Oh, sorry, I don't mean "the Art of War is stupid, it's all obvious stuff that everyone always knew, there was no point in writing it". Yes, certainly it was probably novel and useful at the time!

I meant that I've heard about people claiming it's inspirational and wise advice for, like, succeeding in business and such like, and applicable to our modern day way of life, day-to-day, and it's fantastic. When no, it really only is the very basics of warfare and nothing more. Which is fine! It's just that some people seem to treat it like a self-help book or something

i know this was a couple pages ago, but i was reminded of the early modern Erasmus treatise on how to behave properly

Carthag Tuek posted:

A few notes on how to behave by Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466–1536), from his work De civilitate morum puerilium (On Civility in Children). Some are reasonable, others are a bit weird:

  • Snot should not hang from the Nose [...] Wiping ones Nose on their Hat or Clothes is rogueish and farmerish; on the Arm or Elbow is for Fishmongers and Shopmistresses.
  • To laugh at all Words or Deeds is for Jesters; to laugh at none is for Stupids.
  • If thou must vomit, then go aside (by yourself). To vomit is not bad in itself, but to have caused it with Gluttony or Greed in Food and Drink is terrible.
  • If one has Something stuck in one's Teeth, do not pick it out with a Knife or Fingernails like a Dog or a Cat. [Rather, use] the small Bones from the upper Thigh of a Chicken.
  • To sit with the Knees wide from Eachother or to stretch and bend ones Legs is Prideful. When one sits, one should hold both Knees together and the Feet when one stands, or separate them slightly from Eachother. Some sit so that their one Shin is hanging above the other Knee, some stand with their Legs crossed together. The former is for the Anxious and the latter for Fools.
  • Do not walk through Church shouting a short Prayer to Christ with your Head bare.
  • To look at others with crossed Eyes while drinking is shameful, likewise to bend the Neck back like a Stork to get the last Sip.
  • To dip ones Fingers in the Food is farmerish.
  • It is an extreme Human that gropes around in the Bowl with their Hand, likewise it is of ill Repute to turn the Bowl so that the good Bits come to thee.

Couldn't find an English edition online, so these are my translations from the Danish 1646 edition. Highly recommended!

War Thunder is a game about tanks and fighter planes. People keep posting classified documents on the forums in an attempt to tweak the numbers.

The latest leak is about the F-16. (e: well, maybe I'm mixing up the third and fourth leak!)

The thing is, there's a Hellenic Air Force F-16 manual floating around the internet, that says very prominently at the top that it's still classified as all hell, which just constantly comes up in search results in its entirety. As in, when trying to find out info for the performance of the F-16 in DCS, I kept stumbling across the real thing. Again and again. It is ridiculously easy to find. A DCS dev got in trouble for using it, too, as it happens.

So, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the HAF manual again. If so, it's not quite the same thing as the previous leaks, which was military people posting documents they have access to in order to prove that their fave War Thunder unit should get buffed. It's more a case of "you have to be actively trying, quite hard, to find unclassified F-16 information without repeatedly stumbling upon this document that you will get in trouble for possessing".

I've even seen excerpts of it on Wikipedia!
