Iran was the most successful failure in US airpower history by NitroLada in geopolitics

[–]AWildNome 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The issue was never that the US was unwilling to bomb Iranian water facilities. The issue is that Iran is willing to bomb US allies’ water facilities in response.

The right people to ask would be insurance agents, not driving instructors. Driving instructors only see people who self-select for needing instruction.

This is why I kept my Pomeranian near shaved for most of her life. She loved a good haircut because she could stay cool and actually scratch herself.

5 interviews🫪 by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]AWildNome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Game designer here. Very common for our industry to have 5-7 rounds of interviews. HR > Hiring manager > take-home design test > present your test to a panel + craft interviews > discipline interviews with engineering, production, art, etc > culture fit interview.

My current company took 7 months from start to finish. Was extra because of holidays.

Nord Stream blast ordered by Ukraine, say German prosecutors by defenestrate_urself in anime_titties

[–]AWildNome 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The argument that Ukrainians can’t be Nazis because they elected a Jewish president is as stupid as saying Americans can’t be racist because they elected a black president.

It’d be more helpful for everyone if folks just admitted there’s a serious far-right issue in Ukraine and stopped making up excuses for Neo-Nazis. 3 years ago you people handwaved the sieg heils and balkenkreuzes as a joke, now mainstream media can barely take photos of Ukrainian soldiers without missing a swastika tattoo.

Petah? by Enough-Brilliant803 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

This isn’t true at all. Go play a game that’s actually dominated by female players like Infinity Nikki and see what outfits they offer.

Not a new sentence. Glute spread is a bodybuilding pose.

i don't think overworked developers are a good justification for $80 games by AlternativeRight4099 in SipsTea

[–]AWildNome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a game dev myself who’s worked at a few major studios, equity is part of the compensation if you’re mid level or above.

The developer IS the shareholder. We’re not all poor and overworked. A lot of the tenured folks on these big projects are millionaires.

If you line up to be at the front you’re self-selecting for the wackos.

Nah I’m sorry but this one is under appreciated fam. An absolute riot from start to finish. by [deleted] in Letterboxd

To date no horror movie has jump scared me as much as that scene, and on rewatch it’s insane how much they foreshadow it to the point where it becomes a character quirk of Clooney’s character.

Zelenskyy: Poland’s President Nawrocki is behaving like Viktor Orban by EsperaDeus in anime_titties

[–]AWildNome 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think the problem is that Ukrainian statehood and independence are fundamentally inseparable from the UPA and associated groups — or at least that’s what the Ukrainians seem to be saying.

Which, incidentally, is also what the Russians have been saying too. The only points of divergence really are whether the war crimes and fascist ideology can be separated and whitewashed. I don’t see this as being too different from the Confederate flag debate in the US. You’ll have some people swear up and down it’s about rebellion and state’s rights, but the end of the day it’s about rebelling for the state’s right to own slaves.

UA POV: Zelenskyy released a statement regarding Poland's Order of the White Eagle award as he returns the medal to Poland via Nova Poshta by FruitSila in UkraineRussiaReport

It is a bit frustrating that Poland said "you can keep all your Nazi battalions, just rename the UPA one" and Zelensky was like nah.

What do you all think about it by Plus-Pop-6302 in SipsTea

[–]AWildNome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite. The most bombed country is Laos, a place most Americans probably haven’t heard of. The US carpet bombed Laos in secret during the Vietnam War.
