  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

Man, my brain cooks up some wild shit when its left idle.
 
I was just about to go get food, checked my account and shit that hadn't charged me in months because it was canceled all hit today to steal forty bucks from me!

I did what you're supposed to do in this situation and guess what? 7-10 business days.

Motherfucker…

Someone tried to tell me the US needed back up in WW1 and that the American army didn't exist back then.

Relevant old post. And it's only barely an exaggeration.

To this day, the Onion has my absolute favorite summary of WWI.

But yes, that idea is pretty stupid. The USA was the backup for their side, and they had the benefits of not joining the war early and not being on the same continent as the vast majority of the fighting. I don't know if the Central Powers would have won, but the USA showing up broke a literally entrenched deadlock that otherwise didn't look like it was going anywhere any time soon.

The idea that "the US Army didn't exist before WWI" could be technically true, if the military at the time had a different logistical and command structure, enough so that when it was revamped, it was considered a different organization altogether. But I don't think even that applies.

WWI was the war almost everyone saw coming, nobody wanted, nobody could figure out how to stop, and even the winning side was severely damaged. The USA was the closest thing to a winner, because thanks to repositioning themselves after arriving late and suffering minimal fighting and damage on their territory, they became the global superpower.
