ThomasPaine posted:My hatred of the American police and my love of the hardboiled alcoholic American detective trope pose an ideological contradiction inside of me that I don't think will ever be resolved. Noir is usually about the police (and authority figures in general) being corrupt, brutal shitheads, though.

Oh dear me posted:You say that, but she uses 'safety net' rhetoric, which was exactly the Tory rhetoric supporting means testing. Safety nets aren't selective, though. They're loving nets. They cushion anyone who drops into them. They don't require anyone to fill out a form first to see if they're eligible to hit the net rather than the floor.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:I wonder, surely there's a genre of fiction/erotica where all the wizards and witches are kinky. I dread to think what could happen in a world where magic and BDSM intersect. The average time between a group of people starting an Internet discussion on fantasy and someone kramering in to go 'no, Kushiel's Dart is actually really good' is shorter than you might think. It is not good.

Jippa posted:How legitimate is https://www.businessinsider.com I often see it linked on reddit to stories about russia/brexit etc. I never know what to make of it though it seems quite click baity.

Seriously, though, it's wild how much better the Tomcat and Phoenix performed once Iran got their hands on them.quote:Following the overthrow of the Shah in 1979, the air force was renamed the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) and the post-revolution Interim Government of Iran canceled most Western arms orders. In 1980, an Iranian F-14 shot down an Iraqi Mil Mi-25 helicopter for its first air-to-air kill during the Iran–Iraq War (1980–1988). According to research by Tom Cooper, Iranian F-14s scored at least 50 air-to-air victories in the first six months of the war against Iraqi MiG-21s, MiG-23s, and some Su-20s/22s. During the same period, only one Iranian F-14 suffered damage after being hit by debris from a nearby MiG-21 that exploded. The Iraqis got stomped so hard by the Tomcats that they ended up buying Mirages from France specifically to kill them. The Mirages indeed manage to shoot down three F-14s... but the Tomcats shot down thirty of them in return.
