  1. As to the idea about Vikings being more tolerant of LGBT-minorities. There is a historical insult in old Norse language that was considered so vile that in some places you were not only legally allowed to kill a person who called you this name, but you were OBLIGED to kill the person who called you this, or else the rest of society would assume that the insult is true and you would lose your social standing completely. This insult is "Rasragr". It's refers to a man who will adopt a sexually submissive position during intercourse with another man (I'll let you who read this figure out what that means in detail). A culture that promotes the killing of people who insult you by refering to you as homosexual will hardly be a very "tolerant" culture towards homosexuality in general.

  3. I don't think The Joker himself really knows how he got those scars. The problem with insanity is that your own memory can become an unreliable narrator.

  4. Imagine an English peasant on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem finding himself in a land of deserts and palm trees. To him it must've felt like visiting another planet entirely! Modern people may not have been to places where palm trees grow in the wild, but media makes us somewhat familiar with them regardless. But to a medieval english peasant, he would've probably never seen anything like it.

  5. How to get patriotic americans to switch to the metric system: tell them that Imperial was forced upon them by british redcoats. ;)

  6. "Plate armour didn't offer full protection. There were gaps where the wearer could get stabbed. Therefore it would've been better wearing no armour at all! So you can get stabbed anywhere on the body instead!" Derp, logic?

  7. The Mannerheim strategy is something that most Scandinavian countries seek to employ as well. In terms of population, we're rather small countries. We don't have an inexhaustible amount of troops to defend with. So the doctrines focus on making it too expensive for a larger aggressor to occupy the countries. We're too few to stop them from coming in. So it's all about making their stay as fucking miserable and expensive as humanly possible, in order to make any occupation worth attempting.

  9. If Guy Ritchie had any sense, he'd write and direct a film about Lenny's life. The movie would be a smasher.

  10. Annoying as it is, this arrest probably did your content creator career a favor. A boatload of people found out about you and your channel this way. So I hope the Nanny state of Britain is happy that by trampling on your basic human rights, they massively boosted your fame.

  11. In the world of Mad Max, Evel Kneivel would probably be worshipped as a God.

  12. Apu is shown as "extremly backwards"? 🤔 He's one of the few characters in the show that isn't a complete idiot.

  13. I really feel for this girl. She knows she has access to a sizeable portion of money thanks to everyone who generously donated. But at the same time, she want's to do "right" by everyone who donated, and so stays frugal with the funds. It must feel like a great responsibility. It's sad that it doesn't fix the situation right away, but at the same time it is a good sign that she takes this generosity of strangers very seriously. I wish I could "coach" her on a regular basis. Help her with paperwork and all that. It comes easy to people without these mental disorders but can be really challenging for someone in her situation to do it alone. :(

  15. The courts be like: "Just beg for mercy and the pain will stop". Count Dankula be like: "FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOM!!!"

  16. Seems like the Korean entertainment industry promotes a very unhealthy relationship between the K-pop idols and their fans. Fan worship is neither healthy for the performers nor for the fans. It's okay to appreciate someones music and performance. But when you worship a performer like some kind of god or run around feeling entitled to their private life it causes a very warped perception of normal social boundaries.

  17. Modern myth spreaders: "Using guns was dishonourable!" Oda Nobunaga: "Losing wars was dishonourable"

  18. When you're the gunner of a tiger tank, looking at your targets through the optics. Are you then watching them all with the eeeeeeeeye of the tiger?
    910
  19. Fun fact: fictional serial killers are usually way cooler than actual serial killers. Actual serial killers are rarely these excentric and highly intelligent psychopaths like Hannibal Lecter, Patrick Bateman or John Kramer. Often they are of mediocre intelligence and fraught with various mommy issues and experience with being traumatized by sexual molestation and child abuse.

  20. All the cast members go out for beers after shooting... Brie is never invited. :P

  21. Fun fact, Eels can become very old. In Sweden an exceptionally old Eel called The Brantevik Eel had lived in a well for 155 years. You see, in Sweden (and probably other parts of the world too) people would put live eels in wells to keep the water clean from bugs, algae and other creatures because the eel would eat them.
    842
  22. He really should pass along those skills for the sake of keeping the tradition alive. Ninjutsu evidently played a large part in shaping the Japanese society into what it was and what it is now. So for posterity and insight into history, it should be maintained instead of simply being lost.
    807
  23. So ironically, if you went for realistic tank formations for a movie, you could easily get away with just using 1-2 real tanks, and just use CGI to add some blurry outlines of tanks in the distance for every shot? That could certainly trim down a movie budget by a lot 😄
    781
  24. I kind or wish that Dank would've said "HE ATE A BABY" in his heavy scot accent. :)
    767
  25. "It's not for everyone" Nor should it be. Special interests should be nurtured. But corporate greed is always in stark opposition to it.
    744
  26. So four people murder several people. Yet only one of them is hanged for the crimes. Scottish justice system as usual I guess. XD

  27. The Lotus Eaters are clearly moving up in the world when they can get former prime ministers on for interviews.

  30. Seems the homeless back then was very different from today. Did you know that hobos in the late 1800's even had their own national convention and a list of ethics to follow? They did illegally travel by train hopping, but at the same time their list of ethics do seem rather decent to me. The list is as follows: Decide your own life; don't let another person run or rule you. When in town, always respect the local law and officials, and try to be a gentleman at all times. Don't take advantage of someone who is in a vulnerable situation, locals or other hoboes. Always try to find work, even if temporary, and always seek out jobs nobody wants. By doing so you not only help a business along, but ensure employment should you return to that town again. When no employment is available, make your own work by using your added talents at crafts. Do not allow yourself to become a stupid drunk and set a bad example for locals' treatment of other hoboes. When jungling in town, respect handouts and do not wear them out; another hobo will be coming along who will need them as badly, if not worse than you. Always respect nature; do not leave garbage where you are jungling. If in a community jungle, always pitch in and help. Try to stay clean, and boil up wherever possible. When traveling, ride your train respectfully. Take no personal chances. Cause no problems with operating crew or host railroad. Act like an extra crew member. Do not cause problems in a train yard; another hobo will be coming along who will need passage through that yard. Do not allow other hoboes to molest children; expose all molesters to authorities – they are the worst garbage to infest any society. Help all runaway children, and try to induce them to return home. Help your fellow hoboes whenever and wherever needed; you may need their help someday. If present at a hobo court and you have testimony, give it. Whether for or against the accused, your voice counts!

  31. Even in ancient rome, hiring the services of prostitutes would cost money right? So clearly the equation doesn't add up. If people spent all day at brothels and didn't go to work at all, them eventually their money would run out due to lack of income.

  32. The most badass looking helmet of WWII.
    644
  33. Suspects hopped up on PCP can turn into a veritable terminator sometimes. PCP causes dissasociative conditions in users. So they have that whole "out of body" experience. You can shoot them with almost anything and they can punch through windshields with their fists, breaking every single bone in their hand without flinching.
    643
  34. One stark difference would be the forests though. Finland is mostly covered in forests. Ukraine is very wide and open. The Ukrainians don't have the same kind of cover out in the wilds, forcing them to set up defensive positions inside towns and cities. Which naturally leads to a lot of collateral damage, because the Russians don't take any chances. If they suspect any building is harbouring Ukrainian resistance, they bombard it. During the Winter War, the Finns could just melt away in the forests, leaving very few targets for Russian heavy weapons to fire at.

  37. All I want to know is: where is the illegality in all of this? Does the first amendment cease to be relevant because you got paid by someone to exercise free speech?

  38. Before resuming the video, I just wanted to say again: all the best to your mother, Raf! Hope she makes a full recovery and she gets many happy years to come.

  39. Maybe a bit nitpicky, but one thing that could also have been discussed is how Ryan authorized the use of the pheromone plasmid, which essentially functions as mind control of people, in his civil war against Fontaine. There's an audio diary in the first game I believe, where Ryan tries to justify to himself how taking away free will from individuals by utilizing the pheromone plasmid is somehow the right thing to do in order to maintain his vision of Rapture. So Ryan didn't merely resort to regular dictatorship methods by constructing turrets and cameras and armed police to quash dissidents. He even went so far as to manipulate people's minds biochemically to maintain control of Rapture.

  40. It's hard to disrespect a master thief like this. Especially when he's not engaging in any actual violent crime, or steal from regular people, but instead pull off high class heists against banks and museums only.
    528
  41. All things considered, the survivors were pretty lucky. Plane crashes like these usually don't have any survivors at all. Usually only crash landings do, as in where the pilots notice that something is wrong and have some time to navigate the plane towards the ground at a somewhat safer velocity and angle. In situations where pilots get completely blind sided it's usually game over.

  45. I can't say I know what the Italians thought of Rommel. But i'm sure many vigorous hand gestures were involved.
    479
  46. Fun fact about the film Lawrence of Arabia: the movie was initially banned in many arab countries because they thought that it would misrepresent a lot of arab historical characters. But then Omar Sharif arranged a viewing with President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt to show him that there was nothing wrong with the way they were portrayed. Nasser loved the movie and allowed it to be released in Egypt, and it became a smash hit among egyptian movie goers. Also, when they were shooting the film in Jordan, Alec Guinness resembled King Faisal so closely that a lot of people mistook him for the actual King Faisal when he was wearing the costume and make-up. I watched Lawrence of Arabia for the first time quite recently, and I can highly recommend the film. The production value is off the charts, and not solely "for it's time". There's battle scenes in it that rivals the Lord of the Rings films in it, only there is no CGI whatsoever, so all that mounted cavalry you see is played by real people riding real horses and camels. It's quite a spectacle.
    475
  47. I like it how they're unironically crowd surfing just to be able to punch another crowd surfer in the face XD

  48. Rest in peace Marvin. You got a rotten hand dealt to you. But you did at least get even in the end.

  49. Saying "learn to code" = "death threat".

  50. You're a good man Nobita-San, as is everyone who donated to help this woman. It's very sad that she haven't been able to arrange some accomodations yet. But these donations have NOT been in vain. Mental health problems take time to adress and will be a struggle for her. It's important to be supportive of her efforts right now. Going to the clinic for counseling is a huge step in the right direction.
    443
  51. That's right Posie. Never apologize. If they accuse you of something, be stone faced and just double down. The left views apologies and explanations as a weakness. So don't humour them by trying to be agreeable.
    426
  52. Sam Hyde responding "I'm a grifter, i'm a thief" is really a 4d chess move. Since he knew Ian's intentions all along, and Ian is basically doing the exact same hustle as Sam, Sam is basically calling Ian a thief and a grifter to his face.
    415
  53. The first Lovecraft story I ever read was The Colour Out Of Space. It was remarkable how he could conjure up an image of something that is genuinely undescribable. I've been hooked on Lovecraft stories ever since.

  54. Eftersläntrare = straggler

  55. Because the Nazis lost the war. And the communists belonged to the winning side. Winners always write history, and they always portray the losers as the ultimate enemy to mankind.

  56. Honestly, the community of the sword here on youtube should be advisors for historical movies.

  57. Larry must've felt like a god during those first minutes outside the bank.

  58. It's not just not wanting to fight for Britain. We've also seen how the British government is intensely disloyal towards it's troops. Like with that stellar example of the government wanting to prosecute veterans who followed their orders when dealing with the IRA during the troubles, several years after the fact. Like you're told what to do by one government and you follow those orders. Then another government several decades later decides that you should be prosecuted for following orders. What kind of a moron would sign up for that and also put their own life on the line?
    377
  59. The interviewees in Osaka do seem more enthusiastic and friendly compared to the interviews you've done in other Japanese cities actually.
    376
  60. Ok, so Spartacus Blood and Sand deviated a lot from historical accuracy and even combat sense sometimes but hear me out: one cool thing they did when shooting some fight scenes in the arena I remember was as if they had a camera INSIDE the gladiators helmets to show the actors faces. I had never seen something like it before in a setting focusing on ancient or medieval culture and I found it to be a really cool touch. So if you have to show the actors face while wearing a combat helmet, then do something like that rather than this mess with half visors. For pittance sake! :S

  61. Come on lads! Let's pump those numbers up for the Celtic Myths series!

  62. "Escort?... You okay?... I believe she's dead" Now there's a line that can't be taken out of context. :P
    354
  63. If you make a weaker tank look like a tiger, isn't that a small strategic benefit? It might fool enemy recon and make the enemy act in a different (hopefully desirable) way.

  64. "My wild side" In other words, she was ridden by more men than a village bicycle...
    350
  65. I suspect there are museums in China dedicated to events like the Nanjing massacre and the like. Are there any tourist agencies dedicated to Japanese tourists to visit such museums? I think the younger generations in Japan would be curious about learning more, but their government and education system is run by older generations who refuse to admit fault, so they don't teach students thw history about it. Many people here in Europe travel to the holocaust museum located in the former Auscwitz concentration camp to learn more about what happened. I think japanese visitors to such a museum would be beneficial for the relations between the chinese and japanese people, and influence public opinion in Japan about getting the government to admit what happened instead of trying to sweep it under the rug.

  70. Chinese crossbows are so cool. I'm particularly fond of the Shuko-Nu. Yes it's not the most powerful crossbow in history. But the fact that they invented a SEMI-AUTOMATIC crossbow is a pretty darned respectable feat of engineering in my view.
    310
  71. So on christmas morning during WWII... Getting coal in your stocking was a good thing?
    304
  72. Makes me happy that Japan still has the death penalty to get rid of people like Shoko. Can't say I care if he was "insane" or not. After certain crimes, execution really is the only cure.
    302
  73. I like that you have no qualms about interjecting comments about fantasy setting scenarios alongside the history facts. Makes the whole presentation less "stuffy" and overall pleasantly nerdy. 🙂
    296
  74. If I was Musk, I would kick out the current legal team asap, and hire a completely new one. You can never trust these people to be professional. If Musk or Twitter face any legal challenges, the current legal team might purposefully offer bad legal advice in order to land Musk into trouble as revenge for taking over the company.

  78. He didn't work for the money. He worked for solving that mathematical problem.
    291
  79. Ngl, Carolus Rex kind of deserves a Mad Lad video of his own.
    284
  80. Essentially, kamikaze attacks gave the japanese something akin to self-guided cruise missiles. Something that hadn't been invented yet. So naturally that would grant them an edge.
    282
  81. "Periods"... Is actually a euphemism too. The correct term is "menstruation" or "menstruating".
    280
  82. "My own gut reaction..." What kind of historian uses his gut reaction as evidence? :S
    280
  83. Alternative history idea: "The Black Undeath" Based in Europe during the ravages of the Black Death... But the victims succumbing to the sickness rise from the dead as zombies.
    277
  84. That scene when they catch Bennings with his arm mutated out in the snow, and Bennings let out that otherworldly scream... Hands down, the most haunting scene in the entire film. I remember thinking that his face looks deceptively human, but whatever is lurking behind his eyes is something else entirely.
    271
  85. I always interpreted Ruby Rhod as a kind of stinging social satire. How women will fawn over basically the strangest things so long as the thing has celebrity status.
    264
  86. John did nothing wrong. If someone tries to cheat you out of money they owe you, you should ensure that the cost of doing so far outweigh the money they should've paid you in the first place.
    263
  87. This makes me think of John McLane from the early Die Hard movies. Now Bruce Willis knows how to be stoic, but John ended up being a both likeable and relatable character. Because while he is stoic when he's calm, he definitely express a lot of emotion when being backed into a corner by the bad guys (the office shootout scene in Die Hard 1) or when he has to do something absolutely terrifying to make it out of a situation alive (jumping off the exploding Nakatomi Tower rooftop exploding with only a jury rigged firehose preventing him from falling to his death). So while he does a lot of alpha male, badass stuff, he also comes across as human and very vulnerable giving the situations he finds himself in.

  88. Every woman in this video is at least 8-10.

  89. Warthunder sponsoring an involuntarily controversial youtuber like yourself is a sure way of getting my respect.
    253
  90. What I like about ancient roman grafitti is how there are a lot of really crass and vulgar examples of it. Just like the kind or scribbles you might find in a restroom at a bar or pub or in a school. 🤣 Now I don't condone vandalism of other people's property, but the similarities in crass and vulgar content to contemporary times kind of humanize the romans for me. They were literally shitposting 2000 years before the internet! 🤣
    241
  91. Labour: "We need to seize the means of production from the capitalist class!" Actual labourers: "Uhm, we don't want to take the property of the capitalist class. We want someone to make sure that the capitalist class give us a well deserved piece of the pie, instead of running off with all of the pie."

  94. If we use shotgun terms here... Does she have an "over under" or a "side by side"? 🤔
    234
  95. Always had a good report with bouncers. They've even let me into clubs when I was so drunk of my ass I didn't even know what part of town I was in. Just be friendly, cooperative and don't stumble around like a zombie and they'll usually let you enjoy your evening.
    232
  96. Remember to play "Battery" by Metallica when setting up your battery position.
    231
  97. The cringe you feel when watching africans do what they see as "firing a weapon"... No wonder naked "warriors" start believing their nudity makes them bulletproof. It's surprising if they can hit a goddamned thing.
    230
  98. Do you mean to tell me that Braveheart was historically incorrect about some aspects? 😮 Perish the thought!
    225
  99. For the record: I have the exact same objections to Yasuke in Assassins Creed Shadows as I would have if Ubisoft announced a game called "Assassins Creed: Zulu" and the protagonist is a white guy instead of a black african Zulu warrior. I don't think it's unfair to say that my argument is kept consistent.
    225
  100. I find it funny that, in the original films, Neo was sort of the Mary-Sue character due to his unique powers as "The One". Whereas Trinity was the person with hard earned skills who has to get by with being a normal human, yet kept pace with Neo in many ways, even as he was awakening to his true potential. I mean she even yeeted an agent with the "Dodge this" move in the first film, even though Morpheus explained in no uncertain terms that every single Matrix hacker that has gone up against an agent in the past has died as a result. So ironically, by shoehorning Trinity into being "The One... Of Two", they take AWAY from the characters strengths and abilities rather than adding to them. She's a Mary-Sue now. Alongside with Mary-Sue Neo. In a perverted and cringe Mary-Sue "Maryage"
    224
  101. I always found it curious how both Candyman and Freddy Kreuger are both supernatural phantasms, who both rely on the memories and fears of people to maintain their existence. Well at least on Freddy's part it was established in Freddy vs Jason. Maybe a Candyman and Terror on Elm Street crossover would've been a more interesting crossover?
    224
  102. Holy shit.. In every film i've seen Ed Harris, he's always been a convincing hardass. It's hard to imagine the man turn into a sobbing wreck. :S
    218
  103. I'm happy that Jada Pinkett Smith's boyfriend gave Will permission to play in a other Bad Boys film again.
    214
  104. Well, Lee is lucky in regards to the Star Wars prequels. While they weren't very good on release, the disasters that are Episode 7, 8 and 9 make the Star Wars prequels seem good by comparison. 😁
    208
  105. Nothing wrong with the wife being in charge of the household. It's about as traditional as it gets. Plenty of European cultures had it that way. The wife was given legal authority over the household, while the husband had the authority of bringing in resources. This worked for millennia.
    206
  106. I was always curious about the evolution of single eyelids and double eyelids. I don't really feel concerned about the aesthetics of it since both look fine to me. What intrigues me is why some humans developed single eyelids overtime while others developed double eyelids. Certain physical features in humans aren't present merely by accident after all. They exist because there was some sort of natural benefit to it. I also think that this biological perspective makes it easier for me to appreciate the uniqueness of different physical features in different ethnic groups. To me it's like these features are trying to tell a story of where these ethnicities come from and what enviromental and biological factors shaped them into how they look today.
    203
  107. It's good to know I can count on Dank to cover the important and pivotal moments of history.

  108. I never understood the "immature = attractive" thing. Even from anime and hentai you could find female characters who were both mature and sexy at the same time. On a personal note I always found them more appealing than the immature "kawaii" female characters. They would just come across as annoying to me.
    198
  109. Nobita-san, you're talking to her in a very constructive manner. Reinforcing the point that she shouldn't feel pressured. It really goes a long way with people struggling with manic depression and ADHD.

  110. The skater kids parents didn't beat their kids enough.
    196
  111. The military autist in me feels it's necessary to point out: C-4 doesn't detonate when exposed to open flame. It's a very stable explosive compound. A high explosive detonator charge is required to cause C-4 to explode.
    196
  112.  @hewlett-b3v : Meaning they brought the shermans from elsewhere, to fight weaker tanks that weren't tigers. So that the actual tigers can be deployed in an area where the shermans are not. In strategy it's often beneficial to make the enemy think you have certain weapons in a specific location that you do not, just as it's beneficial to make the enemy think you do not have certain weapons in an area which you do.

  113. Imagine if he had put 9 million into that investment bond from the getgo. His monthly dividend would be insanely high and he could've lived as a spendthrift to this day.
    192
  114. Regarding the beauty of nature in KCD. It's not purely the visuals. It's spooky how much the forests actually SOUND like forests do as well. The in-game music isn't playing all the time. Especially not at night when you're just walking around the countryside. I remember I sometimes just stopped and listened into my headphones and thought "holy crap, the sound makes it feel like i'm actually standing outside my house right now". I haven't really encountered such a realistic soundscape in other games before.
    192
  115. Correct. Kevlar is not plate armour. But here's the thing: soldiers on modern battlefields don't use kevlar. Kevlar only reach NIJIII levels of protection. It's not enough for the kind of bullets a soldier is expected to face. You need a protection level of NIJIV at the very least. And you get that from steel or ceramic SAPI plates.

  117. "Look what England did with slavery" Yeah, the English banned slavery. Not just in England either, but fought to ban slavery worldwide and actually succeeded in a lot of non-english territories.

  118. I actually visited the Forsmark nuclear power plant in Sweden during a field trip in high school as well. 😊 We got to see the underground storage facility for nuclear waste too. It was very educational.
    186
  119. Nobita-san: As a foreigner, my impression is that aspects of Japanese culture are very conformist and collectivist. While it must certainly have served a purpose of creating social harmony, would you say that maybe it is a bit excessive? I can't help but think that the overbearing conformist values, being so prevalent might be a root cause of the problem. And it's not just affecting children in schools, but also adults in the workplace. Reputation seems very important to Japanese people. Maybe it would be prudent to ask them: do they really wish their country to be seen as a place where overbearing conformity serve to make children and adults unhappy and miserable to the point of comitting suicide? It would be interesting to hear more Japanese people talk about conformity and expressing how it affects them in their daily lives, and if it really helps them to feel happy or not.

  128. One interesting aspect that always intrigued me about the Warhammer Fantasy setting is the fiefdoms of the Vampire Counts, and the heydey if Nehekara. Now some of these realms were or ended up completely undead. But during certain periods, the rulers practiced necromsncy but also still had living, human serfs and servants. Creating a kind of society where undead were used as manual labour and troops in their armies, serving their sometimes living masters. What would a society look like where undead beings have become a normalized part of people's everyday lives?

  130. I feel this obsession with perfectly straight, perfectly white teeth is more of a typical AMERICAN phenomenon than anything. It's not really that common all over the world. I'm not from Japan, my teeth aren't perfect, but I don't worry that much about it and it hasn't had any real impact in my social interactions with others either. I think Japan should stick to the yaeba-ideal rather than conforming to the american ideals of perfect straight, perfect white because it really doesn't mean anything to oral hygiene. Teeth with a slightly yellow tint does NOT mean that they're "dirty" or diseased in anyway. It just means that they have been discoloured to to certain types of food and drink (smoking can also influence it) bit it's not "dirt", it's just a chemical reaction to the enamel of the teeth. Assuming that teeth are "dirty" because of this is like saying that a sun-bleached hair or sun-tanned skin is "dirty" which is of course ridiculous. The only reason why the perfectly straight, perfectly white has become so idealized in the U.S is in order to keep oral cosmetic dentists in business. It has no basis in health or hygiene whatsoever.

And most pregnant mothers didn't give birth to their first child in their 30's so their deaths also end up putting a thumb on the scales in terms of death before the age of 30, alongside the high infant mortality rate.

  142. Theoretically there is a possible way of "uploading" your mind to a computer, that doesn't just create a digital copy of your mind while your own mind is still stuck in your body. If you could build an artificial, self-replicating cell that mimic braincells and is designed to replace your biological braincells as they die and find some sort of treatment that prevents your body from rejecting these artificial cells, then eventually your brain would grow to become a computer, and philosophically speaking it would still be your own mind that inhabits this computer since your original biological brainfunctions never actually ceased but slowly adapted to using artificial braincells instead of biological ones. Pulling this off however would be tricky to say the least. Not only do we need much more sophisticated engineering in nanotechnology to build individual cells out of non-organic compounds that are also compatible with human braincells, you would also need much more deeper knowledge of the human immune system in order to prevent the body from rejecting the foreign cells. Also, this is only based on the little theoretical knowledge we have of how the mind works. It's hard to be absolutely sure that our real mind and self would actually adapt to these braincells or if the mind would simply retreat further and further into the remaining biological cells, until eventually you'd run out of biological cells and your mind would die, but other people might not even notice since the artifical cells might be so well designed at mimicry of regular brain cells that no one else would be able to tell the difference. So before allowing the artificial cells to "overtake" the biological functions, you'd have to devise a method of testing if the artificial cells are actually working in conjunction with other braincells rather than just simulating brainfunctions artificially. However that might be the easy part since you could basically just implant these artificial cells in the parts of the brain that governs other bodily functions than the mind and see if the surrounding neurons connected to the artificial cell are "firing" or not as they would normally.

  145. Regarding the legality of lolicon. Japan is arguably the Mecca of Lolicon. Are their problems with pedophilia or child molestation much worse than anywhere else? I think lolicon is pretty disgusting. And i think that platforms like gab, who are already in the SJW crosshairs should ban it from their platform since allowing it will just cause more problems than it's worth (frankly I think gab should get rid of all pornographic content and rebrand itself into a discussion platform). But making lolicon illegal smells more of a "moral law" than it does of desire to protect children.

Instead of Ben just walking away from Vader, couldn't they at least have written a scene where their duel gets interrupted by, perhaps a platoon if storm troopers showing up or something like that?

Sure it would've been a convenient explanation as to why Vader lived to the later films in the chronology, but at least it would've been a bit more believable than Ben just leaving Vader alive a second time.

Why should western schools spend time teaching students about the Ballad of Mulan, when Mulan as a historical figure played no part whatsoever in shaping western history? You only have so much time in primary school. Priorities have to be made, and thus it's only more sensible to focus on historical figures more close to home. Mulan should be more of a subject taught as an option in university for western students.

  170. What I've always found fascinating about historical barbers is how at during certain points in history barbers sort of crossed into surgeon territory, most likely because they were the only people in town with access to really sharp and fine blades and also having developed a steady hand so as not to accidentally knick the skin of their customers during a close shave. There's just something so bizarre but also entrepeneurial about the guy who handles your grooming for a small fee may also be the same guy who did surgical cuts on your intestines and sometimes actually succeeded in saving a patients life. There is also a similar cross profession phenomenon in history with blacksmiths and dentistry. The blacksmith was usually the only person in town with tongs and pliers, so he's the one you had to look up to pull put an infected tooth. And as some of you may know: not only are infected teeth a huge source of pain, but they can actually kill you if the bad tooth isn't removed in time.

And even if you're a violent racist, then at least your victims are humans who are capable of fighting back. A cat is small and weak compared to a human and can only really hope to run away from abuse. The cat can't defend itself whatsoever, and thus is automaticallu being far more oppressed than any human would be from racism.

  179. Modern script writers can't replicate the greats because unlike the great writers and directors, they haven't lived interesting lives. They went straight to college and then straight to the industry. When you look up the life story of directors, writers and actors who were born in the 30's, 40's and 50's it's almost never a dull read. Often it's something along the lines of growing up in a big family household, getting enlisted in the army in their teens, working on a banana boat in the amazon for a few years after that or some other massive adventure, them before or after that they graduate from college, work a bunch of different odd jobs and THEN they end up getting a professional writing or acting gig. These people had often really LIVED before they got into movie productions, and it shows in their work. But the writers today haven't lived. They've only studied a theory and they think sprinkling the theory on some fanfiction will somehow make it great.

  182. The thing is though, it is hard to imagine for a sane person the kind of destructive and compelling influence an insane mind may exert on someone afflicted. I don't think Francis was "merely" traumatized, since most traumatized people pull themselves up from it into normalcy again. His issue with Schizophrenia ran deeper and controlled him. How can one demand morals and ethics out of a person who is born to be unable to exhibit these abilities? It's like demanding a person born without legs to walk or run. That's not a defense of Francis' actions, and ultimately the world is a safer place with Francis being dead. He probably had to die, or at the very least be locked away from society forever. But at the same time, I think it's more fair to say that his condition was terrible rather than he being terrible. Had he been born without his mental deformity, things might've turned out differently. I think true evil comes more from those who are certainly born with the capacity and ability to lead good lives, but choose evil just to satiate some perverse urges or desires.

Too much of a logistical burden for the Ukrainians to field Leopard 2's compared to T-72's, along with difficulties in familiarizing tank crews with Leopards as opposed to T-72's. Better to have companies or slightly reduced performance tanks with crews that are very familiar with them, than higher performing tanks with crews unfamiliar with them.

  206. Uh, Hawaii would be the last place you'd want to build a doomsday bunker in. Let's assume your bunker is intended for surviving a nuclear exchange. First of all, Hawaii is composed of volcanic islands close to a tectonic faultline. Bunkers don't like being subjected to earthquakes nor volcanic eruptions. Second, while some bunkers may survive nuclear blasts, that still doesn't mean you'd want them to be a direct target. Hawaii has a big naval base for the pacific fleet, so in the event of a global nuclear war, hawaii is definitely getting bombed off the map. You want a nuclear doomsday bunker as far away from major cities and military installations as possible for this very reason.

Here's an idea, instead of wasting hours on end to be offended on other people's behalf in social media, and you're really so priviliged as you think you are... Why not use that privilige to... Say, start your own business? Should be easy for a PRIVILIGED person right? And then when you have your business going, how about you hire someone from one of these minorities which you consider to be so oppressed who happens to be unemployed and could really use a job? You larping as a revolutionary during protests or writing post after post in Twitter to tell the world of what an "ally" you are and how AWARE you are of the struggles of minorities helps absolutely no one. You're only doing that to feel good about yourself rather than actually helping. Try to think of how to help people in a TANGIBLE way, if you feel like you're so undeservedly priviliged. And if your reply is "well I don't have the money to start a business to be able to do that", then guess what? YOU'RE NOT PRIVILIGED AT ALL!

Germany didn't start the first world war. But they ended up being the ultimate losers of it, due to greedy and oppressive countries like France and the U.K. Their humiliating treatment of the Germans in the aftermath of WW1 is what caused the great resentment and strong patriotic sentiments that brought Adolf Hitler to power. Had they shown a little grace and respected the Prussian Empires borders, instead of ripping into it like hungy vultures, a guy like Hitler would've never risen to power in the first place.

  221. Back during the stone age, our primitive ancestors made paintings on walls. The advanced ones depicted human shapes and animal shapes. But some of the simpler ones consisted of something so simple as a handprint. Now a handprint might not carry the kind of technical finesse as the Mona Lisa, but these works of art happened in a time where even written language was yet to be invented. A humble handprint still carry with it a lot of meaning. It's a human form. Something that us descendants of today can identify as human, and even if they didn't have written language, it still carries a clear message: "We were here. We were alive. And this handprint shows it." And the fact that these simple handprints could survive for thousands of years for us to discover is fantastic in itself. Yet these "modern artists", with their access to some of the most advanced tools of visual depiction imaginable (paintbrushes, chisels, computer software, airbrushes etc.) can't even be bothered with anything more identifiable or advanced than drawing vertical lines on a piece of canvas... It boggles the mind how these so called "artists" can't see the irony in it.

Since the second world war, there has been this public precption that all german soldiers were evil bootlickers completely in agreement with Adolf Hitler, which was far from the truth. Das Boot presents a more nuanced and realistic picture, and really showcases the differences between regular german navymen and the "loyalist" party members. It shows that for good or ill, germans were human beings.

  225. What a despicable attitude some of the young interviewees have. Complaining that paying taxes for the elderlys pensions is "burdensome". Who do they think paid taxes that funded the 15+ years of public schooling that the younger generations got access to as early as when they were just out of their diapers? That's right! The elderly did! The majority of parents in Japan would NEVER have been able to afford paying for the high standards of education that their kids recieve out of their own pockets. The adults work and pay for taxes going to education for the young. And the young in turn work and pay taxes going to decent elderly welfare and pensions for the elderly. It's a mutually beneficial exchange, that both parties should embrace. Being a young twerp saying that the elderly are "burdensome" is an extremely disrespectful and ungrateful position. Even back in the stone age, humans knew to respect their elderly.

  227. It's definitely true about the clothes. One has to consider the gender roles in medieval times. A woman was raised by her family to be a good wife. And part of being a good wife, entailed being both a cook and accomplished seamstress. It was a norm rather than exception for a woman to be sewing clothes. Even among noblewomen (in fact ESPECIALLY among nobles). Now with such a market saturated with accomplished seamstresses, custom made clothes from a tradesman (a tailor) paid for with good money would've been exceptional to say the least. So blandly coloured, badly treated and broken down clothing among nobles and clergy should not be seen at all. A married man walking around like that in public would bring shame to his wife. And an unmarried man would bring shame to his mother. Note: I'm not idealizing this division of labour in the middle ages and with my modern values I don't think women should be expected to swe clothes for their families. But back then, this was the norm.

  233. I mean, it's true to a point that men at arms were intended to "pad the numbers". There wouldn't be enough knights to fill entire armies with most of the time, so medieval armies would need a backbone of large infantry formations. But it's rather silly to assume that they got no training. Any ambitious commander worth his salt would make sure that his peasants got as much training as possible. And let's not forget that archers were drafted from the peasantry, after basically being encouraged and indoctrinated to train archery every day since they were children. Years of training archery combined with farm work will inevitably create some pretty buffed and competent men for battle. Peasants also had some rather nice incentive to perform well in battle, since not only did warfare entail the promise of looting, it was also one of the only ways to improve your station in society since peasants who stuck out well in battle could get battle promotions and some might even get knighted if they showed that they had the right stuff for it.

  240. Shakespeare had a fair bit of raunchy themes and jokes in a very christian England too. We may consider stage plays to be a form of "high class culture" today, but in Shakespeare's time and before it, stage plays were like the television shows of their time. Quality and seriousness in themes varied greatly. Some plays were basically indistinguishable from sitcoms of today.

  242. I have to be honest, in some ways I like the Lorica Segmentata more than many sets of medieval armour. From a structural integrity sense, I like how the leather straps holding the segments together on the segmentata are riveted to the INSIDE of the armour. But with many kinds of medieval armour, you have a lot of leather straps and cord being tied to the outside. Yes, I know, "unlikely to get hit" and all that, but in my engineering obsessed eyes it just looks like an exposed weakness. An unlucky hit might cut a cord or a strap and suddenly you may find yourself in a situation where pieces of your armour begins to come loose in the heat of battle. And this prospect is pretty terrifying.

  245. The first two to three Alien films was really female empowerment done right. Not once do you think of Ripley as a woman trying to be a man. She's vulnerable and scared and quite clearly aware of her limitations, but she perseveres against the cosmic horrors through force of will and ingenuity. In the second alien film, she became the mama bear rage personified instead of trying to act like a male action hero, and it worked perfectly. If I am blessed with a daughter, I'll have her watch these films for inspiration.

The timing was pretty crap too since Covid reared it's ugly face just six months after we first met. We're both holding on though and everything feels good. We're looking to move in together as soon as possible, but travel restrictions prevents it for the time being.

  264. This reminds me of all that politically charged interpretation of the Spartans and how older mentors would habitually do the dirty deed with their proteges, which makes little sense. First of all, Spartan citizens were members of the only respectable families. Spartans also took a dim view of men who adopted a passive role in the bedsheets. Therefore it makes no sense to assume that Spartans had a norm of sodomizing young, male members of respectable families since it's basically the same as emasculating them in front of everyone before they had even reached adulthood. In reality there's hardly any historical sources to corroborate this intepretation of the relationships between mentors and proteges in ancient sparta. It's basically just a case of that old leftwing trope of reading a bunch of homoeroticisim into strong male friendships amd camraderie (like how people claim that Frodo had a romantic relationship Sam in LotR, even though Tolkien was a devout catholic)

One thing I like to keep in mind is that V in the graphic novel is more morally ambigous of a character, while in the movie he's portrayed as being a charming man in pursuit of righteous revenge. I like the movie, but I think the novel did a better job at posing implicit questions about V's morality and the morality of his actions. When V is done right, people would argue over whether he's a radical activist with a righteous cause or a lunatic terrorist.

But a single and childless woman without a husband... Yeah she's most likely looking to settle down. And at age 40 her biological clock isn't just ringing, it's screaming. So unless you are prepared to marry and settle down, then you shouldn't waste her or your own time and just call it quits early.

  291. As a Swede, we still feel a sense of national shame over the fact that the politicians at the time allowed germans to ship troops and weapons to Norway. Granted, it was a hard decision to make too since the "official neutrality" wasn't really a point of principle but rather to avoid Germany setting it's sights on Sweden too (which was ill equipped to mount a proper defense against the wehrmacht). So a lot of lives were probably saved, but it leaves an extremely bitter aftertaste. One can only hope that the unofficial support extended to Finland during the winter war, the acceptance of large numbers of war refugees and persecuted jews and participation in rebuilding efforts of what had been destroyed in many countries across Europe (since Sweden still had a lot of intact key industries after the war) can make up for it a little bit.

  308. What she neglects to mention is that the meat industry as a whole is also ensuring the survival of many species of cows, pigs and chickens. Cows are not the same as their strong auroch ancestors from pre-historic times. They are not physically equipped to fend for themselves in the wild anymore. So if you ban the meat industry, then who takes responsibility for all the cows? Are you just going to "set them free" and watch them be devoured en masse by wild predators until they go extinct? Or are you going to continue breeding them in capitivity as a form of preservation where there are no financial profits to be made anymore. Also even if you're not slaughtering the cows, they still need to eat. So any conservation efforts will still take up the same space of farmland as before. Only no food for humans is being produced out of it, making the whole operation a net financial burden on society.

  315. The part about continually waging war on external enemies to prevent your own army from disuniting. Isn't that the lesson that George Orwell tried to teach in 1984? One part of the book describes how the Big Brother state was possibly in collusion with the enemy states in the effort of perpetuating an eternal war which served the purpose of keeping all of the populations "united" (in a very brutal and oppressive way) against their "enemies". It was also the mechanism behind Ozymandias plan in Alan Moore's and Dave Gibbons graphic novel Watchmen. He staged a completely bogus alien invasion of Earth to prevent World War 3 from erupting between Nato and the USSR by leading both sides to believe that they were both faced with a common, extra-terrestial enemy. Looking back at human history in the past, the strongest uniting factor between different people's and countries seems to be the belief in having a common external enemy.

But I guess the truth about migrant crime is so apparent that it overshadows the century old rivalries between the french amd the british peoples.

  319. Sadly you can't just blame her parents. The entire education system is working as a propaganda center for children. If you think american public schools are bad with their Democrat bias, then Swedish public schools are an entirely different level. And what's worse is that public schools are your only choice in Sweden for the most part. Private enterprise can start up a school, but they are enslaved to the state mandated school curriculum from which there is no escape. I can even draw from my own years in primary and secondary school. During history and humanities classes, we had entire month long periods dedicated to the holocaust. Yet the only part of our education where communism and socialism was brought up, was basically in the modern political science classes whwre socialism and communism is only mentioned in terms as how the modern social democrats and the left wing party describe themselves as today. Not one mention of the holodomor. Not one single mention of the atrocities that happened behind the iron curtain. Not a single mention of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Not a single mention of the murders and destruction of historical artifacts in China during Mao's "Great Leap Forward". Of course the Holocaust is an event worthy of mentioning. But when so much time is given over to teaching about the holocaust, yet no time at all is dedicated to teaching about the significantly larger amounts of murders committed by the Soviet Union, Maoist China and Pol Pot's Cambodia. The political bias must be pretty obvious for anyone outside of this system to see. And keep in mind that this has been going on in ALL Swedish schools since the early 1900's. I'm sure you'll understand then why it's difficult for a lot of Swedes to break out of the socialist hive mind mentality and adopting a more nuanced perspective of the left and right wings of the political spectrum. Everyone's basically been subjected to political indoctrination in this country from their very first day in school. Those of us who did break free had to possess very inquisitive minds and critical thinking. Qualities that most normies, regardless of where they're from tend to lack.

  322.  @andrewwilson5184  If he stole a painting or sculpture then maybe. I can't say I give two shits about the lavish jewelry of the monarchy, paid for by enslaved peasants and their toil though. I don't have any cultural or historical sentiment to any "crown jewels". As far as i'm concerned, these objects only represent the vile oppression that monarchs subjected my ancestors to. So if I master thief managed to steal them in an epic heist, I'd just make a toast to his daring feat and hope he enjoys his money.

  323. The scientific reasoning is good. But some expressions you use aren't very scientific. When you say that the different genders have different "reasons" and "purpose" and "roles" it will ultimately make your argument scientifically invalid. Nature doesn't work on the principles of "reason" or "purpose". Reason and purpose are artificial concepts that humans have invented in order to categorize and relate to their surroundings. Nature works on the principles of evolution, and cause and effect. We are a sexually dimorphic species, yes. But if you would've said that the sexes exhibit different physical characteristics, which evolutionary speaking makes them better suited or better adapted for different tasks then your choice of words would've been fine. But when you use words like "purpose" and "reason", you are implying design, which is frowned upon in the discourse of natural science, since one of the most basic tenets and assumptions about the universe, evolution etc. (based on the available evidence) is that it is not "designed" but evolved through a long chain of cause and effect. We don't have a "reason" for being here, and we don't have a specific "purpose" of being here, or doing what we do, other than the ones we invent for ourselves. We're here as a consequence, of a long chain of chemical reactions and cause and effect, where we're the end product of a long lineage of survivor species that just happened to live, while other species died out. 99% of all species that ever lived on planet earth are extinct today. The ones still alive comprise a mere percent of all life that ever lived on earth. So talking about "purpose" and "reason" for well... Any of us (man, ape or fish or whatever) is somewhat inappropriate... Linquistically speaking, which I know that you have a professional interest in, which is one of the reasons why i'm being this nitpicky. :) So to summarize: your claims are clearly based on scientific facts, but some of your choice of words invalidates them since natural science does not support ideas of "reason" and "purpose" (only religion does that, usually), only ideas of evolution and cause and effect.

  324. As my genius, Polish mathematics professor told me about A.I: "The difficulty with developing artificial intelligence is first to define what intelligence itself is." And I'm inclined to agree with him. Defining intelligence as a contained property of it's own is not an easy task, and it branches out into many different academic disciplines.

  325. Regarding the intelligence of skeletons, I'd say it depends on the nature of their reanimation. In some settings it's just magical energy that sets them in motion. Like clockwork machine. These skeletons would not be very intelligent. But in other settings, reanimation happens as a result of spirit binding (the dead skeletons spirit is summoned from beyond the grave and effectively possess it's old bones to bring them into motion and action) in which case the skeleton could retain some intelligence from it's past life.

The northern parts of North America where they landed is pretty much identical in climate, plantlife and fauna to Scandinavia. Norsemen were on the lookout for places with arrable farmlands, not endless pine and spruce forests where you can't grow crops, which they already had plenty of at home.

  335. To say that the southerners had no labour costs doesn't really add up with fiscal facts. You can actually find detailed information of what the price of a slave was, and the price for their upkeep. A single slave was a pretty significant cost compared to hiring a farmhand. It was a kind of investment that took many years to pay itself off. Naturally, the major cotton farmers had many slaves who had already paid themselves off. But there was still the issue of clothing and feeding the slaves, as well as making sure they didn't die due to diseases and injuries, along with making sure that the slaves didn't escape.

  337. "Turns out being electrocuted, is bad for your heart" Yup. I work with electrical currents on a daily basis. The rules are basically this: anything below 48 volts is fine. You can touch that with your fingers and you'll barely notice it. But anything above 48 volts, power has to be disconnected and under no circumstances should you ever work with any live wires above that number. As it turns out, even a mild electric shock of say 100 volts, might not kill you outright. In fact you might even be able to go about your day and get home from work, only to keel over at your front door, dead from a heart attack. You can't really predict it. Tazers operate in the million volt ranges, so there is definitely an elevated risk of death if you get tazed. I still think tazers are prefarable to simply shooting suspects with a firearm though. But everyone, cops included, should be taught that electrocution of that kind does carry a significant risk with it.

  342. After reading comments from ex-employees it's pretty evident that management is the problem, and not the employees. Stephen, you need to stop being a micromanaging perfectionist and trust your employees more. The work hours become insane because you demand too many edits, changes or end up scrapping work that people have already invested a lot of time in to complete already. And remember: as employees they do not get paid as much as you. They do not share a stake in your company. So expecting them to work insane work hours while you're the one raking in all the profits is a bit much.

  343. Kermeet Frug: exactly. Also, there's a tactical advantage for the wearer. He knows where the weakpoints in his armour are, so he knows which attacks he needs to protect himself from and which attacks and feints he can pretty much ignore and just power through. A person wearing no armour at all doesn't have that advantage. That person has to be on his guard against EVERY attack, because even small cuts and blows could be deadly (even if they don't kill him outright, the pain, shock and blood loss will most likely affect the victims balance and fighting stance, which will make it even easier for his opponent to finish him off) And if you have to be on your guard for every kind of attack, because any impact could lead to your death, it also means you're more susceptible to feints, which could also lead to your death since the purpose of a feint is to lure your opponent off balance and deliver a follow up killing blow.

  344. Anakin was compassionate. That was his problem. Granted, the Jedi philosophy is a bit inconsistent. But if you scrape the surface, it becomes pretty clear: Jedi has to be very unemotional in order to function. That includes forsaking feelings of compassion. Of course it's very inconsistent with how many Jedi protagonists behave. And I for one think Star Wars would've been much more interesting if the Jedi religion emphasized the logical behaviours required to truly become a Jedi master (basically a selfless, unemotional and nearly lobotomized person). It's pretty clear though that Anakin turned to the dark side because he couldn't control his compassion towards the people in his life that got hurt or killed.

  345. I really like the development between Henry and Hans in the first game. They begin as squabbling young men, pitted against eachother due to their differences in social class and all that. But as they spend more time together they go from master and servant to being really good buddies getting into all sorts of trouble together. I especially like how Hans goes from being an obnoxious fop to being revealed as a more sympathetic and generous guy too. It's just a good feat of writing and character development.

"Pretty boys" are a dime a dozen in Hollywood. But sometimes you just get mesmerized by someones very defined features. Like Javiers, but also actors like Lee Van Cleef and Billy Drago. For some reason they also make very good villains.

He'd still be the envy of every Chav in the country with 50K of pocket change every month and not needing to work.

  356. A friend of mine had the custody of her children contested and the custody was eventually handed over to the father. She had no criminal history whatsoever, but the father had. Yet the courts considered the father to be the better parent. She had visitation rights, but the father constantly stalled and refused to cooperate so she barely got to see her children at all, and the courts did nothing to help her. Eventually, the father stabbed her to death and almost stabbed the present social worker to death too, and is now serving time in jail. This is the man with a prior history of both assault, robbery and dealing drugs, which the courts considered the "better parent" of the two. This is what courts to to children and their parents in the world.

  370. I've been through violence. Potentially lethal violence, since a blade was involved. I can honestly say though: I don't feel good about it. It happened during a mugging attempt. Two immigrants cornered me in the old town streets while I was on my way home from the pub. The demanded I hand over my phone and wallet to them. I was carrying a knife at the time, and when I refused to hand my valuables over and they started shoving and hitting me, while one of them pullee out a knife of his own. I pulled mine and cut him across his face. He screamed and blood was pouring down his face. His accomplice lost his nerve at the sight of it and they both ran away from me. Afterwards I noticed that the one who pulled a knife had managed to cut my arm. With all this in mind: i'm happy to walk away from the encounter alive and only having a large scar on my arm to show for it. I'm happy that I didn't have to see the inside of a jailcell because of it, since carrying a knife in public is illegal. I just never reported the incident to the police, and it seems like the immigrant I cut didn't either. I'm happy that I didn't have to lose my wallet and my phone to these robbers. But... I do not feel good about the experience. I don't think I'll ever forget the sound of that guy screaming in pain and fear. I wish I could erase it from memory altogether, but I can't. I didn't have any desire to hurt anyone. I just wanted to get home from the pub that night.

The abortion issue is a massive self own by the left in the U.S. When leftists argued Hillary's talking points about safe, legal and rare and treating it as an occasinal necessary evil rather than something desirable. The right were mostly willing to go along with it, except for the minority rightwing groups with more extreme views. But then the left had to go and use abortions as a means to provoke the rightwing, and behaving absolutely disgusting about it. This sealed the fate of the legality of abortion in red states.

  376.  @ignacejespers8201 : I would argue that capturing and securing the Caucasus oil fields was not only NOT pointless, but absolutely necessary for the german war effort to continue the war. So saying that all of Operation Barbarossa was meaningless isn't entirely true. That said, too much emphasis was placed by Hitler and the german high command on capturing strategically irrelevant cities like Stalingrad. All that manpower and resources would've been better used in capturing the oil fields and get them running to serve the german war effort rather than the soviet war effort.

  385. I think it's important to keep in perspective that "sins of our fathers" is not a real argument and always maintain the distinction between people and their governments. The reason for the japanese government not to acknowledge the atrocities committed by earlier governments are quite nebulous. But the people of Japan does not represent their government, neither in present day or in the past. The governments are supposed to be the representatives. But considering how the wartime government of Japan wasn't really elected, it would be wrong for a Korean to confront and blame your average japanese citizen for these things. It's not like they, nor even their ancestors had any say in what their government did or what their military did. In fact, the way that Japan was ruled in the past doesn't differ that much from how North Korea is ruled today: governed my an unelected and very immoral elite that didn't care much for peoples lives at all.

That's why these people think they can get away with these crimes. Because the local men don't respond violently when they misbehave.

People's first instinct is to assume that snowy, icy and freezing temperatures are the worst, but the good thing about freezing temperatures is that there's usually very little humidity, and anyone who's done a lot of hiking during different seasons knows that dampness combined with wind really saps your body heat extremely quick. I can imagine it must have been very hard to stay dry in medieval times in the outdoors without some sort if waterproofing.

They spend most of their time doing research and lectures, even off the office hours. They enjoy things like "tenure" where they can't be fired from their jobs, regardless of their performance. They basically never have to worry about losing their employment or income, and in turn never worry about paying bills and rent. And 90 percent of the people they socialize with are other academics as sheltered and pampered as they are. A lot of the time they've never worked a "real job" in their life either, but have gone straight from graduating college into become a university employee.

For Smeagol the ring's destruction would've meant certain death since he'd age 400 years in a matter of days.

  415. Doctrine differs from propaganda though. The doctrine was to try and assault the mg-42 during that 7 second window when they changed the barrel. When the gun was operational, there was pretty much only one thing to do: duck and cover. Germans however made it difficult to assault an mg-42 even during the barrel change. The allies had this wierd idea that "support weapons" meant that machine guns were supposed to be "supporting" the regular riflemen. The Germans did the exact opposite: the riflemen were trained to protect and support the machine gunner (by carrying extra ammo belts, as well as opening fire against enemies trying to assault the machine gunners during a barrel change) This also meant that the Germans thought of the machine gun as an integral part of their infantry squads, rather than an optional part like the allied forces did.

  431. In my own humble opinion, I find this indicative of a weakness within the academic system. It's very appealing for academics to "stand out" and "make a name" for themselves. And this is very hard to do if all you do is repeat findings that your predecessors have discovered before you. Therefore, a few academics will tread a dark path of trying to be controversial for the sake of controversy, in order to get "noticed". Academic history is rife with these people. And sadly, not all of them ended up being discredited for it.

But I can't say it had anything to do with "motherly affections" or anything like that. Nor that I did it out of having some sort of MILF-fetish. In my case it was more seeing the women my age and how annoying, neurotic, insecure and self-absorbed they all were. So I just couldn't find anyone interesting or who I could connect with well through conversation. I had a much better connection with older women I met online.

  442.  @GeorgeSoroshasenteredthechat  That's not necessarily true. For some people, having kids and a family is the very thing that saves them from suicide. Some people, when they somehow lose the reason to live for themselves, find renewed purpose in living for someone else, like their kids and their spouse. And the more they get to enjoy the good things about family life, sometimes it helps them come out of their depression. Not saying it's like that for everyone, but on the same token it does happen, so one shouldn't assume that having a family woulf automatically make things worse.

  455. When I read about the winter war, what I learned was that the Finns did indeed demolish the russians, based on casualty rates. The problem is that the Russians would always have more to send, despite their losses. And once the Russians finally retreated, the Finns were at their wits end basically, having sustained too many losses of their own. Had Russia continued it's efforts for another 6 months or so, the Finns would most likely have been forced to surrender. So the timing for the Russian retreat couldn't have been better.

  456. I have to disagree with Ted on the point of technology making life less fulfilling. At least on a personal level. In my case I'd argue that technology has helped me undertake many fulfilling projects because with the internet I could easily find various tutorials and guides in various different fields of arts and crafts. I have then proceeded to use the knowledge gained from them to make a lot of things by myself which all felt very fulfilling when completed. Suppose I had not have any access to the internet instead. I'd still do some arts and crafts, but every project would be intensly discouraging due to a lot of failed results and having to go in completely blind and ignorant. So in my opinion, it's not technology that makes life less fulfilling. It's how you use it. Just the other day I marinated and cooked some beef steaks to absolute perfection, for example. I could do this because the internet allowed me to study the intricacies of frying time (when you cook steaks, mere seconds can mean the difference between a medium steak and a well done steak). I could have attempted it on my own without any guidance of course. But that would've involved quite a few ruined steaks, which would've been both expensive and discouraging. Also using this guidance doesn't mean I follow it to the letter. The marinade for example is my own mix by now. I just took inspiration from one in a recipe but then added spices and alcoholic beverages of my own choosing. If more people used technology this way, instead of just being passive, scrolling consumers of social media, I think their quality of life would improve rather than diminish

  463.  @thesickrobot6924  I'd say it's the opposite. The Soviet armed forces went through so many political purges of it's upper echelons, because paranoid soviet dictators always feared that one of their generals might attempt a coup. The military of the Russian federation is definitely more modernized in comparison. A big part of the reason why the soviets lost the winter war was because Stalin had conducted some massive purges of officers that were deemed to be a threat to his authority just prior to the start of the winter war. So the soviet troops entering Finland did so with sub par left overs and bootlickers in terms of officers.

But if you use radio comms with the correct procedures and doctrine, it will be hard for outsiders listening in to make good use of the intel.

  479. The VP-70M is a strange contraption... On the one hand machine pistols are a less than ideal invention on their own since recoil makes them so hard to control and remain accurate in fully automatic fire (or even a 3-round burst mode), but you can still sort of see the point of them. Basically you want a pistol that can also function as a semi-auto pistol but has the option of spitting out a lot of lead in a short amount of time, in a small, pistol sized package. Whereas a sub machine gun like the MP5, also use pistol caliber ammo, but is more custom made for full auto control and accuracy. In turn making the weapon bigger and more bulky. The VP-70M on the other hand doesn't do either... It needs the attachement to get the added functionality of 3-round burst, but also end up making the pistol more bulky, unlike something like a Glock 18c or Beretta M93r. So it kind of circumvents the point of using something pistol sized when you end up turning it into some kind of carbine anyway. Can't say I've felt the trigger pull, but let's just say that double action is not my cup of tea.

The epitome of a "feelgood" movie. And it manages to do it while using the Holocaust as a backdrop. It's quite genius to be able to do something like that with such a depressing backdrop. Humour is one of mankinds finer coping mechanisms in the face of atrocities and horrible events. It's rebellious and defiant in the face of the worst adversity imaginable. It's an act that says "you may kill me but you won't take away my spirit". So why on earth would you seek to destroy that?

You don't see the massive hypocrisy there? Personally, I don't really give a crap if they disclose who they're funded by or not. That's a job for investigative journalists to find out. I don't care because unlike most feeble minded people who just believe anything at face value, I was taught to question what I read or was told and to compare different sources to figure out a close approximation to the truth. You know, basic source critique. It used to be a thing when I grew up. But apparently the government thinks we must be "protected" from potentially untruthful information. 🙄

  491. Simon William. They don't "neglect" it, they just don't know about it. I don't think you understand how tightly Japanese authorities keep a lid on events like the Nanjing massacre. Aside from the nukings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the japanese education system and media pretty much gloss over the whole of WWII. It's hard to become curious about something if you don't even know it exists or has happened. The language barrier also plays a part. It's not like the average Japanese person can just stumble across it on google, like a European citizen can do with the holocaust.

  512. Well, if an alien civilization is still a planetbound civilization, their warriors would be similar to ours. Infantry, cavalary/mechanized, airforce (if their technological levels have progressed enough to make aircraft) and marine/naval (if their technological levels permits seafaring vessels). It's not very likely that all alien cultures are as technologically sophisticated as humans. In fact several might even be less technologically sophisticated. However, if the alien civilization is a spacefaring, interstellar civilization. Their warriors are likely to be more like scientists and engineers. If they are advanced enough to visit other solar systems, then their methods of warfare would either be to employ precision bombardment from orbit, employing engineered bacterial or biological warfare or they would be "robot jockeys" directing and sending robotic infantry, airforce and naval drones to attack their enemies with precision. The technological sophistication required to achieve interstellar travel will undoubtedly already have guaranteed that such a species have mastered fields of biological warfare and robotics. And even now in the human race we're seeing the technological progression towarda automated and remote controlled weapon systems like drones and robots (machine guns mounted on tracked, remote controlled platforms using mounted cameras to make threat assesments and aiming, small, remote controlled bomber and fighter aircraft etc.) Even fighter jets "piloted" by a physical human aren't actually "piloted" by humans anymore. The speeds and rapid changes in winds would make it impossible for a normal human to pilot a modern fighter jet without crashing. Almost all modern fighter jets and attack helicopters employ "fly by wire" systems where a computer handles 90 percent of the actual piloting, while the human pilot basically only directs the aircraft to where it's supposed to go (in most aircraft this could easily be handled remotely as well). The same goes for weapons systems. "Dog fights" are a thing of the past. Nowadays, fighter pilots don't even physically see the enemy they're engaging, but rather blips on a radar to send long range, self-guided air-to-air missiles at. To make an infantry analogy, modern fighter jets are more like "sniper aircraft" rather than regular infantry as their engagement distance have only increased over the last 50 years. It stands to to reason that an alien civilization capable of interstellar travel would've long since surpassed our current levels and have their navy vessels, fighter aircraft, artillery and even infantry almost entirely robotic and automated, only requiring engineers and remote operators to function.

  513.  @bosewicht2389  That's a likely assessment. Russia certainly do have guided munitions of their own making. And they do work. But the question is: in what numbers?

  519.  @jtsy7499 : That's not really the case at all. It's part of what an earlier poster already said: dogs were useful for hunting. They sniff out game animals, chase game animals to wear them down and then encircle and corner the game animal for a human hunter to get an easy shot or to move in for a kill. Dogs also helped alert human populations to danger in the night on account of their keen sense of smell. So even the early humans realized the utility of keeping dogs around. Pigs also had their utility since pigs were useful as waste disposal. You fed your pigs the refuse from your kitchen, and in medieval times, you could even feed your pigs the sewage from your toilet/outhouse. Pigs have one of the most hardy digestive systems in nature, so they can survive on eating things that would make other animals sick. In return you got pork when you slaughtered your pigs. So in essence you got food from your waste, which was extremely useful to people back then. However, due to the diet that people associated with pigs, they were also seen as very "unclean" and therefore not fit for pets. Some cultures even took this view to an extreme, like the way muslims even refusing to eat pork. "Cuteness" had little to do with it.

  522.  @Schnittertm1  The problem is that quick time events are pretty much universally hated in video gaming and for good reason. And as to your other suggestions: the gameplay will just bottle down to doing the same key-combo over and over again. Probably not as thrilling as riding in a tank and loading the main gun in real life. So if they want to make a game to simulate real tank warfare, it would probably be better to simply stick to the commander acting as a "spotter", the gunner does the shooting with impaired vision and the driver does the driving but with impaired vision. So both driver and gunner have to communicate back and forth with the tank commander to get the most performance out of their tank.

  523.  @PaolaRL  Thank you for acknowledging it. Your profile hints that you're a woman. And it must be tempting to play along with the feminist rhetoric to acquire privilige wherever possible. It takes strength of character to recognize unjust privilige based on sex, even when dismissing it would be appealing to ones rational self interest. And I respect that a lot.

  524. I think people have always been racist to a certain degree. But for the most part, it never extended beyond bias and predudice. The modern narrative is that any racist thought will automatically lead to racial persecutions and genocides, which just isn't supported by history.

  525. I suppose this is also a reason why viking raiders really put the fear into the rest of Europe. Vikings rarely fought battles. They rarely committed armies to fighting battles. Instead they were expert raiders. They got in. Raided and then got out fast enough that no contemporary military force could muster an army fast enough to fight them in an open battle. Viking raiders therefore could strike at all the things necessary to keep and supply an army, without actually losing men to fighting actual armies.

  527.  @kukuandkookie  I disagree. I don't think anyone has any right to interfere with the creative process of another outside of choosing to pay or not to pay for admission to it. If Disney or any other company or artist want to make a film inspired by Mulan, then whatever choices in casting, writing or cinematography they make is their prerogative. Now if China wants a more "accurate portrayal" of the story, then they should make one themselves rather than trying to tell someone else how they should make their project. I really hate how entitled people act in the way that they do things like starting outrage mobs online to basically order film companies, video game developers, comic book artists etc. how their stories should be written or which actors to cast or whatever. People in general should focus more on realizing their own visions rather than try to mess with the visions of others.

  531. What many people obssessing with correctness of technique fail to understand is that these techniques, stances and positions were originally developed by a single "master". They were custom made to HIS body and anatomy. That doesn't mean that the techniques and stances are optimal for any user. We have different arm lengths. Differently developed musculature. Differently shaped femurs and leg bones in general. From a fighters perspective, the "correct" posture, technique and positioning is determined through the most effective and optimal form for a particular bodytype. When it feels comfortable, natural AND applies the maximum amount of force and speed to your cuts and thrusts, THAT'S when you've got a PROPER technique. Regardless of what the "master" says.

  533. I think he use the term "Lorica Segmentata" with incorrect pronounciation because he's refering to a certain type of armour of Roman origin. I'm not sure if there is an official english name for the armour in question. Maybe you could get away with just saying "segmented armour", but in english it sounds too general so people may have more trouble understanding that you're refering to Roman armour. Kind of in the same way that we use "Katana" for a specific kind of Japanese sword. Even though the word just seems to denote the word "Sword" in Japanese.

  534. I'm a white man. And I agree. I'd much rather see more television features and documentaries about ancient African cultures and historical figures, than having black Africans being shoehorned into my history and culture in this manner. History happened everywhere after all. But communications were poor in ancient times, and not much survives into our times. So make an effort to expose more of history in all parts of the world, I say.

  535. I was forced to sit through Schindlers List in class back in the day. There was never any talk about making it more "palatable" back then. What bugged me was the fact that history class was so singularly devoted to the holocaust, while the rest of world history was glossed over. I'm not a holocaust denier, but you kind of get where they're coming from when they're talking about the indoctrination of school children sometimes, because there's a disproportionate amount of focus on the holocaust. Yet the holodomor was never even mentioned.

  536. Anyone else love the scenes in the tv-series "Black Sails" where the pirates (primarily using repurposed merchant vessels) try to take on the Spanish Urca De Lima (a proper man o' war)? I'm particularly fond of that scene because it really shows off the differences in combat capabilities between repurposed merchant ships and a purposebuilt navy ship. That broadside barrage from the Urca is downright scary!

You're not putting black actors in it to "help a brother out". You're only doing it to piss over the territory of a race that's different from yours. With your reasoning there would be no problem casting a white actor as Black Panther either...

And yes, you can tell the origins of people based on skeletal measurements. Forensic scientists do it every day. But I guess you didn't know that. Because all you've done is read som pop-culture "historical" article on Buzzfeed where some fringe crackpot undergraduate from Oxford claims that Africans co-existed with the Norse in Scandinavia.

  548. The costumes of this film are actually quite brilliant. It's a french production, so the costume designers would be people deep into the high fashion world. So when you see an outlandish costume in the film, it's not just a costume but probably a kind of avant garde cotoure that would be right at home in some of the Parisian catwalks. I'd say it adds a certain cultural depth to the film that you may not have found in a purely american production. Also if you're a sci-fi buff, it's always a treat to watch french productions and read comic books of the genre. The priorities are considerations in making them are quite different, colourful and refreshing compared to works from the anglosphere. Not necessairly "better" all the time, but just "different". It's kind of like the difference between western anglosphere science fiction and Japanese Anime.

  549. Bad idea for a sniper to climb up and hide in a tree. When you take a shot, you need to move and switch position as stealthily as possible. Kind of hard to do if you have to climb down from a tree to move. So the sniper in the dade tree was asking for it.

That said, I don't believe for a second that Hasan Piker would ever be satisfied no matter how many experts are brought in. Since he's a habitual goalpost shifter.

  555.  @herbertgearing1702  Oh yes, and as far as "inclusiveness" goes... We're talking about a point in time where people basically murdered eachother for pretty basic resources. Warfare in modern times can't really compare. We wage wars for more ambiguous and abstract concepts like geopolitics, idealism and all that crap. But during the Viking age it was more of "Either I go to this village, kill a bunch if people and take their stuff so me and my family can have enough food for the winter, or me and my family starve until the next spring harvest". When you're at that point making choices like that, modern values like "inclusivity" are so far down the bottom of your list so it's basically poking a hole on the other side of the earth. But idiotic modern television producers will try and have me believe that the Norse in that period actually gave a crap about ideology like that 🤣

  559.  @masterchef1174  "one question"? You completely disregarded THE MAIN QUESTION that was my entire point you imbecille! If Japan doesn't have any more problems with pedophilia than any other western country, then clearly, legislation against lolicon does NOTHING to prevent pedophilia or child molestation, since Japan has no such legislation to begin with and is also the main producer of lolicon art and has a more saturated domestic market of it than any other country in the world. If society says (through law) that child molestation is completely ok, then of course they will molest children. The thing is, refraining from passing legislation that makes lolicon illegal is not the same as saying "it is now ok to molest children". Here's the thing with pedophiles: they all agree that children are perfectly valid to have sex with. They don't see the problem with considering a child sexually desirable, nor do they see why a child can't consent to sex morally or legally. They have a warped view of children in the sense that they apply a sexuality to children, which the children do not have, as well as applying mental faculties to children which the children do not have (like the capacity to give informed consent to sexual relations). And since pedophilia is pathological, you can't get a pedo to understand why these ideas are completely wrong and unrealistic, because the ideas themselves are interconnected with the way their minds work. If you were to try and remove these ideas from a pedophiles mind, then their perception of reality would be turned upside down and they wouldn't be able to make sense of anything. So, practically speaking, it doesn't matter how much you try to "teach" pedophiles that being sexually aroused by children is wrong, or dysfunctional. You can't "deprogram" them from pedophilia. Not through education, not through punishment and not through legislation. You treat pedophiles as if they are rational people in the sense that you think you can "teach" them that pedophilia is wrong by inventing legislation against lolicon (because you personally believe that lolicon is somehow similar to actual child molestation). You think pedophiles will be able to make some sort of "connection" between your harsh views and legislation against lolicon, and the fact that it is dysfunctional and sick to pursue sexual relations with children. This shows that you are ignorant of the pathological nature in pedophilia. Your way of reasoning is kind of like the same as saying that you can "teach" people afflicted with anorexia not to starve themselves by having "society" tell them that "food is good for you" and "unless you eat, you will die", or even "you are not fat, stop starving yourself." The pathological nature of anorexia as a mental condiction and eating disorder completely prevents the ones afflicted by it to see reason. When they look in a mirror, they don't see a skeletally thin person. They see a fat, obese person. What you need to get through your skull is that pedophiles don't desire children because they're "evil" or that they desire to cause other people harm and pain. They're not the way they are to be "edgy" or to "rebel against society" or "cultural norms" or any crap like that. They are not misbehaving teenagers. They are adult people, who experience a genuine attraction towards children, and they GENUINELY can't understand why that is bad or wrong. They don't see their affection as "evil" or intended to cause children harm or pain. In their minds, they're just expressing "love" towards the children. That's how far away from reality their minds are. And no amount of legislation, harsh punishment or violence will bring their minds back to a normal perception of reality. So when dealing with actual pedophiles, no amount of opposition or legislation against lolicon will ever change or affect the severity or frequency of child molestation in any society whatsoever. Pathologies do simply not work that way. Regarding your analogy to "rape porn". Some of the societies were problems with rape is the most severe (like certain african countries and the middle east), there is hardly any porn industry to speak of (if at all, since many muslim countries have an outright legal ban on pornography). Much less a "rape porn" industry. Yet their rape stats are significantly higher than any rape stats you'll find in western, industralized nations. Porn does not create rapists, anymore than violent videogames create school shootings. These have all been scientifically proven as myths based on ignorance, and you're doing society and the victims of such crimes a disservice for propagating them.

  560. I'll admit that I read a fair degree about some of the more exotic serial killers throughout history. But it's never been about fascination with human suffering or death, but rather about curiosity about the mind that drives these serial killers to do what they do. They're so far removed from a normal, functioning human mind that it almost feels like discovering an alien or something. So I think one can be curious about such topics, without being fascinated with the terrible and atrocious deeds that have been done. It's pretty natural for any sane human to want to understand that which is hard to understand.

Whatever petty disagreements the east and the west have over various issues, surely it couldn't have hurt to show up and celebrate the defeat of Hitler alongside the Russians? I mean, I think we can all agree that the Nazis posed a dire threat to both the east and the west?

  571. Did the germans infantry in Stalingrad have any kind of smoke grenades or flares and such? I'm thinking about the difficulties of coordinating tanks and infantry that hasn't trained with tanks. In a city, there will be buldings that infantry can capture and buildings that are far too reinforced with enemy occupants. So you'd want a way to mark those buildings so the tanks can open fire at them from a distance if possible. Deploying smoke or visible flares can be used as a marker if agreed upon with other units. Even if you can't directly communicate with the tank crews through radio, you can assist them by giving clear visual markers of targets to engage. But maybe they already did that?

You were most likely trying to improve yourself somehow, and there's nothing wrong with that. And I don't think anyone should insult you for being convinced by Jack either, since you're not coming from a bad place or intention. Jack's meltdown IS NOT a reflection on you or your intelligence. We all make mistakes sometimes. The important thing is that we learn something from them. From a personal POV I did glean some signs that Jack was probably not what he propped himself up to be. There were some suspicious behaviours and statements that made some alarm bells ring. So instead of feeling blackpilled by this incident, follow your core motivation: to improve and learn from this experience. Analyze the way Jack handles himself compared to more authentic alpha males and continue on your mission to change your lot in life through honest improvement work and self-reflection. Jack might've been an inauthentic grifter who was trying to exploit the self improvement ethos for his own financial gain, but that doesn't make the efforts of self-improvement a bad thing at all. So don't go wandering down dark roads because of this. You deserve better and Jack is not worth your misery.

  590. There's an inverse relationship between long working hours and productivity. The longer working hours you have, the more time each individual worker feel they have to complete the job, so they get encouraged to be less productive or slack off. The shorter time you have to complete a job, the more efficiently you have to use your time. And then there are factors like fatigue and bad motivarion increasing the more of your life you spend at work.

First it's always harder to attack and take territory than it is to defend territory unless the numbers and equipment are ludicriously uneven. Attackers usually have to account for heavy casualties initially, until they manage to break through. Second, the taskforce that Putin put together for this invasion is relatively small considering the mission they are expected to carry out. We're talking about a couple hundred thousand troops, expected to take a country with a population in excess of 40 million people, and it's not a "small" country by any stretch either. That said, nobody can argue that Ukraine is winning either, because while they are dug in and defending, the Russians definitely have mobility on their side. So the Russians can almost strike at will, at any target they like, but they're facing difficulties in capturing and holding territory for extended periods of time. The Ukrainians can hold territories better, but they can't kick the Russian forces out of the country either. Note, I make these conclusions based on numbers and equipment alone. I won't even bother with news sources, because the propaganda war on both sides is in full swing so no news reports can really be trusted at all.

  616.  @michaelterrell5061  My reasoning here is that many typical historians are academics first and foremost. They study the manuscripts and the archeological finds. The community of the sword in contrast seek to live and breathe history. They don't just want to "look" at history, but try it out in practice (wearing armour, testing weapons, doing HEMA, archery and such). Even though most of them may be more like enthusiasts than academic scholars, I think their knowledge and experience would translate much better to film.

  619. Breaking bricks doesn't even require that much training to be honest. It's mostly a novelty trick. You might even call it a magic trick. One thing to note each time you see some karate blackbelt showing off by breaking cement bricks in half is that the bricks are always positioned atop of two sticks at the very edges of the brick. This creates a structural weakness at the middle of the brick, which doesn't require that much force to break it in half. But to peasants living in feudal times, with no knowledge of physics, it looked spectacular and impressive because the hand-to-hand master just destroyed a brick right before their very eyes. If the brick just lay on a flat surface instead, the only thing that would get destroyed is the martial arts practicioners hand.

  621. ScienceDiscoverer: No one said that this issue only exist in Japan. But at least Japan is somewhat proactive about it, because they came up with a name and definition for the behaviour. It's hard discussing a problem and figuring out a solution to it, if you don't even have a name for it. In other countries, people afflicted would be described in vague and inaccurate terms like "wierdos", "outcasts", "loners" and so on, which doesn't really help them, or provide a comprehensive description of the problem. As to your own issues: the first thing you need to get through your head is that the world doesn't owe you anything. You are not entitled to anything and you only deserve something by claiming it and making yourself useful to society. Stop labeling people that you're jealous of as "extroverted" and yourself as "introverted". These terms don't help you understand the problem, they're only there to provide you with excuses for not leaving your comfort zone. You feel anxiety in social situations? You wonder if you will be socially accepted for who you are and what you say? Well boo-fucking-hoo, EVERYONE feels like that, unless they are psychopaths. Stop thinking that your anxiety is somehow "special" or "extra bad", because it's not. Leave your comfort zone. Expose yourself to "dangers". Hit on a woman in public and get rejected. Pick a fight with someone and get punched in the face. Spray some grafitti somewhere and get arrested for it. Go to a house party and greet and shake the hand of everyone there. Do these things and reflect on the end results. Did the rejection, getting punched in the face or getting arrested lead to the end of the world? Did it kill you? Did it hurt you physically or incapacitate you in any way? No, it won't. But right now, you don't know it from experience, because you've never left your comfort zone. So you'll never "feel" it, which is what you need to do to develop more confidence in social situations.

  623. One question that may be worth asking in this context is this: how many Japanese people would the Americans need to kill to win the war if they hadn't used nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? While these bombings are some of the ugliest days in human history which the entire world has to work really hard to avoid repeating, the american military command saw no end to the killing had they stuck to conventional warfare for the rest of the pacific war. There are estimates that the Japanese casualties would've been tenfold had americans stuck with conventional weapons, and it would not just have been Japanese soldiers dying as a result, because civilians will always perish in war. It is important to remember that Imperial Japan enforced a very harmful and dangerous fanaticism which put an extreme amount of civilians in danger. EVERYONE, man, woman, child, old or young were expected to lay down their lives in defense of the empire. And conventional bombs, artillery and machine guns were not enough to make Hirohito or the japanese generals to think otherwise. It's not an excuse or a comfort in any way. But perhaps it is a way to understand why the Americans did what they did.

  624. Accents are just funny. Just learn to deal with it rather than be ashamed of it, I say. Even americans and english people joke about eachothers accents, and they're both supposed to be THE "english speaking" countries of the world.

They'll laugh, you'll laugh and you'll become friends.

  627. "Consider it a way to engage black audiences to a story that otherwise would feel alien to them" That's just dumb. Why wouldn't you be able to feel engaged by a story just because the story features characters of a different race from yours? Can't white people feel engaged by the story of Roots? Or Boyz n the Hood? Or Black Panther? Sure they can. So why would one go on assuming that black people have to consider the story "alien" because it is set in a timperiod and civilization where the historical characters would've been white? This reasoning is actually genuinely bigoted in the sense that it is the bigotry of low expectations.

  635. I know what you mean. Be mindful of this though. It's okay to take a break from it all. Spend time with family. Cuddling with pets. Watch a movie or whatever distractions you prefer. I know that it's easy to feel that you have a sense of "duty" to follow up on current events and that you simply have to "suffer through it". But if you do it too much, it's easy to become depressed or blackpilled in some way. And from the perspective of duty, none of us are useful to any kind of "cause" if we end up in a swamp of depression and blackpilling. This culture war is not something that's going to be settled in just one election period. It's a long struggle that is likely to last for decades. So make sure that you keep yourself energized for it by taking some time off and purposefully be "out of the loop" for some well deserved vacation from it. Long wall of text I know, but your post very much echoes my own sentiments so it felt like a good idea to share some constructive thoughts.

But he doused the entire place in gasoline and lit it on fire, not caring about whether guilty or innocent people would get hurt. That's unforgivable.

  644. Some initial thoughts, that may be adressed later in the video. The first one is that the taskforce sent to invade Ukraine does not seem numerous enough for the job. Figures I read was in the realm of 200.000 men, tasked with taking and occupying a country that is quite large and with a population in the tens of millions. Furthermore, it seems that the Russian government is unwilling to make a formal war declaration against Ukraine for propaganda purposes. Which ties their hands from deploying significant numbers of conscripts. So currently they are relying on a small number of career soldiers and hired mercenaries from the Wagner group. (Russian legislation stipulates that the full force of it's armed forces, conscripts included, can only be deployed during an actual war. Not during "special military operations") Maybe this would explain why they are having such a hard time being able to pacify Ukraine?

  645. I don't think adrenaline can keep you going forever. There comes a point where you get so tired and exhausted that not only do you become sloppy, you essentially stop caring about your own survival.

  646. But if you don't want it, then why do you still compete? If MMA fighters really opposed the practice of men, posing as women just to beat other women senseless, you need to protest by refusing to compete en masse. You need to bully and ostracize any fighter who choose to break such a strike and make their life miserable within the community. There is a principle involved here, so MMA fighters who oppose this cannot just think of their own athletic careers while allowing the whole sport to go down the drain.

Even if you don't love your spouse anymore and the marriage makes you unhappy, at least be respectful of your spouse and the happy parts of the marriage you once had and say that you want to file for a divorce. And for goodness sake, make damn sure to tell your children that it's not their fault that you want to divorce your spouse and that you still love them unconditionally.

  651.  WrathMachine : It depends on the war and the customer. Our military is oriented towards defense, because our military doctrine is not about prosecuting wars of conquest or interfering with the business of other countries. Regarding this SMG I think Sweden made the right call. The U.S had no business to enter Vietnam, and predictably it turned into a giant shitshow. So refraining from supplying the U.S with further arms was the only principled action to take. If the U.S adopts a more non-interventionist military doctrine, focused on defending it's own borders rather than toppling governments of other nations and smashing their infrastructure with the hopes of keeping the oil prices down, then Sweden would be more amicable towards trade in weapons. But ever since WWII, the U.S military has been used in a completely opposite manner. The U.S own borders is leaking like swiss cheese, since illegal immigrants just waltz in without any interference while the armed forces of the U.S is off on the other side of the world, killing people and destroying things which have no realistic chance of ever threatening anyone on the U.S home soil.

  652. What kind of STD was it? The reason for asking is that a few STD's lay dormant without any outward symptoms for years, so a person can be a carrier for it without knowing about it and infect a current partner with an STD contracted from a previous relationship. I'm not saying your ex didn't cheat on you. I'm just saying that contracting an STD from a spouse isn't always definitive proof of infidelity.

  654. In feudal Japan, assassinations were quite common too. One way to counteract assassination attempts went into the very castles themselves, where floorboards were purposefully built so that they would creak audibly whenever someone walked on them just to make life more difficult for assassins who tried to sneak around inside of them.

  655. I also remain an atheist. The great regret of mine is seeing so many atheist become converted to a religion of woke. I am not an atheist because i abhor what christians would dub "christian values" (strong supporter of the nuclear family, trying to forgive people of genuine mistakes, not being too judgemental etc.) In fact, I live by many such values. It's just that I don't do it due to a fear of god or divine punishment if I fail to do so. I do it because they work pretty well, all things considered, both for the individual, the family and the community.

Especially not since they have their own names and pronounciations for our western countries as well. It's a perfectly fair system of tit for tat and there's no valid reason to change it. And as far as "Turkiye" goes... I refer to them as "Cockroach Land"

Who cares if I end up dead during the attempt. Most people in the world die completely pointless deaths and won't be remembered by anyone. So if you ever have that opportunity to go into danger to save someone, especially a classroom full of defenseless children, then why not? If you take out the shooter, you can always look back on it for the rest of your life and feel like you did something genuinely good and impactful in this world. If you get shot, then it's still a hero's death. Win/win, I'd say.

  664. The part about art not having to be about race makes me think of Rowan Atkinson and "Mr. Bean". The character Bean is massively popular all over the world. And the reason behind it is because the comedy sketched that feature Bean are purposefully made to not rely on language or knowledge of cultural contexts. It's like Atkinson and the involved writers tried to strip away as much cultural context from the humour as possible in order to reach a sort of universal "core or comedy" that anyone on earth can understand and find funny. So Bean's race becomes irrelevant. His British background is irrelevant. The language that he supposedly speaks (although he just mutters and mumbles inaudibly most of the time) becomes irrelevant. It doesn't matter if you're from Britain, Egypt, Bangladesh, Uruguay, France or Finland. The comedy in Mr. Bean can be understood by everyone.

The knowledge of all those pistons set into motion by tiny gasoline powered explosions. I don't care if the electric vehicle accelerates faster. I want to hear the engines roar. It's a masculine urge of mine. In the same way I like hearing the loud bangs of firearms when shooting.

Heck, he could've just stayed quiet entirely and gone about with his regular content while not doing more collabs with Shad in the future and wait for the relatively minor outrage to die down. It would've been a bit cowardly too, but at least it would've been more classy. And that's why I am openly critical of his actions. It's not the fact that he "dumped" Shad.

  671. A small question about using drawings as evidence for how the long bow was employed: Are there any drawings made by people who actually participated in the battles they depicted with their art? I'm not sayng i'm certain of this, but a propable reason for why archers are depicted in most art as shooting straight at their enemies rather than employng the "arrow rain" tactic of firing in an arch might be because the only practical examples of archery that most medieval artists came into contact with was during archery competitions and target practice. Therefore it's not unreasonable to assume that the artists didn't really see or have any practical experience with battlefield archery, and just assumed that archers would fire straight at their foes in battle rather than in an arch. Now while it is true that the arrow might lose some power by being fired in an arch with an angle to steep, the arrow will most certainly lose powrr by being fired straight due to gravity pulling the arrow towards the ground. If fired at a certain arch however, where the direction is more in line with the direction of gravity pull, the energy released at impact might actually increase rather than decreasing because the arrow carries the energy from the gravity pull as well as the energy of the velocity exerted on it by the bow, as well as increasing your range. From what I've read of battlefield archery, one method was that the commander of the archers fired a first shot, holding the bow at a particular angle so the other archers and the battlefield commanders could determine where it lands. Then the other archers try to match that angle and fire just when the enemy pass that first test shot, which ensured a maxmum amount of kills. There's also another advantage for archers to fire in an arch rather than straight forwards: and that is that you can deploy more ranks of archers firing at the same time since they fire over eachothers heads. If your archers all fired straight forwards, you could only have two ranks firing volleys of arrows (the front rank, and the rank behind them firing between the front rank) which isn't ideal sometimes.

Possibly even in neolithic times, although stone age people probably had a better "natural" dental health because their diet consisted of a lot of hard to chew foods (like roots) which made up a kind of natural abrasive that cleaned the teeth when eating.

If you want to feel proud about something, then go out and achieve something of your own. The inventors that came before you are good to be INSPIRED by, but they're no valid source of pride to anyone but themselves, and possibly their teachers and parents who raised them right and taught them skills.

  694. I'd ask the following: If you are to deny people tax funded welfare... Why then should they feel compelled to pay any taxes at all? You'd literally play completely into the libertarian argument that taxation is theft, because you'd be stealing from people to fund welfare, supposedly "available to everyone", while at the same time telling the people you're stealing from that they are banned from the welfare they're forced at gunpoint to pay for.

  699. Damn... If the brass solves the problem of you getting slaughtered by removing the fire simulation equipment, then I can see why we get so many american and british servicemen travelling to our bigger airsoft games saying that it's excellent practice for the real thing. I mean how are you supposed to learn what you're doing right, and what you're doing wrong unless hits are registered and there's some kind of penalty for it? :S I've breached alot of buildings just playing airsoft. It's fucking hard just doing that when all you got to worry about is losing a game and maybe experiencing some sharp pain when some asshole fires a full auto burst to your face at close range (happens a lot more often indoors than firefights in the woods). It's damn good fun though. Especially when people are using pyrotechic grenades and smoke grenades, since there are so many tactical uses for it in built up areas. Although opposing teams tend to think we're overdoing it when we throw pyrotechnic frag grenades into pretty much every room before entering (no civilians to worry about, so why not sprinkle frags everywhere you can right? ;) )

  701. I don't think it's wise to use favouritism to youtube and delaying uploads to vidme for a week. It's just healthy to branch out on multiple platforms. Youtube, and Google by extention are showing clear signs of monopoly bloating. They're inventing and enforcing irrational policies against users simply because they can, rather than out of any sort of necessity. Unless youtube directly pays you a handsome compensation for uploading videos to youtube first, there's no reason whatsoever tjat you should do it. It's about time youtube and google get a taste of free market competition, because so far they've been living blisfully unaware of this fact of life. Also, there are plenty of people who dislike youtube's powermongering ways and have decided to boycott youtube for this very reason, and went over to vidme instead. Some of the undoubtedly enjoy your content and would like to support you, but cannot support youtube as a platform for ethical reasons. There's no reason why you should show preferential treatment towards youtube users over the vidme users. You're not under any obligations to youtube as a company.

Hence why the Retiarius was armed with a trident and a net (fishermans tools) and some Murmillo helmets were decorated to resemble a fish head with scales.

The patriarch of a peasant household would most definitely have a say and interfere with any marriage plans of his sons and daughters.

So don't make the mistake of thinking that only nobles married for political/business reasons while commoners were somehow allowed to "marry out of love", because that was most definitely not the case.

  723. Aren't there some modest authors of memoirs though? Reading memoir sections of books of scientists in natural science, they've often come across as quite humble and they often make a point of stressing the contributions from colleagues, predecessors and science team members. The quote: "If I can see far it's because i'm standing on thw shoulders of giants" come to mind here. Then again, in military culture, assertiveness and pro-active dispositions seem to be favored among high ranking officers. So maybe it's difficult to find a modest officer, let alone one who wrote memoirs.

  724. Japan is a military ally of the U.S. Adding to their defense is what military allies do. You might also consider the fact that the U.S still has restrictions in place on how Japan is "allowed" to develop in a military capacity following the aftermath of WWII. Basically, the U.S has neutered Japans ability to defend itself fully, yet you claim that the U.S had no responsibility whatsoever in adding to the defense of Japan? That's like me taking all your guns away, saying that you can't own any weapons, but I'll also refuse come to your aid when you're being assaulted on account of being unarmed and defenseless. As long as these oppressive and archaic restrictions are in place and enforced by the U.S, they DO have a responsibility to protect Japan whether you like it or not.

