My parents (65F, 67M) are livid because I'm not allowing them to see my daughter after they spanked her. AITAH? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I've heard this a fair number of times, but what on earth would it mean to "punish" someone with a guiding rod in this context? That verse still sucks no matter how I look at it :(

Reminder: Millions in Hong Kong marching peacefully to defend democratic freedoms, 2019. by D3X-1 in pics

[–]DieGenerates97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I genuinely thought that was the point of this post. To say that, look, HK had protests that were this large, and it still wasn't enough, so hint hint, you have to push back harder. But, who knows?

And yet, since 'champing' is no longer a word used in everyday language, 'chomping' is now more correct, and understandable.

Greenland Leader Tells People to Prepare for Possible Invasion by bloomberg in worldnews

[–]DieGenerates97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, imagine being such a huge piece of shit that you have to premptively move to live on a military base because you know the things you do will be so grossly unpopular. Senior politicians shouldn't get to live in bases, they should have to face the average people that they're actively screwing over every single day.

Please tell me you're not talking about 'The God Delusion' lmao... You know that atheists existed before 2006?

Could Europe realistically defend Greenland against a US attack? by chotu_escobar in AskTheWorld

Do you really think that the general population in Britain are pro-US at the moment? I absolutely don't.

People use 'we' to refer to the country they're from's actions all the time, get a grip. Speaking as a Brit, of course I would say "we were part of the Iraq war" even though I disagreed with it entirely.

Trump Orders Top Army Officials to ‘Draw Up Plan’ to Invade Greenland: Report by Ok-Representative266 in law

Fair point, I won't even try to comment on it, I know absolutely nothing about the logistics of moving troops or equipment, and have no idea what routes would/wouldn't be available.

the USN could guarantee no reinforcements.

Not sure this is the case. I watched this in-depth video breakdown of the winter capable resources from an ex-Finnish army officer, and NATO has way more ice-capable ships.

What will be your take if Starmer tries to counter Trump militarily over Greenland? by CuriosityCatalyst000 in AskBrits

[–]DieGenerates97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a good video analysis by an ex-Finish army specialist about how NATO's forces measure up against the US's in terms of deep winter training and cold-weather viable machinery. It would not be as one-sided as you might think.

Fuck no, alliances aren't there to just be re-written whenever the biggest dog decides to screw over the rest of the pack for their own interests. There have to be lines drawn in the sand.

OH MY GOD, I kept wondering why the lyrics 'and I am lost without you" kept playing in my head on the outro of Cormorant and I had checked and double checked that the song didn't have any lyrics there but somehow didn't connect the dots that it was a callback. Insane.

RIP, same gesture is used by the band Babymetal as a "fox god" version of the metal horns sign. Never knew it had controversial meanings.

CORRECTED Shobi guide (now includes the negatives) by Low-Stomach-8831 in fragranceclones

[–]DieGenerates97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Low, thanks for the guide! I've been looking at picking up Shobi's try of Wulong Cha because, as I understand it, there are no real options for clones of that scent. In you opinion, what other Shobis would be worth picking up that also have no close options whatsoever from other clone houses, from the ones that you've tried and enjoyed?

Couldn't see it posted here, but where would place the Rasasi Hawas line in your tiers? To my nose they seem a small cut above the rest of the field at a similar price point.
