  • HOI4 mapmakers are always dumb arseholes but this guy took it to a whole new level. But that's not what got me. What got me was the fact that his new "Persia" entirely misses the province and region of Fars, Persis in greek, i.e. the namesake of the english name "Persia".

  • 2 months is a bit of a delay lol, thanks for the reply.

    MIUI is really limited in customisation. It's good enough in a lot of areas but really not great. It's got gestures but I'm nlt really a fan of that so I don't know how good it is.

    Nova sounds absolutely loony and I'm definitely trying it if I root!

    Do you not use revanced?

  • Fascists are often cowards, I'm not saying they wouldn;t callously kill people during their retreat, rather that atrocities take planning and coordination, ergo time, time they wouldn't have if they wanted to flee and they would have,

    If your logic held up there'd be little stopping them from committing these light-speed atrocoties between the second bomb and the surrender.

  • Not much since there'd be quite few of them. Japan would be on the retreat at that point and would have very limited capacity to carry out further atrocities.

    What would you tell people that lost their families in the Korean war to support the atomic bombs, since Japan surrendering to the US instead of the USSR all but guaranteed that war?

  • ... said Yaqiu Wang, China researcher at Human Rights Watch.

    Great source.

    Elsewhere in China, some Africans reported police and local officials had harassed them, and hospitals and restaurants turned them away.

    Linked source is a guardian article talking about an irish person. Fuck isn't that brilliant, HRW knows you illiterate morons won't check. Not that ir'd much matter, there isn't a single direct source on China force testing Africans or anything else. Just these orgs said this, diplomatic whatever that.

  • Cards on the table, I think chauvinism is stupid. I think someone in a position to recognise their chauvinism and renounce it, but refuse to, have to be stupid. I don't believe that the average person is inherently stupid, nor that idealism is an approach more in-line with human nature than materialism.

    That's all conjecture, admittedly, I'm basing this on the fact that huge swathes of a bunch of countries were taught and embraced materialism. This doesn't make them correct in every issue or anything, but the comprehension that thing aren't the way they are because they were meant to be, rather that they're in a flux, a state of constant change, is the most crucial step in this. From this conjecture, which I can't show to be true yet believe anyway, it follows that people of priviledge aren't making a choice at all, they're using the only tool they've got to come to a piss poor conclusion.

    I also believe that by computing a sufficient number of schrödinger's equations constantly we could predict literally anything, but that might just mean my brain's a bit mush.

  • I actually don't agree with this approach. I'm not in favour of calling people stupid for buying into propoganda, but is saying that they choose to buy it/take it at face value respecting their intelligence?

    Saying they could break out if they wanted to is, and this is just my opinion, not intending to be insulting, an idealist approach. It's like saying fat people could lose weight if they just wanted to, or procrastinators could work if they simply cared to. I would go so far as to say that it's similar (though obviously not equivalent) to saying neurodivergent people can act like "normal" people if they really tried.

    On the other hand I'm definitely not saying barraging people with analyses or factoids will bring them to our side. I take the scumbag centrist opinion here and say it's both: For people unreceptive to our message, what we can hope is that a small part of what we said might stick, so that every time they're faced with a contradiction inherent in capitalism, there's a change that seed of an idea we planted might take root.

  • Same energy as old people berating nurses and doctors on the job doing anything other than running around. As it stands this conflict is part of their life, and to the extent that they aren't being chauvinistic what they do with their time is none of our business.

  • Before I looked a bit into it I didn't even know launchers could be installed without rooting.

    Are there features that you want/need that the stock launcher doesn't have or are you writing it off because of the restriction?

  • As the news of the counteroffensive's failure started pouring in, there was some idiot, I want to say Pistorius but probably not him, saying the tanks weren't german, since they weren't operated in Germany by germans, and that they were instead Ukrainian.

  • I knew it was a paternal name but didn't have that context, thank you very much.

    Is my point actually correct? Would people say only the first letter of the otchestvo the same way americans do for their middle names? I haven't encountered that and assumed not, but your input would be more valuable.

  • Illiterate, stupid, uninquiring idiots.

    I'd never seen western entertainment and media summed up so perfectly.

    Also when I watched it first I wasn't a fan of the "Vladimir I. Lenin" scene, but it gets more grating every time I see it. He wasn't an idiot american with a pointless letter for a middle name, and looking at the correspondences from the time people called him Vladimir Ilyich too.