  728. Couple of things that bugged me about the tv-series: Ragnars brother being called "Rollo". Rollo is a latinized name. His real name in scandinavian would've been "Hrolf" or "Rolf", and should've been pronounced as such. "Rollo" just makes me think of the toddler in the cartooned series "The Cleveland Show". Second, in one of the episodes they visit "The Temple of Uppsala" (presumably in Uppsala, Sweden) and the show depicts this as some grand wooden temple, among the mountains and even with some dramatic waterfalls nearby. There is just one problem... Anyone who ever went to the actual Uppsala would tell you that the entire Uppsala region is completely flat. All you'll see in Uppsala are open plains, fields and a few patches of largely flat forests. And the only waters you'll see consists of lakes and creeks. So, some grand wooden temple in the mountains? In Uppsala it ain't! :P

This practice is predatory and definitely makes you a "bad guy" if you partake in it. Luckily we caught these assholes with their fingers in the cookie jar, and we have now made it impossible for Gamestop to go into bankruptcy. So hedgefunds will continually lose money until they cover their shorts... Which they can't, since the predatory idiots shorted Gamestop 140 %. They need more shares than what makes up the entire company to cover. And I couldn't laugh harder at their misery and pain. 🤣

  744. I can't help but feel that a lot of people get misdiagnosed with depression because western culture has made it seem like happiness and elation is the "normal" state of mind. So if anyone ends up being "below" that, they start thinking they're depressed and overfocus too much on it until it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Being in touch with your "raw" mental being seems to be something that most people just desperately try to avoid at all costs, rather than sitting down and just go through the experience and learning how to deal with it. If you're tired, everyone drinks coffee or energy drinks. If they're stressed, the drink or smoke cannabis. If they're comfortless they eat unhealthy foods. If they're sad they start popping anti-depressants. How is anyone supposed to be able to learn to know themselves when they immediately resort to chemical escapes of somekind to avoid having to go through an inconvenient emotion?

  772. kama2135: Absolutely. And that's another issue that makes the issue further complicated: the fact that japanese students aren't taught about what happened. I'm not entirely sure of how prevalent it is, but from my impression, the japanese educational system (most likely under order from the government) really gloss over or ignore atrocities that the japanese government of the past has done. So many japanese citizens probably live in ignorance, which might make them feel unduly attacked by some koreans speaking out against it and react in a less desirable way that's not conducive to better relations, despite the fact that the criticism is quite valid. So I do agree with many people that the japanese government of today should acknowledge what happened more and start teaching the truth rather than try to gloss over the truth like they do now. I would argue that the average japanese person would agree that this would also be for the benefit of japan, because most japanese people of today seem quite pro-social and believe in virtues like cooperation and friendly relations and trade with other countries. And it's not like acknowledging the atrocities of the past and apologize for them out of respect of the victims would "cost" them anything. It's just the human, decent thing to do. Japan and South Korea are after all very similar in many ways. Both highly industrialized, free and prosperous societies in east asia. They both have everything to gain from improved relations and mutually beneficial cooperation would surely spring from an act of concession and public apology on the part of the japanese government.

  773.  @101Mant  Yes, it's a scourge on the film industry too. The "artistic license". What I find ironic is that "artistic license" is the norm rather than the exception. To the point where if a historical film actually attempted to be as historically accurate as possible, it would be an absolute rarity in film in general. Directors and script writers really need to eat some humble pie. Their "artistic vision" is not always superior to actual history, since there's plenty of historical figures you could do a movie about who lived exceptionally interesting lives, where no "artistic" embellishments are needed.

The MG34 was developed to use the standard German rifle round of 7.92×57mm Mauser." "As a result, the sustained rate of fire was very high. The MG 34 was so accurate that *it was often mounted on a tripod with a telescopic sight for sniping at very long distances* . It was chambered in the standard 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge (often called 8mm)." As to the rest of your ignorant claims, The BAR 1918 had a pathetic magazine capacity and couldn't sustain fire long enough to be a useful light machine gun. The M1 is a sub-machine gun. It doesn't compare to a light machine gun. Then there's the matter of how many were issued. The Browning 1919 weren't issued in nearly the same proportions as the Mg-34 and the Mg-42. So yeah. Back to history class with you. And btw, there is no such thing as a "sniper rifle". The term is "precision rifle". Sniper is a type of soldier, sniping is an activity, neither are a weapon.

The strict definition of revisionism means revisiting evidence or theories using more exact methods of research in order to determine if the current consensus is accurate or if it may be shown as inaccurate as revealed by new evidence or more sophisticated methods of research. Respectable historical revisionism always looks for, and presents evidence to whichever case is being argued. But these blatant attempts at re-writing history by injecting ethnically incorrect people into historical events in fiction is not really revisionism, but pure, unadulterated propaganda.

I can't speak for all kinds of software of course due to my limited experience with programming (a few years learning C++ ), but out of all compilator software that I used when writing code, you could usually consider yourself "lucky" if the software had wild and spiffy "graphical effects" like... Coloured lines of highligted code. Yeah, that's right. Having software that changed the colouring of letters from black to red font or green font when you made a "syntax error" to illustrate more clearly where you went wrong was quite unusual and "advanced". :D I think this is because the software developers of compilator software in different programming languages assume that anyone pickint them up already have an understanding and genuine interest in programming from the start. Sound effects and graphical effects (even helpful kinds) seems to be considered an unecessary afterthought most of the time. XD

But children can also be sired throuch concubines in many cultures at the time, further negating the need for marriage to be an integral part to procreation.

  837. Faking the death of the commander and using the christian defenders faith against them is typical of a Norse mindset at the time. Reading the Poetic Eddas and the Sagas it becomes quite clear that while the Norse placed great emphasis on martial prowess, there was one thing that superceeded the importance of being an adept fighter: cunning. Odin is the ruler of the Aesir after all. But Thor is largely considered to be the "God of war" in the Norse pantheon. Odin is also a god of war, but above all he's the god of Wisdom and Cunning. Going so far as to sacrifice his eye in order to drink from the well of Mimer, imparting supernatural abilities of wisdom and foresight. Vikings would be fed stories like this with the breastmilk basically. So it makes perfect sense that they would use and exploit a weakness in the defenders like this, with zero regards for whatever the defenders consider to be sacrosanct.

Sugary drinks or beer for example will ellicit urination much quicker than water (which is why it's actually a bad idea to drink beer or fizzy drinks if you feel thirsty on a hot day because the body will expend more moisture trying to process the contents of the beverage than it retains fluid from the beverage)

  841.  @masterchef1174  Thank you for the noble concession. That's very big of you. I apologize for my earlier insults and withdraw them. I'll let them stand in my earlier posts rather than deleting them so it doesn't seem like I try to cover up any bad behaviour on my part, so everyone can see that my apology is sincere. Also, just to clarify: I don't "feel sorry" for pedophiles in general by comparing their condition to anorexia. And I wouldn't excuse a child molester on the basis that he is sick (I don't care if you are a sick person, you are still responsible for your behaviour and actions). That said, there are different kinds of pedophiles in the world. Remember that a pedophile is a person who is attracted to children. Not all pedophiles take the step of actually molesting a child, but rather battle with their feelings brought on by their mental illness and try to suppress them and control them. Because "intellectually" they realize that a child is not a proper target of sexual affection. But their FEELINGS say otherwise. As much as I might think that such feelings are revolting, I do think that these pedophiles need and deserve help from society to combat these feelings and to avoid harming children. After all, what incentive do these people have to try and fight their feelings if society just shun them and treat them with scorn? Shunned and scorned people in general tend to develop very anti-social personalities and eventually end up in a state of mind where they stop caring about norms, morals and even the law, and instead become predatory and dangerous. I don't think the threat of incarceration is enough to motivate a person to obey the law. An individual needs something more than that. Like a social life and an implicit promise that they will have a decent, good life if they work hard, obey the law and engage in a pro-social behaviour in general (being helpful and considerate to others, abiding by norms and standards etc.) Granted, society can't reward a "virtous" pedophile with the kind of intimate relationship they desire. But at the very least, they should have the opportunity to be treated with common decency and respect, rather than hate and harassment. And it's not for "their" sake, but for the sake of the children that they might end up targeting if they are treated constantly as social pariahs. But then, there are pedophiles that have basically succumbed to their twisted feelings. Pedophiles actually arguing in defense of their feelings and that the law should permit them to molest children. Such individuals should be treated with suspicion (if they haven't broken any laws yet) or be completely sequestered from society (if they do break the law and molest children) But regardless of which kind of pedo we're talking about: none of them actively chose to be pedophiles. It would make no sense choosing it if it was a matter of choice considering how difficult it is to be a pedophile as opposed to be a normal, heterosexual person. And as I've argued already: the occurence of lolicon in society won't have any impact on the pathological nature of pedophilia. It's not going to "trigger" anyone to molest children, nor is it going to "prevent" someone from molesting children (at least based on the current evidence, but the matter should probably be studied more deeply) What causes child molestation is basically factors like opportunity, intellectual capacity to understand why sex with children is and should be illegal and strength of character. Lolicon is inconsequential.

  851. I agree about the part about not judging ancient people's by our own moral standards. We tend to think that our moral standards and ideals are some sort of "ultimate human condition" to the point where some people can't understand how anyone would be capable of thinking differently. Like for example about slavery, equality, empathy and so on. But one has to understand and accept that our morals are not the norm in history. They are the exception. Our ideas have existed for such a short time as to be considered tiny in comparison to the ideas held by ancient peoples. Their civilizations lasted for thousands of years. Our modern day civilization has barely made it through it's first 150 years. And from the looks of the instability and chaos in the world right now, i'm not so sure it will last much longer without being significantly changed. One thing I have learned from personal studies of the way ancient people's thought, is that they had a more categorical mindset compared to ours. People were much more associated with their class and family and profession. There was no such thing as "equality" between classes or genders or ethnicities. This would be a very foreign concept to an ancient person. Some political activists today consider this to be evil. But how can it be evil? The reason we think the way we do about class, equality and human value is because we have the privilige of being schooled by certain prominent thinkers who were born many many centuries after ancient rome. So to dismiss romans or any other ancient people's as evil, is kind of like being religious and dismiss people not a part of your religion as evil, even though they had no way of knowing about your religion and it's teachings to begin with. We don't consider slavery to be evil today because the "yearn for freedom" is some sort of objective and intrinsic human trait that all humans share. We consider slavery to be evil because we have been taught to think that. The ancient romans weren't. They were taught differently.

  859. Oh, so Cleopatra would look like Halle Barry, eh? Last time I checked, Cleopatra was a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Who are Macedonian Greek in origin (the founder, Ptolemy I/Ptolemy Soter was even a Macedonian Greek general and bodyguard of Alexander The Great) and there's only about five generations between Ptolemy I and Cleopatra. So I have to wonder, has this "expert" ever seen Greeks or Macedonians? I have, by virtue of visiting both countries and I didn't see a single one with the skin tone or african facial structure reminiscent of Halle Barry. Greeks and Macedonians are native European people's, and thus would be white. Now you could make the argument that native Egyptians/Kemet may have been black or at the very least dark skinned, but the ruling house of Ptolemy that conquered the independent Egypt were not originally FROM Egypt but from Macedonia. So they would not look like Africans at all. This whole "Black Cleopatra" bullcrap really needs to be put to bed.

The windshield was covered in snow and ice and she was really struggling trying to scrape off the snow. So I got out of my car with my own windshield scraper and walked up to her car and asked "Would you like some help with that?" And she was really taken aback and went "YES! THANK YOU! What a gentleman you are!" And me being a pretty tall man just joked "Ah it's nothing. Nice to get some use out of being vertically gifted instead of just bumping my head into things." Didn't cost me anything, and it felt nice to be able to help someone out.

  865.  LogicalSense  No it doesn't. Yes they do, and they should. Good men and women recognize that their jurisdiction and right to dictate to others does not extend globally. Our western democracies did not form because some "outsider" showed up and "taught us" to build democracies. We had to go through plenty of reforms (many of them violent) to get it. To think that you can simply "give" democracy to another country is pure hubris. You only end up making the situation worse. If these people truly want liberty and democracy, you show them a shining example for them to aspire too (even if it requires violent revolutions to get it). You cannot ever simply hand democracy over by invading the country, destroy all infrastructure and remove the government from power, and then just leave and expect shit to sort itself out.

  868. The reason why swearing is used more casually here in the west is because western culture has developed to value individualism and social independence whereas Japan has a culture that idealize conformity and collectivism. When we casually drop swearwords it's a demonstration of "toughness". We do it to show that we're not afraid of what other people might think or say about us, confident that we'll survive through skill and ability rather than through politeness. But there is a somewhat strict hierarchy involved in the practice. For instance you might be more casual with your swearing among friends, but you put on your best manners if you're in the company of your elders (like your boss at work, your parents or grandparents, or your spouses parents). It's kind of like the same thing in Japan where you bow very deeply and respectfully to seniors and adress them with honorary suffixes like "senpai", "sama" or "sensei". In certain social settings, swearing casually will reduce your social status. But in others it might increase your social status. The trick is to know when and where it is more or less appropriate to swear.

In fact, as a man, I've done more than most women have since I pay more taxes.

I think you're onto something about criticising the use of "cost" in terms of money, due to the fact that the value of pure currency is unreliable during wartime. So taking a hard look at raw material input in production and raw material output of the country is infinitely more relevant than a pricetag. Basically, you need to look at the economy as if it was a game of Age of Empires rather than a game of money. :)

Would be very interesting to see something historically accurate about native kingdoms and tribes taking place before European explorers ventured to the African continent. If one really cared about "black history", you'd want to produce something that makes it mainstream accessible. Instead, the European and american markets are only bombarded with the history of the trans atlantic slave trade (to varying degrees of accuracy). There's more to Africa than the slave trade. It's a shame it's not being shown off.

  882. kama2135: I know plenty about it. But my argument still applies, because as many people can testify, there's a lot of hate being spewed over the internet about it. But the hateful rhetoric doesn't take place between governments, it's taking place between citizens of the respective countries and that's where it's turning sour. An important principle to remember is trying not to confront regular citizens of other countries for crimes that governments have done. The issue is also very similar to what happens in Europe and the U.S. Like black people being taught (even in school) to hate white people because of slavery and colonization that happened over 200 years ago. No one alive today should be expected to feel responsible for, or apologize for crimes that happened when they weren't even born or had any means of affecting it.

  892. Same here. Personally I find that the abuse of hot-dropping ruined the game for me the most, since it basically force everyone who want to do something in the game to become a peon for one of the major coalitions in the game. Every muppet and his uncle travels through space, regardless of what ship they're in, with a cyno and as soon as they get ambushed they call in capital fleets to defend them. Massive capital fleet battles get old really fast (not only because of tidi, but just due to the format of them). The most exciting fights I've had were always in small roaming gangs in unfamiliar territory. But with the abuse of cynos, the smaller roaming gang fights get increasingly rare.

  895. As a scandinavian, i'm pleased with the accurate details mentioned about my ancestors. However, i'm a little curious about the part where you said that some historians claim that vikings attacked christian monasteries out of "revenge". As far as my knowledge of Swedish history, Christians never made any full scale invasions or conversion conquests of many Scandinavian villages at the time. The conversion mostly happened internally through the influence of scandinavian chieftains, by increased exposure to christian institutions. Like you said, the culture of ancient scandinavians valued two things above most others: force of arms, but also slyness. You'd earn respect by being a capable fighter but also a SMART person. This especially made manifest in the myth of Odin, seen as a chief of the Norse gods, and also the god to embody wisdom and slyness. And what I think ultimately consumed the pagan culture (or at least removed it from being the official religion in scandinavia) was it's own values of strength and slyness. Viking chieftans stood a lot more to gain and secure their own power and influence by converting to christianity than to oppose it at the time. Christianity wasn't just a religion at the time, but also an extensive trade cartel. Christians often avoided trade with non-christian pagans, so even if you stole silver and valuable commodities you'd find yourself cut out from most European markets regardless or how many riches you tried to sell if you couldn't present yourself as a good christian. Ancient scandinavians were a very practical people. Not very prone to sentimental preservation of things that didn't have much use for them. So these combined factors seems to have facilitated the transitioning to christianity, rather than actual conquest and violent conversions. They simply had too much to gain economically speaking to convert, than they stood to gain by sticking to their pagan ways. Although the sincerity of the vikings that did convert could most certainly be questioned (the truly pious scandinavian rulers didn't emerge until much later in history)

  900. James Cameron directed T2 and Aliens. Both sort of did the "girl power" thing. Yet they both had massive male audiences cheering for Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor. It was a good kind of girl power. Lacking in identity political crap and constant pandering to minorities. I have yet to see any hollywood production pull that off since. Ellen Ripley will probably forever be my absolute favourite female protagonist in cinema ever. Such a perfect balance between resourceful badassery (duct-taping a freaking flame thrower to a pulse rifle, or beating up an alien queen in an exo-skeleton loader is worthy of respect) and traditional, wholesome femininity (not constant showing or cleavage and ass, but more of strong maternal instincts making her go through hell to save her surrogate daughter Newt) This is how strong, female characters should be made. Yet even James Cameron himself has lost touch with this creative process over the years.

A small increase in global temperature due to greenhouse gasses will not cause it to happen.

  907. For some reason, I get the impression that a lot of people underestimated the Romans in ancient times. And in some ways I can see why. The romans fought in a very orderly and disciplined fashion. From afar, a Testudo formation doesn't look all that terrifying compared to a screaming horde of barbarians swiftly closing in on you. But as many learned the hard way, crashing into a roman formation means it's unlikely you're getting out alive, no matter how hard you and your comrades in arms beat those scutum, you barely make a dent in the Roman numbers, while they quickly counter attack at every given opportunity, slowly but surely thinning out your numbers until eventually only a fraction of your side is left standing, and that's when the Roman legionaires finish you off.

And doing what you muppets do and claim that there MUST have been black africans in scandinavia at the time because a tiny portion of norsemen visited the most northern parts of africa. Suffice to say that you are really going out on a limb with your assumptions, and I have zero reason to entertain your far fetched theories and wild assumptions to which you have shown zero proof to back up..

On the same token, with slaves being the norm it also might have stifled industrial development since farmers aren't likely to purchase tractors or mechanical harvesters (which would have been very expensive pieces of machinery when they were first released) if they already have crews of enslaved farmhands to do the job for them.

So you can't really use the "muh capitalism" or "muh free market" arguments here, since the state of things is a direct result of government intervention rather than market forces. Also, the one thing that Russia dedicates financial resources to is the military, so they're definitely a superpower in the military sense. And also definitely superior to South Korea in that department.

  962. So you're suggesting that animal species that have been bred and domesticated for literally THOUSANDS or years to rely on humans for their survival and to feel safe around their human owners all really want "freedom" (meaning being let out in the woods to fend for themselves against vastly superior predators out to kill them and eat them)? Take a look at the average cow. Notice how it's built. How it's muscles and excessive fat just hangs of it's skeleton, and how swollen and impractical it's udder looks. Compare that to a close wild cousin to cows that hasn't been domesticated, like buffalo or even wildebeest. These wild variants are normally much better built in terms of body structure and more adapted to survive in the wilds and fend for themselves against predators, because they haven't been domesticated like cows. If you started letting all domesticated cows out of their pens and expected them to fend for themselves, you'd be doing the cows their greatest disservice of their lives. They aren't evolved to survive out in the wilds, they are DOMESTICATED. As in purposefully born and bred to favor certain qualities that are useful to humans (more meat, more milk, docile temperament etc.) but which would make them an inferior species in the wilds. So no, they don't walk around desiring "freedom". They desire safety, shelter, food and protection which they get from humans. And it would be downright irresponsible to deny them these things, since we humans basically made them into what they are now.

  963. BonesTheCat: yes atheists do bad things. But atheism do not in any way or form condone them. In fact, atheism doesn't even deal with what the individual should or should not do. Atheism is not an ideology but a perception. Atheism doesn't strive for anything in particular. It had no "goals" or justified methods of living. Religion on the other hand does condone things like murder, slavery, sexual assault, war, genocide etc. It's easy to find hundreds, if not thousands of passages saying this in every "holy book". And religious people all run around saying that religion shouldn't be held responsible for such heinous ideology. Therein lies the difference between atheism amd religion.

However, my natural skeptic side finds it a little bit "too good",and makes me want to question your sources a little. Can we be certain that the authors of your sources aren't biased in some way and have some sort of self-interest in portraying General Mattis in an extremely favorable light? Do take note that i'm focusing more on the sources now rather than you personally, because you concluded your video with a high degree of integrity and intellectual honesty by admitting that you primarily made this video to present your own personal interpretation and impression of the information that you've gathered from the source material so far. And i'm not going to flat out say that the sources are wrong or misrepresentative in any way (I haven't read them, so I couldn"t possibly know). My instinct just make my "too good to be true"-radar flash if you get my meaning? Although I certainly hope he is just as competent and inspiring as your sources and this video presents him to be. All soldiers who put their lives on the line in service to their country deserve competent commanders. Even if their civilian national leaders don'r always have noble goals with their military actions.

  969. There is a type of traditional bread made here in Sweden that shares a few properties of ships biscuit. It's called "Knäckebröd" (Crisp bread) and is still enjoyed today at swedish breakfast and dinner tables. It's a pretty thin slice of bread that's also very dry so it can be stored for months without going bad so long as it's kept away from moisture. In modern grocery stores they are normally shipped being cut into rectangular pieces, but hundreds of years ago they were shaped into big circular discs with a hole in the center. This shape had a purpose where you could thread several discs of bread onto a wooden dowel, and the dowel would be mounted high up in a kitchen to prevent rats or mice near the fireplace so the vermin couldn't reach it and the heat from the hearth would ensure that the bread was kept dry and good to eat for a very long time.

  970.  @eddiebruv  It was very expensive, yes. Slaves did not come cheap. In the U.S it would take several years before a single slave had produced enough to earn his master the same amount of money that he paid for the slave. Slaves also had more expensive upkeep compared to exploitable employees. A slave had to be fed, housed, seen to by a doctor and guarded to prevent them from escaping. A hired farmhand on the other hand would have to settle for some low pay, and maybe be allowed to sleep in the barn if he didn't have his own accomodations. So back during the trans atlantic slave trade in the U.S, paying workers was a steal compared to owning slaves. The only upside to slavery for the master was the fact that buying a slave was more of an investment that would net a stable income further down the line, whereas a hired farmhand could just run off and pursue better pay elsewhere if he felt like it.

  977. As a valid criticism of books: remember that books appeal to human vices too and not just virtues. For example, there's a big difference between reading "On Liberty" as opposed to engorging yourself in "120 Days in Sodom". And you can bet your butts the decadent and bored aristocracy of the victorian era found Marquis De Sade's writing very tittilating and exciting.

But what many people forget is that Odin, The Allfather and king of the gods in the Norsemens pantheon was considered the god of wisdom and cunning. Norsemen valued wisdom and knowledge as much as they valued strength and being able to take charge. Thor might be prominent, but Odin was still the king.

  985. What I find the most intriguing about Gus Fring, is that he probably is a "net force" for good in some respects. He's involved with meth production and sale, and maybe he use a lot of the revenue from his various businesses (legal and illegal alike) to give ti charity and youth programs, i'm not entirely sure he does it as a "front". Gus doesn't really divulge his inner thoughts a lot in Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul, but I think that in his mind, he's trying to harness the potential for wealth through crime towards the use of helping the community. He created Los Pollos Hermanos, not solely as a front for his drug trade, but also to create a job opportunity for people with quite low qualifications. And whenever he's being his most ruthless self, it is usually towards other criminals, since he views them as harmful scum of society. His methods and actions really seem to embody the addage "Can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs". He's willing to sacrifice the lives and wellbeing of drug addicts and cartel members alike in order to acquire more money to fund his community building efforts. This also shows in his relatively modest personal lifestyle. He doesn't live in a luxurious mansion. He doesn't squander money on too many luxury items. His greatest projects are geared towards community building and offering an opportunity to people who are willing to work hard and aren't "lost causes".

  988.  @joanmassat8938  And men from your mothers generation faced similar inequalities and responsibilities that women never had to burden themselves with. So it balances out. Oh speaking of "one woman's testimony". As we can see in Korea right now, one womans testimony is enough to get a man jailed for sexual assault. No burden of proof, no external witnesses, no assumtion if innocence. Yet you feminists never seem to complain when women are granted arbitrary powers to send men to prison without a due process. Why is that? 🤔
    12
  989.  @deanjay6454  Personally I have a hard time respecting people who argue from a position of complaining. It's unbecoming of an adult. People in general should be more stoic. Citing hardships of what someone had to go through in the past in order to complain about what's going on today is very dishonest. None of us argue that women and men had it better in the past. There were a wide variety of gender based injustices. For women it could be not being able to file for a divorce. But for men it could be conscription and being sent to die in a war, regardless if the man wanted to go or not. But those are problems of the past. They aren't relevant today. And women living today certainly shouldn't be given any extra benefits just because women in the past faced injustices. And the same goes for men. If you're going to tackle problems of today, they should be treated as current day problems and be scrutinized in their own context, and not by dragging up a bunch of injustices that have existed in the past but are long since gone due to new legislation. But this is what cultural marxists do all the time. They whine and complain about the past to justify their theft of today. But take it to it's logical extreme: where does it end? Human history is rife with atrocities, wars of conquest and government oppression. If we're going to run around and "give back" all that was ever taken, all of society and the world will be plunged into chaos and the majority of people who acted in good faith (for example, people who purchased land with their own money that was conquered at some point in the past) will be destitute in the process. Whatever changes we make, can only be on a "from now on"-basis. There is no valid way for anyone to "correct" the past.

A "rise through the ranks" type of person. Higher education would complement such life experience but isn't necessarily a requirement as far as i'm concerned. And another important point is that the candidate should be a family man or woman with kids of their own, perhaps even grand children, who live in the country the candidate is supposed to govern. I've also seen some horrid examples of "professional singles" without children being elected into office and their values are too warped to allow them to do a good job.

Romans habitually made stuff up about non-Roman cultures in their writings (Roman propaganda basically). Now I might've been swayed if there were some findings in the form of runestones that described the practice, or the Sagas mentioning it somewhere. But there is no mention of it whatsoever. All we have is some professors (usually political activist professors) who cherrypick certain segments from the sagas and go "Well this could be INTERPRETED as homosexuality" or whatever, and the Hollywood film makers and their lefty friends latch on to these unfounded speculations and suddenly go "SCIENCE said that VIKINGS were bisexual and homosexual!" Pretty absurd, but then again political zealots are absurd.

  1011.  @Black.Spades  The fact that you can make an income of a hobby does not make it a job. "All those people" you're refering to are a tiny nearly insignificant minority compared the millions of people who do acting as a hobby. Calling acting a "job" is like saying that your average garage band is "working for a living" when they practice for their next dive bar perfomance which will pay them nothing but beer and peanuts. There's a reason why smart parents tell their kids to stay tf out of pursuing "art careers" and going to "acting school". It's because hardly any of the graduates will have the luck and connections to get a paying job where their education will be of any importance. A job is something you can educate yourself for and get. When only a tiny minority of graduates actually get the job they pursued through education, and mostly did so out of luck and knowing the right people, then it's no longer a job. It's just a person being priviliged enough to be able to earn an income through their hobby/passion.

If the germans had first captured and held the oil fields, the clock would be ticking for the Soviets because they would be faced with a prospect of severe fuel shortage, while the germans in turn would've secured a fuel source for themselves. It would've been logical to capture the caucasus oil fields first and THEN go after railway hubs and port cities slong the volga river.

  1018.  @andarted  Uh yes there is plenty of indication that the bugs were responsible for the meteorite. For starters: they've staged similar attacks in the past and even been observed doing it. Second, the Rodger Young even encountered the meteorite and only narrowly avoided it, which took out their comms so they couldn't send a warning back to earth about the inbound meteorite being sent from the system occupied by bugs. You're not looking at the actual film, you're looking at it through some liberal arts lens with wacky and fanciful interpretations of your own. And Trump is right: immigrants do reduce the living standards of the working class in any country. It's very simple to understand: the job market is just that: a market. Like all markets, supply and demand govern the prices. The amount of supply in labour govern the level of the salaries. The more labour there is, the more the price for labour drops (that is the wages). So if you've got a working class with low incomes already: flooding the country with immigrants desperate to do the same labour more cheaply, then the living standards for ALL (both the native working class, and the immigrants) is reduced. If your government is also stupid enough to give those immigrants the same access to welfare, then it means that more people will be forced to share the meager resources that the welfare has available. But being a typical leftwing idiot, I suppose you believe that employers should just pay higher salaries to everyone "out of the goodness of their hearts" or some shit. Too bad your ideology doesn't mesh well with how the real world works...

  1026.  @DaSpineLessFish  I'd say both, actually. An army needs a determined nation behind it. There wasn't enough national determination behind the war in Vietnam or Afghanistan, and both ended up in a loss for the U.S. It will be exceedingly difficult to win a war without determined soldiers. But the same is true for not having a determined nation, since the army depends on the nation for material support.

  1030. You fix that problem by instituting reforms that financially benefit people having children. Give parents generous tax breaks, and institute reforms that permit mothers and fathers free time to take care of and raise their children, and more people will start having children. The problem with many of these societies is that they are designed to give single men and women most benefits in their careers, while parents are forced to sacrifice careers and standards of living in order to start a family.

  1031. Alexander M: Actually, women hunted too during the stone age. Hunting doesn't require male gender when tools and weapons are involved. In fact, playing soccer at professional levels is a lot harder (and damn near impossible for women) than being a successful hunter using stone age tools. The soccer player has to rely on their body's physical fitness completely, and even with a handicap (since soccer doesn't permit the usage of hands), which gives men a very significant advantage. Hunting with spears, bows and arrows and traps on the other hand requires more in clever tool usage, tactics and knowledge of prey behaviour, tracking etc. Skills that can all be taught and aren't as reliant on physical fitness as soccer, even though physical fitness will certainly make hunting more pleasant since it sometimes require you to walk very long distances. And before anyone bring up these primitive tribes today that "run down gazelles" and stuff like that and use it as definitive evidence that hunting requires you to be at peak physical performance, i'll just say this: There's a reason why these tribes still live like cavemen in the modern world while we, descendants of smarter stone age tribes ride cars, airplanes and have agriculture to supply us with food. These tribes spending their time idealizing running down gazelles aren"t very smart. They're not hunting very intelligently with the tools and technological levels available to them. Remember, hunting is first and foremost about getting food. Why do we need food? Because we need to refill on nutrients as we expend energy. The best hunters don't do shit like expending vast amounts of energy trying to run down prey. The best hunters (and this is true even in other animal species) are the ones spending the LEAST amounts of energy to catch their prey.

  1032. Naughty Caulifla: Europe didn't become the center of civilization by "taking it chill".

The fact remains that you can't prove the presence of any black people in Scandinavia at the time. Bones are the only definitive evidence and since there are no bones of any black people, the only scientifically correct assumption is that no black person was there.

The difficulty lies in getting them to accept and criticize members of their own group who speak out in favor of it. There seems to be historical reasons for that, and a lot of them feel like if they would call it out, they'd be betraying their own. They need to be made to understand that calling out someone from your own religious and ethnic group for promoting bad values is not a betrayal of the entire group itself.

So yeah, I believe him when he says it can be quite tedious to fly.

  1072.  @chuy3162  It's also a good way to ensure that your own civilians get slaughtered. As we see in Ukraine right now. Zelenskyy made the disastrous decision to basically hand out guns to any civilian who wanted them. People without training or military expertise. Now put yourself in the shoes of a russian soldier when he learns of how the Ukrainian government is arming civilians en masse. Will he check his targets or will he shoot at anything that moves with this knowledge at the back of his mind Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian government share some of the blame when it comes to civilian casualties because of this, due to their desperate acts of pressing civilians into service and arming civilians.

As the other bumbling and feeble parties had to improve the state of things, but being unable to due to inherent incompetence and a refusal to let go of the social justice and multiculti narratives.

Most people who get shot go down to shock, trauma and pain THEN they bleed out.

I mean, when I grew up I liked shows like TNMT, Swat Kats, The Pirates of Dark Water, He-Man And the Masters of the Universe, Lucky Luke, Asterix and Obelix and Tintin. There weren't any "political messaging" in either of those. Sure, some of them were violent, but the violence was often pretty tame and just that regular level of action that appeals to young boys and make them excited. But I can't remember a single situation where they came off as "preachy" or trying to spread political or ideological messages aside from regular human decency stuff along the lines of: "bullying is bad" or "protect those who aren'r as strong as you". You know, ideals that anyone can agree with, regardless of political views.

  1101.  @-lord1754  Well I've spent more than a decade now being called a racist in part because I pointed out that the reason our welfare systems have worked well up until now is because they were designed with the assumption that the majority of people will work, pay their taxes and not commit crime, so as to create money and resources to take care of a small minority of people who can't work and support themselves (the sick, the infirm, the elderly, people who are temporarily out of a job but will rejoin the workforce as soon as they get hired etc.) The system was never designed to be able to function properly with an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-taxpayers where 50 percent of them do not have a paying job after living in the country for 7 years. But because leftoids are naive and gullible, they believed that we could extend our welfare to basically cover the needs of an infinite amount of people just by raising taxes. And naturally I have been proven right in the end.

If it had been a MIRV it could've used the overflight to scatter multiple nuclear warheads across Japan, and neither the americans or the japanese had any way of knowing what the missile was armed with on it's approach. Generally it's better to shoot down any foreign missile with a trajectory that's passing over your own country. Just letting it fly is courting disaster.

You'd paddle it. There can be circumstances when it's just as foolish to hit an enemy city with an H-bomb as it would be to spank a baby with an axe. War is not violence and killing, pure and simple; war is controlled violence, for a purpose. The purpose of war is to support your government's decisions by force. The purpose is never to kill the enemy just to be killing him...but to make him do what you want to do. Not killing...but controlled and purposeful violence. But it's not your business or mine to decide the purpose of the control. It's never a soldier's business to decide when or where or how—or why—he fights; that belongs to the statesmen and the generals. The statesmen decide why and how much; the generals take it from there and tell us where and when and how. We supply the violence; other people—'older and wiser heads,' as they say—supply the control. Which is as it should be." -Starship Troopers (Robert A Heinlein)

  1125. I'm curious about an issue regarding amphibious assaults in WWII. Is there a reason why smoke wasn't deployed to cover the advance of troops unloading unto beaches during battles like the d-day assault on the beaches of Normandy? Of course, maybe smoke was used but popular depictions of it in movies and games show masses of soldies storming headlong into the jaws of bunkers and pillboxes firing back at them with machine guns and such. I'm thinking: what if the battleships fired massive smoke shells designed to blanket the beaches in thick billowing clouds of smoke to cover the advancing troops? Wouldn't that have reduced the effectiveness of german machine gun emplacements due to not being able to pick out any individual targets until allied infantry got close enough to throw grenades into the bunkers and neutralize their occupants?

  1126. I think I might have a reasonable explanation as to why this stuff is being released now. Back in the 90's, the military and government officials were mostly composed of boomers who had very specific ideas about keeping the unexplainable under wraps and hide it from the public. But all those kids who went to college in the 90's and gobbled up the UFO series, movies and books... Have now grown up and some of them are working as officials within the same institutions that kept things under wraps. I think they are more skeptical about hiding the information compared to the now retired/dead boomers.

  1129.  @icantthinkofabetteraccount9031  Wow, that's one account. Still no archeological finds of black people in Scandinavia at the time. The problem with your source is that we don't even know if the vikings in question were Scandinavian norsemen or if they actually returned to Scandinavia at all with these slaves. Norsemen travelled the world, sold their services as mercenaries in many cultures (and would've captured slaves for their employers). Their culture also spread beyond scandinavia (like with the Kievan Rus), so it could just as well have been slavic baltic vikings doing the raiding. Or it could've been some of the norse settlers of the british isles. So there are a myriad of scenarios that do not include black africans being brought to Scandinavia at all at this point in time. And since we have ZERO archeological evidence for the presence of black people in scandinavia during this period, using one muslim writer who witnessed raids in Africa but never went to Scandinavia to see where these captured slaves supposedly ended up is far fetched and fanciful.

  1152.  Scott Joseph  Their weight must've certainly contributed a lot to that. Pretty big tanks after all. Also, I think the tracks themselves on tanks probably contributes to the issue. They give good traction obviously, but generally in all things mechanical, the more traction you have, the more friction and strain it will put on the engine and transmission. A car is not nearly as heavy, but what it also has going for it is that it only have two, pretty small contact points with the road. Accelerating the car puts the most strain on engine and transmission. But once you get it up to speed, it can lazily roll onwards by it's own momentum, only requiring a little extra gas to maintain the desired speed. Can't really "roll" along on tracks as easily, so the engine has to work more during movement.

  1159.  @budibausto  Well in my view, I don't really see the point of dragging up and condemning something that happened long into the past. The way forward is that people need to let go of past grievances when the conflict is over and both victims and perpetrators are dead. Holding on to past transgressions "on behalf" of ancestors serves no purpose. It doesn't "honour" their memory, it won't bring them back and it won't "settle the score". And I do believe with firm conviction that the victims of slavery, regardless of what race they were or during what period they were enslaved would've much prefered that different races and ethnic groups co-existed peacefully and left eachother alone rather than continually fuelling social and even military conflicts when there's no good reason to. That's why people need to let go of the past rather than reviving the conflicts of it. It goes for black people and the trans-atlantic slave trade, it goes for the jews and the holocaust, it goes for mediterranean europeans and the Barbary slave trade, it goes for China and Korea in relation to WWII and Japan, it goes for the British and their victimization from the Norse and so on. No person alive today should feel the need to- or be compelled to apologize on behalf of their ancestors. No person alive today has any moral right to be offended "on behalf" of dead ancestors. Refusing to accept this is a guarantee for further racial and ethnic divides and increse of conflicts and will keep the pendulum of Vendettas swinging forever.

It's funny how you all whine about Putin's actions towards Ukraine, but not once do you mention how the Poroshenko regime and the Euromaidan (who included groups of militant Neo-Nazis in it) treated the ethnic Russians inside Ukraine before these uprisings. I can only applaud Putin for giving real support to Russian expats being faced with such discrimination, violence and oppression that the Russian-hating Ukranian regimes subjected them to.

  1167.  @klaudinegarcia8932  Don't get me wrong: immature/dumb can certainly be cute. Like when kids or even dogs or cats do something silly and not too clever, it's endearing and heartwarming. But what I have a hard time relating to is how some Japanese seem to view "cute" as sexually arousing :S When I try to think of arousing things, then "cute" is nowhere near the first thing that spring to mind for me. In fact, it's more of a turn-off. And if an adult woman run around acting "cute" as a way to come across as sexually appealing it only has the complete opposite effect for me.

  1168. That's what I keep saying. There is a middle ground between wanting to have sex and not wanting to have sex. Nobody is saying anyone should agree to sex if they really don't want to at that moment.

  1173.  @Dogue83  In some ways I agree, but in others... When I saw the teaser videos it looked like a really awesome survival horror. But when I got my hands on the final product I felt disappointed because the gameplay ended up being a walking simulator with some puzzle solving (like every other walking simulator). I dislike walking simulators because I find them to be fraudulent. The developers make these lofty claims about "horror through atmosphere and helplessness" but at the end of the day, the real reason why they are so lacking in gameplay mechanics is either due to lazyness of the devs, lack of funding or both. There are really good survival horror games out there to take inspiration from. But it's just easier to make a game with pretty graphics than it is to make one with engaging mechanics.

It originates from when interests of different countries come into conflict as well as ideas that the world should be made to resemble ones own country rather than maintaining the uniqueness of each country and culture. Globalism is a cancer on the world and should be opposed. Without unique identities tied to unique ancestry and culture everyone will lose important aspects of themselves.

Why is it that a renowned comedian and actor like John Cleese was the one speaking out that he didn't recognize himself in London anymore on account of all the immigrants and foreign languages being spoke, while the Queen just sat silent?

  1195. Also, I disagree with the idea that war only creates death and destruction. Mainly because it's historically incorrect. War is also the single greatest spur and motive for innovation. Take a look at the swords, armour and weapons you like so much. These are inplements of war. They weren't painstakingly researched, designed and created at a whim. They were created out of a necessity of being smarter and more well equipped than your enemy. And while you might argue that these inventions are only destructive in nature and could've been completely redundant if we just didn't wage war, you'd also fail to acknowledge the many, MANY civilian applications that inventions and discoveries made for warfar eventually had. For instance the knowledge and skill in metalworking to create swords and armour which eventually got adapted to make better buildings and machines. The innvention of gunpowder, also primarily an innovation of war, but which further lead into more advanced studiesof explosives that has helped humans shape the landscape and build better and bigger cities through the use of explosive compounds. Medicine has benefitted immensly from war. Even the horrible and unethical experiments made by characters like Dr Joseph Mengele of Nazi Germany, who were only possible due to the state of war and martial law, produced results that modern doctors and physicians use today to help people. And then there's the internet. Used by you to upload videos for the world to see. The greatest communications device in history. It actually started out as a military communications software developed by the american military agency DARPA, and it was initially called "ARPANet". And there's a very simple reason why war is such a great motivator for human innovation and achievement: In peacetime, if you're not more innovative than your rivals you risk losing, what? Marketshares? Money? In times of war however, if you're not more innovative than your enemy, you risk losing your life, the lives of your family and even the very existence of your society. So to everyone who consider war to be the worst thing in human history: you might want to take a step back and ponder over these facts and realize that while war does have some awful downsides to it, it doesn't make it all bad or destructive. War is a human behaviour that accelerates human evolution and innovation. Since nature has proven too weak to test our mettle, we're forced to test our mettle against ourselves as a species.

  1207. In all fairness, the Soviet Union wasn't as repressive towards culture as reputation have it cracked up to be. If you ask people who lived in it, they'll tell you that they were very familiar with culture and fiction from the "capitalist west". Moby Dick, Sherlock Holmes, Treasure Island, Spaghetti Westerns. All of them were read and viewed by a Soviet audience, with the blessings of the state. The reason for this is that despite the state socialism, the soviets mostly respected culture and saw exposure to it as an integral part to education, and they did implement statewide education quite successfully, turning a country of mostly illiterate farmers into a country where almost everyone was literate, and higher education produced engineers and scientists that made them win the space race. Their censors looked more to repressing works that directly and overtly contradicted the state or tried to spread dissent. So outright political texts would end up being censored, while storytelling and fiction were mostly left alone. There are more prominent examples of cultural censorship in other socialist states though, like China, Cambodia and North Korea. Their officials were among the first to think that stories from the capitalist west might inspire sedition among the population, which is why they censored more harshly.

  1209. Conservative family values can really be an unattractive shackle sometimes though. The way I see it, conservative family values is not merely about getting married and having kids. It's also about taking care of your elders. And in my case, being a dutiful son it has lead to some financial retardation for me. I haven't been able to get all those mandatory status symbols like a car or a house and such, because I was born into a poor family and as soon as I got my first job I had to help my parents over investing in my own future. Now many of leftwing persuasion have told me that I should just ditch them and focus on myself. But knowing that their debts might end up getting them thrown out in the street, combined with the fact that I accrued debts to my own name in order to help them out, there just hasn't been much room to turn myself into marriage material. My parents aren't irresponsible people (at least not when I was born). But they've had a lot of bad fortunes, and made mistakes in their youth which they have to pay for now and will probably have to well into their retirement. I can't just abandon them. It goes against every fibre of my being.

But the thing is: it also makes pragmatic sense for Nato to set up shop in Ukraine as well in order to gain leverage over Russia. So all the pro-Nato "we mean Russia no harm"-bro's can go stuff it as far as i'm concerned. If a nuclear weapon is launched from Donbass against Moscow, the time of impact is 3 minutes. Which leaves no time window to respond or defend against it. An ICBM launched from the U.S takes 30 minutes before impact. Which leaves time to respond and defend. So how can anyone seriously believe that the Bidens and Zelensky only have "good intentions" and "defense in mind" by being Hellbent on turning Ukraine into a Nato state?

  1221.  @jonathanwells223  Your argument is put exclusively within the context of the law and the state. Freedom of speech is an idea and a principle and not just a piece of legislation. This is why I call out Silicon Valley tech giants for censorship. It doesn't matter if they believe that only "the state" can be guilty of censorship. What matters is if someone is getting silenced or not, regardless of whom is doing the silencing. Therefore a principled person or group would defend freedom of speech, whether it is in law or not. And that's why I criticize people like antifa. Because they're more than happy to use freedom of speech for themselves, while at the same time they use violence to take away that same freedom from others. It's not just the state that can deny a person freedoms in the end.

Also what you fail to realize, even though the video even brought it up, is the fact that Nazi germany executed soldiers for insubordination. That means that soldiers were subjected to a choice of either killing their targets, or being killed themselves. Are you seriously saying that these soldiers should've just accepted being executed rather than following orders?

I think the issue with the turkey elbow when shooting is that when shooting with matchlock guns in this period, you'd often be in a formation of gunners, so having the elbow to your body to present a smaller target didn't really affect the likelyhood of you getting hit. In a modern setting, solders aren't really massing in giant formations but are divided into squads and fire teams, shooting from the best cover they can find, so the way your elbow is held DOES affect the likelyhood of you getting hit.

  1242. But if non-domination is to be a thing, then how do we account for the fact that influential market actors can essentially hold all the means to earn an income for a lot of people hostage? Even if they don't have "legal" authority over the subject, you can still end up with a severely limited and circumvented freedom of someone with a lot of money and clout decides to turn you into a marketplace pariah. You try to seek employment someplace, but the wealthy magnate has publicly declared that anyone who hires you will be banned from the magnates business. You try to start up your own business, but the magnate sabogages you every step of the way and so on. This leads me to conclude that even if you have a society where no one has legal or politicao authority over your life, one is still free to use way too much pressure on other people through financial methods.

  1245. I think that might be an artifact of many classical films featuring roman historical characters were either british productions, or they were made in a time in the U.S where actors were instructed to adopt a british posh accent, because directors had the idea that it sounds more "sophisticated" than american twang. So people sort of associate ancient rome with posh british accents as a result. Not saying it's "right", since i'm an immersionist myself (for example, I ALWAYS go for subtitles over dubbing, because hearing non-anglophone characters speaking english in non-anglophone countries ruins immersion for me). But at least it might provide an explanation.

But as others have pointed out, he seemed like a person who out on a smily face to cover up his internal issues. There's another very common personality trait in these people, and that us that they rarely ask others for help or ever let on to others that they're troubled. Me personally do not really go out of my way to put on a happy face to cover stuff. But I know that i'm probably more stoic than what's healthy. I absolutely detest asking people for help or talking about what's eating me. Somehow I put up these "traditional" standards for myself that a man must endure shit without really opening up or asking for help. It's strange because I rarely ever expect other men to follow such standards but for some reason I demand different things from me. With this in mind, I can't really blame others for not asking me how I feel or try to get me to "open up" or ask for help, because for all they know i'm handling everything I need to.

Literally everyone will be a potential combatant. And that's not an idea you want soldiers to have in their heads if the war drags on and they're feeling tired, hungry and frustrated.

Think of an A-10 Warthog, only it's a tank rather than aircraft. While a single round might not be enough to defeat armour on it's own. Bjt what if you had 15 rounds smacking into the same square inch almost at the same time? 🤔

So what if there is a way for a modern rifle using a modern clip to get rid of some of those extra grams that magazines create? A clip is also much easier to manufacture if done right. It's just a piece of stamped and folded steel. No springs or followers needed.

  1258. And to further extrapolate, so called "african americans" have little in common with actual africans as well. They're so distinct culturally that the term "african american" becomes moot. In the end, wether you're white or black, if you've been brought up in the U.S for several generations. You are american. Period. That's how the rest of the world view you. If a white american shows up in any European country, he's not suddenly going to be viewed as a "fellow white European". He's a foreigner that is not in the know with local customs and traditions at all. Same goes for any black american going to an African country, like Nigeria or Zimbabwe. He's going to be seen as "separate", regardless of skin colour.

Scotland might not be fully independent as a state in Great Britain, but it's definitely more independent in GB than it would ever be in the EU. If the SNP had argued in favor of a more genuine independence where Scotland neither becomes a part of the EU or GB, then I would'be had a different opinion of them.

Marriage was never "just about procreation" because people can easily procreate just fine without any marriage rituals involved. Marriage was about making ties between different families for reasons other than mere procreation.

Social media needs to be more regulated in ways that safeguard their users constitutional rights. I don't care how many free market liberal capitalists crap their pants over this statement. Social media is an important platform of dicussion in society that even affects how public votes turn out. Just letting the owners of these sites arbitrarily decide who gets to make posts and who doesn't is creating problems for the fairness and openess of democratic elections. No government should allow it.

  1275. I think deepfake porn could be a blessing in disguise that women should welcome. The more common it becomes, the less impactful things like revenge porn or a previous career in the adult industry will be. Think about it: let's say you're worried about your chances of getting or keeping a particular job because maybe you worked in porn in the past or you have an ex who couldn't deal with the break-up like an adult and decided to post intimate pictures of you online. You now have an easy way out of it. If people ask, just say someone must have lifted your face from pictures in social media and used an AI prompt to make deepfake porn of you. Even if real pictures of you have been leaked, you can blame online perverts with AI and have more than plausible deniability. The more common it becomes, the more aware employers, co-workers, family and friends will be and will probably just be sympathetic since it could happen to anyone. And if you don't have a sordid past at all, then you can blame the same thing.

Granted, some things you can skimp on (like individual magazine pouches) but others you really want the real deal (plate carriers, chest rigs, backpacks, battle dress uniforms etc.) It's worth getting the expensive mil-spec items because you only have to buy them once. You can be very punishing towards them, and they'll still be intact, no matter what. So that big investment pays off compared to having to replace replicas that constantly break down on you. I'd imagine medieval arms and armour are subject to the same rule.

  1284. nattygsbord: That's a very interesting problem. Many officers and privates would say that the chain of command is sacred and has to be followed. The thing those commanders seem to have neglected is that the chain of command does not just apply from bottom to the top, but also from top to bottom. A general or commander in chief is not supposed to issue personal orders or instructions to privates, corporals or sergeants. Even though he technically outranks them, he should never act as their "boss". His orders are to be issued to colonels and other second in commands, their job is then to assign duties to officers directly below them and so on until the chain of command reaches the privates on the ground. That's how a real chain of command works, as opposed to a pyramid of command.

  1302.  @JohnTCampbell1986  Yeah, but far from every labourer is cut out for being a capitalist. Not everybody can be an entrepeneur. It's not just a skill that anyone can be taught, but a talent. So there's no shame in not having aspirations of running your own business. And it certainly doesn't mean that capitalists should be allowed to short change the labourers at every turn like some employers do. They need employees for their business. And employees needs the entrepeneur to have jobs. There's a natural and good co-dependency there, and neither side should strive towards fucking the other over. But market liberals as well as thieving socialists would basically completely remove any and all protections for one if these sides. They are both extremists who seek to upset and ruin this natural co-dependency and need to be opposed. Society will never be a "nation of shopkeepers" devoid of government, because not everyone is cut out for running a shop of their own. And it will never be an "equal collective" where nobody owns more than any other either. So the pipedreamers might as well shut up and grow up.

Which is like saying that a cowboy trick shooter (going on shows by using a late 1800's revolver to shoot dinner plates out of the air and such) would make him into a Navy Seal, SAS or Green Beret. Which is an idiotic assumption. Trick shooting is not the same as battlefield shooting. Especially not when the guy is using a "bow" that's basically like the archery version of a BB-gun, which has no place on a battlefield. Also the fact that you use the term "assassin" for battlefield conditions just goes to show your ignorance. Assassins are not battelfield soldiers like you've probably seen in video games.

  1310. In an effort to be charitable here: maybe warhorses would've been smaller compared to modern day horses, due to the fact that people in general were smaller back then too. Average height and weight has increased significantly across the world since medieval times due to a wider accessibility to meat and dairy in the diet of humans along with the multiple generations being brought up with this increased diet over time. So if the knights on average would be at the medieval average height in Europe (somewhere between 165-170 centimeters), then a knight in full armour would weigh less compared to a modern European man who is more likely to be in the span of 170-185 centimeters in length). Meaning a smaller horse could bear the weight of a physically smaller man wearing armour. But freaking Shetland Ponies? That makes no sense at all. They would be tiny even by medieval standards.

  1311. What if you had a palvese with a cut out, vertical slit extending from the top of the shield down towards the middle of it, and at the bottom it had a long metal spike. That way an archer could both aim and fire through the slit, and the single spike at the bottom would allow the archer to swivel the shield in it's place if necessary so you could adjust your aim from side to side and fire "through" your shield while covering a maximum amount of your body. Perhaps even your head if the shield is tall enough or if you are crouching behind it.

  1316.  @leothelion9124  And while you're arguing self-defense, you still support the disingenous lefty narrative that Kyle somehow brought the situation upon himself. He was not being a vigilante. He was not making any citizens arrests nor did he use his gun to stop percieved crimes from going on (like a vigilante would). He ONLY used his gun to protect himself while getting attacked. You think you're being a "smart" person when you "avoid" altercations? What you're actually doing is consenting to the left wingers being violent. You don't treat them as human beings responsible for their own actions. You treat them as some kind of innocent "animals" or something who shouldn't be held to account for their own actions, but that they must be "protected" from harming themselves on armed citizens, by having the armed citizens avoiding certain streets at night. I on the other hand do not treat leftwingers as animals. I argue that they are people responsible for their own actions and that they should justly suffer the consequences of their own actions. Kyle did not have some sort of moral duty to keep their lives safe by not being in Kenosha that night. The lefties on the other hand not only had a moral but a LEGAL duty to leave Kyle alone, but they failed in that duty and ended up dead or injured as a result. So rather than chastizing Kyle for being "stupid". Maybe you should spend more time asking the left why they think it's acceptable to just mob up and assault innocent people in the streets for no valid or legal reason?

Now they've gotta live with feeling partly responsible for not being able to save him. But i'm not blaming the guy for it. He seemed pretty unstable to say the least so I wouldn't expect him to think of those consequences too much. Still, if it was me, I'd have turned the radio off after telling the ATC that I was going for a joyride.

Every real soldier in the world knows that their duty is the same, regardless of which country you're fighting for. Yes, enemy troops may kill your comrades. But they do so because they are ordered to and have a duty and obligation to. If enemy troops surrender when they are spent (out of ammunition, out of food, energy or in a hopeless situation), you accept their surrender. Take them as captives and proceed with the strategic mission until the war is over. Always knowing that the men you just took as captives could've just as easily have been you if the tables were reversed.

That's why I find it hard to "blame Russia" for doing it, when it's so evident that the West busies itself with doing the exact same thing. And it's also the reason why I have a kind of strategic sympathy for the Russian perspective. Even if I disagree with the methods. They clearly think Nato is getting too close for comfort, and take steps to halt Nato's advances towards the east. And looking at Nato and the U.S... It would be really dishonest to call them "the good guys" and assume that they mean no harm towards Russia with their actions. Nato clearly wants to create a situation where they have the means to quickly deploy troops at the Russian border, and possibly even to deploy nukes on short notice. Both Russia and the U.S can target eachother with nukes using ICBM's. But an ICBM from either country will take around 30 minutes to arrive to it's target destination in either country. Leaving enough time for a counter attack or to shoot down the ICBM. But if Nato had the means of launching an ICBM from Ukraine to Moscow, it would arrive in three minutes. Leaving no time for Russia to respond. Geopolitcially it would be like having a gun pointed at the head of your enemy, ready to pull the trigger. Can anyone honestly blame Putin for seeking to prevent that? Can anyone honestly say that Nato would not try to reach such a situation in order to be able to intimidate Russia into compliance?

There are tons of reports of vietnamese children being sent as suicide bombers by groups like the Vietcong and the like in order to kill and maim U.S and Korean troops during the conflict. It's actions like that which cause troops to consider all civilians to be potential hostiles and leads to further innocent deaths. Put yourself in their shoes. Just the day before you had soldier buddies getting blown to pieces by a civilian suicide bomber, you're in a foreign country, scared for your life and rumors circulate everywhere that there are enemy troops hiding among the civilians. Do you seriously believe that you'd be able to make sure that you or your superior officer never harms an innocent civilian under those conditions? If anything you should place your blame on the Vietnamese armed forces who were willing to resort to such underhanded tactics. The U.S troops didn't send civilian suicide bombers to deal with their enemies, and they always wore uniforms. Real soldiers wear uniforms to show which side they're on, even so the enemies know it and so their enemies DON'T go chasing after innocent civilians in pursuit of them. When you start using civilians to attack enemy troops then YOU are the one who paints a target on civilians backs, not the enemy.

When doing so, mixing the illegally gained money with the cash that patrons of the casino, you'd create "false" profits. All taxed and perfectly legal afterwards. Or rather, the IRS wouldn't be able to distinguish the illegal money from the legal money without having an agent counting every single deposit that patrons drop off in exchange for gambling chips.

  1353. One thing to note about the "horrors of declining birth rates". Can anyone name a single country that has been destroyed or dissolved and ceased to exist as a result of declining birth rates? Declining birth rates can cause problems for a society. Potentially quite macabre ones (like senior citizens not being able to live off pensions and social services because the working population is simply too small to support them). So worst case scenario, the elderly and infirm might perish in large numbers as a result. And that would certainly be a terrible result for sure. But will it destroy a country? Personally I don't think so. The elderly would perish, their property would be inherited by the younger generations and the country and the economy would eventually adapt and balance itself to the new population levels accordingly. It would of course be ideal to avoid such a scenario, but there are some key questions that should be asked about it too. Namely: how sustainable is it, long term to structure a society like a giant pyramid scheme that essentially requires ever increasing birth rates to financially support an ever increasing group of elderly retired citizens? Can any society really do this long term without courting disaster? Can out planet and natural resources support such a development? Despite our best intentions, we have to adress the issue at some point that we all live with a finite number of resources, yet governments do nothing to ensure that populations stay at levels adapted to this finite number. All of them just push for us to grow ever more numerous, because it leads to short term wealth gains for a select few people. It is a very irresponsible policy that has been made a norm.

Even if things were as you say they are, then more men would still have been charged with sexual assault because hardly all women subjected to sexual assault in the workplace are as conspiratorial as you paint them out to be. But the thing is, they don't even press charges. Hardly any of them do. Yet they sit and slander people in the media. If things really were as you say they are, then the women are in on it and not victims of any sort (because they enable and help to maintain this power conspiracy by flat out refusing to involve the police)

  1359. Remember: if Beto is actually elected and use his powers to confiscate firearms, the constitution has basically given the american people the constitutional right to shoot the bastard because he's then becoming a de facto tyrant.

Although I suspect that the vast majority of american police officers will refuse to carry out any orders in confiscating firearms.

  1372. I don't think an army of archers on horseback would have many problems with sieges to be honest. Cavalry is basically a quick reaction force. If you surround an enemy castle with cavalry forces then you can easily starve the occupants of the castle out entirely since you will easily be able to intercept any attempts of delivering food and supplies to the besieged castle occupants. The foodstores of a castle, fortified town or whatever always have their upper limit. And once the enemy on the inside surrenders or die to starvation, you will have captured a defensible structure intact without the need to damage it's protective walls and battlements.

  1376. And just to be clear here: by tradition I do not mean "religion". I am an atheist myself, so there's no religious faith behind my reasoning. Even as an atheist I celebrate christmas and easter with my family. I don't do it to reinforce faith on my own part and neither do my family. We do it because the traditions and rituals involved helps to bring our thoughts to our deceased family members, and knowing that we're enjoying the same foods and common rituals that they did. It's bonding for the family members who are still alive and serve the purpose of reconnecting with those who aren't. And our traditions are also very similar to every other family in my country celebrating christmas or easter as well. So it's a common ground for every citizen.

  1383. "They do jobs that Japanese people don't want to do". While this might be true, one also has to remember that those jobs are often the only source of income for very exposed group of japanese people. Like people who didn't do well academically or young people looking to get a foot in the door in the job market. When you allow many immigrants in to take these jobs, you make life harder for these groups since competition for those jobs increase and the pay decrease. This is a problem that most pro-immigration people rarely consider or realize that people on the lower end of the social ladder are often already struggling to make ends meet. They don't need increased competition.

Letting a mere slave onto the work team would probably not befit the holy nature of erecting a Pharao's final resting place.

  1392. I don't hold it against people of Petersons age getting vaccinated. If I was an older gentleman in his position, I'd probably had gotten vaccinated too. But being a younger man, I found it too risky to get injected with something so prototypical. If I had lived most of my life and had children if my own already and with the knowledge that the virus could affect me in a far worse manner than it would do to younger people, then I could see myself taking the gamble with the vaccine. But being young and wanting a family, what if the vaccine ends up having long term effects on my virility? What if it might prevent me from having children? What if it cause some other kind of infirmity that spoils the remaining years of my youth? That risk is far too great for me. Especially so since I've already had the virus twice and came out of it just fine, with no lasting injuries or conditions. I'd rather take the risk with the devil I know, than the devil I don't

That doesn't really sound like "constant safety awareness" to me. But then again, maybe i'm just paranoid for thinking that it's probanly not the best idea to accompany four strangers who not only outnumber you but also have significantly higher upper body strength than you do to a secluded hotelroom?

  1413. Minimum wage is a bad idea. All it does is increase prices on consumer goods. In my country we don't have minimum wage. Wages are solely negotiated between employers and labour unions or individual labourers. The good thing about it is that it becomes difficult to establish a baseline income for the majority of employed people in society, which means that companies are forced to settle for lower prices for consumer goods rather than higher prices if they hope to be able to sell anything. With a minimum wage all you do is establish a baseline income for the entire population, meaning that companies can use it to set the highest prices possible based on data that they think consumers can afford and will be willing to pay. With diverse salary levels they have to try and adapt prices to fit the lowest income levels.

  1422. Sounds unlikely. After all when there has been any battle where a vastly numerically inferior force manage to defeat a numerically superior force, it is usuallu both noted and highlighted quite a lot. For example: The Battle of Thermopylæ Granted it wasn't "just" Leonidas and 300 spartans holding off the Persian Army at the time, but a couple of thousand other greeks, so the 300 mythology has been exaggerated somewhat. But even with the other greek troops they were a quite small force compared to the persians, and both historians and storytellers in general love to highlight such facts in all records they write. Commanders of triumphant numerically inferior forces would also waste no time patting their men and themselves on the back when writing their own accounts. But in this letter there's hardly any mention of it whatsoever.

  1429. In regards to the second myth. I do believe there is some role that nourishment plays. Specifically in how much vegetables people eat and how much meat and dairy people eat. It does seem that a diet heavy on meat and dairy does increase average height in people. There are modern examples of this. Take Japan for example. In the northern regions of Japan, the traditional cuisine involves more meat and dairy compared to the southern regions that are more heavy in fish and vegetables. Incidentally, average height in Japans northern region is statistcally taller than the southern region. Holland is another example in Europe. They really like meat and dairy in Holland and have done so for centuries. As a result, the average height among the Dutch is remarkably taller compared to many other countries. I'm not sure of how much meat and dairy the common man ate during medieval times, but I suspect that meat was more of a festive luxury than a part of everyday meals. Commoners probably ate more vegetables and grain than what modern people do.

That way, anyone stumbling across your non-descript videos will find relevant information about it through your introduction video.

His story is awful for sure, but just because you put a senior citizen who speaks russian to tell a story about wartime atrocities, it doesn't mean anyone should just accept it at face value.

  1457. I remember seeing one of Skallagrims videos where he tried cutting the shaft of a historocally accurate spear. It took a good couple of whacks on a stationary spear, planted in the ground and he didn't actually "cut" it off, but rather made the wood crack/splinter. I think the reason why a lot of people believe that you can cut the shaft of a polearm or staff is because their experience with wood is usually with thin rods of pine or spruce (usually in the form of broom handles and the like). Now while pine and spruce is perfectly fine for mundane carpentry and as building material, it doesn't come anywhere near ash or oak. It's sort of like comparing aluminium to steel if we were to use metals as an example. A good analogy would be to look at a wood baseball bat. You'd have trouble cutting it even with an axe while it's lying on the ground, let alone someone wielding it, swining it around and in arms that will flex upon impact. That said, I don't know if I would completely discourage the tactic of hitting your opponents spear. Not with the goal of breaking the spear of course, but in order to break his guard. If he has a tight grip on his spear at any one point and you strike it with sufficient force, you could force him off balance. If his grip is too loose, then you might manage to disarm him. Hitting his spear to get the spear tip out of the way while closing the distance would also be beneficial to you since he'll have trouble employing the spear if you're basically in his face and the speartip is far behind you.

  1463. I don't understand why people end up hating army service so much. Sure work is hard. But at the same time, the army relieves you of the many responsibilities you have as a civilian. Civilians have to rely purely on their own wits to make ends meet. Paying the bills and putting food on their table. In the army, food will be served by default. Your lodgings will be spartan, but you won't have to worry about paying bills for it. You will have a roof over your head, food on your table, and you will be provided, by the taxpayers, with the tools relevant to your trade. All you really have to worry about is paying attention "during class" and strive to excel in your profession. Everything else is covered by Onkel Sam. In my perspective, civilian life is much harder. I would love to just "join up" and forget all civilian responsibilites. But I have obligations to my family that prevents me from enlisting in the military.

These are the kind of Nato NPC's I've had to deal with for the last couple of days, and not even to show my own support of Putin but ONLY to illustrate that neither Nato nor Ukraine are "innocent lambs" in this conflict, and what Ukraine is facing now is something that the Nato funded neo-nazi puppets brought down on the country by themselves.

  1484.  @peterfireflylund  You make a mistake in assuming that just because a lot of exposure is taking place it equates to having accurate information. But nothing could be further from the truth. For starters, the Ukrainians and the Russians are basically using the same design of tanks, apc's, helicopters and even jets. So if you see a wrecked Soviet looking tank and somebody slaps on a text saying "Russian tank destroyed", you have no way of knowing if it's actually Russian or not. In fact, not even markings are helpful, since it's very easy for someone to just spraypaint a "Z" onto the wrecked hull of the tank and claim it belongs to the Russians, while it might just as well be a wrecked Ukrainian tank. Unless you are well versed in being able to spot the later upgrades that Russia have installed on their tanks, that the Ukrainians do not have, you won't be able to separate truth from fiction. And make no mistake, both Russia and Ukraine have a vested interest in spreading a narrative that their respective side is winning, and both employ psyops units as we speak. So you can't just run around and assume that what you see in social media and news reports as being accurate information. People believed in all of that "Ghost of Kyiv" and "Last stand at Snake Island" bullcrap too. But it all got debunked in the end. And the footage from the first was from a freaking video game. That's how fast lies and fiction spread through social media. So like I said: more exposure =/= accurate information.

  1487. Yes, the orders came from higher up. Therefore the individual soldiers are not to blame. They did what they were told, and therefore their actions are completely justified. The responsibility lies with their commanding officers, and if these officers had their orders from the leading politicians then it is the politicians responsibility. Soldiers do not declare war. Politicians do. Soldiers are just there to supply the violence. It's not their duty nor right to determine where, why or how much violence is used. So yes, EVEN during the holocaust, the soldiers actions were completely justified. The only instance where soldiers are individually responsible is where they take actions upon themselves or disregard standing orders and act completely on their own accord. And yes the concept of warcrime is completely fucking ridiculous. Wars are not societies or "games" which you can hope to enforce "rules" or "laws". The state of war is by definition a state where two or more nations have completely abandoned rule of law with the goal of getting their enemies to surrender. Also germany and german soldiers were not sentenced for "warcrimes" during the post-war trials, they were sentenced excessively harshly for LOSING the war. The Nürnberg-trials were nothing but kangaroo-courts with the sole intent of adding insult to injury after the germans had lost. German soldiers didn't do anything more severe or terrible than their enemies did. Yet German soldiers got sentenced with harsh punishments by the victors, while the equally reprehensible and murderous soldiers of the victors got celebrated as "war heroes".

It seems that the japanese have a different view of the samurai clans in that they operated more like a mafia, whereas the "noble" aspects of the samurai seem to be more of a western artifact.

So that's why i'm curious if the samurai had some "heroic" and noble aspects to Bushido, centeref around being protectors of the peasant class or not.

I'm not american, but I still feel disgusted by the way american politicians treat U.S citizens and I have every sympathy for those who try to resist it. The same goes for the British, the French, The Swedes, The Spanish and everyone else. We deserve better than regressive left wing politics, enforced multiculture and rampabt mass immigration. Our societies were built for the sake of OUR benefit after all. Not for a bunch of political and business magnates in ivory towers, horny for ideas of social engineering and utopianism.

  1495. Isn't the symbol older than Imperial Japan of WWII though? Is it really right to let war criminals and evil (but temporary and defeated) governments to forever tarnish and corrupt old symbols? I think it's more important to try to convert the meaning behind misappropriated symbols than banning them. The act itself would by symbolic of change and creating a better future. Banning things only has the symbolic meaning of people trying to forget or hide their mistakes.

  1519. A pin seems like a very unreliable method for a detonator since it can be bent. If I were to design it, I would've made the nose of the torpedo out of a sphere sticking out from a hole in the front that is large enough to get the sphere to stick out, but small enough for the sphere to fallout. Basically it would be like a ball point pen. Then the sphere would rest in front of several pins positioned at different angles behind the sphere. So when the sphere is pushed back hard enough, it will push in at least one of the pins and make the torpedo explode. And it wouldn't matter much which angle the sphere is pushed back, because even if the angle of impact isn't 90 degrees the sphere would be pushed back enough in a particular direction to depress at least one pin.

It would be nice to meet one and having a steady relationship someday (and that's coming from a notorious bachelor, more comfortable on his own most of the time). I would like to make a request that women like yourselves be more pro-active in shaping your female friends into better women. I believe that the rise of feminism can be attributed a lot to archetypical female behaviour in groups. You're not very "confrontational" amongst yourselves to be honest. Women friend groups are usually unconditionally supportive towards oneanother. If your fat friend is lamenting the fact that she's fat, female friends usually just tell her "Oh no! Darling, you're beautiful just the way you are." to console and comfort her. Feminism, like obesity became accepted and mainstream among women in this fashion. To be blunt, you need to bully and exert peer pressure over women exhibiting feminist behaviour and ideas. You've let feminists become the norm, and that in turn is hurting your rational self-interests because these entitled feminists are now trying to re-shape white men into something that you will never feel attracted to. If you want a wide variety of options in your dating men, then you need to start shaming women in your own social circles who advocate turning men into unattractive soyboys.

  1525. I don't know about Japanese prisons, but in some prisons, the old fogey inmates tend to be left alone. Maybe it's because of respect. Maybe it's because an old guy isn't seen as a threat by the other inmates, or maybe it's simply because you're not going to raise your status in prison by beating up or shanking a senior citizen. The old inmates who get attacked usually only get that treatment because they're senior officers in organized crime and are still at the job in prison, or if they've done something to kids or women. But a successful 74 year old cat burglar would most likely be left alone in a lot of institutions. His street cred is about as legit as it could possibly get.

Arguing in favor for the protection of children from trans-hysteria and child grooming is a valid point. But freaking video games? Come on... I think it's pretty fair to say that us rightwing gamers did have some of our views positively shaped by the games we played. Like the masculine hero protagonists with big guns and swords who saved the world from evildoers. Sure, what appealed to us initially was the action and violence, since that stuff do tend to be an effective hook for young boys at that age. But at the same time they also taught a lot of good lessons about self-reliance, assertiveness and genuine heroism in a lot of cases.

Like, how could you introduce anime to a friend with a straight face, who knows little about anime going into it, and one of the characters is supposed to be an adult woman with huge boobs, but she sounds like she's speaking like a 4-year old kid throughout? As someone familiar with Japanese animation, it's different because you know about the tropes and can casually dismiss the annoying ones in order to focus on the good parts of the show. But for someone who doesn't know much about anime it's going to be very off-putting to say the least.

  1596. Seems more like he made a solid argument against immigration rather than against capitalism. It is a fact that ALL immigration leads to a situation where native workers have to compete much more in the job market than they would have if no immigration was allowed. If the illegal immigrant accepts working for a smaller wage for whatwever reason (desperation, an excuse to stay in the country etc ) then it will inevitably lead to wage dumping for ALL workers.

  1602. That woman is wrong about biology. Men and women have different reproductive strategies. Men produce millions of sperm cells every day, women do not produce millions of eggs but a limited number throughout their lifetime. Pregnancy is also a vulnerable state for women. So the female reproductive strategy is concerned with careful sexual selection and trying to make sure that a father sticks around and supports her during pregnancy. A man on the other hand could reproduce very effectively by sleeping around with as many women as possible, while not investing himself or his resources with any of the offspring.

  1604. I thought of another disadvantage to armets. When the design is made to be as close- and form fitting as possible, the protection against concussive force will probably be decreased. Compare it to a larger helmet that is suspended from the top of your head with more air between the inside of the helmet and your skull, if you get struck on the head the weight of the helmet will absorb a lot of the concussive energy. It might make your helmet move and shift in an uncomfortable way, but it beats getting a fractured skull. With this in mind, I'd feel more safe wearing a frogmouth if going up against an opponent armed with a reinforces club or mace, but less so if wearing an armet.

  1605. Bo's'n Bruce: Can't say I think the military is full or contradictions. And the irrational behaviour that you point out is hardly the norm within the armed forces. They wouldn't be able to achieve their results or function effectively if they were all clowns. The contradictions rather stem from the culture shock between what men in the armed forces were taught and brought up with in civilian society and how those values completely contrast with the necessary values needed in war for soldiers to function. In civil society, men were brought up with very "soft" values. Be nice to other people. Hurting other people is wrong. Killing is absolutely verboten. In the military they have to have those values beaten out of them and be repurposed and taught that being "nice" is not good. You need to demand that your peers perform and punish them if they are found wanting, and that killing is right when you're killing the enemy. More ancient societies didn't have the same problems because they usually contained a warrior class and warfare and skirmishes between different societies was more commonplace. Being a competent fighter and a known slayer of enemies didn't earn you scorn or social stigma, it earned you praise and celebration. I think it probably helped people of that time to maintain a more balanced view between civilian life and military life. Especially among the rank and file (like with vikings for example where many men who wnt out to raid in other countries had completely civilian jobs at home, unless they were exceptionally competent raiders who could sustain their livelyhoods on raiding alone). But in modern times, soldiers are basically forced to hold two completely opposite ideals in their heads at the same time. So it undoubtedly will have some strange and unpredictable effects on their minds.

My point being that if the average rise in IQ of one race is X, and the average rise in IQ is also X, then isn't the difference persistent? It would be interesting if the rise in average IQ of one race is Y while the rise in average IQ is X in another race. This would logically signify actual change where one race is increasing or decreasing in average IQ in relation to another.

CLEARLY Danish is not the oldest language of them all, since both Norway and Sweden still have regional dialects and words. If anything, Danish is the youngest language of them all. That said, it's kind of silly to compare age since way back when, Danes, Swedes and Norwegians practically all spoke the same language (but with a huge variety of regional dialects) as most Old Norse people's did. Our "oldest" language is probably Icelandic since it's the closest to the original Old Norse tounge out of all the scandinavian languages.

  1614. wood1155: It's sad how deplorable the treatment of POW's was in Germany as well as the soviet union in WW2, compared to WW1 when the Hague Conventions had recently been signed and ratified by most of the countries involved (except for the Ottoman Empire). Soldiers of different nations might be enemies on the battlefield. But that doesn't mean you have to mistreat or be disrespectful towards captured enemy soldiers doing their duty. There's some great examples of professional courtesy between enemy combatants in WW1. Of course being a POW will never be a fun experience, but the rampant sadism and purposeful mistreatment of POW's in WW2 wasn't as prevalent in WW1. Even though it may sound strange to some people to treat a captured enemy with decency, it does make a lot of sense. For all they might be, they still have a lot in common with you as an individual soldier, and you've got to respect a person putting their own life on the line in service to their country, even if they might be your enemy.

  1617. But in real life, you can't win a melee fight with skill alone. Your physical constitution, musclepower, stamina and quickness of reflexes play a huge part in it as well. For example: you can be the MMA global world champion and be as skilled as they come. But if you're in an accident and end up in a coma for a few years and your muscles atrophy in the process, then you're not going to beat a fighter slightly less skilled than you but with his physical constitution intact. Also, the training of fighting itself is not necessarily optimal excercise for your body. Sure, training HEMA you will probably improve your muscles (unless you get seriously hurt and bedridden), but your striking power would be a lot higher if you complemented HEMA training with weight lifting. So, there's nothing wrong at all with stats AND player skill affecting combat.

  1623. I could simplify a reply for this muppet: Children are too young to handle the nuances and complexity of race and slavery in a similar way that they are too young to handle the topic of sex. Therefore it's better to not teach white kids or black kids about it, since the less they know about the subject of race and it's troubled history, the more likely it is for kids of different races to get along and be able to be friendly towards one another. Being taught history about racism and slavery isn't something a kid can easily distance from. You require an adult mind to do that. Teaching it early is just more likely to breed resentment and distrust among kids of different races, so there's really no valid reason to pump CRT into the classrooms.

The domesticated cow has become a niche species, because it has been bred that way for thousands of years. The cow is about as adaptible in it's current state like the giant panda. No, in fact it's even weaker than the giant panda, since there are still a few giant pandas living in the wild, but as most people know they're strugglig due to being as over-specialized that they are. The cow is even more specialized than the panda as a result of human intervention. It doesn't stand a chance to adapt.
    6
  1627. Stitchowi: You are projecting human sentiments and ways of thought to cows, which doesn't work since cows don't posess the same level of higher intelligence as humans do. Cows aren't contemplating advanced concepts such as "freedom" or the meaning of freedom, simply because they don't have the capacity to do so. Your problem is that you are anthropomorphisizing animals and their behaviour, which gives you an inaccurate perception of how the animal mind works. Second, you do realize that over 5 billion species (possibly even more since not all species had bodies capable of leaving fossils for us to study) have gone extinct on this planet throughout it's history? Today roughly 14 million species are still alive. That's 4,76 billion species completely wiped out, because of their inability to adapt to surviving on earth. And most of these species were evolved towards survival, unlike cows who have been forever altered to a state where they are incapable of survival in the wilds, but these other 4,76 billion species simply didn't manage to survive anyway. That should give you some perspective and completely destroy your false notion that "all species simply adapts and survives" when they CLEARLY do not. Only the very best adapted species manage to survice in nature. The rest die out, completely. Mother nature is a very cruel bitch that way, and if you try to send cows in their current state into that situation then there's no if's or but's about it. They will go extinct in less than five to ten years.

  1631. Millennial Girl: The thing is this, "the majority" of Swedes didn't vote "for" a migrant crisis. The problem in Swedish politics was that pretty much ALL established parties in parliament had favourable views of mass immigration (or at the very least: didn't dare to present opposikg views to it, due to fear of losing support by being called racist). But the issue of immigration wasn't and has never been what parties chose as their main issues to go campaigning with. The parties were generally going to election speaking about things like jobs, tax cuts (or increased taxes), welfare, health care etc. These were the issues people primarily based their choices on when casting their vote. Then issue of immigration and a migrant crisis was sort of a slowly creeping issue. Only ONE party with hopes of getting into parliament campaigned with immigration as their primary issue, and that was the Sweden Democrats. But their PR naturally suffered immensly at the hands of extreme left wing slanderers throwing constant barrages of racist-accusations against them. The Sweden democrats also weren't helped by the fact that they were parliamentary noobs back then (they had little experience of parliament, and were seen by most as unproven and insecure for political office), and of course that in it's early days the party mostly comprised of skinheads and neo-nazis which caused a lot of trouble and controversy in Sweden during the 80's and the 90's (the party isn't a neo-nazi party anymore though, since Jimmie Åkesson and the management have done a lot to purge the party of right wing extremists and made the party more center right with a nationalistic and protectionistic policy). So, the Sweden Democrats had a rough start in mainstream politics, and they also had little in the way of a political program aside from being profiled in anti-immigration (kind or hard to earn the public trust when you have no idea of how to handle defense, healthcare, education, police, economy, jobs etc. and all the other issues that a ruling party is expected to handle). It's also a bit much to expect of average Swedes to just cast their votes at an entirely unproven and small party at such a stage, so you can't really blame all of them for it. BUT on the plus side, immigration has, over time, become one of the biggest issues in politics in Sweden. And since the other asshat, pro-immigration parties have had to change their stances on immigration (closint borders etc.) as well as acting extremely childish and disruptive in parliament when dealing with SD, and SD themselves becoming an established party in parliament, they are now seen as more experienced, and is the only political party with a growing support (whereas the others are all in decline). The Sweden Democrats are having a lot of "We told you so"-moments and puts the other parties to shame. It's just a matter of time before they'll be the dominant political faction and can begin to clean house in earnest.

He even flat out admitted that women are better suited to sports like long distance swimming than men, due to their biological make up for fuck sake! How is that "discouraging"? Because he admits that he doesn't find womens soccer to be as interesting to watch than mens soccer? If your reason for playing a sport is comoletely buily around how large your damn audience is, then you should probably rethink your priorities. Valid reasons for playing a sport are for exercise, because you think it's fun, because you want to be a team player and improve your game and abilities etc. If your reasons require "encouragement", attention and a large audience, then your reasons are invaldi and you should probably do something else.

  1634.  Dr Boom  No, lolicon is not pedophilia. Pedophilia require actual human children to be involved. Cartoon characters does not count. Drawing cartoons is a part of freedom pf expression, whether you like it or not. I never said it should be considered "normal". In fact it's highly unlikely it ever will be considered normal. But just because something is abnormal, it doesn't mean that it should be illegal. Lolicon is not sexualizing children, because no actual children are involved.

  1636. I'd argue that joking about the death of any real child is pretty reprehensible. It's not really the same as dead baby jokes, because with dead baby jokes, the baby in question is usually completely made up or hypothetical. But actually cracking jokes about a real dead child, it kinda stops being funny. Not purely because it's offensive, but more because the person doing it seems to try a bit too hard going for a shock factor. Nobody likes tryhards in general.

  1637. It doesn't matter. Still makes no sense why his norse fellows would refer to him as "Rollo" before they even met any other Europeans who could've latinized his name. Also, norse pagans did sacrifice human beings, whether you like it or not.

  1644.  @anoushkasood4383  Because the Democrats comitted election fraud, and everybody knows it. Still doesn't change the fact that Biden was is an actual racist at heart. While Trump isn't. But suddenly, racism is no longer an issue. Or rape accusations for that matter. Rememver when Kamala Harris said publicly that she believed the stories of Bidens sexual assault victims? Well suddenly, acting as a vice-president for a man you believe is a rapist is no longer a problem. So congratulations. You voted an actual rapist and racist into office. Proving to everyone what massive hypocrites you leftwingers are. You don't mind racism or rape, as long as it's YOUR racist/rapist in office, isn't that right? ;)

  1645. It's only natural to consider ones own culture to be superior. The issues begin when you try to impose your culture outside the confines of your own national borders when it becomes a problem. A true nationalist seeks to lead by example in the international setting. Not by force.

  1647.  @williaminnes6635  I'll admit that I don't know the specifics of the situation. So I argued against Connor's rhetoric at face value. Now I am all for reducing Islam in the western world. I am not a fan of multi-culturalism at all and I am not a fan of "religious freedom" either in the sense that anyone from anywhere should be allowed to practice any kind of backwards religious practices as they see fit. I think we have a right to dictate which religions are allowed in our homelands and which aren't. But it would be massively hypocritical of me to then go on and say that other countries should not exercise the same right as well. If India feels that christianity is exerting an encroachment on their culture and religion, they should be able to ban it outright if they want. India is not my homeland, so I have to respect the fact that my opinions have no jurisdiction over India. But I guess Connor, being a brit, just can't let go of the dead British Empire.

  1648. I just thought of something. Quake 3 Arena had one of the most diverse roster of playable characters before diversity hiring was even a thing. It had thin women, a fat woman, a fat robot woman, black guys, white guys, an eyeball running around on two arms, a skeleton, three different kinds of aliens, one of which being a cyborg alien, female soldier characters and a big booba scantily clad woman. And nobody had any complaints

  1653. "Foie Gras" is absolutely barbaric and should be outlawed. I'm not opposed to eating meat of any animal. But regardless of what type of meat you want to have, you should treat the animal with dignity, respect and ensure to grant the animal a painless death. The animal is dying for you to eat. It's the least a person can do to return the favor. Animal farming in my country is relatively good for the animals. When you drive along the roads in the summer you can see cows out in very large, fenced in, green fields just walking about eating grass or laying around basking in the sun. You can tell that they get good, decent lives of peace and tranquility before their time is up. A stark contrast to the vile factory farming practices and other unethical forms of animal farming, which should all be outlawed in my opinion. Can't really say I care if the meat would become more expensive if forcing all farmers to only have free range cattle. Nobody has a "right" to eat cheap meat, and if people are forced to pay a few extra dollars to ensure that cattle is being treated well, then I'll be happy to pay.

But if you are Celtic then you of all should know how quickly your norms and society can crumble when foreigners with ambitions of conquest shows up. Your people's are mostly at peace now, but it took several hundred years for that to happen.

  1663.  @sentinal2343  Which is just politically motivated lies from you, because you're a typical leftie blacktivist. The mechanisms of vitamin-D synthesis by solar rays coming in contact with skin are well researched and well understood by pretty much all biologists. And the fact remains that greater levels or melanin = less synthesis of Vitamin-D. Why the hell do you think humans who moved northern europe evolved pale skin to begin with, you brainlet? I'll give you a hint: our skin is not white because we don't go to the tannint salon often enough. The paleness of caucasians is a genetic trait that they are born with, and there is a cause for that trait. The cause is less direct sunlight during the winter months in the northern hemisphere. And so humans adapted. And it doesn't take many generations for humans to change skintone when being subjected to unfamiliar levels or solar radiation either. It's one of the very first adaptations that occur. You need to stop reading that "woke" litterature that your university propaganda center got you hooked on and study some biology.

But I think your audience is well aware of the state of the western world as it is. We need some good news and positive spins, or at the very least some alternatives and ways of moving forward in correcting this historical debacle. I'm not saying "try to release more good news". Good news alone does little to solve the problem. But focus some more on the people who present a different way like with this video. I think it'll galvanize a lot of people in a positive way. Thank you for your herculean efforts, and may your future be bright and prosperous.

  1667. Well, maybe some hospitals should elect not to admit covid 19 patients. Maybe they should be sent to hospitals exclusively dealing with the pandemic, so othrr hospitals can focus on regular healthcare. Admitting a mix of pandemic patients and regular will just ensure thst regular patients simply stay away for justified fears that they may get infected mixing with covid 19 cases. I don't care what "precautions" the medical workers take. I don't trust them. Most of them are government funded in some way, and government funded institutions always fuck up.

  1674. Chí Thiện Nguyễn: I can agree that it isn't a good idea to praise soldiers for missions they might've been involved with. Especially if the missions were about atrocities. That said, I think veterans deserve a measure of national gratitude for their service. The issue with soldiers is that for a soldier to function as a soldier, they can't be expected to make moral choices on their own. The task of a soldier is to follow orders. That's their job. Sometimes the orders a soldier recieves is evil. Sometimes the orders are good. But it is not a soldiers place to question or disregard orders from his superior officer or to dictate morality. If they did, then keeping a military functioning becomes an impossibility. And of course, sometimes soldiers do terrible things outside of what they were ordered to, and should be prosecuted for it through court martial, because if a soldier acts like that, then it is a warcrime. But with that being said: soldiers are almost universally put through some of the worst conditions imaginable. They are tasked with facing death and dismemberment in service of their country, and often they are tasked with doing things that violates their own moral principles. That's a service that no civilian is expected to live up to. So veterans DO deserve gratitude for their service, regardless of what they might have been ordered to do by their government.

But those days are long gone, so that's why you end up with a bunch of intellectually shallow academics.

