his post was very stupid though. f117 would be a terrible attacker to put in the game because it's not going to do any radar stealth poo poo (i dont think any sim does). it'd just be a really lovely plane. shittier than real life even

it's 2023 brother, really lovely military hardware is the way of the future. they should find some way to put in that us navy ship whose ammo never got manufactured in the game

yeah this is dumb again. it's the unclassified you can freely find or buy pdfs of (its a pain in the rear end to find free ones but you can). i think it might have been FOUO at one time but probably isn't anymore and doesn't matter anyway if you aren't the government employee leaking it. also im not even sure if it meant jack poo poo in 1992 anyway? not dumb for gaijin to delete these but almost all of the warthunder "classified" stories are about unclassified, unrestricted materials and manuals. i think the challenger and maybe one of the chinese leaks was actual restricted poo poo.
yeah yeah but this is like trying to deflate goon telephone. sure it might be accurate but it's funnier to come up with histrionic telephone stories because it's funnier to think warthunder keeps getting opsec leaks every other month.

so i shall keep believing that they're leaking classified information to win petty arguments over war thunder forums.

why do you play zero build mode instead of build mode

I can't do the building with my old man hands.

the way frostpunk treats the ethical decisions you make is a little weird

i feel like child labor is a little more defensible when you're all going to freeze to death without it, it's not like you're doing it to increase revenue this quarter

that's an expression of the trolley problem, though. And sure, you might say "freezing to death" is an acceptable line to cross for justifying child labor, but what happens when "we're all going to die if we don't do this" becomes more and more abstract and indirect?

right, so it's entirely fair to pose child labor as a controversial choice even in the face of an existential threat, because insofar as we might think that "well, it's not in the service of increasing next quarter's revenues", there are also people out there who believe that loving with capitalism and its need to increase next quarter's revenues is itself an issue that costs human lives
