I get why it's done from a narrative point of view, but some obnoxious pedantic voice in my head never stops wondering why people would write down obscure lore notes in the middle of a disaster or when they're about to die. It makes sense for some organisation's agents to document their discoveries and leave (incremental) reports on-site in case they don't make it back for a full report, but some random raider in FO4 noting down how pissed he is with his boss?
Of course, I'm a sucker for lore, so I'll take it, particularly when it's in audio log form during exploration sections so I can keep exploring and listen instead of stopping to read.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but personally, I've run out of fucks to give about the whole debate. I have an opinion, sure, but I don't want to throw it into the sewage pool that is the discussion in this comment section.
Yeah, I know, but this one seems more vicious to me somehow.
My mistake is that I keep thinking the best of people, but after having been a cynic misanthropist for long enough, I'd prefer the regular disappointment over permanent bitterness.
What the fuck is this comment section even? Is vape vs cig the new Star Trek vs Star Wars, where fans of either side congregate to tear into each other with enough vitriol to make both vape and cig look healthy in comparison?
WarThunder is ripe with military nerds that love being right about their favourite tank/plane/whatever. Sometimes, these nerds have access to official documents proving that they're right. And sometimes these nerds go on to post classified military intel for the sake of being right.
I hope the government put services in place to help rehabilitate and provide those children with the mental heath and support they’ll need.
Why would it? Wait for them to turn criminal out of desperation and you've got a reason to enslave them throw them into prison where you can legally force them to work
With this single "conversation" they undermined every security deal they had anywhere in the world.
I disagree. If it was a single conversation the world would be shocked but they could still cover it up. Politicians say dumb shit and walk it back all the time.
It's the fact that his first term was already such a blundering mess in terms of diplomacy, combined with the fact that he somehow got re-elected, the accelerating bullshit ever since and now finally this mess. If they hadn't been chipping away at any international goodwill so thoroughly, the response would be closer to "I can't believe a US president would say that" rather than "the US as a whole is no longer reliable".
I went back to find this post just to tell you that "my personality is the color Florida" has me cackling for several minutes now. I hope your day is as great as your jokes.
And yet there are plenty of histories today that challenge the claims of the past's winners. A part of studying historical literature is discerning and accounting for the bias of the authors and correlating it with other sources. A part of studying history in turn is matching up what you find in literature with what archaeology finds.
History isn't done once the event has happened. Even if the oligarchs win this war, it's unlikely they'll be the ones to build the Actually Really Eternal Empire (Forever This Time) that manages to suppress all study of history ever.
The winner may write history, but they're not the only ones to ever read it.
The world will continue to exist and some portion of mankind probably will survive too. At some point, historians will dissect the current crisis – whatever the outcome – with the same scrutiny as today's historians examine other past events.
And I hope they won't face the same issues as today's historians, who have to watch as their departments are cut down one by one while their cries of alarm go unheard.