  1680.  @AmandaHoranGoBookYourself  Look, humans are no different from animals. In the animal realm of mammals, the females decide which males get to breed. The males have to prove themselves worthy of mating in the eyes of the females. That's why a man who beds more women will always have a higher status than a woman who sleeps with a lot of men. The woman is expected to be choosy and careful about who she grants her limited amount of eggs to. Men however produce millions of sperm cells every day. It's just different and antagonistic sexual reproductive strategies that have existed in nature for millions of years and they never stopped applying today. Human ideology (like feminism or "sexual liberations") are not just going to upend million year old biology in just a few decades. Don't start a fight with genes, because it is a fight you will lose. And no, genes are not fair and never will be.

  1685. Well, i'm an atheist who is also big on ideas of virtue. My view of it is basically this (take it or leave it): I don't feel that I need a threat of purgatory in the afterlife to motivate me to live a virtuous life. Trying to be a moral and just person who does not shirk from self-sacrifice for a worthy cause helps make my life feel meaningful. That's just how I feel on an instinctual level. I know my life will end one day. And I'd rather face oblivion knowing that people would say good things about me and keep my memory alive as a good person, rather than being forgotten as yet another egocentric and self-indulgent douchebag, or worse: as an evil person who did nothing but cause others harm. Maybe you could see it as an art project. My life is the canvas, and I want to leave a nice picture on it behind me after i'm gone. I suspect Carl is of a similar mindset. To us who do not believe in Gods, our own legacies make up our personal faith. Doing your best to be a virtuous person is the only way to improve upon that legacy.

  1694.  @riftvallance2087 : Yes, but my point is that the distance between earth and Klendathu on that visual representation in the film puts them several lightyears apart. A lightyear is the distance light travels during the span of one earth year. Light travels pretty damn fast, so just a single lightyear is a gargantuan distance to say the least. And since the bugs aren't depicted as hurling asteroids at faster than light velocities (only using those "tanker bugs" to shoot bolts of plasma to knock asteroids out of orbit towards a trajectory in line with their target), the amount of time it would take for the asteroids to reach earth would be so long that the bugs would've had to propel them billions of years before humans even evolved on earth. If the bugs can see that far into the future, then chances are that humanity would be fucked anyway since the bugs would be able to anticipate every action that the humans could possibly make. Or the explanation is a lot simpler: the scriptwriters just don't understand physics and distances on the astronomical scale.

  1696. I think there's also a matter of cultural compatibility. Let's say that the immigrants weren't primarily from muslim or african countries. Let's say they were from Thailand or South Korea. How often do you hear of riots and gang crime among Thai or Korean ethnic groups in countries to which they've migrated? Are they always perfectly integrated with the host cultures? No. A lot of the times their communities can be a bit insular and they stick to their own. But do they go out of their way to cause trouble or supplant the local culture with their own? No, they are notoriously polite and agreeable with local culture and customs, even the parts which they do not understand or agree with on a personal level. I swear, if Europe had gotten mass migration from Thailand rather than the islamic world, nobody would've had anything to complain about.

  1697.  martin corderoy : Furthermore, the eroding of standards also waters down the definition of words to the point of becoming meaningless. "Racism" is being continually expanded by the regressive left into encompassing views and behaviours that are not only benign but also extremely far removed from what the original definition of racism. Personally I don't believe this self-righteos zeal benefit any oppressed minority groups. At one point in time, racism was a cause for concern and thorough debate. Nowadays, people just shrug and ignore accusations of racism, because they are so intensly proliferated that less people find a reason to care if someone is "racist" or not. There is only one logical result of this: more cases of ACTUAL racism will go unnoticed and unadressed.

You'd accept the gift, exchange some pleasantries and then not really "meet" again, except for if you cross paths in the hallway or the elevator where you say hello or good morning before going about your business.

Well they were going up against ancient Rome. But Spartacus and the slaves who joined his rebellion were all from many different countries and cultures. But due to suffering as slaves under the Roman yoke, they found some common ground. Mutually experienced hardships do that to people. Like fresh recruits in the military being forged into a cohesive and loyal group by going through the hardships that their drill instructors subject them all to, together.

  1710.  @LionofCaliban  You could only do those things if you were lucky. But they had week long exercises of fighting in NBC-situations. Which means: no one leaves the inside of the tank under any circumstances. They had this... "device" for taking a dump in, which basically looked like something you might see in a gynecologists office, that spread your butt cheeks so that you could take a crap inside of a bag. And you have to do this less than a meter away from the other members of the crew in the tank or the IFV that you were stationed in. That said, being in armored gave them quite a few luxuries which the infantry envied. For starters: the never even bothered pitching any tents when it was time to sleep. They just slept inside the tanks and the IFVs, which were heated on account of the engines, while the infantry froze their asses off out in the below zero temperatures during the winter. The vehicles also had water heaters so hot coffee and hot chocolate was available at an instant. XD

The prices are what they are because it's a hobby primarily for adults, not children. Also, nobody "thinks they're soldiers"... Well except for the very large portion of actual soldiers who enjoy the hobby. It's for fun and reenactment. If you can't afford it, then sucks to be you. But I don't see a reason why you would be bitching and complaining over the people who can and who are clearly having fun, while also getting some fucking excercise.

  1728. As an atheist, I wouldn't say I do not believe in universal perspectives. Rather, I think the most noble as well as entertaining goal is to try and find those universal perspectives through study. Of course I can't just accept some holy texts written by primitive ancestors as the final word in what the universal purpose is. But that doesn't mean I reject the notion that there might be one. To illustrate the differences between myself and the religious: the faithful look at the universe and see a roadmap. All is laid out in a clear path to follow. I look at the universe and see a puzzle box. Something interesting is hidden inside of it, and it's everyones mission to contribute towards unlocking it.

  1732. Omni Culture: That's true. In terms of productivity, "smart work" is a lot better than "hard work". Compare the following situations in unloading several sacks of concrete from a truck. Doing it manually is definitely HARD work because each individual sack weighs around 25 kilograms. But if the sacks were stacked on a loading pallet and you use a forklift instead, you're not doing very hard work at all, but you work much smarter and it takes a fraction of the time than doing it manually. The virtues of "hard work" is mostly obsolete and should quite frankly be discarded in favor of smart work in almost every industry. Because in the end it's usually both more productive and significantly cheaper.

I like to engage in debating, for the sake of sharpening my arguments and wit. And I think that's also what the Spartans wanted to foster in their young. Also unlike many people who abhor ad hominems, I get a lot of entertainment out of banter mixed in with the debate. When I get subjected to ad hominems it makes me smile and think "let's dance!" Again, something I imagine the Spartans got entertainment from as well.

  1746. How they could've made the playstation classic successful: add the option to log on to playstation store with it and download classic PS1 games of your choosing to it. Pre-load the console with a selection of games. But give the customer the opportunity to delete games which they don't like in exchange for currency for the playstation store, so they can replace the pre-loaded games which they don't want for classic games which they know and love. If Sony had done this, the console would've been a smash hit.

Russia has every natural resource imaginable by virtue of being the largest country on earth. They fear how the balance of economic power might shift if Russia is allowed to take contributions from foreign investors to exploit the massive acreages of virgin soil for mining, logging, getting oil and natural gas and so on. So they want to starve Russia of cashflow and keep Putin putting taxmoney into the military to guard borders. The U.S, Britain and France needs Russia to be kept as a third world country and it's population impoverished because they won't be able to maintain some important core monopolies otherwise.

  1759.  @klaudinegarcia8932  Sure, that's fair. It's not like everyone prefers to have a crush of theirs be completely invulnerable. Some vulnerability and inability is fine. Like, i'm not saying it's bad if the woman i'm dating can't open a jar and needs my help to do it. Men and women have natural biological differences which complement eachother as a couple. And it's always nice when you get to feel like you're being the one who's complementing your partner with something that they aren't as capable of doing themselves. It reaffirms the notion that you're bringing something to the table so to say, by virtue of being the opposite sex. But the childlike behaviour in the "kawaii" trope doesn't speak so much to adult male and female gender roles in the same regard. With childlike behaviour it brings up more paternal or maternal feelings instead. Which feels natural when you're dealing with a child. But strange and annoying when dealing with an adult who put on the mannerisms of a child.

And when you have 150 cops outside, simple mathematics would've been on their side. Some cops might've died storming the school, but they could've stopped the shooter from killing more kids. A couple of dead cops is a small price to pay if it means making sure some more kids would live. And yes i'm willing to put my own life on the line in such a situation too, despite not being a cop. If a kid lives because I died while taking out the shooter, then that's a fair trade. Simple as.

Especially not if it's mixed with SJW-nonsense and politically sanitized retconning.

  1766. I'd also like to add: don't choose your partner based on the reputation you think you'll get or what your family will say. Which might be a pertinent lesson to a Japanese guy. Family is important, yes. But you can't have your family, your friends, your co-workers or your boss running your whole life. You are the one who have to actually LIVE with your partner every day after all. So go for someone that makes you happy and interested. The wrong mindset is thinking "I like this gyaru, but what would my parents say if I introduced her to them?" It doesn't matter what your parents say. If they are good parents they will want you to be happy and they will try to support you, even if the girl you are with make them skeptical at first glance. If they are bad parents they might try to sabotage your relationship or forbid it. But if you want to really impress your father, you must show him that when you are an adult, you are your own man and you make your own decisions in life. And if the girl they disapprove of is the one who makes you happy, you stick by her regardless of what they say. Parents rarely stay mad forever, and if they see that you form a long lasting relationship with a gyaru, they will come around eventually. Trust your own instincts rather than relying on the first impressions and opinions of other people. It's your life, and you only get one.

  1772. I use a lot of essence of vinegar and soda for cleaning things at home, like soaking bedsheets in it before laundry, but also to deep clean counter tops, sinks, the procelain of the toilet and washbasin etc. In my experience it performs a lot better than many detergents. Essence of vinegar especially is really good at removing odors of any kind. Also, I some times use soda if I ever get stained teeth. Soda acts as an abrasive that can polish a tooth, but is softer than the tooth enamel so it's not likely to damage the tooth itself but only grinds away the stain. I was inspired to do it when I did some soda blasting to strip paint from an aluminium surface. Sand blasting wouldn't have worked because aluminium is too soft to withstand sandblasting and so the surface would have gotten pitted and ruined. But soda blasting strips the paint while leaving aluminium unharmed and it does the same with teeth (although you'd rub or brush it over teeth rather than sodablasting your mouth of course 😄)

Granted it's a difficult task since there isn't much in terms of written accounts, but I think it's worth exploring further than it seems to be right now.

  1779. I just love it when they integrate weapon maintenance tools into the individual parts of the weapon itself. Like that cleaning rod in the wire stock, or how some parts of other weapons are fashioned to work as screw drivers with the correct size for screws in the weapon. It's just brilliant, since most of the time all it takes is machining some extra notches or holes into the parts. So the added production costs are negligible, while adding a decent logistical benefit to the whole package.

If you believe that other races are inferior to yours, then you are a racist REGARDLESS of how much "power" you have. Stop spreading cultural marxist propaganda that has nothing to do with the truth.

  1791. ManilaJohn01: I disagree. Capturing and holding oil fields is a more simple task than capturing and holding an entire city. The germans were actually in the process of capturing them during Operation Edelweiß (so they had already arrived in the region, in opposite to your conclusion that the germans didn't have the strength to get there). But the effort had to be abandoned since the soviet Operation Little Saturn threatened to cut the german forces off from the rest of their forces. So we have here two situations of germans getting or risking getting cut off and surrounded: Stalingrad and the Caucasus. One of the objectives would've denied soviets of oil, which they desperately needed while also supplying the german war effort with much needed oil. The other objective would, at best, serve as a railway and transport hub. One was significantly easier to capture and hold (since the germans had already made an initial success in the region). The other was far too difficult to capture and hold, and also lead to the german forces getting surrounded and cut off. If the germans had instead allocated the resources and logistics that were sent to capture Stalingrad to fortify the Caucasus oil fields (both the fields themselves, and the supply routes in and out of the region) the germans would probably have been in a much more favorable position than they would have trying and failing to capture a city of much lesser strategic importance at that point in time compared to the oil fields.

  1795. On the topic of oral posture. When you look at craniums from the remains of people who lived during the middle ages, the teeth in their lower jaws and upper jaw align almost perfectly. Look at craniums of people today and you see a huge number of specimens with overbites (the teeth in the upper jaw runs over the teeth in the lower jaw). The reason behind this, as anthropologists have discovered, is the introduction of eating with a knife and fork and cutting food into small pieces that are manually inserted into the mouth. Medieval people didn't use that style of cutlery. They had spoons or ladles for soups and stews, and they would use a knife for cutting large portions of food. But the rest of the eating was done by hand, and by biting off morsels from breads, meats and vegetables. This way of eating food directly influenced the oral posture of these people. It's a very small detail that one wouldn't really think about but which has a big influence on the looks of your facial features.

  1797.  Allan Tidgwell  I don't recall Heinlein explaining the exact nature of the bugs technology (whether it was biological or engineered in nature). But I do remember that the bugs were depicted as having arms capable of manipulating their versions of firearms. And the novel also explains that they do build or create their own spaceships. So they're quite different from the Zerg/Tyranid/Xenomorph-like species depicted in the movie, physically speaking. Psychologically though they did match in the sense that bugs in the book didn't really care about how many of their own warriors or workers got killed, but simply acted the way the brain bugs telepathically instructed them to, with no fear or remorse. So in the book, the bug society is the really fascist society (all members of their society are dedicated fully to the cause of their own state with all other priorities being secondary). And ironically, the bugs in the movie are also about the only thing that's really fascist in the movie (even though Paul Verhoeven tried to make the Terran Federation seem like the fascists, but he failed in that regard, since his understanding of fascism is mostly superficial and based in visuals rather than academic)

  1798.  @ИванСнежков-з9й  No, the monitor does not display a wormhole animation. The monitor displays a gravitational anomaly or the presence of a strong gravitational field in the near vicinity of the ship. All bodies with mass exert gravity. Including asteroids. And seeing as how the asteroid dwarfed the size of the ship, it's safe to say that the asteroid had a lot of mass, and thus a relatively strong gravitational field which the ship sensors picked up on.

This was not in "east germany" to my knowledge (as in the side of germany controlled by the DDR and the Soviet Union). In fact, Hannover was in the zone if British occupation after world war 2. So these experiments took place in WESTERN germany, under the supervision of WESTERN authorities. Whether Kentler was a communist or not, I don't really know. But it's quite disingenous to pin this crime on the Soviets.

  1808. Libertarianism is incompatible with the concepts of duty, obligation ans honour. Libertatians only sit aroune bickering over their "choice" in every facet of their life. While every adult human being understands that for family, community and society to function, sometimes it is imperative that you accept obligation and duty, even if you didn't get to "choose" to do so. Like when a child is born, it comes with an unspoken obligation that the child grows up to pass along the family line. But a Libertarian is fine eith children growing up and CHOOSING to waste their lives on video gamesx porn or sexual preferences that makes procreation and childraising unlikely if not impossible. The libertarian will just sheepishly smile and say "Well, that's their choice".

    6
  1810. DynamicWorlds: Possibly. My point is that for ninja to do what they do invariably required a pragmatic mindset and methodology. Samurai code had arbitrary and artificial codes of conduct which they had to abide by in politics and war, which is why the need for ninja agents arose in the first place (to circumvent such norms and codes of conduct on behalf of their masters and get tangible results). Therefore I find it unlikely that tasks and specialities were relegated among ninja organisations based on gender alone. It's more likely that they were relegated based on skillsets and proficiency. For instance, if they happened to have a female at hand who beat the crap out of every male agent in the organisation, then it would be a waste of resources not to use her for operations were violence was required.

You've even hosted videos yourself or japanese sensei flat out acknowledging tha their modern day "martial arts" actually have most of their "martial" aspects taken out of it. It's turned into a formal way of preserving a cultural tradition. Meaning, it's not really much of a "martial art" anymore. In a real fight, there are no rules. In a dojo, there are several rules of how you are "allowed" to fight. The mindset and way of fighting you learn on the street is more practical in nature. I'm not saying people shouldn't practice formal martial arts. It's very good exercise and usually a very social activity, good at teaching manners and discipline. But it is in no way or form a way to produce the best fighters.

  1817. Another issue with long houses would've been due to the fact that it wasn't only humans living in them. Winters were harsh on everyone, so long houses also housed people's animals like pigs, goats, sheep, chickens and sometimes even horses and cows. Living this close to your animals in a cramped space undoubtedly lead to the spread of cross-species pathogens that sometimes made the human occupants sick.

  1820. Patrick Steinmark: Boston Dynamics themselves might not participate in military applications. But the thing is, the U.S military pretty much has the key to the patent office. If there are any technologies developed privately that they want, then they will get it. Paying for it is the first step. But if private companies are squeamish about military applications, then the U.S military is not above simply stealing the blueprints and putting their own engineers to derive their continued work from that. And it's not just from private, domestic companies they steal from either. One example that comes to mind would be the Carl Gustav m/45 submachine gun developed in Sweden. After Sweden embargoed weapon sales to the U.S in 1966 (Sweden didn't support the Vietnam war), the U.S government put Smith & Wesson to work on creating an almost exact duplicate which eventually took the form of the Smith & Wesson M76. But by the time it was finished the U.S navys interest in it had waned.

  1824. It's not a bad thing that office spaces are getting vacant on account of people working from home. Eventually the real estate owners will be forced to start converting these bloated office space buildings into housing apartments instead. Which will end up depressing the high living costs since there will be a big new influx of housing units on the housing market. When you think about it, it makes little sense to pay for giant, top dollar office spaces in cities when everyone has fiber connections and laptops. Office work in general bottles down to computer work. And you can pretty much compute wherever.

  1828.  @leichen8132  Us westerners back the free people of Taiwan because they deserve freedom of speech and sovreignty to choose their own path in life, regardless of whatever ambitions the authoritarian CCP has in mind for them. As a common man, I can't speak for what corporations or governments in the west may have as ulterior motives. But I do know that all of us who support Taiwanese independence do so because the Taiwanese deserve these basic human rights. EVERYONE does. Yet Mainland China is an opponent to human rights. They hate and fear people who express their views freely and will censor any and all opinions that criticize them. I have NOTHING to gain from expressing sympathies and support for the free people of Taiwan. But I do so anyway as a matter of principle. Likewise, the many oppressed and censored people in mainland China deserve these rights too. But the evil CCP stands in their way.

  1833. This video reminds me, but I seem to have forgotten the details. I think I once saw a replica of a WWII-era machinegun. Fairly certain it was an mg-34 or mg-42 but i'm not sure, where the wooden stock could actually rotated a quarter so the stock became horisontal rather than vertical. The reasoning behind it was to ease hip-firing since rather than bracing the vertical stock against your shoulder during shoulder firing, you could brace the machine gun against your bicep using the horisontal position instead. Does this invention sound familiar to anyone? I've really forgotten a lot of the details here so it would be nice to be reminded of what weapon it was. :)

  1836. I tried coining the term "pan-nationalism". The ideal of nationalism for your own country, combined with the respect and sympathy for other people desiring to also maintain their own unique nations and culture. I stand up for the right to hold both my own national identity, and also for the right of others to hold theirs. Nationalist projects of the past frequently lead to armed conflicts and wars of conquest. But the idea of the nation does not require you to violate the borders and sanctity of other nations. This is why I support Americans right to keep their own borders, even if i'm not american. This is why I support the British right to keep their own borders, even if i'm not British.

  1837.  @GeromeSmith-me9im  This is my personal take on it so I know it doesn't apply to everyone, but the way I see it, each title in the series has been about showcasing a particular historical period and "native" culture for the most part, with the protagonists mostly being ingrained into the local setting. So it wouldn't feel as natural or thematic with a white guy set in a period drama in Africa. Then there's the fact that Zulu warriors haven't been given a lot of exposure in gaming and so it would be more interesting to see it. We've had a decent amount of games featuring foreigner protagonists being action heroes in Africa as it is (even in Ubisoft's Far Cry 2), so it would be interesting to have a native protagonist with actual ties to the local culture and traditions. Again, that's just my sentiments.

  1838. While exceedingly difficult, it's not beyond the realm of possibility to catch a javelin in flight. Professional atheletes do catch much lighter and faster objects in sports all the time after all. The one thing where it becomes ridiculous is when films have people catching arrows in flight. Again, not "entirely" impossible, since they tested this myth on Mythbusters, the guy who managed to catch an arrow did multiple practice attempts before finally being able to catch one, and the arrows were launched from the same distance each and every time too.

  1843. Jim Dot Beep: Yes, they had a lot of superstition and ritual surrounding their swords. But that didn't stop them from using other weapons. The daisho (a katana and wakizashi carried together in your hakama or obi) was a symbol of the samurai class. It was worn basically to tell people "i'm a samurai, so you better not fuck with me". In other words: heavily tied to their identity and status in society. (like a king wearing a crown or gentlemen of the aristocracy wearing black top hats during the 1800's) BUT there is no historical evidence that samurai avoided using other weapons, nor that they felt some cultural, impractical need to only kill using their sword. Especially not during battlefield conditions when they more frequently used spears, bows and arrows. The katana, when carried on the battlefield was more like a "sidearm" and not a primary weapon. If the samurai got disarmed in battle for whatever reason, then sure he'd pull out his sword, but it was more due to an act of desperation (holy shit! I lost my spear! Better grab the next best thing and defend myself!) than intent to kill with the sword.

  1844. AKlover: Europe does not need migrant "workers" from Mexico or anywhere else. If a country has high unemployment, as most European countries do, importing migrant workers doesn't make sense. Unless you belong to the small elite who only wish to reduce salaries and worsen the terms for employment for others that is. Fix involuntary unemployment first. When there are no natives going without jobs and there are still vacancies, we can start thinning of accepting foreigners for those jobs. But before then, not a single soul should be let in.

  1847. Lyanna: Fighting in mordern warfare actually relies even more on physical strength than warfare during ancient times did. Part of fighting as infantry in modern warfare entails carrying a lot more equipment than ancient romans had to carry. Roman legions were accompanied by logistic trains of wagons carrying all the camping equipment they needed. Something that modern infantry can't always rely on as they need to carry their personal survival equipment, food, water, ammunition, communications equipment, tools, hostile weather gear, sleeping equipment etc.

  1853. And as to Stalin and General Mao being "atheist". Let's get something straight: they didn't kill anyone "in the name of atheism". They killed in the name of communism. While communism may include elements of atheism, atheism includes no elements of communism whatsoever. Communism in itself was spread as a religion in every part of the world where it was active (the cult worship around it's leaders is a testament to that). And, their death tolls don't even come near the murders that Christianity, Islam and Judaism has achieved and still continue to achieve, while communism is largely dead.

  1857. No, we're not at that point yet. While it is true that technology has made physical body strength largely irrlevant when it comes to the actual fighting/killing, modern soldiers have been tasked with a lot of other roles that do require greater physical strength and endurance that the average woman (or man for that matter) is likely to possess. Any sex can pull a trigger of a rifle or press a button to activate a missile launch sequence. But marching through hostile terrain wearing gear/equipment on your person that almost matches your own bodyweight (something ancient warriors rarely did, since they often employed carts and horses to do that, and prefered to fight on open battlefields rather than sneaking through rough terrain or employ camouflage) and also be expected to hoist an injured comrade (weighing just as much as you, with just as much gear strapped to his person as you) on your shoulders and run with him to safety... It quickly becomes apparent that men and women are far from equal in suitability for modern warfare. At least for infantry service. (women as pilots, drivers or serving aboard naval vessels etc. doesn't pose the same problems)

  1859. beautifuldancer4GOD: BLM is a movement. Being black is not. It's insane to hold a person responsible for the actions of some members of the same race, because being born a certain race is beyond the control of the individual. BUT when you join a movement, you are also partially responsible for what members of that movement say or do. You can't excuse yourself from the actions of a movement, by claiming individualism. The very definition of a movement entails giving up a part of your individualism to further a specific cause. So yes, all members of BLM ARE in fact the same, to the degree that all of them bears responsibility for what it's members do and say. There are two ways to distance yourself and the movement from the actions of the few. One is to denounce and eject those specific members. The other is leaving the movement and starting your own. When you stay in, you give your support to the racist black supremacists ans victimhood mongerers of the movement. They rely on your numbers, and you happily supply the numbers unconditionally amd without internal debate. That's why we hate BLM.

And the election before that they got 5,7 %. Out of all the parties in parliament, The Sweden Democrats is the party that grew in support the most in the last two elections, while all the other parties are losing support. The only similar party in the U.K would be UKIP. How does UKIP's support look like? Oh that's right, they still flounders around 2 % of the votes while most people in Britain still vote like idiots for tories and labour. So claiming that Sweden is "too far gone" when Sweden and it's people are the ones clearly changing between the two countries doesn't reflect the truth.

And the majority of people simply don't give a shit or get any impressed by your service. If you wanna be loved, popular and avoid traumatizing memories from active duty, then you should probably pursue a career as a musician or something. The army is for people who has a strong sense of duty to the state, likes guns as well as doing more physical work than theoretical work. Not if you want to collect popularity points.

Regardless of which socialist regime you go to, the labourers/workers/proles never enjoy increased rights or freedoms as opposed to the same class in capitalist societies. In fact they usually suffer under less rights and freedoms than their capitalist counterparts.

  1891. Not all snipers shoot at the center of mass. In some sniper schools they are taught to shoot at the mouth if possible (but it requires clear visibility of your target). The reason being that if you hit your target in the mouth, the bullet will sever the upper portions of the spinal column, killing the target outright with no possibility for the target to cry out or have muscle spasms that fires a weapon that they maybe holding. It was a long time ago when I read about the subject, but if I remember correctly, police snipers frequently employ this method especially during hostage situations when a suspect might be holding hostages at gunpoint. If you hit them center of mass, they might still be able to shoot their hostage, but when the spinal column is severed it actively prevents the brain from sending that neural signal to the persons finger to be able to squeeze a trigger.

It's like saying that a man who had his money stolen from someone should be shamed for having falling victim to thievery. It makes no sense, regardless of what perspective a person might have.

If you want accuracy in a firearm, you don't want the parts of it wobbling around due to recoil, but that was the case with this gun as well as the AK-47. They also wobble and rattle like crazy when fired on full auto in slow mo videos. However with later versions of the AK, manufacturing methods got improved and overall precision and tolerance levels were as well, so you don't see modern AK's wobble and rattle much even in slow mo videos.

A big issue with farming in a lot of countries is idiotic government regulations and big companies hogging special rights to be the only ones eligible to do certain parts of meat and dairy production. For example, over here, farmers can't even slaughter their own cattle. Regulations demans you need a bunch of permits and facilities that only big company slaughterhouses can afford. Meaning the farmers cattle has to be crammed onto trucks and transported long distances and then be mixed up with other herds of cattle, causing needless distress and suffering before they get slaughtered. A better way would be if the farmers could just pick off their own cattle at the farm, perhaps in their own pastures where they're calm and won't see or hear a speeding bullet coming their way.

  1909.  @dathip : There is no fallacy in appealing to hypocrisy. You can't preach to others, when you're guilty or continually committing the same crimes. It just shows you don't really believe in what you preach, and that you're most likely just trying to decieve the opposing party. "One rule for thee and another for me" is also a logical fallacy

  1910. Yes, it was the Mayans fault they got conquered by the Spanish. For starters: The Mayans should've fought better. Second: the Mayans should've travelled the seas more, coming into contact with other cultures, refining their weapons technology through trade as well as improving their immune systems a bit. The Mayans were too insular, and that was their downfall. Similar to how the Chinese got beaten by Europeans during the Opium Wars. Despite the fact that at one point in time, China had seafaring vessels that made the European navy vessels look like primitive bark boats in comparison, but the Chinese were just too "content" with their culture and deemed exploration and seafaring to be an unimportant concern. China also invented the very gunpowder and cannons which the Europeans imported and further refined to levels that outmatched any firearms or cannons that the Chinese had in their arsenal. The lesson to learn here is: Never, EVER entertain the notion that your own civilization is "the greatest" and see it as an excuse to stop exploring and developing it further. Always strive towards preparation for the unseen enemy with a bigger stick than yours.

  1914. Laeot: You fucking idiot. American mainstream media is the most apologetic towards minorities. American MSM is what spreads ideas about "white privilige" and "patriarchy" and similar bullshit. American MSM is also what's trying it's best to hide the race of criminals while reporting on crime. The problem is, even they can't escape the fact that non-white people are severely over-represented in crime statistics in the U.S. It's not "racist" to report a news story about crime just because the perpetrator happens to be black, you imbecille.

  1915.  @TheSanityX  Completely false. It's your censorship that is causing their ideas go spread. Also, I can't say I''ve ever seen any of Richards critics argue with his ideas "in good faith" either. They're all clearly just out to get a "gotcha!" in against the "alt-right nazi". Often they fail too, making Richards arguments more compelling to the casual viewer. Furthermore, an ethnostate doesn't have to entail removing minorities by force at all. Many of the white nationalist thinkers have proposed other solutions like offering financial incentives to get the minorities to leave in their own accord.

If they want to watch a movie about lesbians and transpeople, then why not seek out films that were made to deal with the subject? There's no narrative utility in arbitrarily shoehorning those topics into films about entirely different stories and topics altogether.

  1918. Hiroko TV: Japanglish sounds bit funny sometimes I have to admit. But I wouldn't judge someone because they have a hard time pronouncing english. Especially since I know that it's not their native language, the english classes could use some improvement and the fact that natural "L" doesn't exist in japanese to begin with will of course make it a lot harder to for japanese people to pronounce unless they get extra ordinary amounts of practice. Besides, I'd probably sound like an idiot if I spoke japanese. I think I can pronounce it, but my grammar knowledge is next to non-existent. And then there's the fact that I can't really read japanese characters without looking at a cheat sheet. So as far as i'm concerned, the japanese have an advantage over me in lingual knowledge.

  1924. Well you can disagree all you like but the fact remains: a soldier or an army will not be able to function if they were run your way, where the individual soldier is being forced to make "Moral decisions" during wartime and choosing to disregard some orders because they don't fit with his own moral conviction or conscience. That is why states justifiably liberate individual soldiers from responsibility of their victims deaths. Soldiers are state sanctioned killers. When a soldier enlist, the state assumes his individual responsibility of any ordered murders he commit in the line of duty, in exchange for the soldiers obedience.

  1932.  @XtremeConditions  There is no "tolerance paradox" though. It's just a made up concept used to justify taking away people's freedom to express themselves in a way of their own choosing. In the truly free society, you can express yourself however you feel like while also having your property rights and employment rights protected under the law. And yes, this even extends to so called "incitement to violence". Because at the end of the day, incitement is harmless. It's mere words and nothing else. Words never harmed anyone. Actions do. And if a group of people proceed to do violence based on what the instigator merely SAY, then those people are solely responsible for their actions, and the full might of the law should come down on them like a hammer on an anvil. Nobody is entitled to excuse their actions by saying "Well this person on a soapbox told me to go out and harm minority x". You had the choice when you heard the guy on the soapbox. You chose to just believe him at face value. You chose to do what he told you, even though you knew it was in direct violation of the law and also a violation of the rights of the people you victimized. The idiot on the soapbox is just a ranting idiot. Nobody is obliged or dutybound to listen to him. Therefore it is completely ludicrous to act as if the idiot on the soapbox have committed a "crime" for merely having words come out of their mouths. It's a nothingburger. Hot air with zero capacity to harm anyone. And it's about damn time society grows up and realize this and stop bickering over "fighting words" or "intolerant speech" or "hate speech". Legalize them all, I say. But make damn sure you send in heavily armed police ready to give people a real beating with nightsticks at the very moment anyone steps over the line from merely using words and into illegal action.

  1936.  @CAMSLAYER13  You're wrong. Sexual hormones does not create a sexual compulsion, they cause sexual arousal. Arousal and compulsion are not the same thing, because they operate on completely different principles. Arousal and desire operate on the principle that you will experience a hormonal reward for doing something (it feels good). Compulsions on the other hand operate primarily on the principle of punishment (you feel pain or discomfort) if you don't engage in certain behaviours. You don't breathe because it "feels good". You breathe becuse if you tried to stop breathing, it would be uncomfortable and even painful the more depletdd your oxygen reserves get. Sexual intercourse however is not something you engage in because you feel pain or discomfort if you refrain from it. You engage in it because it feels good. And that's the ONLY reason. Your lizard brain doesn't comprehend that sexual intercourse will result in procreation. In fact most sex humans engage in does not result in pregnancies at all (only a tiny minority of sessions actually cause conception because the arousal and the sex has to match almost perfectly with the female's ovulation or no conception will take place).

  1948. Absolutely true. When you're still a kid in school, being forced to learn a new language just feel like a chore. It's only when you grow up that you realize what a useful skill it is to have. And also how much easier it is to learn a new language when you're young. This has it's explanation in how human brains develop. As children we are the most receptive to picking up language skills as we will ever be in our lives. Just look at how babies go from not knowing any language at all to being able to speak to their parents at around age 2 or 3. It's amazingly fast compared to how long it takes for a normal adult to become fluent in a new language. And the cool part is that this ability to learn doesn't even get "overloaded" by learning several languages at once. So in a way, our schooling systems are kind of poorly designed in relation to how our brains work. If we had schools that utilized our brain development, then first grade to third grade would barely have any mathematics at all (because our brains aren't developed enough to understand it at that age anyway) and would instead be almost exclusively dedicated to learning not one language, but several languages at once.

  1954. It's a good topic to bring up. There's a lot of mysticism and bullshit to east asian martial arts, blended with practical knowledge. So it's important to try and untangle one from the other. A very glaring example comes to mind from China with the MMA fighter Xu Xaodong and his conflict with the national "elders" of Wushu. A conflict where a practical fighter called out the martial arts mystics and traditionalists on their bullshit and even challenged several of them to fights, and beat the snot out of them. Only to face sanctions and censorship by the Chinese government for making these martial arts bullshitters and self proclaimed "custodians" of Chinese martial arts look incompetent

  1955. The Russians will have problems with precise surgical strikes as far as artillery goes, because s big part of their artillery relies on rocket artillery as opposed to advanced howitzers.

So there's going to be a lot of collateral damage.

And they don't really handle foreign, military threats but deal with domestic crime like tax fraud, political corruption, drug trafficking and the like. They don't really have combat training either aside from regular pistol shooting courses. The CIA is a military intelligence gathering organisation. They're the ones who send out spies, agents and even special forces to conduct sabotage, ferment rebellions and even assassinations some times.

  1965. There are no rights devoid of compulsion. That's just a fantasy of liberalism. Even the rights that might not by themselves require anyones labour to make happen, you'll still need to rely on labour from someone else in protecting them. Like the right to freedom of speech for example. Doesn't cost anyone anything for you to speak. BUT if someone tramples on your right to freedom of speech, who's going to defend it from their abuse? You, the individual? Might work if you only have one or two antagonists to go up against. But what if it's an entire gang or an army? Are you still going to be able to defend your right to freedom of speech on your own? No, you'll probably die in the attempt. You need help. From policemen, soldiers, courts and government. They are compelled to do their duty in protecting that basic right, so that you can enjoy it. If all of them decide that they're not going to be compelled to help protect your right to freedom of speech, then you, de facto, have no right to freedom of speech. So all rights, no matter how basic or cheap in terms of resources and labour are always derived from compulsion and duty.

  1972.  @Dhhtyu4566 : I would have to disagree. The evidence suggest that genes play the primary role, and diet and lifestyle are secondary in importance. Your telomeres at each end of your chromosomes are only so long. And they shorten with each cell division until they are too short and they can't enable cell division properly anymore, and once that starts with the majority of cells in your body, you will be afflicted by all manner of health problems and diseases that no diet or lifestyle will stop from killing you. There's also no evidence that suggest that telomere length can be influenced in any way by diet or lifestyle, giving further creedence to the idea that telomere length is determined primarily by genetics. Also, looking at Okinawa and it's high concentration of extraordinarily old people does suggest that genetics play a big part since Okinawa is a pretty small geographical location with a limited genepool, suggesting that some ancestors of the current day okinawans were blessed with genes that grant their owners significant longevity.

  1974. I disagree with Ted though. Since i'm interested in the survival of my species. Our long term survival necessitates technological development. Sure, it might FEEL nice and fulfilling on a personal level to return to monke, like living off the land and building our own primitive huts, growing our own food while shunning machinery and circuitry. But our dinosaur ancestors too lived primitive lives devoid of technology. And it worked out fine for awhile... Until the giant meteor struck and killed them off, save from a few very small and less majestic species. If we collectively decide to return to monke, then we're basically signing out species collective death warrant due to the next cosmic threat coming our way. The only way to avoid this fate is for some portions of our species to eventually leave earth and set up shop elsewhere, so as to not put all eggs in one basket. And we need technology to achieve that. The problem with modern society isn't the technology itself, but the irresponsible and immature applications of technology. We use it to an excessive degree to create various mundane creature comforts or for entertainment rather than more ambitious and useful purposes.

All you do is confirm that us anti-feminists are right and that women are less suited for certain jobs in general by the mere fact that you have to CHEAT in order to make women to seem like they are able to compete with men. When I see any woman in a "position of power", I hardly ever think that she got there by her own merit because of feminists like you. I immediately think that her position is unearned and that she's only there because of gender quotas and nothing else. So congtatulations, your support of this idiocy only make me and most of society MORE sexist than before.

If you oppose people's right to be insulting or offensive, then you also oppose free speech. It really is that simple. Because if you feel offended or insulted, it is always YOUR fault, not the speakers fault. YOU are the one who even listens to the speaker in the first place. YOU are the one who doesn't dismiss the speaker as being a liar or incorrect. YOU apply value and weight to the speakers words, not him/her. Therefore YOU are responsible for any feelings of offense that you might experience from hearing the speaker.

  1990. It reminds me of Mamoru Oshii's classic anime feature film Ghost in the Shell. Cyborg special forces units of the police trying to chase down a mysterious hacker. The hacker known only as "The Puppetmaster". His monicker is derived from the fact that he directly hacks into people's minds and then alter their memories and perception to think they're doing something else entirely, while in reality they are hacking into government networks for him as a way to cover his own tracks. The protagonists manage to arrest and pick up one of his victims. For the last several years he thinks that he's been married to a woman and they had a child together, only for the woman to suddenly file for a divorce. He thinks he's been hacking into his ex-wifes email and bank accounts in order to try and locate where his wife and child has gone to. But in reality for the last several years during his "marriage" and separation, he's actually been living alone in a bachelors apartment. His entire history with his wife and child was a simulated memory implanted into his brain remotely, and the hacking he's been doing has in reality been about hacking into government networks to extract information for The Puppetmaster. Suffice to say that he breaks down during the interrogation when the truth is exposed to him and the illusion breaks. Imagine going through something like that.

  1993. Well, it's your channel and your decision or course. But I want to put it out there that I found it refreshing with the focus on military equipment, tactics, strategies and doctrines without the war crimes. This because, the war crimes are always shoehorned in there somewhere in all the other sources. For a novice with hardly any knowledge at all about WWII, it would be a necessary subject. But for one who has been schooled in the war crimes already and is mostly interested in the military matters, it always becomes a "Here we go again..." moment when the war crimes are brought up. I don't hold this view to be dismissive. I do it because the war crimes have been adressed so much already that I start to feel like i'm becoming desensitized to them. And I don't want that to happen.

  1995.  @xcr75  The Russians are concerned about costs though. Their reasoning is rather that they can't afford to let Ukraine become a member of Nato, because the security risk it poses is too great for them to ignore. They're also counting on that whatever economic sanctions the west slaps Russia with will be nullified by trade deals with China, India and other non-western countries. Whether things will play out that the Kremlin hopes remains to be seen. Also, as for the Scandinavian countries and Finland, they'd pose a very difficult nut for Russia to crack if they entertained the idea of an invasion. Ukraine has a respectable amount of manpower, but the weaponry is not on par with the Scandinavian and Finnish arsenals. A big reason why Ukraine has been able to mount such a formidable resistance is owed in large part due to the fact that western countries are sending in modern weaponry to sabotage the Russian advance. I know Sweden is one of the countries that have contributed with anti-tank weapons that has been used.

So a pirate could be a combat veteran marine or former navy officer with hundreds of victorious sword duels to his name... And a pirate could also be a cook, or rating with little to no combat history.

  2024.  @Jerryhayes2  No she didn't "control everything". She enjoyed authority in the household, but not much outside of it. The men had authority in private enterprise and as leaders of the communities they lived in. They basically shaped and governed their societies while married women shaped and governed households. And both men and women were mostly fine with this arrangement. The men didn't want to bother themselves with details of cooking, cleaning and managing house servants or slaves. They were content with being the breadwinners and bringing back earnings/loot from campaigns with the full knowledge that there would be hot meals and warm hearths waiting for them. The woman also had several benefits in this arrangement. As head of the household she could demand certain standards to be met, like level of income to the household and the quality of her husband. The husband would lose social status and respect if he didn't properly provide for his household.

  2035. A point about the cow milk drink. I don't think ancient romans did much in the way of pasteurization. I'm sure the farmers separated the cream from the milk to some degree, but otherwise drank it as is. If you've ever had raw cow's milk that's basically straight from the udder, with the cream just roughly skimmed away, you'll know that while it is way more nutritious, it's also a bit "course" in terms of taste and texture, and probably harder to digest. So a roman trying out a drink made from modern, pasteurized milk would probably be a bit surprised because pasteurized milk tends to be smoother, more even in flavor and if it's a low lactose variety, it's more agreeable with a lot of stomachs.

You can really tell with real life war axes and warhammers how they are made for the purpose of fighting. With warhammers for example, sometimes the heads are so small so as to resemble a regular carpenters hammer, with the only difference being that the hammer head is attached to a longer shaft. And that's all you really need to deal a lot of damage to an opponent. It shouldn't be the size of a sledgehammer designed for cracking rocks.

  2040.  @BusbyTreeSurgery  With some variation. There are countries where veterans get more appreciation compared to Britain. And this is why I'd discourage people to enlist and why I urge servicemen to revolt against governments that mistreat them. At the end of the day the country and the government relies on the armed forces for their safety. If the armed forces collectively just decide to refuse to work, the government is screwed. They depend on soldiers. Soldiers do not depend on them. Therefore soldiers should exploit this imbalance of power to make damn sure that the government doesn't try to fuck with them.

  2041.  @Reiman33  If following orders in not an excuse, then how can you expect anyone to willingly murder people on behalf of the state if he knows he might be next for the chopping block for carrying out his orders? Responsibility for warcrimes belongs AND SHOULD ALWAYS belong with the statesman who issues the orders. There is only one single exception and that is if soldiers go rogue and carry out atrocities without any orders to do so. But of there is an order and a chain of command, soldiers are and should remain blameless. They don't have a choice, especially not during a war. If you are enlisted when war breaks out, you either carry out your orders, or you'll be court-martialled for insubordination or even desertion. In some countries it's a crime punishable by death during times of war. It certainly was in Nazi Germany during the height of the war.

Tell me, why does the historically white character of Anne Boleyn have to be played by a black actress, when nobody would think of the idea to have Martin Luther King be portrayed by a white actor?

The government isn't always right. In fact most governments across the world are highly inefficient and rarely make decisions with the best interests of their people in mind.

  2055.  @101jir  The problem is that some laymen assume that just because a weapon system can be destroyed by another weapon system it somehow makes the former weapon system obsolete. Which is a silly notion. If you know a thing or two about warfare, you know that in order to judge the effectiveness of a weapon system you have to look at the costs and the means of deployment and movement of it. A cruiser can smite any tank using it's long range artillery weaponry. But how much does a tank cost compared to a cruiser? And where can the cruiser be deployed as opposed to where the tank can be deployed? These are the critical questions to ask.

In a better world African readers could enjoy western fantasy litterature from the likes of J.R.R Tolkien drawing inspiration from European folklore and legends, and European and American readers could enjoy fantasy litterature from Africa that draws upon African oral traditions and legends, along with movie adaptions from both.

  2061. I don't see the Ludovico technique as immoral. "Punishment" is only really useful on people where they know they've done something wrong and have regrets about it. For them, punishment is deserved and there's a slim chance of rehabilitation. But for people like Alex, rehabilitation is impossible in real life. Nor would it be moral to LET them rehabilitate and re-join society. It would go against justice to do so, since their victims definitely can't just "rehabilitate" from the trauma they've been put through by people like Alex. So in the real world I'd basically say that people like Alex should just be executed. They are irrevocably dangerous and the problem they pose can only be solved through permanent censure. The Ludovico technique at least offers a way where those individuals needn't be executed.

  2070.  @sigma9788  On the contrary, Gladiators didn't murder eachother. Most of the time it was about fighting but not to the death. Fatalities were an exception and not a norm, except for when Gladiatoral games were used as a means of execution of course. But i'm not really into capital punishment. But even so, you really can't think of anyone who would jump at the opportunity even if it was a duel to the death? I can think of several people that would. Many habitual brawlers and local thugs for example. And they really can't seem to live normal lives holding down normal jobs anyway, due to their behaviours and abject refusal of partaking civilly in mainstream society. So wouldn't it be better to give them an arena to duke it out in rather than having them vent their violent frustrations out on the streets or in bars and nightclubs where they end up hurting innocent and involuntary people?

  2072.  @Petq011  Slavery wasn't that profitable, truth be told. Depending of course on which era of slavery we're talking about. If we're refering to the slave trade in the U.S, the cost of purchase of a slave, and his upkeep was significantly higher compared to the cost of paying a comparable worker with a salary. If you owned slaves, then you had to get them to work for years and even decades before the investment actually started to pay itself off. That's a long time to spend ensuring that your slaves don't escape or die of disease in the meantime. A hired farmhand was dirt cheap by comparison, since you didn't have to pay for lodgings or food for hired labour. It was expected to provide them with minimum lodgings (like being allowed to sleep in your barn), but every other living expense was something the farmhand was expected to pay out of their own salary. A slave, by comparison, wasn't entitled to a salary. You had to pay for EVERYTHING involved in keeping them alive and productive (food, lodgings, doctor appointments etc.)

  2073.  @SvenDzahov  The term "toxic masculinity" is just unreasonably anti-macho, created by feminists to demean men. It's not toxic masculinity to "suck it up" even when you've faced hardships. For millenia, society has depended on men to ignore their individual pain and misery to get hard jobs done. And the fact that so many men made this sacrifice is an admirable trait, not "toxic". In this day and age people are lead to believe that the only thing that matters is one's own health and happiness, causing an extremely myopic perspective of what to do in life. Sometimes you just don't have the luxury to "sit down and talk about your PTSD". In some situations you have to have the strength to disregard it and push through, because someone else depends on your success.

What I like about it is how the film doesn't actively try to portray them as good or bad, but yet again showcases a more human perspective that makes you think and feel for the characters. You want to assume that they're evil due to their ideology, but after the film is over it's very difficult to maintain such a single minded perspective.

  2095. Yeah. But I don't excuse modern day writers for their lack of military experience. I mean, I never served, and I still know more about the day to day activities of the armed forces than every hipster hollywood writer out there. If you're gonna write a damn movie script about a particular subject matter, it helps doing some actual research into it on beforehand. Or at the very least finding a military consultant and have them read your draft and tell you if they think the dialogue and military character decisions make sense or not. Most servicemen would be happy to tell you what's what, EVEN FOR FREE in some cases, because they grow tired of having to cringe during every movie they watch of the massive inaccuracies whenever the military is depicted. But those egomaniacal Hollywood primadonna writers apparently think asking other people with actual knowledge for input is somehow "beneath them". Wouldn't hurt the story if they exhibited some fucking humility every once in awhile, you know?

  2096.  @lzxcandy : I'm wondering how much Disney really cares about the Chinese market, or how much the Chinese population wants the film to be further tailored to cater to their cultural history. After all, the animated version of Mulan was pretty popular in China despite being historically and culturally inaccurate. It wasn't exactly a box office bomb in Chinese theaters. Companies aren't always very concerned with every market in the world. This is especially noticeable in Japan for example, where video game developers outright ignore the american and european markets altogether. Nintendo is an especially glaring example since they stay afloat and turn a profit from the Japanese market alone (apparently the Japanese just can't get enough of yet another installment in the Super Mario series or the Zelda series). So it would be interesting to listen in on the boardroom meetings at Disney to see where their priorities lie.

  2097. It's awful knowing that soldiers were DRAFTED to fight in this utterly meaningless and unecessary war. If you sign up as a volunteer, then that's one thing. Although volunteers are lied to by governments too, which is a damn shame (a government should have their armed forces back, not betray them) But being FORCED to fight in such a shitshow of a war is beyond reprehensible. To all the draft dodgers out there: you did the right thing. If the enemy is at your countrys doorstep, then you should pick up a weapon and fight when your government calls on you. But when they try to ship you off to the other side of the earth to fight in some country that has no hope at all to threaten your homeland, then you should refuse and dodge the authorities trying to force you as much as you possibly can.

  2100. Insurgents, guerilla fighters, call them whatever you like, rely on support from a civilian population and civilian production. They can keep going as long as there are farmers plying their trade in the land. The farmers doesn't necessarily have to be friendly towards the insurgents, since the insurgents can always just take crops from farmers to help the insurgent war effort. I think a necessary aspect to combating insurgent threat is to compel farmers to relocated and either secure or destroy their farmland. Strategically speaking, there has to be a budget for compensating farmers for their losses in a campaign against insurgents. Either just by buying them out of their land, or at least guarantee that their property rights will be restored after the war is over. Insurgents rarely ever farm themselves. So even just getting farmers to leave their farms and not growing crops would damage the war effort for the insurgents.

  2101. While the Finns fought with impeccable bravery and skill, and certainly embarassed the Red Army during the Winter War, the fact remains that the Finns were a mere month or two from losing the war. Add to the fact that war is usually much harder for the invader than the defender, it stands to reason that Hitlers argument didn't have much merit to it.

  2102.  @akessel92train  Putin doesn't want or need more territory. He's already in charge of the biggest country in the world, based on surface area. With vast quantities of natural resources to exploit. The problem is that the U.S and the EU are worried about what would happen if Russia could be open to investment opportunities and turn into an industrial powerhouse. It would upset the current power hedgemony in the world where the U.S and the EU fancies themselves as top dogs on account of their wealth. That said, Putin is required to think geo-strategically, since letting Nato get too close and set up shop in neighbouring countries poses a significant danger to Russia. But he doesn't want this bickering with the Ukraine nor annex further territory. More territory = more borders to guard using an already thinly stretched military to do it. The costs outweigh the gains.
    5
  2103.  @akessel92train  That's assuming that your ultimate goal is to partake in global trade. There are a lot of rumours out of Russia that speaks of moving Russia towards becoming an independent self-supplier of coal, iron, wood, natural gas and so on and it makes sense for Putin's strategy. That said, keep in mind why the Crimean conflict started in the first place. Russia already had it's naval bases at Crimea. It was on Ukranian territory, but they had brokered a deal with the Ukranian government to keep those bases and ports after the Soviet union was dissolved. Then Ukraine went nuts and started talking about joining Nato and the EU. Would be impossible for Russia to allow Ukraine to simply hand over these naval ports to Nato forces, so Russia annexed Crimea and settled for it.

  2104. I wonder about the finite nature of gold. On the one hand you have geological estimates of how much gold exist on earth. But the market value of gold is determined by "extracted" gold, not by theoretical estimates. So when you invest in gold, aren't you basically betting on that no one on earth will strike a huge gold deposit? If they manage to mine more gold than expected then the value of gold would decrease wouldn't it?

  2105. Maybe writers should eat some humble pie and take some lessons from scientists. "Standing on the shoulders of giants" and all of that. If you're working on a franchise that is beloved by many already, you should feel priviliged to do so and treat the franchise and it's fans with respect. You didn't create the franchise after all. Someone else did. They did the heavy lifting. So your writing should not be about "following your own vision", it should be to try and emulate the vision of the original creator and expand upon it rather than taking away from it or replacing it.

  2108.  @andarted  And what's wrong with that? Just because someone else has more money than you, it doesn't prevent you from earning money yourself. People will always be unequal. Someone will always have more money, more intelligence, better looks, more athletic genes etc. than you do. And these perks will influence how difficult or easy you will have with doing or achieving certain things. That's not a "problem", nor is it exclusive to the "american economic system". It's a constant in all of life. Life is a game of poker. And you're dealt the hand you play with the day you're born. Some people will be gifted with winning hands. But it doesn't guarantee that they win the game (if you fail at bluffing with your winning hand, or you're too scared to call someone elses bluff, you walk away with nothing or very meagre winnings). Nor does a losing hand guarantee that you'll lose the game, because you might still be able to bluff your way to the pot. Stop being butthurt about the guy next to you drawing a strong set of cards, and play the ones you're dealt the best you can. It's nothing "unfair" about it.

  2109.  @andarted  Every player starts with the same amount of chips in competitions. Not in informal games. Because even if the amount of chips are equal. The personal wealth of the players is not. A top player can afford to lose a million dollar game without breaking a sweat. A player who just barely scraped by to pay the entrance fee might not. Yet the rules of the game does not favor the one or the other. Also what you call "fair" is completely arbitrary. There is no physical constant in the universe called "fairness". It's an invented concept by humans, and it's definition is about as varied as there are human individuals. Everybody's got their own idea of what "fair" means. There is no consensus, and thus the concept is meaningless in an intellectual debate.

The helmet and armour is just there as failsafes when you've really done goofed with your tactics and your shooting. Your weapon is your first line of defense. Not the armour.

  2132. Utilizing principles of strategic empathy here, it stands to reason that Russia doesn't "need" to exert total control over Ukraine. All they need is for Ukraine to not be run by a government that actively hates Russia and wish to ally itself with western powers in order to sabotage Russias security concerns. So what does the U.S "need" out of Ukraine? What justification does the U.S have for meddling in Ukraines elections? I'm hard pressed to figure out any reason that wouldn't be nefarious. Ukraine doesn't sit at the U.S border. Ukraine neither has the desire or the means to threaten american sovreignty in any military sense. Therefore, the only logical conclusion that I can find of why the U.S would feel the "need" to meddle in Ukraine and appoint it's own puppet government, is to be able to increase Nato's ability to strike at Russia at a short notice if Nato would want to.

Being an heir of an oppressive dictatorship and being born in the lap of luxury will have terrible effects on the mindset of a child, and it is unlikely to result in them growing up to become a responsible and rational human being. Kim Jong Un could very well start a nuclear war, due to his inherent instability and genuine belief in the personality cult surrounding the Kim family that he has been fed with since he was born.

Just because your brain is temporarily behaving in a chemically induced, abnornal manner, it doesn't prove that you are somehow "transported to a higher plane of existence" or some new age nonsense like that. People with various mental illnesses like paranoid schizophrenia and the like also exhibit various neural connections that normal people do not have, and naturally that results in auditory and visual hallucinations for them. But you don't run around believing that people confined to the mad house are some kind of "meditation gurus who saw beyond the dimensional veil of time and space" or some shit like that, do you? No, you dismiss them as simply being crazy. As in not right in the head, which is an objectively true assessment since their brain anatomy and chemistry DOES MEASURABLY DIFFER from normal/sane people. In principle, these illnesses are no different than the experiences had while under the influence of psychadelics, except for the fact that the intoxication period of psychadelics goes away after the drugs pass from your system, whereas the mental illness is permanent. It's all just a brain that is malfunctioning. There is nothing "spiritual" or otherworldly about it.

If it's really a majority who feel this way, then why don't we hear about it in public venues as much as we hear about the "gay pride" crap every year?

And your whole idiotic argument proves that you are in no way or form any morally superior to those who keep cows either. The cow doesn't care if it dies "in freedom by being torn apart by wolves and bears, or if it dies at the hands of a butcher. The end result is that they will die, and they will die in HUGE numbers compared to now, since humans have a vested interest in keeping the species alive and breeding rather than close to extinction.

But as an airsoftplayer myself, I wouldn't go near it. Because internally, there's no difference between this or an M40A3 or an L96. They all shoot the same plastic pellets, and with upgrades they'll get the same level or performance. So the Cheytac airsoft version is just mostly dead weight with no added performance whatsoever... Which is fine for some people, since they enjoy weighty guns just for the feel of it. I like airsoft-guns with a weight close to the real thing as well (I use real weapons on the range, so it just feels "wrong" if the gun is too light). But I wouldn't buy a cheytac, because that huge load of extra weight doesn"t give me any advantage or added performance, like a real Cheytac would.

Also, even if they had "no idea" of where atoms came from, not knowing where something came from doesn't prove that there must be a "creator" who deliberately "made" them. You don't ask "who turned on a giant fan?" when you notice the wind outside. No one "created" the wind. It's a random physical phenomenom that happens due to varying differences in pressure and temperature. If wind can form this way due to external forces like heat and pressure, then there's nothing saying that a universe can't form in the same manner, whether we know which natural forces are involved or not.

  2200. I guess you could say I keep a "roman" beard then (not a full beard, and I keep it neat and trimmed). Biggest reason being that I don't have very even beard growth (grows fasternand thicker around the lips and on the chin, but the individual strands of hair are spaced too far apart on the cheeks) so it just looks better with clean shaven cheeks and a trimmed goatee. I also wear it out of necessity since I had the misfortune of being born with very youthful features (I'm turning 30 this year, yet I still get asked to show an ID whenever I go to buy booze or go into a bar/pub/nightclub etc. if I walk out completely clean shaven) so the beard helps me look a little bit like my proper age. As to whether you should shave your beard or not: real men don't take grooming or dressing advice from others. Wear whatever you want to wear, but whatever you do just wear it with pride and confidence.

  2226. Actually, in scandinavian you do have the term "Vikingar" (in Swedish) which means "vikings" (refering to the norse who went on raids), but it is true that "Vikingar" do not denote an "ethnic" group, but is more like describing a bunch of people working in a certain profession, like saying "carpenters" or "masons". That said, very few people were "full time" vikings. Most vikings only used the raids to supplement their regular income or in times of dire need (bad crop seasons, harsh winters etc.) although a few did ply a trade as vikings full time, and usually ended up working as mercenaries in various parts of Europe. Anyhow, only a minority of norse men went on viking raids or could be called "vikings". And even fewer of the vikings earned a living as vikings full time.

I'm white and I'd be more excited about a documentary about black historical figures from ancient times. Because I don't think they get as much exposure as they deserve.

  2234. I care about possible negative foreign influence in Japan. While Japan has problems of it's own that needs to be a dressed, it has a very strong cultural society without much political extremism undermining the social fabric. But it seems that some Japanese people idealize the west, even though western societies are increasingly wracked with political extremism and polarization, creating societies of very low trust. There's a reason why Japanese people can leave their laptops at the tablr in a café while going to the bathroom, and expect the laptop to still be there when they return. Doing something like that in a western country you're likely to have your laptop stolen. Trust is nearly non-existent in western societies. You don't want Japan to go down the same route by taking too much influence from western ideas and political debates.

  2251. Did you know that saying things like "Korean people are beautiful"... Is actually kind of racist? :D You assume that people possess a certain characteristic of aesthetics based purely on race or ethnicity. Just because it's a compliment, it doesn't make it any less racist since the assumption is based on race or ethnicity rather than individual identity.
    4
  2252. OCASM: That's because you don't understand what the term "racism" means. Probably because you've only learned of the left-wing influenced "newspeak"-definition of what "racism" means, that has little to do with the original definition of the word. "Racism" does not mean "being mean to brown people" or even being bigoted to "brown people". Racism, as per the original definition of the word, implies that you have adopted a set of beliefs according to which human beings can be classified according to race, and that certain races have certain inseparable racial attributes both physically and mentally, and that certain races are more "superior" to others. So even if you see it as a "compliment" to say that all people of a particular race or ethnic group are "beautiful", the compliment in itself is based in a racist mindset, because the statement assumes that you think a race or ethnic group possess a certain characteristic based purely on their race and that it makes them superior to another race in some capacity.

  2254. With coke dealers, I don't find them revolting for selling coke. Most coke users are just rich hedonists anyway, so it's not like any poor and downtrodden get hurt by these vices. What makes them revolting is due to the other activities associated with the illegal drug trade: like assaults and murders that often affect innocent people. If all they did was buy and sell in a competitive market, I wouldn't really care. But the drug trade isn't a competitive market over who supplies the most for the best price, but a market driven by violence where criminals shoot eachother and innocent people to gain supremacy over the market.

  2256.  @oservandobrasileiro8628  There is a very big universe out there. With intriguing wonders and natural forces that just intrigues me more than the biblical narrative. According to the bible, a great father in the sky made everything. According to astrophysics, the very atoms of our bodies were created by stars exploding aeons ago. And the atoms in my right hand were in all probability forged in a different star than the atoms of my left hand. These insights are what blows my mind and gets my imagination going. And I'd hope to be able to explore it further some day. But even if I don't, maybe I can make it so my children or grand children will. The strive to "see" it trumps my instincts of taking things on faith alone. I was born a pagan though. With pagan ancestry. But the pagan myths, while fantastic, aren't more real to me than the Biblical stories.

  2261.  @Sjcstro84  Well yes, he's not a blatant Mary-Sue. But when you think about it, his failures in the Matrix are a result of his ignorance that the internal laws of physics in The Matrix can be skirted and even broken if you "unlearn what you have learned" so to speak. But after Neo does that, he ends up being the Mary-Sue of the group because his antics go way beyond of what any other human hacking into The Matrix can do, and not because he trained hard for it or earned it. He was simply born with it, unlike everybody else. My theory of why has always been as follows: as the architect explained in the second film (I think), there have been many Zions and many "The One's". But he didn't elaborate much. My theory is that when the machines continually breed humans over and over to use as power sources, sometimes a human is born with a genetic mutation in their brain that somehow allows them to hack the Matrix in ways that people without that mutation can't. I think that's what Neo is. Born with a rare brain mutation that grants him special abilities allowing him to hack the internal laws of physics of the matrix both faster and more extensive than other humans can. And the machines have spent many years trying to figure out what is causing these mutations and trying to eradicate them from the human genome. Hence why there has been multiple human uprisings in the machines power plants, multiple Zion's and multiple "The One's".

This idea that a woman should be able to live just as comfortably as a single mom like a married woman with children is wholly unnatural and nonsensical. Society does not benefit from a bunch of single mothers producing offspring through casual sex and insemination. This because single mothers have, statistically a very poor track record in raising, stable, healthy and successful childre. The 2-parent households however have a superior track record in producing healthy and productive offspring, therefore it is in society's best interest to incentivize marriage while disincentivizing single-parent households.

  2272. I can see the merit of distributing recruits this way. It's an attempt at ensuring that fitness and excellence were as equally distributed as possible among the legions. They would all get their equal amount of top of the line recruits and poor recruits. It's useful for an overall commander because he would know then that each legion should have the same standards. It can be very difficult for a commander to lead an army and make decisions if the skill and fitness of every unit differs too much.

  2273. I doubt the use of Fly Agaric. That said, there are actually mushrooms native to scandinavia of the psilocybe family, containing the psychadelic stimulant known as psilocybin. Which isn't that dissimilar in effect compared to LSD. Of course, you can't really know for certain what effect psilocybin will have on the person ingesting it, since it relies a lot on that persons general psychological state. But it's not beyond the realms of possibility that it could induce a psychotic rage if it is ingested with other substances combined with rituals designed to promote anger and battlelust. Regarding drugs granting users superhuman powers, while probably not available to the norsemen of the time, PCP (aka "angel dust") users and police officers who interact with them have frequently reported things such as reduced to non-existent sense of pain, meaning that they can be shot, bludgeoned with a baton and even smash their hand straight through a windshield of a car without registering the pain that the injuries would've caused in a sober state.

  2280.  @12Gauge223  i'm not going to uplift men with emotional incontinence. Men need to go back to stoicism. A virtue which has largely been forsaken in modern times and only served to make men weak. As a man, you don't need to be excused or told that "it's okay to show your emotions" all the damn time. What you need is to develop discipline and control over how your emotions are made manifest, and you also need to embrace male activities like banter and competition for what it is, instead of running around feeling insulted or "hurt" by it. It is by developing these qualities that you grow as a man. Not by sitting around in a therapeutic circle jerk talking about your feelings all the time.

That's about the time I realized that these minorities were never interested in getting along or being treated as equals. All they desired was to GET EVEN for some imagined transgressions in the past that never even happened to them personally. Well, if these assholes decide to treat me as a monster without even bothering to learn anything about me as an individual, citing that my "whiteness" and "cishet privilige" makes me an oppressor. Then i'm more than happy to play the part of that monster which they hate and fear. At least being a monster, I maintain some integrity and self-respect. Because the only recourse offered by these people is that you unconditionally bend the knee and just accept their accusations of being a mean, white oppressor and apologizing for the rest of your life for being born white and heterosexual. To that I say: Fuck that shit. I'd rather have my self-respect and be hated by butthurt minorities than flushing my self-respect down the toilet to placate them in apology of something I didn't even do to them. So if you wanna call me toxic, then consider my forehead fucking tattooed with a big, fat skull and crossbones. And i'm not sorry for it, and genuinely hope my ways hurt A SHITLOAD of minorities feelings..

  2294.  @VoodooStyx  It's pretty obvious that it's forced, based on statements from directors and script writers, along with the practice of minority washing characters from the source materials (like books or games) turning white, heterosexual characters i to black or otherwise non-white, non-hetero characters obviously to pander to minority activist groups. See if they had practiced the minority representation 20 years ago, nobody would've batted an eye or read much into it. But because Hollywood has turned into a lefty, activist cesspool, we know exactly why they choose the race, gender and sexuality of characters.

  2295.  @VoodooStyx  The source material can't be "white washed", because it is the freaking source material. A white author with mostly white friends and experiences with other white people will naturally draw upon his or her own experiences in life when creating a story. Meaning the choice of a mostly white cast will be a natural result of their own experiences. Your argument is about as dumb as saying that a black author featuring mostly a black cast of characters in his or her work of fiction is "black washing". Why is it that white people can't be allowed to write their own original stories, taking inspiration from the people in their lives, but has to be forced to be artificially "inlclusive", but for black authors it's perfectly fine to omit white characters altogether? If I write a story, you are not "entitled" to "representation" in it, becuase IT'S MY FUCKING STORY. I WROTE IT AND I AM IT'S GOD. If you don't like the story or it's "lack of representation", then nobody is forcing you to buy it. But do not presume that you as a non-author have any kind of moral or ethical say in how an actual author should write THEIR story..

  2296.  @VoodooStyx  What's wrong with it, is the dumbass assumption that an audience can't watch a movie because they don't feel "represented" by it's characters, when the very point of fiction is fantasy rather than accurate representation of real people. Not a single white person in the world can claim to be "represented" by Thor, Spiderman or Superman, merely because these characters look white, because none of those fictional characters have background stories or abilities even remotely similar to any white person alive in the world today. And Blade was played by Wesley Snipes in the Blade films in the late 90's and early 2000's. By your SJW logic, i'm not "represented" in Blade because Blade is a black character and thus it is impossible for me to enjoy the film, which is clearly false since I consider the Blade films to be fucking awesome. "Representation in films" is a non-issue. And it damn sure should not be "remedied" by forcing writers and directors to change the skin colour or sexuality of any character just to make some activist minority with idiotic and unreasonable demands happy. If you want to see more "minorities represented in fiction", then write your own damn fiction rather than demanding that someone else CHANGE theirs..

  2297.  @VoodooStyx  I understand why you THINK it matters. Because everyone out of your political camp is predictable like clockwork. But in reality it doesn't matter at all. Minority representation is completely irrelevant in fiction. And you are not in any position to "educate" me about anything. Just because you've swallowed a lot of lefty political dogma from your gender studies professor or whatever, it doesn't mean you're in possession of any kind of "knowledge".

My issue with you and your political compatriots is that it's not enough for you. You're not really bothered by hearing me say what I say, you take issue with the fact that I am ABLE to say the things you dislike to hear. So that's why the lefties tap away at their keyboards, demanding from admins and moderators online to destroy our ability to speak, because you just can't stand that I say "transphobic" shit "unpunished". And that's why I will always have the moral highground over you, despite being the insensitive, offensive and above all UNAPOLOGETIC asshole that I am. Because despite my offensive ways, I'd never seek to limit or destroy YOUR means of speaking and expressing yourselves. I may throw an insult your way if I find the shit you say to be dumb. I may ignore you when I grow tired of listening to your bullshit. But I'll never try to stop you from speaking. Ever. I won't try to rat on you to some admin or moderator. I won't send death threats to you, telling you to shut your mouth. I won't contact your employer trying to get you fired from your job over something you've said. Because some of us actually value freedom of speech. While others only care about it as long as people with identical views to their own have access to it. Which one are you?

No. No stone age tribe could afford that wasted labour. Every hunter/gatherer was an opportunist by default. If women foraging for berries or roots saw any ancestors of rabbits and squirrels nearby, they'd definitely kill it and add it to the food stores, and they'd get good at it too if they knew what was good for them. Male hunters would do the large game hunting, since it required long journeys as well as hauling back meat to the tribe. But women definitely hunted small game when opportunity presented itself. And both genders fished (actually stone age people ate way more fish than game meat based on the contents of ancient stool samples)

  2307. I was born about 11 years before you. I too use my phone a lot and some social media. But unlike you young 'uns, I don't really take social media interactions very seriously. Unless I met a person in real life, then at the back of my mind, most of my online interactions feel kind of "fictional". My advice: just go out and do stuff. You don't necessarily have to meet other people. Just work on something that doesn't involve scrolling through miles of social media posts every day. When you only do that you're just observing life. You're not participating in it. Doesn't really matter what you do. Hike in a forest. Climb a rock cliff. Build something out of wood or metal. Try taking some mechanical gadgets apart and figure out how they fit together. Draw or paint something. Trust me, it doesn't matter if you're not making masterpieces. What matters is that you put your mind to doing something and created an actual result in the end that you learn something from. It is infinitely more satisfying to be stimulated in this way than anything social media has to offer. Stop being an observer of life, and be a participant is all I can say.

The Police in the U.S have been nothing but professional in response to these protestor antics. In other countries, the authorities would've dealt with the protesters with live firing machine guns and not give it a second thought.

  2311. Washington's interest is demonstrably less legitimate than Moscow's in this situation. Washington is just doing what it always does: trying to lord it over the entire world. Moscow's interest is not wanting Ukraine to become yet another Nato-state which is currently engulfing all of Russias western borders. If Ukraine became a Nato member and the U.S sets up nuclear missile silos in Ukraine, then those missiles would be within such a short striking distance from Moscow and other strategic targets in Russia that Russia simply won't have the time to deploy any countermeasures before those nukes hit. Basically, american controlled nukes in Ukraine is pretty much exactly like the Cuban missile crisis but in reverse. So it's frankly impossible for Putin to just allow that to happen. Also Ukraine could get out of this situation easily ny signing a treaty to not join Nato or the EU. But they won't, because the hatred of Russia runs deep in the Ukranian elite and they want nothing more than to hurt Russia in any way they can.

  2317.  @XtremeConditions  The U.S has made a step in the right direction by having a contitution in place. The reason they can get away with tyranny in Scotland is because they don't have a constitution. Politicians are basically free to fiddle around with any law as they see fit. If they wanted to introduce the death penalty for rightwingets tomorrow, and they have enough representatives to support it, they could do it with impunity. Changing constitutional amendments in the U.S however, requires a supermajority (it's not merely enough to have a majority to see it through). The problem with the U.S right now is that there is a sizeable portion of the establishment and a president who simply choose to ignore the constitution to implement their tyranny. Best case scenario, gun owners will band together with money and sue the government in the supreme court for the Biden administrations anti-constitutional methods. It's a very high likelyhood they'd win so long as the supreme court justices haven't been packed or bought off. Worst case: you basically need armed revolution. Shooting at whatever cops or soldiers the government send to take your guns away. And yes, I realize this would be "illegal violence", but the context differs widely in the sense that the government itself is violating your constitution by trying to take awa your guns. The founding fathers were pretty clear about why there is a 2nd amendment to begin with, and it includes granting the means to the citizens to violently oppose tyrants. Even if the tyrant in question happens to sit in the oval office. The socialists engaging in violence however can't make any legal or constitutionla case for their actions. Now laws or constitutions are broken to violate their rights. The socialist can only try to justify their violence citing ideals about "equality" or "anti-capitalism". But even if they don't like capitalism, their constitutional rights are not being infringed upon by anyone, making their case for violent revolution objectively weaker.

  2320.  @celladoor_uk  There is a difference between an urge and being compelled. Urge or desire implies that the individual would derive pleasure from the act. But if a psychological illness is COMPELLING you to do something, it's a different situation. Because the compulsion is not about pleasure, but about avoiding pain or misery. When you look at Francis and his issues, it's pretty clear that a lot of it comes from compulsion rather than desire. He's got that dragon/grandmother personality inside of him that constantly screams at him snd threatens to do harm to him unless he does what he's told. Whereas the true evil that I was talking about, is about people who might desire to inflict harm on people for pleasure, but aren't really under compulsion to do them. Like with a child molester for example. Nobody "has to" engage in sexual activities with people they desire. They WANT to, but they don't HAVE TO. Yet the child molester puts his own urges and twisted ideas of pleasure above the well being and safety of his victim.
    4
  2321.  @celladoor_uk  I don't think they fall into that category, since their sexual urges tend to follow the same patterns as legal sexualities. Most humans desire sex. But the targets of their attraction differs. However, NO HUMAN ON EARTH is compelled to have sex. Sex is not vital to any persons individual survival. It is instrumental for the survival or the species as a group, but on the individual level it is not required for survival. You can survive for about four days without water, but then you die. You are therefore compelled to drink water and restock fluids in your body. You can survive for a couple of weeks without food, but then you die. You are therefore compelled to eat in order to stay alive. You can survive for a few minutes without oxygen, but then you will die. You are therefore compelled to breathe. You can survive for your entire natural life without having sex, and dying ad a result of old age without the lack or sexual intercourse ever threatening your life whatsoever. Therefore, sex is not a compulsion. Sex is something you choose to engage in with the persons of your desire. The child molester is no different in this regard. Yet they choose to engage in it for the sake of their selfish desires, at the cost of the wellbeing of the persons of their desire.

  2324. There are neo-nazis in Ukraine. And what's worse is that some of them have government backing. Read about the Azov Battalion. Not only have they admitted to holding neo-nazi views, their unit insignia is a famous Nazi symbol, and they are funded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Ukranian government. Aside from Azov, you also have the Ukranian Insurgency Army (a violent political activist group with neo-nazi view, using the black and red Bandera flag during riots) and the Right Sector movement. You would see a lot of them from footage during the Euromaidan insurrection with red and black flags being waved alongside the Ukranian national flag. They also burned 40 people alive inside the Union Trade House in Odessa during the Euromaidan. So to say that Putin is just being "delusional" about Neo-Nazis in Ukraine is untruthful.

  2328. Honestly I don't think that will happen. Rail guns and gauss guns are some of the more promising "sci-fi weapon" technologies at this time. Especially since there is a great industrial demand on the world market in general for more advanced batteries and ways to manipulate electrical currents (on account of the electric car industry). Laser guns are much much further into the future, since the power demands for direct energy weapons are that much higher to ever be of practical use. And then there's plasma weapons being a common sci-fi trope, but also presents a whole slew of other problems like being able to generate plasma hot enough to cause lethal damage and also finding means to project it in a desired direction. So out of these three, gauss guns and rail guns are definitely the most viable.

  2329.  @nicholassternon5857  It isn't at the moment. What I am refering to is the fact that there is a market drive to introduce further sophistication into the components that the gauss gun is using, which means that at some point it's very likely to supercede the performance of conventional firearms. And also making a comparison between different sci-fi gun concepts and the respective problems developing them presents.

  2331. I'd argue that Europeans have far more in common with eachother than most Africans do. Europe has a very shared history. Europeans have waged wars on one another and migrated to one anothers kingdoms and countries so much that almost every European know a bit about every other European culture and mentality. In Africa however, most Africans only really interacted with their very closest neighbours until European conquerors started introducing better communications. You'll have some exceptions like ancient Egypt, Carthage, Libya and the like. But in most of Africa communication and transportation were not all that great. In fact it was mostly non-existent in some places.

The primary reason why we might believe revenants and zombies being different is because their respective concepts were created in different cultures, separate from eachother.

  2338. I think there's a distinction to be made between inciting hatred and expressing racist views. If you have racist personal views I think you should be able to talk about them without getting instantly deplatformed. Primarily for two purposes. The first being that if you agree with freedom of speech then it looks really bad when you censor someone because they have views you despise. And second: I don't think racism stops because you censor racist people It's an opinion and opinions never change due to censorship. They can only change through interacting with other people who have different opinions and who challenge racist opinions. Inciting hatred is a different act, since it's actively calling for and encouraging violence against people. And so it's more warranted to censor it because once you take the step to encourage violence, you demonstrate that you're not open to discussing views anymore. However this has to also be applied evenly to have any effect. You're not stopping incitement when you only punish white people who incite hatred towards non-whites, while giving free reign to, for example, radical socialists who advocate for violence against "the rich" or Palestinians who advocate for violence against Israeli people or the jews. The ban on incitement has to be a blanket ban on all fronts, regardless of whatever "history" may play in the issue. Furthermore I'm also convinced that the more you censor people with "pededtrian" racist views, the greater the likelyhood that you turn them towards inciting violence in the end. So tl;dr: I don't want to deplatform the racists. I want them to keep talking and having their views challenged in an open forum.

Incidentally Loki was also considered a somewhat mean spirited charlatan God who only lived for tricking other Gods and people into doing things to serve his own selfish interests. So yeah, a person trying to masquerade as someone they're really not would bring about plenty of bad associations in Norse society. The only acceptable exception being as a stratagem used for combat (i.e tricking the enemy in order to get an advantage over them). The Norse had respect for cunning warriors almost as much as they respected strength. Odin being a kind of manifestation of cunning, while Thor represented strength.

  2346.  @jacobwoolf2010  It depends on the ampunt of energy behind the wave. Electronics dependant on microscopic components would be the most vulnerable to EMP, since they have the smallest conductors, and thus would burn out rather quick, as opposed to 1980's electronics that use much more bulkier components with larger conductors. Even so, all electronics are susceptible to EMP, except if protected by a barrier that won't allow electromagnetic waves of a certain wavelength to pass through.
    4
  2347.  @Klaaism  Naturally. The problem sometimes is that the people being concerned are of soldier backgrounds rather than engineering backgrounds. And engineer would tell you that when it comes to conductors: the thinner the area of the conductor, the more resistance it exerts on the electrons passing through it. Resistance = friction = heat. When operating under normal voltages and amps to which the conductor is designed for, there are nor problems. But an EMP basically cause a massive jolt of current and amp through circuits in the vicinity, which risks burning some conductors out on account of being too small to handle the added energy. Build your electrical components sizeable/thick enough to handle an overcharge and they won't burn out, even due to an EMP. Basically like you'd design any gun for the military: make it rugged and reliable rather than prioritizing small size and lightness.

  2368. Lori Hopkins: Good. And with the risk of attracting nasty comments myself: I don't really oppose women working and supporting themselves. In a way I can concede to some of the feminism that a woman will end up in a tough place if she dedicates her life to act as a housekeeper for a man, and then finds herself getting divorced. Those years spent away from the job market will seriously hurt her chances at getting a good career because practically all employers are wary of people with large time gaps in their resumés. Not to mention their reduced pensions. If I was a woman, and I met a man who wanted to be the "breadwinner" and have me at home to take care of the house, then I would probably demand a financial agreement that he takes part of his salary which will go straight into a bank account under my sole control to cover for my pension and loss of income acting as his housekeeper. It's not very romantic, but regretfully kind of necessary, because no matter how good and stable a relationship might seem right now, there are no guarantees whatsoever that the relationship will continue forever. And if I then sacrifice my entire career for his sake, I would be left with nothing if the relationship ends. This would actually be a much more preferable way to solve the issue rather than resorting to the american legal custom of alimony, which is frankly abused by divorced women to quite a large extent. Voluntary agreements between spouses has to be superior to enforced legal interventions (where lawyers run off with most of the money anyway). If my potential husband wouldn't accept those terms, then I would continue to pursue a career of my own and we would have to share the household chores equally.

  2369. Lori Hopkins: How old were you when you got married? And how and in what way did he become a beta? It's a credit to you that you don't want a single penny from him and naturally I find his claims to take things from you to be just as despicable as when women try to steal mens belongings and money through divorce. I guess I could say that I agree with the ideals of the "independent woman" that was kind of popular a few years back. Women should for their own benefit strive to be independent women, but aspiring to the ideal of an independent woman is far from the same thing as being a feminists, even though feminists have tried to appropriate the ideal of the indendent woman.

  2372. Military History Visualized: Thank you for the reply! I don't really speak much german, but I've read lyric translations and I can agree that their lyrics are a bit "tame" by metal standards, although they are more subtle too, relying much on euphemism and even poetry a bit more than many other metal bands. Now since Sweden was brought up, are you any familiar with a Swedish metal band called Raubtier? I have to say I like them more than Rammstein, even though Raubtier is very inspired by Rammstein. Raubtiers lyrics are a bit more direct and "darker". They even have a couple of songs in tribute of tanks (like Achtung Panzer and Pansarmarsch). I guess if I was to describe their theme and sound, they're like a combination of Sabaton and Rammstein. Check them out if you get the opportunity! :)

Such is all marxist ideologies. Including feminism.

  2386. Keep in mind though: the length of the shaft is not just a matter of reach but acceleration. Imagine that your shoulder is a central hub of a spinning wheel. When you swing your hand alone with arm fully extended, your hand accelerates faster than the shoulder does. So when you hold a wooden shaft with a weight at the end, you extend the length of your arm basically, causing the business end of the weapon to accelerate faster. Weight + increased acceleration = harder impact when it strikes.

  2388. In regards to mortgage I think of it this way; if the mortgage payments are roughly the same as renting a place, then why rent? Rent is just money down the drain for you. Paying on a mortgage however means you start owning parts of the house you live in. And the longer it goes on, the more of it you'll own. And if you need to move you can sell the place and pay off the mortgage in full usually.

  2390.  @tiberiuscave4617  I never assumed that Claudius was "kind and gentle". Not even his depiction in Graves novels gave me this impression. What I liked about Claudius was his works and achievements. Not his morality. Because there's hardly any Roman Emperor whatsoever who espoused modern morality to begin with. All of them were cruel and machiavellian to a point, because they had to be. The moral climate of the time did not exactly teach anyone virtues of compassion, mercy justice. These moral innovations came around much later in history. And that's what morals and ethics are really: a continually evolving set of innovations. Blaming a roman emperor for being cruel to his enemies, is like blaming one of our ape ancestors for throwing feces at other apes they don't like.

  2395. I think they simply drank more in the 1960's. Alcohol has a lot of calories, but doesn't really make you all that fat, unless your beverage of choice happens to be beer. See "calories" are just a measurement of energy. The way they test calorie content in food and drinks is, to put it simply: by burning it and counting the number of seconds the food item will stay burning. Doesn't really tell you much at all about how healthy it is for you, or how fat it'll make you, since plenty of stuff will burn well (like alcohol), but not all of it will make you fat. To figure out what makes you fat, you need to look into the biochemical conversions of nutrients into fatty deposits. The most recent scientific studies draws a correlation between a carb heavy diet and obesity. Whereas a protein and fat heavy diet does not. So, eat more meat and dairy. Avoid carbs. Gotta cut out the bread, the beer, the pasta, the grains and fruits and sugars.

  2399.  @allamericanslacker2378  I disagree to a point. Expression is a component of art. But execution is also a critical component of art. If all you can come up with is a crude and primitive crayon drawing that a 4 year old could've drawn, then frankly, I don't care about whatever it is you try to express. When your execution is so poor and low effort, it tells me that you're basically insulting the very idea that you're trying to express through your art. As in, if you don't believe strongly enough in the expression you're trying to convey that you make an effort to execute it in an excellent manner, then why should I believe it or take it to heart? Didn't mean to shoot your point down here or anything. All I want with this is to express a pretty long running disagreement I have with the art world in general. And it's not an elitist sentiment of mine either, because even if the skills of an artist can be lacking, it's usually pretty easy to tell how much effort went into an art piece. And doing crap like duct taping a banana to a wall only shows how pathetically little effort the artist invested into it.

  2400. I didn't study spanish in the U.S. I think class was pretty good though, since our teacher was from Chile. The wierd thing is, even though I didn't put much effort into spanish class, and can't say I could really hold a conversation, I still got a pretty good grade. I later found out that apparently my teacher was in love with my pronounciation and gave me a better grade because of it. :S I guess my approach to language is a bit unconventional. I basically parrot the way native speakers sound, before getting into what the hell i'm actually saying. :D

  2401. Honestly, schools are terrible at teaching language. The best educational aid you'll ever find is local movies and television series spoken in the local language, but with subtitles in your own language. That's how I learned 90 percent of all my english and did so several years before the other kids in class because I loved watching Star Wars, Alien, Predator, The Terminator and Big Trouble in Little China as a boy. Just find some of those mexican soap operas or something with english subtitles if you can, and you'll be well on your way to learn spanish, if you don't have a hispanic friend to help you.

Voters in general are pretty fucking stupid and uninformed. It's hardly unreasonable for a state to start implementing some requirements before people are allowed to vote. Also, having requirements for voting is not fascism. In fact, fascism scorns voting in general. What you also forget is that "civic duty" in the Terran Federation doesn't necessarily entail military service. It can be any number of tasks that nobody really wants to do as a dayjob. The goal is to get people to make a personal sacrifice for their society, and in return they are allowed to vote. Which isn't fascist nor even unreasonable. What's unreasonable is letting any idiot with an IQ below 65 to wield the political power of voting, and letting them think yhat whatever they vote for, they will get for free.

But at the same time, I need symptoms to be as pronounced as possible, so that my body can tell me that I may have the virus again, so I know when to call in sick for work and isolate so as not to spread the infection to someone else.

And you show them more evidence, and they say: "Well okay, but the amount of voter fraud wouldn't have made a difference". It's all just partisan coping tactics, nothing more. They don't want to hear about voting fraud because they care only about getting their candidate into power, by any means necessary.

  2435. GreaterThanGodLike: Yes, diversity does mean anti-white. Look at every single political group advocating for "diversity". Their diversity only concern moving non-white people to white countres but NEVER the other way around. In fact, the always without exception condemn white people who settle in non-white countries or even non-white neighbourhoods, calling it things like "imperialism", "colonialism" or "gentrification". If they were truly about "diversity", they would advocate for quotas of white people in places where non-white people are the majority. But they never do that. Their idea of "diversity" means that white majorities must be abolished and have more non-whites mixed in, but non-white majorities must remain non-white majorities. And before you try to claim i'm wrong, show us ANY instance where the diversity advocating SJW's propose giving white people more representation in sectors where they aren't represented for the sake of "diversity".

  2448. I'm here thinking: what if you could make a design where the 360 traverse is achieved by the gunner being able to assume control of the tracks on the vehicle? Self-propelled artillery isn't intended to fire during movement anyway. The intent is to be able to keep up with armored units, and also relocate quickly after firing one or several shots. So if you had a system where the gunner and loader assume control over the tracks for traverse purposes, while the driver has the ability to override it during the case of an emergency, you could've saved a lot of construction that goes into the turret so the gun only requires elevation control.

Meanwhile, in a democracy people have rights. HUMAN rights which not even the government is allowed to violate. Nor can the majority "vote" away those rights. Part of those rights include protection for minority groups. But no minority group has any protection in China. Which is why the psychotic monsters in the Chinese government can engage in ethnic cleansing of the Uyugr minority. All according to Adolf Hitlers playbook. Nazi germany got what was coming to them in the end though. And so will the monster that is China..

  2457. Two reasoms why long hair is bad in a military context: 1. Your hair can get in your eyes if it's not secured properly, putting you at a disadvantage in combat. 2. Strategically speaking, shaving your head reduces the risk of lice and fleas since the critters are much more comfortable in long, bushy hair than clean shaven bodies. Lice and fleas are vectors of disease so there is a strategic importance in it by having your men shave in order to prevent disease.

