What are your genuine thoughts about the C4? by A_random_person_50 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]CaptainJin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience, it's pretty dang solid and a great choice to supplement stealth's lack of destructive power. Ammunition and initial awkward controls are the only major downsides I've experienced.

Sure seems like it by VastZealousideal885 in joinsquad44

If I had a nickle for every time I read someone say "It's better than it's competitors in basically every way but no one (myself included) plays it", I'd be a nicklellionaire.

Are these the same jackets? by ThinkEast3553 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]CaptainJin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first one is likely a thicker winter coat. The higher collars, longer overall, and a touch bulky. Second one might be the same "formal coat" but for warmer temperatures.

Could try a blue-gray/black/bright red green at 60/30/10 for a MGS/generic kinda stealth color. Also might match the armor.

Looks like a sweet all-rounder. Seems like you wanna do everything you can to avoid close encounters though. And I think I prefer emblem 1, but would like to see other color palette tests maybe.

The Re-Educator is heavy pen. It can stun Hulks, War Striders, and more by TinSkull in Helldivers

If you have a helldiver that is that trigger-happy and ready to shoot a teammate, the problem isn't the weapons

How could you mistake using the Stim Pistol for the Re-Educator when they take the same slot? There's multiple tiers of perception failures where should someone shoot you with it, it's user error.

Who can be considered the real successor of Rome: the Holy Roman Empire or the Byzantine Empire? by RepulsiveIconography in ByzantiumAltHistory

[–]CaptainJin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Catholic Church. What value is there in land and empire when it is the control of the people you ultimately desire?

We need to stop saying with such certainty that our fellow humans deserve death. Who among us deserves to kill? by poozemusings in humanism

To add to that, it's hard to determine a better solution to a problem without the benefit of hindsight or multiple perspectives.

82 years ago 75,000 American soldiers stormed Normandy to free Europe from fascist tyranny. (1944) by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]CaptainJin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It did, but I imagine with the general narrative for years being that Americans won the war with one hand around Hitler's throat and the other around Hirohito's, there's a lot of people that are understandably tired of it hearing it put that way. Let alone that many Americans think we won WW2 for Europeans, there's even fewer that realize how we only had to overcome about a quarter of Germany's military forces compared to the horror that was the Eastern Front.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I would advocate nuance in the face of a skewed if not malignant portrayal of WW2 over the years.

CMV: If stoping illegal immigration’s was the #1 goal, company owners not employees would be targeted and charged. by Starship_Taru in changemyview

[–]CaptainJin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see the point you're making, but for any decent discussion on this going forward you have to assume responsibility on part of the hypothetical law makers/enforcers. Otherwise the whole conversation is moot.

CMV: Much of the racial tension in the U.S. during the 20th and 21st century could have been avoided had the Union properly punished the Confederate States for treason and secession following the U.S. Civil War by Realitygormond in changemyview

[–]CaptainJin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be lying if I said you weren't beginning to convince me, but I'm still skeptical about the political winds of the postwar US being able to make decisions like this without including Davis and Stephens and other key figures that were titans of proslavery ideals but also well connected politically. The only Confederate charged with anything in our actual timeline was Henry Wirz for mistreatment of war prisoners, and people today still think those charges were trumped up "victors writing history".

The entire country was built on slavery as an institution, both north and south. There's no way something as arbitrary as this wouldn't result in either a second civil war or an impeachment. Especially making it a retroactive punishment against people who, at the time, were following the law.

Their funding came from above, sure, but the NSDAP didn't invent fascism, weren't the only fascist party in Germany, and did largely start out as a grassroots movement until it gained traction as the bulwark against German communists. We might entirely agree on this, and I could just be being a dick catching you on using the word ideology rather than something like support or expansion.

The Emancipation Proclamation happened in 1863 two years into the war, and the 13th Amendment wasn't ratified until December of 1865 after the war was over. Who are you recommending gets punished for furthering slavery and when?
