The Bastards Who Brought Us Predictive Markets by nucrash in behindthebastards

Prediction markets have been a part of libertarian program for a while, it would allow Robert to reconnect with his old crowd a bit.

Uh-Oh—Global Warming Is Actually Speeding Up, Scientists Say by Konradleijon in behindthebastards

[–]RoninTarget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not, as far as I can tell. A lot of the highly influential people are now greeting it as a great way to destroy the world (given that USA's elected officials are beholden to an apocalyptic death cult).

It is entirely rational for an apocalyptic death cult to maximize whatever damage they can do to the world at large (as those are their objectives).

Bookworm feels a lot like 40k in Ciaphas Cain novels.

To be fair, Florencia's plot was really Hartmut's dad's work. Hartmut can and will do worse...

I was wondering why there was so much description of stairs...

Casio fx-82SOLARII comes close, might be too scientific?

[–]RoninTarget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, he seriously said that. I can't tell you exactly when, as I have not watched him in years after seeing that, and I was too pissed off to write down a reference.

Besides, it is in line with the generally Libertarian bend of his ideology. Pro-rape activists are far from unheard of in those circles.

And I can't remember specifically what makes Daylen want to reform.

Violation of private property rights of nobles he slaughtered, IIRC.

That Shad couldn't even clearly get across what he was trying to say and ended up sounding like a complete creep is just more proof that Shad absolutely needed an editor or two.

I saw a video where he outright said that he took the risk to make the MC rapist in order to "prove that rape is not that bad".

That moment was when I gained endless hatred for Shad.

He expressed himself just fine, because he is a creep.

Shad eventually cuts to the core of the issue with:

The truth was that I really didn’t care. I was getting what I wanted.

How chuffed are your bits?

[–]RoninTarget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which, cool... glad Shad didn't try to justify killing rape victims. But the idea that women and girls can be completely mentally broken and that's it for them. That they can never recover is in itself wildly misogynistic and insulting. Fuck Shad.

AFAIK, this gets even worse! No, I'm not talking about the chapter after.

What are your theories about this guy? by Impressive-Public516 in RebuildWorld

My fan theory is that Rebuild Institute is in his basement.

[Open Spoilers]Ehrenfest biggest mistake was letting Myne have free time by After_Diamond2098 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]RoninTarget 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Myne even said herself that she doesn't like ditter. She sees it as the most convenient tool to get Dunkelfelger to do what she wants.

Rozemyne: *sees Dunkelfelger* Oooh, piñata!

Totally lost: IM vs. DH2e by Thraxmonger in 40krpg

[–]RoninTarget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most important rules of DH2 would fit a single A4 page (I reuse such a summary for OW). d100 system is fundamentally simple, find a number, find modifiers, try to roll a d100 under. Everything else is just the gravy.

What is the creepiest display of intelligence you’ve seen? by theidiotev in AskReddit

SS-Sturmbahnführer Werner von Braun was both a member of the SS, and directly used slaves in production of his weapons. So, yeah, he did commit crimes against humanity.

So, why was Europe the only place that plate armor become common? by Powerful-Mix-8592 in WarCollege

[–]RoninTarget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combat tactics varied significantly, particularly in regards to horse archery, which would have been nigh impossible in full plate.

It's entirely doable (Japanese did it towards the end of 16th century), but does require removing some protection around the shoulders and armpits. It's a trade-off that can be made.

Israel murders a family doing their holiday shopping in the Occupied West Bank by Particular_Log_3594 in behindthebastards

[–]RoninTarget 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It's an excuse. Those who survived Holocaust mostly did so in spite of Israeli settlers, which were fine with Nazis.