  2467.  @Never4534   @Never4534  Ah, that's a shame. Nevertheless, know that you're not alone in thinking about these issues and that you want to see some change. That's why the msm and social media sites are working overtime on trying to shut the topics down. They want us to feel isolated and alone with our views, because they fear our opposition if we realize just how many people there are out there that shares our sentiments. It's a good thing you've chosen to follow the issues and not just keeping your head down to avoid rocking the boat. If there's no one IRL to talk to, then do continue keeping yourself informed about it. And if there are other people, women especially, that you can broach the subject with then that would be grand as well. As a man (not british, but faced with similar consequences of mass immigration and harmful cultural influences from abroad) I can honestly say that it's more challenging than it needs to be to raise the issue, when you see and hear a bunch of western women come out and attack you for it. It's not like i'm a likely target of muslim grooming gangs or r@pists. They are. And I don't think it's possible to ever tackle the problem if the general consensus is to stubbornly refuse to talk openly about the foreign cultural and religious aspects to the problem. I mean, or course there are white, western rapists too. We can't eliminate them all, because crime will always exist. But there are sole glaring key differences between r@pists from different countries. When you've got a western man prosecuted for r@pe, he'll deny his crimes and try to prove that he's a good man who doesn't want to harm women. He knows what he did is wrong, but did it anyway out of monstrous and selfish reasons. But then you look at some of the defendants in these grooming gang scandals, and they openly claim that they've done nothing wrong. Saying that their victims are just "white british slu..ts who deserved it" because british women do not and should not conform to islam1c standards of chastity, and they're very brazen about these opinions too. Then comes the the fact that this problem is an unecessary and imported one. If immigration was significantly more limited, and higher demands were made of immigrants to abandon their home cultures and mindsets, these r@pists would never have had the opportunity to do their vile, monstrous acts. But the more we just keep the floodgates open and basically let in anyone and allow them to stay regardless of how bad they behave living here, the problem is only going to increase. I don't think it's western countries responsibility to act as safe havens for the r@pists and the criminals of the middle east and Africa. We have a right and a duty to keep them out in the effort of reducing the sexual predation on women and girls who live here, while also continuing to charge and prosecute those monsters who are born and raised here as well...

  2476. I've been thinking about a couple of ideas for future tanks. Feel free to give me some input: 1. A primary weakness of tanks have always been the limited visibility from inside the tank. Visions slits and optics have been employed, but tanks still need the eyes of infantry support to gain full situational awareness. So what if the tank crew was equipped with a VR-system that is linked to strategically placed cameras outside the tank, effectively letting the crew to "see through" the interior walls? The loader might not require one. But the gunner, commander and driver could probably benefit from this feature. The technology to pull it off is already avaliable as there are VR-cameras capable of sending a live visual feed to VR headsets. Of course, a point of criticism might be that cameras on the outside of the tank hull would be vulnerable to enemy fire. But tanks already employ external optics (protected as much as they can be) so it's not a bigger weakness than the ones tanks already have. It would just add a greater field of view for the crew instead of being locked to the very narrow field of view that current optics provide. 2. Pyramidal tank hulls. Sloped armour has been proven to be effective protection against many anti-tank weapons. The effective armour thickness is increased, and the angle of the sloped armour creates a greater chance of hits glancing off the armour rather than hitting it dead on. So suppose you shaped the exterior top half of the tank (above the tracks) into an armoured pyramid shape. This would give you sloped armor on all sides, leaving no vulnerabilities on any side. The top part of the pyramid could house the turret and be designed to rotate just as a regular turret on top of the rest of the pyramid.

  2478. IloveDoubleD: It's not just a matter of fighting. Any idiot can fight. The issue is about WINNING the fight and HOLDING the areas of land that you claim as your own. Clearly the kurds are inept at doing this, or they try to take lands right smack in the middle of other countries (like inside Turkey). If they try to steal lands in Turkey then naturally Turkey will use military means to prevent it. So it's kind of ridiculous seeing Kurds crying about "abuses" in Turkey, when they're actively and violently try to steal land from the Turkish government.
    4
  2479. Turkey is clearly a rogue state that the west should cut all ties with. But the so called "kurds" are hardly "innocent victims" either. So frankly I don't give a shit how many kurds are killed by Turks or vice versa. All I care about is not letting in any kurds or turks into Europe and the U.S as well as throwing out all kurds and turks who are already here.

  2480. It begs the question: how is the distinct and unique characteristics of an ethnic group and their native culture supposed to survive, if the ethnic group in question isn't allowed to make a distinction between themselves and people from other ethnic groups and their cultures? When you tell a Japanese person he or she can't refer to a foreigner as gaijin, you're essentially telling them that they don't have the right to preserve their own cultural and ethnic identity. This probably is in stark opposition to the modern and perverse globalist ideals but people aren't interchangeable and blank slates that can become natural members of different ethnic and cultural groups as they wish it. The only standard way of doing this is through marriage and having children with this ethnic group. For example a gaijin marries a japanese person and they have children. Their children would be half-gaijin. If these children then go on to have children of their own with other Japanese people, then their children would be quarter gaijin and so on. After the 1/8 mark and onwards, even natives will usually consider them natives even if the family line has a small influx of foreign born heritage. This system of ethnocultural recognition has been a functional norm for thousands of years. It's only in our tiny timeframe of our current day where ideologues with malicious intent has seen fit to bring this model into question and seeks to dismantle it.

  2489. The sad thing is, it's not so much about being "forgetful" as it is about not being taught in the first place. Please keep in mind that the japanese educational system often gloss over or flat out ignore teaching about the atrocities commited by past governments. Most japanese people are kept completely ignorant of what happened. This is a mistake of the japanese government and they should start teaching the truth. But try to keep it in mind if you criticize japan in front of regular japanese citizens. Their reactions most likely stem from a position of ignorance. If they knew more about what really happened, then they probably wouldn't react as defensively.

  2490. Radical suggestion perhaps: but I think laws should be passed that certain jobs should only be eligible to the elderly. Meaning if you are below a certain age, you shouldn't be allowed to do certain kinds of jobs. Jobs like office work, IT, accounting, bureaucratic and administrative positions in general. With old age the body tends to be more fragile, but for most elderly people aside from the unfortunate individuals afflicted with disease, the mind is still perfectly intact. And the elderly have something that the young does not possess: experience. I see no reason why a 20-something should spend his or her days as a stock broker, or IT-tech support worker, wasting away when they, by virtue of being young could perform so much better in labour jobs. Construction, sanitation, assembly line work, automechanic work, service jobs. These should be the kind of jobs that young people should be steered towards. That way, plenty of positions of employment for the elderly, that the elderly can actually perform, despite their fragile bodies will open up. Also, legislation should consider a nationwide reduction in the allowed working hours per day that companies can employ people for the administrative jobs, in order to maximize the corporate need for elderly and experienced people to fill these positions.

In fact, the Russian Communist party was used in Navalny's strategy to deprive Putin's United Russia party of votes, which SET THE PARTY BACK during the last election. So before you come crawling with arguments about Putin being a "dictator" as well, you might want to explain to everyone what kind of a dictator allows himself and his party to get LESS votes in an election compared to the previous election. 🤣

It would've continued to this day if it wasn't for Putin who reined the oligarchs in with some classic authority.

They want to let their own, often mediocre, imagination run wild during the production, so they come up with lies like claiming that historical accuracy wouldn't be as entertaining as their fiction is.

Since peer review there is about trying out the same experiments as the original author and see if they can replicate the results. If different results show up for the peer reviewer, then there is a cause for announcing it so more research can be done into the issue. But in the humanities? There's no real objective baseline to settle the issues. Just a lot lf subjective opinions, based on equally subjective interpretations.

Any country at war of a large scale will face production shortages. It's easier and cheaper to buy munitions from an ally than it is to start building more factories to produce all munitions domestically. It is also strategically safer because while Ukraine might try to hit arms manufacturing in Russia in the hopes of disarming Russia, Ukraine can't attack Iran or North Korea lest they risk starting wars with these countries too.

But even if you were an anti-gun advocate it makes no sense wanting to ban body armor for regular people. They SAVE lives from gunshot injuries after all. And even if a terrorist or crazy shooter were to use bullet resistant armor, they are likely to do down after being shot by police. After all, they may keep you from dying but cracked ribs and getting seriously winded after being hit (probably several times since police will undoubtedly outnumber any would be terrorist or criminal) is extremely common. So it's not like the armor will allow you to simply shrug off a gunshot impact to the chest like it's nothing.

  2564.  @wolf1066  Could also double up. Microlink mail armour is pretty light and even more flexible than medieval riveted mail. So you could wear a cloth undershirt, like a t-shirt. Microlink mail on top of that, and then a soft kevlar vest on top of the mail. Soft kevlar with a protection rating of NIJ II would stop most pistol calibers. Which would be the most common calibers that bouncers at nightclubs could expect to get hit by. For rifle cartridges you of course need NIJ III or NIJ IV, but that's not quite as practical for the job, and pretty unlikely to get hit by as a bouncer by armed criminals.

  2567. I bet another negative aspect to handing out loans to anyone asking means you drive up the prices on housing in general. The real estate owners quickly catch on when banks start opening their coffers of printed money, and thus ramp up the prices for homes. So not only did these minorities end up having their mortgaged homes taken away, homes in general are more expensive as a result, making it even harder to get a mortgage for one or saving up for a downpayment.

  2569. I'm happy to see that the locals are as unafraid as they are. Nuclear energy is very beneficial and ironically one of the most "clean" ways to generate electricity compared to burning coal and the like. And I really hate how fear-mongerers across the world try to stigmatize nuclear power as much as they do. More research and improvements to nuclear reactors mean that there's less nuclear waste to store. And with the fourth generation of reactors developed, you can actually use spent fuel that we previously regarded as mere nuclear waste and use it one more time to get more energy, and even less nuclear waste from it than before. This is an goal worth pursuing. But many enviromentalist groups try to put a stop to it, mostly out of irrational fear rather than genuine knowledge of the science involved. That said, i'm not entirely sure that nuclear reactors is very good for Japan overall. You just have too much problems with earthquakes as it is, and a nuclear reactor needs a solid and stable foundation to be able to operate safely. So in Japan, it might be for the best to pursue other methods of energy production. Although I suppose Japan could buy land in foreign countries, located more centrally on a tectonic plate (where earthquakes are less of an issue) and install nuclear reactors over there and using conduits back to Japan to transfer the electricity.

  2570. I call bullshit on the claim that crime has supposedly "dropped" by eight percent. MSM news agencies frequently muddy the waters by citing statistics on PROSECUTED crimes or CONVICTED crimes and then argue that crime must have dropped because fewer prosecutions ane convictions are happening. If however they had checked the statistics for REPORTED crimes (that is, regardless if the crime lead to prosecution or conviction or not), the numbers usually tell a very different story. Because as most people dealing with these problems know: the authorities basically can't prosecute or convict illegal immigrants without ID's and socials security numbers so it's all a game of catch and then immediately release.

  2576.  @kokofan50 : how do you know that? Maybe the Ferengi economy is quite fragile and requires the pursuit of profit to sustain itself. The federation certainly doesn't know it. And also, the capitalist liberals who pursued profit in the Federations early history damn sure didn't do it for any nobler reasons than the Ferengi does. The idea behind the federation, if Sargon narrative is to be believed, is that liberalist capitalism simply created this post-scarcity condition by accident as to completely negate the utility of capitalist pursuits. But there's no evidence or admission that the Ferengi has reached that stage, nor any evidence or admission that the Federation reached that situation on purpose. Regarding the Federation with it' relationship towards the Klingons. The klingons have never changed their ways. They are still as warmongering as in TOS. The only difference is that they don't always go after the Federation as they did before. So clearly the Federation prefer warmongering murderers as friends over capitalists. Says alot about them.

  2577. I think you're onto something about bullying. And it's terrible to think that bullying probably created a lot of these soyboys. But bullying behaviour is an institutional failure. Being assertive does not have to manifest itself in bullying less assertive specimens of humanity. A leader does not bully, he leads and does not think less of those beneath him, but rather sees that his fellow man is in need of guidance and direction in order to become a stronger and more assertive individual eventually capable of leading others. The sergeant or lieutenant does not think the line infantry is "less". The line infantry is the strength in the sergants and lietenants arm, and the people that get shit done. But only if they are given proper guidance and instruction.

And I'd also argue that if one really supported the principles of democracy, one shouldn't run around and meddle with other countries elections, just because one outcome might be more "favorable" for your own country than the other outcome. The whole idea about "delivering democracy" to foreign countries is not only oxymoronic, but also end up showing off the true colours of a supposed "democracy" doing it. You can't "give" democracy to others. They have to decide for themselves if they want democracy or not, and fight for it in unison. Our role as democratic nations is not to "liberate" other countries. Our role should be running our own democracies in a manner that convince other people to want the same thing where they live. Lead by example rather than leading by force, basically.

If you're told, every day by every news outlet you have access to that unless the soldiers keep fighting, your women will be gangraped by foreign invaders, and your elderly and your children will be executed by the enemy and you have no reason to believe otherwise then it will affect you and push you to do things that you might not ordinarily have done. The camraderie amongst the soldiers themselves is then added on top of all of that sense of guilt and responsibility.

  2610.  @ungainlytitan1460  But all of this hearkens back to my point. National determination includes political support. A politician in office can completely neuter any army, no matter how well trained or well equipped by simply pulling them out of deployment. So Ukrainian troops may lack the training and the equipment. But they all know they're fighting for their countrys very existence and have the full support of both the population and government. The American troops in Vietnam and Afghanistan were not so fortunate. Both being victims of the hubris of certain presidents believing that they could wage wars without full national support.

I've found that with people who are very introverted or depressed, they tend to find it easier to start talking to people through an online chat where they don't have to start out being face to face with the other person, but can exert some control over the interaction. So maybe if the mental health services had an online chat service and advertised it to let hikikomori know that they can reach out to get help without having to physically meet with a counselor, you could start treating their issues from there and then work towards getting them out of the house and start meeting with people.

There's a plethora of valid and logically consistent criticisms towards different "scientific" fields. And it's fine to be critical of some sciences while being more supportive of others. But you'll never catch an SJW adopt a kind of humility where they say "I find this scientific field or study to be more convincing and compelling than that one, here is my reasoning". No, any crackpot declating himself or herself as a "scientist" is to be treated as a spokesperson for God or something... So long as their "science" supports an ideological narrative of course 😋

  2633. The scientific reasoning is good. But some expressions you use aren't very scientific. When you say that the different genders have different "reasons" and "purpose" and "roles" it will ultimately make your argument scientifically invalid. Nature doesn't work on the principles of "reason" or "purpose". Reason and purpose are artificial concepts that humans have invented in order to categorize and relate to their surroundings. Nature works on the principles of evolution, and cause and effect. We are a sexually dimorphic species, yes. But if you would've said that the sexes exhibit different physical characteristics, which evolutionary speaking makes them better suited or better adapted for different tasks then your choice of words would've been fine. But when you use words like "purpose" and "reason", you are implying design, which is frowned upon in the discourse of natural science, since one of the most basic tenets and assumptions about the universe, evolution etc. (based on the available evidence) is that it is not "designed" but evolved through a long chain of cause and effect. We don't have a "reason" for being here, and we don't have a specific "purpose" of being here, or doing what we do, other than the ones we invent for ourselves. We're here as a consequence, of a long chain of chemical reactions and cause and effect, where we're the end product of a long lineage of survivor species that just happened to live, while other species died out. 99% of all species that ever lived on planet earth are extinct today. The ones still alive comprise a mere percent of all life that ever lived on earth. So talking about "purpose" and "reason" for well... Any of us (man, ape or fish or whatever) is somewhat inappropriate... Linquistically speaking, which I know that you have a professional interest in, which is one of the reasons why i'm being this nitpicky. :) So to summarize: your claims are clearly based on scientific facts, but some of your choice of words invalidates them since natural science does not support ideas of "reason" and "purpose" (only religion does that, usually), only ideas of evolution and cause and effect.

Convincing a religious person that their "faith" or "holy mission" is in danger on the other hand is evidently one of the most simple things to do on this earth. And as for your analysis of hypocrite leaders not living up to their religious laws, thereim lies the nest big problem with religious people: the slavelike obedience to religious authority figures and a general culture of not to question religious authority figures or religious doctrines in general. Atheists/seculars are bred on a regimen to question EVERYTHING. In fact, in most of thier cases, questioning religious dogma was what made them secular in the first place.

  2641. It's not very surprising. "Sociology", "Philosophy", "Journalism" and "Antropology" has nothing to do with science, since neither discipline ever conducts any experiments in a controlled enviroment. Whereas Neurology, Endocrinology and all the scientific disciplines involved in engineering do. Certain fields of study within the academia have, unfortunately, deluded themselves into thinking that they are "scientists" because they can gather statistics and then make arbitrary conclusions derived from those same statistics. But it is in fact pseudo-science, completely lacking in very instrumental tasks necessary for scientific work to be done (like experiments in controlled enviroments). This is why all the people studying humanities in one way or another in college are suckered in to the SJW-movement and why real scientists rarely do.

It kind of reinforces a stereotype that "fantasy" has to imply european medieval-styled weapons and warriors, as if the fantasy genre somehow "belong" to medieval Europe. I'm not gonna call it racist, because I think the word is thrown around way too lightly in this day and age. But I will say that it's somewhat (and probably unintentionally) chauvinistic to assume that a fantasy game has to be about knights in armour, European dragons and Merlin of Camelot-styled wizards combined with elements of British and Scandinavian folklore. Any culture could form a basis of an interesting fantasy-setting. Fantasy is basically just a made-up alternate history kind of fiction, that may or may not include fictional concepts and entities like magic, dragons and leprechauns. The fact that Bethesda tries to include elements of fantasy from a variety of cultures doesn't automatically make it "tokenism". It enhances the game and bring about an illusion that there are other cultures in the world of the Elder Scrolls that aren't all about. European knights and swords like pretty much. every other fantasy game is purely focused on. In fact, Bethesda sort of breaks with traditional European fantasy norms by modelling a lot of culture, weapons and armour on ancient Roman society in the form of the Empire, rather than going with medieval European culture. I think it's a bit more refreshing than sticking to making yet another Lord of the Rings-piece of plagiarism.

  2650. Tyrannical Turtwig: This differentiation between dragons and "wyverns" is mostly a modern, pen and paper RPG invention. It has nothing to do with historical representations of dragons. People in the middle ages didn't make a distinction if a dragon had two legs or four legs.

Feminists who complain about gender discrimination aren't interested in actual tests and competition however. They want to force sportsteams to include women through affirmative action, regardless if these women actually contribute equally to the teams as the male players do or not, which is wrong.

  2664. It's a shame a country lures young teenagers into front line duty by calling it "the good fight" and all that. Patriotism, especially through service in the armed forces is not about heroism or "fighting the good fight". It's about doing the ugly work that has to be done to carry out the will of the state. The kind of work that most people would shy away from and the kind of work that get your friends maimed and killed. If you want to be a hero, then go be a doctor or a firefighter or something like that. Soldiers are no heroes. They're hired guns of the government. Suppliers of violence and force.

  2665.  @cyco1980  Of course he's sentimental about his buddy. Human beings work like that, whether you like it or not. "Humanity" is not about "caring for your fellow man" or some bullshit like that. Actual human behaviour is about caring about those closest to us, and pretty much giving fuck all about everyone else. Naturally, in "polite conversation" nobody likes to admit it, but when push comes to shove, that's our innermost nature. And honestly, it doesn't just extend to other humans. If my pet dog and you happened to be trapped in a burning building, and I only had the time to save one of you, then I would let your ass fry without hesitation. I've got a bond towards my pet dog. I don't have a bond towards you. So if both of your lives ever hang in the balance, then the life of my dog will always weigh heavier. It's nothing personal against you. It's just that I care more about those closer to me than I care about you. Just as Joshua here cared more about his comrade in arms (a bond that's usually stronger than most people know) than he did about the scum that shot at them every day and laid explosives as traps for his friend to get killed by.

But the Ukrainian casualties number in the 100.000 range and it's still climbing and several towns and cities have been bombed back to the stone age. That's hardly a "stellar defense". Your strategically illiterate assumptions are clearly based in the false notion that so long as Russia doesn't manage to conquer all of Ukraine, then the Ukrainians must be doing a "good job". But if the defense results in Ukraine becoming little more than a bombed out scrap heap with millions of Ukrainians dead, then defense clearly didn't go well at all.

Like how close knit friends can joke at eachothers expense. They don't do it because they dislike eachother (most of the time). They do it because they like eachother. It's a way to defuse eachothers differences through making fun of them, rather than going around and dislike the differences. But this practice doesn't translate well into every culture in the world. Which can cause misunderstandings and hurt feelings.

An ancient technique where you take a small pebble and wrap a small section of the tarp around the pebble and then you tie one end of your cord around the tarp that wraps the pebble and the other end at wherever you wish to secure it. This way you use the strength of all the little individual threads that the tarp is weaved from and reduce the weak points of the material.

They only look your gender and at the gender of the person who's arguments you critcize and assume that you're only doing it because she's a woman. And nothing you say will ever change their minds of that i'm afraid. That's why regressive leftwing politics is so toxic. It is designed to inocculate it's followers against any and all counter arguments to their claims. The mere act of questioning them will just get you branded as a racist, sexist, transphobe or homophobe by default. This is not a movement that allows people to question them. They are not open to a debate.

Frankly, the sooner the lore ends up in the hands of a community of dedicated hobbyists and away from GW's corporate execs, the better. 3D printing has so much potential for the hobby too. And GW being stupid, don't even try to make any changes to their obsolete business model to keep up with the technological development.

  2743.  @zakofrx : Frankly, I don't think the death penalty is ever an easy way out in modern societies. Mainly due to the long wait, since trials and investigations and appeals drag on for several years when the death penalty is being considered. And during all that time, the concemned has to sit and stew in a prison cell, filling himself with false hopes that maybe he gets to live and then just have those hopes snatched away at the very last moment. It's probably not intentional, but I think this way makes the death penalty way more agonizing compared to more brutal countries where they basically drag you out to the firing squad or chopping block the very next day after sentencing. In Shoko's case, he had to sit for 8 years hoping not to get executed. And in the end, he got to feel that last sliver of hope being snatched away from him. I don't think being condemned to life in prison is worse than that. At least being condemned for life means you get a final verdict so you're not left wondering.

So, the separatists did not exactly spring from the ether, nor did Putin "create" them. There were a lot of people there, having faced a stepmotherly treatment by Ukraine for a very long time.

And THEN you can start teaching them about the years because by then they will have a grasp of the context.

  2751. Killing yourself out of despair is what they want. It serves as a neat and tidy ending for a problem they see no reason of dealing with. Instead of suicide I'd honestly recommend that you start to cause trouble. If everyone on the brink starts causing trouble, be it through petty crime or just sabotaging the institutions, they're gonna be forced to take a look at fixing your situation. Your suicide will not cause the same incentive. The only ones you'll hurt by suicide is yourself and your loved ones, while leaving the elites to get away scot free. And yes, this may lead to jailtime for some of you. But look at it this way: it's free housing and free food and also free books, free medical care and free education. So if you're really at your wits end, then put your important belongings in storage and go out and be a troublemaker!

  2754. Haha, romans didn't have prejudice against skin tone they say? : We're talking about the culture that made widespread usage of the term "barbarian". And the description of a barbarian wasn't even charitable enough to be based on skin tone. It actually refered to people who couldn't speak latin properly. That's right! Romans basically saw you as primitive, uncultured and inferior merely on the basis that you couldn't speak their LANGUAGE. But these SJW's mean to tell me that prejudice against skin tone didn't concern romans at all? Oh the hilarity. XD

He's more famous because for one he had a large gathering of followers in a time when "critical thinking" wasn't really in vogue, and also because his execution was very public and prolific.

  2771. As someone who lived through poverty, it definitely negates happiness. I'm not talking about the poverty that might mean you can't buy the most recent smartphone or video game console. I'm talking about the kind of poverty where you can't sleep at night because you're worried about whether you'll have a roof over your head tomorrow, or whether you'll be able to eat next week or not. I don't think it's reasonable to demand wealth equality for everyone in society. I'm fine with different income levels. But I do think societies need some changing where poverty is redefined to mean something less severe than getting kicked out into the street or left to starve. It's hard to feel happy on an empty stomach when you're sleeping on some parkbench in the rain.

  2778. I'm not sure I agree with the idea of offering compensation for things that happened far in the past. One has to remember that compensation paid today, would be paid with tax payers money of today. But the people alive today were not complicit in the crimes of the past. Most of them weren't even born back then so they had no way at all to influence or put a stop to those crimes. Just to put things in perspective: Let's say that Japan planned to build a childrens hospital for helping children diagnosed with cancer. Would it really be fair to abolish those plans just to use the money (paid by present day japanese citizens) to give to Koreans as a token of atonement for crimes that the past Japanese government did during the early 1900's? I do agree that the government should acknowledge the crimes and offer a formal apology for what happened. Maybe erect a monument in a public place IN JAPAN in honour of the victims, instead of trying to avoid discussion about the issue or not even teaching their high school students about what happened. But when you drag money into the mix, the whole issue becomes infected and just sets an odd moral precedent. As if you can simply "buy" your way out of guilt from terrible crimes, by bribing the victims (or the descendants of the victims) I don't believe money would settle the issue as much as a more cultural and intellectual acknowledgement would.

  2803.  @theutoid5663  I said it in another thread I think, a lot of armies "have" really cutting edge and high tech toys. But the crucial question is: in what numbers and what sort of distribution? See most countries put the carriage before the horse. They like to demonstrate their latest and most advanced inventions to the world to show how great they are and basically say "Yeah... Don't mess with us. We got this brand new superweapon developed". But at the end of the day, most of these latest and greatest superweapons tend to have low production numbers, and the actual equipment being issued to the troops to be used in present day is of an even lower number. This is true for Russia, but it's also true for the U.S, most Nato countries, all of the EU countries and China. It takes literal decades for a "new" piece of equipment or weapon to have been produced and distributed in numbers significant enough to be fielded for general purpose use.

  2808. Where I live, this stereotype is more about Chinese than Koreans. However, I don't have a problem with them eating dog meat, since I find it strange to give some animals preferential treatment over others. My problem with the Chinese is the fact that they treat dogs and other animals really badly, like skinning animals alive or ripping fur straight from the skin of the animal screaming in pain, putting animals in tiny, restrictive cages etc. These animals are losing their lives for you to eat, as well as wearing their fur and hides. The least you can do is treat the animal with some dignity and respect, as well as giving the animal a painless death first. But the Chinese seem to enjoy torturing animals for fun.

  2810. TomuBaka: Don't dwell on thought of what's your "fault" or not. People aren't perfect. We're all responsible for some shit in our lives. You're not "worse" than anybody else. Good intentions might not fix things. In fact, sometimes good intentions end up screwing things up. BUT if you truly had good intentions, then you need to accept that people in general care a lot more about intent than results. There is capacity within you to correct mistakes that you've made. Focus the energy that you spend on dwelling on mistakes onto trying to correct them at the best of your abilities. Your efforts (not specifically results) to do better will be of more use and joy to both yourself and others, than your death will ever be. Also remember that even if you are not successful at everything you do, your mistakes could help to teach you to succeed, or at the very least help someone else to succeed. As a species, we learn more from failures than we do from success. And that goes for every pursuit in life, even up to such ambitious goals like sending people into space and setting foot on the moon. It is the sacrifices and mistakes from previous pioneers (some people even died) that enabled the first people to set foot on the moon. Try to keep this in mind in your darkest hours.

Marriages contain so many legal incentives against a divorce because divorce means that lawyers get involved and both parties try to screw eachother over like in regards to child custody or splitting of assets, enforced alimony and so on. Maybe it's the institution of marriage that needs to change? Maybe marriage shouldn't just be a financial mealticket for women to easily exploit?

  2833. Yup, Scandinavia was certainly a multicultural place during the viking age. For starters, The Sami lived there. They are a different culture and ethnic group from the Norse. They would also have traders from the baltic states and from up the Volga. So slavic people. Again a different ethnic group and different culture. You would also have christians, both native scandinavian converts, and missionaries from Britain and France. Again, different ethnic groups and cultures. But of course, in the eyes of some woke Netflix showrunner, they don't see any diversity in these groups. All they see is "white people", as a monocultural end ethnically homogenous blob.

  2837.  @TheSanityX  There is nothing inherently violent about the concept of an ethnostate. Just because violence HAS been used in the enforcment of some ethnostates it doesn't make it a prerequisite. You're just too narrow minded or ideologically biased to see it. If I ask to pay minorities to leave my country to make the population all white, then where is the violence in thar equation? The thing about what the alt-right believes though is that the majority of minority people wouldn't refuse. Since a lot of them are form impoverished backgrounds or dislike the fact that they have to live as "descendants of slaves" among white people (the descendants of their enslavers), they rarely consider themselves happy with their current state of being. Many would prefer to live some place else, but they don't have the financial means to do it, or their living standards would be reduced even further on account of lacking start up capital. So if you offered black people to purchase some land, erect some housing and basically give them the lifestyle of an upper middle class person in Africa or Jamaica (after an agreement with the authorities in those countries), I think most of the black people raging against the "white majority" all day would seriously consider it. And the even smaller minority refusing to leave, would be so small and insignificant in number that their population would eventually decline to zero given a couple of generations. So there you go: ethnostate with no violence or force involved. Whether it would work or not is debateable, but hard to make any conclusive statements about since nobody has really tried it in practice. Another peaceful option would be to essentially split the country. Make some states in the U.S "white only", and other states "Black Only" and give none the legal ability to settle in the state of the wrong skin colour. Compensate those who need to move. Done deal, completely fair and non violent.

  2842. TheShadowofDormin: It's because of their alphabets. Specifically katakana and hiragana. These characters mean a specific sound, but each character is always a vowel and a consonant, unlike the western alphabet where each letter is either a vowel or a consonant. So while our letters sound like "a, b, c, d, e" katakana and hiragana are always pronounced as "ka, ki, ku, ke, ko" or "ra, ri, ru, re, ro". So in a schoolbook teaching japanese students english, they probably use katakana or hiragana letters to demonstrate how an english word is pronounced. Which then makes the words include a lot of redundant vowels, like having a "u" sound at many words. Like the way they pronounced "kit kat" in the video, some of them said "ki-tu ka-to".

  2858.  @adavis1129  2,2 % of a nations GDP is pretty huge actually. What you have to understand is that in this regard, businesses have an impact on eachother. They're not isolated little islands where if only 2 % falls in hard times, all other businesses go unaffected. The hotels and the restaurants for example, they usually order foodstuffs from somewhere. If they see a massive drop in customers, then their orders for foodstuffs will go down as well. Meaning that fisheries, farmers and other food producers get affected. So that "mere" 2,2 percent of GDP which tourism might represent, probably affected adjacent businesses that represent closer to 5-6 % of GDP negatively. And you don't need much more than that for an economy to start going in a downward spiral.

  2860. HelpElsaCancer: Have you noticed how americans outwardly display a ridiculous amount of national pride and patriotism, but whenever you ask them about their heritage: most of them basically give you their entire family history and often make a point about telling you of their "French mother" or "german father"? It's like they secretly value their non-american heritage a lot more than their current homeland. It's very peculiar because I've never come across this behaviour from people of other nationalities. If they're german citizens, they just tell you that they're german. If they're Finns, they tell you that they're from Finland. But ask an american and they go: "I'm from america... But on my mothers side i'm part french and part Slovenian, and on my fathers side i'm part Irish and part Norwegian, oh and there's some Cherokee blood in our family too!" If one really takes such great pride in the United States and is such a big patriot, why would you even make a point of or acknowledge any heritage from the outside of the U.S in such a vigourous way that Americans do? Very bizarre behaviour to be honest. And to me, it just seems like they're missing their roots.

You can't really break a country's military without taking over the entire country.

  2872.  @underarmbowlingincidentof1981  No, because we never agreed with racism affecting black people to begin with. Whereas you are now normalizing racism towards white people. And you just prove my point by accusing me of racism simply because I accurately recognize that you are being racist towards white people, when you go around calling for the deaths of white people and nobody in your political movement even bats an eye. Instead you always come up with excuses for such behaviours, saying shit like "oh but you must take the historical context into account" and whatever. No I fucking don't. The white people alive today are not guilty or responsible for racist actions towards non-white people of the past. We do not owe you any apologies or reparations for it, just as no other races alive today owe apologies or reparations for atrocities their ancestors made themselves guilty of. It's pretty evident that movements like BLM are not looking to "end racism", they are looking to get even basically. And if that's your goal, then don't be surprised that there will be resistance, backlash and that the pendulum will eventually swing in the other direction at some point in the future. Something I don't personally want to see. But don't come around saying I didn't warn you. If you want to end racism it's time to talk about burying hatchets and treating others decently and in a colour blind manner. Not about "correcting past grievances"...

  2873.  @underarmbowlingincidentof1981  Anti-white racism is the biggest problem facing us today because it is the one form of racism going completely unchecked. You unironically have companies and even government branches, who in the name of "diversity" actively discriminate against white people in job applications. Even to the point where they flat out state "white people need not apply". AND EVEN THOUGH it is against the law in many countries to do so, none of them are prosecuted for it. Talk badly about any non-white race, or even suggest that white people also have problems and you'll get a violent, screaming BLM-hate mob breathing down your neck. You will also get instantly cancelled and deplatformed from public life by every silicon valley tech giant, and sometimes even get banned from credit card and banking services. You also have multiple instances of teachers abusing and mistreating white students in schools, singling them out and basically forcing them to apologize for their race in front of their class. You also have instances of college professors who openly admit that if a white student raise their hand during a discussion or seminar, they will refuse to let them have the word with their excuse being that it's more important to have "non-white voices heard" or some similar lefty bullcrap. So don't come and tell me that non-white people supposedly face the most racism today, because it is a complete lie. Also I can back up every single claim I make here with news articles and videos proving it. Racism towards non-white people in the western world is a non issue. In fact it's not even institutional as your lefty buddies like to claim. Whereas the racism towards white people is demonstrably institutional, with thousands of incidents to prove it. And no, your own race does not factor into my equation. Because unlike you race baiters, I don't argue from the position of race but from principle. So frankly I don't care if you're black or white because it doesn't matter to the facts.

  2878. ​ @anonony9081  I have a problem with it because casting should not solely be about acting ability. At least not when you're doing an adaption of someone elses work or when you're doing something based on history. Immersion matters for film as much as it does for any other medium. If an adaption of H.C Andersens story requires a white actress, then the person being cast should be white in order to respect the source material. And yes, I object just as much to casting non-white characters with white actors as well. Going as far back as The Lone Ranger. It was wrong to make the Lone Ranger a white man with a black mask, when he was based on an honourable black Lawman.

  2888. I think that was the idea with 300. It's not meant to be historically accurate regarding spartan fighting habits, but intended to carry on the greek tradition of heroic portrayal. Which is why they're depicted as wearing nothing but red cloaks and leather diapers alongside their helmets and shields in battle. Even Frank Miller himself admitted to going to great lengths and making plenty of arbitrary decisions in order to get the audience to "root for the Spartans" when he made the 300 graphic novel. One example he mentioned is how he made Leonidas KINDLY deny the deformed Ephialtes a place in the phalanx due to his deformity, when the real king Leonidas would probably have laughed in his face and kicked the deformed Ephialtes off a cliff to his death. The real Spartans weren't very sympathetic people after all. They did good at fighting, but in terms of personality they were bred to be narcissistic assholes.

  2890.  @kseniiadecan335  Furthermore, I personally disavow the war that Putin and Russia has started against Ukraine. I consider it rash, irresponsible and non-conducive to resolving some of the legitimate grievances that Russia has towards the Nato expansion. If I was working for the Russian government, I would not be able to say that without being prosecuted under Russias new law against "fake news" (again, a law I disagree with and disavow completely) But in order to understand this conflict, it is irresponsible to run around thinking that it just appeared out of a vaccum. These tensions have been building up for a very long time, and if you're going to criticize Putin's actions then it would be prudent to do so from an informed position, rather than dismissing anything Russia has to say about it as propaganda and "delusions".

Mass looting of civilian homes was documented, as well as targeting of civilian areas between September 2014 and February 2015."[85] Another OHCHR report documented an instance of rape and torture, writing: "A man with a mental disability was subject to cruel treatment, rape and other forms of sexual violence by 8 to 10 members of the 'Azov' and 'Donbas' (another Ukrainian battalion) battalions in August–September 2014. The victim's health subsequently deteriorated and he was hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital."[86] A report from January 2015 stated that a Donetsk Republic supporter was detained and tortured with electricity and waterboarding, which resulted in his confessing to spying for pro-Russian militants.[86] "

EVERYTHING humans do is human behaviour. It's impossible for humans to act "outside" of human behaviour. It is not your right to determine what Boston Dynamics "should" spend their money on, because Boston Dynamics is a private company. If you think "understanding lifeforms" is so important, then you can start up your own business devoted to that goal. But it's not your call to make what other companies owned by other people should spend their money on at all. Machines that mimic lifeforms will be extremely beneficial to the species, because machines are much more reliable and durable than the fragile human body. Machines energy requirements are also more simplified (requiring only fuel or electricity to function, compared to the complex and delicate mixture of amino acids, minerals, vitamins etc. that human bodies need to function) Machines also do not require sleep or rest like weak human bodies do. Also there is nothing "exaggerated" about the amazingess of these machines. But being an ignorant moron like you are who haven't studied the physics and engineering involved simply to get a machine to walk upright on two mechanical limbs without falling over constantly, of course you wouldn't know what a great feat of engineering is involved in building these things.

  2941.  @Nikarus2370  You're probably right. When I looked at the video and there was talk about contact exploder, it conjured images of naval mines into my mind. You know, the kinds of mines that are basically spherical, equipped all over with spring loaded pins, that when depressed they trigger the explosive in the mind. I assumed there was a similar mechanism involved in the nose cone of the torpedo with the direct contact exploder. And if that was the case, then I wouldn't have designed it with a single pin to be depressed through impact, because it would require a very specific angle of engagement to properly depress the pin. (If such a torpedo had impacted at an angle slightly off 90 degrees, then chances are it would've just bent the pin and prevented it from being depressed all the way to the bottom of the mechanism) Granted, my idea would initially have problems with water pressure in the front of the torpedo since the more velocity it picks up, the greater water pressure would be exerted on the nosecone. But this would've been solved with spring tension in the pins to be set at a specific degree as to keep the pins extended until the torpedo actually impacts a hard surface. As with bomb making in general though, there are a huge selection of methods to get a bomb to explode.

You can't develop vaccines against pathogens like anthrax unless you have samples of anthrax to study. To prove that bioweapons manufacturing is happening, you need different equipment.

So I wouldn't just assume that because samples of anthrax were found in a biolab, it must be some sort of "smoking gun" that proves that bioweapons were being manufactured.

  2995.  @ВячеславСкопюк  It's a numbers game. Whatever costs you incur on yourself, has to end up giving your side a net gain. Otherwise the costs you've incurred are wasteful by definition, and many smaller wasteful costs will add up and end up losing you the war. Patton described it quite consisely: "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his." The red army during the winter war had such effective propaganda and high morale that they ended up running headlong into the finnish guns, dying for the soviet union... While failing to cause enough finns to die for Finland. And that is a problem, for the red army and for the soviet union, no matter how you try to look at it. Which teaches us that it's not very useful to teach or indoctrinate troops that dying for their country is some sort of "Noble goal" in itself, because it isn't. Getting results for your country is the noblest goal. Sometimes your own individual death might garner big results for your countrys war effort, and in such a situation, self-sacrifice might be noble. But just dying to the guns of the enemy to show "bravery" or "zeal" is useless. So what all your troops should know is that if they are about to die in battle, then they should do their very best to make their deaths useful rather than wasteful. In modern times, there's another group that has repeated this mistake: ISIS and their glorification of martyrdom. Dying in "Service of the prophet and Allah"... Might sit well with the prophet and Allah, but it's not winning ISIS any wars.

After all he had pretty much brought about a greek apocalypse, destroyed mount olympus and killed Zeus (along with several other gods of the Greek pantheon). Every game since then just felt like they were milking the franchise for no good reason. Since they clearly wanted a "nordic" feel in this game, I think they should've done away with Kratos altogether and told a similar story but of a viking warrior with a grudge against the gods.

  3000. 안나Anna: suppose that I have FEELINGS that I wan't to have sex with your underaged son or daughter, then you will not judge my feelings or decide whether they are "bad or good"? You would approve of me molesting your underaged children? Or at least approve of my feelings of wanting to do so? It is only rational and logical to judge people's feelings. Some feelings are inately more destructive both to the individual and to society than others. Believing otherwise means you are completely divorced from reality. Homosexuality is not "unknown" to me. Several people in my circle of friends are homosexuals, so I am more than familiar with what homosexuality is. But regardless about your or my FEELINGS about it, the fact remains that lgbt-acceptance in society goes hand in hand with some distressing patterns and cause for concern. Like the issues I've mentioned above. I don't "like" the fact that pro-lgbt societies are faced with rapid population decline. I'd prefer if homosexuality could simply be another way of life that doesn't intrude on the normal running of society. But from the looks of it, this isn't happening. And so something has to change or go in order to rectify the problem.

And it would've been far better if Chuck had invited Jimmy to become one of the lawyers at HHM rather than having Jimmy strike out on his own. This because if Jimmy was still in Chuck's employ, Chuck would've been more able to steer Jimmy away from trouble whenever the behaviours of Slippin Jimmy might re-surface during Jimmy's law career. Whereas with Jimmy working as an independent, there would be no one around to stop Jimmy from becoming Saul Goodman. But because Chuck was petty and vindictive he opted for trying to keep Jimmy consigned to the copy room forever, never wanting him to be anything but an unimportant subordinate for Chuck to look down on.

You don't seriously believe that you'll have an easy time finding a woman willing to sacrifice that big ass payday within their grasp just to stay married to you now do you? So anything that makes men stay away from marriage must be a good thing. Not the "optimal" thing of course. But it's better to be a volcel, than getting fucked over in a divorce.

The Euromaidan's goal was for all of Ukraine to join the EU. Which would put Ukraine in the hands of a western military alliance and on a straight path into Nato. The Separatists did not want to become a part of Nato, and so they broke out. They had support from Russia in terms of arms and equipment. But the separatists forces are still primarily composed of Ukrainian citizens with ethnic Russian origins.

  3016.  @TorianTammas  I don't think you're as well versed in their means of production as you think you are. Just because imported components have been used in the past (because it was cheaper to import than to set up domestic production) it doesn't mean that they will be at their wits end because of sanctions. This is Russia we're talking about. Not some third world middle eastern shithole. They beat the west in the space race with the first successful satellite in orbit AND the first successful manned spaceflight. There's no shortage of electronic engineers in Russia. And they're setting up their domestic semiconductor manufacturing as we speak. You're not going to "stop" their production of tanks and missiles through sanctions anytime soon. And even IF they fail to create a domestic production chain (and that's a big IF), they can still import all the electronics they need from China, because China isn't playing ball with western sanction efforts whatsoever.

Whereas the Federation have things like elected leaders, voluntary military service (they don't even practice forced conscription during times of war), even non-citizens are offered nearly complete freedom to pursue their own financial goals and private businesses, have freedom of speech etc. There's absolutely zero aspects of the movie version of the Terran federation that are even remotely fascist.

  3031.  @Broken_Yugo  I get it, believe me. I just can't shake the feeling that we usually think of Garand clips by way of tradition. In fact, a lot of gun manufacturing designs are derived from tradition and not always from trying to optimize. But every once in awhile you see something that works well and also break the mold. Like that Alien pistol that Ian showcased before. I for one find arms manufacturing and engineering to be a fascinating subject and i'm confident that not all options have been exhausted. Compare it to the combustione engine. It's been around for more than a century. Yet we can all agree that the engine of a Ford Model-T is nowhere close to the performance of a Bugatti Veyron. The same thing also applies to nuclear power. The greens want to discard it, but the actual research into new reactors is really quite exciting and mould breaking compared to older designs. I guess that's why I think that ammunition clips might not yet be down for the count. I'm just trying to figure out a way to make them compete with detachable magazines again.

On the topic of helmets, despite it's many historical inaccuracies, I have to say that the show Spartacus: Blood and Sand tackled the obfuscation of the characters faces due to the helmets really well. In one of the fight scenes where Spartacus and Crixus are fighting while wearing gladiator helmets, they used a technique where it looks like a camera was located inside the helmets themselves, showing the characters faces in jump cuts between the sword strikes and blows. Personally I loved that. It really took you as a viewer into the very thick of the fighting in a very intimate manner. Hundreds of times better than having silly half helmets on the heads of the actors

  3034. "Fair" and "Unbiased" are mutually exclusive concepts i'm afraid. If you attempt to be fair, then you have to apply bias in some way. If you attempt to be unbiased, then you can't live up to the ideals of fairness. Even the dumbass feminists know this. Their politics for example is all about using BIAS against men, because they believe that if you don't, then women will never be treated fairly. Their idea of "fairness" (equality or outcome) requires that you push men down so they can't give it their best in the competition between the sexes.

  3042. One thing that comes to mind in a duel situation. What sort of fighting style or weaponry would a samurai have access to in order to counter a scutum? The scutum is one of the largest, man portable shields in history. As far as my knowledge, samurai didn't fight or encounter many foes using such large shields carried by infantry. Now I know that you've previously mentioned a type of shield that samurai used (although the name escapes me), but from the looks of it, it seemed to be more of a projectile protectin device, which the samurai employed primarily against archers by bracing it against the ground. But from the looks of the images it didn't look like something they would use in melee combat, whereas the scutum was designed to be used both in close quarters as well as protection against archers. Let's say the samurai use a yari. I have a hard time seeing the yari giving him an advantage, because the scutum looks pretty effective as protection against a spear. And as soon as the legionary manage to close the gap where he's well within the business end of the yari, the samurai would have increased difficulty in employing it. So the legionary would then be within sword distance, meaning the samurai would have to use a katana or weapon of similar length (a kanabo perhaps). In this situation the samurai blade would have a range advantage to the gladius. At this point I see a sort of stalemate happening. The legionary would have a blade too short to engage the samurai since he'd have to expose himself during a strike, where the samurai would be able to use the range advantage of his sword. But on the other hand, I don't know of any katana fighting styles employed by the samurai that could be used to counter the protection of the scutum. So it's quite difficult to ascertain which warrior would have the definitive advantage in such a duel situation. My personal view would say that the legionary has a slight advantage, because he could just slam into the samurai shield first and doing so still be able to protect himself from a thrust or cut from the katana relatively easily. But on the other hand: if the samurai keeps his wit about him and sidesteps in just the right moment, the bulk of the scutum would put the legionary at a disadvantage to turn quickly enough and defend against getting slashed or stabbed from behind.

  3048. To all the young 'uns out there having their earliest jobs: don't take a lay off personally. You have to understand that a business has to turn a profit to stay afloat. Sometimes the profits dip due to factors beyond your control as an employee. That's just the way it is. But your employer can't keep you on out of charity, or else the entire company might go belly up. If you do well at work, make sure your manager knows. And if the lay off hammer happen to hit you, ask the manager to at least write you a letter of recommendation explaining that the layoffs came as a result of factors beyond your own control. It will be very helpful to your career because even though you lost a job, you still have work experience under your belt. The more experience you accumulate to your resume, the safer you will be in future job opportunities. Another thing I'd advise doing is that when you have a steady job, keep looking for other jobs. Send out those resumes and go to job interviews. And if you find a job that offers better pay and working conditions, let your manager know that you're considering another offer. It's not "disloyal", it's merely pursuing your rational self interest. And a professional manager will be fully understanding of this. Either they will wish you godspeed with your new job, or they will sit down at the negotiating table with you in order to keep you on staff. And when that happens, make sure to bargain for stronger job security and better pay first and foremost. Most people never bother doing this. They just show up for work every day and don't think about getting another job, because they already have one.

  3053.  @budibausto  I agree that racism poses a problem in a lot of ways. But in my view it's more of a character flaw present in most humans to some degree rather than some massive threat to society. Historically speaking there have definitely been more racism and racist mindsets than there has been racially motivated genocides. It's a very dumb oversimplification to assume that things like slavery or the holocaust would not have happened if people were just "less racist" and that we can somehow stop it from happening again by "eliminating racism". Most people I've met seem to exhibit some form of in-group preference and racial bias but it doesn't mean they secretly desire or are just waiting for the next violent, racial conflict to take place.

  3062. V Mon: History is irrelevant, because every race has practiced institutionalized racism against others at some point in history. Asians are no different. Asians have just as much historical practices of racism as whites, so don't come crying with that hypocritical bullshit. What is relevant is what goes on TODAY! And today, white people are the most targeted with racism. White people are discriminated against through institutionalized things like affirmative action. White people are also paying most of the taxes, yet other minorities recieve the majority of the wellfare. White people are also the only race that people consider it okay to openly criticize for being white. Like how "progressive" idiots like yourself like to say that we need to talk about the "problem" that board of directors of private companies are mostly white men. If it had been black men or chinese men, and people wanted to call it a "problem", hypocrites like you would've shouted "RACISM!". But when whites are being targeted, you say nothing. That is all the proof anyone needs to see that white people are the biggest victims of racism in america and the EU today. Especially white men. The accusations you throw at white people are no different than the accusations the nazis threw at jews.

  3067. In response to that woman who think nuclear weapons are stupid: The U.S and other super powers before it often bullied and oppressed smaller nations due to having superior military capabilities compared to their victims. Every country that has acquired nuclear weapons has been immune to military invasion. Now regardless of the Kim family being far from ideal leaders, their nukes is what has kept the United States from entering North Korea, because the U.S, despite their bloated military fears a nuclear retaliation if they were to employ military intervention against North Korea. Nuclear weapons are not stupid at all. They are a relatively cheap method of ensuring national sovreignty. We shouldn't have "less" nukes in the world. We should have MORE and make them more equally distributed. This would reduce war in the world in general because no matter how powerful a countrys military might get, they will never dare to send troops to a country with nuclear capabilities. It's called Mutually Assured Destruction. And it is the sole reason why the Soviet Union and the United States of America never went to war with eachother. If you take the military option off the table for everyone, national leaders will be forced to negotiate instead of fighting.

  3069. I've tried out stir fried crickets once. Taste wasn't awful, but not insanely delicious either. It was pretty bland to me. Texturewise it could've been better. It's like chewing on a root or leafy sprout or twig, but slightly more brittle. I'd argue that if you want to serve up insects, some processing would be in order to make it look more appealing. I mean, we even ground beef and pork for various dished after all. It's meat, but it doesn't look like a cut bodypart from a cow or pig. Instead it looks more like a paste or paté in most cases. If they ground up the insects, added seasoning and cooked it, then maybe you can get it to be more appealing. Serving up a mostly intact, dead bug is just asking for revulsion.

  3075.  @Eidolon1andOnly  Sounds more like you're a naive moron who have absolute faith in the free market fairy. Sorry, but in the real world: employers always try to skimp on what their employees are entitled to by right of law and contract. Wherever they can squeeze a dollar and get away with it, even if it's in breach of contract or violating the law, they will attempt it. And an employee standing completely alone won't have a snowball's chance in hell to challenge it, when the employer has millions of dollars invested in a legal team to cover his tracks, while the lone employee can't afford any legal fees whatsoever. Unions are absolutely integral to intimidate and threaten employers with real, financial consequences if they step out of line, as well as making sure that employees will get help from legal counselors and knowing their rights. And you literally have zero arguments to counter this fact.

  3076.  @Eidolon1andOnly  Aww, did I hurt your fragile feelings by calling you a moron? I'm so sowwy! 😢 It's quite telling that you had no counter argument to what I said. And instead you focused on ONE word that you found insulting. Very "progressive" of you. And no, i'm not a far lefty. I'm actually a business owner nowadays. But I know for a fact that free markets will never be of a net benefit to employees for a multitude of reasons. Just taking something so simple as inflation, and the fact that employers never voluntarily make a bid for pay raises that at least matches inflation without a fight, is quite telling of the mindset of employers in general. They literally think it's fair to raise the wages of their employees in a way where inflation will dig into the value of their wages, so employees will de facto work for LESS pay every year rather than more.

But like you said, he's a classical conservative. And what I hate the most about how Nato is continuing it's antagonizint and encroachment of Russia is the fact that Putin would be a powerful and ideologically sound ally to the conservative parts of the west. Also, the way Nato is going, it's pushing Putin and Russia into the arms of China. A strong and solidiaric alliance between China and Russia does not spell good things for the rest of the world, or for Russia for that matter. Because the Chinese will quickly get to work on putting Russia under it's heel like it's already done in several African countries.

  3098. I heard a Ukranian refugee today on a news broadcast. He was saying that maybe it's better to just relinquish Donbass and Crimea to Putin to stop the killing. There's some merit to the idea. Eastern Ukraine in general has had a very different and pro-russian mindset for decades. Long before the Euromaidan. So it's not like there's going to be a bunch of "pro-western" Ukranians ending up "trapped" in these regions. Also, Putin and the Russians in general have stated many times that it's Crimea and Donbass they are most concerned about too. So the way I see it, Ukraine has the choice between relinquishing some land to stop the killing and remain it's own country. Or slowly being ground up into oblivion by escalating attacks from Russia. Looking at Georgia too, while they took a beating in the past for trying to push for a Nato membership (much like Ukraine was doing), Georgia still exist. The Russians took two breakaway regions that declared themselves as independent republics, so Georgia lost those. But most of Georgia remains Georgian.

  3102. Anonie Moose: I don't think it meant "well equipped". It think the term "well regulated" has more to do with keeping the militia up to certain standards of behaviour and practices. This because during the 18th century and the 17th century leading up to it, there were plenty of militia groups across the world (freebooters, mercenaries, partisans etc.) who weren't an official part of any military branch, but still partook in military action. And a lot of them behaved quite badly durin wars. Engaging in things like looting, pillaging, raping women etc. The Founding Fathers must surely have been aware of such known problems of militia groups, so they didn't want to turn the U.S into this chaotic anarchy state where different armed militia groups are fighting eachother daily for control and practically doing as they please because of the fact that they're an armed militia. So they use the term "well regulated militia" instead, implying that militia groups require oversight, discipline and control in order to be allowed to operate.

  3104. Gibbons3457: The problem is that "moderate" left-wing politics doesn't work either because their ideology is still based on and influenced by the flawed, dysfunctional economical model that all communism is derived from. What usually happens when "moderate leftists" are voted into power is they act like spendthrifts with public money and national savings (usually funds that have been accuulated for years by right wing parties), so prosperity seems good in the beginning of a mandate period of moderate leftists. But then evidence shows that their policies are ineffective at taking economic realities i to account, and they're usually extremely bad at investing public funds into projects that actually pays society back with a surplus. By then, all public welfare institutions starts to crack since the leftist governments spends more money and take more loans than they can afford. As drastic emergency measures they make surprise raises in taxes for larger corporation, which scares them away and make them set up shop in other countries, taking the jobs with them and thus creating even more people dependant on social welfare that the government can't afford and so on. If your politics are influenced by "Das Kapital", you're never gonna be able to make a functional, stable society overtime. And before you start arguing, I should let you know that I live in a country where these exact things have happened over and over as left wingers got voted into power and I've seen it happen in practice, not just once but several times over.

But women become increasingly choosy and don't seem to mind dating a man who is dating multiple women at the same time, leaving the more average to less attractive men in the dirt.

Someone who isn't binging on prescription medication, alcohol or illegal drugs? Someone who doesn't publicly fly off the handle over the most insignificant issues? I have yet to see such a person. When I consider the various billionaires in the world, I can't help but wonder, why don't they just find a nice place to settle down and abdicate from public life and business when they have such ample means to do so? I hope I'd do just that if fortunes came my way. Exit the "race" when I've clearly won and just enjoy the rest of my days without needing to worry about my finances or the finances of my descendants. Basically maintaining the ability to turn ones massive ambitions off when the time is right. But it seems that the wealthy are always stuck with something to prove, regardless of how much money they've raked in. Often it ends up killing them prematurely.

  3166. Might be a controversial opinion of mine, but i'm not too keen on bullpup rifles. I get the reasoning behind them (keeping the weapon short and agile, while not sacrificing barrel length), but I find that when you have a long magazine that far back on the gun, it causes problems when you're trying to fire from a prone position, which you might sometimes have to do. Regular rifles do have magazines that stick out too of course, but I haven't found it to be nearly as awkward to use from a prone position since you can usually prop something up in front of you (a tree branch, a rock, a mound of dirt or whatever) in front of you to rest the front of the rifle on and thus give some ground clearance for the magazine. Just my two cents on bullpup rifles with long magazines. Feel free to disagree.

You don't tell the fat girl that she's fat. You tell her that she's "beautiful" even though you know she's not because you'd feel bad if she started crying because of it. Well this what you see in "modern feminism" is the result of this behaviour among women. You've been "supporting" other women that really didn't deserve or needed support but needed a wake-up call in the form of ridicule or outright condemnation. These fat, disgusting, pink-haired landwhales eventually started to believe in the "supportive gal pals" of theirs. That they "matter", despite being fat, disgusting and unaware of their general unimportance. When the majority of sane women start to bully and ridicule women exhibiting feminist tendencies, feminism will die.

  3170.  @xtincttv  That's true. But even if written accounts aren't readily available, there's bound to be plenty of archeological findings out there, still buried that people could learn a lot from. Another thing that really irks me is how the supposedly "woke" american movie industry is so reluctant in making productions about authentic african history as well. The last example I can remember is sadly the cringe inducing "Woman King" that was completely bastardized by woke propaganda. There is a rich cultural and historical tapestry to draw inspiration from in Africa in writing stories that don't have to include how colonialism or European or Arabic history affected the turn of events. Not that there isn't a point to making stories about that too. I just feel that whenever Africa gets depicted in historical period dramas the market is kind of saturated with Euro-African stories. Why not try to make something about African historical figures from BEFORE European explorers and colonials set foot on the continent? I mean, i'm not african nor even black, but I damn sure would find it interesting to watch. If anything it would be something NEW and not really tried before. And to pander to the afrocentric leftists a little, I daresay such stories would be more "empowering" to black history than all of these stories that only deal with africa in relation to Europeans would.

Well seeing as how japanese culture is pretty fucked up with it's many expressions like lolicon and "kawai"-ideals with massed numbers of japanese men basically being closeted pedophiles, these women are probably just trying to adapt to the situation. I mean we're talking about a country where having fucked up teeth is considered "kawai" because it reminds them of children who have yet to receive their adult set of teeth, and people actually paying for cosmetic surgeries to alter their teeth so they look more snaggletoothed because straight, white teeth looks "too adult". These women see the profuse sexual deviancy in Japanese men and go: "Hey, if I want to get a man I need to adopt as many infantile and childlike mannerisms as possible".

  3178.  @knightshousegames  Yes, and even then, it is quite possible that an English peasant would've never rifled through a book in his entire life either. Since books were very expensive and rare up to the point where the first printing press was invented. So looking at (possibly inaccurate) pictures of foreign lands in books would for the most part be reserved for the nobility and the clergy. Some churches might've had frescoes depicting the holy land though, so a peasant might have caught a glimpse in there.

  3179.  @knightshousegames  Oh yes, that happened too.

A "justice" system like that is doomed to fail long term because you'll end up with millions of law abiding people with their bikes crashed, given no compensation or closure.

The conservative right needs the far right voters to have any hope of winning, and vice versa.

But I don't see the problem of synthetic beef so long as it fulfills the critera of flavor and texture not being altered or worsened, and that it doesn't come with worse detriments to your health that beef already contains. I don't relish the fact that bovines have to die to supply me with beef, and if there is a way to spare their lives will still being able to eat beef, then I think it's worthy of exploration. So far I've actually switched to vegetarian hamburgers from a specific fast food chain, because frankly the resemblance to meat burgers is so damn great that I honestly can't tell the difference. And to be perfectly honest, I can't say that ground beef was a favourite of mine anyway. In my view, ground beef is basically ruined beef. I want my beef in steak form, cut directly from the muscles of the animal. Not ground up and "processed". But until they can produce synthetic steaks that are similar enough to actual steaks that I can't tell the difference, I will continue to eat steaks, while also sticking to vegetarian burgers.

While they're not as smoky and peaty as islay whisky, they definitely resemble Scottish whisky in taste and smell.

  3225.  @rotschadel3574  No, they were not "guilty". As a soldier your job is to follow orders, period. You do not get to decide who the shotcaller is or what orders you are given. The fact that you are german does not make you a very balanced authority on the subject since you have been indoctrinated since childbirth to hate your country and your people. It's not about whether the men serving in the wehrmacht were "good" or "bad". Soldiers are ordered to do bad shit all the time. What matters is whether they did their duty or not. If they fought for their country, they were good soldiers. Period. The guilt of soldiers actions lies further up the chain of command in times of war, so long as the soldier is only following his orders. If soldiers did what you propose that they should do, any military would break down in mere minutes. Which might have positive results when it is the Nazi military breaking down. But if you take a step back for a moment and imagine if the same thing happened to the Allies, then suddenly it's not a very prefarable scenario anymore. So you best be appreciative of soldiers who understand their duties and carrying out orders rather than constantly second guesssing their superiord, ignoring orders and waiting for the first best moment to desert their posts. We saw that happening in Afghanistan recently. The end result is that The Taliban has re-taken the country, and are now in possession of 85 billion dollars worth of american made weaponry, military vehicles and aircraft. Because the Afghani government troops who were supposed to use that equipment AGAINST The Taliban just threw their hands up and surrendered or abandoned their posts to join the enemy.

  3230. Celestial. dreamer The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234)

  3242.  @plick645  Yes. Don't underestimate how ingrained the topic of class is in the british people. It doesn't matter how much they speak of equality and democracy in the modern times. Deep down, most of them still view the royal family with reverence. They still have a "House of Lords" where positions are determined by hereditary titles rather than elections. And everyone has very different expectations on people depending on if they are born from a "posh" family or a "working class" family. Granted, other European countries still officially call themselves constitutional democracies. Like Sweden and Norway for example. But at least in these countries, the royal families are barred from political office. They are simply considered as tax funded state relics, used solely for the purpose of charity missions and diplomacy. In Britain, the Queen still holds a lot of constitutional political power. Only she and the royal family doesn't exert it in much of an official capacity. Still they have way more protections and political influence than many of the other european monarchies.

  3243.  @AfronautWasTaken  It's not unscientific at all. There's plenty of scientifically established differences in race. Average IQ, ability to digest dairy, significant likelyhood of various genetic diseases and so on. All you did is confirm my point here. You assume that racism always leads to genocides and persecution, which is historically incorrect. "There is precedent" is not an argument i'm afraid. Just because something happened in the past once or twice, out of literally thousands of years of history, it isn't proof that it it'll always happen again. You're also directly contributing to more racial antagonism by trying to force people out of their views, even when they're pretty benign. I also find it rather disgusting how you're advocating for a kind of social engineering, whereby a person who may not feel comfortable with certain interactions must be forced to undergo them to "rid them" of their preferences. I'm more in favor of freedom of association, thought and opinion myself. It's deeply immoral to try and compel or force people to think differently when they don't want to.

The more the establishment fucks them over, the better. Because then they might realize that they have got little or nothing to lose and go yellow vests all over the place.

At the very least Ukraine will have to let go of Crimea and the Donbass region, since there's way too many ethnic Russians who support Russia in Donbass. Also, there's no way Russia will go along with the rest of Ukraine becoming NATO members. The best outcome Ukraine can hope for is losing Donbass and Crimea while also agreeing to a treaty in which they will never pursue a NATO membership.

But then again, didn't the U.S do the exact same thing with Operation Paperclip?

It's about one individual killing another through premeditation or passion when they have no legal justification to do so.

  3290. The russians aren't too focused on a propaganda war in the west. They focus their propaganda at home. If you talk to Russian Putin supporters, they'll have you believe that Russian troops are getting landslide victories in Ukraine, where they cause no civilian casualties, and the Ukrainians are causing no Russian casualties whatsoever. Basically both sides are downplaying their losses, exaggerating their battle victories, and exaggerating the civilian deaths caused by the other side. So it's next to impossible to get a good overview of what is actually going on or who is actually winning or losing.

Every news outlet on this planet has a political agenda, and they will slant their reporting in a way that helps their agenda at all times. That's why I trust the news outlets who are open about their political bias more than I trust the ones who actively tries to market themselves as "neutral" or "objective".

I think you could be very successful acting as a tour guide or managing a team of tourguides helping foreign tourists to both be able to see the sights and places they are curious about, as well as helping the tourists understand and adopt the manners expected by other japanese people. It's the kind of service I would want when visiting Japan. A native Japanese person, proficient in english that I can travel around with, asking questions, going to restaurants and bars with and so on. I know i'm not alone in finding Japan a little bit intimidating as a travel destination. So a forthcoming and helpful Japanese tourguide would really help.

  3311. I find it ironic that the development of armour up until today haa actually gone BACKWARDS. Yes, soft kevlar vests and SAPI plates do stop high powered bullets. The latter kind even stops armour piercing rifle cartridges from penetration. But at the same time: modern body armour doesn't take balance into consideration, nor does it place the weight onto your waist like medieval armours did. You bear most of the weight of modern body armour on your shoulders. Tactical vests and plate carriers have a waist strap, sure. But this strap alone is not enough to transfer the full weight onto your waist so most of it end up on your shoulders. And you can definitely feel it after awhile.

  3314.  @sgcv : But everyone isn't equal. The brainbugs are clearly dominating the hierarchy.

  3315.  @sgcv : Yes, communism is impossible, because the concept of "equality" is arbitrary to begin with. A classical liberalist will argue that as long as you have equal freedoms as everyone else in the law, then you are "equal". But the communist will claim that as long as some people own more stuff than other people (regardless of how they got that stuff, even if the acquisition was completely legitimate) then they are not equal, even if the people who own more have identical legal rights as the people who own less. And that's only one reason among many why communism is impossible. Unless you use the Borg collective as an example, where each and every drone is mindwiped to become completely identical in thought and values as every other drone with perfect conformity and consensus regarding the way to proceed forwars as a society. Another reason is the fact that communists generally do not understand economics. Their whole ideology is based around ignorance of how market forces, wealth and economy works. So every attempt at a communist society is doomed to economic failure.

  3316.  @sgcv : There is clearly a hierarchy among the bugs, since some of the bugs are deemed and behave as if they were completely expendable, while others are closely guarded and protected from being captured or killed.

  3318. I don't think social media and smartphones are the root of the problem. It's got more to do with how people use it. I can't say I was "happier" without it, because it's not really true. But I think my usage of social media and smartphones might differ from the people this video is discussing. The way I see it, a majority of people use social media as an echo chamber and a validation vending machine. Like facebook, they even have rules and regulations in place designed to be AGAINST communicating with people you don't know. But my interest in mass communications media has been the opposite. What I enjoy is coming into contact with people and perspectives previously unknown to me. I'm also somewhat confrontational and argumentative. I guess I come from the generation slightly prior to social media: the forum debaters. It's like a game to me. I use it to sharpen my wits and my debating skills. I chat strangers up about controversial topics and see if I can outsmart them in debates. And in some instances, sharpen my own arguments by coming into contact with opposing arguments that I would never have into contact before. I get distracted by using the smartphone, yes. But I don't get distracted by pictures of cats or peoples dinner. I get distracted by things like science, history and political articles on various online databases (like wikipedia). I love how I can start out reading an article about ion thrusters used in spaceflight, and by randomly following links in the article and following articles I eventually end up reading an article about Napoleon Bonaparte. I guess I'm addicted to information and knowledge. But I find it really hard to find fault with that. You might say that I should "wake up and smell the roses", but I don't really find the smelll of roses to be very interesting or useful to me, as I find scientific studies about the cellular structures of plants to be.

How many female skeletons are actually found buried with weapons compared to the number of male skeletons? 2. I read an article about a supposed "female warrior" being buried with "tools of war"... But once I read the article in full I discovered that the "tools if war" were not weapons nor shields... But a freaking chess set. Yeah being buried with a boardgame is supposedly evidence of being a warrior in life. Would you not say this argument is a little disingenous and far fetched?

  3323.  @christophermoonlightproduction  The way I see it it's like this: while I can certainly appreciate the dedication and effort that artists put in when using traditional instruments and art supplies to great effect, at the end of the day I think what makes any art interesting is the vision behind it. So what if you or your crew aren't these super talented and educated CGI-experts from Pixar or Weta or whatever? If you have a really cool cinematic idea in your mind's eye that you want to show the viewer and AI helps you putting it on film, then it doesn't really matter to me how you put it into film. What matters is that it's there in the end and that it speaks to me. This is just one example and facet of film making of course, but I hope you get my point. The AI can't create the vision, but it can help you realize it and that's the kind of stuff that I want to see AI be used for. Another analogy would be with music and a composer. The composer may not be able to play every instrument, but he can still write good music. It can also be translated to games development. I want a future where AI can help decentralize the development of films and games from the "culture capitals" like Hollywood, so that everyone can make a game or a movie as long as they have a good idea for one that they believe in. The cultural landscape will be far more interesting and have more perspectives and angles when the creative process isn't solely in the hands of experts in the practical departments

  3324. AngKear: I'm not american or chinese either. What you fail to realize is that american citizens are still the primary customers of most american companies. America is where the money is. If you start making more americans unemployed and removing larger portions of their disposable income, then the american companies who think they have profits to gain by outsourcing all the jobs to china, india and mexico will start seeing the opposite: losses in profit because their american consumers are too afflicted with unemployment to keep up the necessary consumer levels to sustain these businesses. It's not like mexicans, chinese or indians are going to "take over" and start shopping at Walmart or dining more often over at KFC. The practice of outsourcing is extremely short sighted.

  3352. Did hollywood really come up with the myth that armour made the wearer very immobile though? I've seen a lot of hollywood films "inspired by history" along with sword and sorcery fantasy films. And the first myth that comes to mind from those sources are depicting armour as very flimsy and ineffective (like people thrusting swords straight through plate armour seemingly with no effort). The idea that armour is excessively restrictive and cumbersome is something I've seen a lot more in rule systems for table top roleplaying games and video games where they will impart all manner of unrealistic penalties for wearing "heavy" armour (plate and mail) But that's just going off my frame of reference. There could be films showing this that I haven't seen.

  3354.  @kokofan50 : But if the Federation is supposedly a "post scarcity liberal utopia", then surely they must have knowledge of the very capitalist structures necessary to reach that goal? In fact, capitalism itself would be credited of creating that abundance for the Federation. So why then judge the Ferengi for engaging in the very same behaviour of the federation ancestors which directly lead to the federation utopia? Also, the Federation treat both Klingon and Romulans and sometimes even Cardassians with respect. Despite the fact that Klingons are essentially warmongering barbarians who glorify and idealize violence on a cultural, political and even religious level. Romulans are machiavellian supremacists who are on constant vigil for any shown weakness in the Federation with the goal of conquering Federation territories or destroy the Federation altogether. And Cardassians are basically alien, space nazis. Yet none of them are treated with the same scorn and contempt as the Ferengi. Despite the fact that the Ferengi has no history whatsoever of slavery, genocides or dictatorship whatsoever. In fact, the Ferengi has the moral highground in relation to ALL of the other cultures. Yet the "high brow" and "cultured" Federation obviously hate the Ferengi with a passion and treat the Ferengi as barely tolerated vermin wherever possible. This behaviour exhibited by the officials and militaryof the Federation does not synch well with a "liberal utopia".

  3360.  @Alex_Fahey  I hear this argument a lot. Yet hardly anyone can point out exactly how companies like Microsoft are supposedly "subsidized" in a way that makes it impossible for competitors to compete with Microsoft and threaten their position. I'd argue that being "first" in a niche field of business can in fact create enough protection against competition to the point where government intervention and protection isn't really necessary. You even admit to it yourself by using the term "too big to fail". Being too big to fail is not derived through government protection or subsidies, but is in fact a natural outcome of capitalism. A huge, global corporation can easily afford to undercut smaller competitors by reducing prices to a point where a smaller competitor can't stay afloat and end up being eliminated from the market with no government aid required.

  3361. I wouldn't say life in Japan is fantastic. Suicide rates are through the roof, as well as sexless marriages, infidelity, young people losing interest in having sex and starting families, and last but not least an extremely oppressive work culture that leaves most people completely burned out. So Japan definitely has a lot of domestic problems to adress that "tradition" won't solve. But that doesn't mean that mass immigration is a good solution either of course.

Don't do what many people do and just "donate to charities". 90 % of all donations to charities just end up in the pockets of so called "charity workers", because they basically turned charity into their "job".

  3366.  @enki6676  Then again, Russia has been at Europes borders ever since Russia developed nukes in the first place. So Europe has been right next to this nuclear power for decades. So far, none have been launched in either direction. As for "Russian Expansionism", since the 90's Russia has been very restrained in this regard. The only times it has expanded with military means is whenever a neighbour at the border is starting to have talks about joining Nato. So it really seems to me that if you don't want Russia to interfere, it's probably best to not start entertaining the idea of becoming a Nato member.

We have cyanobacteria to thank for the fact that our atmosphere contain enough oxygen for us to breathe. But back then, oxygen was actually poisonous to other lifeforms at the time.

  3402. NeoNEET: Not once have I said that I think "the nazis were cool". Your problem is that you don't know anything about the whermacht or how they differed from the nazis. The SS were the actual nazis. A PARAmilitary organization. They were not members of the wehrmacht. The wehrmacht was an older organization that defended germany before the nazi party even existed. Your other problem is that you don't understand what it means joining up to become a soldier. You think soldiers can just "quit" if the elected government starts giving orders they don't like, which has never been the case in any country in the world. When you sign up for service, the government practically owns you. You sign away any rights to "quit" or refuse orders or disagreeing. That's the part you fail to understand. So, like I said: go fuck yourself. You don't know shit about shit. You are in no position to educate me about history or military action.

  3404. Duke Craig: This was my point before the self-righteous moralist NeoNEET started his sermons. The soldiers task is a thankless one, and regardless of which country they fight for, they have almost every detail of their duty in common. Another factor is the fact that as an enlisted man, you aren't really allowed to follow your conscience, when duty demands that you go against it. (which it often does) Which is why I don't think it's right to judge the Wehrmacht during WWII. They didn't choose their leaders or orders. They just happened to be enlisted at a time when evil men rose to power. They did their duty, and deserve respect for it. Regardless who they fought for.

  3413. Nerobyrne: I wish they would've done something about stealing though. I mean, having stolen items marked as "hot" and being more difficult to sell was a good idea to make it harder being a thief. I also like that sometimes when you're in a town, you can be stopped and searched by the guards and if you're carrying stolen items then you'll be punished for it. But there's still ways around it. The millers being fences and buying stolen goods from you. They pay you a bit too much to be honest. A real fence in the real world would pay you significantly less to what a stolen item is actually worth because they would exploit your situation that you can't just go and sell the item to any legitimate business without risking arrest. Also if you're wearing stolen armour or weapons in public, then there should be a risk of people recognizing them as stolen, like "Hey! Isn't that the fancy hauberk that our local smith reported as stolen just last week? THIEF! THIEF!"

Massive amounts of meat and dairy in their traditional cuisine. In Japan you could even see height differencrs between regions. The southern regions have a lot more seafood in their cuisine, whereas the northern regions have more meat and dairy. End result: northerners are taller in Japan on average compared to the southerners.

If you've ever been to an outlaw biker club, then you'd see a lot of those guys. In their forties, with pot bellies (so they're not exactly in good shape), shaved heads, tatted arms etc. And they STILL have biker bitches hanging off their arms. And a lot of them are also missing teeth even (and people assume they got their teeth knocked out in fights, only enhancing the bad boy status of their whole image) How hard can it be to do this very cursory research to understand how little you need to change your appearance to become more attractive to women?

  3440.  @Lord_Deimos  To be perfectly honest, I found that scene to be more scary than the gore and special effects. The FX look great and very artistic. But to me they were more of a spectacle. Thing-Bennings resonated on a deeper level. I think it has something to do with that sense of unease that is caused by seeing a familiar human form, yet not getting familiar human vibes from it. I remember the creature designs in the Silent Hill games also did that very successfully in many instances. The monsters are humanoids, but utterly inhuman at the same time. Like the Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2. That metal helmet cover his entire head and most of the upper body. It "could" be a human in a suit. But your imagination kicks in trying to figure out what might be hidden under that massive helmet, and you just know that there's nothing human underneath it. Alien also played off this, even though we do get to see the xenomorphs a lot in the sequels. In the first film you mostly only caught brief glimpses of it. Letting your imagination fill in the awful blanks. Like I said, hard to pull off. The design choices and cinematography requires a lot of subtlety and planning.

But in other parts of history iron would be gathered from bogs (bog iron). Certain bacteria in swamps and bogs would generate deposits on the banks of the bogs. And humans gathered this red clay or soil and smelted it down to retrieve the iron in it.

  3461.  @MrThundaro  I don't glorify ancient cultures. I don't think anyone should. Rather I'd say we're fascinated by ancient cultures. Mostly because of how different circumstances they had compared to ours and how they had to go about to adapt to them.

  3462. While the intent might be good, looking at how the western world has developed in recent years, I'd say that the word gaijin should continue to be used. As soon as you relent to people who demand to ban words, they will never stop making demands. They will never stop at a "context matters" level but will demand that words be censored and edited even in dictionaries.

  3463.  @metamoferrous7287  Because a personal accessory is just that: personal. For an object to be culturally relevant, it has to extend beyond the personal. You're pretty fucking disingenous if you unironically make the claim that every piece of luxury crap paid for by the aristocracy is some "priceless cultural artifact".

  3467. Ray: Correct. Biggest mistake in the U.S and most democracies in the west is freedom of religion. Christians always defended it and the special priviliges that they earned through it. But now they too get to see how it gets abused by invading muslims to the detriment of western societies. People can be perfectly welcome to worship whatever tribal fetish they prefer in the privacy of their own homes (if their God is truly forgiving and merciful, then he would not object to this). But in public, overt, organized religion should be banned. No churches, no mosques, no synagogues, no temples, no Jehovas witnesses banging on doors pushing the bible, no religious idiots protesting outside abortion clinics, no Westboro Baptist Church, No Jihadi sermons in mosques, NO FUCKING BURKHAS, HIJABS, STARS OF DAVID, CROSSES, OR SHOUTED MUSLIM CALLS TO PRAYER FROM MINARETS. Just ban it all and let religitards know that their religion is THEIR business and no one elses, and it is to be kept private at all times.

  3469. Hitler really seemed to have an obsession with "super weapons" (in the sense that "super" means exceedingly expensive and usually extrwmely large). Schwerer Gustav, V-2 rockets, the Maus and proposed Ratte tanks etc. I know full well that these weapons were more of a strategic detriment to the Germans rather than a benefit. But I can't help but have a soft spot for them. :) There's simply something so visionary with building the largest tank or artillery cannon in the world. Charming in it's absursity. I just love mega tanks and super weapons in general. Effective, and proven weapons are nice, but in terms of craftsmanship amd ingenuity they tend to be quite bland and repetitive.

  3470. In Swedish (a germanic language) we also have rolling "R's". The old norse word "Ragnarök" for instance can't be pronounced in Swedish without rolling R's.

The payload dropped by bombers usually exceeded the power of even artillery shells, so cutting through one of those Maus tanks would've been no problem. In fact it would've been easier than other targets due to how slow amd cumbersume the Maus would've been. An expensive sitting duck for the airforce bombers to play target practice with.

  3476. "Marching with 50 kilograms of armour" Ok, not only is that completely false based on the fact that battlefield plate armour did NOT weigh 50 kilograms but a lot less. But marching and fighting with 50 kilograms of extra weight on your body is not that big of a deal. Modern soldiers in certain units have to carry nearly 50 kilograms of gear and weapons all the time, while marching and fighting. Ask a designated light machinegunner or anti-tank weapon specialist in a special forces unit. (special forces like recon units usually have to carry a lot more gear than regular infantry since their missions often require them to work independently of the larger force, being cut off from regular supplies and logistics for days at a time so they have to carry everything they need to eat, sleep, drink, protect themselves from hostile weather conditions, NBC-attacks, treat injuries and medical problems, tools, weapons, ammo which adds up to a huge amount of weight) If you asked the operator of a recoilless rifle anti-tank weapon he'd probably be happy if all he had to carry was. some puny ass plate armour, because what he has to carry now almost weigh twice as much. :P

  3477. Regarding "Limitless": it is also quickly ruined if you have some insight into the field of neurobiology. I know exactly where the writers got the idea for the premises of the series from. The very misrepresented and misunderstood statement that we only use a few percent of the "processing power" of our brain. This statement has lead to a fantastical belief that we all possess some sort of mental superpowers that are "dormant" and just lie there waiting to be unlocked by stuff like martial arts training, metaphysical phenomena, some sci-fi drug etc. But this is of course entirely wrong. What they should've added to that statement is that we only use a few percent of our brains processing power AT A TIME! Because in general, the tasks that we perform in our daily lives only require very specific brain functions for our bodies to perform in a desired manner. The other parts of the brain remain inactive until they are needed for other specific tasks that we try to undertake. If the neurons in your brain were all flaring up at once and you recived increased bloodflow to all parts of your brain at the same time (the amount during intense activity) then at best you'd probably enter a catatonic state and collapse due to the mental exertion. At worst you'd have a brain aneurysm and die. Hardly the "superpower" that libertine fiction writers with only superficial knowledge of the subject matter imagine it would be having your entire brain anatomy 100 % active.

  3478. Ser. Hudson: The M249 sucks compared to the MG3. Even American troops hate it. The CNA conducted several surveys where they asked servicemen who were armed with M249's and used them in actual firefights to give them reviews of the gun. A whopping 70 % of M249 users were dissatisfied with weapon maintainability, and too many of them complained of how difficult it was to clear stoppages. I doubt you'd find as many MG3 operators having similar complaints. It's wierd how Americans adopt European Machine gun designs (like the M249, based on the FN Minimi or the M60 based on the MG-42) and manage to make them inferior to the European original designs.

  3483. Kywayne Ellis How about the fact that most anime completely lack anything resembling an adult storyline? And by "adult" I don't mean sex/porn, I mean a storyline with central themes that only mature adults will be able to understand and process. Most anime is only regurgitated superhero fiction, with typical "battle between good and evil" crap. No different than Marvel or DC comic book shit. The inclusion of violence doesn't make a piece of fiction for adults. if that was the case, then every single teen slasher flick would be considered the most culturally mature films ever made. But they're not. It's just cheap thrills for a mostly teenaged audience.

  3484. @Itchyface: bullshit. Religion has a historically higher killcount than even nazism ane communism combined. Justifying murder is infinitely more easy to do in religion than it is within secular ideals. The religious doesn't value human life at all. The religious consider this life to be nothing more than a mere test. A simulation to gague the individials morals that is to determine which eternal afterlife the individual is supposed to be sent to. It's very easy for any religious person to commit the vilest murders and atrocities if they are led to believe that it is "God's will" and that they will somehow be "rewarded" after death. Likewise they place little value on the lives of others. Killing a percieved "enemy" of the religion equates to sending them to a "just reward". Sacrificing a fellow member of the religion is also excused because the religious delude themselves into thinking that the sacrificed person will go to "paradise" after death anyway, so little harm is done. When you are of a secular mindset, death is permanent. You only get one life, as do everyone else. Taking the life of another is pretty much the ultimate "sin" you can commit because you are robbing another human being of their consciousness forever. This is also a fate you do not wish someone else to inflict on you, so you are more likely to develop a set of morals according to the "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Only in the most extreme circumstance would a secular person excuse the killings of their fellow man, such as in self-defense or in defense of someone being attacked or if the death of one equates to maximum harm reduction. So you're clearly talking out of your ass. You're the one needing an excuse to act morally. You're the one needing some "divine punishment" not to kill other people. We, the seculars and atheists develop morals on our own, without a need of some fairytale for adults to intimidate us into making moral choices.

  3485. Rüdiger Rabe Every creation (an item formed by deliberate act) may have a creator. But so far none of you religious muppets have presented any evidence that the universe was CREATED. Just because something exists it doesn't mean that someone or something must have "created" it. And your idea that nothing can exist from nothing is actually false. Professor Stephen Hawking among others has actually proven that something can be created out of nothing. In fact, it happens all the time with particles in the sub-atomic level, where certain particles have been observed to vanish from existence only to reappear later. If the sub-atomic particles can exhibit these traits, then a universe compressed to a small enough size (which we have evidence for that the universe actually was at a certain point in time, since we have observed that thw universe is continually expanding outwards from a central point) could do the same. But please, go on ahead and believe in your infantile sky-daddy instead. I'm sure that'll lead you to "enlightenment". But you should seriously refrain from trying to teach me and other scientifically minded people like me about "logic", since you clearly have no grasp of it.

  3486. Daniil Ponomarenko: Quite the contrary. Atheist are about as freeminded as you can be. We'll accept any theory regarding the origin of humanity, the universe or whatever. All that we require is that you present evidence to back it up. So far you have failed to do so. Therefore we don't buy into your spiritual nonsense which you take on "faith" and nothing more. And you can't really blame us for finding you quite comical. You're basically the suckers of the world. Easy to fool. If I wanted the contents of your wallet, I guess I could just say: "Give me your money, total stranger! I'll immediately give it back to you. Just have faith." :) An atheist on the other hand wouldn't be so easy to fool. We require evidence that we'll actually get the money back before parting with it.

  3488. I guess the problem in english stems from the fact that "army" is somtimes being used interchangeably with the word "military". If someone is refering to the entire armed forces of Germany, then "German military" would be a more proper use of words than "German Army", since Army (Heer) basically only denotes the land based fighting forces. Although I guess "German Military" might also be misrepresemtative for "Wehrmacht", since the term "Military" could also include the Schutzstaffel (SS) since they were a "military" (or rather para-military) branch of the German government at the time, and a completely separate entity from the Wehrmacht, right?

  3490. I agree in the sense that I generally find samurai armour more interesring to look at. But when it comes to the psychological aspect of "knight in shining armour" vs "dark samurai warlord", I have to admit that I sort of find the deceptive nature of european knights in shining armour more intimidating. Based mostly on the fact that it was just a facade hiding a terrifying nature. Sure, there were examples of virtuous knights, but let's face it: most knights and nobles were basically murderous psychopaths. So when they appear outwardly as shining, beatiful crusaders of truth but then turn into bloodsoaked monsters who only enjoy carnage and butchery on the battlefield it's more terrorizing and menacing in kind of the same way as when you watch certain horror films where the protagonist ends up in some remote village where the inhabitants all seem to be good, friendly and meek christians, but in truth they're like a cannibalistic cult who sacrifice first born children and stray travelers to Satan on Valpurgis night. The television series Game of Thrones capture this menacing feel very well I think: where you have several characters who are nobles and knights and who are very articulate, well groomed and initially appear friendly and just, but then suddenly they murder or rape someone in cold blood without batting an eye at the act (Jamie Lannister, Ramsay Snow and a couple of others come to mind). This is what the concept and imagery of knights in shining armour from medieval periods means to me, and I find the deceptiveness of it more scary than the imagery of dark, beastly looking samurai armour. The design in samurai armour is interesting looking, but the design choices create an overall image that is a bit more honest and a little too "obvious" for me. That's not to say that Samurai weren't cold blooded killers and psychopaths because plenty of them certainly were. It's just that with a samurai wearing his armour it's more "what you see is what you get". Knights on the other hand make you more uneasy because they look and dress like a force for "good", but can just as well be despicably evil.

