  • …Sounds made up? Sounds made up?!?

    You mean to tell me you’re here lecturing me about Robert Maxwell’s connections, while not knowing that he was, and I’m gonna directly quote Wikipedia here: “…afforded a lavish funeral in Israel, attended by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, Israeli President Chaim Herzog, at least six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence[68] and many dignitaries and politicians, both government and opposition, and was buried on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.[69][70] Herzog delivered the eulogy, and the Kaddish was recited by his friend and longtime attorney Samuel Pisar.[71]”?

    Goddamn, I even gave you the proper name of the cemetery. You’d think you’d at least google “Robert Maxwell Olive Mount”, but no, “sounds made up”. Jesus fucking Christ, you people…














  • The joke isn’t thar it’s not true, it’s that World of Tanks is full of the kind of people who will drop everything they’re doing to defend him.

    And kinda. Not sure how deep of a true believer her was, but he was definitely close with the head guy, and allegedly got promoted very quickly as a consequence. Which, conveniently: he was arguably an excellent officer, perhaps one of the best Germany had, but used his aforementioned influence to get promoted way, waaaaay above his capacity at the time, and then subordinate the entire front to himself. This led to a series of stunning victories that ended in a resounding strategic defeat, which makes perfect sense when the guy who’s supposed to be the general is off playing officer because that’s all he knows.
