Pistol_Pete posted:Good to hear that while our geopolitical opponents are so dangerous that they're threatening the Western Way of Life, they're simultaneously so corrupt and incompetent that their nukes will fizzle out on the launch pads like faulty fireworks Even if it's all true, and 99% of their nukes don't work because of corruption, all it takes is for one to go off to cause the US to massively overreact. Or would the US be happy to not retaliate with a barrage of (totally functional) nukes and let Washington DC/New York being nuked slide. Now if that one functioning Russian nuke landed in London/Paris/Berlin they might not kick off thermonuclear armageddon. They might even send Putin a thank you card.

A Buttery Pastry posted:The thing that would have to not work would be the missiles themselves. Like, the outcome of "Russia attempts a first strike but none of its nukes work" would be the US bombing Russia (and likely its other geopolitical rivals) into the stone age before it lost its capability, then looking very silly when all the nukes just plow into the ground. A side order of nuclear winter and 50% reduction of the global population would do wonders for climate change. Ecosphere remains hosed though. And that's assuming the US nukes work as planned and decades of cost cutting and austerity haven't led to the silo doors not being oiled.

Also, it'd speed up climate change, as we're constantly introducing short-lived chemicals that reduce incoming solar radiation into the atmosphere through our industrial processes. Take China out of the picture, and the Earth warms by 1°C almost immediately.

Sir Sidney Poitier posted:I'd love to see someone make a coherent argument for them. It's been recognised that while biological sex has no influence on intelligence, it does have an influence on the rate at which you assimilate information of different types at different ages. So there's a logical argument for having separate curriculums teaching the same things but at different ages until intellectual development balances out around age 16. The easiest way to implement that would be gender segregation of schools prior to sixth form. Note that this is an argument based solely on educational progress and the benefits provided would not be huge. With that in mind, it still makes more sense to mix genders for the purposes of social development.

Binchat, I know (NORMAN!), but three times in the last five weeks our previously weekly bin collection has been missed. Went to the council's site to complain ( that you have to wait until 11pm to put in a complaint - has anyone ever seen a bin lorry out that late?) and on a hunch checked the 'collection times' page. Yup, they changed to a fortnightly schedule without telling anyone. Some genius-level thinking here. "If we only pick up once a fortnight, we'll halve our expenditure!" Except the standard bin barely fits a week's worth of rubbish for a household of four, so now you have to drive over to the tip with your excess once a fortnight, creating more pollution and congestion. Or, and I'm sure nobody without a car (or even with one) would even consider doing this, you just flytip it. It's a Tory council, of course. Fuckers.

Other than the incest I guess. theres always some kind of thematic item for each game, whether its blood or souls or fingers. most of the game lore is in the item descriptions but the souls games are always badly localised (apart from the top voice acting), probably on purpose cause the inspiration for them was reading LOTR and glorantha while only half understanding english. GRRM wrote the backstory and its actually very GRRM. obviously youve got the incest and the similar names (no very young girls with specifically described breasts though) but also the whole setting is various cultures that have formed around manipulative alien forces they dont understand as these forces struggle for supremacy of the world/area whatever the lands betwixt actually is. people building their socieites around something they misunderstand and is manipulating them is a big GRRM thing