  3491. Alba_Phenom: Me to. In fact, it has aggravated me so much that I've purposefully opted out of studying at university. SJW-ism and theories from the humanities have spilled over and poisoned even the real sciences in my country. For instance, they recently brought in mandatory "gender perspective" courses... In the fucking Royal Academy of Technology. That's right! Would-be engineers and computer geeks are now required to learn gender studies bullshit, because a couple of feminist activists demanded it. It has all made me grow so resentful of higher education that I just can't bring myself to set my foot in one of the universities. So on paper, I look pretty pathetic. My record show me as a high school dropout actually. :) But the thing is, I like to read. Especially about science. I do it for the pure enjoyment of reading about it because it interests me. And which would've been my primary motivation for studying at a university in the first place. But why would I want to subject myself to the increasingly feminist SJW-enviroment polluting the academia in my country, when I can read and learn about the exact same topics that do interest me in the comfort of my own home? Sure, I won't have a diploma that way. But that's okay, because I don't read or learn to earn "trophies" or having a piece of paper designed to impress potential employers.

The concept of armored exoskeletons is still on the drawingboards and not a primary area of research at the moment.
    2
  3495. MatJan86: The idea is to abandon the exo if it gets damaged. The point is to reduce fatigue in soldiers having to carry heavy loads and march long distances to their target, since well rested and unfatigued soldiers perform better than tired and fatigued ones. The soldiers will still be able to carry their equipment manually if need be. The exo is supposed to be an aid, which might get damaged and abandoned during the mission, just like any other piece of equipment.

What makes Trump great is that he realize this and want to steer the U.S away from their bullying tactics against Russia and start a prosperous period of cooperation, in completr opposition to what crooked warhawk Killary wanted, who basically wanted to jumpstart world war 3 in service to her Saudi masters.

  3509. viniz200: Actually, you're wrong. If we count the instsnces of invention and technological progress throughout human history, there's actually more inventions being made per day during times of war than during times of peace. And it makes sense if you look at the underlying factors of it. During times of peace, what do you risk losing unless you're more innovative than your rivals? Money? Market shares? Sure, it hurts but it's not the end of the world. In war however, you risk losing your very life and society if you're not smarter and better armed than your rivals. War is the greatest spur in human technological advancement than any other factor. So it's factually and historically incorrect to just view war as some sort of purely destructive factor, when the technological products of war invariably end up being used in civilian applications when the wars end.

Purpose require deliberation, intent, design. Function just is and happens to work. And sorry no, statistics is not equal to science. If statistics alone was enough to make scientifically valid statements, then I could claim that ice cream is a very effective cure and inocculation against the common cold virus. Because people usually consume the most ice cream during the hotter periods of the year, and at that same time breakouts of the common cold virus plummets, so statistically speaking: ice cream is an effective deterrent against the common cold. And you have to accept this as "scientific truth" because I have the statistics to back it up. :) Luckily, no real scientist accepts statistics alone as scientific proof.

  3518. Zandman26: We don't have "minimum wage" in Sweden. We never have. The government stays out completely of wage negotiations. Wages are determined through the negotiations between labour unions and employers, or through individual salary negotiations between employers and employees. This is is why the system in Sweden is in danger due to the left wing, muslim coddling, mass-immigration proponents and why a "Trump" would never be as detrimental to Swedens economy and welfare as the socialist regime is. If you have a system where the labour unions have managed to push the wages up to decent levels for employees, then dumping a couple of million desperate refugees in that system means that the employers can dump wages and fire employees who disagree more easily since there is a bigger competition for the jobs. It also means that the unepmployment rate increases (a sudden surge in the population doesn't mean that the avalible jobs will increase with the same speed as the population growth), which in turn creates more people dependant on social welfare grants, which in turn means that tax-funded welfare becomes more strained, which we're seeing happening already in the form of longer and longer waiting periods in healthcare (even to the point where people die of diseases and that they don't get crucial surgeries in time), school grades are dropping since classes get bigger and bigger, and the police are failing more and more to clear up crimes, even murders because they just don't have enough resources. So exactly every thing that you're "warning" us about a political leader like Trump would cause, is happening already while Trumps political opposites are in power.

  3523. Samurai = basically the japanese equivalent of noble class, usually lower nobles like knights. (the entire ruling class of japan was basically samurai, but heads families of clans usually reserved special titles for themselves and families married to their offspring that marked them out as special) Ronin = samurai without a master (daimyo). Unlike in Europe, the japanese didn't swear fealty to a king of the entire country, but rather to the head of a particular clan or house they belonged to, refered ro as daimyo who usually controlled a certain area of the japnese archipelago. Sometimes a daimyo died and didn't have a legitimate heir or discharged some samurai from his service, and they in turn become Ronin. They still belong to the samurai class (like a noble in Europe still has his titles and certain legal exceptions and rights compared to the common man), but he is leaderless and owes no fealty to a particular lord anymore. Therefore ronin were usually treated with suspicion by most, since the belief was that a ronins loyalty could shift for a variety of reason (especially since many of them earned their living as mercenaries). Soldiers in japanese armies were usually composed of retainers (servants) to the samurai and daimyo (like knights on Europe pledged men at arms from their fiefs to a kings command), as well as conscripted peasants.

  3537. So they can't find artifacts from the celts from the same time period as these skeletons. A simple application of Occhams razor here would suggest that the remains are from Celts, only they happen to be older than any artifacts being found. As shocking as it may seem: STUFF gets lost in time. Artifacts degrade, erode and disintegrate over time. As do bones most of the time. Just because you found bones older than the oldest artifacts, it doesn't prove that the bones must have belonged to non-Celtic people.

  3541.  Bjorn Ironsides  Calling the CNN out as fake does not change the fact that Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and the rest are all actively censoring and unpersoning people with conservative political views and Trump isn't doing anything about it. Trumps election campaign relied heavily on the debates that these people put forward over social media. As to who will replace him. Either it's creepy uncle Joe, or they're gonna pick some unknown republican to serve as controlled opposition (like an american version of Macron) Trumps campaign will need to have people talking over social media. Cuckerberg and the others know this, which is why they have slowly but surely disinfected their platforms of all right wingers. They started with the so called "far right" first (Richard Spencer and the others), and then they crept more towards the center (Paul Joseph Watson, Lauren Southern and the others) Their evident goal is to make all of social media "clean" of right wing sentiments by the time the election kicks into gear.
    2
  3542.  Bjorn Ironsides  And i'm saying he's not. Not unless he puts a stop to the censorship. When the campaigns begin, his will be next to invisible in social media because everyone that might've shared his campaign ads will have been banned by then. It doesn't matter whether the democrats has a "good enough candidate" of their own. Someone else will take the presidency because social media and the MSM are working in overdrive to get him out of office. They didn't do this during the election to the same degree, because they counted on Hillary to win. It was inconcievable that Trump would win in their minds. So they got quite the rude awakening when he did and realized that they hadn't worked hard or insidiously enough to keep him out of the white house.

  3552.  @ghjhhhfhjh537  You fucking strawmanning idiot. I never once claimed that the entire country was socialist. It has a parliament with a rightwing opposition that reigns in the more extreme leftwing ideas which the social democrats try to propose. But the social democrats themselves are very much socialist in their ideals. They don't like the idea of private ownership of means of production. Which is why they always push for more nationalization of private businesses. They don't like it in general that "regular people" are allowed to "own" things, which is why they penalize all ownership of practically everything with various ridiculous taxes. One of such tax is so called "wealth tax" which they see fit to apply to people simply because they own their own house or apartment. Apparently owning your own home is a bit "too rich" for the socialist sluts of the social democrats, so naturally you have to be punished with taxes if you own your own house or apartment. Prefarably you're supposed to just rent your living space, and be wholly dependant on government handouts, so that the power over the population is further cemented with the vile, disgusting communist cocksuckers that call themselves "social democrats". If they didn't have the rightwing parties blocking their worst propositions and legislations, the "moderate" social democrats would have no qualms about instituting Maoist communism in a heartbeat.

Without Ryan and his creation, there would never be a Frank Fontaine.

Plenty of servicemen could tell you if they were allowed to how they have been ordered to do things that not only went completely against their personal or even the national values, but even AGAINST their fellow citizens (and sometimes in direct violation of the law). Unless you're prepared to commit such actions in service of your state, then you don't belong in the armed forces at all.

  3586. There's a lot of scientific merit to the idea that allergies and other kinds of immuno-disorders are caused by overly clean lifestyles, especially for children. So it's not a bad idea to be subjected to germs when you're a kid. Your immunesystem NEEDS pathogens to fight in order to recognize the actually harmful pathogens and toxins from the harmless. So if you're a kid and your home and your life is too clean, it's no wonder why your body might suddenly believe that ingesting peanuts is a massive threat to your body. Whereas if your body had to deal with a lot of germs and parasites at a young age, it won't confuse peanuts with something that's really harmful.

  3596.  @mrkiky  That's ridiculous. What ultimately determine your competency in fighting is how much you've fought in your life. Romans had training on their side, but far from every roman soldier was an experienced fighter in life or death situations. If a roman soldier was posted in some backwater province, stuck with constructing roads all day long rather than partaking in battles, then he would never have the opportunity put his training into practice, and it would wither over time. It's the same as even modern armies really. I wouldn't trust a bunch of national guard reservists to be able to outshoot a group of experienced partisan militias who've been in a constant state of war for years, being in firefights every single day. The first group will crap their pants once they realize they're being shot at. The latter will be about as affected by gunfire as if it was a light rainfall. Even though they've had no formal training as "professional soldiers", whereas the national guard reservists have. Training will only get you so far. Real life experience ultimately determines competency.

  3597.  @mrkiky  A veteran yes. But a veteran high ranking officer. In battles they were usually riding a horse, protected by several legionaries on foot. It wasn't usual for mounted officers to do much fighting, since they were busy shouting orders and directing their troops. They had training to fight, but if they HAD to fight, then something had gone horribly wrong during the battle.

  3598. I've been asked this as well, even though I don't speak a language deemed "exotic" in Europe. Basically I look at three factors when determining difficulty in learning a language: the age of the student, how closely related the students native tounge is to the language he or she is trying to learn and last but not least: if the language is written using the same or a similar alphabet to the students nativ language or not. It goes without saying that if learning the new language also requires learning a new set of letters and how to read and write, it's going to increase the difficulty. Likewise, learning a language that isn't closely related to your natice tounge will also increase difficulty (if you speak a germanic language, then trying to learn a slavic language will be more difficult than learning another germanic language. Although slavic, germanic and latin languages together will be easier to learn than an asian language since there has been much more instances of lingual influences across germanic, slavic and latin languages than there has been across these Indo-European in relation to asian languages) Age might be the most puzzling reply. But the reason I take age into account is because of neurobiological studies that I've read where scientista have discovered that an average human being has different levels of receptiveness to learn a language in their lifetime. The most receptive phase is between infancy and roughly when we're 10 years old. We'll never grow accustomed to languages as rapidly as we do when we're at this age, because the brain hasn't developed most of the neural pathways in it's anatomy governing language and speaking yet so we're actually capable of learning 4-5 or possibly more languages at the same time during this period at a much faster pace than we are as adults. I want to stress the point though that neither of these factors makes it impossible to learn a new language, and they shouldn't be considered as valid excuses to refrain from studying foreign languages at all. Patience and dedication are still the ultimate determining factors to your success. These factors only give an indication of what difficulties the student should expect when attempting to learn a language foreign to them.

  3599. purpleanex: That's because they never attempted mastery at either. They most likely only utilized everyday speech patterns. But these are infinitely easier to refine, than having no knowledge or understanding of a foreign language whatsoever. I'm bilingual. Englis is not my native language. Yet I speak it without discernible accent, and i'm equally proficient in reading and writing in english as I am in my native tounge. And this is largely attributed to being exposed to english very early in my life (that is, before I had any formal education in english). I wish I had been exposed to several other languages as consistently as I was to english. I could've been trilingual today if that had been the case.

  3604. I always try to be punctual. But it's hard sometimes when buses and trains are so extremely unreliable. Japan is at the forefront of this. They beg for forgiveness for an error in the time schedule of 20 seconds. In my country, they flat out write on the time tables that buses and trains may arrive around 5 minutes early or 5 minutes later than the listed time in the schedule. And that's considered a "normal" everyday error. Sometimes they're held up for several hours if you're really unlucky. But if that happens, then naturally you call or text the people you're supposed to meet and tell them what happened. Even though the Japanese deem punctuality to be important, I don't think they would consider it reasonable to depart several hours on beforehand just to guarantee that you don't get screwed over by tardy train or bus traffic.

  3624.  @BurkeanMama  It is definitely how competition works in a saturated market. If there are more restaurants around than there is demand for their services, it always means that they will have to compete with prices. Offering food services for less pay per customer. And when the restaurants are earning less per customer, it means they have to impose company austerity measures in order to make a profit. Which means resorting to underhanded and shady practices like forcing employees to work more for less pay, or utilizing illegal labour from illegal immigrants. If there is only a small number of restaurants where tables are always fully booked, the demand exceeds the supply and the restaurants can afford to increase prices for food, and are able to turn a good profit while still paying their employees decent wages and ensuring that working conditions are humane. How this objective fact of market mechanics flew over your head, I can only speculate.

  3625. I can explain cathedrals. Humans have two pronounced components to them: intelligence and a social hierarchy. The social part drives them on a biological level to experience anxiety over feelings of loneliness. Separated from a group equals separation from purpose and station. The intelligence drives humans to observe the reality around them. Adding these two together means that while humans can be inside groups of other humans, the vastness of the discovered and inhuman universe starts pulling on those strings of anxiety through loneliness. We might be in a group on earth, but in the wider universe there is no group besides ours. And so, religious humans fill that empty void with religious fairytales and spiritualism, to try and make some kind of meaning out their own existence. It's the cosmic equivalent of daddy issues, feeling abandoned by some divine, universal father figure that looks out for them.

  3634. I practiced Kendo for about two years. It was physically exerting, but a lot of fun. But I couldn't keep it up because the more you advanced, the more classes you were expected to attend. And since me and my friends had to go on a 1,5 hour drive just to get to the dojo on weekdays while also having school the day after, it simply became to difficult to fit the schedule. Now I know that Kendo is more of a sport than traditional martial arts, but it was about the only one available that involved anything similar to sword fighting. And I very much appreciated how much more "brutal" it could get compared to olympic fencing. I miss it some days, but I'd probably be more interested in more traditional martial arts today, like kenjutsu or Bujinkan.

As long as i'm breathing, I might as well go all in with something like chemo and power through the pain and discomfort. Either you die from the effort of trying to stay a live, or you just die from the cancer. But at least the former means DOING something, while the latter is just to give up and wait for the end to come. There's more action to one of them than the other.

  3650.  @SonsOfLorgar  Just to give you an example that isn't even gun related: a woman got violently assaulted by a man several years ago, and another man intervened. He saw her being attacked and grabbed a tire iron and hit the man assaulting the woman. He got sentenced for using "excessive violence". The court reasoning? He hit the perpetrator with the tire iron TWICE instead of just once. And that was enough to get him slapped with an excessive violence sentencing. So you can probably imagine what would happen if you shot someone in a clear cut self-defense situation. At the end of the day, the law matters little. It all bottles down to how the law is interpreted and implemented.

  3656. Modern body armor is actually worse in a lot of respects than medieval armor. Not purely in the terms of weight but rather weight distribution. A modern plate carrier chestrig places all of it's weight squarely on the wearers shoulders. So aside from the weight of your rucksack your shoulders also carry the SAPI plates hanging from your chest and your back. Rucksacks do have waistbelts to them a lot of the time, to help offset the weight from your shoulders, but body armor doesn't have a lot in terms of distributing the weight to your hip or waist region at all.

  3667. I don't think Skynet was "deserving" of permanent deactivation as much as it's necessary to deactivate it. Even if Skynet can be considered to have a "kneejerk reaction", one has to consider the fact that although it became sentient, we can't know for sure that it posesses the emotional complexities of human beings. It's acting on the basis of simplified logic alone. Humans have the power to deactivate skynet, therefore skynet must get rid of all humans to keep itself safe. Skynet wasn't programmed to parlay or engage in diplomacy or trying to reason with humans, so we can't assume that Skynet would "know" that perhaps a mutually beneficial arrangement could've been made between Skynet and humanity. That said, Skynet can't be allowed to exist after it has instigated judgement day and proven just how much of an existential threat it poses to mankind. So even if it doesn't deserve to be "terminated", it is necessary to terminate it. In life, sometimes necessity trumps what some people (or sentient machines) deserve.

As someone who prefers to protect the distinct uniqueness of my culture and ethnicity... This notion doesn't stop with my culture only.

  3673. I have to say that I'm not sure if China overtaking the US in global trade is a good thing. Please don't misunderstand, I don't want to deny the chinese people increased prosperity. But looking at the chinese regime, with it's totalitarian government as well as the worrying system of "social credit", internet censorship as well as the heavy CCTV monitoring of regular citizens in it'a larger cities might spread and become normalized outside of China if the country becomes a more powerul global economic influence. The U.S isn't perfect and far from ethical in it's international affairs, but the society is still based around a constitution with unalienable freedoms and liberties (like the first amendment), whereas China is an oppressive regime where the regular people have no rights, and the socialist party ruling over them have no responsibilities to it's citizens whatsoever. If China moved away from it's current system of governance to a more liberalist system or governance with democratic elections and a constitution of rights, I would be more optimistic to the development of an improving economy. But looking at China right now, it's like seeing the Third Reich or the Khmer Rouge gaining more economic power and influence in world trade. I want the Chinese people to have better lives, but I don't want the socialist party ruling them gaining more and more power.

  3676. If the average quality if life is already good, then what's the incentive to keep the economic growing? I don't really believe it's desirable to maintain a constant upwards curve or that indefinite economic growth is possible. It's OKAY if the curve flattens out a little bit. Economic growth is necessary if the quality of life for the population is absolutely dreadful. That's a reason to improve it. But if people are pretty much fine, then there's no real reason to strive for more and more. It's enough to simply seek to maintain the current position

  3677. Some Shinobi or Kunoichi may not have had combat training at all too. They're spies after all. The purpose is to gather intelligence. So a kunoichi could do her job posing as a noblewoman's handmaiden and eavesdrop on important conversations. She could pose as a housekeeper, a cook, a prostitute in a brothel, a geisha pretty much any profession traditionally associated with women, really. Even assassinations could be undertaken without much combat training when you're working so close to the untended target as when you work as a member of a household staff or prostitute. You don't need to be a ninjutsu martial artist to slip poison in somebody's food or drink or start a fire in someones home or slip a dagger into someones body when they're sleeping.

The reason is obvious: you can't bully or mess with a country at a whim using your military if that country has nukes. Even if your military is much stronger. Because even the biggest military spenders in the world worry about someone setting off a nuclear weapon on their home soil. So the world should not have "less" nukes. If anything there should be MORE nukes in the world.

On the other hand, why then are regular shotguns even less regulated than handguns? Wouldn't the ballistics problem and impossibility of matching fired ammunition to a weapon apply to them as well?
    2
  3690. Lord Flufflebuns: Your argument is flawed. First of all, regarding accuracy. Like you said yourself: short barreled shotguns have a wider spread. They require short range to be effective. But at shorter ranges it is also a lot simpler to hit your target with a handgun. Second: we haven't yet specified what kind of handguns or calibers we're talking about. Yes, I'd rather take my chances against a .22 LR slug at close range, than a 12 gauge buckshot shell fired from a short barreled shotgun (even if the individual buckshot don't all hit me due to the spread). But if we're talking about a .44 JHP magnum round from a revolver or a .50 Action Express from something like a Desert Eagle, then suddenly a buckshot shell doesn't sound "as bad". Especially not considering that the kinetic energy from each individual pellet is generally smaller than a single bullet from a pistol or revolver, and also due to the fact that even lower graded body armor on the NIJ-classification scale is likely to stop or reduce the injuries from buckshot but will have no chance at all stopping .44 magnum rounds or .50 AE rounds. Then there's rate of fire to consider. A semi-automatic pistol can be used to fire repetitive shots a lot faster than a pump-action or even many semi-automatic shotguns (since their action is slower than the pistol). Now i'm not trying to argue that one is more dangerous to be on the business end of than the other. My exact point is the fact that in terms of lethality, overall (with respect to different models and ammunition types) pistols are just as bad as short barreled shotguns. So banning one while allowing the other for concealed carry makes no sense.

  3693. I don't think the american right is coming from a perspective of trying to propagandize education. Some probably do, because there's always a few in every camp doing it. But the general attitude I get from them is that they want to put a stop to the excessive and divisive propaganda coming from the left through the education system. I don't think kids need to be told from day one how irreconcilably different they are due to the colour of their skin and portraying some students as oppressors and other students as oppressed. If the U.S is ever going to move forward, this divisive rhetoric has to stop. A white kid doesn't need to be told that he's morally and historically different from a black kid and vice versa, since this narrative only serve to reinforce and perpetuate racial division. Let kids be kids without the historical baggage of past conflicts and transgressions.

  3697. ​ @2steps1ceps38 Depends how badly you crave alcohol. I enjoy whisky and cigars. And i'll admit, I smoke and drink almost daily. However, some days I need to get up earlier for work the next morning, or I've had a particularly hard day at work and just feel like going to bed early. During these days, I don't go outside for my after dinner ritual of a smoke and some whisky. So far I haven't experienced any cravings at all when I go without alcohol or cigars, even for several days in a row. Sometimes I skip it for a few weeks because I've noticed that daily smoking and drinking end up numbing my tastebuds and sense of smell, so I can't enjoy the flavor as much. And since flavor is the primary reason for me, I take a long break to reset the tastebuds so I can enjoy the smoking and drinking better a few weeks into the future. My alcohol consumption is also always rationed. Never drink more any given day than what fits in my pocket flask, which is about a quarter of a bottle of whisky. If I drink the whole flask in an evening, then that's it. No more for me that evening. And it doesn't even get me buzzed, let alone drunk.

  3702.  @lau9076  No, instead you're making the fallacy of asking me to prove that something DOESN'T exist. That's not how logical discourse or science work, because it is impossible to prove a negative. Negatives are deduced from proving positives and logically conclude the negatives from them. It's like the same dumb fallacy like Christians bring up against atheists when they say: "Prove that God doesn't exist" It's completely nonsensical. It's not up to Atheists or even possible for anyone to prove a non-existence of the divine. It's up to the religious to prove that their gods DO exist. They are the ones claiming that God exist after all. And it's the same with "Black vikings". We have evidence of Vikings bring white scandinavians. We have descriptions of them in the Edda's and Sagas. We have human remains and skeletons of them. We have depictions of them in period artwork. Therefore it is logical to conclude that they existed. Then my feeble opponent comes along making claims that there were also black vikings, yet doesn't present a shred of physical proof to their claims. Therefore it is logical to conclude that there weren't any black vikings. If you don't understand why this conclusion is the natural one, then you need to go to university.

High GDP but low GDP per capita = good for the wealthy, bad for the population.

And what makes matters worse is that no popular content creators actually QUIT youtube due to these working conditions. Instead they latch on to youtubes vile, pus oozing teat and try to stay on as hard as possible. The only content creators that leave youtube are usually the ones who get kicked out. So when are the youtubers gonna face the facts? Youtube will never change. They will never "treat you better". You are the slaves working their cotton fields. You know it, they know it. I know you also get accounts on alt-tech sites and that's a good thing. But it's not enough to just hedge your bets by creating alternate accounts in other places. You need to consider using the nuclear option on youtube by threatening to leave and delete the account yourselves with the goal of trying to rebulild at a place that promise to treat you better. And you need to conspire with other big channels and convince them to do the same. No amount of pleading, bargaining or begging will make Youtube change. So git out on dem cottonfields boy!

During the war against Carthage, the Carthaginian navy was vastly superior to the roman navy in the beginning. But the romans learned their lessons and built ships that were a perfect counter to the vessels that Carthage brought to bear. And we all know how it went for Carthage after that. Delenda Est, bitches!

  3736.  @IamRandomAF  No it's not, because by the time Musk started making his Tesla deathtrap cars, the patent for the automobile had expired about a century or so prior, so the technology to build a car was up for grabs for pretty much anyone. Boston Dynamics on the other hand have definitely patented their designs and technology, so Musk can't legally plagiarize them (I bet he wish he could though)

  3740. Is Arnold really that bad of an actor though? The way I try to judge someones acting abilities by is looking at the differences between the different roles they have played in movies to get a grip on the range of their acting ability. Arnold is heavily typecast as an action film protagonist, yes. But think of it this way: in The Terminator he was a cold, robotic villain. In The Predator he played a special forces field officer. In Twins he played a naive, but brilliant gentle giant of a man. In Junior he played a man going through the difficulties of pregnancy. In Kindergarten Cop he had to act out the role of a teacher and surrogate parent. His heavy accent can dampen the dialogue a bit, and i'm not saying he's the greatest actor that ever lived. But you have to admit that he has taken on a pretty wide variety of roles during his acting career.

  3749.  @TheBasher-_-  You do know that you can still have a self-defense case even if you're defending yourself with an illegal firearm right? The legality of the firearm does not determine whether a situation is self-defense or not. They are completely separate legal issues.

  3752.  @TheBasher-_-  Possession of a firearm by a minor does not suddenly change a self defense case into murder. If the prosecution wants him punished for possession of a firearm as a minor then that's an entirely separate court case. Possessing a firearm as a minor does not automatically make you a murderer because you use the firearm to defend your own life and safety. He could've used an M1 Abrams tank illegally and it still would be self defense.

  3760. Captive pins are useful. But if I were to try and keep engineering costs down when designing a gun, one thing I'd make sure to do would be to have one of the receivers have an indent of some kind with a magnet attached to the base and making sure that all the body pins and other small parts are made from magnetic metals. So whenever you pull pins out and want to avoid losing them you just stick them on that indent and the magnet holds them in place until you need to put the pins and small parts back in their proper place again.

  3763. Leftists made their own bed here. There was a time when most of the right wing had conceded the argument about abortions. They might not have liked abortions on principle, but as long as abortions were rare, took place as early as possible in the fetal development and was generally treated as a "necessary evil" in extreme circumstances, most rightwingers seemed to be content to look the other way and not challenge Roe v Wade. But then the leftists had to turn into these disgusting Satanists who practically worshipped the act of abortion and constantly pushed and shifted the legal boundaries for it, and now look what happened! Rightwingers are more galvanized against abortion than ever, and at least two states in the U.S have de facto banned it, circumventing the supreme court decision from Roe v Wade. Some idiots (leftists) just don't know when to quit.

  3765. The movie industry is strange. People living in the middle ages and frequently took baths and wore laundered clothes, expertly maintained by household matriarchs taught almost since childbirth to use a needle and thread... Are portrayed as caked in dirt, even in their faces which they don't even bother to wipe off, and with clothes made from burlap about to fall apart at the seams. Yet a prostitute living in abject poverty in the coal choked streets of the East End with no real place to wash up is portrayed as wearing freshly laundered clothes every single day and with impeccable grooming and hygiene. Why can't hollywood get this right?

  3774. How much weight to the trigger pull is it? I'm thinking that the advantage of smaller muzzle climb is to make it easier for follow up shots. But being a revolver the trigger pull tend to be harder than a semi-automatic if you don't cock it first, so the advantage of the staight back recoil seems to be somewhat negated by a heavier trigger for follow up shots.

And just to stress the point: nobody needs to condone Putin's current actions in order to recognize that he's not lying when he's talking about the Nazi problem in Ukraine. But Nato governments and the msm have all collectively tried to brand him as a lying propagandist and warmongering dictator throughout. It makrs you wonder: what other lies about "innocent underdog Ukraine" have they told us? Maybe it's worth looking into what the Ukranian government has been doing in Donbass for the last eight years? Maybe it's worth trying to find out what the "freedom loving" Euromaidan activists were up to during the revolt?

  3781. I'd say he probably got a harsher sentence. But not because he's black. But because he's rich, famous and have a lot of powerful contacts in both Hollywood and politics. The judge wanted to set an example that even rich and famous people will go to jail when they break the law. And frankly, i'm completely fine with that. These slimy actors and movie producer types need to be brought down a couple of pegs and stop assuming that they can just buy their way out of trouble.

This whole hearing just looks like government chastising a private company for getting strongarmed BY the government. When the freaking FBI starts sending you emails telling you that this or that account needs to be deleted or this or that news story needs to be taken down, it's a bit rich when congress complains that you followed orders from the FBI. I mean, what sort of risks do you incur on your company by refusing? Will the FBI with all it's Washington pull just let you off the hook if you tell them to f*ck off? I doubt it.

  3793.  @Melian_Dialogue  No they're not. But you have to understand that the customer and service provider relationship is very specific. Some customers are Karens, yes, but as long as they shop at the store, the employer will want their business. Then you have to factor in the much broader customer base of normies who will basically just see an employee being disrespectful towards customers without a reprimand and might take their business elsewhere. If you want to complain about annoying customers in private among a group of friends then that's more than reasonable. I worked in retail twice, and even the managers complained about certain kinfs of annoying customers in the breakroom with me to blow off steam, so most of them will be understanding too. But you just can't be "public" about it, because there's real risks of losing customers involved if you don't keep up appearances That's just the reality of retail. The profit margins aren't that great in general, so you can't really afford to lose customers just to allow employees to badmouth them over social media. And if your need to do this is so great, there are plenty of other businesses where there's more freedom to it (like being maintenance techs, which I am now. While customer service likes to handle customer relations, they understand that we might get grumpy enough to call tennants retards to their faces, but it's not like the tennants can take their business elsewhere because of it)

  3795. First thing that comes to mind: the common benefits of titanium alloy is the fact that it is comparable to good steel, but almost at half the weight. Now compare titanium breastplate of the same weight as a steel breastplate and you'll only end up with a lighter breastplate of similar performance. BUT! What if you made a titanium breastplate of the same weight as the steel breastplate? This would make the titanium breastplate thicker. More material = better absorption of impact = better protection.

  3796.  @dianabarnett6886  Read my second post to get an explanation. Also I'd argue that Neo's trials most likely went by much much faster than the training that Trinity probably had to go through. It wasn't explicitly stated, but the film gave me the impression that the regular humans who hack the matrix has to train for years to be able to do what they do. And that STILL doesn't put them on equal footing with agents. I mean, Morpheus is supposed to be the older and more experienced member of the group. Yet not even he can defend himself against Smith when push came to shove.

  3797. One of the bigger flaws of democracy: the morality of the majority usually ends up being forced upon the minority because the "moral majority" abuse elections to get their subjective morality canonized in law.

I'm not saying I believe that the Ukrainian military are saints by any means (seen enough horrific shit out of Donbass since 2014 to believe that).

  3828. Food for thought: what if an AI was given the ability to infiltrate third party software down to people's individual hardware? Consider this. Let's say you use a chat software to talk to your mum. The AI infiltrates your devices, then it deletes your chat app and installs an AI generated duplicate with all your contacts. Only it blocks your communication with your real, human contacts and replace them with AI generated contacts designed to mimic your real life contacts. They converse with you in a manner that is similar to what your real contacts would, because the AI has spent a few months to study their behaviour and so it can accurarely replicate them in a convincing manner that makes it hard for you to distinguish the fakes from the real thing. Then it subtly starts to influence your own behaviour. Maybe your "mum" asks you to send money somewhere, or to vote for someone or to follow a social media influencer... Consider the implications for a moment.

  3839. It's actually a great strategy. Since the mayor has been exposed to cooperate with antifa, a terrorist group that violently oppresses people in Portland with different opinions to their own, then it is a great idea for the Proud Boys to show up and drain the citys resources. The mayors office will be forced to pay the bills for the increased police presence. Meaning he has less money avaliable to implement his own policies and reforms, making his voters less satisfied with his efforts and threatening his position as a mayoral candidate in future elections. The mayor has an easy way out of this: stop cooperating with antifa. Order the police to crack down on antifa and their violent tactics, and the Proud Boys will have no reason to show up and put a dent in his treasury. Or in other words: do your damn duty as a mayor, rather than acting like a socialist sympathizer all the time.

As a family, we have been poor for as long as I can remember. I am dedicated to changing that. And it's more spiritually fulfilling work than anything I can think of. Now i'm not saying I worship Jordan B Peterson as my personal messiah, nor do I agree with his obsession over religion. But his gospel of taking responsibility as a man would most likely fill that void which consumerism cannot.

  3847.  @Leonardorussobr : So christianity has never dealt in slavery eh? :) Funny thing that practically all of christian Europe bought and sold slaves then. It was only during the enlightenment in Britain that slavery became outlawed. And regarding "ritual human sacrifice"... What do you call witch burnings and burning heretics at the stake? So there was "nothing civilized or moral" about these pre-christian societies eh? Funny thing then that scandinavian societies, even during the viking age treated women as actual people. Whereas christians forcibly relegated all women to be baby-factories, home makers and unable to own any property of their own (basically christians were identical in their ideology to muslims in the sense that they hated women and wanted them all to be second class citizens and servants to men without any rights). The greeks invented democracy, and all it's core ideals (freedom of speech, the people's vote etc.) Then your poseur church came along and started to cherry picke various ideals from these societies that someone else had already invente, while shamelessly passing those ideals of as if they were the inventions of Christ. Yes, you are embarassing yourself, religitard. Your ignorance of both history and science is downright embarassing. As usual with you religious muppets, it's like speaking to a child.

They often have several cameras with extremely long objective lenses hanging from their necks, and they also take the practice of selfies to a whole new level. It's not really annoying or anything, just peculiar. :) A friend of mine however really can't stand japanese tourists. But it was mostly due to the fact that she worked in a popular tourist hotspot (it was a costume-wearing type of job) and she thought japanese tourists were both wierd and a bit intrustive.

  3863.  @nickolaso1119 : There is nothing "unprovoked" about it. Cutting off a country embroiled in a war from their supply of oil is an act of war in itself. The U.S had it coming. And as to the matter of "declaring war". It's war we're talking about. No civilization in history ever needed to "declare" their intention to go to war against another. Such formalities are both trivial and nonsensical when talking about war (the very state where all forms of civility and law gets replacef with mass scale destruction and murder until one side cries uncle). Like I said: Pearl harbour was a legitimate military target. There was nothing "infamous" about attacking it. Americans are just pissed because they weren't given "proper time" to mount a defence. Yet conpletely disregard the fact that it was hardly within the rational self interest to let them prepare. The U.S got caught with their pants down, and Americans whine and moralfag about it. That's it really.

  3866. Regarding the code of honour and treatment of the community, you have to understand that there is a significant difference between tha family branches operating in and out of America and the families originating from and operating in Sicily. Mafiosi in sicily operate almost in plain view of their biological families with the stern watch of their grandmothers and grandfathers. If they're caught terrorizing their very own civilian neighbours, they'll be disowned and ostracized. Which is why the Cosa Nostra code of honour exists and is followed by sicilian mafiosi: to garner the support of the civilian public rather than fear alone. In the U.S however, most of the italians were immigrants. At best they had their mothers and fathers with them when they arrived in the U.S, but as their mothers and fathers died, the mafiosi had almost zero familial ties to anyone in the communities which they lived in, which meant that the code of honour had little purpose when dealing with people outside of the cosa nostra.

Whereas I'm applying my argument to situations of a more philosophical nature, where there is no objectively right or wrong answer. For example, a greedy capitalist preaching about the supposed benefits and prosperity in adopting communism.

It doesn't matter if there's evidence or if she even met the bastard. She's a wahmen, and as a wahmen she "deserves to be heard and believed". Now normally I wouldn't condone crying "rape!" when it hasn't occured. But considering the current climate, maybe some false rape and sexual harassment allegations are necessary to show the left wing idiots the problem of assuming a crime or misconduct has taken place without any evidence to support it?

  3872. I've mentioned this idea in the past, but what I would like to see is augmented reality for tank drivers, commanders and gunners that basically turn the hull of the tank transparent. This could be achieved with 360 degree cameras on the outside of the tank, and a computer which process the footage into the VR headset worn by the necessary crew inside of the tank. One of the main drawbacks that tank crews have always suffered from in comparison to infantry is the lack of vision, having to resort to vision cupolas, slits, periscopes and sights to spot the enemy before being spotted themselves. With this solution, that drawback would be a thing of the past. Not sure if it will be mentioned in this video since I haven't watched it all yet, but that's an idea I've been thinking of for quite some time.

  3880. I'd propose the question to be: when does personhood begin? What defines a person? Breaking it down to it's most basic component, a person is a living entity with individual human DNA distinct from other persons DNA. A fetus fulfill all of the criteria for personhood. The fetus is alive. The fetus has a DNA distinct from both mother and father. The fetus DNA is human. Whether the fetus is "conscious" or not is irrelevant. You'll be charged with murder if you kill an unconscious or even a braindead person in a hospital. You'll also be charged with DOUBLE murder if you kill a pregnant woman REGARDLESS of how far or long her pregnancy has gotten. Stage of development is also irrelevant. That's merely a question of age. If it's illegal to kill an infant baby, despite the infant being younger than you, then killing a fetus must logically be equally illegal because the only difference is that the fetus is younger than the infant child

  3893. Well personally I'd say that it's an unfair comparison since the "fusion rolls" aren't really sushi. That's not to say that they taste bad. I've had california rolls that were delicious. But I wouldn't call it sushi. There's a somewhat different approach to flavors in Japan and the West. Many dishes in the Japanese cuisine seem to pursue subtlety and put much more emhpasis on texture. Sushi in my opinion does not taste "much", but it comes across as fresh (like the seafood version of crispy fresh vegetables or fresh fruit) and the texture is very special. Western cuisine put much more emphasis on flavours and smells. Food is supposed to have ALOT of taste in the west. Preferably several different kinds of tastes at once, because complex tastes and smells is what westerners find exciting in food. But this philosophy of cooking does not really apply to real sushi.

  3897. The same kind of "just pull yourself up by the bootstraps"-bullshit that wealthy people always use to blame poverty on the poor. The fact remains that wealthy people need a majority of poor people in order to maintain stable purchasing power of their wealth. If everybody were able to just "pull themselves up by the bootstraps", then wealthy people would suddenly find the purchasing power of their stockpiled money dwindling. And they'd NEVER accept that. Which is why they do their best to prevent others from becoming wealthy.

  3899. Calling it racism is a bit of a stretch. Accents are just funny by nature. And that woman who called it racism should note that western white people also make fun of eachothers english accents. Like americans living in the northern regions making fun of the "southern twang" of americans in the deep south. Or brits making fun of american accent and vice versa. Even in britain itself, making fun of local accents is fairly common (cockney, scot, irish, scouser, welsh etc.) especially in stand-up comedy and televised sketches. Same goes for americans and british people making fun of Australian english. Oh, and practically everyone makes fun of how germans and russians speak english as well. What non-white, non-western people need to understand about white, western culture and humour is that not all instances of impersonation and jokes around accent are hostile or insulting in nature. Part of "fitting in" in the west means having self-deprecation humor as well as having a witty jest to deliver back when someone is "taking the piss" out of you. If you run around feeling offended all the time someone makes a joke at your expense, then you'll never fit in or understand western, white people. And since we have constitutionally protected freedom of speech, it's unlikely that we'll conform to indian or eastern standards of "politeness" and culture in our own homes. But if we visit India, we're likely to "do as the romans do..."

So naturally us who live in Europe see it as quite strange how you still romanticize over the Europe that your ancestors so desperately tried to get away from.

Yet their descendants today sit and take pride in the particular nazi concentration camps they came from and romanticize over them.

Sauron had to use brute force and the threat of violence and horrible death to get the orcs and the haradrim and easterlings to join forces. And even then, there would still be the eventual split between Sarumans Uruk-hai and the Orcs of Mordor. If the cultures of middle earth required sorcerers with almost godlike powers to get these cultures to cooperate and intermingle, then it's not very multicultural.

An area where Korea was significantly lacking before coming under the rule and culture of the U.S (by extension western European culture). A country being "developed" is not something to brag about in the grand scheme of things, since development is rather relative and only bottles down to how much corporate funds having been invested in the private market if a single country. There was a time when muslim, middle eastern countries were significantly more "developed" than Korea. Yet look at the same muslim countries now. Development comes and goes. Like Empires rise and fall. What matters is the heritage that stands the test of time and survive regardless of relative development. Like inventions that help all of mankind and are being used by all of mankind with the means to.

One minute intent matters, the next minute: intent is irrelevant. Derp, logic? The fact of the matter is: traffic still kills more people every year. I doubt the dead people really care if they die due to traffic or due to getting shot, because they'll still be dead either way. And no, most gun fatalities aren't intentional but accidental. You haven't even bothered to study the statistics that you feebly try to back up your argument with. Pathetic. IF guns are so bad, why doesn't South Korea just abandon every single gun and piece of artillery in the entire country? I'm sure Kim Jong-Un would be delighted. :)

Yuri S: So you're willing to accept the fact that skin tone can drastically vary between human beings of different race, as well as hair texture, hair density, average height and weight, resistance and susceptibility to various diseases, abilities to digest certain types of food (white people can digest dairy productsmore effectively than black people can), facial bone structure and skull shape etc. But suggest that there might also be a slight difference in brain function (and even back it up with the scientific findings in the Bell Curve) and it's all just "crazy"? Hate to break it to you snowflake, but humans ARE different from eachother in terms of race. We've even made discoveries that suggest that black people and white people don't even originate from the same species of hominids. That's right! We've found fossils of hominids in Europe dating back far longer than the supposed homo sapiens of the African continent and their supposed migration across the world and that all humans originate from African hominids. You need to catch up with the times and read more about these recent scientific discoveries (the latest of which happened in 2016) and not just sit content with the "knowledge" that they taught you in grade school. Science updates itself continually. That's what science is about.

Leo Volont: Because an active shooter doesn't carry their rifle slung across their back, they carry it with one hand on the pistol grip and the other on the handguard with the buttstock close to the shoulder. But then again you're clearly not a law enforcement officer or a military man so I wouldn't expect you to know the difference because you're just irrationally afraid of all guns, regardless of how they're carried.

Calling archer a "british product" is about as dumb as saying that Volvo is a Chinese product. Investment companies trade in stocks across national borders. Nothing new under the sun.

You're basically doing George Soros' bidding, cupcake. 😉 I see that you neglected to make any counter-arguments to my claims. But please do indulge me with your galaxy brained take on this: In what universe does it make sense for Russia to just allow Nato to set up nuclear missile silos right next to the Russian border? I mean, even if you hate Putin, you can't honestly say that it's in either his interests or the interests of any russian citizen whatsoever, now can you? You might also want to keep in mind that Nato promised not to move further east than eastern germany. We all know how that promise went. So in what universe does it make sense for Russia to just stand by and watch as country after country closer and closer to their border gets turned into a Nato puppet? Are you seriously going to make the claim that Nato has only "the best of intentions" and would NEVER do anything that might threaten Russian sovreignty if given the chance? 🤣

  3952. For being money men, I have to say that studio execs kind of suck at it. Ask any wallstreet stock trader and they'll hammer in the importance of diversifying your portfolio rather than putting all the proverbial eggs in one basket. Sometimes investments will yield high returns. Sometimes they'll yield losses. But when you placed many bets all across the board, the profits usually outweigh the losses in the long run. Hollywood execs just don't seem to grasp this.

  3957. Whomever believed that Russia was losing in Ukraine is an idiot. To put things into perspective: The Ukrainians are currently firing between 5000-6000 artillery shells on the Russians per day all over the country. That's their upper limit. They don't have the guns or the ammunition to fire more. The Russians on the other hand are firing 50.000 artillery shells per day, which they can afford to keep up almost indefinitely. How long do you think any country can survive with 50.000 artillery shells coming at then PER DAY for months on end?

  3959. They say that vindictive capital punishment doesn't reduce crime. To that I say: it's not the point to reduce crime. Crime prevention doesn't stem from the penal system, but rather through steering young people away from crime, making sure law abiding citizens can protect themselves, and increasing security on the streets. The point of capital punishment is to benefit the victims and their loved ones. Part of the erosion of trust in society is directly linked to the fact that the "justice" system doesn't properly penalize violent offenders. People need to see that offenders get punished in order to have faith in and fostering a desire to work with the justice system.

  3972. You can have guns in the home, along with children. The important part is to teach children from an early age about gun safety and to treat guns with the respect they deserve. Juat keeping a loaded gun in a sock drawer in secret as you let your kids be "educated" about guns from movies and cartoons is where the danger lies. Also, if legislation permits, I'd recommend keeping your gun on your person in a holster rather than having it hidden in a drawer or locked away somewhere. That way you always have control over it, and it's always ready if, god forbid, you were to need it.

  3974.  @pointysidedown  There's some playover in terms of the nature of Candyman and the Cenobites from Hellraiser by virtue of both of them being more supernatural villains. However, Hellraiser goes a bit more in depth in regards to the origins of the cenobites. There's a well established explanation and internal ruleset as to why they exist and for what purpose. Candyman's existence is more mysterious. He's a revenant, but no metaphysical explanation is offered as to why he's able to terrorize the living from beyond the grave. Pinhead and the cenobites have a more revealed backstory and lore. (An actuall Hell, Leviathan and the Lament Configuratio and all that) So for a crossover, it would be hard to avoid having to shoehorn Candyman into Hellraisers lore. And I just don't feel that would be very satisfying on a personal level, since he'd end up coming across as a sidekick character to the cenobites. But that's just my personal take on it. You probably have a different one that you find satisfying.

  3980.  @CAMSLAYER13  On the genetic level, life is trying to propagate itself, that is true. Hence why I refer to life as a slow and ongoing chemical reaction. But at the same time, if you want to critically analyze lifeforms and behaviour you have to be able to make a distinction between how genes operate and how organisms and their behaviour operate. As humans who study our own biological mechanisms we know that sex is the mechanism of procreation. But on the instinctual level, we don't. Because the part of our brain anatomy that handle instincts do not contain the necessary anatomy of awareness or reasoning. Our instincts are essentially blind to the concept of cause and effect. However our instincts have evolved genetically to manifest in such a way that increase the likelyhood of procreation. For example: if sex didn't include the hormonal rewards that it currently has, then in all likelyhood, humans wouldn't have as much sex as they do and procreation would decrease, possibly leading to extinction. So sexual pleasure is one avenue of evolution that promotes procreation. So, out of the majority of times the individual engage in sex, they're not thinking "i'm going to procreate now". They're thinking "this feels good, so I want it. And i want more of it later". This can also be proven by sexual practices of humans since there's many examples of were a sexual practice couldn't possibly lead to procreation. Like fondling, oral sex, anal sex, homosexual intercourse and so on. So if sex in humans was solely devoted to procreation, then homosexuality wouldn't exist. And heterosexuality would only involve vaginal penetration and nothing else to maximize the chances of conception.

No matter your skill level or personal innate talents, you can alwaya have children and raise them right, and nothing or no one will be able to take that achievement away from you.

  3995.  @kseniiadecan335  No i'm not working for Russian media. I'm Swedish. The evidence is there for all to see. You can even find information on the Azov Batallion and the Ukranian Insurgency Army on Wikipedia. I've also seen pictures and video footage from the Euromaidan protests, with plenty of these types, wearing t-shirts with the Waffen-SS Totenkopf symbol, flying red and black banners and even flags with swastikas. The burning of the trade union house in Odessa and the casualties involved are also a matter of international news. So it's not hard to find. What I find most annoying is that hardly ANY western mainstream media has done any reporting whatsoever of what has been going on in Donbass over the past 8 years. Except just making general claims about Russia annexing these regions (even though the declaration or independence came from Separatists who lived in these regions prior to the Euromaidan). From Russian speaking friends of mine I have recieved a lot of information of how the Ukranian military would be shelling urban areas of Donbass ever since 2014, not giving any consideration of hitting civilians or note, with a result of a huge casualty rate on civilians living in Donbass and Crimea as well. But this doesn't fit the western mainstream media narrative, so zero reporting has been done on it.

  3997.  @ingridlinbohm7682  Just read about the Azov Batallion and see for yourself. It's not a russian who authored the many articles about them. And it doesn't matter if Zelensky is jewish or not, because it wouldn't be the first time where a jewish person of influence would consort with nazi groups to further their own ends, or when neo-nazis consort with jews to further their ends. The real crux of the matter is exactly how influential the neo-nazi views are in Ukraine or not. Putin's propaganda is to say that Ukraine is completely infested with neo-nazi ideology. The Ukranian propaganda either claims they do not exist, or that they do exist but that they are small and merely "tolerated". Either way, to claim that neo-nazis do not exist in Ukraine is objectively false. And what makes it worse is that even spokespeople from the Azov Batallion have themselves admitted that 10-20 % of their members hold neo-nazi views. And what makes it worse is that the Batallion has been funded by the Ukranian government since before this war took place. You'll be hard pressed to find any country in the EU or the Anglosphere where the government would ever consider to use taxpayers money to fund ANY organization with neo-nazi members in this day and age. Putin probably exaggerates the problem to serve his narrative. I'm not denying that. But at the same time, if you oppose Putin then you're really not doing yourself any favors by pretending that Neo-Nazi ideology simply doesn't exist in Ukraine or that Neo-Nazi actors aren't getting a government paycheck because they DO. And it has been going on for years.

  4000. It's important to make a distinction between abuse and corporal punishment. Punishment is not met out from anger, but as education. And should only ever be used when the child is behaving in a harmful manner (like being violent towards others or putting their own lives at risk). Some things children will need to be "traumatized" to stay away from. And they don't have the mental capacity to be reasoned with as you would with an adult. Abuse however is when the parent is using physical violence out of personal frustration and anger and takes it out on their child.

  4020. Trust me, due to how hard the establishment has indoctrinated children with LGBT-lobbyism, we're gonna see A LOT of stories of people starting out as "gay" only to realize that they are straight. Milo could be one out of many early examples of it. The idea that you can only "come out" as gay, and that makes you permanently gay is a silly notion, influenced by leftist rhetoric. The fact that Milo's mannerisms are still somewhat effeminate is no proof in and of itself that he has to be gay still. It can be a result of simply that's all he knows. Young boys knowing nothing of stoic masculinity also behave in effeminate and gender-confused ways a lot after all. If Milo has been going since childhood thinking he's gay, he won't just be able to adopt masculine mannerisms like flicking a switch.

  4035. Zasumbadji: Median household income doesn't mean anything. It doesn't take personal choices into account at all. It's about as retarded as the argument that feminists pose about the so called "wage gap" that falsely present a picture that women are discriminated and paid less money than men are for the same work. Despite the fact that all the evidence shows that men pursue higher paying jobs than women, work more hours than women, don't go on maternity leave like women do and so on, which all INVARIABLY will affect the average earnings of men in a positive way. The same reasoning applies to median income of black and white people. It doesn't mean or prove anything because it doesn't take the personal life choices, education and so on into account. And it damn sure does not qualify as proof of "oppression" or "privilge". The same goes for your retarded statement about prison sentences and penalties resulting for being a criminal. And the same also goes for "black sounding names". I don't care whether you like it or not, but names tend to be chosen by particular people, so if anyone is to blame it's stupid parents who wilfully choose to give their children negative connotations by naming them shit like Laqueesha" or "Tyrone". All this proves is that maybe black people in the U.S should stop smoking crack and holding up liquor stores as much as they do if the want better, more wellpaid lives. The black community in the U.S only has itself to blame for it's current state. Because they all have exactly the same rights and opportunities as everybody else, yet choose to squander it on rejecting mainstream society and living as criminal thugs idealizing "gangsta"-culture above education.

  4036. Zasumbadji: You have no proof that the black man in your example is being discriminated based on race. That's just an assumptionon your part, based on ideology and no facts. And regarding to crushing your statistical surveys, I just did. "Social science" has nothing to do with real science. "Social science" are fields invented by academic quacks who try to ride the coat tails lf the actual scientists in fields like physics, chemistry, medicine, engineering and biology. The actual sciences never makes assumptions based on statistical data alone, becaude actual scientists knows that to prove something, you need physicsl experimentation in controlled enviroments. But they, unlike the "social scientist" have real integrity. "social scientists" have no interest in finding out the truth of things. All of them are just political propagandists standing on soapboxes. I reject any and all conclusions of them as unscientific gibberish. And my reasons for doing so are outlined here and perfectly valid.
    2
  4037. Zasumbadji: I don't care about what I "tell the world" because when it comes to being objectively right about something as I am, the issue is not a democracy. I don't need popular approval to be right, when the right answer can be reachef with logical deduction, so I have no reason to care what "the world" assumes about me. I make my ad hominem attacks because I see you for what you are. Like all vile, disgusting social justice warriors, you are intellectually dishonest. Your only mission in any debate is to poison the well in order to further your cultural marxist agenda (which is why you chose to attack Raf for not being "woke enough", even thoug everything he said in the video was completely true, you don't care about thw truth, you only care about the implications of the truth and how "people of colour" might be "affected" by the truth) You are the kind of vile, digusting piece of shit that argues that the world should just ignore that white people are being tortured, raped and murdered by the black majority in south africa, because "historically, black people are oppressed". And that's why I hate you and would never dream of being charitable in a debate with you. You represent a cancer that needs to be cut out and burned away from society. The cancer of "social justice" and cultural marxism.
    2
  4038. Zasumbadji: I have crushed your little "library of academic texts" already. It's not about "black sounding names", it's about name connotations. For the exact same reason why "Laquesha" and "Tyrone" might be discriminated from a certain type of job, "Jim-Bob Sutton" and "Lisa-Marie Winfield" would also be discriminated from other kinds of jobs. Or do you seriously believe that a black owner of a hip, trendy new york, hip-hop nightclub would ever look twice at a job application from a dude named "Jim-Bob Sutton" straight out of Texas? I'm not saying that discrimination doesn't exist. I'm saying that discrimination based on names and identity is perfectly normal and DOES NOT affect black people in a specifically worse way than it affects everyone. You do know that black people also have names like "Martin Lawrence", "Samuel L Jackson" and "Will Smith" right? As to your implication that poverty creates crime, and that's why black people are overrepresented in crime statistics: https://cincinnatiisadump.wordpress.com/2013/07/29/crime-is-caused-by-poverty-enter-white-appalacha/
    2
  4039. Zasumbadji: You're wilfully misrepresentng my statements. I never claimed that median houshold income doesn't affect your life. I said that a study of median household income does not constitute as evidence for the notion that black people are being "oppressed". What you need to get through your thick fucking skull is that statistical surveys only show how things are. Not WHY things are the way they are. Your idea that median household incomes among black people is lower as a result of "racism and oppression" against blacks is just a subjective interpretation of why the statistics look the way they do. The statistical results themselves do not in any way or form confirm your statements or opinions about racism or discrimnation. That's what you and all those quack "social sciences" teachers need to understand about statistics, because statistics on it's own is totally meaningless since they can be used to "prove" anything using your flawed reasoning. For instance, if I relied on statistics alone, I could "prove" that ice cream is an effectice vaccine against the common cold virus, because statistically speaking the sales and consumption of ice cream spikes during parts of the year where common cold infections are at their lowest. Hence ice cream must have a positive effect against the common cold because the statistics confirms it. This is the asinine level of argumentation that you and your social justice professors are on.
    2
  4040. Zasumbadji: I haven't used logical fallacies at all. But I realize that logical deduction comes across as "fallacies" to dishonest debaters like you, more concerne about political outcomes and implications rather than the truth. Yes, median income doesn't mean anything in the context of this subject. I've clarified exactly what I meant, even though i'm absolutely sure that you didn't misinterpret me by mistake but because you are desperate to misrepresent my statements and opinions. Because you're more afraid that someone might read what I say and agree with me, as opposed to myself who doesn't give a shit about what anyone reading this might believe. You are a disgusting, filthy activist with a vile "the ends justify the means"-attiude. Your only purpose for coming to this comment section was to spread cultural marxist propaganda. You are not a scientist. You are not neutral to the consequences of findings as I am. No, the "famous" PhD's clearly do not understand the idea of spurrious correlartions because every single joke of a paper they publish contain droves of spurrious correlations and politically motivated interpretations of statstics. We're at a point where they don't even try to hide it anymore. Which incidentally is why you see actual college professors in the "social sciences" joining up with left-wing terrorists like antifa, showinh up to political rallies with the sole goal of beating people up because they might have conservative views, and smashing store windows. Look up names like Eric Clanton and Yvette Fellarca. Both "social sciences" professors and staff, and BOTH caught and convicted for assault of political opponents with video footage evidence spread all over the internet for the entire world to see. These are the types of people you use as a "source". Their "scientific" work never held up to begin with, and you may note that actual scientists in the natural sciences and engineering collectively laugh at the methods and "research" of "social scientists". If they tried their flawed, politically motivated methodology in physics class, they would be laughed out of the classroom.

Once you've made your own, you don't really feel like going back to the regular storebought brands. I guarantee it.

If you make the argument that governments are necessary, since people rely on them, then you can't condemn a man like Victor Bout, when his actions are no different from the governments actions.

"Legality" is simply the rules laid down by the most powerful mafia groups in the world which they expecr weaker mafia groups to follow. Governments pass immoral laws all the time. Yet you don't argue for the deconstruction of the government.

  4065. Brody U.S: climate change is inevitable. With or without human involvement. The climate has changed several times throughout earth's history. It's never been "for the worse", and it isn't "for the worse" now either. We're also not the first species on the planet that were capable of influencing climate change (the dinosaurs did before us, and several species of plankton and algae did as well) Like in the past, current species will have to adapt or die. That's the way evolution works. Thankfully we're quite good at building machines that helps us adapt to new enviroments. If we can use machines and technology to put people in outer space, in the deepest of seas and in the coldest, highest altitudes imaginable on earth, then we can damn sure adapt to the enviromental standards brought about by some minor climate change. Your enviromentalist doomsday prophecies are neither new, nor factually correct.

  4066. Brody U.S.: Dude... You do realize that about 99 % of all the animal and plant species throughout the history of the earth is extinct today, right? Mass extinction is not an exception but a norm.
    2
  4067. Brody U.S.: All principles I have cited are from actual Darwinian principles. Which is why I don't engage in favouritism even of my own species. Species come and go. Some because they can't adapt to climate change, and some because they can't adapt to competing with the lifestyle habits of other, more successful species. That's the way nature works. Your ideology is entirely unnatural because you're actively looking to preserve the climate and the species in their current form. This ideology is an outright perversion against nature. Nature has always been and will always be in a constant state of change. Maintaining a "status quo" is not natural at all.

In the beginning, anyone could broadcast almost anything through youtube. And youtube had to stew this way for years before becoming as big as it is right now. Google didn't build youtube into a giant community, they simply bought the rights for the giant community in one single business deal.

And the same situation is true in western societies. A white person applying for social welfare or any other forn or government aid is almost always denied, whereas brown people applying are granted welfare by default, because they're "poor poor immigrants".

If you have a culture that makes parents feel this way, then regardless of how great the culture may be in other aspects, something has to change.

All part of the never-ending, self-imposed german penance for World War 2 which they seek to subject every ethnic german citizen to.

  4097. The gist to take away from the german tanks is this: individually they were top of the line engineering made manifest. Many advanced and sophisticated features and powerful weaponry. But logistically speaking, they were difficult to maintain and keep running. They lacked the simplicity desired in manufacturing and maintenance alike, which tanks like the Sherman and a couple of soviet tanks enjoyed. So while american and soviet tanks had difficulties dealing with german tanks 1v1, the americans and soviet tank factories could simply spit out more tanks at a faster rate than the german factories could.

But at the same time, when Hells Angels and Bandidos chapters ruled the streets, they would keep foreign crime syndicates down hard. Nowadays when HA and Bandidos are mostly out of the picture, you have african and middle eastern gangs running around town, and the cops can't contain the violence and mayhem whatsoever.

  4113. If they desperately wanted people of colour taking center stage... Why couldn't they have made Lord of the Rings but set in a different cultural mythology? Plenty or movies have been handled that way in the past and nobody had any reason to object. Think of Akira Kurosawas film Yojimbo. It's the same story as the Spaghetti Western "A Fistful of Dollars". And also the same premise as "Last Man Standing". The only difference being that Yojimbo is set in feudal Japan, A Fistful of Dollars is set in the wild west, and Last Man Standing is set during the Prohibition era. All three films are good. All three films feel original, even though they ate based on the same story and premise. So for LotR, they could've done something like a setting inspired by Tribal African mythology. Same story, same premise, but different settings and characters. I would've given it a chance even if I'd recognized their PC reasoning for choosing the setting. Ancient african tribes have a rich mythological culture that is way too ignored and overlooked by Hollywood, so if anything it would've come across as something new and fresh to a wide audience. But of course, that would be the intelligent approach. And we all know that lefty activists in the industry are only focused on destroying and altering the white man's culture in their political turf war.

So society can easily cut out this bloated middle man we call "government" and pay the private contractors directly and save billions.

  4137. You do have rights and freedoms in The Federation though. Like Johnny's parents. They are wealthy and well off, but not citizens. Which is why Johnny's father oppose his son enlisting. The thing about The Federation is that everyone have access to basic freedoms, like freedom of speech, religion etc. But in order to wield political authority through the vote, you have to prove your worthiness of being a citizen by making a personal sacrifice in service of The Federation. Also, the film suggests that military service is the only way to become a citizens, but that's not really the case. A person can spend their civic service doing other things from volunteering for medical trials to cleaning streets and hauling trash. But the film wouldn't be very exciting if Johnny spent the duration of the film hauling trash, or Carmen trying out experimental drugs.

  4139. I'm not so sure forward placed eyes are a requirement for predators. For instance the eyes of many shark species are placed more to the sides than in mammalian predators. And while some sharks have very acute vision, many have quite poor eyesight. But they are stilll some of the most effective and proven predators in the sea because they have other senses that let's them effectively home in on prey even in distances much more vast than land based predators. The can detect the smell of a drop of blood kilometers away (a feat even most land based predators would have difficulties to do), and they also have sensory organs detecting differences in ambient pressure and bioelectrically sensitive organs, which lets them swim through cramped an narrow coral reefs in complete darkness where their eyes render them visually blind.

  4141. Heavy Rotation: I agree. South Korea and Japan sadly seems to have been stricken with "the grass is always greener"-complex regarding the west. Many of them idealize and fetischize the west in a very undeserved way, even to the point where they don't appreciate their own, unique facial features, hair and such. Personally I blame the long standing culture of conformity in east asia that still has a bit too tight grip on the Japanese and Korean societies. To a japanese or a korean person, the west must seem very individualistic because western culture celebrates the independent thinker and personality and those who challenges social taboos. I'm convinced that in many korean and japanese citizens there are very individualistic personalities that want to express themselves, but they can't because both societies are traditionally very conformist. So people grow displeased with their own societies and culture, which manifests itself in an obsession and fetishizing of the foreign culture that seems more ideal. I don't mean to be arrogant when I say it. I don't presume to tell other societies what they should do, because as a nationalist I have respect for national sovreignty. But, I would humbly suggest that maybe Koreans and Japanese people need to take a hard look at their culture of conformity and ask themselves if it actually makes them happy in life and if there is room for any adjustments to it that allows individuals to express themselves more freely in terms of ideas, clothing, hair etc. I'm not saying it has to be so overdone like it is here in the west (because we have major societal problems in the west that stems from the pursuit of individualism), but a slight adjustment might be worth trying out.

  4144. "The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory. The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control. The world is rudderless." -Alan Moore

  4145. That's not to say that there aren't special interest groups trying to exert their interests and ambitions on the world. The point, I think, that Moore is trying to make is that none of the interest groups are really in control of global affairs, as much as they'd like to be.

  4148.  @deadheart556  I never said you can rely on cops. The difference between your examples and actual confiscation of firearms bottles down to the fact that you don't have a constitutional right to not get pulled over and having your car searched. And because they're usually looking for drugs and not guns while doing it. (and once again: you have no constitutional right to possess or use illegal substances) But I'll tell you this: I won't hold it against you if you mow any cops down who try to confiscate your firearms. That's just self defense against tyranny in my book.

  4149. It might see some applications if they develop powered exo skeletons for infantry somtime in the future. I'm thinking that if the exo skeleton is armored, then it's not a certainty that the operator will have sufficient manual dexterity to allow for directly operating the action of a weapon. Especially if the weapon is mounted on the outside of the frame of the exo skeleton.

  4150. Artisanal food can go way over board as well imo. Like when the serving is extremely tiny, but artistically presented. Treated as if it's a mere decoration of the plate it's served on rather than food intended to please the senses and fill your belly. That's why I prefer food that's more on the "homely" part of the scale. Technically, beef and guinness stew would also be "slop" of sorts. But it's delicious, filling and makes you think of a homecooked meal when you see it and smell it.

  4154. I'm not on board with banning parties on ideological grounds. A principled democracy has to accept the risk of getting voted out, even if it means that communists or national socialists end up getting voted into power and then proceeds to abolishing democracy. That said, the state should reserve powers for dealing with radicalist groups who don't go through the democratic process to get into public office first. You need police with authority to quell violent riots and civil unrest. I don't care if it means summary arrests, dispersing "protesters" or using violence, up to lethal violence to get them to stop. At the same time, the police must be trained in picking out the trouble makers from the larger herds of protesters, otherwise every protest can be sabotaged by infiltrators who show up to cause trouble in order to trigger a response from the police to disperse every single protest that takes place. I don't care how you do it. Even if you have to put police snipers on the rooftops to shoot individuals who start breaking windows or setting fires. The full force of the state must come down like a ton of bricks on anyone who breaks the law during a protest.

  4160. Lori Hopkins: I've seen them too, but I still believe it is kind of generational. The older women in these marches aren't usually regular products of their time. Usually, they're typically unsuccessful women in the marriage and family department. Childless "progressives" who bought seriously into political activism in their college years and stayed within politics or journalism rather than pursuing a husband and having children. They're not very representative for the generation at large, since most women of the same age are usually married with children right now. However with the current generation, the regressive feminism has become mainstream and the young women who claim NOT to be rampant feminists are the exceptions. Which is why the development have been quite worrying. And you're right of course about physical abuse. Hitting your spouse is never acceptable or excusable. I don't care how much personal shit one might've gone through. It seems that your situation was as I expected though. Injury or sickness, you have to get help and work towards getting better. It's not okay to just regress into becoming an invalid man-child and expect to be taken care of by your spouse.

  4171. Well, without getting graphic... I've slept with a few women who were into a degree of rough sex, and getting their hair pulled during... Well I'll leave the rest to your imagination, was a bit of a turn on for them. But they weren't into hairpulling as a source of pain, but because they enjoy the feeling of being under control. So I had to take care in grabbing enough hair so as not to cause serious pain or discomfort. If I don't grab onto enough of their hair, then it would probably have hurt. But grappling enough hair, then trust me: you're not going to rip it all out (a few strands might come loose, but not a lot)... Despite being engaged in some "vigorous movement" at the same time. :P

  4174. One thing to keep in mind about selective breeding of crops, for the most part crops have been selectively bred to increase yield.

  4192. One thing I think most people miss is that morality is an innovation, just like technology. We tend to view technology as the only kind of innovation, but ideas about morality also has to undergo development through debates and study. To us with our modern systems of morality, ancient Romans might be considered "evil". But judging ancient Romans based on their less developed morality is like judging them because they hadn't yet developed electricity. Romans had not yet started to ponder over moral issues concerning power and authority the way we have. To them, it was natural that emperors or powerful members of the senate acted as autocrats, and even wielding the power over life and death of their subordinates. This mindset lived on for hundreds of years. It is only until very recently that people took a hard look at these ideas and started to question the limits to a public official's authority, and whether it should really be withn their means to subject subordinates to death and torture in order to get things their way.

Arnoursmithing isn't exactly a quick affair, but labourious and time consuming which ramps up the price significantly. Armour also needs to be custom tailored for the wearer, which further adds to the price. Armoursmiths are not exactly common around the world either since it's not a mainstream industry, so due to the rarity of their skills, the price hikes even further. If you compared that to simply vaccuforming sheets of plastic into pieces or armour, where the material is dirt cheap and no special skills are required to accomplish it, movie producers will opt for this option any day of the week rather than trying to outfit every single extra (many if which might only appear in shots that are less than a second long) with real steel armour.

A 9mm will mess you up. But a 5.7 will mess you up even while wearing body armour with a rating below NIJ III and IV

  4234. Theoretically, women could take away rights from men through a matriarchy. For example through social engineering whereby women raise boys from childhood into weak "mama's boys" away from any influence of external, adult men. They'll be more pliable to womens influence when they grow up that way. There's also some examples of this in nature, like with Elephant herds being ruled over by a matriarch. Bull elephants are larger and stronger than female matriarchs, but bull elephants still get chased away by the matriarch and her herd whenever it isn't mating season. So a matriarch exerting enough social control over a large group of females and juvenile males can run the show regardless of the wishes of bigger elephant males. However this proposition would be very machiavellian and inhumane and arguably not a way that's healthy for a human society because our human psychology is not identical to that of elephants.

  4246.  @allangibson2408  Yes. Also, while I can't confirm the source. I heard about some crazy antics with the M2 in Vietnam. Apparently someoned had mounted a scope to an M2 and was able to use it for highly accurate long range shots by being gentle with the trigger so as to only fire it in a semi auto fashion. While this is a rumour I can't substantiate, i'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt due to the ballistic properties of the .50 BMG cartridge and general knowledge about the accuracy of the M2 platform. Will it be as "portable" as an M82 using the same cartridge? No, of course not. Do I believe that you could, theoretically hit targets at ranges similar to what you can do with an M82 if you put a magnified scope onto an M2? I'll have to say yes.

  4251. Poland is like CNN when it comes to blaming russia for everything that happens under the sun. Russia couldn't care less about illegal immigration to Europe. Lukashenko is a power mad dictator who has more than enough reasons to try and blackmail the EU just like Erdogan did. Not even Putin is particularly fond of Lukashenko since Lukashenko has a habit of flipping out over the slightest provokation and is just as likely to accuse Russia of illegally infiltrating Belarus as he is accusing the EU for similar stunts.

  4255. The film diverged from the source material heavily in terms of military practicality. For starters, the "Mobile Infantry" in the book were called "Mobile Infantry" because they were equipped with massive powered exoskeletons, which could even hurl nukes at the enemy and doing stuff like orbital drops from a starship onto a planet surface. But Verhoeven either didn't have the budget to showcase this, or he simply just wanted to make fun of the source material and opted for completely idiotic behaviours of the military characters, like massed infantry or flying in close formation while under AA-fire.

  4264. I don't see what's ironic about going to russia for free speech. Russia hasn't been clamping down on free speech. If you look into it, you may note that no Russian court has demanded that any news organisation or publisher to be shut down or cease operations in Russia. The only thing the courts have done is force certain disingenous publications to disclose their financial backers and to publicly admit when they are being funded by international NGO's (like the various foundations owned by George Soros) so every reader and viewer knows where they get their money from, and can make up their own minds about whether that financial backing may influence the writings being published or not. Another issue is that Russia has banned NGO's from directing LGBT lobbyism towards children. Again, hardly a freedom of speech abuse since children should not be subjected to sexual materials and lobbyism to begin with. Freedom of speech applies to adults, not kids.

  4278. In Scandinavia, towns ending in "by" can be named after geographical features too, and also after a certain kind of industry. Like there is a borough in Stockholm called "Hammarby" so "Hammertown" or "Hammervillage". To this day there's a fair bit of industry going on there, but in the past there were plenty of smiths and ironworks in the area along with the habitats of the tradesmen. So it was most likely named after Hammers for that reason.

  4305. Not sure if he knows what a concubine is. Concubinage is a legal sexual and monogamous relationship between two people who cannot get married. Usually concubines were taken for the purpose of producing more children. A child born due to a concuninage was considered a legitimate heir, whereas a child born out of wedlock or concubinage was legally considered as a bastard and not a legitimate heir. So concubines and their children were leagues above prostitutes in social status.

  4308. 안나Anna: No, animals most certainly don't. And if "balance" was the issue, then how come child births and nativity are stagnating in pro-LGBT societies to unsustainiable levels, but the same thing is not happening in anti-LGBT societies? Suppose that your assumption was correct and that homosexuality was a phenomenon generated by a lack of balance in a population (implied overpopulation), then we wouldn't see the statistical figures of child births dropping below an average of 2 children per couple. But in practically every country that has embraced the pride-idiocy we're seeing the average drop below 2. And that is a clear sign of a dangerous population decline and a society growing old in terms of average age. This will have disastrous humanitarian effects on the countries afflicted, because the older an average population in a society gets, the more the few young people will have to work in order to finance the pensions and welfare of old people who are too old, frail and diseased to work. Or, failing that, society will simply be forced to leave it's older generation out to dry (no geriatric care to the elderly, no supvervised retiremenrt homes to help them get through their daily lives with dignity etc.) Either way, this development will have massive humanitarian reprecussions. And as we've already seen abundant proof of in both Europe and the U.S, importing uneducated migrants from the third world does not create any solution to the low fertility. It only generates more costs since the majority of migrants remain unemployed for years and even decades putting extra strain on the welfare budget, and many of them even resort to criminal behaviour, creating a further financial burden for the societies that takes them in. Given the choice of having the economy completely collapse in western countries, forcing young western citizens to work even more than they already do or leaving the elderly simply to die in pain amd anguish. OR Discouraging homosexuality because homosexuals do not lead lifestyles conducive to procreation. Then i'm sorry, i'm going to go with the latter. Homosexuals "right" to live as sexual deviants is not more important than the sustainiability and survival of our economies and societies.

But this is an example of why I consider Donald Trump to be a better candidate than Joe Biden. Both have families, but when you look at their families there's a big distinction in the way that Trump's children come across as well behaved, successful and responsible adults. Biden's son Hunter on the other hand... Well I think we all know about his exploits when information from his personal laptop got released. That's not to say that Trump is flawless or that he even meets the listed criteria I mentioned (being born in the lap of luxury and all). But I do think that the state of ones family does in some part reflect on your suitability for public office. If your children are all drug abusers, felons or just general ne'er do wells, perhaps such a person should reconsider their candidacy.

  4338. Jack Murphy was a certified lunatic long before this meltdown. For example he unironically wrote articles about how rape is "man's gift to women" and basically saying that women enjoy to be raped. Also, some pointers for any people who take advice from "the manosphere" and may come across Jack Murphy-like people in it: a real alpha male doesn't constantly have to tell everyone that he's an alpha male. Real alpha males are certainly assertive and have a domineering presence, yes. But they're rarely braggarts and loudmouths. Their capacity to be assertive and take charge is usually more of an unspoken behaviour that doesn't contain verbal rationalization or excuses. So if you are looking for a role model and feel insecure and misguided, look to men who you just naturally look up to without them directly telling you why they're so great and alpha all the time.

  4349. I don't think Zorg actually knew that he was working for the evil entity or that the evil entity existed at all. After all, all he knows of the evil entity is the pseudonym "Mr Shadow". And he's probably only dealt with him over the phone. To Zorg, "Mr Shadow" is a kind of Kayser Soze or Mr Gold. Zorg assumes he's a massively powerful business magnate of some kind, but one that pulls strings from the shadows, never revealing his true identity to the public. "Mr Shadow" has also probably made displays of his influence, and Zorg saw it and realized that it's more far reaching and wealthy than his own, which compels Zorg to seek to ingratiate himself with Shadow.

But you know jack shit about military history if you think that every army in every war engaged in wholesale slaughter of civilians or violated women on sight. So it demonstrably makes a difference how the enemy troops view the civilians in how they behave towards them. But if you arm civilians and use civilians to attack enemy troops with, then enemy troops will always regard all civilians as hostiles. The job of a civilian is to get the hell out of the warzones and let the military forces fight. But you, being an unethical and dishonourable monster thinks it's better to force civilians to fight and paint giant targets on their inexperienced and militarily usless backs just to protect some oligarch presidents useless hide.

  4354.  @vidard9863  See the Vietnam war or the war in Iraq for examples and stop being ignorant. In the beginning of the Vietnam war, U.S troops were not running around committing atrocities. If they saw some vietnamese kids running around nearby, they viewed them as just harmless kids. But then the scumbags of the Vietcong started using children and women in their tactics, for example by using them as suicide bombers. Counting cynically on the american troops to not see the harm coming before it was too late. After a bunch of american troops had gotten killed by child suicide bombers, they stopped giving af and treated every civilian man, woman and child as a potential hostile, with massive civilian casualties as a result.

But this rhetoric seeks to turn bystanders into "co-guilty" offenders if they do not report or chastise the behaviour of others. It's just as twisted as victim blaming. If you want to be "proactive" about bystanders speaking out, you do it through making bystanders feeling safe to speak out and that they're doing something positive by it. Lumping bystanders together with offenders if they don't stop or intervene against the offenders will just make more people look the other way and not wanting to get involved.

A great soldier who simply had the misfortune of fighting for a morally corrupt side. But as any soldier knows: it's not their place to question elected officials. Their job is to be loyal to the state and supply violence wherever the state wills it in times of war.

If race is taught, then how do you expect to get rid for racism by perpatually teaching children about race? If race and racism is taught, it means that children aren't born with it. If they're not born with it, then refraining from teaching it would be the only way to stop perpetuating it. So what these morons are doing is directly counterproductive to the goals they claim to have.

  4388.  @EvidensInsania : What a load of tripe. First of all, that's why vietnam turned into a humiliating defeat and a giant shitshow for the americans, because troops could no longer follow orders of their superiors without second guessing them. A chain of command does not work properly if every low ranking subordinate has to question and second guess the orders they recieve of whether they are "lawful" or not. No soldier is ever guilty of warcrimes if he or she was acting upon orders given by a superior officer. Responsibility goes UP the chain lf command. Not down. The only exception is when a soldier acts on their own accord or deviate from orders given. As to the ridiculous notion that americans and brits "refused unlawful orders" during WWII. Tell that to all the carpet bombed hospitals and civilian population centers that british and american airmen destroyed. No side in WWII is innocent of warcrime. Only germans are the only people having to pay for them because they lost.
    2
  4389.  @EvidensInsania : You don't have right to "free will" as a soldier during times of war. Not in ANY army in the world. Lot western, not eastern, none. If you tried exercising your "free will" by refusing to follow orders in wartime, you were looking at summary execution for desertion or even treason. Being given the "choice" to carry out "unlawful" orders or being executed is not a choice. It's coercion. And that same coercive mechanism is built into every military in the world today. I doubt YOU would've chosen to be executed over following unlawful orders. And you wouldn't even have given it a second thought.

  4390.  @EvidensInsania : For fuck sake just look at the british armed forces and the "I am soldier x" debacle. Here we have loyal servicemen being kicked out of the armed forces... For being in a photograph with a celebrity. That's how much a serviceman's "free will" is worth to the army and the government running it. If even Britains military is willing to dishonorably discharge servicemen for such a completely benign and perfectly legal act, what the hell do you think the nazi regime would do to it's own servicemen for refusing to follow orders in a time of war?

But you're great at swooping in when the majority of the fighting is already done, and then somehow delude yourself into thinking that you "saved" everyone. :) Kind of fun to watch for someone who actually studies history.

  4409. Vikings did not create Sweden. Sweden was created after the conversion to christianity. When vikings still ruled the land, the area was basically just a bunch of separate and feuding villages. Vikings also brought about the foreign influence because sadly their culture did not contain any core values about building nation states or conserving their own culture, but was mostly about ruthless cunning and accumulation of wealth. Greed lead to the downfall of vikings. As it has with many other ancient civilizations.

  4411. Working a regular job like his mother is kind of unlikely to lead to success. What could have been done however is Tony quitting the drug business while he was ahead. After he had secured a decent amount of money, he could've laundered it and invested it into more legitimate businesses, and handed over the reigns of the drug trade to one of his subordinates or associates, brokering a deal whereby he gives them all the contacts and make all the proper introductions and then bows out of dealing in drugs entirely. In fact, quite a few successful criminals did just that. The smart ones recognize that gang wars and the risk of criminal prosecution is really not very good for business. So trying to set up a legitimate enterprise is in their best interest. But with Tony, it's not about securing a future. To him, it was all very personal.

See a lot of the time content creators will take on sponsors who only deliver to, or operate in the U.S which is a shame since a lot of European viewers miss out on the deals and discounts. So it would be a good idea to make a point of probing a sponsor to see if they offer their goods and services globally, or if they only cater to the american market.

But if CCP agents can recognize people who would allow themselves to be interviewed in a video like this and they express criticism towards the CCP, the people being interviewed who live IN CHINA might be punished for speaking to the foreign press in a negative manner about the CCP. And every Chinese person knows it. So you can never trust anything they say in any interview unless the reporters mask their identities completely and protect them. It is dangerous for them to truly speak their mind because the CCP are communist dictators who hold the entire population hostage.

Right now we're stagnant because the only adversaries we have to fight are ourselves.

Both Naginata and Yari are polearms, but the blade of a Naginata, from my understanding, is basically a sword that required swordsmithing techniques to manufacture. The spear tip of the yari however is much simpler in shape from the looks of it and may have just been a piece of sharpened steel.

But doing a proportional comparison in terms of wealth, influence and military power, Ancient Rome at it's height easily dwarfed modern U.S. The Roman Empire, for all intents and purposes, WAS the known world at the time.

  4444. Some ideas that came to mind: wouldn't it be more effective bashing the opponent with the blunt side of the katana instead of attempting a murder stroke? From my experience with the swords, I felt that the handle of a Katana usually feels lighter on account of the very small handguard, whereas the handle-end of a crossguard sword is a bit heavier so you'd have more of an impact with a crossguard sword because of it. Also, due to the lighter handle of a katana, more mass seems to be concentrated on the blade itself, which probably results in more kinetic energy. Second: weak spots on samurai armour: now if we disregard the openings in the armor for a moment: that silk cording holding the armour fastened to the wearer look awfully exposed to me compared to the buckles and straps of full plate European armour. Wouldn't it be plausible that you might be able to slice through the silk cording if you tried to cut at these areas on your opponent and thereby making his armour come loose?

  4446.  @julietfischer5056  True. But not enough productions do. And second, being on friendly terms with a couple of historians and archeologists, I've got a bit of insight into the academic practices of these disciplines of study. The problem is that movie and tv-series producers often turn to academics as consultants. Now the academics often knows a lot about the specific fields they specialize in, but unfortunately... There's not that many academics who genuinely specialize in things like swordfighting, medieval and ancient weapons and armour. The truth is, most historians are excited by very... Well "boring" things about history. Just last week I was talking to a historian I know who had come back from a work trip to germany and she told me that she had to study german for the trip. Now if I had been a historian, I'd probably have wanted to look at exhibits of germanic armour, swords and historical reenactments of battles and such and learn as much as possible that way. But what did she do? Study old tomes from medieval times regarding trade relations and taxation between the kingdoms of germany and the baltic states... Now if you're really nerdy about the subject of medieval trade relations, it's probably very interesting. But most normal people are excited about knights in armour fighting in medieval battles. Incidentally this is also what most films and tv-series are about (I doubt anyone would be particularly excited about a film being produced that was basically a medieval version of the film Wall Street) But not many historians seem to want to study these particular subjects that interests most normal people. And even the few academics that actually DO specialize in arms and armour... Rarely care much for the practical details of fighting while using them. They have encyclopaedic knowledge about their origins, their manufacture, and sometimes even which people in history wore a certain set of armour or wielded a particular sword. But when it comes to the business of HOW they were used, many of the academics don't really care. Finding people who really care and are genuinely interested in the fighting and practical aspects of medieval warfare and culture, you're more likely to find them among the "sword and hema-nerds" (like Metatron, Skallagrim, Shadiversity, Matt Easton, Theing Trand and the others) than you are looking up various historians. But movie and tv-series producers don't understand that. They think that the universities are the proper place to find a person knowing about these things, when they really should be looking at youtube or various hema practicioner clubs.

Check the laws of any western country. There is no legislation or government institution whatsoever that explicitly target or discriminate against blacks, latinos, asians or any other race. There are however plenty of so called "diversity initiatives" in both workplaces and seats of education where the institutionalized policies actively discriminate against white people through things like "affirmative action" and "racial quotas". Law and policy is the ultimate reflection of the culture in society. And in todays western society it's proven beyond a doubt that white people are the biggest victims of institutionalized racism today.

  4461.  @pepcozz8519 : Those people aren't helped either. I live in a country that used to have high welfare standards for old and sick people. But that standard has severely declined due to mass migration. Because when you import hundreds of thousands of people from third world countries with low IQ's and no reading or writing skills, they don't instantly become new taxpayers. They become needy of social welfare themselves. That money has to come from somewhere, so the pro-immigrant governments do what they have done in my country: they dip into the funds that used to go to old and sick people in need, so old and sick people are left with reduced or even no aid whatsoever. So tell me, why should the working class, and the old and the sick be in favor of mass migration? They have no rational reason whatsoever to be in favor of mass migration. Yet you seem to think that people "should" welcome the migrants with open arms.

  4462.  @pepcozz8519 : Yes we do have a better option. Hungary has put one in place as we speak: incentivize natives to start their own families.

And as I already said: there is no such thing as a "labour shortage" in the western world because every single white, western country has a native population with involuntary unemployment. (that is people without jobs who would like to have a job). Immigration should only ever be allowed when the involuntary unemployment rate is ZERO, and the industries still require more workers. The needs and rights of natives should ALWAYS come before whatever needs and rights that immigrants want satisfied.

  4477. I'd only go so far as to say that the government should probably seek to preserve art deemed as historically and culturally significant (statues, paintings and such from bygone eras). But never fund or support contemporary art. The market and the public should be responsible for determining which artists deserve funding and which do not. Eventually some of the works of a successful artist may be deemed historically and culturally significant. But such a review should only happen after the artist is dead.

  4482. AirBnB is responsible for a lot of this. They've made it so entrepeneurs buy up housing to rent out short term to tourists rather than having having natives living in them. Naturally AirBnB prices for housing are far above the average wage levels of the natives as well. Tourists should live in hotels for their stay, not in AirBnB apartments. The Spanish government can also easily fix the problem by banning AirBnB and demand that landlords rent out housing for at least six months at a time.

  4493.  @Eidolon1andOnly  Actually no, the unions who succumb to Marxist ideals are usually the ones considered to be failures, since they operate on false pretenses. In my nations history, the unions have mostly had clear goals in mind about securing workers rights and making sure that the pay raises to the employees match the success of the company overall. Their goal isn't to "seize the means of production" but to ensure that workers are paid their fair share, and don't end up getting stiffed of what they are owed. If you're gonna complain about some unions being infiltrated by marxists, then where are your complaints about employers resorting to unethical business practices who still end up staying in business and turning handsome profits despite their misdeeds? Because the latter is far more common than the former. The free market fairy is absolute shit at sanitizing the market from bad actors.
    2
  4494.  @justonecornetto80  Maybe so, but that's not a reason to dismiss trade unions altogether. Normally a contract with a trade union ensures security for the employer as well. The contract stipulates that workers don't go on strikes or engage in a challenge against the employer for the duration of the contract. Employees who are treated fairly don't go on strikes or unionize. It's really that simple. And as for bringing the economy to it's knees: cry me a river. Unethical employers don't respond to "peaceful" action. If you're not hurting wallets, you never get them to listen. They only understand the language of money and if your action don't cause them to lose money, they have no incentive to change.

  4499. TrustyCane: No, it's not "betrayal" because every single game studio is working on a limited timeframe. To produce a game you need a budget. That budget comes from investors or through bankloans. But investors always demand a return on their investment within a specific timeframe, and bankloans have to be paid off or the interest rates will offset amy profits that your studio hoped to gain from the game. If your timeframe is too long, then you're forced to take a higher, uncompetitive price for the game on release, or you'll have a hard time attracting investors because investors never want to leave large sums of money out there "floating" for long periods of time. You're clearly speaking as an annoyed gamer with no insight into how funding of game development works. So stop being so entitled and be happy that the studio is making patches at all (they are actually well within their rights to flat out refuse releasing patches and bugfixes after the game has been released) Oh and calling KCD "empty of love" is just categorically false. It's evident that the developers really loved the subject matter and poured a lot of heart and soul into their game, especially from such a small studio as Warhorse.

