Ardennes posted:As far as the pollling, it doesn't look like "claimed forum concensus" (which is the Ukrainians are absolutely smashing the Russia at every step doesn't) match that of the American public and if anything certain threads are rather extreme outliers versus the public (they wouldn't just say there is just an advantage but Russia is on its last legs as a country etc etc). A lot of it is that people on here are a small demographic (compared to the US population) of terminally online/Twitter brained people who for some reason think your average person even cares about most of this stuff. Like 1/5 of US adults actually use Twitter yet there are people on here (SomethingAwful) who will claim to you that if Twitter went away tomorrow the front lines will collapse and Joe Biden will forget to send money/arms to Ukraine.

Some Guy TT posted:i feel like if you really want to hire an inuit mathematician you should probably get a headhunter to find one instead of putting up help wanted ads in places where you already know there arent any so youre just antagonizing existing staff for no reason Oh for sure. Like someone mentioned, it's like one position to look good versus actually helping that group's material conditions as a whole. Grapplejack posted:That's the point, by having this position technically, legally 'open' but waiting for Diverse Hires tm you can continue getting government subsidies for several things while you do soft layoffs. Fire one or two people but keep those positions open for impossible applicants and it's a win/win This as well.

I'm sorry, but good literature is a +2,000 year old story about a Greek guy loving his mom and gouging his eyes out or a play by some English guy who's fame/acclaim was manufactured decades after his death. Not that prole stuff like a sweet lady finding true love (or at least true love for now) with a nice orc (Ork?) boy. Edit: seeing as our education systems basically teaches people to hate reading, I'm not going give them poo poo for reading woman/man-on-orc porn. Not that it's *good* quality wise, but looking down on stuff like that is some real bourgeois "we do entertainment the *correct way*" BadOptics has issued a correction as of 23:36 on Jan 23, 2023 |

Ytlaya posted:You can have a sad ending to a romance where the romance itself stays "intact." Like the main couple dying or something. Any sort of "bittersweet" ending. IMO that's just that person's opinion/preference and you see that all the time in other mediums. I'm sure someone got pissed at the end of Romeo and Juliet. I wouldn't really get worked up over it.

tristeham posted:reverse snobbery loving sucks too Oh I agree; I'm just pointing out a lot of classics or "high lit" is really only that way due to various reasons (Victorians getting really into Greco-Roman stuff, Shakespeare would have been forgotten like most of his peers if not for the efforts of his friends/proteges). And again, depending on what school you went to your exposure to that kind of literature probably at best will be decent while at worst you're being made to read some 19th century tome without any context or link to it's relevance to today. I'll personally read some dumb sci-fi poo poo while also going through some professional/historical/classical text.

Zeroisanumber posted:F-16's with the export AIM-9's would chew Russian pilots up pretty bad but I wouldn't like my chances against Russian air defences. I assume you mean AIM-120's because even the newer AIM-9X doesn't have the range to go up against even the older BVR stuff the Russian AF could field (9X is like 22 mi at best vs the old R-27 at ~50 mi). And while they've been pretty bad with combined arms, I've not heard or read any reports anything about Russian fighter jets being pushovers in A2A combat (mostly because of operating in friendly AD zones and using their range and better radars) - even from western sources. F-16's would give the Ukrainians a big boost in capability, but I don't think it would be enough to achieve air domination let alone air superiority.

January 6 Survivor posted:wait what is the context for this? quote:It’s crosscut with a scene where soldiers take down a portrait of the Queen. As president Nkrumah screams about “a socialist Africa for Africans,” the soldiers put up a portrait of Lenin. Edit: lol quote:Elizabeth mostly wants to prove to Jackie Kennedy that the Queen is not irrelevant. There’s some vague stuff about Britain losing its place in the world, and the Queen establishing herself as the head of the Commonwealth. But mostly, it’s because US president John F Kennedy’s hot wife said she had thick ankles. BadOptics has issued a correction as of 23:44 on Feb 10, 2023 |

mila kunis posted:amazing!! looking forward to them capturing podunksk, shitgrad, and other tiny towns with prewar populations of about 12 people by christmas for the mere cost of half their ammunition stocks and thousands of conscripts. While I'm sure this is a continuation of your bit, it has been funny seeing the media and various threads on SA slowly transform the narrative around Bakhmut from this vital bastion that Zelenskyy visited before speaking to Congress into "this is literally the least valuable place on the planet but at least we're bleeding the Russians."
