So you cannot develop where you staying? harrasing a small town who just want do better themselves? you call yourself a man of God?

Racism has no place in this world

Anyway, you say you want to take the land? Just to give you perspective, looking up into Africa, many own land, but still VERY POOR. Land does not make you rich. Creating value does.

Oh that's what he meant


Reddit Drama :#marseysnoo:

Some dramatic reddit threads on Orania:

Reddit Thread Link

So they segregated, themselves?

Yeah and given how they are treated by their peers, I can’t really blame them.

Won’t someone please think it the racists!!!” How is this back bush shit upvoted??

well considering apartheid south africa and these communities actively defending it…they deserve everything they get lol 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Most of these people weren't even born when it was abolished tough?

your point is? You think there isnt a knock on effect of past events in modern society?

If we want to move forward as a society we must hold grudge and hate from years ago and never let people forget what their ancestors did (This but unironically)

As a white South African speaking on behalf of most other whites in this country, we don't approve of these communities. Every country has its bad apples, and it's sad that others have to feel guilty for their nonsense, but hey, it is what it is.

Why? Shouldn’t people be allowed to decide who can be in their community?

Thats called discrimination buddy

:#marseyagreefast:


Final Thoughts

So far the fate of Orania and its Afrikaan individuals reamins unknown. The hate for the town grows every year from South African citizens and the government but it looks like it's going to go nowhere :marseysal: in the next couple of years based on past trends.

If you do have time, you should definitely check out the history page on wikipedia or other sites. There's a lot I couldn't include that was somewhat interesting given the long history of the town.

Either way I hope you enjoyed this lengthy read, no better way to end the year with one final effortpost for 2022. Have a wonderful new years friends!