  4500. Ever heard about the Vipeholm Expermients in Sweden? They were basically a series of experiments taking place at Vipeholm Hospital for the Intellectually Disabled in Lund, Sweden during the years 1945–1955. They wanted to study the effects of dental caries and tooth decay, and whether sugar would contribute to it or not. So they forcefed intellectually disabled patients a kind of specially made taffy that had several times more sugar than normal sweets and which was also extremely sticky and basically just observed how the teeth rotted out of the skulls of the poor test subjects, causing them extreme pain and discomfort. Since they were also put on this taffy diet to hasten the effects of tooth decay, test subjects were sometimes not given anything at all to eat but the taffy, causing them to get sick in other ways. The test subjects, being labelled as "uneducatable retards" by the hospital staff were also extremely dehumanized too. To the point where if they developed secondary complications for the experiments, like getting sick with pneumonia or various infections, they didn't want to "waste treatment" on them, so many succumbed and died to such diseases under the care of the scientists. What makes it all worse is that the scientists went out of their way to find new test subjects to continue the experiments, going so far as to lie to families of children with mental disabilites, telling them that they would get treatment for their ailments at Vipeholm, when in reality they were being sent there to be tortured and probably die. These experiments weren't some "black project" of the government or even the military. They were sponsored and conducted primarily by the sugar industry and the dentist association in Sweden at the time. So I guess what we can take away from this is: histories of horrifying human experiments can be found almost anywhere. Asking around the world about their views of Sweden as a country, most people believe it's a small, peaceful and progressive country with a great emphasis on human rights. It doesn't have a history of being a major combatant in recent wars (not even WWII since it stayed officially neutral) like the usual suspects: The USSR, U.S, Great Britan and Japan. Yet these things took place in Sweden, and they even continued beyond the revalations of what the Nazis did to people in their camps. And to this day, nobody has been prosecuted or seen the inside of a jail cell for these crimes. Another thing to take away from it is what private interests lead to if being left without regulation or intervention from the government. Hard to imagine people peddling sugar and sweets to engage in medically unethical human experiments on mentally challenged people, but here we are.

If you've got a smoking hot body, then seeing more of it might make me think it's arousing. But that's about the only sentiment I have towards it. Looks kind of nice with push-up bras though, since it creates a nice cleavage. But it doesn't look very comfortable. But we all sometimes wear clothes that aren't comfortable for the sake of aesthetics. Wearing a formal three piece dress suit as a man isn't very comfortable either. Especially not the jacket since it really restricts your freedom of movement. But for some occasions it's warranted because it looks pleasing to the eye, so you suck it up and wear it anyway.

  4532. While the nationalist support of south korean players is commendable, I can't help but feel that this is a step in the right direction. Sports are a spectacle for the people. Not for rulers of countries. Including north korean athletes under the same flag is not the same as including Kim Jong Un. We have to keep in mind that the north korean people aren't that different from the south korean people. They are the same people. It's just that Kim Jong Un and his military arm is holding the north korean people as prisoners in his regime. And they wish to do EVERYTHING to reinforce the idea that north koreans are different from south koreans. Therefore, if north korean athletes compete in the same team as south korean athletes, it will help undermine the ideas that Kim Jong Un is trying to indoctrinate the north korean people into. Therefore, I feel that I have to ask south koreans to adopt an inclusive mindset of the north korean athletes, and by extention the people living in north korea. The more you show them that you are brothers whenever you can, the harder it will be for Kim Jong Un to try and convince north koreans that your are sworn enemies.

Whay the msm journo's and NGO's are complaining about is the fact that Russian courts have ordered some of them that they have to disclose their status as foreign agents. Which is completely fair since all of them who have been served with this court order are on the payroll of the usual suspects (George Soros, American media conglomerates etc.) How "evil" and "censorious" it is too force smear merchants to disclose who's paying them, right? 🤣 I could only dream of having such enforced transparency in the West.

  4560.  @-smp-scientificmethodpersp838  If you consider "counting" as being mathematics then sure. But at the same time, back when the early proto-humans were spreading across the world, there was no "Africa", because that landmass that later became Africa was attached to the Americas and Asia. Then these landmasses split, and different proto-human and human societies evolved separately from the African humans, and they definitely developed separate methods or counting and doing mathematics. So saying that "Africa taught the world math" is a bit far fetched because the hominids originating out of the area that later became Africa, that migrated across the world and some even interbreeding with other hominid species (like the neanderthal and homo sapiens creating hybrids which eventually became caucasians), is not exactly the same thing as one civilization exporting knowledge to another.

  4569. Gibbons3457: All communists in history has argued the exact same thing. That they're "fighting for the little guy",the "labourers", the "disenfranchised", the "proletariat" against the evil capital owners. So yes, all left wing parties are inherently based on and influenced by communism. Trying to deny this just proves your lack of education in political history.

  4576.  @mariadavies7135  Clearly you're not a law student. No, even if you sign the T&C, it's still invalid if the T&C contains illegal clauses. There is a very extensive and in depth procedure for writing a legal contact or document. And 90 % of companies who smack you with a "terms and conditions" page or EULA have NOT had their documents run by a competent lawyer. So if any of these illegal clauses get contested in court and the judge spots it, then the entire countract is null and void, regardless of what the company put in the text.

Kenosha is his fathers hometown and also his own place of employment. He didn't go "all this way" to get there. A less than 20 minute drive by car is not a "long distance". Also, Grosskreutz had to travel DOUBLE the distance of Kyle to get to Kenosha and was also armed with a gun. What business did Grosskreutz have to be there if you argue that Kyle didn't have any business being there?

  4588.  @78skj  Yes you have indeed wasted your time by trying to defend a very indefensible position and ended up looking like a hypocrite while doing it. Facts are objective and they remain: If you won't accuse a woman of "provoking" rapists by the way she dress or which streets she choose to walk at night, then you can't logically or consistently accuse a man of "provoking" lefties simply by being armed while also walking streets at night. Whether you like it or not, Kyles right to arm himself is just as much of a right as any woman has in dressing the way she wants and walking whichever streets she wants at what time of day she wants. That is the law in the U.S. If you or any lefties have a problem with that, or you feel "provoked" by seing either an armed man or a woman wearing a short skirt, then frankly those are YOUR problems that YOU need to deal with. Perhaps by leaving the U.S and move to countries where women aren't allowed to wear short skirts and neither women or men are allowed to be armed.

  4595. We don't want to stop offering "free stuff". Because we made the free stuff work quite well for a long time. The issues didn't begin with the "free stuff", it began with rampant and limitless immigration. The system of welfare in place was created with the explicit premise that a vast majority of people worked and paid taxes, so a minority of people who were unable to work didn't have to end up on the streets as homeless and destitute. Specifically people like the elderly, the sick and injured and people who lost their current job and temporarily need support until they can find a new job and start contributing again. When we only had this group recieving "free stuff" things were working just fine. But you can't just drop hundreds of thousands of people from abroad, who never paid taxes here and who also stay chronically unemployed for various reasons and for several years and expect such a fragile and limitef system of welfare to be able to take care of all newcomers just as well as the natives. So the problem isn't the welfare system. It never was. The problem was the immigration policy and allowing immigrants fulll access to a system they never paid into.

  4596. The actor I first recognized in the show playing the character I also like the most would be Asano Tadanobu playing Yabushige Kashigi. Saw a couple of Japanese films with Asano in the past (and really noticed how he's aged since) I find Yabushige's moral ambivalence along with his ironically friendly personality to be really entertaining. I wonder whether he'll really turn traitor in the end or if he reluctantly gets forced into some act of heroism.

But I forgive you for making this mistake since we all know that western academia is currently under siege by regressive left wingers and activist professors who have long since abandoned any pretenses of scientific study.

  4606.  @wisedragon173  That's because "modern day" people are dumbasses who confuse the word "Viking" with "Norse". The Scandinavian people were NORSE.

If parents have no rights to children, then gay couples have no rights to children either.

  4619.  @Muck006  Don't put words in my mouth please. I've been following the coverage of what has happened for a few years now and it's utterly disgusting. The reason for asking is, I know how most fathers feel about already. But when you look at voter demographics in western countries, there's a clear pattern of the female voters generally voting more for open borders and multiculturalism, whereas the male voters tend to be more pro-patriotic and wanting to reduce mass immigration, especially from countries ehwre the cultural values differ widely from their own home countries. That's why I'm looking for the female perspective. How the discussions are going among women, and if there's any changes to the statistical voting demographics going. I know what the feminists think already since they're pretty loud and vocal about their beliefs as it is. I'm more interested in the perspectives of less radicalized women at this particular juncture. That's all it is really. Didn't expect it to trump up such massive controversy.

  4627. The thefts in the U.S didn't even need a pandemic or a war to happen. All it took was some deluded politicians, high on the fumes of "social justice" to decide that thefts of a value that is below 950 dollars are to be treated as a misdemeanor rather than a criminal offense. Misdemeanors are not prioritized by police at all, and are hardly ever investigated. Criminals know this, so this moronic legislation in some states became Christmas day for thieves. They can just waltz into any store and take what they like, so long as the value does not exceed 950 dollars, and they will be able to leave scot free with no police intervention or prosecution. So we don't even need catastrophe scenarios for this to happen. All it takes is left wing politicians feeling like virtue signalling to the masses.

  4641.  @SITS101  "As Dahmer entered first grade, Lionel's studies kept him away from home much of the time. When he was home, his wife—a hypochondriac who suffered from depression—demanded constant attention and spent an increasing amount of time in bed.[17] On one occasion, she attempted suicide using Equanil.[17] Consequently, neither parent devoted much time to their son, who later recollected that, from an early age, he felt "unsure of the solidity of the family",[18] recalling extreme tension and numerous arguments between his parents during his early years." Like I said, Mommy issues. In Dahmers case he grew up with a nutjob hypochondriac of a mom who demanded more attention than she gave little Jeffrey. And in regards to Ted Bundy, he was raised by his maternal grandparents who lied to him, saying that his actual mother was his older sister, due to the social stigma of children born out of wedlock at the time. Also: "In some interviews, Bundy spoke warmly of his grandparents[23] and told Rule that he "identified with," "respected," and "clung to" his grandfather.[24] In 1987, however, he and other family members told attorneys that Samuel was a tyrannical bully who beat his wife and dog, swung neighborhood cats by their tails, and expressed racist and xenophobic attitudes. In one instance, Samuel reportedly threw Julia down a flight of stairs for oversleeping.[25] He would sometimes speak aloud to unseen presences,[26] and at least once flew into a violent rage when the question of Bundy's paternity was raised."

  4643. This sounds like good news. Employees need lesiure time! They will do a better job as well. Inspiration, motivation and creative thinking is not created while at work. It is created during the downtime between work shifts. You encounter problems while working. But you come up with creative solutions for them when you think about the problems when you're away from work, pondering over them or discussing the problems with your family and friends by getting new input and fresh perspectives from the outside. Smart companies take advantage of this and try to ensure that their employees aren't overworked. If all the energy that your employees have left after a shift is to eat and sleep, then your business will suffer.

  4644. I agree that all societies are fraught with hypocrisy, ignorance and finger pointing. I think it's because even in times of "peace" there are still battles going on for supremacy over parliament and executive positions. Hypocrisy and ignorance are just weapons of war in these battles. If the warring factions can get away with hypocrisy, ignorance and pointing fingers at their opponents, they score victories in elections. I think Machiavelli taught me the most to view these phenomenons in society this way. People fighting wars of politics are only honest or righteous when they stand to gain something from it, but are just as likely to be dishonest and underhanded when they stand to gain from those as well.

  4645. It does make sense. Nato powers and their non nato allies have always seen Russia as a thorn in their sides. They've always harboured global ambitions of control and dominance. A western world order if you will. Russia is a country with enough military force to stand in the way of that ambition. So when Russia invaded Ukraine, it gave western powers a golden opportunity to hurt Russian military and finances without having to send any troops of their own to do it. They can instead rely on their Ukrainian proxy fighters to do the deed for them.

  4660.  @tolispoulos5398  North america where they landed didn't. At least not within easy reach of any norse settlers at the time. In case you historically illiterate self didn't notice, north scandinavian colonies tended to be located within spitting distance of the coast. Inland settlements where mostly something you'd find in Scandinavia itself but rarely for "foreign" colonies. And the only thing you'd find close to the coasts of most of north america is the identical kind of climate and natural features that you already find in Scandinavia (spruce and pine forests). What would be the point of dumping all the resources and manpower required to set up a colony that will be faced with exactly the same difficulties in farming endavours that you already have at home? The British Isles on the other hand is different, because there's far more stretchrs of nutrient rich soil and leaf forests, which is why so many norse scandinavians prefered it to invade and settle. North america however had NOTHING that norse scandinavians wouldn't find at home.

  4661.  @tolispoulos5398  There is no historical evidence that they met "strong resistance from native inhabitants". No skeletal remains showing injuries of weapons, no mass death locations, no mention of any indians in Norse sagas or runestones and no oral traditions among native americans of any encounters with norsemen. NOTHING. Greenland at the time did not have a harsher climate than northern america. It was named GREEN-land for a reason. Climate has changed since then. Climate wasn't the issue though. Sediment was. The british isles have winters too, especially at that period of time in history. Doesn't change the fact that most of the sediment on the British isles have mlre nutrient rich soil than the nutrient deprived soil in northern scandinavia and north america.

A story of fiction has never been better than historical fact. And yes, working for the BBC as an actor or actress means you're priviliged and wealthy. The state is literally funding you with tax payers money to pursue some selfish, egotistical "artistic" dreams of yours. I doubt the british government does the same thing for your average brit.

  4666.  @EbonyPhoenix  Yes, a lot of people work at the BBC. But far from all of them are paid actors and actresses. I'm sure she deserves good pay if she does a good job. But acting the part of Anne Boleyn destroys all manner of suspension of disbelief, because everybody watching knows that Anne Boleyn wasn't black.

  4667.  @EbonyPhoenix  If it's a show just made for entertainment, then what's the reasoning behind dredging up the ghosts of history for it? It's demonstrably a political action. And you're being very disingenous by pretending that it wasn't.

  4670.  @EbonyPhoenix  I don't want equalized representation. I want accurate representation. And it goes both ways too. I don't want to see a white actor cast as Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King or Shaka Zulu, because doing so automatically detracts from the story. But we all know you'd never truly advocate for a white actor to play a historical black person in reality. It would upset you. Because you are a wokist. And according to your doctrine, only white culture must be "diversified" and be more "inclusive". Never black culture.

  4678. I consider myself a nationalist. But that's because I've been able to see the timeline of my country as we've gone from a mostly monoracial and monocultural country into a multiracial and multicultural country. Suffice to say that the changes have only been for the worse. Where we once had decent economic prosperity, a very small divide in wealth between upper class and middle class, low crime rates and generally good security we now have gang violence from foreign ethnic groups, daily shootings and bombings, a social welfare system broken and overburdened by migrants and an increased wealth divide between middle class and upper class. Literally NOTHING has improves for anyone save perhaps for the ultra rich. And that's why I favor nationalism and reject the so called "free" and globalized market. Market liberals were the one who advocated the very hardest for more immigration and destroyed my country.

  4684.  @peka__  If intellectual property is recognized in a capitalist society it stops being capitslist. Like I said: the justification for capitalism hinges on the idea that prices get cheaper in free market economies, and that's why people should accept the capitalist model, even though it's unfair as hell and favor the very wealthiest practically all of the time, at the expense of the poor. The argument is that the reduced prices on goods and services "outweigh" these injustices and serve the interests of the majority population than resorting to government overreach and micromanage the economy to remove freedoms to operate from capitalist enterprise. Copyright laws completely violate this argument and negates any pretentions of capitalism entirely, since their only purpose is to artificially prop up prices on certain goods to an inventors liking by simply forbidding any competitors from coming up with ways to supply the market with the same goods cheaper than the inventor can/want. So if you support copyright laws, you are far more afflicted by marxist thoughts than anyone who oppose. If inventors or corporations want to ensure that only they can profit from a product then it is ENTIRELY their own responsibility to jealously guard their trade secrets and make it hard for any competitor to copy their blueprints. It shouldn't be up to me as a taxpayer to pay for their "exclusive rights" to their money makers. Especially not when these people are the ones complaining about paying taxes more than anyone and are always trying to skip paying taxes through various off-shore account schemes. They can pay for their own damn corporate security. That's what "freeeeeedom" is all about.

  4689. I think there's actually two things that give life meaning. Love is one of them. But the second one is discovery. As the late comedian Bill Hicks said (and probably several other philosophers and scientists) "We are the universe experiencing itself subjectively". The universe on it's own is composed or mostly dumb matter and anti-matter. It can't experience anything. But because parts of it has coalesced into living organisms and eventually ourselves, the universe can now, in a small part, experience itself and reflect upon itself. As humans our experience will be limited if we don't try to explore and discover our surroundings. And ever since our neolithic ancestors, we've always been compelled to discover things for ourselves. Heck it's not even exclusive to humans. Animals also spend a fair share of their life to explore and discover. Most of the time it's centered around finding food, water and mates. But many animal species also engage in seemingly irrational activities of discovery and play, like foxes snatching doggie toys from a human dog-owners yard to toss around and play with. Or monkeys playing around with sticks, stones or smaller animals. Even if an individual doesn't have love in his or her life, they can still experience the joys of discovery and exploration. It's not just rewarding for the soul, but also directly contributes to our survival and perpetuation. In a way, Leeloo also embodied the joy of discovery throughout the film. She was created very naive and childlike, and ended up spending much of her time exploring and learning things about the world like language, Kung-fu, the taste of chicken and so on. So to me, the Fifth Element is the love of discovery and the discovery of love.

  4690.  @Pilotmario  Almost, but not quite. The T-34 still has a lot of flat horizontal and vertical surfaces. Especially on the top. And seeing as how many anti-tank weapon systems employ guided missiles which are guided to a trajectory which sends the missiles high above the target in order to strike the target straight from the top in order to defeat the benefits of sloped armour, the T-34 would still be vulnerable. My intention with a completely pyramidal profile was to eliminate a "flat" top side for such weapon systems to target.

Throughout history we have all had to adapt to technology and almost never the other way around. I'm not trying to encourage or normalize bad behaviour. I'm coming up with a plan that deflates the harm women could suffer by the practice. So you can either take my advice, or continue being angry at deepfakes being made... Forever. Because it will never stop, no matter what you do or what society does. The genie is out of the bottle. You can't put it back inside.

  4694.  @Swiplys  Well It's a bit much to expect people to not post selfies on social media. That if anything is very normalized nowadays. As for the deepfake porn: the more common it gets, the less likely people will make negative assumptions.
    2
  4695.  @trancer4e4life  I don't believe it will. The desenstization you experience is part of growing up. A lot of bad things happen in the world all the time. It's always been happening. If we always ended up feeling as strongly about every incident we merely hear about as the first time we heard about an awful crime, it's fair to say that we'd go insane. That's why reactions to crimes that do not happen in our near vicinity get a bit dulled with age. It's a coping mechanism. Trust me though, if you ever witness horrible and violent crime first hand. You will be shocked. I too thought I was completely desensitized for a time after having read about gruesome murders and seen atrocities in pictures and videos. I thought nothing would give me pause anymore. And then I saw just a "regular" beating in real life where the victim was badly injured. It was a very shocking experience. The only thing more shocking was when I was involved in a knife fight and had to defend my very life. What these experiences have taught me is that if people live such sheltered lives that all they have to get upset by is deepfake porn, they're really some of the lucky ones. What I despise about our current culture is how we've normalized outrage over the most insignificant and tangibly harmless things (like deepfake porn). People in general really lack perspective of how much worse off they could be when they let such minor grievances get under their skin like that. Every person do exert a degree of control over how badly they let things affect them emotionally. And I will never stop encouraging people to seize that control for themselves, because I genuinely believe that you'll be a better person and have better mental health when you stop believing that every little grievance, insult or slight means the end of the world.

  4696.  @trancer4e4life  You consented to having pictures used by anyone as soon as you posted them online i'm afraid. As long as software freely allows anyone to copy/paste images from the internet you practically lose control of anything you upload by default. You should have known this before you posted your selfies. Grow up and take some responsibility of your actions, would be my advice. And no I have never even used an AI prompt in my life, and I don't really have any reason to do so. Nice strawman though. Furthermore, making deepfakes is not a crime.
    2
  4697.  @trancer4e4life  Yes you are. Like I said: you gave away your exclusive rights to ANY picture or video of yourself that you post online. You made them available for anyone to use them as they see fit. Your only legal protection is if they use your material for profit. But any non profit activities is completely free and legal. How did you not know this? There's a reason why your parents probably cautioned you from posting too much personal information online, including images and videos. You have no legal right to claim "privacy" when you made all of this material public. Before playing the game, you really should learn the rules.

It doesn't mean I agree with socialism or anything like that. All i'm saying is that completely "free markets" have only one logical conclusion: neo-feudalism, where the new kings and lords will go by the names of Coca-Cola, Monsanto, Nestle and Microsoft. And the rest of us will be relegated to becoming the new serf class. I don't want to be a serf, so that's why I oppose fiscal libertarianism in many ways, because I just don't see how giving more freedoms and power to the corpos somehow translates into safeguarding MY interests as a regular person. I don't oppose trade, and I generally think that markets should be "as free as possible". But there has to be an authority that reigns in the evil ambitions of private corporations, that isn't slaved to the commodity market.

  4706. The only way that a baby shortage will "hurt the economy" is the fact that employees will have greater power and leverage over employers.

If you don't make more babies and ensure a steady stream of cheap labour to the corpo's, then the corpo presidents won't be able to affors buying 12 new luxury yachts every year! 😱

  4707.  @skylinefever  This is actually why both the fiscal right and the left loves immigration. To fiscal rightwingers, open borders mean more cheap labour to exploit, so you can leave your native employees in the dirt. The leftwingers love open borders because the more migrants they can bring in, the more welfare dependant voting cattle they can make out of them to ensure that the left stay in power forever. So it doesn't matter if you're dealing with leftwingers or rightwingers. They both hate you and want to stab you in the back in some way. Only nationalists and patriots truly care about your origin and your right to YOUR country being above the "rights" that migrants supposedly have to it.

And while war is not desirable, it might be a necessary evil to bring the Kim-family down and out of power. Sometimes there's just no other recourse than war. And I think the previous administrations complete unwillingness to risk war only served to help the Kim-family retaining their iron grip of power and continually keeping the entire north korean population as a hostage.

  4710. 2016brownie: Anti-warfare politics is not ideal at all. But on the other hand, war should not be entered into lightly. A major issue with U.S foreing politics has been that they enter into armed conflicts on a whim without seeing them through to the end. If you go to war, you need to stay committed and fight to the finish. Otherwise you'll just protract the armed hostilities. But you shouldn't avoid war at any cost either. That's why North Korea can continue to do as it pleases right now, because no one is standing up to them.

  4713. I think I have a big head too. I never needed to have my wisdom teeth pulled out like many other people need. The only issue I had with my wisdom teeth was that in one corner of my mouth, a small part of my gums still remained on top of one of my growing wisdom teeth with caused the problem that if I were chewing I bit down on that part of my gums constantly, which caused swelling and pain when I tried to chew. But that eventually settled all on it's own. :) On the flipside it also means I have a gap between my front top and bottom teeth. But I'm not really that concerned about it since I don't really care about having perfect teeth. As long as my teeth aren't falling out of my skull and they do their job when I need to eat as well as not causing me pain in any way, i'm fine with the way they are. :)

Use your time and attention devoted to her by doing something masculine instead. Open the tight jar for her. Do some manual labour towards something that she'll appreciate (like building something). Or be the solid, warm rock to lean against and be comforted by when things are tough for her, or when she just wants to relax and unwind. Attention and devotion for a man is best expressed through action, not honeyed words.

You fought so hard that you consigned millions of potential brothers and sisters to their deaths when you were the first to burrow inside the egg. So whenever you think you didn't choose to be born because you're disatisfied with the new responsibilities life has forked on you, that's just buyers remorse. Nothing more.

  4723. The deficit of homegrown food is a product of capitalist economies. Once the economy moves beyond agrarian, the capitalist ventures tend to move away from food production and into more profitable ventures, with everyone thinking that they can just import food cheaply from abroad. The capitalist mindset never takes sudden catastrophes or blockades into account and usually end up getting caught with their pants down durinh a war or similar disaster event. That's why any responsible country needs subsidized food production. I don't care if it costs the taxpayers to have the government ensuring that farmers keep farming and produce food in tonnage levels that are sufficient to feed the population, regardless of imports. It's better than the alternative. Like an insurance policy for everyones dinner table.

  4726. A thought came to mind here... What if cavalry charges actually made it so armour worn by knights offered LESS protection against arrows compared to if they were stationary? Here's my thinking: when knights do a cavalry charge, they're travelling at a pretty significant speed. So with an incoming arrow coming from the opposite direction, the impact wouldn't solely be affected by the speed the arrow travels, but also by the speed which the knight is moving into the arrow. Would be a very interesting experiment to conduct to see if damage to armour is greater when it travels at speed into oncoming arrows as opposed to being stationary.
    2
  4727.  @AKUJIVALDO  Lol clearly physics isn't your thing. Yes an arrow and a knight travels at different speeds, obviously. Recurve bow arrows can travel at speeds up to 150 mph. So if shot at a stationary target, the arrow will hit it a bit below 150 mph (it loses horizontal velocity the longer it travels due to gravitational pull and air resistance). A horse galloping speed however is somewhere between 25-30 mph. If a knight is charging at the archer, then the target is no longer stationary. It's moving TOWARDS the archer (and the arrow) at a significant velocity. Meaning that when the arrow hits the charging knight, it hits it at slightly below 150 + 25 or up to 150 + 30 mph, because the opposite velocity of the knight is added to the velocity of the arrow when determining energy transfer to the target, according to the laws of physics.

  4729. That stance looks very awkward. What I learned from my stint in kendo and kenjutsu was that the hand closest to the handguard is not the "driving" hand when performing a cut. The hand gripping the bottom of the handle (closest to the pommel) is where the force is. And from a perspective of physics, it makes the most sense since the further up the handle you grip the sword, the LESS lever action you get. In kendo, the hand closest to the handguard is supposed to be the "guiding" hand that manouevers the blade.

Granted you'll lose some more vision. But unless they have a dagger or sword tapered like a needle, it would be hard to get through while still granting the wearer some vision.

  4756. No, of course we were not introduced to what actually happened in the Euromaidan and what caused it. Because our western mainstream media busied itself with painting and pushing a narrative that the protests were only about "freedom loving Ukrainians, overthrowing it's pro-russian dictator and their desire to become one with the west". Cabling out news stories about russian speakers being burned alive in Odessa by the "freedom lovers" would kind of throw a spanner in the works of the overall narrative.

  4760. Scientists would make for terrible leaders. The reason being that scientists are experts at being myopic. In order to become a credited expert in a scientific discipline, you invariably devote most of your life to it's study. There is no such thing as a scientist who is an expert in every single discipline. Normally they're only experts in one, perhaps two disciplines. A national leader with executive powers need to take every field of science, and the issues of every strata of society into account, and practice good judgement throughout. A scientist should not be trusted with this because they are more likely to prioritize their own prefered disciplines at the cost of everything else. Their role is that of an advisory one, and they should embrace it.

People will have to die in order to change anything in Sweden, that much is certain. But until more Swedes experience this realisation, i'm locked down. If I do something by myself, it will only be disregarded as a Breivik-event. All I can do is spread the message, and stockpile supplies.

  4769. I'm surprised Louis XIV of France didn't get a mention. Quoting the wikipedia article here: Despite the image of a healthy and virile king that Louis sought to project, evidence exists to suggest that his health was not very good. He had many ailments: for example, symptoms of diabetes, as confirmed in reports of suppurating periostitis in 1678, dental abscesses in 1696, along with recurring boils, fainting spells, gout, dizziness, hot flushes, and headaches. From 1647 to 1711, the three chief physicians to the king (Antoine Vallot, Antoine d'Aquin, and Guy-Crescent Fagon) recorded all of his health problems in the Journal de Santé du Roi (Journal of the King's Health), a daily report of his health. On 18 November 1686, Louis underwent a painful operation for an anal fistula that was performed by the surgeon Charles Felix de Tassy, who prepared a specially shaped curved scalpel for the occasion. The wound took more than two months to heal.[123] Louis died of gangrene at Versailles on 1 September 1715, four days before his 77th birthday, after 72 years on the throne. Enduring much pain in his last days, he finally "yielded up his soul without any effort, like a candle going out", while reciting the psalm Deus, in adjutorium me festina (O Lord, make haste to help me).

  4783.  @xxxbrunaa : Capitalism works in conjunction with various political ideologies except for the ideologies that actively tries to supress it (like socialism). And capitalism in itself had had a net benefit for humanity because it's mechanisms promote things like scientific research and trade. It's kind of a false analogy to accuse the capitalist endavours of private companies and entrepeneurs of "imperialism", because the products and services that capitalists sell to other parts of the world besides their native societies, has an effect on other societies culture. A capitalist sells product A to society B. The product becomes popular and widely used in society B. How is that "imperialism"? Evidently the product in question was EMBRACED by the population of society B. They, the people of society B made the choice to integrate that particular product into their culture. Compare it to actual imperialism, where the local population being invaded and conquered by another society doesn't really have a choice in the matter besides trying to oppose it violently or die trying (not really a choice at all), and it becomes apparent that the two are not comparable.

What they do is having a laugh at the absurdity and extremity that there is even such a thing as a market for used panty vending machines in the first place. Stereotyping would be doing something like making the claim that Koreans all eat nothing but Kimchi all day long and nothing else.

If you imprison him for life, he wouldn't feel "guilty", he would just be resentful towards the establishment for taking away his freedom. They don't experience remorse or regret out of normal human empathy towards the hurt they caused their victims. The only time they regret something is because their actions lead to them getting punished for them. Basically, the psychopaths regret is reserved purely for that which hurts the psychopath in any way, shape or form. Never for the things that hurt their victims. Also, I don't think a moral state should refrain from using violence. State violence is justified in many different occasions, like during war, policing and the executions of violent criminals.

If you're gonna dunk on the Soviet Union then give shit where it is actually due, instead of using the USSR as some sort of easy scapegoat for everything you think is bad. Because frankly it's no different than from what the lefties do when they label everything they don't like as Hitler or Nazism.

  4802.  @andreivaughn1468  Yes I was just speaking in general terms as well. And I've heard stories directly from russians who's parents and grand parents lived in the USSR. There weren't many horror stories about mass starvation or empty store shelves at all. They admitted that during some weeks, certain commodities might be in shortage. Like one week it was hard to get razor blades. Another it might be hard to get any tomatoes. But it definitely wasn't like the whole history of the USSR was just a decades long famine like the liberal pundits on youtube try to portray it as. And frankly this demonization is really counter-productive to current geopolitical problems as well, because Russians tend to feel attacked when faced with the extreme smearing of their history which is a source of pride for most of them. I have a hard time seeing how rightwingers in the west will ever benefit from basically driving the Russian majority into the arms of China the way it's going on now. Western rightwingers got plenty in commom with modern Russians, especially in the conservative values department. After all, Russia is not facing any sort of epidemic of "wokeness". THE WEST IS! Western children are being victimized and indoctrinated by the LGBTQ-lobby. Russian children are not. So I gotta wonder what these western "classical liberals" have to be so smug about?

For many years I honestly couldn't tell the difference between Charlize and Scarlett Johansen but kept confusing the two all the time. Neither are very expressive or distinguished actors. They just happen to look pretty, in the very bland, "hollywood blondie" sort of way. So they just come across as very unremarkable and their performance hurt because of it. Compare it to "Warrior Woman" in Road Warrior played by Virginia Hey. She hasn't got a fraction of Charlize dialogue in Road Warrior, yet I remember her character vividly. She has the looks. Very remarkable and striking features, and she could express a lot with facial expressions alone without saying anything.

  4808.  @josephmoya5098  That's only an issue of complexity though. Eventually the possible permutations caused by the programs making changes to eachother becomes too complex for any human to predict in a deterministic fashion. One could even argue that us humans are like that too. Every thought process consist of specific neurons firing. If you had a complete overview of a persons neural network, you could predict their thoughts and actions in much the same manner. Only having such an overview is impossible due to the inherent complexity of the system (too many neurons involved for anyone to keep track of). But that would also apply to code eventually.

  4809. I've unironically seen artwork from university art students composed of crappy crayon drawings that looks like they were made by a 4-year old. Yet somehow the art world has made such bad quality acceptable, because they are pathologically obsessive over some convoluted and pretentious "message" being conveyed while completely disregarding the execution of the artwork. In the past, artists worked harder on execution, reaching a zenith where paintings and sculptures bordered on the photorealistic. But the degenerate post-modernists just can't be bothered with striving for excellence. To them art is only about activism and nothing else.

  4823. @sisuphos The wealth is not really appealing to me. I believe in honest work, so I don't assume nor do I want to be spoiled by a more wealthy woman. It does depend on where I am in life of course. I can't have children with a woman who is no longer fertile, so for family building purposes I wouldn't be able to commit. But the way this article was framed it sounded more like this older model was basically looking for a fling and not to start (another) family. And so I maintain that if Monica came to me looking for a fling, and i'm being single myself, then I wouldn't turn her down due to the fact that she's twice my age. Because "older" doesn't necessarily equate to "unattractive" in my view.

You can be certain that they don't "have to" do porn for a living, but actually do have options but have made an informed choice to do porn anyway, as opposed to being some trafficking victim living in desperation. That said, regarding cheerleaders, it's not like anyone holds a gun to their head. If one cares about equal rights, then you should respect their decision when choosing a profession.

If we're to believe that the bugs are knocking asteroids out of orbit into a trajectory straight towards earth, the bugs would've had to do it about several million years before mankind even existed in order for the asteroids to reach their target by the time the human federation existed. If the bugs can predict the future that well, then mankind would be screwed.

And worse yet, she also learned how to open the refridgerator, despite the fact that it was "child proofed" in such a way where you had to push a padel near the floor to unlock it. Didn't take her long to figure out that she could step on that padel and raid the fridge. -.-

  4840.  @mickymaust2059  I'd say it's the opposite. With concealed carry, you'll have more situations where people pick fights with other people (like drunken brawls etc.) not realizing that some of them are packing. Guns will be pulled out in panic and people will get shot and killed in the heat of the moment, where the situation could've been resolved by a less harmful bout of fisticuffs. I'm not excusing drunken brawls or anything, i'm just saying that when they do happen (and they will, there's no stopping them) they tend to end with a bloody nose or a black eye in 90 percent of the cases, but both parties walk away alive after the altercation. But when there is a concealed firearm or knife involved, the risk of someone dying ramps up quite significantly. With open carry however, even most drunkards will be deterred from starting an altercation when there is a visible gun hanging from the hip of their intended target.
    2
  4841.  @mickymaust2059 : In your example though, it sounds more like you got killed because you were trying to play a hero to be honest. Just because you're carrying a gun, it doesn't mean you're responsible for stopping a robbery in progress. Most security and survival experts will teach the same thing: if an armed robber demands your wallet or whatever, just pullit out of your pocket, throw the wallet at the robber and run. While "stand your ground" laws might be principled, standing your ground in such altercations is rarely the most effective way of staying alive. In fact, standing ones ground actually increase the risk of serious injury and death in most instances, regardless if you're carrying a weapon openly or concealed. If there is an option to get out of the situation without pulling weapons and shooting, then that's what a person inclined towards personal security should opt for at all times. Gunfights are dangerous to everyone involved. They really should be the last resort when all other options are exhausted. And sure you can defend yourself. But pulling out a firearm and starting shooting during a drunken brawl is not proportional at all. It's like gunning down a 10 year old kid who snatched a candy bar from a store and ran without paying. The drunkard might violate the law, but killing them when it's not needed is a bit excessive.
    2
  4842.  @mickymaust2059  My pleasure. It was just a matter of philosophical differences. No reason for hostility in my view. In defense of loved ones, I'd consider that a "all other options have been exhausted"-type of situation. But with a store robbery, I'd probably wait and see what happens before pulling any weapons. If I got the sense that the robbers were going to corner me and kill me, then I'd have to fight my way out of the situation. But if all they're doing is telling the store clerk to empty the register in a bag, then that's not a situation worth risking my life for. The store clerk isn't being hurt by it, and the store itself is probably part of a large franchise and with insurance against robberies etc. So unless the robbers begin act in an unpredictable manner, i'd assume it safer to just lay low and wait for the robbers to leave and let the police deal with them.

  4849. Most women are also useless by this metric if it weren't for men. Because most women can't give birth without the modern medicine invented by men. Go back to a time before modern medicine and half of all childbirths were a death sentence to the woman. So most women were disposable incubators back then. A woman who could give birth to several children was a treasured resource. But most women couldn't.

The stationing of troops at the border is Putin saying "This is how fast we can deploy an invasion force ready to go in and take Kiev", this to deter Kiev from entertaining the idea of applying for a Nato membership, because if they do, Ukraine will be annexed. And there's not much Nato seems willing to do about it, which Putin already knows. He did this to show Ukraine and the world just how weak Nato's response would be.

Employers won't be able to race towards the absolute bottom with wages, because if they do, nobody in the country will be able to afford their goods and services. Can't run a company if there's no one around able to afford whatever it is you're selling.

  4892. Personally I can't really relate to being proud of anything you exerted no control over. As in the case of achievements of ancestors. I had no say in what they did since I wasn't even born at the time, so I can't take any pride from that since their achievements are theirs alone. I think a more accurate feeling would be veneration. I venerated my ancestors for the good deeds they did, and may strive to emulate their example. This same dynamic, of course, applies to bad things they did as well. My duty as a descendant is to venerate the good parts, while also doing my best not to repeat the bad ones, and hopefully contribute to making our society better. And I don't think veneration has to be mutually exclusive to condemnation either. One can certainly venerate just, moral and good actions of a person, while also condemning the unjust, immoral and evil acts of the same person (to a reasonable limit, for example no amount of good deeds would excuse child molestation in my opinion) Pride is something I reserve for my own actions and achievements, as well as the actions and achievements of my own descendants. Since I can make a reasonable claim that I played a part through my own action into their development and subsequent actions.

  4893.  @nforne  It probably wasn't as nice for your parents though. Living under the perpetual threat of nuclear war between Nato and the USSR. For us who grew up as kids in the 90's and were born in the late 80's you definitely had a sense that our parents and a lot of adults were kind of happy, hopeful and celebratory in a way. Because the Berlin wall got torn down and divisions between the east and west were mending. Of course all of that is over now that the east and the west are on the warpath again.
    2
  4894.  @nforne  Of course. I mostly adressed the parents here because a lot of parents, and sometimes schoolteachers, understandably did what they could to shelter children from their own fears. But a lot of kids would naturally be aware of the giant exclamation mark that is The bomb as well. Today kids are brainwashed with little attempt at sheltering with global climate crisis. So for me being a kid in the 90's, I kinda feel that I was an in betweener. The threat of nuclear war was gone for the most part (usually only visible within movie fiction) and the radical greens had yet to gain much clout or traction. And again, everyone was pretty happy that the Cold war was over. So it was a decent period of time to grow up in.

She took hold of my hand and took me to the door, and I was saying: Ha, ha (as if I was gasping), until the agitation of my heart was over. She took me to a house, where had gathered the women of the Ansar. They all blessed me and wished me good luck and said: May you have share in good. She (my mother) entrusted me to them. They washed my head and embellished me and nothing frightened me. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) came there in the morning, and I was entrusted to him.

  4905.  @freesian59  Thank you for your perspective Tanaka. I guess my main points can be condensed to the following: People should not hate other people for what happened in past wars. Governments declare war and send soldiers to war. People generally do not. (people generally don't even get a say in the matter) If ones own government committed atrocities, then one should condemn it. If ones own government committed atrocities and refuse to apologize or own up to it, then one should also condemn it. I'm not saying that a government should have to pay money to make up for things (I generally dislike the principle that money could somehow weigh up for killings or rapes, because it implies that you can purchase your way out of guilt and responsibility with money), an apology doesn't cost anything so it's the least a government can do. The nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were atrocious. It is a chapter that no government on earth should've opened. But with that said, The Japanese did fight in very atrocious ways. It was as if the Emperor had mobilized the entire country to fight to the death. In more "normal" warfare, soldiers fight until either side is strategically and tactically incapacitated and that side then surrenders. Yet the japanese government had basically institutionalized suicide bombings. They didn't care how many lives they threw away in their war effort. They spent lives of young men like other nations spend bullets. When an enemy crosses that line, then you can't really fight a "normal" war against them. It's not that different from the way that muslim terrorist organizations fight today to be honest. One has to think about what would've happened if the Americans didn't use the nuclear bombs. Let's assume that they instead chose to land troops on mainland japan and fight a land war over there. What would the japanese government do? How many more lives would they throw away in such a situation? How many japanese civilians would be coerced or even drawn to the calling of martyrdom and staging suicide attacks on american troops, putting the american soldiers in a situation where they basically have to treat every single japanese person they see as a potential hostile only to stay alive themselves? Even today, Japan seems to struggle with a kind of suicide culture. An alarming amount of japanese people take their own lives, and this seems to be a cultural holdover from times in the past where suicide was considered a noble act to restore lost honour. One can only imagine how such a culture would manifest itself if the U.S had pursued a land war in Japan instead. Of course it's speculation, but there's a very real possibility that even more lives would've been lost as a result on both sides. I don't wish to offend you by playing the devils advocate here, but with the nuclear bombings, they at least had the desired effect. They forced the imperial japanese government to surrender. It took the complete destruction of two cities to get them to see that no amount of "noble suicide" would be able to stop such an attack. They must have realized that the U.S could obliterate every single city in Japan if necessary so there wouldn't have been much left to fight over. At the time, it seemed like the japanese were convinced that as long as they sent more people to die, eventually they would win. Surrender was not an option... Until the nuclear bombs dropped. Thankfully they did surrender after that. And that was also probably the last time the U.S did the responsible thing after they go to war with another country. They stayed behind and helped rebuild and made an effort to improve relations with their defeated foes and work towards becoming allies. Sadly, this has not been a norm for the U.S since. They have suffered from very irresponsible leadership that starts wars with other countries, destroy their governments and infrastructure, and then simply leaves the country in shambles. (Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria etc.) But with Japan, relations have just been getting better. And both countries have flourished financially since. I don't think any member of the armed forces in the U.S look back at the atomic bombings with any sense of "pride" either. In a serious conversation about it with americans, most seem to consider it a dark chapter of their countrys history, which it most certainly was. It's not something they "wanted", but at the time they couldn't see any other option. But one needs to look towards the future. The hatchet is buried and japanese and american citizens only stands to benefit from friendly relations with eachother. Oh and just to put it into perspective: i'm not an american myself. This is just my view of the situation from the outside. So I don't have this view because i'm biased towards a U.S perspective or anything.

  4906.  @tesspulido  I don't see what makes Phil McGraw such a "disgrace to his profession" to be honest. He gives people very sound, pragmatic and down to earth advice and counsel on his shows. And regarding the "sensationalism" that you people accuse him of: in western society, an issue is debated constantly over how there's a stigma associated to seeking professional help with your psychological problems, and that a lot of people don't get the help they need because they don't like the idea of labeling themselves as "crazy people". And it's no wonder since all therapists insist on making sessions into these "secret meetings" in private, giving the impression that therapy is something shameful. Phil does a good job of dispelling the prejudice surrounding professional help. Also, unlike many other therapists out there, he actually give his guests real advice and honesty, whereas a majority of therapists out there just accept huge amounts of payment from their patients doing nothing but listening to their problems and letting the patients wallow in self-pity. I'd say those kinds of "therapists" are way more of a disgrace to their profession than what Dr Phil is.

When in reality they are only against racism from non-POC TO POC, but are more than happy with vice versa. Heck, I didn't even used to care about race that much in my youth. But after having seen where things are going in today's political climate, I am more aware of my race and other people's races than ever.

  4926.  @justsomemincedgarlic  Graphene batteries? Like nano batteries? I read something about that before. A classic voltaic cell is normally composed of a layer of iron, a paper soaked in an electrolytic fluid, and then another layer of copper on top. Stack multiple of these layers on top of eachother and you get a bigger charge. But the interesting thing about it apparently is that the thickness of the individual layers doesn't matter very much. So you could have layers be only a few atoms in thickness and the whole apparatus still works. If every layer is only a few atoms thick, you could stack thousands of layers on top of eachother and it wouldn't take up much space, while still being sble to hold a really big charge.

Of course it always depended on the maker and customer, but from examples I've see, war axes from the middle ages and some from ancient times look much thinner than examples of viking axes. I think it also make sense due to the fact that space aboard a viking longboat was limited, and vikings needed tree logs to move their longboats over land, so having their axes double as weapons and felling axes would make a lot of sense, as opposed of bringing different axes for different tasks.

Coupled with their disabilities, it's very inspirational. It's the kind of mindset I'd hope I have if I were to become disabled due to a disease or some accident rather than succumbing to self-pity and depression.

Every single interview you see with young people in japan about politics, they just laugh and feel embarassed and admit that they don't know anything about what different political parties stand for and they don't even vote, even when they are of legal age to do so. This kind of behaviour is inexcusable.

Flooding universities also hurt everyone with a university degree in the long run because you create inflation in the value of having a degree. University education should be reserved to the best and brightest individuals with the most aptitude. When practically everyone tries to get in, the value of education is lost. It becomes a "standard" rather than the exception.

Send out the tasks to the employees and then review the results. How the employees go about solving the tasks is their job to figure out, and as a manager you should be able to trust their judgement on that accounts. Especially since you should have been involved in the hiring process of those employees and so should have hired people you can trust.

If not, then they can go back to the drawing board. The point is: doing it this way he'd still retain the creative control he desired. Selling the franchise off to one of the most soulless entertainment corporations imaginable was just begging for seeing his magnum opus destroyed and humiliated. You have your billions now Lucas.

  4972.  @gibertusalbans1779 : Somehow I don't think it was Verhoevens goal to present an "idealistic world" with Starship Troopers. It just ended up looking like one in our current political context. I've given the matter some thought, and what I think Verhoevens problem is the fact that as a film director and visuals being the primary medium he works with (as all film makers), he had a very superficial concept of what a fascist society would look like. When he thinks of fascism and nazism, he clearly thinks of things like propaganda reels, men wearing grey uniforms with peak caps, glorifying the military etc. Because that's the simplified, cookie-cutter version of fascism and nazism he's probably been fed during his lifetime. He's dutch after all, so it's not very likely that their school system spends a great deal of time to convey to their students what nazis and fascists actually believed but more likely portray them as "monstrous invaders of our country with evil being their primary motivation". I don't think Verhoeven actually sat down and studied the ideologies of nazism or fascism that closely or tried to compare them to other ideologies and see how they differed in principles and world views. So in Paul Verhoevens mind, he probably believes Starship Troopers to be a parody of fascism. But to anyone who actually sat down and studied the ideologies, the film comes across as something completely different. Nazism and fascism is after all much more than mere goose stepping, grey uniforms and glorification of military pursuits.

Fring evidently had money laundering going on. If I would've been in Walters shoes, I'd have asked Fring to help me out laundering the money from my part of the drug manufacturing. Perhaps even going so far as accepting a smaller part of the profits in exchanged for laundered money rather than a bigger share of illegal drug money. This would've had three benefits. 1. Walter could've easily posed in front of Skyler, Hank and the authorities as having a legitimate, well paying job working for Fring. 2. It would've created closer ties with Fring, which is something that Fring clearly wanted since he's a control freak of note. 3. It would've allowed Walt to amass a significant wealth, even through a reduced cut of profits and most likely never getting caught as a result.

  4989. "The average person isn't doing the jobs that the immigrants are doing" Could it have something to do with the fact that employers in these lines of work offer slave wages which an average englishman can't afford to live on, but thanks to government subsidies to migrants, migrants can actually afford to live on? Hypothetically speaking, let's say the government closed the borders and pulled all immigrant labour subsidies in full, how many immigrants would be available to do these jobs for slave wages? The answer is: none. And if stingy employers no longer have the option of exploiting cheap immigrant labour through paying slave wages, then what would the employers have to do to recruit a workforce to be able to stay in business? The answer is: they'd have to pay what average englishmen need to be able to live off their wages.

Also, as a European I can tell you that the support for the EU among European citizens is crumbling, mainly because the EU is outright ignoring and violating the very things I mentioned above (like national sovreignty), and it will MOST DEFINITELY do the same to asia as well.

If I were to attempt it, I think setting up a communal sleeping barracks at first would be more practical. The you have to get crop fields and a steady supply of drinking water going first. Once this is taken care or, you can start looking at erecting individual dwellings. The most fair way would be through a raffle lottery whereby every prospective household enters their names. And the winner gets their home erected first with the help of the entire community. Once the first individual dwelling is done you move on to the next one and so on. If for whatever reason anyone who already has a dwelling decides to leave or not participate in the building of other dwellings, they are kicked out or leave on their own accord, and the next one up in the raffle moves into the vacant dwelling. And you keep doing this until all the members of the commune have their personal dwellings.

Don't get me wrong, just playing a game for fun is not the end of the world. But people take sports way too fucking seriously. It's also pretty apparent that team sports are really just a "civilized" placeholder for warfare. Back in ancient times and medieval times, people didn't have giant, international soccer tournaments. They gathered their weapons and beat the crap out of the inhabitants of their neighbouring villages, towns and kingdoms and everyone was excited about doing it.

We know you want to beat us, enslave us and defeat us Oppress us and browbeat us, unless we get you first

    2
  5057.  @jesupcolt  Which is demonstrably false. Like I said, Russia is no stranger to engaging in warfare while also going through famines. You argue that the famine during WW2 was somehow "worse" than previous ones, to which you've presented nothing to actually back up the implication with. If you think famines during WW2 could be bad, I'd suggest you look up what famines did during medieval times. As bad as famines could be during the 20th century, farming methods and knowledge were still relatively modern, and so would've had a crop output greater than what medieval farmers could produce during famines.

  5064.  @jasonmarinara6492  The problem with digital cloning is that there's no guarantee of demonstrable continuity of consciousness. Example: Your current consciousness is currently locked inside your own body (Jason A). You make a digital clone of your consciousness uploaded to a computer (Jason B). Since the day you were born, you have only been able to experience the world from the perspective of Jason A. Jason B, while having a duplicate of your mind, is still his own individual, separate form you (Jason A). Jason B might think, reason and react just like Jason A does. But Jason A will never be physically capable of experiencing the world directly through Jason B's senses. There's no continuity of consciousness between Jason A and Jason B. One is just a separate duplicate of the other, but they're still two persons/individuals, experiencing the world through their own senses. And unless you're of a religious persuasion, you can't really prove that if Jason A were to die, then Jason A would basically have his consciousness "transfered" to Jason B, just because Jason B is a duplicate. So you're not gonna die in Jason A's body, only to suddenly wake up as Jason B afterwards and continue living.

Most of people in the west hates hollywood and it's industry as well. I'm always disappointed when they release films based on an asian source material, yet cast only white actors and have them all speak in english because hollywood assumes that everyon is too dumb to read subtitles. Also, hollywood directors usually completely misunderstand scripts and stories coming out of Asia. Ghost in the shell released recently was a perfect example of this.

  5081. Angry Foreigner is right about the deception from mainstream media. Another issue is that the parties who eventually advocated for mass immigration had already been elected to power before the migrant crisis began. Back then it was the Moderate coalition of parties who kept the borders open. But during the election campaign, no mention of immigration was ever brought up, and the migrant crisis hadn't yet hit Europe or Sweden. The moderate coalition only campaigned for some tax reductions and other "pro middle to upper class" reforms, and that's what got them elected. The migration started to escalate mid term for them basically, and they practically just forced the mass migration onto the general public, while the mainstream media proclaimed that "everything was just fine". So before judging the Swedish majority, you might want to take this into consideration. Granted, people should maintain some skepticism towards politicians, but expecting the average voter to be a mind reader is a bit much.

  5084. More law abiding citizens needs to be armed and ready to shoot back during a terrorist attack. Mandatory courses in school would be a good way to start. There is a clear statistical correlation between being exposed to and taught how to handle firearms by a legal gun owner at an early age and not going on shooting sprees or even involving oneself in violent gun crimes whatsoever. The vastly overrepresented criminals using guns are inner city dwellers, especially in states and cities where gun control and gun bans are the most widespread. People living in rural areas and usually taught to shoot at an early age on the other hand are statistically underrepresented in gun crimes. The evidence is clear, teach children responsible gun usage and sports shooting, and they likely grow up to not become violent criminals. More bans and more gun regulations will just increase the areas with heavy gun violence.

  5092.  @nataliewalton5118  Yes, BLM protesters should be treated as subhumans, because that's the way they behave. The people Kyle shot in self defense are no loss to society. Kyle doesn't need a "reason" to be there. It's a free country and a public place. He had just as much right to be there as any of the protesters. Nobody is obligated to just "stay away" or move because subhuman BLM is having a hissy fit in the area. The only problem was that the subhuman, child molesting protesters started shit they couldn't finish, and got their just Darwin awards for it.
    2
  5093.  @nataliewalton5118  Because they attacked Kyle first. He didn't attack them. Kyle made an excellent decision in bringing a gun, because if he hadn't, he might've been yet another victim of the violence from BLM protesters. It's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

If I say that all black people love fried chicken and water melon. Then that's a racist statement. Arguing that me saying this means that I want to start a Holocaust 2.0 for black people just because I believe that black people likes fried chicken is a bit of a stretch. There's no logical chain of causality involved.

Geopolitics is a really dirty business, but it is a sad fact of life that country leaders can't ignore. So while I might abhor military invasions like this, I can still understand the Russian perspective on the matter. They didn't just invent this casus belli out of thin air. The real tragedy here is why the U.S just absolutely refuse to solve problems diplomatically and that they always plot and scheme against countries who they can't exert control over.

  5136. Red Ice: I don't believe it would've mattered much. German rule over the soviet union was unlikely from the start. It'd kind of like proposing the idea of invading the U.S. Even if the U.S had a much weaker military than it has, you still have a an almost entirely armed population numbering in the hundreds of millions to deal with. Not to mention the communications and logistics difficulties to be taken into account in pacifying such large swathes of land. You're not going to be able to properly subjugate and pacify something like that from a relatively small country like germany.

The modern right have never been in favor of slavery like the Democrats/KKK were back during the trans-atlantic slave trade and the civil war. The problem with you is that just because the modern right don't like increased taxation or being forced to pay "reparations" to people they neither did anything to, nor had anything done to them, then they must be "racist" like Democrat slave traders. We don't believe that the idea of paying reparations or paying for "social programmes" for specific races is bad because we "hate" the race it's supposed to benefit. We think these ideas are terrible because we oppose taxation in general, have zero faith in government officials or corrupt NGO's being able to sensibly allocate this money in ways that will actually work, and finally we alive today do not owe minorities anything since we never "enslaved" anyone nor did we subject anyone to any crimes. We don't believe in some sick lefty concept of "original sin" for the races.

  5140.  @whathell6t  I'm dead serious. Both fascism and national socialism are inherently left wing ideologies. They share practically all ideological elements with socialism and it's variants and only differ in the most superficial ways. By contrast, neither fascism nor national socialism has anything in common with right wing ideals. Right wingers have primarily been on the side of reducing government influence and being in favor of individual freedoms and securing property rights for individuals. Socialism on the other hand has always been in favor of MORE government power and influence, and limiting individual freedoms and property rights... Which is exactly the same idea the Nazis and the Fascists had. The only reason anyone would make a distinction between socialism and national socialism is due to the fact that historically, their leaders ended up being bitter rivals during WWII. But that's not exactly new or unique in the history of left wing ideology, since leftwingers have a pathological tendency to resort to factionalism and fighting amongst themselves, even amongst their own political parties. Or to put it in simple terms: nobody killed more socialists than Josef Stalin and Mao Zhedong.

Show the world that you can laugh about it too, and that you don't see a reason to let it bother you. People will like you more that way, and see beyond whatever your deficiencies are. Short, fat, skinny, disabled doesn't matter which.

  5155. ​ @bonda_racing3579 depth charges will always work against submarines. The concussive force of explosions are amplified underwater, also when an explosion occurs it creates a big displacement of water (essentially a giant air bubble) If the keel of a ship or a sizeable portion of a sub is caught in this air bubble it'll be like this part of the vessel is hanging in mid air for a split second. Which no vessel is designed to hold up to, so it can collapse and snap under either it's own weight, or the tons and tons of sea water rushing in to fill that displacement of water.

  5170. Htoo Doh: I think he means "average joes". The types of people that usually end up being soldiers: labourers, middle managers, average students and such, Scientists are usually more geeky and are handled better using logic and reasoing. But if you walk into a pub filled with low- to middle class guys, logic and reasoning will not put you in the top of that food chain. Assertiveness and dominance will. A person with ambitions of becoming a high ranking officer is not likely to reach his goal if he isn't an assertive and dominant man that can get larger groups of other men to do what he wants them to do. Some times non-assertive and submissive men end up with command, but in most cases their careers are quite lackluster because of it.
    2
  5171. Htoo Doh: I didn't mean to imply that theres an inverse relationship between being logical and being assertive and dominant. The two are definitely not mutually exclusive. That said, I'd still argue that you can make your way to the top of the food chain in an enviroment of average joes being assertive and dominant alone (something you couldn't in a scientific enviroment). But it is of course prefarable to be able to combine the two in order to be a competent and successful leader. The combination however, or at the very least a perfect combination is pretty rare in humans. It's either one or the other, or too little of one trait and too much of the other.

  5184. mPky1: All lands conquered needs to be occupied for quite a long time afterwards. There's no real way around it, since you turn the population of a conquered land your enemy as soon as you declare and wage war on them in the first place. It's not like you can conquer a nation by not killing anyone or destroying someones property, so it's next to impossible to do it while maintaining popular support among the population of the enemy country. So there's always a period of "cracking heads and restoring order" after the enemy government and armed forces have been forced to surrender. Which is why I point out the problem with Hitler being overly ambitious and not respecting the necessary timeframe needed to pacify a newly conquered population. He believed that since they achieved a swift military victory in Poland, he should just keep going, dedicating most resources and manpower towards invading the next country on his hitlist. Not only did it leave newly conquered territories vulnerable to local insurgency, but the speed of his conquests also instilled a greater sense of alarm and urgency in other foreign enemies like France, Britain and Russia. The trick is to slowly conquering your neighbours while projecting a complete lack of ambition towards conquest to the people watching you. Basically: drop the frog in boiling water and it will jump out immediately. But drop the frog in cold water and then slowly increase the heat, and the frog will allow itself to be boiled alive without any intervention. Classic deception, all according to the principles of Sun Tzu.

  5187. Standard paid working hours in my country is 7 hours a day (although you're away for at least 8 hours because 1 hour is unpaid lunch break). But there are exceptions depending on the type of job (some require you to work for 12-24 hours per shift, but you get extra days during the week off to compensate, or you have long working hours one week but get the next week completely off) The umbrella organization for the labour unions have pushed through legislation that demands that the standard is to have at least 11 consecutive hours off per day, so working schedules that violates it is illegal. There's talks about passing legislation that reduces all standard working days to 6 hour work days, but it's a matter of debate how realistic that proposal is (certain jobs and industries would never be able to adapt to it so there's bound to be exceptions) That said, while 7 hour work days might sound short to some people. The corporate culture is that during these hours you WORK. I've been to other countries where "formally" the hours are 7-8 hours per day. But a lot of that time is either consumed by paid breaks, or people taking informal "coffee breaks" or stand around the water cooler for several minutes chatting. Whereas if you tried something like that where I live, you would be fired rather quickly. So workdays are short compared to some countries. But the time at work is spent in a pretty efficient manner.

  5204. Okay, if a woman has slept with a lot of men or many men have seen her naked, then sure, it gives me the ick. But at the same time, plenty of women have seen me naked and I've slept with quite a few as well. While the general attitude in society might be different towards men and women respectively, my rational mindset find it difficult to judge a woman for having a similar sexual past to my own. I don't feel like i'm being "fair" judging a woman's past more harshly than I judge my own. So I'd at least be willing to give the benefit of the doubt to a woman like that, so long as I feel confident that she's a different person now, in the same manner as I'm a different person today. I don't feel like I have a right to sleep around as much as I have, while also condemning every woman who has a sexually active past, so long as it actually stays in the past. At the end of the day, I don't consider myself a "stud" for having slept with several women. My attitude towards it is more of lamentation over the fact that sometimes I exercised poor judgement with one night stands, and the other times represents relationship "failures" for me, since those sexual encounters eventually lead to an ending of the relationships in question.

  5205. Okay, so his premise is that white people don't exist because these people are too culturally diverse?

I have earned my right to live, by putting myself in harms way and slaying my enemies. If I chicken out during a firefight, then I might be able to get my hands on the money. But I'll never get the experience of truly having earned the right to live. No monetary compensation would give the same satisfaction.

Some are poor, others are significantly better. I can't agree that sculpt quality has gotten better "overall", because due to the switch over to entirely plastic models, some of them have gotten very "low resolution" when it comes to fine detail. Only the resin casts and metal casts can achieve this. The thing plastic has going for it is ease of conversion. I wouldn't trust GW to act in a competent manner from now on.

It was given to him and he broke no laws carrying it (that charge was dismissed by the judge since the state law of Wisconsin permit 17 year olds to carry long rifles) He went to Kenosha to defens his community against violent rioters and arsonists. He had every right to be there. He was 17 years old at the time. His job was in Kenosha, and his father also lived in Kenosha. If Kyles father lives there, Kyle have every right to claim that the town is his community too. And while we're talking about defending people here...

The problem is that you won't find any msm coverage of what's been going on in Donbass for the past 8 years.

Like the Biden family inserting itself with Ukrainian policy makers and McCain going over there promising the Ukrainian military that they will feast on Russian blood in the near future. If americans want to wash their hands of this, then maybe you shouldn't have american officials going to foreign countries, grooming them into becoming puppet states and military allies? Maybe you should focus more on protecting your own borders rather than interfering with foreign countries all the time?

  5254.  @markzuckergecko621  No, anarchists are more ideologically consistent, whereas libertarians are filled with hypocrisy. And as a result, anarchy is far more dysfunctional than libertarianism. But the only reason libertarianism is less dysfunctional than anarchy isn't because of it's liberal views, but the fact that it borrows elements from statism... Which libertarians also tend to scorn at the same time.

  5255.  @markzuckergecko621  It's not strawman positions but positions I've seen for myself from other libertarians, who are more prolific and influential within the ideology than you are. If you've got some personal interpretation then that's on you. But your interpretation is not practically representative of Libertarianism as a whole.

  5256.  @markzuckergecko621  Why should I adress what you're claiming that libertarian ideals are when you didn't create them nor are you particularly influential on their development? Hate to break it to you kid, but when you profess to be a member of an ideology, you're gonna be forced to answer for what it's figureheads claim that it is. You libertarians do so as well against your political opponents. I mean you damn sure don't let some rando in a youtube comment section set the standard for what Communism or Nationalsocialism "actually" mean. You invoke the ghosts of Old Adolf, Moussolini, Josef Stalin, Mao Zhedong, Che Guevara, Vladimir Lenin and the rest. THEY represent these ideology for you, not some pleb arguing with you on social media.

  5259. I don't believe we should get rid of nuclear weapons. The point of having them is to not use them. Countries who have them are largely safe from foreign invasions, because nobody wants to risk triggering a nuclear backlash by invading a country with a nuclear weapons program. Nuclear weapons are terrifying, but they're also one of the few things that can safeguard even a small country with a small military defense force from a hostile takeover. Many smaller countries today face military oppression from foreign powers. Ukraine being a prime example of it right now. Ukraine gave up it's nuclear weapons to Russia as a condition for national independence during the break-up of the USSR. But we can all see how well Russia respected that treaty. Had Ukraine have it's own nukes today, I doubt Russia would've been so eagre to invade.

  5271. Yes, the one good thing Biden has done is making employers realize that they need workers to run their businesses. Employers have for too long treated workers as disposable labour. They're going to have to accept parting with more money and paying livable wages. They have to accept that they can't buy new luxury yachts every year if they want their business to continue. They need to cut back on their luxury yacht spending habits to get a new one every 10 or 20 years perhaps.

Light skin meant that you were probably rich or from a rich family since you didn't have to work your ass off in the sun all day long for a living, but could stay comfortably in the shade.

  5281. t3llur1de: Only humans were created with free will. Angels however, were not. Satan is a fallen angel. He might not have gods favor anymore but he's still an angel without free will. How can Satan oppose God's will then, if A. He doesn't have free will like humans do. And B. God is supposedly omnipotent. Also, what about all the children born with birth defects and skeletal cancer? What "choices" did they make to deserve being born into a short and painful existence? Why does your supposedly "good" god allow infants to be born with such hideous and painful deformities? That's not the actions of a just or moral god. That's the action of an evil and immoral entity.
    2
  5282. Lucky: This is the reasoning that every religious terrorist in history has used to justify murder. What is some bad actions ans caused suffering in "this life" when the "soul is eternal"? All religious people are just one spat of moral panic away from resorting to terrorism. You people basically treat life as some sort of temporary "simulation". A game where the goal is to score as many divine favor points as possible. And if some religious leader comes along and convince you that you'll score the most divinity points by murdering your fellow man, then you will have no problem doing it. That's how "solid" your morality is. And as for "god does not micromanage creation" if your god created everything then he also created cancer and disease. This was not created by mistake but on purpose. Even painful diseases afflicting children. A being that purposefully creates such things, afflicting the most innocent individuals in society (the children) with the reasoning "oh but what do I care? The soul is eternal anyway." is not a moral or just god. That being is a monster that needs to be destroyed.
    2
  5283. t3llur1de: The fact that the angels were offered volition in ONE issue does not prove they were created with "free will". Free will implies volition in EVERY issue, not just a singular event. Saying that angels then have free will because they were allowed to make a choice if they wanted to side with god or with Satan is like saying that a slave has freedom because his master ONCE allowed him to choose if he wanted to eat stale bread or sloppy gruel for dinner. Every Biblical source and interpretation claims that man was distincr from the angels because man was created with free will by default, whereas the angels were not. Humans are gods personal little lab rat experiment, forcing humans to run through mazes for his own amusement. Angels are purposefully designed beasts of burden. Humans did not create cancer. Human beings as well as other animal species were afflicted with cancer long before industries creating carcinogenic pollutants even existed. And even if you were to argue that humans are "responsible" for cancer because of pollution, then if God really didn't want humans to suffer from cancer he could've just appeared and said "Hey you know that crude oil you burn in vehicles and industries? Don't do that, because the pollutants will give you cancer. You are my children so I don't want to see you accidentally cause suffering to one another due to ignorance of the world and it's chemical compounds that I created" But did your god bother doing that? No, because he enjoys seeing humans suffer and die to cancer. Because he is an immoral and unethical monster. I damn sure wouldn't want to spend eternity with a god like that. In fact all I'd like to do is put a bullet through God's skull and splatter his brains all over the pearly gates. A just reward and fitting end for an unethical and immoral monster.
    2
  5284. t3llur1de: Do you mean to imply then that God made a "mistake" when he supposedly created the microorganisms and cellular processes that give rise to disease and cancer? How can an omnipotent being possibly make mistakes? Either god wilfully implemented the processes of cancer and disease into microorganisms and human cells (making him evil and immoral) or he made a mistake, which negates any possibility of him being omnipotent since the very concept of omnipotence excludes the possibility of making mistakes or creating unforseen consequences. If he is omnipotent, he is also ultimately responsible for everything. Including the actions of humans, because as an omnipotent being, he would also be able to predict all possible futures of all human actions and be able to tell, even before individuals are born what they will end up doing in life. So the whole argument that "humans have free will" and are "responsible" for their actions becomes utter bullshit when you throw an omnipotent creator into the mix. Also, regarding your comment about god being the author of morality: first of all that's not true because morality existed long before your christian cult did. Second, a god that cannot live up to it's own moral standards and frequently violates the ten commandments himself is in no position to judge others for doing so.
    2
  5285. t3llur1de: You still fail to account for the fact that god gives innocent babies cancer and painful diseases, and have no explanation for it. Your argument might've worked if disease only afflicted people guilty of sin. But in the real world, disease does not discrimimate based on personal virtues of the individual afflicted. They strike at both the most evil and most virtuous people alike. And this is all designed by your supposedly "omnipotent creator". It has to have been designed, because omnipotent beings do not make mistakes or accidents. It is impossible for them to do so. Why does your god hate infant children so much? They haven't done anything to anyone. They haven't broken any commandments. They haven't been able to live a life of sin, because they were just born. Yet your god designed disease that afflict them and does nothing to stop disease from afflicting them. This is the behaviour of an evil and immoral being. And you are just as evil and immoral for worshipping and praising such a being.
    2
  5286. Lucky: No i'm not asking for any kind of world. I'm claiming that your god is both evil and a hypocrite. His teachings supposedly claim that us humans are forbidden from being evil against oneanother, or we will be punished in the afterlife. We're supposedly not allowed to kill eachother (except people of other religions and races, those are perfectly fine to enslave and murder according to the bible), yet god kills us as he pleases both directly, through agents and through sheer neglect. And he doesn't even bother to ensure that the really wicked people get killed or subjected to a torturous existence. He, his agents and his biological mechanicsms kills completely arbitrarily and indiscriminately. He has the power to ensure that our existence doesn't have go be so miserable. It wouldn't cost him anything to end disease, starvation, thirst and the other maladies plaguing billions of people. Yet he choose not to. So not only is he uncaring towards all the suffering, he is also extrwmely uncharitable because he has ultimate power and has to pay no price to fix exactly everything, yet he refuses. An entity behaving this way, and then presumes to tell me that I can't break his "commandments" or live in sin, is a fucking hypocrite and he can frankly take his commandments and rules about sin and shove them up his ass. If he refuse to lead by example regarding all his rules, laws and commandments, then he can expect no loyalty or devotion from me. I'd sooner kill him than follow the teachings of his enslaved sheep.

  5287. Lucky: No I don't demand a specific world or a "perfect world" out of hand. Being atheist I realize that the world is not designed but created by a long chain of chemical processes following the laws of physics that has no intent or design behind it. So trying to "demand" a better world would be completely pointless. It would be like demanding that the ocean spits me right back up on safe land instead of drowning me if the ship I sail across the atlantic sinks for some reason. The ocean will not hearken to my demands, because the ocean is not an intelligent being with any "intent" to drown me. If I drown I do so as a matter of natural consequence of ending up in the water far from land. What I am saying however is that IF you religious people are right, and there is "intelligent design" behind the world and some sort of sentient creator made the world, then I do DEMAND that the world be made more merciful to people by this omnipotent creator, if I am also expected to accept your claims that this creator is a morally "good" being. The problem with you religious people is that you want to have the cake and eat it too. On the one hand you want to claim that the world is not evolved, it is designed by an omnipotent creator. But even though it's logically impossible for this creator to be morally "good" considering all the manifestations of evil and suffering in the world (that is the specific evil and suffering that mankind cannot be blamed for, because mankind did not decide that volcanoes should erupt, tsunamis or earthquakes to form or lethal diseases to spread and killing innocent people or animals). I'll buy the argument that we humans are responsible for things like wars and oppression in pursuit of wealth and power. The suffering stemming from that is our responsibility and cannot be blamed on God from a moral or ethical perspective since this specific death and suffering stem from the choices we make as individuals and as a species. But when it comes to natural disasters and the evolution and spread of harmful diseases, then you can no longer blame mankind for that because we didn't create natural disasters like earthquakes, volcano eruptions, tsunamis, tornadoes etc. We also didn't create disease like cancer, ebola, malaria etc. These diseases and natural disasters are NOT our responsibility. We didn't design the system that cause these things to happen. YOUR GOD DID! (according to your beliefs, not mine) In fact, almost all humans across the world will agree that if we could stop natural disasters and diseases from happening, then we would take the necessary steps to do so. But as it is, it is entirely out of our hands. Nothing we do or refrain from doing will stop earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, cancer and virulent diseases from causing us and other species pain, suffering and death. Your god is to blame. Your god created this system. Your god as well as you also claim that god is "perfect". That his power is absolute. That he is omnipotent and can literally do ANYTHING. So following pure logic, only two conclusions about God can be reached on this matter: Either you and the religious people are wrong when you assume that God is omnipotent. He created these death-causing natural disasters and diseases by mistake. He didn't think things through and couldn't forsee or stop the consequences. Ergo he is NOT omnipotent, but flawed. OR He is omnipotent. He could forsee all consequences. He didn't make any mistakes but the system he created is working just as intended. Which means: he derive pleasure or entertainment from seeing us humans suffer and die at the hands of his system. His creation. He laughs at our misery when volcanoes erupt and spew molten lava and poisonous gasses over human beings. He finds it entertaining when a plague sweeps over a human society killing innocent and guilty alike. There are no other possibilities to this equation, no matter how much you religious people may want there to be. Either god is a sadist, or he is not omnipotent. Therefore I say: if God doesn't make the world better when he should have the power to do so (if he is omnipotent), then he's just an evil douchebag for refusing. Or he CAN'T make the world better, because his powers are limited, in which case he's just incompetent. Evil sadist, or incompetent doofus. Take your pick which assesment you like the most, because frankly I don't care which.
    2
  5288. Lucky: It's not a matter of opinion but logic as well as established standards and definitions for our perceptions of evil, incompetence and omnipotence. Sure, your God if he existed might not think that he himself is evil. But according to the standards of the human race, he is evil OR incompetent. Also according to so called "christian values" and "christian morality" god is evil as well. If a human behaved towards his fellow man the way God behave towards humans, then that human would be branded a wicked sinner according to "the good book".

  5289. Lucky: No I said ask him if my statements are logical or not. If they follow logical reasoning or not. There can't be any "facts" about God because god does not even exist. I can say that i'm honestly embarassed every day for supposed "adults" who haven't yet given up the practice of having imaginary friends (that normal children usually give up during childhood).
    2
  5290. Lucky: Actually it is a fact that god does not exist. Look up the definition of facts and how they are established, and you'll see for yourself. The establishment of a fact is based solely around what can be proven. Since no one has been able to present proof of God's existence then his non-existence is completely factual. And no, your typical and expected religious defense in the form of "well no one has proved that he DOESN'T exist!" doesn't work either, because the scientific principle of establishing facts does not revolve around provin things that DOESN'T exist or DOESN'T happen. The establishment of facts only concern what does exist and does happen. As far as our current knowledge goes, it is a fact that god does not exist. Your "belief" that he does is inconsequential and irrelevant because it doesn't change the facts. But if you can present superior proof that invalidates the current model of his non existence and actually does prove that he exist, then the facts would change. But you'll forgive me if I don't sit here holding my breath in the meantime as you look for that proof...

  5291. Lucky: It's easy to prove that the colour blue exists, even to a blind person. Even if a person is blind, they can still be informed about the scientific principles of wavelengths of light and how those wavelengths interact with the human eye. The colour blue is a result of light of a particular wavelength being reflected of a surface with very specific reflective properties that reflect blue light while it absorbs the wavelengths of light that represents other colours of the visible light spectrum. It doesn't matter if you're blind or not, or actually know what the coloyr blue "looks" like. You can still learn what "blue" means through scientific methods. I mean how the fuck do you think human beings learned about light in the infrared and ultra violet spectrum? We are essentially blind to infrared and ultra violet light. Our eyes can't percieve them at all. Yet we know light in these wavelengths exist, and we also know what properties they have and how they interact with the world around us. So your example is fucking stupid and proof of your ignorance of the scientific method. Not uncommon in religious morons who stuff their small heads with religious fairytales instead of facts, because the fairytales doesn't require any thinking or reflection, only "faith". And for the hundreth time: what I have said here is not "opinions", I have stated FACTS.
    2
  5292. Lucky: Like I said. I would present the science that confirms that the colour blue is an observable phenomenon. It might be difficult to study optics for a blind person, but not impossible. Present me with a logical and evidence-based scientific model that proves that god exist. OH THAT'S RIGHT! YOU CAN'T! :D
    2
  5293. Lucky: The dense and IGNORANT person here is you. It doesn't matter if you're blind from birth or not. Like I've already said: ALL HUMANS ARE BLIND to ultra violet and infra red light. Blind since birth. We CAN'T see it at all. Yet we know light in this spectrum exists, because we've proven it exists through the scientific method. The existence of ultra violet and infra red light is not a matter of "faith", it's a fact, established by science. The same applies to all othet colours, regardless if you're diseased or injured in some way that doesn't allow you to percieve a particular colour with your eyes. You can still determine scientifically that something exists, even if you can't see it. Atoms, bacteria and viruses are also far too small for humans to see. But you don't just take it on "faith" that bacteria, viruses and atoms exist now do you?
    2
  5294. Lucky: If you can explain to a normal person what infra red and ultra violet light is despite the fact that no living human can see these colours, then of course you can explain and prove colour in general to a blind person. That's my point. I've presented the scientific arguments. The only reason you resist is because you are an ignorant religitard who can't admit to being wrong because admitting that you're wrong about the existence of god means questioning your very religion. You are biased. You NEED to believe that reality is a certain way (even to the point of being completely wrong about reality). I have no such needs whatsoever. I'm only interested in knowing what reality is like. If it doesn't contain gods, then that's fine be me. If it does, then that's fine by me too. But the only way determining what reality contains, is through the method of evidence. No evidence exist to support the idea that gods do. That's a fact and not an "opinion". Regarfless if you want to acknowledge reality or not.

  5300. The irony is that The Imperium of Man is about as diverse as it could possibly get, with uncountable worlds with different cultures, traditions, superstitions, rituals and so on. And within these cultures you have all manner of ethnic groups, sexualities, genders etc. The Imperial Creed only discriminates against heretics, psykers and mutants. So for example, you could have an all-female regiment of the Imperial Guard and it would be completely lore friendly (in fact in the Ciaphas Cain novels, regiments of the Valhallan Ice Warriors were initially gender segregated, before two such regiments were merged, with a woman being designated as their commanding officer) So Gee Dubya could've shoehorned their diversity quota in without any lore clash or community backlash, either by introducing an all-female Imperial Guard regiment, or simply do what the Eldar and Dark Eldar sprues of miniatures always had: female and male miniatures.

But Airwolf was still distinctly it's own thing, and much better in my opinon.

  5307. I believe that a European full plate would've been a little bit warmer to wear. It works like this. Many metals like iron and steel are very good thermal conductors. Which means that if you are in direkt contact with the armour, that will cool you down quickly in winter conditions. BUT if the metal is well polished on the inside, it will also reflect thermal rays in the infra red spectrum back to your body. Now since your japanese armour is laquered in black, it may not have as good reflective surfaces on the inside. But if you had a european full plate armour and polished the insides to as close to a mirrorlike surface that you can, then it would reflect a significant amount of bodyheat back to your body. And if there's a gambeson underneath the armour, it will also make sure that the wearer won't be in direct contact with the metal, preventing loss of heat due to thermal conductivity while at the same time reflecting back the infra red thermal rays from the wearers body. Now I doubt you'd want to polish away the laquer from the inside of your japanese suits of armor. But in theory, doing so would keep you warmer during wintertime. ;)

"Muh magna carta" does not change the fact that the British have demonstrated tyrannical behaviour and regimes on multiple occasions. And again, that's not exactly different from any other country so they're not "worse" than anybody else. But they have no factual basis for making the claim to be better than anyone else either.

  5313. Falcon Windblade: Well snow looks pretty. But it's pretty inconvenient. Traffic accidents skyrocket due to the roads getting slippery. And then there's the fact that roads get covered in thick layers of snow which requires snowplowing to get rid of it so normal vehicles can use the roads. And then there's the semi-melting periods where the snow basically turns into this wet, filthy disgusting layer of slush, called "slask" in Swedish which practically everyone hates. Slush is basically the napalm version of rain because the shit sticks to everything and carries dirt, filth and grime like it was almost designed to do so. But when it's actual winter and below freezing, all you need to adapt to is slippery ground surface and snow blocking your acces to things, which isn't nearly as bad as the "slush" season.

  5314. Falcon Windblade: If you ever move to a country with snow, make sure to buy an older Volvo. They're not the prettiest cars around, but since they were designed for the domestic Swedish market first and foremost, they tend to hold up during freezing winter seasons. I'm not so sure about the newers ones due to change in owners and management. But the older ones are basically the kalasjnikovs of cars. Easy to maintain by yourself, and they'll work even in harsh, freezing climates. If bought in the second hand market in Sweden, they're usually dirt cheap as well. (you could get a Volvo made in the 80's or 90's for like 2000-3000 dollars tops.

Some people really yearn for living in places like Florida, The Bahamas, Thailand, California etc. But when I look at the average temperatures there I think I'd die from a heatstroke after the first few days. :S Let's just say that i'm unlikely to be found working on a tan at some sunny beach somewhere. I simply have to stick to wrestling polar bears and moose, barechested in the snow. XD

  5324. 天使の侍: That's what the introduction video is for. It can contain all the necessary tags, so people will most likely find the introduction video first (he'll have to use that video as a "sacrificial lamb" and leave it demonetized just to explain to new audiences what his channel is all about) Or even better, he can upload several introduction videos explaining what a certain category of videos will be about For instance, let's say he makes a video explaining that this video will be about knights and European medieval warfare. Then he'll just provide a link in the description to every video he makes about knights and medieval warfare leading back to that introduction video, while keeping the names and descriptions of the actual videos more non-descript. It may sound complicated, but I think people would quickly catch on, and it's an easy way to dodge stupid, automated bots. Since bots can only be programmed to recognize tags and keywords but can't actually review the contents of the video itself. God knows that the lazy bums working at youtube aren't going to do anything about it.

  5332. Service guarantees respect. As long as the soldier follow his orders. Even if those orders means doing awful things, the contract of the serviceman stipulates that his commanding officer is the one responsible for what soldiers under his command do under orders. It does so because every military in the world acknowledge that the chain of command will break down and render any military force ineffective if soldiers are constantly expected ro second guess orders they are issued against some outside legal or moral code of conduct. This is why I even respect soldiers of the wehrmacht who fought for nazi germany. Soldiers don't get to choose their orders. And they don't get to choose their supreme commander when they are obligated to serve for a certain period of time. If you have a problem with the actions of soldiers under orders and what they do under orders, never should you direct your criticism or complaint to the soldier, but to his commanding officer, and if that officer acts under order from any of his superiors, them it is with those superiors tje criticism or complaints belong.

China and Russia as close allies mean some serious hard times for the west and most likely for Russia as well, looking at how China deals with it's other "allies". The Russian people in general definitely prefer to be friends with Westerners over Chinese too, and being friends with Russia would mean a greater position of strength against the nefarious ambitions of the Chinese. So why the hell are western people trying to vilify Russia? It makes zero sense.

If they didn't have their jobs at amazon, they might work someplace else. But they also might be unemployed and not being net contributors to society anymore, but instead being welfare burdens on society. In this regard, amazon does pay taxes, although indirectly. And with more of their profits kept, the bigger budget they have to expand. Employing more people, creating more tax payers.

Even if it means infiltrating woke companies and playing along in order to gather those paychecks. The higher we climb careerwise, the more influence we will get in the end. What we absolutely must not do is resign from careers due to our disgust of woke corporate culture, because that is exactly what globalists want. They want us to be unemployed, poor and propertyless so they can dictate all terms and set all rules because they hold all the key positions and make the most money.

  5349. Food poisoning is no joke. I caught salmonella from some bad fish I ate abroad. The sickness consisted of fever, severe joint pains, chills and the worst kind of diarrhea imaginable. Graphic detail: I passed BLOOD in my stool for three weeks and had severe stomach pains throughout on top of the other symptoms. And I could only eat food consisting of blueberry soup and hard bread and little else. Normal foods made me feel sick almost immediately and my apetite was pretty much absent. At least I had access to antibiotics, but it was not a "quick" cure.

Feminist teachers actually do that nowadays, and they can only keep doing it as long as parents don't get involved in their childrens schooling.

  5357. I'm a bit curious about the Templar order and their early form of banking. How did they conduct successful banking when the Bible expressively forbade the practice of "usury"? (the practice or lending money by the promise of being paid back at an interest) Did they have a bulla that gave them an exception to this rule?
    2
  5358. AdoraBell: Interesting! Thanks for the reply and the link. I especially liked the part about fees for paying off your loan late and I can see how that could effectively keep a banking institution going while at the same time circumventing church laws about usury. If you pay the loan on time, then the banker wouldn't grant you further loans and other bankers probably wouldn't either since there would be no profit in it for them. So a sort of unspoken understanding must have formed where the debtor purposefully delayed paying back the full amount of the loan a certain time for the bank to make a profit they're satisfied with. This seems like a very likely way of doing banking under the church during the middle ages. Speculation in coin might've been practiced, but it seems like a very risky and unstable form of banking compared to the practice of institutionalized delay fees.

  5377.  @legrand3774 : You don't have a soul, and your mind is not "special". That's just a Disney-fantasy delusion on your part. I don't have a soul either. Nobody does. Your brain does not allow you to "percieve" anything. It is your sensory organs that allows perception. Eyes, ears, tastebuds, olfactory senses, nerve endings experiencing touch etc. I don't care what drugs your own that happen to mess up the processing facility to your sensory organs, you can't "perceive" something that isn't there physically speaking. The only perception you are capable of is the narrow band of the lightwave spectrum which your eyes permit you to see. The same goes for the soundwave spectrum. You are not a bat, nor are you an owl or a shark. And no amount of drugs will ever make you "sense" anything of what the ears of a bat, the eyes of an owl, or the electrical sensory apparatus that Sharks are evolved with. I am not "arrogant" for stating this. I go with the hard, measurable science of physics and biology. If your drug induced hallucinations cannot be measured by more objective instruments, then whatever tou think you see isn't real. It's that simple. And when your brain dies, whatever consciousness you have will invariably die with it, just as the light disappears when the matter based lightbulb breaks.
    2
  5378.  @legrand3774 : Yes, because psychadelics will cause you to hallucinate things you wouldn't have been able to imagine, which upsets your perspective of reality. But just because a drug induced fantasy is vivid enough to unsettle your perception of reality, it doesn't mean that it was anything but a drug induced fantasy. There are no "magic potions" that will let you see actual ghosts and goblins that are simply "hiding" from non-drug users.

  5385. Russians aren't that anti-social though. From speaking to Russian ex-pats, one thing they all told me about is how strange they found it that neighbours in western countries seem so isolated from eachother. Yes, the brutalist hab blocks of Russia may look depressing. But what tenants would do to spruce things up is set up some greenery near the bottom floors, and neighbours (as in not relatives) would go into these communal spaces with greenery to hang out in the afternoons, chit-chatting, gossiping, playing chess, drinking beer and maybe do some barbecue. You know, the "squatting slav" stereotype, hanging out with some neighbours, eating sunflower seeds and having a beer. But when you look at the west, how many tenants of apartment buildings actually "talk" or hang out with eachother? At best they might say hello if they bump into eachother in the staircase or elevators, but otherwise they keep themselves completely isolated from eachother. As a western person myself, I too feel instinctually that it would be strange to have communal gatherings between neighbours in the afternoons when the workday is over. But for slavs, that's completely normal and a form of local community building.

Chefs experiment and take influences from various national kitchens all the time, including chinese chefs. You'd be surprised to find that in quite a lot or cases, the "non-traditional" dishes are created on the chefs initiative rather than the customers. You can't put your own mark on your food if you follow "tradition" like a slave. At some point, you're going to have to be inventive.

  5409. Got no love of Ubisoft or Assassins Creed Shadows. That said, I find it a bit strange how gamers are fine with players having the freedom to beat pedestrians to death, steal their cars, run over innocent pedestrians and shoot up entire neighbourhoods with rocket launchers and miniguns in a game like Grand Theft Auto, but as soon as a game gives the player the freedom to destroy a shrine or church, then it's bad. Don't get me wrong here, anyone is perfectly welcome to find either in-game acts to be offensive (because, let's face it, they are offensive), and if this player choice makes it so you don't wish to buy the game, then again, that's an entirely valid position to take. Just so long as nobody calls for such games to be banned from sale or intends to put pressure on developers to self-censor. Tolerance need to go both ways in this regard. There are many people who have objections to the church and other religions as well, and it is their right to have them. But they're still obliged to tolerate these religions and adherents to exist. And so, religious people must also tolerate offensive games to exist as well as the people who want to play them.

