thetoughestbean posted:lol. Lmao What’s the counterpoint? The élan of American troops will be enough to overcome a force with vastly superior manpower and productive capacity? Because a lot of countries have thought that in the past, and it doesn’t have a great track record.

Runa posted:Much like Gripweed, China also thought they could easily take the US and made very aggressive moves towards Taiwan as a result. That doesn’t seem accurate. China did military exercises near Taiwan just last year. Edit: and Taiwan and Ukraine aren’t really comparable. Russia can’t blockade Ukraine. China could fully blockade Taiwan in 24 hours. All that outdated American equipment doesn’t matter when it can’t get to the place it’s supposed to go. So I don’t understand why you think China thinks Taiwan would be another Ukraine. Gripweed has a new favorite as of 23:02 on Apr 26, 2024 |

Coolguye posted:to be only slightly less dismissive, let me expand on this slightly Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. China's culture is inferior to our own, that is why they can never defeat us. That is an interesting take.

Coolguye posted:lol that isn't what i said and it's extremely telling that you read it like that I'm not sure how to take "the Chinese would not be able to win a war against us because they are incentivized to lie at every level of their society" as anything other than a suggestion that Chinese culture is inferior to our own.

Runa posted:I read it as more of a statement about dysfunction in China's civil and military administrative structure, myself. I can't believe that's what coolguye meant, because that would suggest that they believe America doesn't have similar or greater levels of dysfunction in our own civil and military administrative structure. And if they really meant that, well, smashcut to montage of the last ten years of American history.

If Disney wants to revitalize the MCU, they need to drop the Kang storyline, put the multiverse stuff to the side, and go back to basics. Create an easy to understand hook that gets people interested again; vampires. Make the bad guy in every MCU movie a vampire. People would watch superheroes vs vampires. And the new Thanos, the new big bad guy they’re building up for the ultimate showdown? That’s right, it’s Dracula.

The opening to Beethoven's Symphony #9 absolutely kicks rear end but I've never listened to the whole song because it's simply too long and doesn't have any lyrics

doverhog posted:They are both Hitler. I wish I could promise that Hitler will lose, but it's not in any way guaranteed. Wouldn't Trump be the fourth Hitler? Or are Netanyahu, Putin, and Trump so bad they make the original Hitler not even count as a Hitler anymore in comparison?