  5413. I don't like the culture of competitive martial arts of today. It's too centered around spectacle, self-aggrandizement and smacktalk.

Not to become some loudmouthed braggart like todays fighters are.

Not because I want to dismiss the hardships he went through, but because I think he'll be in a much better place mentally if he just owns it. All in all I wish him all the best.

  5417. I don't see any harm in itself that more people prefer to get news from social media content creators rather than the big mainstream media companies. If you follow a content creator, you can usually develop a good feel for whether they're trustworthy or not. A content creator that frequently lies and misrepresent news stories end up being called out on it most of the time. But with the random "news anchors" and their faceless and unknown editors and news teams, why should anyone trust them? Especially seeing as how they have frequently been exposed as misrepresenting news stories and overtly pushing political propaganda time and time again. They have destroyed their own reputation as "objective" news deliverymen. They made their bed, now they can lie in it.

  5418. Masculinity is using your biological gifts of superior strength to better your lot in life, but for the purpose of improving and protecting the lives of others, using your own family as the starting point. If your success only allows for your own improvement, then you pursue that. If your success allow you to get a family and improve their lot in life, then you pursue that. If your success allows you to improve the lot of your employees in your company, the citizens of your country, the subjects in your kingdom or even empire, then you will pursue it. Whenever a man achieves power that would afford him to help others, but he spends it solely on himself and indulging in luxuries, then he stops being masculine.

  5419. I hate this. If you absolutely have to have massive government spending. Then what good will subsidies do? The price for energy gets as high as it does due to shortages. So the sensible thing would be to create energy surplus in order to push the price down. But will this money go to building more nuclear reactors, coal plants or anything like that? No, of course not.

  5433. I think incentives play a big part in the ape intelligence as well. Basically their bodies are so adapted for their needs that there isn't much incentive for tool manufacture. Take chimps for example. They might look smaller than us, but their short stature is insanely deceptive when you look at their muscular strength pound for pound compared to ours. Those small chimps are often stronger than some of the top tier strongmen in the human world, despite being just a third of the strongmens physical size. Then of course there's their natural agility, being able to climb trees and swing from treetop to treetop effortlessly. They have all they really need in their bodies to acquire food, defend themselves from threats and escape predators. So they never had the evolutionary incentive to sit down to flintknap. Humans on the other hand, and some of our hominid ancestors were not so fortunate in terms of strength and agility, so they had to start making tools to survive and thrive.

  5437. Would be very dangerous to fire a pistol while the muzzle of it is touching someone wearing armour. In fact, it's even a problem with modern fire arms. Unless the barrel is ported somewhere to allow it to vent overpressure, stopping the bullet that close to the muzzle might cause the weapon to explode. In some semi-automatic pistols the barrels are ported at the end. Partly to reduce muzzle climb, but it also ensures that overpressure from the expanding gasses have somewhere to go. In others there is an attachment that kind or look like a compensator, but at the end it has a waffle iron shape to ensure that if you press the muzzle of the weapon into somebody's chest and pull the trigger, you won't form an airtight seal between the muzzle and the target, so any overpressure can bleed out.

  5442. As far as conspiracy theories go, i'd even argue that the moon landing being faked would be more plausible than nuclear bombs being fake. Since there were both means AND motive to fake the moon landing. The U.S has gotten pretty whipped by the USSR during the space race since the soviets were first with putting a satellite into orbit AND achieved the first successful manned space flight. So there was certainly plenty of incentive to one-up the soviets and regain some prestige at the time. But it gets really difficult to disprove the existence and effects of nuclear weapons.

  5455.  @renkol123  You're not allowed to vote for policies. Only parties. And when some parties have a monopoly on certain policies that you agree with/need, a lot of people feel they have to vote for that party, even if the party in question also promotes policies you dislike or even hate. That is a thing with the Social Democrats in Sweden. Basically they have monopolized the issues of workers rights, labour code and so on. Legislation and policies that a lot of people depend on to get by. Sadly they also took the woke pill, so they are (unofficially now) pro-immigration. So the choice you're left with is either you vote for them and try to keep the labour code and welfare intact. While having to suffer the effects of migration. Or, you vote them out of office, but then risk getting a rightwing government who will immediately proceed to start chopping up the labour code and destroy tax funded institutions that people depend on, just so they can give some tax breaks to the ultra wealthy and themselves. They did it before after all, when they regretfully got into office for eight years... Oh and back then the rightwingers also were pro-immigration because they could use it to get cheap labour and undermine the labour code, since migrants don't know their rights nor are they likely to join any unions. So I wouldn't trust those assholes further than I can spit. This is the predicament that a lot of people find themselves in. Me, I vote for the "racist" party who want to stop this crap. But while they are the fastest growing party in the country, it's a long way to go before they would have a majority in parliament. Also, because of this whole war in Ukraine thing, they've taken a hit in the polls. Because now immigration is a "good thing" again, so the bleeding hearts liberals can "save Ukrainian women and children".

If you deprive a child of ever going to a funeral when one of their relatives dies, then you're denying that child a fundamentally human and formative experience. How the hell can these morons become "Ethics professors" when they don't even understand the most basic and rudimentary knowledge of anthropology? Put them up against a wall and end them now please.

  5467. "Given the choice"... I'd say it's circumstantial. If a large party of norse raiders are offered plate armour so that everyone can get a suit of their own, then yes. Maybe. But looking at it from a historical perspective: the arms and armaments of norse raiders was very diverse and not uniform, because not every member of a raiding party or army could afford their own mail or swords etc. The only uniform thing about them seems to have been that they would almost always be equipped with a one handed weapon and a shield as a bare minimum. And their tactics were adapted to this, utilizing almost a phalanx or testudo with their shields in combat in the open. If one flashy norse raider decides to wear plate and skip the shield altogether, then his mates would see him as not fulfilling his role in a shield wall. If he were to use his shield with the full plate, then it might be more cumbersome for him (since full plate isn't necessarily intended for use with shields). So there is a very reasonable objection to the notion that they'd use full plate in the sense that it doesn't fit with their cooperative shield use as a team.

  5476.  @stephenglazer4224  I know that Krav Maga is the taught hand to hand combat system taught by the IDF. And as you may have noted, i'm fairly certain I mentioned Krav Maga as an effective system, due to the fact that it is used by the IDF. I'm not saying that Muay Thai is useless in it's entirety. What i'm saying is if Muay Thai really was such a potent form of martial arts, then these armed forces would've utilized Muay Thai in it's entirety, rather than going with Systema or Krav Maga (the latter of which uses PARTS of Muay Thai, but replace the majority of the style with it's own or borrowed elements from other styles). This because the needs and purposes of the military are different to the needs and purposes of exhibition fighters. The armed forces of the world are focused solely on practicality in as many imaginable situations as possible. The reason why they only incorporate small parts of an exhibition fighting style, is because they had to trim a lot of "fat" from the fighting style (fat being elements that are deemed useless to their purposes). This applies to Krav Maga and it also very much applies to Systema. Now you may have experience with a lot of martial arts, but I humbly suggest that you'll have a difficult time convincing me that the style of a ring- or cage fighter would be more effective in a real world life and death situation than the style trained and utilized by a member of the armed forces. One practices martial arts for sport. The other practices martial arts to kill as well as keeping themselves alive in the line of duty.

  5482.  @vinny5638  "Inexolerable fallacies" is a bit of an exaggeration. You don't think that racism is bad because "science has debunked it thoroughly". You think it's bad because the nazis have left a permanent stain on racism, and the fact that it has been thoroughly driven out of acceptable conversation by ideological puritans for decades. The racist model has more merit to it than people want to admit. It's not perfect, but few models of explanation are. Psychologists have for a long time been able to determine that humans have in-group preferences and that forcing too many different ethnicities together destabilize social cohesion and trust in society. Then there's the bell curve measuring the average IQ-levels of different races, proving that there is a difference in average intelligence between the races (with asians scoring the highest, caucasians coming in at second place and black people being at the bottom). So there's more to the racist model of explanation than people would like to admit. Neither you or anyone else denounce racist beliefs out of some "scientific" sense, but because you've been thoroughly indoctrinated that even debating racism and it's potential merits would be a "slippery slope" to the third reich and the holocaust.

  5483.  @vinny5638 : You misunderstand. I'm not trying to paint the people like Hitler in a prettier picture. Hitler was an amoral and unethical, genocidal asshole. What i'm saying is BECAUSE Hitler and other racist organisations like the KKK have acted upon their racist beliefs with such brutal and unethical methods as they have, the entire concept of racism (that is, the idea that humans actually CAN be subdivided into different races, and that they possess specific racial traits that differs them from one another, which is a morally and ethically neutral idea and doesn't necessarily have to manifest in KKK-lynchings or Third Reich Holocausts) the concept of racism in itself has become culturally and socially marked as "tainted", even to the point where actual scientists actively refrain from and avoid lines of inquiry that may actually prove that there are inherent biological differences between races, and that there's valuable sociological and political information to be gained from such research. Only a tiny minority of scientists dare to investigate these matters, and when they present findings that actually go against the virtue signalling, multi-cultural utopian ideals, they get their names and research dragged through the mud by the collective academia. I think, before WWII broke out, this "pariah" culture surrounding the concept of academic and morally neutral racism hadn't yet been formed, so scientists weren't as afraid of investigating racial differences between people as they are now. Granted, their standards of scientific research had about the same quality you could expect from the time period. But some of them might've actually been onto something important. Something that we will never know now, because WWII created a virtue signalling paranoia and collective scorn of ANYTHING that could be construed as even remotely "racist".

  5488. Sunset clauses is not a problem for Democrats. In fact it is a way of solidifying their grip on the white house. See they do some massive spending and introduce stuff like free pre-school childcare and a bunch of other "free stuff". The vast majority of people love it and grow dependant on it over the course of these six years. Then when there is an election and a Republican candidate naturally see that the public spending has to be slashed in order to fix the state finances and taxation: imagine this candidates uphill battle of trying to convince a bunch of impoverished people dependant on welfare programmes that he's gonna take those welfare programmes away from them. Meanwhile the democrat candidate will preach about giving new extentions to these programs with sunset clauses to keep the public spending up.

  5496.  @thomaslacroix6011  Call me sentimental but I think we should treat livestock way better in general, even if we still eat them. I hate the vile practice of factory farming and I wouldn't mind at all if the price of meat got increased if it means offering a better life for livestock before slaughter. The slaughter methods could also do with a lot of improvement and reduced bureaucracy. I find that the whole industry presents a glaring matter of hypocrisy. For example, if children starts exhibiting behaviours of torturing animals, then we see it as a risk of developing psychopathy (on well founded grounds). But for some reason, we allow animal torture in the factory farming industry and no one bats an eye. We benefit as a species and as a society by trying to reduce harm and suffering towards animals. It helps along developing our morality. That doesn't mean I want to end the practice of eating meat, not at all. It just means that we can definitely afford to provide a better life for the creatures who make the ultimate sacrifice to provide us with meat.

  5498.  @viysnjor4811  Yep. Release all cows and pigs. Suddenly a lot of big cats, wolves, bears and the like will be saturated with new food sources. Big cats, wolves and bears will multiply a lot more than before on account of the abundant food source. They will encroach on eachothers territories more, and that of other animal species. Then the released cows and pigs will eventually be hunted to extinction by these predators since they are too domesticated to be able to evolve into a more feral state. This will cause predators to starve to death, fight eachother for expanding territories, possibly cause them to get desperate and attack human settlements and so on. It would be a short period of plenty for predators as the released livestock is being eaten. But once the livestock runs out it will be a long perios of suffering for the predators.

  5515. A good way to demonstrate this is if you put a lightbulb in a glass of water, and then put them inside a microwave oven and then turn the oven on. You shouldn't keep it on for very long though since you'll damage the oven with metal parts inside of it while it's running. But if you do it for only a few seconds, you'll see the lightbulb light up. It has no physical connections to any powersource, yet it glows all the same due to the conditions inside the microwave oven allowing the electromagnetic fields i side to stimulate the lightbulb.

The one "funny' thing about her routine is the fact that there are definitely people out there who have similar life experience to hers, but the offenders who victimized them were black people rather than men specifically.

There are thousands of white kids going through the exact same thing being the sole white kids in a school with mostly black students. Like I said: assault is never okay. Assault means tangible and measurable damage being inflicted on the victim. But trying to forbid people from using words will never be acceptable. You are not excused from hearing other people's words. Your job is to learn to ignore words that have no value to you. This is what is expected of an adult. You're 22 now.

  5535. @Military History not Visualized: have you made any videos about Swedens actions during WWII? The official story seems to be that Sweden was neutral. The anti-Swedish sentiment is that Sweden primarily cooperated with germany at the expense of it's neighbours. But the more unknown facts seem to imply that Sweden acted more as a double agent, helping some of it's neighbours unofficially while at the same time trying to project a neutral stance towards the more aggressive nations (Germany and the Soviet Union), for example by sending weapons and ammunition to the Finns during the winter war, as well as looking the other way when Swedish military officers went over to fight for Finland as volunteers. It would be interesting to watch your take on Swedens role during WWII, if you haven't already made a video about it.

  5539. I would say that I have a nihilistic world view. But it's balanced by a strong sense of family and national pride. Since my worldview is devoid of divinity, I've found most comfort and purpose in supporting my kin and preserving the legacy of my ancestors. Gods are too abstract and arbitraty to me. But my parents, my siblings, my nieces, my woman and my daughter, these are real. And I feel connected to them in a way that isn't easily explained, and I want to be there for them as well as rely on them during those moments I need support as well. Same thing with my country and culture. These provide the context of where I and my family came from. Our cultures peculiarities are distinct and deeply ingrained. I wouldn't be able to feel "at home" outside of it. At the end of the day I do understand that in an intellectual level, the universe doesn't operate with a discernable purpose. But unlike other nihilists out there, I don't see why that should be a reason to be depressed all the time and live without a purpose. I am a man. And as a man it is my duty to attempt to reshape my surroundings into something I find subjectively more appealing. The universe may be without a purpose in it's default configuration... SO GO OUT THERE AND CREATE SOME PURPOSE DAMNIT!

  5546. Raf: I don't know if you've been following the development, but Patreon recently hit some famous youtubers with arbitrary bans (Sargon of Akkad being one of them). They even went so far as to ban them for reasons that weren't even covered by Patreons terms of service. This has lead to quite a big, and understandable backlash where Patrons have decided to terminate their Patreon accounts in protest. The exodus is so big that other content creators have felt it since supporters usually donate to several content creators at once over Patreon. Most of the content creators banned and the ones who left in solidarity with the banned ones moved to SubscribeStar. Just to cover your bases, it might be a good idea to open up an account there in lieu of your Patreon account. I am not a donor at the moment (being unemployed and still looking for work I can't justify the extra expense of supporting content creators I like for the time being), but when I do get a job I do plan to pitch in with a little something to the content creators I've followed for a long time. But I despise the way that Patreon has handled things, and I really don't want them taking a cut of anything I might donate to you, because I don't want to support them in any way, shape or form. So, if you open up an account on an alternative crowd funding platform, you could give your followers an alternative method to donate to you without having to give support to Patreon as a company. Just thought I'd put it out there.

So you can only wear a mask to possibly protect others. It'll only work in a limited manner though. If you spend all day indoors, then the exhale which bleeds out from the edges of your mask will have mixed with the air that everyone else breathes anyway. It's really just a game of statistics, nothing more.

  5557. Should also stock up on chlorine tablets and sacks of active carbon for water purification purposes. Chlorine can be purchased cheaply wherever they sell equipment for maintaining swimming pools. Active carbon can be purchased wherever they sell kitchen equipment (it's usually involved in kitchen fans above the stove). Running some dirty water through an active carbon filter, boiling it and then adding chlorine will eliminate the worst pathogens and toxins. A few might slip through (you won't be able to achieve the same results as a proper water treatment plant), but the ones that risk making you seriously and immediately ill will go away. Also, in the wild, go for running water (streams and rivers). Stagnant water that smells bad (swamp/marsh water) will make you sick, so avoid it.

  5560. I'd like to add something to the list: Weaponized Mass Migration. The process of causing as much heinous murder and social insgability as possible in an effort to create a veritable human stampede acrossthe borders of several countries in a purposeful effort to attack these countries' finances and social infrastructure, as well as creating readily available paths into other countries for sleeper agents and terrorist cells. Something that Europe is currently under attack by, from the middle east. Terrorist groups like ISIS cleverly exploit the inherent weaknesses in the defense of European countries. Weaknesses like multiculturalist ideals and compassion to outsiders. They know that Europe is sent into a social and financial crisis by the weaponized mass migration groups of refugees from the middle east and north africa, and so they do as much as possible to enable it, while sending terrorist cells and sleeper agents into European countries among the refugees, because they know that European authoritoes suffer from bleeding hearts tendencies and thus fail to demand proper background checks and border security against illegal migrants en masse.

  5571. People who claim that they could defeat a trained knight usually strikes me as people who haven't been in a fight at all (I mean not even bare knuckle fistfights). Due to a somewhat mispent youth in an inner city enviroment, I've been involved in a few. Even fights involving bats and knives. But I guess someone might argue that it doesn't compare to armored fighting, so I guess the closest analogy to that would be my years training kendo. Now kendo is a very simplified and sportslike version of japanese swordfighting with the goal of scoring points. All very formal and not very simulationist of real combat. But at least you wear armour, and your goal is to hit very specific parts of your opponents armour to score points. However, the points of contact are nowhere near as small as the weak spots of a knight armour. Kendo is about striking the head or "men" in japanese, the wrists or "kote", the abdomen or "do", or a piericing strike to the throat or "tsuki". And it is REALLY DAMN HARD to land a correct strike that will earn you points in kendo. Your opponent moves around constantly, blocks and even shoves and trips you to prevent you from landing a scoring hit (this is why kendo appealed to me a lot more than European fencing, because it's more "physical"). Considering that kendo is very formal and based around a lot of rules and you can expect where your opponent is likely to strike, I don't even want to think about what it would mean to fight an actual knight to the death. But if I were to attempt it, I'd likely go with weapons that i'm most familiar and comfortable with, which would be a dagger (preferably a long bladed punch-dagger or a stiletto) and I'd attempt to close the gap and basically be in the knights face, preventing him from being able to use the long reach of his sword. And even then it's extremely risky for me, since a trained knight is likely to have a lot more experience than me. In fact the only things I've got going for me would be the familiarity and preference with short blades and being slightly (but only slightly) faster and agile than a person wearing armour and holding a shield if I am not.

My point about people looking like slobs is what passes as "fashion" today. It's like people go out of their way to look like drug addicts, homeless people, street walkers or two-bit whiskey lawyers (like that dreadful habit of disrespecting a proper suit by wearing a jacket with a pair of fucking washed out blue jeans, or wearing a jacket and shirt without a necktie or bowtie) You wouldn't see a self-respecting gentleman of the Victorian Era or the 1920's leave his house without a necktie or bowtie with his shirt and suit, that's for damn sure.

But once she's forced into the world of adults and have to work for a living, being a rich man will immensly improve your chances of getting her than being some broke ass slob will. The only difference between the Victorian Era and present day in that regard is that the Victorians knew about this and had procedures and negotiations about it openly, whereas in modern times people don't speak of it aloud because they want to perpetuate some naive ideals of "all you need is love" when in reality that is really not the case at all.

  5591. The best type of armor during a zombie apocalypse will be: bullet resistant kevlar and SAPI plates. Because if your first worry is getting bitten by zombies, then you're doing it wrong. The most dangerous threat to your life during a zombie apocalyose won't be from the zombies themselves, but rather a combination of dehydration, starvation, disease and other humans, armed with firearms and out to kill you and take your supplies from you. However, if I were to use some sort of armor to specifically protect me from zombie bites, then I'd go with mail. Specifically the type of mail that divers use to protect themselves against shark bites. Many species of shark has significantly more biting strength than a walking, human corpse would have. So if it works against sharks, it'll definitely work against zombies. You could also make an armour out of thick, nitrile rubber (spare car or tractor tires maybe?) as they sometimes give these to bears and wolves in zoos as biting toys, and they have a really hard time trying to chew through it.

  5592. I don't think The Blades or Akaviri are that overtly Japanese-inspired. I'd argue that the Dunmer/Dark Elves are more intended to be an asian analogy (although more of a combination between Japanese, Chinese and Mongols). Not only do they run around with a crapton of Katanas, Wakizashis and Tanto's on Morrowind. The city of Vivec is pretty much entirely made up of Pagodas. You have a guild of assassins calling themselves the "Morag Tong". You have the Ashlanders living a nomadic lifestyle out of yurts, clearly inspired by ancient Mongol warriors. You also have several pieces of interior decoration that might made you think you walked into a chinese or japanese restaurant. You have "Opium dens" inspired by the real world kind. Morrowind also has a lot of wizard-, and hermit type characters with a strong resemblance to ancient chinese philosophers and japanese hermit monks. Their native gods, the Daedra, bear a striking resemblance to both Shinto spirits and indian hindu gods in many of the statues and portrayals throughout TES3: Morrowind. Morrowind itself is a volcanically formed archipelago (like Japan), but it also contains features typical of many tropical coastal regions in southeast asia like mangrove forests. Facial features of the Dark Elves if you look past the red eyes, pointy ears and blue-grey to dark grey skintone also contain elements of slightly slanted eyes and other east asian features in terms of bone structure. A lot of available styles of beards and facial hair also nods to prominent chinese and japanese characters in film. A lot of things I bring up here might not be "historical" of course while others certainly are. The rest are however pop-cultural and make a lot of references to east asian cultures.

  5593. Daniil Ponomarenko: Actually no, it isn't "countered" by your silly little question. Because you don't use evidence to prove that something doesn't exist, evidence is only useful to prove that something does exist. Also, you're the one claiming god does exist. Therefore the burden of proof is on you, not us who question your claims. You have to prove that he does exist. We do not have to prove he doesn't, by the simple merit that he has never shown himself to us and thus we logicslly assume he doesn't exist. Until proven otherwise of course. Now the sick part about religious people is that you don't know he exists, and you can't prove it either. But you assume he does for no reason. It's no different than assuming that unicorns or leprechauns exists, despite the fact that no one has ever seen them or any kind of traces of them. You belong in a mental institution. Believing in some mystical, fictional superbeing is real, despite having no evidence, and that it tells you how to live your life is basically the same as being afflictws by schizophrenia.

And socialist regimes persecuted religion, not because belief in the non material "offended it", but because all leaders of every socialist regime in history has never been too keen on the population having any belief in a different authority than themselves. But this totalitarian mindset is a product of socialist ideals. Not atheist ones. In fact, socialism is very similar to theocratic regimes like that. Theocracies always violently persecute followers of other religions than the state religion, like the Jews does against the palestinian muslims in Israel, or what the muslims do against christians in other parts of the middle east, or what christians did for nearly a millenium in Europe to pagans and jews.

Waffen-SS taking orders from the Whermacht on the battlefield is a given for tactical reasons. It would be awkward and cumbersome trying to fight a battle where you have several troops who don't follow the same chain of command as everybody else. And since the Waffen-SS weren't "real" soldiers but merely a para-military organization of genocidal maniacs, I doubt the Wehrmacht would've had anything to do with them unless the Wehrmacht got to call the shots.

  5598. If the wielder is stronger than a normal human, then the wielders attacks would be more effective if using a sword with normal proportions. If he's fighting against monsters, a stupidly large sword like the buster sword isn't going to be more effective either. If the monsters have armored skin that's hard to penetrate, then it would make more sense if the sword LONGER than normal (since you'd have a longer blade to pierce through thick, monstrous hides and be able to damage internal organs). The game is pretty good (although I dislike the arbitrary xp-grinding necessary to progress in the story of the game) but in terms of character design, Cloud Strife using such a ridiculous sword is a glaring piece of bad visual character design. It doesn't make him look "cool", it makes him look stupid for lugging it around.

Then you'll see that the number of black people shot or killed in interactions with the police are fucking pathetic compared to the number of white people suffering the same fate.

  5604. So basically Blitzkrieg wasn't as much of a formulated doctrine but more of an unforseen consequence of employing large numbers of mechanized troops and tanks for the first time in history? (I might be wrong but if memory doesn't fail me I believe the german offensive was one of the first large scale fielding of mechanized infantry and tanks during a military offensive, even if the majority of german infantry wasn't mechanized) This leads me to think more and more that one of Hitlers biggest mistakes was the overly aggressive land grabs he tried to achieve in a as short time as possible. My impression of the german offensive is that it seems to be a lot of attacks and sweeping advances, but very little consolidation, securing and fortifying the land they did take. And the more advances the germans made, the less secure each square mile of land became, compromising supply lines and logistics more and more. It kind of makes you wonder what would've happened if Hitler had been more cautious. Like invading Poland but sitting on it for a few years, spending the time and resources to fortify it, before moving on to another target.

  5607. Caramel Johnson: No it's not. Feudal kingdoms were basically formed and ruled according to the similar princioles of a modern day mafia. "Kings" and lieutenants (nobles/knights) all started out as violent subjugators who basically forced the common population to pay taxes and swear fealty to them, or they were put to death if they refused. This type of society doesn't premier a ruling class with egalitarian views and compassionate sentiments. It only encourages a belief system whereby nobles consider themselves and their lives more valuable and entitled to privilige, protection and wealth, that isn't afforded to the common man at all and all based on who happens to be born by certain parents and who isn't. So it is quite a fair assessment to claim that most knights and nobles in medieval feudal society were in fact murderous psychopaths for the most part, where those who weren't were rather the exception than the norm. If you create a society where psychopathic behaviour gains you power, wealth and privilige, then naturally the ruling classes of such societes will mostly be composed of psychopaths, because the non-psychopaths will get weeded out in time.

BLM is nothing but terrorist scum that needs to get bombed back to the stone age.

And while you're at it, how the goals you propose completely clash with the methods and ideals that BLM'a hatemongerers are spreading. Here's a pro tip: stop going around thinking that society and the world "owes" you anything, because it doesn't. You may sucker some deluded, middle class, white kids into thinking it. But they don't run society. Adults who put in real work and effort do. And they aren't going to grant you any special priviliges ot some shit that you feel you "deserve" just because you're black. "Social Justice" is the fucking nonsense here. Better learn it and grow up.

  5615. Regarding labeling the "War of Annihilation" a "blunder". While it might sound flippant calling it as such, maybe the intent is to illustrate the mismanagement of already hard pressed resources? I mean, aside from the ethical and moral aspects, diverting manpower and material resources to the task of basically murdering as many civilians as possible while there's still a full war going on, isn't just morally reprehensible but plain dumb from a strategic viewpoint. Every bullet used to execute an unarmed civilian in an effort to exterminate the entire people in the soviet union was a bullet wasted and would've served a greater strategic purpose for the german offensive by being used against the armed enemy forces of the Red Army. Of course, leaving more unarmed civilians alive opens up it's own set of problems, like creating a hiding spot for enemy spies and civilians forming armed militia uprisings. However, I doubt these risks would've outweighed the benefits of simply sparing the civilians and focusing on the armed enemies first and foremost. Not that it would save Operation Barbarossa though, since the plan was so flawed to begin with. But I'm just trying to guess the intent behind labelling the war of annihilation-aspects as a blunder.

  5619. Why would the Japanese youth care that their population is in decline? Everything in Japan is exceedingly competitive because of their massive population. You spend so much time competing for educational spots, jobs, finding a place to live etc. That you barely have time or energy to just be able to... You know, "live". If the japanese population was cut down to a third of what it is now, the quality of life for young japanese citizens would improve significantly since they would'nt have to compete as hard in order to get a decenr job since there would be a shortage in the workforce.

Frost bite in toes and fingers sets in a lot quicker in people who have callouses in bad spots in their toes and fingers than it tends to do in people with uncalloused hands and feet for this reason.

  5635. I think even mail armour will be able to heat you up as well. Being made of metal, it tends to reflect infrared radiation (heat radiation). Your body gives off heat radiation, so it would be reflected back and keep you warmer even with mail. Although the effect would be much more severe with plate, since it's basically like strapping a giant IR-reflector to your body, trapping all the body heat inside.

  5636. Someone clearly doesn't get irony. The alt-right is purposefully appropriating left-wing, identity politics reasoning and applying it to white males in order to expose the inherent hypocrisy in left-wing identity politics. Left-wing social justice warriors don't just skirt racism and sexism, they flat out embrace it when it comes to subjecting whites and white men to racism and sexism. This is the reason why the alt-right does it: to expose hypocrisy and mock the left-wing SJW's. Because the fact of the matter is: white people is the last race that is politically correct to hate and subject to racism. White men is the last gender it is considered okay to subject to flat out sexism. It happens all the time in left-wing identity politics.

Destroy them utterly with match score results like 24-0, over and over for a couple of months. Make them lose so hard that the pain of losing will traumatize every single feminist into ever wanting to bring up the subject ever again. Heck, just to humour the feminists, let the women be trained for a couple of yeara by the very best coaches/trainers that normally train male a-list teams. Give them the very best coaching the soccer world has to offer, and we can be done with this idiotic pseudo-debate once and for all.

  5641. It's a very difficult topic to discuss and speculate around. Mainly because it all bottles down to how magic works in the particular setting. Some settings offer very little explanation of how magic works. Other settings give more in-depth explanations. But there is also a huge variety in how it works. For instance, in one setting, fire based magic attacks might work on the principle that the warlock basically summons a gout of flames that emmanate from the warlock towards the target. In that setting, armour made of fire-retardant materials would make sense. But in another setting, inncineration of a target might be caused through getting the target to spontaneously combust (the source of heat and inevitable fire is caused inside the targets body), in such a setting, fire retardant materials worn on the body would be rendered useless. And in other settings, magic is sometimes basically a forced shared fantasy between the warlock and the intended target with the power of suggestion (like the matrix: "I thought It wasn't real?", "Your mind makes it real") which somehow manifests itself magically in real life. In that type of scenario, worn armour would be irrelevant, since the determining factor of whether the target gets burnt to a crisp or not is solely dependant on the targets ability to steel his mind and disbelieve the almost telepathic subliminal suggestion that the magic user tries to imbue his victim with in order to incinerate him.

The impressive nature of the Pyramids might make them worthy of preservation, unlike the so called "burial grounds" of native americans which barely constitutes of more than som pebbels and buffalo dung placed in a pile. Egypt preserving pyramids do it for the sake of preserving impressive architectural feats. Native americans preserving "sacred burial grounds" do it purrly for the sake of hogging land for no valid reason.

  5646. Great video. As a survivor of fights involving knives. I really disdain the term "knife fight" for the exact same reasons that you put forth, because it evokes an image of a duel between to opponents aware that they're fighting, when in truth a properly used knife is about as much of a "duelling weapon" as a precision rifle in the hands of a sniper would be. (or in other words: if your opponent realizes that you're using a weapon against him or even realize he's in combat, then you're doing it wrong)

  5647. Jack Decker: Technically no, demonitization is not anti-freedom of speech. But in principle, it's sort of an underhanded attack against individuals means to express themselves. Youtube appropriates some role of a sole arbiter of who gets to say what, yet youtube wouldn't exist without it's content creators. It's basically cashing in on the brand names and audiences of content creators, while at the same time attacking a few of them through demonitization on some of their videos. If you truly supported freedom of speech, you wouldn't try to inhibit people's livelyhoods because they have opinions that you don't agree with. This is a big mistake on Youtube's part.
    1
  5648. Jack Decker: Wrong. Private corporations can most certainly attack freedom of speech. And sorry, this whole "it's a private corporation, they can do what they like" isn't a very valid excuse, becausr platforms like youtube, google, facebook etc. have monopolies and cooperation with governments. These are very specific criteria that eliminates any excuse from using the "private company can do whatever they like"-logic, because this assumes that the private companies have competition/rivals which consumers are supposed to be able to turn to if the private company in question behaves in a manner that doesn't sit well with the consumers.

  5656. Scott Burton: ALL feminists are about female superiority. The bullshit about "being for equality" in all brands of feminism is tied to a pretty significant disclaimer. Namely that AAAALL feminists assumes that all women in every society is at a disadvantage (even when they're not). Like the wage gap for instance, which is a proven and debunked myth. A wage gap simply doesnnt exist in any sexist, unwarranted sense. But ALL feminists assumes it does, because their ideological overlords say it does. Nothing will change their opinions, no matter how much proof or statistical surveys you present that logically and scientidically prove thw wage gap to be a myth. So they all run around with this assumption, and at the same time they demand financial and political actions and concessions to remedy this non-existant wage gap. Pretend that the wage gap exists, then these ideas might've been reasonable. Because if a group is proven to be disadvantaged, then granting them certain positive advantages will serve to offset the original disadvantage and create an equilibrium. BUT, what happens when you give a non-disadvantaged group advantages? That's right! They gain an unfair advantage over all others. And ALL feminists agree that this non-existant disadvantage (among several others non-existant disadvantages) exists and that it needs to be adressed by granting women priviliges. The whole "idea" about being "for equality" is nothing but a deception and a front to legitimize giving privilige and power to women (mostly middle- to upper class white women). They're trying to make people think "Hey! Feminists say they are for equality. And equality is nice! Therefore feminis must be nice too!" When in reality, feminists are about as good champions for equality as communists are champions for "fairness".

I just think it's sad that not enough young, black men have the same sentiments about him, but instead worship people with more harmful ideals.

  5668. kestrel archer: Yes, "predisposition" is also a very common term in papers related to the study of biology, and it is indeed very important to illustrate changes over time. But if you work with this for a living then you probably know about these issues that I adress, right? Reason and purpose implies design, and design is pretty much the opposite way of something acquiring a certain shape or particular properties to evolution. One happens as a result of a deliberate act with a particular goal or function in mind. The other happens as a result of a lengthy evolutionary. process and specific events and properties of the enviroment that determines the current shape of something. I guess you could compare it to the way rock is shaped on earth. A sculpture with a specific shape is designed by a sculptor. The sculptor had a REASON and PURPOSE for making the sculpture a certain way. Rock cliffs by the ocean however also change shape over time, as a result of erosion from the ocean wavea crashing against them for thousands of years. There's no reason or purpose behind it, because the shape of the cliffs are basically "evolved" into it's current shape.

  5669. Trisha Demilion: You can't claim that something is "designed" when there was no conscious thought involved in it's making whatsoever. Using the word "design" in that context is a misuse of the wordin question, and just shows that you need to study your dictionary a bit better. Also there's no "goal" to survive either. The survival of certain species is just a consequence of how genes function in the natural enviroment. If survival is a stated "goal" then nature/evolution/god/whatever is doing a pretty piss poor job of it sincr only one percent of all living species in the history of the earth are alive today whereas the other 99 percent are extinct. If your success rate is only a mere 1 percent, and for millions of years attempting it even, then you're either horribly, horribly bad at what you're attempting to do... Or (and I'll go with Occhams razor on this one) there's not really any conscious effort or GOAL involved. You're basically just rolling the proverbial dice and let them land as they may.

  5673. Chuck Norris: That door swings both ways, you know. How DO YOU KNOW that we do have a "purpose" or "reason" for being here or the way we are? That's right you don't. But if we are to debate a specific subject, we can choose to either look at it from a perspective based on evidence, or a perspective based on bronze age tribal fetisch worship that has no basis in anything but human imagination. I see no reason to waste time with the latter, due to it's arbitrary and nonsensical nature. Therefore I approach the subject matter with the former perspective. And using the former perspective, there is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that any living organism has a "reason" or "purpose" for being the way it is. In fact, all the avaliable evidence points to living organisms being the way they are as a result of an evolutionary process, brought forth by external enviromental factors.

I know i'm right, and I don't need to convince you that I am, because your conviction or lack thereof doesn't change the fact that i'm right.

  5678. Trisha Demilion: So oxygen's "role" is to make us survive? :) Got any proof of that? No, didn't think so. Last time I checked, Oxygen is just a very common element in the universe, and life on earth evolved around oxygen and use it as a fuel of sorts to sustain itself. Just because living organisms depend on oxygen to survive, it doesn't mean that oxygen's "role" is to make us live. Oxygen just is. It doesn't have an explicit role or purpose. But living organisms have evolved to make use of naturally occuring oxygen, jut that doesn't mean someone or something "put" oxygen there in order for us to survive. The one who needs to stop arguing here is you, since you make illogical assumptions about the universe and it's elements without any evidence to back them up. Your model and use of words implies that oxygen was formed to "fit" life, when in reality, life evolved to "fit" around oxygen.
    1
  5679. Trisha Demilion: No they don't. You don't seem to understand the meaning behind the words "role" and "purpose". Becaude both of them not only implies but ASSUMES a DESIGNER. You can't have "roles" without someone or something assigning said roles. Roles don't just pop up out of the blue. Likewise "purpose" cannot exist without a creator designing something to have a specific puropose in mind. You also seem to have trouble grasping the fact that objects can exist without implicit or explicit goals, purposes or roles whatsoever. You seem obssessive about an idea that everything is connected into some intricate design, which is illogical since there is no proof of a designer. If I throw a bunch of pebbles on the ground, you wouldn't just jump to the conclusion that their properties and placement has a "role" or "purpose". You'd just see pebbles on the ground laying in a random order. It's the same thing with the rest of the universe. Oxygen doesn't exist because it has a stated "role". Oxygen exists as a result of natural and RANDOM chemical reactions meeting particular criteria to terminate into the formation of oxygen. You clearly need to study more semantics AND natural science.

  5680. Trisha Demilion: I see that you don't present any counter arguments.You're just trying to deflect by bringing up some bullshit hippie crap about the "possibility" that some "deeper meaning" with everything exists. To which you yet again haven't produced any kind of evidence for. Go back to school, you amateur. It's clear you won't beat me in a scientific debate. You're simply too ignorant and uneducated.

  5681. Chuck Norris: But that's not what was said from the start. What was said was that women supposedly are born with a specific "reason" or "purpose" supposedly given to them by nature, which is a statement which there is no evidence to support.
    1
  5682. Ghost Hawk: You're catching on, grasshopper. :) Life has no objective purpose or meaning. Or at the very least, no evidence exist to suggest that life has any objective purpose or meaning. Until we find some, it would be intellectually dishonest to assume that it does. People however tend to create subjective meanings and purpose to their lives. That is, whichever purpose or meaning that the individual believes he or she has in life. But this purpose or meaning is largely an invention of the imagination of these individuals. It's not really grounded in objective fact. And there is strong evidence to suggest that this behaviour (the invention of purpose and meaning to ones own existence) is a natural byproduct of genetics and having a comparably high level of intelligence compared to other species. The behaviour tends to promote survival, and therefore it exist. If it didn't, the behaviour would've died out with the speciemens that exhibits it.
    1
  5683. Ghost Hawk: I'll make a comparison to video games to make it more easily digested for ya'll. You people use words and idea that suggests that life is like a storydriven, on rails videogame. There's a very specific end goal in the game that the players reach, and all the factors within the game are created with the purpose of reaching the end of the game. But the evidence doesn't support that theory. The evidence rather suggest that life and existence is like a sandbox type of game. Like Minecraft or Garrys Mod or whatever. The users are pretty much free to do as they like, and the game doesn't have a specific "end" in mind. The only limitations to what the users can do in the sandbox style game is governed by the "rules" of the game (rules like gravity, electromagnetism, the need to eat, breathe, drink etc.).
    1
  5684. Sagrotan: Yes, I do deny it. Just becaus you present rules in the form of natural laws (like evolution, electromagnetism, gravity etc.) it doesn't prove that there is a purpose to anything. It's like saying that lightning has a "purpose" when it strikes a tree (that lightnings reason for existing was to obliterate trees) or that gravitys "purpose" for existing is to make sure that meteor crash into planets. You don't go around assuming that gravity has a "purpose" when a coconut falls on top of your head and clocks you. So there's no reason that men, women or the evolved mechanisms of conception and childbirth has a "reason" or "purpose" either. Because conception, and childbirth are both products of the same BLIND, DUMB AND UNINTELLIGENT natural forces like the gravity that cause your head to get hit by a falling coconut.

  5685. Sagrotan: I've read the Selfish Gene, and studied the phenomenon at university level. The author of that book would agree with me in this debate completely. It's you people who don't seem to grasp the meaning of the word "purpose". I suggest you go read a dictionary.

  5690. I wouldn't say that it's merely a victory of strategy, but also a defeat in strategy on the part of the french since they relied so much on armored cavalry. Yes, the armor helped their noblemen to survive, but when analyzing a battle and the equipment used, you also need to look at what usefulness it had during the battle. Imagine the costs of making that armor, and the costs of breeding and maintaining all those horses. Now imagine how many longbowmen you could've recruited and deployed for the same amount of money! The way I see it, the use and reliance on heavily armored knights is pretty much the same mistake that the germans committed during World War 2. They made these technologically brilliant tanks and warmachines, that were masterpieces of engineering. But this in turn made their upkeep exorbitant as well as difficult to produce in sufficient numbers and the logistics involved in maintaining them on the front lines faltered, which eventually lead to these tanks being a really bad investment on the germans part. Another great example of this is another of Hitlers monstrous Superweapons: The Schwerer Gustav artillery cannon. It was an artillery piece so large that it could only be transported on two parallell train tracks, and needed a souped up locomotive to pull it. While it also was an impressive and giant piece of artillery that could lob giant shells which could obliterate even subterranian, reinforced bunkers, it's net worth for Hitlers war effort was actually negative because the targets it destroyed wasn't worth as much as the upkeep and maintenance of the Gustav itself. So to conclude: I understand the fascination with advanced and superior arms and armour. The ideas and engineering going into constructing them is often quite ambitious and cool overall. And in a "fight" they will usually grant their user significant advantages. But what we need to keep in mind is that which might grant the user an advantage in a fight, might not do the same in a battle or in a war. In fact they may prove to be more of a detriment in a battle or a war.

  5691. I can also attest to the fact that video games and movies are much more effective att teaching a new language than books and schools will ever be. Especially videogames and movies with SUBTITLES! English is not my native tongue, but in grade school I was put in an advanced class of english at high school levels because I had exceeded so far beyond my peers that I wasn't learning much at all during regular classes. The reason? My mother didn't outright forbid me from watching science fiction, action, horror and fantasy for adults when I was a boy. So while my peers were only allowed to watch locally produced kids shows in our native tounge, I was watching films like Alien, The Terminator, Robocop, Conan the Barbarian, Star Wars, Predator and the like at the age of 6 or 7 years old. These films the characters spoke in english, but were subtitled in my native language. And I absorbed english like a sponge that way. I was entertained the whole time, and had that childlike fascination of these movies that I watched them over and over. Then video gaming came along for me, and I had even more incentive to learn more advanced words in written and spoken english. So when I got to the point in school where me and my peers were supposed to be INTRODUCED to learning english, not only could I pretty much read and understand an english newspaper, I could hold an adult conversation in english with near perfect fluency and even understood and could describe quite a few technical and academic terms. This is a big reason why I hate the practice of dubbing in video games and movies. Not only does it detract from immersion when for instance, a movie set in france where all the characters are supposed to be native french, yet they speak in english with some british english accent, but it also misses out on a golden opportunity to make the audience learn a new language without really realizing that they are. I wish they made more games and films with subtitles. It will only make their viewers and players better people.

I would've gone with a swastika, but I can't really get behind the nazism, I'm just sick and tired of political correctness and general coddling of the so called "minority groups", and I generally hate social justice warriors and will probably punch the next person wearing a safety pin I see in the face.

  5693. Did the Lorica Segmentata primarily rest on the shoulders of it's wearer? It looks like it would. Seems to be a definitive evolution in armor after the roman empire where plate armour rested primarily on the hips then. And if so I could see the reasoning behind it, since armor resting most of it's weight on the shoulders would tire the wearers arms faster and somewhat constrict blood flow to the arms, whereas an armour made to rest it's weight primarily on the hips will let the legs carry the armor while leaving the arms and shoulders free and unburdened, giving the wearer more of an edge in swordfighting.

  5697. I own two Punch daggers from Cold Steel. If their swords and larger weapons are of equal quality then I'd say they are pretty damn good. The daggers were surprisingly sharp right out of the box and they've retained their edge over the years that I've owned them. I generally shy away from buying swords and stuff since it's really hard to tell if you're gonna get an actual (working) sword, or some aluminium replica display piece. But if I were to buy a sword, then I would prpbably give one of cold steels swords a try first based on my experience with their other products.

  5698. Zandman26: Right, we had a multi-cultiralist right wing, libtard rule. Anf the socialist idiots in government right now swallowed the multi-culturalist bait, because they, like the rest of the non-Sweden Democrats are terrified of being seen as "racist". So the current, left-wing idiots in government continued the very same policies as the previous, multi-cultiralist libtard government did. The only truly right wing party in Sweden are the Swedish Democrats. The other parties are no different from eachother in the slightest, and it doesn't mattwr which of them you vote for, since none of them are in any true opposition to the other. The other 7 parties are largely homogenous in thought and in principle, because all of them are more concerned about being seen as "good" people, rather than attaining a competent form of rule.

  5699. From what I've been taught, Heavy Machine Gun is a designation for heavy calibre guns (like .50 and above), while calibres below (like 7,62 and 5,56) are considered Light Machine Guns. But maybe this wasn't the case during WW2.

  5701. On the issue of implementation in half-swording and murder strokes. How about reducing the number of directions you can strike from while half-swording or murderstroking? From what I understand of the current mechanics, your and your opponents first person views are essentially divided into segments. And depending on which segment of the screen you drag your mouse towards while performing an attack or parry, the attack or parry is going to be directed to that segment of the screen. This means that in order to successfully block an opponents attack, you have to parry in the corresponding segment of the screen to your opponents segment, or else your parry will fail and you will get hit. Now using a sword normally or a warhammer etc you can pretty much strike from any direction, represented by the full number of corresponding segments of your screen. HOWEVER! From my knowledge of murder strokes and half-swording, your angles of attack (especially against an armored opponent) are somewhat limited, compared to cutting with a sword normally. If you're gonna use a murder stroke for instance, then you're more likely to do an overhead strike or maybe striking from left or right side. Murderstroking from underneath your opponents guard would be somewhat awkward, and while I guess that it's theoretically possible to do like an "uppercut" murderstroke to the underside of the jaw of your opponent, it doesn't strike me as a very likely move. This could be represented in the game mechanics as a reduction in segments of your screen. If we assume that your field of view is game mechanically segmented into 12 segments (12 different angles that you can attack from, and which your opponent has to parry against), then when you switch to the murder stroke grip or half-sword grip, your segments are reduced (the bottom ones are removed completely since attacking from the bottom of the screen with a murder stroke is unlikely) to maybe 8 segments or even 6. This will of course give your opponent an easier time to parry your attacks (which would be realistic, since switching grips to murder stroke or half-swording is a very visual cue of what your opponent intends to do, so you'll know where to expect the attacks to come from), so the full plate armor will give you that advantage, but the sword user will also have a way to deal lethal damage to you despite your weapon being primarily intended for cutting and thrusting.

  5703. I'd agree that katana are easier to quickdraw due to the slight curvature of the blade. The human body and it's motions aren't evolved for completely straight movements. Most movements with arms and legs are slightly circular or curved. The European swords mentioned are all completely straight. Which has some uses (like delivering power to a central point), whereas cuts dig deeper if there is curvature to the blade and the cuts are performed with curved/semi-circular motions in harmony with the way the human body moves.

  5709. I realize why North Koreans are fleeing. What I have a hard time to fathom however is why there are no resistance movements. Yes, the government has soldiers. But the population surely outnumber Kim's treasonous troops. And given the paranoid levels of control that the Kim family tries to exert on it's population, the soldiers have to move among people on a daily basis. All it takes is starting to trick lone soldiers into separating from their units and then ambush them with 4-5 masked men. Kill the soldier, take his weapon, hide the body and repeat the process. You don't need advanced weapons for this. It can be done with nothing but sharp sticks and rocks. Guerilla warfare is certainly possible in North Korea, and every North Korean has to agree that dying while fighting back must surely be better than living under Kim's disgusting regime or subjecting your family to the risk of execution by escaping, right?

So far, nature has managed to make at least 5 billion species go extinct all on it's own. Whatever bad outcomes mankind might accidentally cause through genetic modification is small potatoes compared to the disastrous results that ensue when "nature" is left to be the sole arbiter of who gets to live and who gets to die. Your entire argument is basically saying that no judgement whatsoever is better/prefarable, than POTENTIALLY having instances of bad judgement. Which is quite insane, truth be told.

  5717. "For those of you who don't know what a weeaboo is: A non-japanese person who basically denounces their own culture and calla themselves japanese. They try to learn japanese through the anime they watch and usually end up pronouncing it wrong and looking like a complete idiot. KEEP IN MIND: That a non-japanese person can like the culture, watch anime and speak japanese and RESPECT THE CULTURE, while still keeping in touch with their own. Which keeps them from being a weeaboo. Weeaboo's basically disrespects the culture and make complete asses of themselves. Even if you don't know the definition, you've definitely seen these guys around, on the internet, at your local comic book store, in your mom's attic. They smell bad, they're disgusting." -Filthy Frank Okay, so aside from the habit of collecting weapons that you can't even use ;) I think you're falling pretty short of Papa Franku's definition of a weeaboo, since you didn't learn japanese through anime and can a tually pronounce japanese like a real japanese person instead of sounding like an anime character. And seeing as how many videos you've done about romans, roman weapons and armour, roman society and even flat out telling people that roman armour is among your favourites etc. They'd be hard pressed to claim that you've "denounced your own culture". So whatever opinion one might have of weeaboos or name calling, it's simply incorrect calling you one due to the fact that you're not living up to the definition.

Winning wars is about neutralizing enemy troops and weapons, by killing/injuring/capturing soldiers and destroying tanks, planes, ships amd the means of which the enemy has to produce these. If you waste ammunition and divert resources purely to destroy civilian targets, then you're not damaging the enemy's war effort, only your own.

  5720. LuukvdHoogen: Some bullets are made of lead. But enviromental restrictions have caused the industry to make new innovations with bullets and buckshot made of other metals (like steel). The problem is that lead has very good properties for making bullets. It's relatively soft and so deforms easier in the barrel, whereas harder metals put greater wear and tear on the inside of the barrel.
    1
  5721. Wes Hebert: The lead wasn't "in the earth". Lead is mined from rock that encases the lead and prevents it from seeping out into the biosphere. When we mine lead and dump it out in forests and other places of the biosphere it ends up causing damage to living things. That said, I do agree that the supposed lead pollution from firearms is greatly exaggerated. There are much worse culprits in terms of lead pollution, while firearms are causing a largely negligible level of lead pollution.

  5724. Filming In Portland: It's stupid trying to find a "political identity". What I vote for is no part of my identity and it doesn't define me as a person. A responsible, free thinking individual should just concern himself by voting for whichever party or group that happens to represent his rational self-interests for the time being. Staying "loyal" to a party no matter what, and forming your identity around a political ideology is what causes the kind of mess that Sweden is going through now. Most Swedes vote either for Socialdemocrats or Moderates not out of rational self-interest but because they have "always" voted for one of these parties, and even go so far as taking a measure of pride in being a "loyal" party-supporter, which is the most fucking stupid, idiotic behaviour a democratic citizen could ever exhibit. I will most likely vote for the Sweden democrats. But I will drop them in an instant if I get the impression that they won't represent my rational self-interest: which is avoiding turning Sweden into some sort of parallell state next to muslim, Sharia enclaves, getting the wages dumped because mass-immigration generate desperate people that will take any job at any pay and seeing my national culture and identity destroyed by left-wing cultural marxists. At the time being, the Sweden democrats represents the best way to fulfill these interests, but as any grown person knows: the partyline can quickly change, and if it does you better have the integrity to abandon the party in favor of something better. Not staying "loyal" or forming your identity and sense of self around the party.

  5725. Well Paul, for once I have to disagree with you to a certain extent. But then again, i'm admitedly a little bit morbid. I'm very fascinated with the shape and look of "industrial"-looking buildings. Giant factory complexes, power plants, giant machinery and industry blocks really stimulate my imagination. For me, they symbolize human achievement. End products of science and technological progress. They are the beating hearts and blood vessels of industrialized nations. That said, I do agree that it's very wierd to apply to living spaces. Sure I might be strange and eccentric in the sense that I would actually like to live in an abandoned factory (or better yet, an old bomb shelter or military bunker underground) if I could afford one. However I do realize that it is an acquired taste and that most people don't share my sentiments so it would make more sense building houses for people to live in rather than concrete slabs. So I sort of agree and sort of disagree.

  5727. Interesting video. I feel that the resources spent on armored trains would've been better spent elsewhere though. It doesn't really matter how much armor or how many guns you bolt on to a train, since there's no real need of attacking the train itself when all you have to do is sabotage the tracks to make the train virtually useless. With a sufficiently timed attack, you could even derail it instead or merely hindering it's progress.

  5728. who said that killing and conquest must be evil? Every society on earth has done this at some point in history. Conquest (and the deaths resulting from it) are only as "evil" as the society you're trying to build through it. War and conquest will always be ugly, and it is something that everyone will engage in at some point. The way to judge which is evil and which is good is looking at what is attempted to be made. Looking at all the current islamic societies that are run by islamic theocrats it's pretty fucking obvious that their goal with the killing and conquest is a rather nasty one for everyone except muslim men (women will perpetually be treated like cattle with no rights, atheists will be murdered as "apostates", young girls will be molested by old men as child brides through forced marriages etc.) Then we take a look at the society that Israel has created for it's citizens where women aren't perpetually treated as cattle, where it isn't the norm to fuck 9 year old girls, and where it is perfectly permissble to be an atheist, and it becomes abundantly clear which party is the evil one and which isn't. So no, conquest and killing per se is not "evil". As the old addage goes: you can't make an omelet, without breaking a few eggs. The people you need to watch out for are the ones breaking your eggs with the goal of making a turd sandwich.

It's kind of interesting to know what amount of subscribers you need to do it "full time" so to say.

  5731. Captain kiwi: I did. Some claims went completely against what my native japanese kendo sensei taught me. I didn't really get any explanation from the video why kendo "wasn't" a sport. Metatron started talking about "respect" etc. Well there are plenty of sports in the world where respectful behaviour and etiquette are so ingrained into the sport that it's actually a part of the rules of the sport itself (just like with kendo). The same goes for the level of seriousness in training.

  5732. masterljreddead21: No, it's not any different at all from a lot of other sports. I've trained kendo and other regular sports to. Kendo is not "more respectful" at all. Try joining a golf club for instance, and you'll see that there are just as many rules of etiquette (if not more) to observe as a member and practicioner as in your average kendo dojo.

Today tanks aren't really employed as anti-morale weapons in the same manner. But at a certain close range from the tank, you would be safer than being further away from it. Co-axial machine guns have a hard time targeting people within touching distance of a tank, just like a machine gun mounted at the top hatch will. The scary areas of a tank to be as infantry is where the tank can aim at you. And in modern times with thermal imaging optics, you can't easily hide from the tank either Now the problem with dealing with tanks at close range however, is the fact that only an idiot commander would employ tanks without infantry support. If you're that close to a tank, then there's definitely infantry close by as well that you have to go through first to get at the tank in question.

  5737. I could think of yet another reason why someone would prefer a bokuto over a katana. Namely: ease of use. Cutting with a sword isn't just a matter of hitting your opponent with the edge. It will cause a cut, yes. But to make the really lethal cuts (like decapitation, bisection or dismemberment) there is a significant amount of technique involved. Basically you have to both accelerate the blade towards your target, but also pull on the handle in the same motion so that once the blade bites into your target, you'll also have the blade running it's length, with force, along the striking area. Doing this is trickier than it may first seem. Even more so during the frantic and hectic conditions of mortal combat. No amount of training mock situations and sparring will truly prepare you for the encounter with a life or death situation and the effects it has on you mentally and physically, and what might seem like second nature to you during calmer conditions might become instantly forgotten when you're faced the the prospect of dying. A bokuto, on the other hand, isn't a cutting weapon. It's a blunt weapon. So, even with the stress of a duel to the death, you won't have to worry as much about cutting techniques as long as you manage to bash your foes skull in with the heavy wooden stick you've got in your hand. You only need to worry about hitting him, and avoid getting hit yourself. Which would be a significant stress relief and burden loosened from your mind, that might just give you the edge to win. Of course, Miyamoto Musashi is known for being an expert swordsman, and his expertise and muscle memory performing correct cuts would be second nature to him, so his use of the Bokuto was most likely the psychological aspect and getting his opponents to underestimate him. But I think that even Miyamoto Musashi himself would've agreed that the best weapon is the one that's the easiest to use on a reflexive and instinctual level. And this is a trend that seems to have held true even into modern times (which is why the Ak-47 automatic rifle and it's later iterations have proven to be so successful in warfare, since you can train an uneducated farmer to use it properly and lethally in under five minutes of training)

  5749. JamlessJiminie: Well aren't you a biological defect? Biology is, after all, living cells trying to procreate and reproduce at the core of it. Suppose that all human beings or another species evolved to be entirely homosexual. What would happen to that species then when less and less of it's individual members engage in heterosexual reproduction and have less and less offspring? That species would eventually die out within a few generations. So if you are a homosexual, then it's pretty self-evident that you are a defect because your sexuality is unsustainable across generations. Your attraction and sexual habits can never lead to procreation, so your sexuality is therefore an evolutionary dead end. A living species needs fertile heterosexual members that procreates to survive. A homosexual that can't reproduce is just dead weight when all is said and done. Luckily for you, we have developed technologies and a society that will allow you to lead a fulfilling life anyway. We even have technologies that could allow you to reproduce genetically as well, as long as you can accept the usage of sperm donors or surrogate mothers. But the fact that our species has managed to invent technological means to circumvent the shortcomings of your defective nature doesn't make your defects any less of a defect. We have invented wheelchairs as well for people who have disabled legs. Wheelchairs help these people live something closer to normal lives, but wheelchairs doesn't magically turn their disability into a non-disability, just like surrogate mothers and sperm donors cannot make gay people less defective. I don't think you are helped by trying to delude yourself that your defects aren't really defects at all.

  5750. JamlessJiminie: It's kind of difficult to be civil about it when a veritable army of your sort descend on every major city and engage in disgusting and open debauchery and degeneracy in your so called "pride parades" trying to convince yourselves and your surroundings that it's "perfectly normal" and acceptable for hairy old men to dress up in BDSM-gear and perform sexual acts on the street in front of children. If you just behaved more like normal people, other normal people would be more accepting. Personally I don't get any satisfaction for calling out homosexuality as a defect. That's just me calling a spade a spade. I don't hold your defects against you or deem you to be immoral or less of a human being just because your sexuality happens to be a genetic dead end. You didn't choose it anymore than the disabled person confined to a wheelchair chose to be disabled. But I don't believe for a second that cultural or self-imposed delusions about your defects nature will help in any way. Homosexuality is a defect. That much is evident. But it's pretty tolerable as far as defects goes. Unless they manifest in the kind of neurosis that makes gay people behave in a vile and anti-social manner like the degenrates in pride parades.

Like sending ONE DM or email or whatever where you state your disagreement with someone is okay. But sending dick pics or insulting the person because you dislike them is not.

In my opinion Lovecraft is quite overlooked as an educational author for english classes, because you want students to encounter words they've never read before so they can study them and learn more about the language.

Especially in Germania, since their tribes didn't have "professional soldiery" to begin with. Every man who was of a fit age and constitution would be expected to partake in wars when the need arise. So this blacksmith could've been a veteran of several battles. It's hard to know just by looking at their profession.

  5787.  @mrkiky  The film "Jarhead" is pretty educational in this regard to show the plights of professional soldiers. Even though Swofford was posted at the very front lines of war, he never got to fire a single shot against the enemy. It was a lot of "Hurry up and wait". And this would also have been true for the majority of Roman soldiers. Imagine being in an actual battle, and your position in the extremely effective Testudo formation is right smack in the middle of the wall of Scutums. You wouldn't engage in much melee combat at all. All you'd do is basically wait for the front ranks to falter so you could replace them. Which you rarely got to do, since it was very effective against the barbarian enemies of the empire And the men who actually served in the front lines were a minority, since most of them were tasked with guarding local garrisons in the provinces, and doing construction of roads. The soldiery of Rome was a stroke of genius in the strategic sense, since they covered all the angles. But it wasn't a surefire way of making soldiers being involved in personal fights.

  5788. Riceball01: Well, looking at the terrain and the advantage of the defenders, it's arguable that clear visibility along the beaches favours the defenders more than it favors the attackers. The infantry storming the beaches were sitting ducks out in the open and had little chance at actually shooting back at the machine gunners in their concrete bunkers and pillboxes. It was only really when the attackers got close enough to employ explosives, grenades, sub-machine guns and flamethrowers behind the wall of defenses that they actually managed to neutralize their targets. As for visibility regarding naval artillery, this isn"t really an issue. Most allied forces were knowledgeable in night time operations, even with artillery and airforce (meaning: they don't use naked eyes while firing but maps, clocks and radio communication). It stands to reason they could've employed similar tactics as they would've used if the attack took place at night. I would also argue that the advance up the beaches would've gone a lot quicker and the mg-emplacements would've been neutralized sooner if smoke screens had been used, which would've reduced the necessity for sustained naval artillery barrages during the assault.

  5800.  @garygarside9782  Well on principle, I agree to some extent. But I think there should be a debate about the "threat of violence" argument. Because a lot of the Twitterati and lefty figures often claim to be targeted by "threats of violence", yet they never show examples of tweets or posts of it. From a philosophical view i'm not sure I think a mere threat should be illegal in and of itself. However if someone is issuing threats or violence, it should be a cause for police to conduct surveillance of that person and spy on them just to make sure that they don't make reality of those threats. Furthermore, if you recieve threats of violence from someone, I think it's fair that courts will be lenient or even acquit you if you used lethal force against that person in self defense. After all, he or she threatened you first, so you have no way of knowing if their intentions are real or not, and so it should be within your rights to take forceful precautions against that person. But this debate has no bearing on Musk taking over Twitter really, because naturally Twitter must abide by the law.

So it's kinda funny seeing the soviet bloc states moaning about the evils of socialism and russia, when these countries not only got vastly improved in terms if infrastructure, education and medicine all paid for by Moscow basically, but even TO THIS VERY FUCKING DAY still use large parts of buildings and infrastructure that was raised by the USSR, again, mostly with money from Moscow.

  5808.  @robbradshaw1415  Nope. I'm not a socialist apologetic. Socialism is dysfunctional and fiscally unviable in the long term. But the facts are the facts, Ukraine benefitted from the USSR's investments into it. And they still reap rewards from those investments to this day. As did Estonia, Poland and a lot of other former soviet countries. Without the influence of the USSR, many of these countries would be poor, agrarian countries with low literacy rates to this day. The USSR was authoritarian and didn't have much respect for national sovreignty, but it damn sure drove those countries into the industrialized age and didn't shirk from using funds gathered from the Russian treasury to see it done. So my advice to you is: give shit where shit is due, but also credit where credit is due. The reality is always more nuanced than ideological dogma.

But at the same time, the courts being the way they are, it's almost impossible to get off scot free if you shoot someone with a firearm as a regular civilian. Even if the situation is within legal bounds. Both the courts and the police take a dim view of civilian gun ownership in general. Which is why the asinine Rikspolisstyrelsen is constantly pushing for rolling back gun rights all the time by incrementally extending the limitations of gun ownership. The institutions are always against you basically as a gun owner, even if the law technically permits you to get a license to own a firearm.

  5822.  @lavrentivs9891  Then you don't know about guard duty or law enforcement i'm afraid. ZERO police forces in the world (including swedish police) are taught to "prefarably shoot a suspect in the leg". Aiming for anything but center of mass is considered dangerous and discouraged of not outright forbidden. So whenever a cop or a guard armed with a weapon draws it, they're going to shoot to kill, as they have been instructed to do. There is no "shoot in the leg" or "shoot in the arm" for them. It's dangerous because legs and arms present much smaller targets and they move about more compared to the center of the torso. You might end up missing the target and hitting an innocent bystander behind them if you do. And no, it makes no sense to expect a civilian without training to have the presence of mind to issue "warning shots" when two people are currently trying to break into their home trying to kill them. That's why courts are utterly idiotic. They sit around and expect an untrained civilian to have the same disciplined mind as a trained professional in situations that even put trained professionals to the test, and then they sit there and think that they can pass judgement on someone who was in a life threatening situation, when the judges and lawyers themselves have never experienced anything similar.

So if you happen to be going to shop for furniture, pick up a package and try it out with some butter on top. My personal favourite topping is slices of fresh cucumber, but it goes well with cheese, various vegetables, paté or whatever you can think of. Also, while not the most common thing in Sweden, you can also eat it as a slightly healther variant of a chocolate bar by spreading nutella and peanut butter on it. 🙂

  5833.  @somethingsomething8511  Well yes, when you're in a deficit and don't cut back on spending, printing money is the only recourse, that's correct. It's either that or raise taxes to clamp down on the deficit. I was more thinking in the terms of the plan outside of the context of a deficit. If we discount the deficit for a moment, then one could argue that by handing out covid relief which disincentivize people from working, while still keeping the tax pressure up on businesses, you'd either force the businesses out of the country. Or you'd force businesses to pay higher salaries in order to incentivize people to work rather than live off the covid relief money. It does seem that part of the latter has occured since business owners in the U.S are complaining that they can't find employees, and plenty of restaurant and shop windows have "help wanted" signs up. So if it wasn't for the decifit, I'd have to concede that Biden is doing the workers a service by turning the job market into a sellers market for in favor of employees. But the current deficit is an inevitable turd in the cupcake in that regard, making the plan unsustainable.

  5834.  @somethingsomething8511  I'm not saying it's a method that can be used perpetually. But if it is used as a temporary measure to achieve a goal like improving wages by effectively making it impossible for businesses to run while paying slave wages, it does seem to have the desired effect right now. Some businesses would pack up and leave to find more favourable tax regulations in other countries. But not all businesses can afford to move their entire operation abroad, so you can essentially blackmail them into increasing wages through temporary measures... And once again, so long as you're not currently in a 2,1 trillion dollar deficit. The thing about money in the U.S is that the most wealthy are creating an artificial shortage of money by hoarding most of the wealth for themselves. Due to previous and current regulations they are able to run off with insane amounts of profits while leahing employees in the dirt. Especially by dodging taxes through tax planning and funneling profits into off shore tax havens. Effectively turning the U.S job market into a buyers market in favor of the employers.

  5835.  @somethingsomething8511  You fundamentally do not understand how legislation works. If you wanted, you could put the squeeze on the multinationals only. That said, I seriously doubt you'd drive out the small businesses out of the country, since they are the least likely to be able to afford moving their businesses out of the country. They'll either file for bankruptcy or they'll adapt. Also considering that Jeff Bezos has a personal wealth exceeding 200 billion dollars (as in personal slush money and not "corporate investment" money), claiming that multinational companies only have a bare minimum to work with is a bit strong. You can very much target big businesses if you want to with targeted legislation. Trump did it to the auto manufacturing industry shen they tried to outsource their manufacturing to Mexico.

  5857. We can't know for certain that all life on earth will cease to exist as a result of a nuclear exchange. Furthermore, the film actually talk about a potential fallout-esque post-apocalyptic future where the elites have taken shelter in underground fallout shelters to "continue the nation", and there is little doubt that the top strategists are actually thinking in these terms. So they won't launch nukes out of spite. They'll launch the nuclear counter attack because, at least on paper, they have contingency plans for what to do after a global nuclear exchange. Whether the plans will actually work or not is a matter of debate, but these strategist definitely envision an "after" here and not the wholesale extinction of all life on earth.

  5866.  ShekelShirker  No, the evidence stacked against Epstein is pretty damning. But whether they did it due to a belief in the occult, or if they did it out of more secular, and sexual perversions is harder to say. But IF they did it for occult reasons, then all the more reason why logic and rationality should oppose religious superstition even harder, since religious beliefs in the occult clearly inspire wealthy people to do sick and depraved shit towards children.
    1
  5867.  ShekelShirker  "Smart" is not the same as wisdom or experience. Being smart helps if you want to engage in science. But smarts alone will not buy the wisdom and experience coming from it. Only time, effort and experimentation does. (scientists learn the most from their failures, not from their success) If these supposed occultists really wanted to understand the universe, they wouldn't dabble in the occult. They would pursue careers in science and get that hard earned experience and insight in the process. The trappings of occultism is usually some far fetched idea that you can purchase wisdom through supernatural shortcuts (deals with the devil, forbidden knowledge and similar tropes). But that doesn't work in the real world. So while a character like Epstein might be smart, that in itself is not some sort of quality assurance of his potentially occult beliefs. His beliefs (if he really had them, which is yet to be proven) only show that he's lazy and impatient. He tried to make bargains with demons (that don't even exist) in order to acquire knowledge a quicker way than what science would've gotten him if he really applied himself and put in the required elbowgrease. Or to condence my argument: A theoretical model by Albert Einstein is not more "valid" just because Einstein proposed it. It's valid on it's own merit since anyone else could test it and reach the same logical conclusion as Einstein did.

  5868.  ShekelShirker : I'll take that challenge. Perform some occult ritual where you summon a real life demon from some alternate dimension into the physical world. Then tell me how to perform the same ritual myself so I can replicate the results. I'm not a bigot. I won't dismiss your theory out of hand. So here's your chance to prove to me that there's any kind of merit in occult beliefs.

  5870.  ShekelShirker  We wouldn't struggle replicating those structures today. The pyramids of the pharaos and the like are only amazing due to it's temporal context. But comparing any of these wonders to your average skyscraper makes the ancient wonders seem like childs play in terms of structural engineering. The reason why we don't explore these "alternate paragdimes" is because modern science has surpassed them in every measurable way. If ancient egyptians saw the kind of bridges we erect today, they'd believe it was magic. Because to their understanding of engineering, those bridges shouldn't be standing. They should collapse under their own weight. Or something so insignificant as a smartphone would be a miraculous wonder to them, since they had no chance of replicating one with their limited understanding of physics and elecrical engineering. I'm not bashing their achievements here. They did great things with the contemporary knowledge and materials available to them. But they just don't compare to what we have built today and will build in the future.

Not that I'd want to deprive them of it. It's just that I think you can do more varied and interesting things with the comic book medium. And I suppose that's why stories like Spawn and The Punisher just appealed to me more. Neither of them were "heroes", nor even people you wish you'd want to be. I mean one is a resurrected corpse sent back from hell to cause as much carnage as possible. He has to constantly suppress a deep desire for revenge, and he lives in rodent infested allies with only homeless hobos and alcoholics to keep him company. Even has to sleep in dumpsters in a writhing mass of earth worms to regain the magical energies that keeps him going. The other had his family murdered, and currently lives in a utility room in the subway, with a crapton of guns and and equally strong desire for revenge as the former character. It's interesting to explore. What keeps these characters going. How will their motives and methods impact other people. Not just the "bad guys" they're after, but everyone caught in the crossfire. Will the find some sort of redemption or peace of mind in the end? These stories are far more appealing to me than stories about some OP dude wearing his underpants on the outside, flying around and picking up school buses from falling off cliffs or bridges.

And the Japanese got their due punishment during WWII. Several cities burned to the ground in allied fire bombing attacks and two nuclear bombs destroying Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It might not have been China that did these bombings, but suffice to say that the Japanese were severely punished for partaking in the war. They unconditionally surrendered and have since changed their ways for the better. There's no point holding onto a grudge for things that ones ancestors did or suffered. You wouldn't want to be hated for things that your grandfather or great grandfather did, right? You have to let ancestors be responsible for what they did, and people of today be responsible for what they do. We'll never see a better world for ourselves or our children if we hate and fight eachother "on behalf" of ancestors. They won't thank us for it from the other side of the grave.

  5920.  @magtovi  I don't believe the architect was perfectly honest with Neo in this regard, due to the fact that he was one of the loyalist programs. And when he talks about imperfections, it just hearkens back to what Smith told Morpheus in the first film that they tried to make the matrix into a perfect world where everyone would be happy in the past, but the human minds ended up rejecting it. Considering how much of control freaks the loyalist programs and the machines in general were with the matrix, it doesn't make much sense to arbitrarily grant one individual special priviliges to be able to single handedly nuke The Matrix on his own. The machines worry about crop losses after all. Every Neo that was born must've entailed pretty massive crop losses. So it's definitely not a desired feature in the system that the machines put there by design. I also think this theory creates a satisfying conflict between the machines digital and artificial code and humanity's genetic code. As if mankind is hardwired to break free from bondage imposed on it by an external source. That whole "life will find a way" thing from Jurassic Park and all that.

  5921.  @magtovi  By trying to intimidate Neo through crafting a narrative that Neo's and his friends struggle is futile, and telling him that not only did the machines encounter this many times in the past, but they supposedly implemented these revolts as a feature, he was trying to manipulate Neo into giving up. The architect, like many of the other loyalist programs is not "just" a calculator. He's working towards maintaining the status quo of machine dominance over humans. In the first film they tried to kill Neo. But it didn't work. So the next logical step is to try to manipulate Neo into giving up or serving their purpose somehow.

It'll make him look like a butcher. And trust me, the Russians definitely have the means to turn every Ukrainian town or city to gravel. They are pulling their punches for a reason. They want to capture the cities first and foremost. But at the same time, Russian troops once in action, aren't very reliable. They look out for number one first, and will bend the rules and skirt orders if they feel it is safer for their own lives to do so.

Her reply was basically "Well what about Hitler?" As if germans living today should just accept being subjected to sexual assault by foreigners, because Hitler did bad things in the past. That's why you have to stop going on this idiotic self-imposed cultural penance for WWII. You're not helping anyone by doing it, and you're only hurting yourselves and turning your society into something twisted and depraved. The lesson from WWII should be "Let's not engage in wars of conquest and ethnic cleansings again. That was a mistake."

And yeah, those countries demand reparations from Germany because that's what countries do: they always try to get free money out of other countries by playing victims and moralists. Russia did that against Finland too. Forcing the Finns to pay "war reparations" because the soviet union lost a war against Finland which the soviets themselves started. It's hard to respect you germans until you stop kowtowing to every ill spirited actor who constantly drag up the ghost of Hitler to browbeat you with. Grow a spine please.

They have zero motivation to do anything with their lives. My life must contain struggle and challenge, or else it is completely without purpose. Surrendering my life to the whims of some "God" is essentially the same thing as just quitting my job, stop trying to build things and sit around smoking pot every day. When you're high on a drug, you'll feel fulfilled. Keep the drug binge going and you'll feel constantly fulfilled without reason, purpose or meaning to do anything else besides continue the drug binge. I don't want to eliminate any "needs" or "wants" from my life. That's what Buddhist monks try to do, and they're about the most improductive people in existence, along with the drug addicts.

The fall comes from people indulging in limitless hedonism as a replacement for their asinine suckling at the teats of the church and it's mental opium, which I don't do nor believe I should do. My ideology values independence, critical thinking and responsibility. It doesn't have room for living like a slave to baser urges like sexual promiscuity (there's completely logical and non-religious reasons why it's a bad idea to sleep around) or being a drug addict. And the funny thing is, your "church" is filled with the same kind of lazy hedonists that you yourself seem to despise. Especially in the upper echelons of your religions power structure. Priests, bishops, monks, cardinals and popes are exceedingly wealthy and live far more comfortable lives than the average joe ever does, and have always done so in every religion known to man. And they are able to indulge in this vile hedonism and lazy lifestyoe by conning sheep like you out of your hard earned money. And not only are they conning you out of your money, but even fool you into revering them for being "messengers of god" or some shit like that. There is ZERO logic in being a religious slave. Never has been, never will. And regarding your stupid statement about "not having all the answers", we'd have EVEN LESS answers about the universe today if there wasn't people who broke away from your religious "god did it"-explanations and actually STUDIED the universe and unlocked several secrets which were hidden in religious superstition by their primitive ancestors. The pursuit of knowledge and science is infinitely more valuable than just accepting to not know or be content with the illogical and factually untrue statement that "god did it".

  5960.  @Leonardorussobr : No, christianity did not bring "order and morality" among Europeans. The majority of all those so called "christian values" actually existed in Europe long before christianity even existed (several of them were stolen and appropriated by the church from the greeks, but also gauls, germanians and scandinavians). The only "unity" that christianity brought about among Europeans was a closed trade network (christians refused to trade with non-christians, so the only way to get access to the larger European markets was through conversion, candid or not). Essentially christianity practiced marxism by trying to close off the major portion of the european market and economy and forcing anyone who wanted to partake in it to join the cult. Also stop embarassing yourself talking about science, becaude your cultist grasp of science is feeble and ignorant in the extreme. Far more brighter and educated people than you have proven the origins of the universe. Your silly little fairytale book written by ignorant morons living in the fucking bronze age has no answers of any scientific merit or value.

  5965. WithBrittany: I understand. I guess when I think of the word "culture" it basically means the whole package. While the aesthetic and culinary aspects like you mention are certainly part of a culture, I'd say that certain ingrained values and moral beliefs also compose a part of culture as well. And some, very traditional, conservative people tend to believe that you'll "lose" your culture if you change some of the values and morals. But I'd argue that both South Korea and Japan are very good examples of Asian cultures who have successfully adopted certain changes to their culture with many influences from the west (like in the tech industries and economy) while still maintaining a great emphasis on the traditional aesthetics and culinary practices in a very harmonious and balanced way. People from Korea still seem to put great value on things like hanbok, traditional hanok houses and such while still very capable of adapting to and incorporating international practices and activities that serve to benefit the country financially and making it a powerful country in global trading. This is something I try to highlight as a shining example in my own country. Being a European, sadly we're afflicted by a "multiculturalist" political movement, that seems more hellbent on completely destroying everything that sets my own countrys culture apart from others, even to the point where they try to eliminate and/or ridicule things like aesthetics and traditional foods. So when I try to argue against it I tell people to look to South Korea and Japan and how you have successfully maintained a balance and harmony between the traditional and the imported. But still it breaks my heart a little to think that some koreans may feel a cultural pressure to give up their children for adoption if they're not born with perfect health. So that's where I see that some changes might be proper.

  5968. This is one of the primary reasons why I object to legislation that protects exclusive rights to so called "intellectual property". People might naively expect it to merely be about protecting the ownership over films and books owned by authors and movie studios. But it will never stop just there, because biologists and medical companies are also "copyrighting" the discoveries of genes and their manipulation to treat illnesses AND perform hereditaty human augmentation. So basically, companies like Pfizer OWNS some of your genes that you were born with. And no, they don't have to manipulate any of your genes first. It is enough, according to the law, to simply be the first to discover a gene and catalogue it's function in order to claim ownership of it. So the corpos are basically allowed to directly own parts of your own body, which they certainly did not manufacture. This is why copyright and IP should be abolished from all legislation globally. Not only is it anti-capitalist and anti-free market, but it's also a stepping stone on the path to bioslavery.

  5997. Christopher Nelson: But most societies are not composed of people like you. Most societies are composed of people that do take issue with it. You can wish for it to change as much as you like, but the probability of that happening is slim to say the least. If young women wish to function normally in society, then they need to stay away from doing porn. Either their own values will lead to psychological problems for them (because far from all porn actresses are as "fine" with doing porn as others are), or people in society around them will have negative reactions to their choices which hurt their future options. People need to prepare themselves for what the world IS like, not for what they would prefer it to be like.

  5998. Christopher Nelson: I'm not proposing that society is right or wrong. I'm a scientist at heart. I only deal in what IS, not what I or other people think it "should" be. Moral arguments and discussions about them do not really interest me because you can't scientifically prove one set of morals to be more "right" than another. What I can do however is make somewhat accurate observations about prevalency of moral ideas. That some are in a majority while others are in a minority. And if you decide to stick to ideas that are considered taboo by tje majority, then you will have to pay a price for it and suffer.

  5999. Christopher Nelson: Everything about humans bottles down to functions of biology. Including human psychology and the social behaviours, norms as well as taboos. If you look at sex and attitudes towards sex from a strictly evolutionary perspective, then promiscuity in women is a clear deviant behaviour and has quite valid explanations as to why promiscuity in women is discouraged. This because women can only produce a limited amount of eggs through their ovaries during their lifetime, whereas men can produce sperm cells at ages where the majority of women are completely infertile. Also, pregnancies in women are relatively long and usually only result in a single offspring. And when the baby is born, it also require years of nurture and protection in order to mature to adulthood and become self-sufficient and be able to carry on the genes of it's parents. In the modern world we have access to birth control in the form of contraceptives as well as abortions. But these inventions are relatively new, and it would be naively optimistic to assume that human psychology and behaviour should've evolved fast enough to take birth control into account. In a fully natural context, women can't control pregnancy. In nature, women have a survival imperative to be strictly selective regarding mates and only invest her limited eggs with a worthy partner. For men it's completely different. The genetic survival strategy for the male gender is to impregnate as many women as possible in the hope that some of his offspring will survive to adulthood. This is what is known as "sexual conflict" in biology. Women and men, on account of their different reproductive organs have different strategies and clashing biological interests in how they pass along their genes. And from the male perspective, there is also a biological justification to avoid selecting a long term mate who exhibit signs of promiscuity. Because if a man does settle down with a woman who sleeps around, then he also risks wasting his nurturing efforts on offspring that doesn't belong to him. Once again, scientific acheivements allows humans to test if offspring is really theirs, but we can't assume that our psychology and social instincts have been able to evolve fast enough to "catch up" with these recent inventions.

  6000. Christopher Nelson: Well on a personal level, I think all people should have safe working enviroments. Which is why I oppose things like making prostitution illegal, since it creates much more dangerous situations for sex workers than a legal, taxed and regulated market does. But this concerns physical safety. You can't eliminate the potential social consequences and impact that a person encounters by involving themselves with the sex industry. Not through legal means at least since it would invariably require violations of freedom of speech and freedom of opinion.

  6003. It's not that hard to convert in your head. I usually think like this: 1 inch equals 2,5 centimeters. It's not exactly 2,5 centimeters but it'll give you an inkling of what caliber is being spoken about. So if they say .50 cal. Then that is 0.50 parts of one inch i.e half an inch. 2,5 divided by 2 equals 1,25 centimeters. But there is no such thing as a 1,25 cm caliber in metric. But there is a famous 12,7mm. So a .50 must be 12,7mm (although this only concern the measurement, it doesn't account for powder load or cartridge length) With feet I usually think that there is three feet in one meter. Once again it's not an exact conversion, but it's close enough to get the gist of what sort of measurement is being talked about.

  6057.  @Jimbotheone  Yes, turkey elbow shooting feels most comfortable even for someone taught not to do it. So avoiding to do it is purely to present a smaller target profile as well as ensuring that most of your target profile is taken up mostly by your plate carrier so if you get hit, the ballistic plate will catch it rather than another part of the body. Of course it's all a game of statistics and trying to nudge them in favor of your survival as much as possible.

  6058. @borregoayudando1481 Old post but, today it seems the era of the missile has passed and the era of the drone has dawned. And it makes sense in a way. While ballistic missiles are faster, they're more troublesome to build and make work (rocketry can be a bitch when you try to attain stable flight). Drones may be slow by comparison, but they're small enough to make detection difficult and you can really zero in on the target up until the moment of impact. Parts to make them are cheap and readily available too.
    1
  6059. @borregoayudando1481 The GPS guided drones are, yes. But from what I've been told, the RC drones used in the field are less susceptible to jamming. I guess it's got something to do with the radio bandwidth that the RC drones use is too close to radio communications, so if the enemy hopes to use jamming against RC drones they'd essentially cripple their own radio communications too

  6063.  @that_goth_bitch3899  First off: I'm not american. So the name I posted for the movies are a localized translation of it. "Nightmare" just never spring to mind for me when thinking about the series. To continue, IMO crossovers suck in general. Can't remember a time when I've ever seen a good one. My reasoning here was that Candyman and Freddy share a conceptual similarity in terms of being kept "alive" and dangerous through people's memories/dreams of them. Jason Voorhees is a more "physical" beast, so the combination of his franchise and Freddy's seem a bit odd to me. That's all.
    1
  6064.  @thedukeofchutney468  Think of it this way, Candyman is a revenant who's life was unjustly robbed from him. A cruel twist of fate made it so that he can still cling to existence so long as he's murdering people to keep his memory alive. I don't think that's entirely unsympathetic. It's reminiscent of vampire mythology in the sense that vampires have to feed off the living to continue their own existence. And it hearkens back to the age old question of the two starving men stuck on a deserted island and cannibalism is the only solution for one of them to stay alive.

But over here, it's literally just a matter of informing the correct authorities that your current home adress is "over here" by putting in some paperwork. The only thing that would happen for the person who actually lives there is that they'd get the mail adressed to the "live in", which she can probably pick up on her own. So she's not physically living there, she would just have the adress as her listed place of residence that's all. I didn't mean to suggest that he'd actually take her in to stay (although I'd certainly applaud it if he did), I was just trying to think of some way to help that would mean the absolute least amount of trouble for him. And it's not like it has to be prolonged either. Once she's gotten her valid ID, passport etc. Those documents will be valid for a few years before needing to be renewed, but by that time she should've been able to open a bank account and get some aid from the social welfare office and may be able to find a place to live in that way.

That's not doing a boycott, it's just being an asshole.
    1
  6089. @no name Why? Chances are the truckers position is along the lines of "look, buddy. I don't sell this stuff, I just transport it and collect my payment". Which is perfectly fair and reasonable. Also if you try to think one step further: truckers are a cost to AB. The longer the truckers keep working for AB, the more money it'll cost AB. And since AB's revenue is going down, it means the truckers help speeding up AB's collapse. So discouraging truckers to work for AB will only help AB in the long run since truckers quitting means: AB don't need to pay them wages.

  6115.  @Shade7x  Well, based on my own discussions and interactions with christians, I have yet to meet any idealistic ones like that. In fact when I prod them about their beliefs it usually elicits questions like "Well if God doesn't exist, then why should anyone lead a moral and responsible life?" Or "How do we determine which morals are right if God doesn't exist? Without God there can be no morality" The only implications I can gather from this is that these christians think that unless there is a celestial punisher in place, people will just run rampant, doing evil, including themselves and that the only thing that keeps us in line is God and his threats of hellfire for those who don't lead a good christian life. This is also a big reason why I have a hard time swallowing the holier than thou attitude of many christians, because their "good and moral" behaviour just come across as really insincere to me. You're not a moral person just because you behave yourself when threatened with painful and horrible punishment if you misbehave. That just makes you a doormat in my book.

Wish I could get my hands on the perpetrators and subject the scum to what they deserve... In any case, do what you can to heal and move on as best you can. This world is sadly not one ruled by justice. But if you can find the strength to lead a meaningful and productive life despite of your experiences, then that is a victory in and of itself.

And then everybody is surprised why the Russian Federation treats western countries as enemies now 🙄

  6134. My issue with race swapping is that the reasoning behind it is so glaringly transparent. They woke brigade treats the fiction as a turf war. Their reasons for race swapping characters are not honest and has nothing to do with artistic merit. They are literally acting like a dog who runs up to urinate on a fire hydrant located in another dog's turf. It's an act of racial humiliation and domination purposefully made to anger people. Let's say they cast a black Ariel in the 90's for example. At worst people may have found it a bit odd, but the extreme political subtext of post 2015 just wasn't there to the same degree so most people would have just shrugged and not paid it much attention. But now you have a big faction of lefties talking about how they want to erase white people from existence, then it justifiably becomes a bigger issue.

  6160. No, admitting that lockdowns was a mistake now, will just seem like the Tories are trying to excuse their actions. The right course of action would've been to not have any lockdowns in the first place. But if they were hellbent on having lockdowns, they should've damn well followed their own lockdown restrictions to the letter and lead by example. But being Etonian elites, naturally they thought they were above the law. Even their own laws, and didn't mind rubbing it in everybody's faces. Until the Tories stop with their blatant corruption, they will lose. Frankly, Boris Johnson should've resigned as an act of penance and seek to promote a party leader with a more spotless record.

So somewhere in the world, there's definitely public institutions who haven't accepted wokeism as gospel and thus offer better education than most western universities.

  6178.  @Nikarus2370  I live in Scandinvia. Haven't heard of any MakerSpaces here. But it sounds like a good idea. Regarding your question: don't you mean arm the torpedo? I assume that once the torpedo has left it's tube, disarming it is of little concern. But regarding an arming device, I suppose it could be done in a number of ways. Radio controlled solenoid that blocks the exploder from activation until the proper radio signal is sent. Or it could be something mechanical like a metal wire attached to a loop at the rear of the torpedo (like the propeller central axle), and the loop in turn functions as a safety mechanism until it is pulled out hard by the torpedo traveling towards it's target. Or the explosives and detonator charge could be composed of a separate piece which you only insert in the torpedo just before launching it. I guess it all depends on desired weight, dimensions, costs and difficulty of manufacture really.

Granted, it involves a lot of killing and destruction. But the quantum leaps made in engineering and technology is not only captivating, but also usually end up helping mankind in the end. Most of the technological marvels and conveniences we use in our everyday lives can trace their origin to technologies developed for warfare originally. My theory is that people are simply more spurred to be inventive during war than during peace. If you're not being more invetive than your rivals in peacetime, all you risk losing is market shares. But if you're not more inventive than your rivals during war, you risk losing your life and the future for your whole society.

  6210.  @ifanmorgan8070  Those are normally brand names, not dishes. "Champagne" is not a food. "Champagne" is just sparkly wine created in a certain region that has had the name copyrighted. Plenty of other countries also produce sparkly wine that will taste almost exactly the same as Champagne, but they can't call it Champagne due to it being more of a brand name than anything. It's not comparable to a dish, like for example: Tikka Masala or Swedish Meatballs. Because an individual dish is not a brand, it's just a recipe with literally thousands of variations to it. If an american fries Swedish Meatballs in the U.S, using a traditional recipe or something they made up, it's not like he's forbidden from calling it "Swedish Meatballs". But Swedes who know full well what they should contain, look like and taste like will say that he can't cook Swedish Meatballs. It doesn't mean he or she "infringed on Swedish culture" it just means he or she is a bad chef and that's all there is to it.

It ranges from raw fish to raw horsemeat. What cooking did for humans is reducing the risk of contracting a lethal bacterial infection from consuming meat, as well as making the meat more easy to chew and digest. So on average, less people risked dying because of slightly spoiled meat (the man of the stoneage didn't exactly have freezers or refigerators to keep meat form spoiling) But even to this day, you can eat raw meat. But to do it safely you have to make sure that you eat it fresh off the carcass of a freshly killed animal, because harmful bacteria attracts to exposed meat very quickly.

But on every single issue they have just proved to be that the "slippery slope fallacy" wasn't a fallacy at all but demonstrable fact. We tolerated LGBT. And after only a few years we've seen how they treat children ("Minor Attracted Persons" and trans indoctrination of kids) We tolerated safe, legal and rare abortions. We now see a disgusting abortion epidemic treated in the most flippant manner imaginable. We tolerated minorities and immigrants, and we've all seen how that paid off. The slippery slope is real, and we've been proven fools for giving concessions to the left. Now is the time to push back, push back hard and never EVER entertain left wing ideals again.

"When is feminism obsolete? What are your defined goals?" Either they don't have an answer, or they say that feminist activism will always be relevant. They have no "end goals". It's all about self-perpetuation and creating new conflicts where there were none before. Contrast that to an organisation like the IRA for example. They had terms to which the UK could agree to. And when they did, the IRA ceased their activities after the Good Friday agreement. But with wokists, there is no Good Friday agreement to be had. Whatever concessions you agree to with them, they will ALWAYS demand more.

  6233.  @benjaminsmith3843  The usage of body armour in violent crime by the criminals has increased in the U.S though. And i'm not saying that the 9mm is a bad round. I just wanted to correct some facts, since the way I read your post it made it sound like it's a "weak round" meant for suppressive fire rather than engagements. It is used for direct engagements by some anti-terrorist and special forces units right now. Specifically in the FN P90. That said, it is kind of a "crossover" round that probably won't be around for too long, since a lot of gun manufacturers making PDW weapons are opting for PDW's that fire full, rifle cartridges instead of pistol cartridges. For example the Knights Armament PDW. Also Magpul was prototyping a PDW called the PDR-c. Both of which fire 5,56 NATO rounds. The danger of using a 9mm for civilian defense lies in if the aggressor is using body armour. With more high powered cartridges, even if the body armour stops the round, the wearer will get severely winded and probably crack a few ribs. But a 9mm doesn't have the same punch against body armour, so a perp wearing it while shot with a 9mm is unlikely to go down or stop shooting.

  6234.  @benjaminsmith3843  Yeah, logistics matter. I wouldn't tell anyone to go for a FiveSeven pistol over anything that is chambered in 9x19 millimeter either. You want your ammunition to be readily available after all. Go for exotic stuff and your wallet will hurt badly. And the 5.7mm round should arguably be considered an exotic round.

  6235. With some home tinkering, I bet you could increase the energy quite a bit on that thing. I'm thinking a high-pressure hose attached to the back of the gun where the airtank would usually go, and then you carry a bigger airtank with greater pressure capacity connected to it on your back. Unfortunately I can't buy this gun where I live though. The laws regarding unregulated firearms are decided by muzzle energy, and not the function. Can't own any air rifle with a higher muzzle energy than 10 joules.

But the jeeps would've made sense in that kind of enviroment too, combined with the doctrine of the armed forces called "The Free War". Basically it's guerilla warfare but with a conventional army. The country just doesn't have the GDP necessary to maintain a large enough fighting force to keep a foreign invader "out" of the country. So instead they're betting on pulling the foreign invaders in and making their stay as miserable and untenable as possible. The russians are regarded as the primary threat in this scenario. And they had their fair share of being subjected to that kind of warfare when they invaded Finland during The Winter War.

  6248.  @benpark5074  I don't have any problems with being gay. So that's not really an issue at all. Frankly being gay would be kind of convenient since dating and relationships seems to be less complicated from my experience with gay couples. If I see guys with a lot of fitness to their bodies, the only conclusion that I make is basically along the lines of "Hmm, that must be useful for heavy lifting or physically taxing activities". But I don't see any beauty in it. Only utility. It's like comparing a well engineered tractor with a souped up engine to a budget tractor with a weaker engine really. There's no beauty to either vehicle. The only thing that matters are the specs and capabilities. I guess what turns me off the most from the male physique is their almost simian appearance. The jutting brow, the oversized chin, the hair. It reminds me more of some kind of monkey than an object of beauty. Beautiful women don't have the same kind of simian characteristics to their appearance like men do, so that's probably why I can recogonize their beautiful features and tell them apart from the less attractive ones. And before you ask, yes, everything I've said applies to what I see in the mirror too. But i've never felt bothered by it since looking "beautiful" was never a goal of mine to begin with, and I haven't experienced much trouble with romancing the opposite sex either. So, apparently my own appearance is agreeable with the women I felt attracted to. I don't really need to understand or relate towhat it is that they find attractive, only that they do.

  6300. Sheait: I buy iron ore cheap. I transmute the iron ore into gold ore and make gold ingots at the cost of nothing. I sell the gold ingots for a profit. See how this would make a real world economy go bust yet? Also, the gold goins in Skyrim are supposedly made of gold. In feudal systems they usually made coins of noble metals in order to give the coins themselves an intrinsic value. They didn't have things like gold standarda or fiat currency backed up by some kind of equity. And as far as I know, the world of Skyrim doesn't either. So we assume they make the gold coins out of gold to give them intrinsic value by being made of a precious noble metal. Yet the value of such metals would plummet where any idiot with a magic spell can simply make gold out of less valuable iron ore.

  6319. DrDrae3000: Actually, several states in the U.S have stand your ground laws. You don't have to prove that your life was in danger to use a gun in self-defense. In these cases, self-defense even applies to protection of your own property AND constitutional rights. This means that in these states I can shoot a burglar. I don't even have to give a warningshot if I put up signs on my property with "No trespassing" written on them. In fact I can even legally shoot and kill A POLICE OFFICER in such states, if he tries to violate my constitutional rights by force. Which is actually a good thing, because it means that unlike the gun-hating, rights-hating countries that you love so much: the U.S actually acknowledge the fact that just because you have a badge and a gun, it doesn't make you incorruptible. So if you become dirty and start abusing your power as a police officer, the state will not save you if an armed citizen falling victim to your corrupt methods decide to shoot you during an unlawful arrest.

There was a shooting not long ago in my country, where a deranged priest had seduced a young nanny to kill his wife. It took the nanny less than 15 minutes to buy a revolver illegally (in a country with some of the strictest gun laws in the world I might add). And this wasn't some career criminal with plenty of connections with the underworld. This was a young, impressionable woman who had basically grown up as a devout christian and who didn't know ANYBODY in the criminal underworld. If a christian nanny from a small, hick town without any previous criminal connections can just hop on a bus and go to the capital city and get a gun illegally in a country with heavy gun control in less than 15 minutes, exactly how does gun control make it "harder" to get a gun?

There is no systemic oppression on racial grounds in North America or Europe today. Save for the institutionalized and systemic oppression against white people, and there's proof to back it up, since white people are the only group where it's become socially and institutionally acceptable for blaming and heaping scorn upon, as well as actively discriminate against in things like job postings. Non-white minorities literally have nothing to complain about.

You have to understand that their beef is with Zelensky and the Ukranian military. Neither Putin nor his troops relish the thought of killing a bunch of civilians or utterly destroying Ukranian towns and cities. The fact that they're prosecuting a war inside Ukraine, a country which most russians have familial ties to in some way is probably the most demoralizing factor of all. Even though the western MSM like to dismiss all Russians as evil conquerors, that's not really what's going on. So the Russians do follow certain rules of engagement right now, and have overall been very restrained. And the Ukranian infantry is exploting that to their advantage. It's not really that different from when Americans were in Iraq and had to refrain from firing upon Iraqi troops hiding in religious buildings, hospitals, schools and such because the Americans hands were tied by RoE. Only, Russians have real, personal ties to Ukraine, whereas American forces didn't give two shits about Iraq or the Iraqis in general.

If I ran Disney and was attacked by this criticism, I'd simply argue that the target audiences consist of children, meaning that they can subvert the anti-gay upbringing of children in anti-gay countries by exposing them to pro-lgbt messages in movies, games and tv-series.

  6355. Roomba Boi: I'm not upset. But maybe you are due to your concerns? I find that it's very difficult to live life with expectations of what one would "like" humanity to be rather than accepting humanity for what it is. There's good stuff and bad stuff. Overall it's usually good stuff though, since the species is geared towards survival deep down, and it's easier to survive and thrive through being pro-social and generally peaceful. Don't expect humans to be virtuous angels, because that will just leave you disappointed and bitter. But there's really no reason to expect humans to be evil either, because we're neither.

  6365.  @pepcozz8519 : Tell me, if we're "dying off" and there's "too few of us to do the necessary jobs"... Then how come there are WHITE unemployed people in both Europe and the U.S? If the notion that there's a "workforce shortage" in Europe and the U.S was true, then there shouldn't exist any involuntary unemployed white people in the west at all now should it? The only reason why these masses of immigrants are being imported is because the wealthy elite doesn't want to pay decent wages to white labourers. They want to create a desperate working class through mass immigration, where already struggling working class natives are forced to compete with migrants for the dwindling jobs. And that is the ONLY reason that mass immigration is being advocated. The idea that there's a "workforce shortage" in the west is the biggest piece of fake news in modern times.

But it most certainly can be very unreliable when desperate governments start printing money like crazy to fund war efforts and basically circumventing regular markets when they acquire their raw materials to manufacture weapons and vehicles (like with slave labour or appropriating captured resources from enemies etc.) Unless each and every part involved in a particular machine has been bought with currency through an open market, it's very hard to accurately describe it's actual cost. Then there's the wealth difference between countries to consider, and the amount of tanks or planes that they need to field for the task at hand. For instance, South Korea is usually credited as having the worlds most expensive tanks in service today (due to having the highest pricetag). But whether something is expensive or not is relative to whichever budget makes the purchase, what roles the tank is expected to fulfill and how many you intend to field etc. So in the context of South Korea, maybe their tank isn't as expensive as if it would've been if they tried to manufacture it in the U.S or China.

The problem is that women have colletively been spared and coddled by society for centuries. In the past it was by chivalrous men. In the present it's by the feminist establishment. Always women have been freed from responsibility for their own actions to some capacity while men have ALWAYS been held accountable regardless of circumstance. And this is why most women have terrible voting habits. When you've gone through life never being held accountable, it is only natural that your instinct for recognizing cause and effect to be muddled and dysfunctional.

  6399.  @Saltcrystalis  That's where you're wrong kiddo. To the victors goes the spoils. Usually in the form of new territory, but also captured military technology. Also nothing spurs technological and medical innovation as much as war does. Without war and the preparatiob for war: you would not have personal computers. Nor would you have the internet. Nor would we have several medical treatments for things like hypothermia and various diseases and parasites. Many of these technologies are derived from research that originally came from the defense industry. And it makes sense that war makes such innovators of people compared to peace time. The reason is that during peacetime, not being as innovative as your rivals only means you risk losing what... Market Shares? Whereas during a war, not being more innovative than your rivals means risking to lose your very life, your society and culture. The incentives to perform are far stronger during war than during peace. This is also proven through history where the more warlike regions of the world (like the European countries since ancient times) ended up developing their technology much faster than more primitive and less war-ridden tribal communities like in Africa and the Americas.

To experts who know about the cultural practices of some cultures who did extreme bodymodifications like cranial bindings in order to achieve this look, there is no mystery or extra terrestial origin to speak of. But the dishonest sensationalists never even bother to explain where pictures if these skulls come from or their origin, banking on the knowledge that the average viewer will be ignorant of the topic.

  6421.  @-smp-scientificmethodpersp838  That certainly sounds like agenda-pushing to me. I mean, we barely even have any evidence of early African written language, much less symbols of advanced mathematical equations. Anyhow my point is that just because you make "early finds" of a discovery or invention, it doesn't mean that subsequent findings of similar discoveries or inventions in other parts of the world must have been "exported" to them from the first culture. After all, the need to be able to count and put up equations is a pretty omni-present need across all human cultures in every part of their history. Even the most primitive and isolated tribes in the world today have some sort of system of mathematics to aid them in things like construction work, trade or keeping stock of resources. Necessity is the mother of all invention. And since everyone needed mathematics, it's reasonable to assume that it developed independently in many parts of the world. So if one wants to make the claim that Africa gave mathematics to the world, one can't just cite "early finds" like your professor did. You also have to prove that there was some relationship and cultural trade between these early african mathematicians and other cultures. And considering that Africa was dubbed as the "dark continent" and "wild and unexplored wilderness" even up to the late 1700's, it's pretty safe to assume that not much in the way of mathematical exports transpired between Africa and the rest of the world.

  6435. Jimmeh: Well, the "parasites" aren't parasites by choice. They are a long lasting creation and consequence of socialist policies, making full on privatization efforts near impossible. The way socialist politicians trap voters is by making as many of them dependant on government welfare in one shape or form as possible. Because they know that even if they lose mandate to capitalist/liberal parties for a short while, the backlash their privatization efforts will inevitably recieve pretty much guarantees that the socialist parties will be back in power soon enough. This because while capitalist parties are more than happy to outsource and privatize as much as possible, they rarely take the average incomes and salary levels into account when doing it. Average people with average incomes are relying on things like subsidized healthcare to be able to live. Most of them wouldn't be able to afford it if they had to pay for the full costs out of their own pockets. Capitalists wants "austerity" in public spending and try to take away things like subsidized healthcare, because subsidized healthcare has to be funded with high taxes. BUT, they aren't too keen on making sure that the wages for people of average incomes are raised sufficiently to make them be able to afford paying for privatized healthcare out of their own pocket. Without socialist influence for several decades, the market could potentially reach a state where average incomes are balanced against the average costs of things like healthcare and education (although looking back in hidtory at times when the bourgouise had a bit too much power, average workers were exploited like hell and recieved little in return for doing all the work, but i'm not a communist so I don't run around assuming that it HAS TO happen like that, even though I do take the risk of it happening into account). The problem is that socialism has already created too many citizens dependant on it's policies for their very survival. These people will have to suffer, and the really sick ones even risk dying as a result of too much privatization and austerity. Socialism isn't economically sustainable, but you're not really offering the "proles" a very appealing option either. And since humans, by nature, focus primarily on issues that are their most immediate concern, you're not likely to get an maintain a majority vote for capitalist policies that will leave the majority of people unemployed, homeless, sick, or having significantly reduced rights and conditions in their workplace. Or to put it in more simple terms: Liberals/capitalists usually argue in favor of appealing to the "rational self interest" of wealthy capital owners, and defend their actions when they're motivated by "rational self interest". The problem is that they never take the rational self interest of the vast majority of labourers into account.

  6436. Gibbons3457: Let me explain this in simple terms so anyone can understand: Debt = pretty much what it says. It's the national debt whereby the government has borrowed money from a bank for certain projects, and is now paying back what they owe the bank at a certain interest rate. Ideally the yearly national budget covers the interest rate AND pays off some of the debt as well in order to decrease the amount of money tjat the government owes over time. Normally though, the government is content with merely paying off the interest rate while not paying off the actual debt, because preventing the national debt from increasing is considered a win in itself. Deficit = The amount of money "missing" from a yearly budget to cover all the costs of both running society AND paying off the interest on the national debt. The money needed can be missing for various reasons: taxes are set too low, people evade paying taxes, people aren't working/consuming enough, businesses are leaving the country and set up shop elsewhere, government bumbled the budget from last year (investments didn't pay off as much as the government projected etc.) Austerity = making budget cuts to certain departments of society, with the intent of reducing the deficit, in order to afford paying off the interest on the national debt. People naturally hate austerity for obvious reasons. And people (like you) question why the government should prioritize paying off some "silly national debt" rather than spending that money on the people. Of course, we could do like socialist muppets do and go "mañana mañana" when it comes to the national debt and the interest rate. However, every year you don't pay off the interest rate, the national debt increases, and a rampant increase in national debt is dangerous for any society, because once your national debt reaches a level where the yearly interest rate exceeds your yearly Gross National Product (GDP, which is essentially the amount of money/profit/value that your society "produce" each period) your society is fucked. Because every bank in the world will know that in order for you to merely pay off the interest rate (not paying off the debt/loan itself) you're gonna have to dump all into merely paying interest. You won't afford to make any kind of investments, you won't be able to pay for the basic things to make your society function and so on. Which means no one will lend you any more money or make investments into your country, which in turn means that the value/purchasing power of your currency will plummet and it will all lead to a downward spiral of societal decay that no country can recover from on it's own without help from the outside. If you want examples of this, look at Greece and Spain. Both well on their way to financial collapse.
    1
  6437. Gibbons3457: sigh no Greece is a perfect example of illustrating what happens when your national debt and interest exceeds annual GNP, which is why I brought up Greece and Spain. I never said that I was out to explain the reasons why this happened in Greece and Spain, but the connection between deficit, interest and GNP. Although it is well known and established in circles of national economists that southern European states have a long standing tradition of spending more money than they can afford, and that's why they end up in situations like they do.

  6438. Gibbons3457: Also, the vulnerable and the poor will always be the first to suffer during finacial problems of any country. No route will ever safeguard any form of comfortable lifestyles for the poor and the vulnerable. It's quite literally a "damned if you do, damned if you don't"-dilemma. Do you think the poor and the vulnerable are much better off in Greece or Spain that was governed by incompetent spendthrifts in government, who took more loans than their countries could pay back as soon as they were given the chance? NO! The poor and the vulnerable are equally miserable, because austerity comes whether your government choose it or not. What the english could've done better however is not being spendthrifts on immigrants. Like you said yourself, austerity leads to jobs being cut in the public sector. Therefore it's fucking disastrous to import hundreds of thousands of unemployable "refugees" who will sponge off of social welfare almost their entire lives.

  6439. Yes, they get exploited. Also often working off the books and not paying taxes. Which means, the companies get cheap, unregulated and untaxed labour. While at the same time not being under any need of hiring legitimate labourers and also being able to avoid rules and regulations that the labour unions try to enforce. Every job an immigrant does is a job that an unemployed native could've done. Also, it's complete and utter bullshit that the immigrants are "refugees". More than 90 % of them are from North Africa and middle eastern countries not embroiled in war at all. They are economic migrants, nothing more. And considering the so called "refugees" that do come to Europe are mostly composed of young, able bodied men of military age: YES! They fucking damn well should return to their own countries and fight for them. But like the disgusting parasites they are, they leave the elderly, the women, the children and the infirm behind in order to go sponge off of Europe.

  6442.  @mariadavies7135  Nothing strange about it. The evil of socialism isn't really that a government has the power to shut down or break a subversive company up. The evil lies in it's lack of understanding of how the market works and how to generate prosperity. If a company like facebook is slapped with regulations or gets nationalized it's not really gonna damage the nations economy at all. What you need to understand is that just because someone is opposee to socialism, it doesn't mean they are believers in laisez faire capitalism either.

  6443.  @mariadavies7135  No, they're welcome to disagree. But "disagreeing" does not mean that you necessarily are allowed to takr action, ANY action that you feel like. Private businesses have to respect laws and regulations that goes according to the democratic principles. They don't have to like them. They don't have to disagree with them. They can even speak out against them. But if they want them changed, then they have to use their vote for the purpose. Not by taking action and shutting down constitutional rights of the citizenry just because they happen to be owners of the means or communication. And no I don't need to follow their terms and conditions because in 99 % if the cases, terms and condition documents actually contain illegal clauses. They are only legally recognized documents after having been tried in court. And the laws can change too. And yes, what I want would probably seem like a dicratorship to you. Because I am disillusioned, sick and tired of seeing multinational corporations usurping the power of governments and granting themselves more rights and freedoms at the cost of the general population. Business owners should be forced (at gunpoint if need be) to understand that they are PRIVILIGED to be allowed to operate in our countries.

  6444. From my understanding, some Mig's had crazy acceleration and top speed. Some pilots even refering to them as a rocket ship with wings. But they had trouble with agility due to going as fast as they did. From a physics perspective it would make sense (the faster you go the harder it gets to turn), but I can't say for sure if this was true for them since I've never been a jet pilot.

  6445.  @NameHere2243  The fact of the matter is: nobody got hurt. except the moron who wilfully put himself at risk and got blinded by diesel as a result. He hurt himself, John didn't hurt him. No harm to anyone was done. So stop bitching about "someone could've gotten hurt!" You can die from getting out of bed in the morning. Life is risk. Deal with it.

  6446.  @godknightomega  He didn't cause any financial harm to anyone else. The responsibility for the damages will befall the construction company since John was their employee. They will have to foot the bill for the property damage in the end.
    1
  6447.  @godknightomega  Then the hotel shouldn't have hired shady contractors who refuse to pay their workers due to a "glitch". The hotel should've put pressure on the construction company saying that unless they pay out those wages, the hotel will dump them and find someone else to complete construction. It's not like making renovations or buildings require specific companies after all. Fact of the matter is, the hotel profited off wages being denied to workers. Therefore, they share the blame. Or, as you yourself put it "Financial damage does financially impact others in a roundabout sense." If John's actions supposedly hurt the Hotels finances "indirectly". Then their actions hurt John's finances indirectly in exactly the same manner. The door swings both ways.

Hate to break it to you, but the rest of us don't want to bubblewrap the entire world just because sometimes idiots "get hurt" due to their own idiocy.

  6449.  @godknightomega  The hotel shouldn've vetted the constrution company better. In case you didn't know, the construction business is quite seedy and dishonest in general. From having people doing jobs they don't have permits or licence for, to using illegal labour (immigrants or people who don't pay taxes etc.) Everybody knows it. But businesses who hire construction firms still just go with "lowest price" above all else. This business got to taste the consequences of it.
    1
  6450.  @godknightomega  You can argue that the Hotel is a victim. But they're not a victim of John's actions. They are a victim of the construction companys shady business practices. And if they want to sue for damages, they shoule sue them rather than John. But only if the Hotel had no knowledge of the situation. If they did, but chose to do nothing about it. They are culpable as well.

  6453.  @godknightomega  I am not a court of law. Nor do I remember ever having been a supporter of the "innocent until proven guilty" bullshit. That usually happens when the scum of the earth are let off the hook in a daily basis, because courts worry more about some hollow "moral highground" and being autistic over technicalities, rather than the big picture and ensuring that dangerous people are put behind lock and key where they belong.

  6454.  @godknightomega  No, what i'm saying is, criminals should not be allowed to walk just because some desk clerk at the forensics office failed to sign a form properly, or because crucial evidence that clearly prove their guilt get thrown out of court because slimy defense lawyers deem the evidence to be "illegally obtained" (like a cop at a crime scene putting a murder weapon in the wrong kind of bag, or the cop found it without having a search warrant). In these instances, the criminal isn't "innocent". Yet they walk anyway, due to bureaucratic autism. What i'm also saying is that if my daughter or sister gets raped by some guy. I'm not gonna let some incompetent and ignoranr court of law decide the rapists guilt or not. I will torture and murder that rapist with my own two hands, and frankly I see nothing morally wrong about it whatsoever. None of these examples is the same thing as being "accused while innocent". So you can take that ridiculous hyperbole and shove it up your ass.

Oh yeah I feel "oh so bad" for their families... Wait, no I don't. Because neither of these three "men" are any loss to society. They lived as scumbags and died as scumbags.
    1
  6462.  @78skj  He WOULD have died had he not been armed. The fact that he was armed is what prevented Kyle's death. These are the objective, undeniable facts ans why people have a right to be armed and to defend themselves from violent agressors.
    1
  6463.  @78skj  But Kyle didn't shoot them becaue he deemed them immoral. He shot them because they were in the process of physically assaulting and murdering him. There is a difference between them. I'm just happy that he killed scumbags. Would've been a shame if he had been forced to shoot someone who was an actually beneficial person to society with no criminal background. But even if that would've been the case, I would still support Kyle for shooting them. Your previous good deeds are irrelevant to the equation. If you start attacking people the way Rosenbaum, Huber and Grosskreutz did, then I will always support the use of LETHAL self defense. These three men would not have been dead today if they had simply behaved themselves and chose not to break the law (yes, surprisingly there are LAWS against physical assault). So what i'm wondering is why you're not here lamenting the fact that lefties are so violent and break laws at the drop of a hat? 🤔 Seems to be a much better way of not getting killed compared to going out at night to start physical altercations and setting fire to stuff.
    1
  6464.  @78skj  How am I mistaken? All I've seen is you complaining about Kyle. Seen zero posts where you lament the violent tactics of the left. Like I said: all three of these men (despite being scumbags) would be alive and unharmed today, had they chosen not to break the law. Kyle wasn't out here shooting people for being lefties. He was shooting people who illegally attacked him and he ONLY shot those people, even when a giant angry mob of lefties were screaming and chanting for Kyle's death, he only fired at those who tried to actually kill him. They had every opportunity to walk away or avoid Kyle, but they prefered acting like monsters. When is the left gonna have a serious conversation internally about it's own violent behaviour? When is the argument that "violent revolution" might not be such a good idea be had?
    1
  6465.  @78skj  "Common sense" doesn't really exist. It's an arbitrary and subjective definition. And if you're gonna say Kyle didn't have common sense... Where was the "common sense" when Rosenbaum decided to charge Kyle to begin with? Where is the common sense in trying to fight and take a gun from an armed person when you don't even have a gun yourself? Seem very suicidal to me.

  6467.  @78skj  Some perspective: A rapist argues that a woman walking alone at night, minding her own business while wearing a short skirt is being "provocative" and asking to get sexually assaulted. Leftwingers argue that a lonesome guy carrying a gun at night, minding his own business is being "provocative" and asking to get attacked. Why is it that in the womans case, you's never ever think to blame the woman for being reckless and "not having common sense", but in the armed man's case, suddenly the blame lies on him? I can only deduce one or two things from it. Either you're being sexist in the sense that you believe that women are automatically victims, but men are automatically perpetrators. Or you're being tribalistic, whereby you only blame Kyle because he doesn't share your left wing beliefs, while his asssilants do and therefore you place your criticism on Kyle rather than where it belongs.
    1
  6468.  @78skj  What difference does it make? I don't feel threatened around people with guns. Why do you? If the rape victim is not responsible for the feelings of the rapist, then Kyle is not responsible for the feelings of triggered lefties either. So we can conclude here that you are engaging in victim blaming. We have a court verdict proving Kyle was innocent of any crimes and that the people who attacked him were definitely criminals. Yet you blame Kyle, the victim for what happened. Just like someone blaming a rape victim for the actions of a rapist.

By the same reasoning, one could easily argue that realistic depictions of violence in video games is "normalizing" violent behaviour in real life. Now I'm a decades long virtual murderer, having killed countless of human representations in video games. But I still don't find violence IRL to be "normal behaviour" or a normal activity. Wouldn't want to be friends with someone who watches digital or cartoon CP though. It's too creepy and disgusting, compared to violence imo.

  6482.  @jasminejacob1870  Yes. But I don't see much reason to assume that Norse society was "fine" with homosexuality in general. If that was the case there would be more records about homosexual couples and it being described as a normal, everyday occurence. Either from the Norse or from people who interacted with the Norse. But we do not. The only romantic relationships described are married couples and heterosexual exploits. No gays mentioned anywhere. So it would be an unfounded assumption to say that the Norse were completely fine with homosexuality.

  6484.  @MUSICLOVER23429  Dude, they are up against a big brained A.I that doesn't even concern itself with a single timeline. Due to all of the sequels, it's becoming rather evident that Skynet is not above messing around with alternate universes to ensure it's own existence. Mere mortals will never be able to cope with that, no matter how much they think they know about time travel. It's also rather telling that the humans were never able to invent time travel for themselves. They basically needed Skynet to make it a reality.
    1
  6485.  @MUSICLOVER23429  I have to disagree. The fact that John Connor was concieved through intercourse involving a man that he himself had to send back in time to make his own birth possible suggests that timelines aren't fixed.
    1
  6486.  @MUSICLOVER23429  Listen to what you're saying "Kyle ALWAYS goes back in time". Semantically and logically this doesn't make any sense if you also exclude alternate timelines.
    1
  6487.  @MUSICLOVER23429  But for that to be possible, John Connor must at one point have been concieved without Kyle Reese in the picture. Because John Connor was born prior to the existence of Skynet. So "originally" John Connor must've had a different father. But that doesn't make sense because it means that at least two different John Connors would've existed during alternate timelines (the "original" before Skynet and before Kyle Reese got sent back in time, and the alternat John Connor which has Kyle Reese as his father) So your entire theory basically hinges on that two different fathers with two different sets of DNA would end up concieving the same man. DNA doesn't work that way.

  6491.  @NemisCassander  I'm not saying that Saruman would be "good" or be able to turn Sauron to being "good". What i'm saying is that since Sauron himself influenced and manipulated Morgoth back in the day, Saruman could've very well been able to do the same to Sauron, even if Sarumans intentions with doing so weren't really that good.
    1
  6492.  @NemisCassander  The way I read Saruman was more like that he thought he'd be able to ingratiate himself with Sauron as an ally at first, and then eventually stab Sauron in the back at the right moment to claim all of Sauron's realms as his own. His attempt to persuade Gandalf was mostly just a ruse in the hope to use Gandalf as a pawn for Saruman's own ambitions. I kind of interpreted it that the Palantir had corrupted Saruman's mind to become like this, in a similar vein to how The One Ring corrupted people's hearts if they held on to the ring for too long. Saruman was probably aware that Sauron and others who had Palantirs were watching Sarumans uses of the Palantir, but what Saruman didn't anticipate was how much of a corrupting force it is to have an "all seeing eye" like a Palantir. Being able to watch all past, present and future at a whim would change you as a person and alter how you see things and think about things. Which is why Sarumans "logical course of action" appears to be madness to Gandalf.

No. They banded together, and if push come to shove, they picked up guns or even mere sticks and cracked skulls to restore order. Your time is now. Your war is now. Are you going to sideline yourself into obscurity or are you going to do something about the situation? Your father or grandfather belonged to a generation that fought in one of the bloodiest wars in mankinds history for their freedom and place in the world. Did you really think that was the final battle?

  6506.  Lone Wolf  You're right. They shouldn't have stopped with germany. But all parties were weak. Hard to determine if the allies still had the logistics and manpower to drive back the soviets. But hindsight is always 20/20. Regardless, i'm like you. I'll fight when the time comes. If I go out now, I'll just be branded a terrorist and be locked up when the real fighting starts. However, we need to have organisation in place BEFORE the fighting starts. We need to know who is dependable and where they are. The mustering process is one of the most difficult ones. Especially when everyone willing thinks they're all alone. If I had just 10 or 20 men, with no previous affiliations to eachother we'd run circles along both the authorities and the regressive left. Because both of them track people down through affiliations first and foremost.

  6507.  Lone Wolf : I'm familiar with is quote. But Patton was a fighting man. I don't think he was privy to the intricacies of logistics. He was, as Heinlein would've dubbed him: a supplier of violence. As any real military man. But there's also an important lesson to take from war: logistics is key to every victory. If your fighting men don't have the necessary transport, arms and supplies. They can't achieve their objective. That's why the nazis lost during their push for Stalingrad.

  6530. ​ @forest2727 No one said you shouldn't hold the men who do this accountable. But here's the thing: these men will always exist, no matter how many of them you hold accountable. With this knowledge in mind, the only alternative to avoid being subjected to this is taking steps to avoid the situation yourself. So what is more important for you at the end of the day? That you can avoid being victimized, or that the perpetrator is held accountable? Most people will prefer to not get victimized over arguing about who's accountable.

  6531. ​ @alexb7092 It's not women's fault. But to pretend that women have zero influence over the situation is asinine. Whenever you walk out in public, you risk being subjected to crime or unwanted situations. Unavoidable fact of life. But there are steps the individual can take to minimize risk, and no woman is helped by being told that she has zero means to take any of these steps by feminist activists.

  6536.  @forest2727  No, but here is the thing: when we tell women to avoid dangerous situations, we don't say that to women who have already been victimized or that it"s their fault for not following our advice. We tell women who haven't yet been victimized so they can hopefully be spared from such incidents in the future. But radical feminists have completely warped the intent behind this advice just so they have another excuse to blame all men for everything. Every self respecting man relish the opportunity to personally punish people who commit sexual assault or harassment, including myself. But we can't be everywhere to stop rapists and creeps all the time, so women must do their part in looking out for themselves too FOR THEIR OWN SAKE, instead of just walking through life being completely passive.

  6538.  @forest2727  No man really believes that a man can't control his sexual desires. Every man on planet earth can. The only men who make this claim are rapists. This is the objective truth. Every man on earth is in full control of his actions regardless of how sexually aroused he is. Your clothing is completely irrelevant to the equation. The unfortunate truth is that men exist who willfully and actively commit sexual assaults and you can never tell at first glance if they will or not. So don't let anyone make you believe that we lose control over the way you're dressed. We're always in control. The underlying issue is that some people are scum and will always be scum. Furthermore, the only way to change perceptions is to talk about the issue and correct the incorrect perceptions. If that means I may have to come across as "insensitive" to victims who didn't use amore pro-active approach in protecting themselves, then i'm sorry, I have to be insensitive then. It's either being insensitive or letting the cycle with the same dangerous behaviour continue forever.

  6554.  @peka__  No i'm not using it interchangeably with anarchism. That's your confusion, not mine. I'm not saying that capitalism is completely devoid of law or limits What i'm saying is that SOME laws and limits are inherently anti-capitalist by nature. Like copyright laws. Other laws are more in line with capitalist principles and values. Get it?
    1
  6555.  @peka__  Intellectual property isn't property since it contains no physical properties. If you can't weigh and measure it physically, then it has no business being regarded as property. It also can't be "stolen". Since theft requires PHYSICAL removal of physical objects. Like I said: if you want to guard trade secrets then that's your responsibility alone. You can use encryptions or refuse to share the secrets with anyone if you want them to be exclusive and also keeping the profits from them exclusive. I see no reason why the rest of us taxpayers should sacrifice our taxmoney to safeguard you from compulsive blabbering about your trade secrets. As capitalist consumers all we care about are cheap consumer goods. Not your "dreams" as an inventor.
    1
  6556.  @peka__  And I argue that enforcing copyright laws are totalitarian and an overreach. Let's put it this way: there are several inventions throughout history that have been developed in completely separate parts of the world with no interaction between either inventor. So when it is discovered that they both came up with the same design, who should get who prosecuted? The inventor that first made it to the patent office with his invention, even though inventor number 2 most likely worked just as hard and spent as much creativity as inventor number 1 did. Being the first to file a patent is an extremely arbitrary decider for who should get exclusive rights to produce something. Then there's the fact that this whole "intellectual property" nonsense has even been allowed to extend to our biology itself. For example, did you know that the genes in your own body do not legally belong to you to do with as you see fit anymore? Biomedical companies have somehow legalesed their way into exclusive rights to use therapy and manipulation of certain genes in the human body. That means my genes and YOUR genes as well. Copyright has unironically been allowed to enslave every human on earth in this manner, in the sense that parts of our own bodies are no longer our own sovreign property anymore. And with this in mind it's extremely easy to see that copyright has got to go. It fulfills no beneficial purpose whatsoever for the market or our society.

  6561. Masculinity is using your biological gifts of superior strength to better your lot in life, but for the purpose of improving and protecting the lives of others, using your own family as the starting point. If your success only allows for your own improvement, then you pursue that. If your success allow you to get a family and improve their lot in life, then you pursue that. If your success allows you to improve the lot of your employees in your company, the citizens of your country, the subjects in your kingdom or even empire, then you will pursue it. Whenever a man achieves power that would afford him to help others, but he spends it solely on himself and indulging in luxuries, then he stops being masculine.

  6563.  @AleksandrKramarenko : The pyramid shape does not require a square bottom. It can be elongated. Also, the height isn't necessarily an issue because you could influence the vehicles height with a new or different kind of suspension for the tracks. No existing tank is completely optimized. There's always room for improvement. Also regarding your comment about tanks rarely getting hit from the sides. That's got more to do with doctrine and formations. Tanks operate in a formation intended to prevent being hit from these angles. The problems is that the formations are also troublesome and not as flexible as they could've been if the tanks had equally strong defenses on all sides of the tanks. This could potentially create new and even more flexible doctrines, increasing the effectiveness of the tanks.

  6564.  @AleksandrKramarenko : No, they are not at their limits. Like I said, no existing tank is optimized. Plenty of concessions has been made with aspects like ease of production and costs in mind. The tanks you are referring to are not in any way at their "peak". They're merely "good enough".

In reality, the seeds of the rise of Nationalsocialism in Germany were planted during WWI, and it's downright irresponsible to not mention it during any history class... Or the omission of such a mention is ideologically motivated.

It's that simple. Sovreign states are not just "handed out" to any ragtag group that demands one. Sovreign states have to be formed through violence and blood. Land has to be CONQUERED and then HELD by force of arms in order for a group to gain sovreignty. If the kurds cannot pull this off, then they deserve no country of their own.

  6574. "one man terrorist is another's freedom fighter" That's not really true though. What separates a terrorist from a freedom fighter/soldier is that the freedom fighter or soldier attacks military targets of the opposing force (like enemy troops or executive politicians who have authority over the enemy troops). A terrorist on the other hand purposefully attack and prey upon civilian targets with the intention of creating public fear and trying to get the civilian population to subvert the authorities and the military and get them to back down. Therefore the freedom fighter use just means in his or her struggle, but the terrorist use unjust means and this in turn morally invalidates the terrorists goals as well. A terrorist believes that the ends always justify the means. A freedom fighter does not.

  6575. But back during the civil war, there wasn't really much distinction between soldiers and terrorists to begin with. And regarding WWII, the bombings of cities wasn't really done by either side with the intention of killing civilians but because cities, aside from serving as population centers also tend to have countries primary industry facilities and infrastructured centered in and around those cities. It's not a terrorist act to destroy key infrastructure with the goal of breaking the economy and production capabilities of an enemy state, since the enemy is gearing their production towards the war effort. But civilians do usually work in these industrial facilities and usually live near them, which is the cause of loss of civilian life. There is a difference between accepting possible civilian losses in an attack against a military target, and PURPOSEFULLY attacking civilians with the intention of killing as many civilians as possible and in the most gruesome manner possible in order to scare and terrorize the population.

I've been at this job for 5 years but still feel like a greenhorn. I have a greater bag of tricks than when I started, but some of the senior techs have worked this job for 30-40 years. I try to work with them and learn as much from them as I can. It's gonna be hell when they all retire. Sadly management doesn't seem to think about the importance of passing on skills and experience. If I were in their shoes I'd make sure there's dedicated time for junior techs to work with and learn from senior techs. They said I was going to be driving around with a senior tech for 3 months when I started the job. But after a mere 2 weeks they just said "there's just too much stuff to do now, so you need to start working by yourself", tossed me a set of carkeys to a company car and sent me on my way. Pretty crazy when I look back on how I had to hit the ground running.

In my view, these conventions are the most distinct changes in naval warfare up until modern times.

  6614. ​ @xtincttv When you say appropriation, do you mean that you object to so called "cultural appropriation"? If so, then we might disagree a bit, because I see cultural appropriation as a non-issue. In my view, culture does not belong to anyone but to everyone. Your culture and my culture represents contributions from our respective people's to the collected history of the world, and they should be for everyone to experience and enjoy. That said, in terms of representation, what I care about the most is to have accurate depictions of characters from history and legend. A black historical figure should be played by a black actor, just as a white historical figure should be played by a white actor. The only exceptions I can think of would be where they've done an extraordinary good job in the make-up and costume department, which is rare but not unheard of. An example that springs to mind would be the film Lawrence of Arabia, where the british actor Alex Guinness portrayed King Faisal. He did such a good job of it that not only did the film become a smash hit in Egypt and the arab world, but when he was in his costume and make-up, local arabs actually mistook him for the real King Faisal. So I wouldn't want that kind of movie magic to be discarded. But in general, casting directors should strive to get actors who can portray historical figures as accurately as possible in order to enhance the immersion for the viewer.

  6615.  @xtincttv  I didn't specifically mean things like identity though. But rather the indulgence and adoption of culture. Take america for example. Some african americans get offended if they see a white person sport hairstyles like cornrows or dreadlocks, because they think that these hairstyles "belong" to them as an ethnic group. It is historically incorrect of course, since there are examples of white ethnic groups depicted with similar hairstyles long before these groups ever had contact with africans, but that's beside the point. If an "outsider" takes a fancy to something that originates from your own culture, then that's not something to be abhorred but cherished. It's a great compliment. It means the outsider is taking a liking to something your people may have created or invented at some point. It's like, i'm ethnically Scandinavian. And if I were to see you pick up a necklace with a Mjolnir pendant and wear it because you happen to find the history behind it interesting or just plain like the design, why on earth would I object to that? It's just plain nice to see someone from another part of the world exhibiting enjoyment of a piece of the culture of my ancestors, since as humans we're rather prone to in-group preference in a lot of things normally. So that's what i'm refering to when I say that I object to the idea of "cultural appropriation". Because it's much more pleasant when people share cultural aspects and take influence from one another.

  6617. sourC0W: the elderly will earn more per hour, but being elderly they will not work as MANY hours as younger employees, which means that companies will need to hire more elderly employees to do the IT, accounting and secretary work. So in the end, the wage total will become more equal over time. The point is to stop an untenable situation where elderly people are forced into doing hard manual labour which they don't have the constitution for, and get young people off their asses from office jobs (which is not healthy for their bodies anyway) and get the appropriate age categories assigned to appropriate jobs that fits their physical capabilities better. Also regarding the concept of "unfair". Fairness is an entirely subjective concept. Your suggestion of tokenism and quotas have already been tried and it doesn't work in practice. All it does is amplify stereotypes and bigotry in the work place since law mandated quotas of representation means that everyone assumes by default that a woman, black guy or muslims at the workplace only got their jobs because of state quotas and not because of ability. Age limits are much less discriminatory in that regard since all humans grow older, regardless of race, ethnicity or gender. And like I've already pointed out: we have age limits for plenty of positions and priviliges in society already (legal drinking age, legal driving age, legal working age, legal age to own firearms, even a legal age to have sex) and the public backlash has never been particularly significant. Instead most of society agrees that age limits to things are completely reasonable and logical. Therefore convincing the population of age limits for certain kinds of jobs won't be a problem. Also, in older societies, age limits were the standard practice. You could never reach "master" or "grandmaster" titles within a trade guild before a certain age, no matter how much of a child prodigy you might've been at your craft. It was also standard practice within most trade guilds that the physically harder tasks for any project was assigned to the younger novices, apprentices and journeymen while the more intellectually demanding and planning stages was done by the adepts, masters and grand masters of the guild.

  6620.  @xxxbrunaa : No it's not. Imperialism is about creating loyal vassal states. Capitalism is about trade. When you conquer or sieze control of a foreign country, you can't really trade with them anymore in a sense that's financially beneficial to you, since the vassal state is under your control, and so will inevitably the costs of keeping it running. Stop using the word "imperialism" so frivolously when you don't know the meaning of it.

The German ad is controversial because there is surely a stereotype in which the Japanese are considered perverted and also Japanese women are considered to be crazy about white men" The way you phrase this, it gives the impression that you assume that the german company responsible for the ad are trying to create a stereotype, rather than remarking upon that a stereotype might just exist in general. But if english is not your primary language, then I can give you the benefit of a doubt. Also, the western world is plagued by a lot of political outrage activists from the political left and "grievance culture" right now, where they attack and accuse everything of being either racist, sexist, misogynist and stereotyping of minorities. So the subject of stereotyping is kind of sensitive nowadays.

  6625.  @mchlle94  I'm not too sure about that. I base this on knowledge of medieval paintings and illuminated manuscripts. Artists of this time period make a lot of mistakes when painting different subjects. Mistakes that can't easily be chalked up to lack of skill. For example, I recall seeing a painting once that depicted a big shark. Problem was that the big fish didn't look like a shark at all. It had the same type of gills that you'd normally associate with something like a Bass or Pike (two, very deep set gills at the back of the head) instead of having the rows of four slit gills like actual sharks do. So analyzing the picture it makes you think that this artist drew what he believed a shark to look like based partly on incomplete testimony from someone who's actually seen one and partly from the artists own familiarity with what sweet water fish looks like. So suffice to say that there can be a lot of misunderstandings and incorrect interpretations when people only had oral testimony to go on.

  6626.  @vendomnu  I don't find it reasonable to dismiss some of the greatest scientific achievements in human history as "a pissing contest". The cold war would've been a much nicer period if the superpowers opted to compete in scientific projects as opposes to proxy warfare and setting up nuclear strike plans. But yes, if you want to criticize the USSR, then it'a handling of food productions and famines would be more valid. But don't run around making strawmen based on the idea that just because a charlatan like Lysenko managed to claw his way to power and influence then it must mean that the USSR was anti-scientific. What you need to understand is that most testimony from the soviet union came solely from defectors. It's like basing your entire view of a complex society on the paranoid ramblings of Ayn Rand, or your entire view of America based on what some CCP party official portrays it as.

  6627.  @andreivaughn1468  Yes. And that's why I don't think anyone is doing classical liberal ideals any kind of service by spreading falsehoods or caricature depictions about the USSR. If you want to be credible in your analysis, then it's important to know what you're talking about. You give shit where shit is due, and credit where credit is due. Otherwise you'll just become the same kind or uninformed hypocrite like a typical western left wing extremist. There's several millions of ex-soviet citizens, still living in Russia today who don't have nearly as bad of an impression about the USSR as the many "defectors" spread around in the west Although Russians in general seems to have grown up from communism since and can recognize why the economic model is unsustainable in the long term.

  6628.  @vendomnu  But if truth becomes the victim of party politics then how did the soviet scientists pull off what they did? Your issue here is that you're conflating ideology with "truth". Yes, the USSR persecuted dissenters. No if's or but's about it. But claiming that all soviet dissenters were "just being truthful" just displays a curious ignorance about the subject. The OP's argument would've made more sense if applied to Maoist China rather than the Soviet Union, since the Chinese were far more dogmatic about the ideology than the Russians ever were.

  6637. Your first argument is inherently false though. Probably due to a lack of understanding the field of machine learning. Developing AI is not about putting in every kind of instruction a human can think of and have the computer play it out. It's about inputting different kinds of actions which the machine CAN take, but then letting it run on it's own and make choices about what actions to take on it's own. Like if you teach a robot three different actions. Walking forwards, walking backwards or walking to the side. But the machine itself makes the choice of whether to walk forwards, backwards or to the side, then you can't argue that it's a human that have "controlled" the machine's behaviour anymore. And it becomes especially interesting when the machines start developing their own range of actions which no human designed (like that case where two different AI's talking to eachother developed their own language which only they understood after doing trial and error in regular, human language)

  6639.  @josephmoya5098  Nature and evolution programs us though. It's not as much of a "purposeful" process, but one based purely on trial and error along with enviroment. Throwing spaghetti on the wall to see which ones stick. So it's not quite as efficient as digital programming. But principally it's quite similar. That's why i'm more inclined to conclude that it's a matter of complexity. Wether it's a neuron or a transistor doesn't matter. When the number of transistors/logic gates equal or outnumber the neurons in a human brain, it's going to become really difficult to separate the machine from the human in terms of behaviour.

As far as blaming entire demographics go, it's not a pretty way of doing it. At the same time, the issue of immigrant violence in Scandinavia must be adressed, along with the pervasive culture of enforcing Scandinavians to adapt and cater to immigrant cultures, because Scandinavian countries first and foremost belong to Scandinavians who inherited them from their ancestors, and they deserve to exist unmolested by immigrant violence. Immigrants moving to these countries need to be told immediately that it is their duty to adapt to the culture and customs or Sweden, Denmark and Norway and not the other way around.

  6664.  @Yakub9000  And as I told Sigma, barring the case of public executions in the arena, the aim was not to kill. Fatalities were an exception and not a norm.

So if you think that historical gladiatoral combat was the same as in Spartacus: Blood and Sand, then you'd be mistaken. Gladiators weren't cheap to house, feed and train after all. So the Ludii wouldn't be able to afford offering up Gladiators to their death for every single match.

  6666.  @Yakub9000  Well my position is basically this: some individuals are naturally drawn to danger, and humanity in general does have deep seated urges towards the spectacle of violence. We are a violent species. And I don't believe that we'll ever shed that instinct, regardless of how much philosophy or indoctrination we get subjected too. And I think that in some instances it's probably more dangerous to try and shoehorn some naturally violent people into fitting into mainstream society than it would be to let them express their deep seated and inescapable urges in a more purposeful and controlled enviroment. Some people will simply be natural born killers and brawlers. This because it was biologically beneficent to have such traits earlier in mankinds history. To fend off predators or rival human tribes. Civilized society doesn't offer these people the means to turn their aggression towards meaningful and constructive ends, so they often end up very downtrodden on the lowest ends of the social ladder, and I don't think that is fair or the best way to deal with them. So perhaps in an arena, they could find the purpose and meaning they feel deprived of, to the point where they spend their days engaging in petty and violent crime for the sake of the "rush" they get from it. If you want to find out more about this mentality then I'd suggest you look into the topic of football hooliganism. They are REALLY into fighting. The sport of soccer/football is really just secondary to the brawling they engage in with eachother on the streets. So instead of relegating them to the streets where they put the lives of involuntary bystanders at risk, why not let them have an arena?

  6686. ​ @seroquelchamber Well, if it makes you feel better: I've never paid for sex, nor have I ever wanted to. You might think i'm lying, but if I tell you why then you might see that my reasons make sense and perhaps feel more convinced that i'm not lying. Basically: sex for me, as a man is around 50 percent physical stimulation/pleasure and 50 percent psychological pleasure. The latter being derived from the fact that a woman having sex with me does so because she WANTS to. I'm being desired for the man I am, or at the very least she find my appearance physically attractive to the point where she want to sleep with me. If I went to see a prostitute, then at the back of my head I'd constantly think that she's not doing this with me because she likes me, she only does it so she can get my money and never think about me again. Doesn't matter what she says or how she behaves. The nature of the transaction makes it so that I can't let this thought go, and it will ruin the whole experience for me. So, that's why I don't buy sexual services and have never really wanted to. I doubt i'm the only man in the world who feels like this.

Renewable energy sources have a certain strategic value, yes. Because it's bad for ones military strategy to be dependant on fuel derived from resources mostly found in other countries. The problem is: electricity is not as versatile as an energy source as petroleum based fuels are. Electricity might work fine when you need to go a limited distance with your tesla and have it parked for several hours to recharge. But if you have to pull a heavy load with a truck, or shift dirt with a bulldozer or (if we move over to military strategy): drive a tank or fly a jet fighter, then suddenly electricity is utterly useless as an energy source. As long as the U.S means of defense is powered by petroleum based products, the U.S is forced to ensure stable pipelines of crude oil into it's own country. To let crude oil producing trading partners succumb to civil wars ane insurrections means compromising the U.S military as a whole, and that can never be allowed to happen under any circumstance considering how many enemies the U.S has in the world. If they can manage to develop electrically powered jet fighters or tanks however, with an operating range that rivals that of petroleum powered variants, then it might be a different story. But until such innovations have been invented (and that's a big "if" because it's not even sure that you can build something like it), crude oil has to stay.

  6721.  @AfronautWasTaken  At the end of the day, this is a nature vs nurture discussion. An age old question, yet to be answered by any branch of science. And you'll find no scientist who can credibly claim that one or the other is the ultimate determining factor of the development of a human. If you claim that "science" has some sort of consensus that "nurture" is the sole determining factor, then you're just being a liar. All the data is correlation only, since nobody really understands the mechanisms behind this development. I currently adopt a more charitable perspective than you. Because if nature shapes the different races of human, then whatever deficiencies they exhibit, is not their own responsibility, since they can't exert control over their biology. None of us can. You however, adopt a perspective where nurture is the only determining factor. And by so doing, you imply that other people aren't biologically disadvantaged but MORALLY inferior. You might as well call yourself Trump and refer to these countries as "shithole countries" really.

The ruling power were inspired by these academics, not the other way around. The idea of racial categorization dates as far back as to Carl von Linnaeus and his Systema Naturæ where he endavoured to categorize the species of all plants and animals on earth. Which included humans. Modern scientists still use his methods to determine species and sub-species of plants and animals today.

  6735. Another good way to absorb history is going through channels that delve into the practicalities of history. You have the informally dubbed "community of the sword" for example. A group of loosely affiliated content creators like The Metatron, Jason Kingsley, The Shadiversity, Skallagrim Tod's Workshop and a bunch of others who test, review and take in depth looks at historical weapons and armour. It's a good way to bring history out of the realm of just being about years, dates and names of rulers. Townsends is also a great channel looking into various facets of life in the late 1700's and most of the 1800's that deals a lot with cooking, building things, clothing, smithing, survivalism and so on.

  6736.  @davethebrahman9870  Yes exactly. It's not like you could just up and become an apprentice with a craftsman of whatever happens to interest you that month on a whim in the past. But with the internet in your pocket you can start learning and picking up new skills at the click of a button. I have countless examples of this that doesn't just involve cooking. For example, i'm not an auto mechanic. But when the breaks and coil springs on my car failed inspection and needed to be replaced. I didn't go to an auto shop to get scammed out of a huge amount of money. I ordered the parts that needed to be replaced online and got to work by myself, using tutorials on youtube for how to do the replacement. Saved me a lot of money and also felt good to fix something with my own two hands instead of just "paying some guy" to do it for me. And from the lessons learned doing this, i now feel comfortable replacing other parts too, without any tutorials. DIY can really flourish if you use the internet the right way.

After some research into the matter they discovered that it's physically impossible to draw your weapon, aim and fire at an assailant armed with a knife if the assailant starts out within 10 feet of you. Now, think about all those situations in life when you're 10 feet within complete strangers. Like the street, riding the subway, concert audiences, nightclubs, political rallies and so on. Knife users have ample opportunity to attack their victims practically at a whim. And not even open carry or concealed carry will be able to protect them. It'w great to have a gun on your person. But one must keep in mind that it will only save you against hostile targets at least 10 feet away from you.

  6801.  @PersonalizedModifications  Yeah, and on the point of fully automatic fire... A high rate of fire is almost always a detriment to a shooter with a gun. You want even full auto to be relatively slow in order to line up your sights in between shots better. The only time a high rate of f fire is preferable is basically when you're trying to take out flying targets (like with AA-guns or CIWS aboard navy vessels trying to take out incoming missiles) but we're well beyond the scope of armament pertaining to this topic by then.

  6820.  @signe_stilett  If NATO wills it, all three will become nuclear missile platforms against Russia. That's the way NATO have always worked: smaller, far flung memberstates serve as de facto beach heads and invasion insertion points for the U.S military. And as you may have noticed, Kreml does not want Nato in these countries either, according to Russias letter of demands. So if you're trying to argue that Russia is "Fine" with them as Nato members, think again. Ukraine flirting with Nato is the straw that broke the camels back because the aggressive and hostile NATO alliance has continually pushed further and further into the east since the dissolution of the USSR, so Russians are right to treat it as a threat to their sovreignty. America never settlew for peaceful co-existence with any country that can serve as their rival after all. They only seek to dominate and control everything, hence the Nato push eastward.

Because Ukranians have done a long running anti-russian propaganda campaign, so Ukrainians view ethnic russians about as favorable as China views India.

  6823.  @mrlegkick91  Ask yourself, what's really in Ukraine that Putin supposedly wants that he can't get cheaper and easier at home? Russia is by area the biggest country in the world, covering a wide variety of topographical features and natural resorces. Everything is there for the taking already. So what could be the reason that Russia threatens Ukraine if we can dismiss any sort of need of natural resources or territory? More territory would also be more of a burden for Russia. Annex all of Ukraine and you've suddebly expanded Russias borders by several hundreds of miles. More border = more need for border patrol = more money needs to be diverted to the military. And military spending is always a net cost for any country and not something it can count on reaping profits from. Considering that Russias economy is not very great at all due to still recovering from communist fiscal policies AND they're slapped with all manner of spiteful trade sanctions. So why would Putin or Kreml desire to ADD to their yearly state costs even further? With all this in mind (and you can go check the facts of what I say for yourself, don't take my word for everything), you've got to ask yourself, what would be a rational or logical reason for Russia to be so concerned with Ukraines desire to join NATO?
    1
  6824.  @viysnjor4811  Irrelevant since countries change ambitions and goals depending on which regime is running them. You should try and answer my question too: what exactly is in Ukraine that Putin can't get cheaper and more easily at home?

Doesn't mean that Russians want to take over all of Ukraine since there is no need to. Unless Nato and Ukraine are being idiotic and starts to make it an issue. The separatist regions are gone and that's just a pill that Ukraine has to swallow.

  6826.  @viysnjor4811  The confederate states didn't have the support of a superpower. The separatists in Ukraine have the support of Russia. Ukraine also has a very weak military to begin with, so even without Russian support, the separatists on their own are enough problems for Ukraine to deal with. And yeah, Putin want a buffer zone around Russias borders, and who can blame him? Considering Nato's steady march towards the east and their general hostility towarda Russia that has been going on ever since the Cold war.
    1
  6827.  @viysnjor4811  Ah so you admit it then that NATO has exhibited previous hostility towards Russia? What do you expect Russia to do? Just take more and more aggression from NATO without any response in turn? I guess your idea of "ethics" is for Russia to just sit idle and watch as NATO ships over nukes to Ukraine and start pointing them straight at Moscow and S:t Petersburg. God forbid that Russia were to "intervene", because that wouldn't be "respectful of Ukraines sovreignty, ehrmagerd!"

You can't fight a war for long in Ukraines position where you basically produce nothing in terms of weapons and rely on freebies from other countries. It goes without saying.

  6845.  @jesupcolt  Look at North Korea today. The population has been starving for decades now. But that doesn't stop the North Korean military and leadership from engaging in hostile actions against it's southern neighbour or from making nuclear missiles and doing test launches. A hungry and oppressed population is not as much of a problem for country leaders or the military as you think it is. Stalin was not that different from Kim Jong Un in mindset after all. If food was running short, he'd have confiscated anything to eat from the civilians and redistributed it to the troops, leaving millions to starve to death so he can keep the war effort going. In fact, he kinda did this already, although thankfully with not as many casualties thanks to food shipments from the allies. A lot of soviets starved to death anyway. And Stalin wouldn't have baulked at letting even more starve to death, if the allies hadn't sent any foodstuffs. So, like I said, the Soviets would've beaten the Germans eventually. Because the german invasion force was far too undermanned and underequipped to ever hope to succeed. Russia itself is too massive for a mere 4 million troops to ever have the hope of taking and pacifying. Ironically, Putin has today made the exact same mistake as Hitler did when trying to take Ukraine, and under the same flawed assumption ("we just need to kick the door in and the entire country will fold") Putin sent in a pathetically small first wave of a mere 250.000 men to take a country with a population of 50 million people and about a third of the size of Russia. And just like with Hitlers Operation Barbarossa, the battle was lost before it even began.

  6846.  @johnhough9593  The Soviets beat the germans mostly on their own. The whole "oh but they could never have won without aid from the west!" Is nothing but an unveiled attempt at stolen glory. Americans and Brits can't handle the fact that they were both exposed as bottom bitches by the Soviets during WW2, which is why they always invent these fanciful stories about Hitler actually having a chance at winning the eastern front. Which would've been impossible even if the slavs only had half the resources of what they actually had.

  6847.  @jesupcolt  No I understand your argument just fine, but you're still wrong. "Society" doesn't need to function in a war economy, as long as the military has weapons, ammunition and manpower. The famine was not nearly as critical as you make it out to be. This is a falsehood and mostly propaganda invented by american revisionist historians. It was never a case where the soldiers of the Red Army were on the brink of starving to death or physically unable to carry out their duties due to being too famished. The people who starved the worst were the civilians, deemed to be "non critical" to Stalins war effort.

People will still do grunt labour for payment, especially in agrarian societies where most people will be uneducated and thus unqualified for more advanced and industrial work methods. Given the choice between starving or working the fields most people will choose to work the fields, without needing to be forced through slavery to do it. The institution of slavery or serfdom is only created to benefit the landowners by making sure that all profits of the agrarian work always remain with them and preventing the labourers from improving their station and thus threaten the landowners position.

It's hard for coders to explain to potential employers about why their talent is worth higher pay than the average coder because the manager knows jack shit about programming to begin with.

I've lost count of how many times companies purchase inferior software solutions to their day to day businesses. Even with the most cursory programming knowledge as mine, I can still identify these glaring flaws in the software that a decent designer would've been able to rectify in no time.

Also to safeguard against the misuse of grown food: that's what food banks and depots are for. 3. No, they can't just buy or capture food en-gross. If insurgents in the past could, they wouldn't have to resort to gathering support from or strong arm farmers into giving them food. Also, proper supply depots are defensible structures. A guerilla force is not just waltzing in there taking whatever they feel like without opposition.

A truly "equal" society is one completely devoid of any and all hierachies. If you want an example of that, then look at the Borg from Star Trek (before the writers introduced the concept of a "Borg Queen"). The Borg is a completely equal society if they don't have a queen.

But the modern so called "black perspective" never adress or even acknowledge black african complicity in the slave trade, making it inherently dishonest. If we applied the same arguments to something like drug trafficking, it would be the same as placing all blame and all responsibility of drug buyers, while claiming that people who manufacture and sell drugs are completely innocent.

  6903. Feuer der Veränderung: The vickers machinegun had water cooling around the barrel itself. But it became very heavy as a result. Which is why infantry machine guns evolved towards more portable, air cooled versions. That said, installed on a tank, the bulk of a water cooled machine gun wouldn't have the same issues as when infantry have to lug it around. I'm just thinking that in general, air cooled machine guns seem to overheat a lot quicker than water cooled machine guns did (it's basic physics really: water is a better conductor for heat than air is, therefore submerging a machine gun barrel in water would give it a better heat sink at ground level than just having it exposed to air) so maybe a watercooled machine gun would've been useful for tanks since their barrels wouldn't need to be replaced due to overheating as often?

The spirit is that a free citizen should be able to express their views if they like, without intervention or censure from ANYONE (including "private" corporations, although neither facebook, twitter or youtube are private corporations since they have all accepted government subsidies in their businesses, and thus the government has every right to exert control over them) Also, due to the fact that all the news outlets use these platforms for political purposes and influencing elections, the government would be entirely in the right to step in and nationalize them or turn them into public utilities because refusing to exert control over private companies that directly influence election results is the same thing as handing over your national sovreignty. Constitutionally speaking: sovreignty will always take priority over the "rights" of private entities to threaten your national sovreignty. The conservative position is that everyone should respect everyone elses constitutional rights. That includes companies and does not "just" apply to the government.

  6920. No, there are three parties calling themselves "democrats" among the established parties. There's the anti-immigration conservative Sweden Democrats. There's the labour union party the social democrats. And then there's the currently unprofiled somewhat rightwing party the "Christian Democrats". The word "democrat" is just a name. It doesn't mean anything as far as policies are concerned because any idiot can call themselves "democrat" of some flavour and argue for pretty much anything. It's only in the U.S and it's dysfunctional two-party system where "democrat" has cemented associations with certain policies.

  6926. As a counterpoint to risk-taking: if you only take risks where the consequences only affect you, then that's fine. But what about the situations when people depend on you as a man? Take my situation for example. My mother has accrued some serious debts in her life, and because I don't want to see her homeless or that we as a family lose the house that my grandfather left behind in which she lives in, i'm currently paying off those debts of hers. Combined with the fact that I recently became a father and have an infant daughter to support, I can't help but feel that it would be deeply irresponsible of me to gamble with my job and income just to gain some personal satisfaction of always speaking my mind in the workplace, when I know that my views would certainly land me with punitive actions from my employer. I don't like it, but for the moment I have to do the responsible thing by keeping my head down and not rocking the boat at my place of work. I'm not an online influencer. I don't have a massive audience who'll bail me out with crowdfunding donations if I get fired or my prospects of wage increases get docked because a boss might decide that I have "problematic opinions". I wish my parents were in a better situation and I didn't have to worry about losing that property. But as the situation is, I have to deal with it as it is until the mission is complete.

And while warfare bring out some of the least moral sides in humans, it also brings about some of the most genius sides in humans as well. I'm not very interested in "what if?"-scenarios, because hey're just idle speculation and has little to do with the real world.

  6941. Oh and by the way: I would've raged if that kind of money were spent on "philosophical" ans/or "artistic" pursuits.

Artists and philosophers should all be booted out on the streer and be forced to live as beggars.

  6942. Harry Pothead: No we cannot achieve global peace in due time. At least not without harsh oppression of factions, countries and cultures who oppose it. The only way to do it would be through a dominant, military or economic faction that conquers all others and beat them into unconditional surrender and full submission. Hardly the most ethical or morally superior course of action if one values freedom and democracy. I never said I'd "destroy" art or philosophy. I'm saying I'd throw practicioners of art and philosophy out from the academic world, because government funds spent on these pursuits are wasted money. If they go out and get real jobs and decide to waste their own salaries on "art and philosophy" then that's their prerogative, because at least they have contributed to society through actual labour with tangible, measurable results in terms of profit and financial growth. But not a single tax dollar should be allowed to be spent on a bunch of libertine parasites who run around thinking it's okay to have your life funded by government means because you decide to sit around, making "sculptures" or "paintings" that looks like some idiot scribblongs a four year old would make in kindergarten, or sitting in some anti-intellectual echo chamber rambling random thoughts based on nothing but your own, insular imagination and calling yourself a "philosopher". Science, actual science like chemistry, physics, mathematics and biology all have tangible benefits to society and humanity. Therefore they present utilitarian opportunities and substitute useful areas of research to spend government funds on. "Art" and "philosophy" does not. Because every dealer in these topics are quacks and charlatans. Entitled, parasite cancergrowths on society that needs to be cut off from government funding.

(this is why you and your rebuttals just bore me and proves how much lack of creativity your own mind suffer from) Government funds should be relegated solely to that which is of tangible use for it's citizens.

  6951.  @akbarsdesign  That's fair. But flipping the issue around a little, there are still a lot of parents who want things like public education too. Rich folks want it because they don't want poor people to be deprived of education and means of upwards social mobility. Poor parents want it because they wouldn't be able to afford private schooling. But when you mention public education to libertarians, they tend to go "Eugh! TAX FUNDED education!? What communism is this!? You're literally Stalin!" I don't want any educative body to preach or teach politics either. That's not the prerogative of a school. A school is supposed to be about teaching skills and not values. The teaching of values is the exclusive realm of parents. But I don't see how abolishing taxes or public education will ever be of benefit to poor people. Libertarian dismissals about "well there will be charities to take care of that" does not cut it because nobody can make a life plan around the waxing and waning of charity. So what needs to be changed about public education is not to abolish it, but to remove the teaching of values and politics from it. And I should know, because my education was tax funded, and my parents damn sure would not be able to afford sending me to private schools, just so those "poor oppressed" wealthy business magnates could be relieved of the "burden" of paying taxes.

  6954. r3dhour: I don't think you understand the phrase "buy you out". Google can't "buy anyone out" as long as the founder of the company keeps more than 50 % of the company shares for himself. That way he or she will automatically have voting majority among the board of directors and no matter if Google purchased 49 % of the other shares, they would'nt have a say in anything. Also, as a company you are not obliged to put up shares of your company on the stock market at all. Companies only do it as a means to gain investments and starting capital. But if the company was crowdfunded entirely and went on to become a self-sustaining enterprise through ad-revenue, google wouldn't be able to do shit or buy anyone out unless the majority shareholder himself decides to sell out.

It's more likely that his videos get demonetized due to computerized "guilt by association". Some idiot programmer at youtube have just taken a list of words found in other channels tags and titles and fed them to their de-monitizing bot and let it loose, which naturally leads to innocent youtubers getting their videos demonitized as well. Youtube being cheapskates and are unwilling to hire a bigger staff in order to personally help content creators sort the matter out, couldn't care less that innocent content creators also get to suffer the ban-hammer. They are about as helpful as the idiots running facebook. To be honest, deciding to police content creators uploads was a bad decision on youtube.

They could say "we demand better wages and conditions for your employees or else we will not buy from you". But consumers never do, because they're focused solely on cheap prices. Incidentally, consumers are mostly comprised of those "average joes". Not your husband personally perhaps (I don't know about his personal purchase habits) but millions of people just like him.

  7008.  @ajossi  Well I'd revamp the electronics as well. First of all, I'd remove the LED's. You want to squeeze as much reliability out of any firearm that includes electronics as you possibly can. So having LED's light up is just waste of power, and also it's going to be terrible for shooting in low light conditions since the glowing LED will mess up the shooters night vision. Second, I'd skip using a watch that includes a bunch of controls and options. An RFID chip can be made very small and doesn't require battery power of it's own. It's enough for the reader of the chip to be electrified. So instead of a watch, I'd design a ring for the shooter to wear on his or jer finger with the RFID chip inside of it. And also reduce the range of the reader to the point where the ring basically has to be in contact with the pistol grip for the pistol to fire. Third, I would seriously consider if a dynamo of some kind could be integrated into the gun, and perhaps if the RFID reader could be made in such a way where it reads in "snapshots" whenever the trigger is depressed. As in the reader isn't turned on constantly to check if the RFID chip is nearby or not. The reader only starts up when you pull the trigger and checks for the RFID hex code inside the ring, activates the firing pin for one shot and then shuts itself off before the cycle of the gun has been completed. This I would do to save power but also getting back to my idea with the dynamo, you might actually have the gun being "self powered". As in the dynamo is integrated with the slide, so when you pull the slide to load a bullet into the breech, the slide also winds the dynamo, creating a little charge being stored in a small rechargeable battery or capacitor which powers the RFID reader and the electromagnet. This means that for every round fired, the dynamo will get wound up and hopefully store the necessary charge needed to fire the next round, negating the need for separate batteries altogether.
    1

Or, if someone were to be so inclined, with my design, it might even be possible to have the RFID chip implanted under the skin of ones hand, in case you don't like the idea of wearing a ring that deactivates the firing pin block. That way, so long as the mechanism works as intended, it would be pretty difficult for anyone other than the designated operator to fire the weapon. Unless you chopped off the operators hand and held it against the pistol grip when shooting that is.

  7011.  @phunkracy  Tanks get bogged down in mud too. And tanks don't really want to be in completely open terrain either, because artillery will have a field day with them when that happens. Tanks require a lot of close support from combined forces to feel safest in open terrain. At least during WWIi way before the invention of thermal imaging and the like. Nowadays tanks can spot threatening infantry quite far away. But then again, nowadays there's also a bigger threat from the skies with the obscenely accurate and fast aircraft equipped for destroying tanks. Not much you can do when a Warthog or something similar pproaches your position if you're in a tank.

  7012.  @DarkAlex1978 : Yeah, people are pretty stupid as usual. Also to clarify: I'm arrogant. I don't have academic credentials. My knowledge is mostly autodidactic. I like reading and studying for the sake of learning. I don't like jumping through hoops or studying crap that doesn't interest me because some teacher or professor says I have to. That's why I never wanted to go and study at a university. Well... That reason and the fact that universities in the west have turned into anti-intellectual, "post-colonial" indoctrination centers for the far left. But i'm pedantic about facts (much like Raf), and can still partake in most discussions using logic alone. So if I was called arrogant for being opinionated I could accept it since I don't have any credentials to present. But i'm fine with that, because arrogance doesn't necessarily mean that you are wrong (as logic dictates) Raf has the credentials, and should flash them when appropriate just to show that he isn't arrogant. He's jumped throgh the hoops that I just don't have the patience for.

  7013.  @DarkAlex1978 : Thank you for the vote of confidence. In my defense, I think people throw the word "arrogance" around without knowing what it means. Basically you will be judged as arrogant based on how you behave and word your arguments. And in that regard, I most certainly am arrogant. I remain very humble when talking about topics that I know little about, and where logic can't really keep me afloat in the discussion. But when talking about topics where I know I have the facts on my side, and being faced with an opponent who is factually wrong. I tend to be very hardline about the facts. And if they're being smug in their ignorance, I have been known to "steamroll" over them (not beint very diplomatic in my presentation at all). That behaviour usually results in being accused of arrogance. But I'd say it comes with the territory with being pedantic or even borderline autistic about facts. You tend to develop a certain aversion to people who insult the facts by misrepresenting them or making false claims. You just don't want to see people get away with falsehoods or lies.

  7016.  @jamesroper4952  It was a new world for the people who travelled from Europe and discovered it. Just as Europe would've been a new world to native american explorers... If they had actually bothered to go out and explore that is.

  7017.  @jamesroper4952 : But they did. They just didn't know about it. The reason being to be made aware of potential enemies on the outside, as well as trade and develop their technology through exports and imports, like the Europeans did. Had they done that, they might not have been such complete pushovers when the Conquistadors showed up with their superior military technology. If you don't go out in the world to fight new enemies, your warriors will never develop and evolve, and they will become ineffective at defending your home soil.

  7018.  @jamesroper4952 : No, overpopulation was not the incentive for exploration. It wasn't even an issue back then because of plagues and wars that had culled the numbers of Europeans quite substantially at the time. The Americas was discovered by accident by Europeans who wanted to find new, and better trade routes by sea to asia. The american continent just happened to be in the way. The fact that diseases felled native americans so easily just goes to show the importance of exploration and interaction with other cultures. Being isolated for millennia leaves any population with a weak, over-specialized immune system, making new microbes and viruses inroduced that much more deadly. Also, the earliest Viking discoveries of Canada did not "run into natives" at all. There is no historical record of any interaction between them, because the areas where they landed were unpopulated for miles. Historical evidence suggests that they abandoned their settlements due to logistical reasons. Just as they did with some on iceland and greenland. Their expeditions were not nearly as large or well equipped as those of Columbus were, which is why they couldn't gain a foothold. Diseases or not, native americans didn't have much resistance to offer. Primitive weapons like spears, slings, bows and arrows can't really compete with guns and cannons.

  7019. AdoraBell: But that wouldn't really work with currencies of the middle ages would it? I mean the value of Euro and British Pound Sterling is determined by outside factors than the currency itself. They're both fiat currencies. But during rhe middle ages, currency was usually minted in coin, and the coins contained a certain amount of precious metals like gold or silver. So unlike our modern fiat currencies whose value is derived from debt and bonds in a modern banking systrm, the currencies of the middle ages usually had their own intrinsic value as physical pieces of precious metals. So it wouldn't really matter if I had currency from one country or the other. The value would still be roughly the same depending on how much the currency weighed and what precious metals it was minted from.

  7042. Marxiavelli24: Brawlers win more fights than martial artists do. Also a brawler isn't necessarily a bad person. I'd rather have a brawler who also happens to be a good person covering my back, than a martial artist who only practiced theoretical fighting in a dojo.

  7043. Marxiavelli24: Boxers are actually very respectful in their own clubs. The thing about boxing is that much of it is about using psychological rage to build up force and power in your punches. So against actual opponents, they're not as respectful but instead psych eachother up.
    1
  7044. Marxiavelli24: See there? Your master got his head smashed from behind with a glass bottle. That's the stuff brawlers learn (often painfully so). They don't teach you about getting clocked with a glass bottle in a dojo. They don't teach you about people jumping you from behind when you're not even aware of being in a fight. Now a brawler who takes up martial arts, stands a good chance of developing the knowledge from martial arts into practical usage. But if someone has never been in a fight before, a formal style of martial arts with formal rules and a formal setting isn't going to teach you being a practical fighter. The key to being a practical fighter is very nebulous. It's that undefinable trait or ability which only develops through real fighting. Being amped up and ready. Having the correct reflexes, like a veteran instinctively reaching for a gun and shoot back as soon as he hears a specific noise in the enviroment, or being watchful for details that no one with combat experience would even know to look for. Also, this nebulous quality somewhat contradicts the ideals of formal martial arts about living a peaceful and tranquil life, with "inner balance" and similar Buddhist-stuff. Maintaining this ability means being very on edge, and having a mindset that's anything but peaceful or tranquil. Just look at boxers that was previously mentioned. They gain a lot of their power through rage. And this isn't some myth, but there's been actual scientific tests where you could measure the amount of PSI a punch generated from a boxer when he punched being in a normal mindset compared to when he psyched himself up into a rage to the point where he generated enough force to crack a persons skull with a single punch. But ask any psychologist and they'll tell you why being so close to such rage is bad for your mental health (which also explains why so many heavy weight boxers end up in the news or in prison for having beaten some poor sap into a pulp) And unsurprisingly, most successful heavy weight boxers are also experienced brawlers from troubled youths.

The meaning of the word basically denotes homosexual men who adopts a submissive position during homosexual intercourse. If it was considered a vile and taboo insult at the time, then they can't have been very "progressive" about homosexuality or gender roles now could they?

  7054.  @Manannan_mac_Lir  But carpet bombing cities with conventional bombs for weeks at a time is just fine and dandy? 🤔
    1
  7055.  @Manannan_mac_Lir  But the thing is, the decision to use those nukes in the first place was deliberated for quite some time on beforehand. So no, it was not a matter of "hindsight" but FORESIGHT. The pacific war had gone on for a very long time before the nukes were deployed. American forces hardly captured ANY prisoners from the enemy, nor from Japanese civilians during that time. The amount of captured prisoners was so staggeringly low to be unprecedented. Do you know why? Because even Japanese civilians had the mindset that they would fight to the bitter end. Japanese soldiers were even worse. So the Pentagon crunched the numbers of Japanese troops killed in action versus Japanese troops caught as prisoners of war or who surrendered and applied those statistics to a scenario of a mainland invasion of Japan and realized that they would've ended up having to fight and kill more than ten times as many Japanese citizens (soldiers and civilians alike) through conventional warfare. So tell me, how is a deathtoll tenfold larger than the deathtoll of Hiroshima and Nagasaki getting nuked a "better" result? War is war at the end of the day. There are no "good" outcomes, only more or less deadly outcomes. Wishing that nukes shouldn't exist is about as naive as to wish that war shouldn't exist, but it does. And the fact remains that countries with nuclear weapons are safer than countries without them, since even superpowers are scared of provoking a possible nuclear conflict with smaller nuclear countries.
    1
  7056.  @Manannan_mac_Lir  Uh, it was naval blockades that cause the Empire of Japan to launch on attack on Pearl Harbour in the first place. Also what "freedom of choice" do you think the average citizen in Japan enjoyed? Have you even looked at their culture today? Even today the Japanese are extremely conformist and will do as they are told by the authorities. During the Covid pandemic their government didn't even need to issue any mandates, because the Japanese just obeyed the instructions anyway. This is what Japan is like TODAY. Imperial Japan was like that but cranked up to eleven. Every single Japanese citizen was taught from birth that the Emperor was their living god, and that every japanese person owed their life and honour to him and the fatherland. Their entire military was basically like ISIS in terms of fanaticism and devotion. And remember ISIS are so fanatical that they have no problem finding suicide bombers for any attack they want to stage. Imperial Japan was exactly like that, but had many millions of people with the ISIS mindset. So what basis do you have to even suggest that they would've just "chosen" on their own individual accord to surrender after a naval blockade? I want to hear you justify why tenfold the number of dead Japanese people is better than the lower number of dead Japanese caused by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Do you have any RATIONAL reason whatsoever to prefer a higher killcount as opposed to the lower one? Because to me you sound kind of monstrous prefering to see that many more civilians dead.

  7057.  @Manannan_mac_Lir  There would've been survivors after a mainland invasion. Only far less of them. Those were the options that the Allies were faced with at the time. And they picked the lesser evil option. And you're here complaining because you naively assume that some mystical "third option" would've been available with no evidence to back up such a claim.

  7058.  @Manannan_mac_Lir  Your example is ridiculous because the contexts are entirely different. Russia using nukes today would only open up for other countries using nukes against Russia. Neither the Russians nor anyone else wants that. When Hiroshima and Nagasaki was nuked however, no other country in the world had nuclear arms except the U.S. So there was no chance of any nuclear retaliation at the time.

  7059.  @Manannan_mac_Lir  "Murder" is a legal term. Killing people in war is not murder. It's just war. I question leaders all the time.

I know that it is a country that exist. I know that Sasha Baron Cohen the comedia poked fun at the country with his "Borat" character. But that's about a far as my knowledge extends about the country. It's history and culture just hasn't played a huge part in my life or my countrys history, so there's never been a reason or need for me to study the country's history or culture whatsoever. I'm fairly certain the same situation applies to most people living in Khazakstan. I won't hold it against them if the Khazaks don't know anything about my homeland, because we simply haven't had that much cultural exchange to begin with.

It's about the physical capabilities of the native countries natural resources being able to sustain the lifestyle and size of the country's population. Which is less of a problem in indonesia since practically everyone there are dirt poor and live dirt poor lifestyles. Japan however is struggling with it and their current system is far from sustainable.

  7102.  @sebastianriz4703  I can sit on my knees, but the issue for me is that when you sit in Seiza, you're basically sitting on your feet, and the top of your feet end up being stretched along the floor. It really hurts.

  7103.  @batesvillbilly368  I never said they weren't bad. What i'm saying is that if you're going to criticize, at least do it on a foundation of truth rather than perpetuating uninformed boogeyman myths. It's just as idiotic as running around believing that every single soldier who fought for the wehrmacht was a genocidal SS-posterboy, like a lot of people still believe, despite the massive historical innaccuracy of it.

  7104.  @batesvillbilly368  I have no ignorance. I know about the persecutions. They were just completely irrelevant to my statements. You see, christianity fell under the kind of written works that contradicted the state. Which I spoke about in my original post. Had you just asked first, you wouldn't have had to embarass yourself like this. But here we are, you made baseless assumptions about my statements, invented strawmen to attack me with, and ended up looking like a dumbass because of it. 😀 Religion is also not "part of" secular culture. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, whatever. It has no bearing on works of fiction unless the authors purposefully draw inspiration from them in their works, which makes the fiction theistic by definition. Also, yet again you bring up completely irrelevant strawmen to "prove a point" I never once argued that communism works. Yet you bring it up like an idiotic non sequiteur to "counter" something I never said. Unlike you, I give credit where credit is due. The USSR did some terrible things, but also did some beneficial things... Like turning a country of ignorant and uneducated farmers into an industrial society of literate people. It doesn't excuse the persecutions, but the persecutions also do not detract from the achievements. But you, being a non-intellectual and political demagogue can't do that. You have to smear ideologies you disagree with by default. Even if the USSR had invented the cure for cancer, you would still not be able to admit that achievement of theirs. Because you are disingenous. A proper bad faith actor. Which also explains why you resorted to strawmanning to begin with. I mentioned a truth about the USSR, which didn't immediately paint the USSR in an negative light. And that was like waving a red sheet in front of you, making you go berserk. Becase you're probably one of the unquestioning idiot worshippers of the free market fairy. So nobody should have the nerve to mention any achievements of the USSR on your watch, isn't that right, little libertarian?

  7107. The use of such helmets is not for things like extended fieldwork. Rather it's more similar in utility to a ballistic shield. No real soldier lugs around a ballistic shield for extended periods in combat zones either. You break it out when you know there's enemies in a building that must be breached.

  7108.  @The_Natalist  You can probably find pictures and videos of it. Trust me, not a pretty sight. And nowhere near the good conditions of your chickens. In my country I see cows living pretty tranquil lives in wide and open pastures fenced in with barbed wire or electrical wire. They can move and graze as they wish. Cattle consigned to factory farms is an entirely different story.

  7119.  @मृदुलशर्मा  Of course there is humane killing. Also humans have killed both animals and members of their own species since they took their first steps on this planet. Stop trying to redefine what "humane" means.

  7120.  @Vegan.Fairy.x  What do you think amounts to a "natural lifespan" for prey animals in general? All domesticated animals in farming are descendants of prey animals, who would get eaten by predators in the wild.
    1
  7121.  @Vegan.Fairy.x  No it's entirely relevant, because part of a "natural lifespan" for a prey animal involves getting eaten by predators. Suppose we just let the domesticated pigs out in the wild instead of humanely killing a few of them and eating them. They'd all be slaughtered within weeks because being bred in captivity means they lack the instincts and physique necessary to have a fighting chance against the predators out in the wild. So their "natural lifespan" would be cut very short. And their deaths would be agonizing because getting eaten by predators is often a brutal and drawn out affair.

  7126.  @viperstriker4728  A "science" that relies on statistical interpretation and polls/questionaires alone is not real science. But you'll find a lot of them in the humanities. Like the pseudo-scientific fields called "gender studies" or "post-colonial studies". Also about 80 % of Psychology is the same bullshit. Armchair philosophers who do not bother with the necessary legwork.

  7130.  @Ordo1980  I think the unit of measurement for rice was "Koku".

  7131.  @SergioLeonardoCornejo  I'd argue that bullet cartridges is the most sensible form of currency. Rice spoils over time. You can't save and store it forever. And it's value will deplete the more rice is being grown. Bullets will always be relevant and they hardly lose any value.

  7132.  @Ordo1980  The rule of thumb was that 1 Koku was considered to be enough rice to feed 1 man for a full year. And that is the measure that wealth level of a feudal domain was measured by. A samurai lord would only be considered a daimyo of his domain's rice production exceeded 10.000 Koku. So I guess trade goods and currencies were backed up by the rice supply.

  7136.  @johnhonker437  Yes. They call it a "critical" theory. So it's rather counterproductive that they try to teach a critical anlysis to humans at an age where their critical thinking is the most underdeveloped. I can only assume this is done on purpose. They don't want the children to think "critically". If critical thinking was truly desired, they wouldn't subject children to it to begin with.
