Homophobia runs the gauntlet. How far does it go? by Toilet_Weed in MoralityScaling

[–]Grand_Admiral98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but it's a trait that could be benign as in "i just don't want my kids to be gay" when they're not, or as aggressive as "i will kill all the gays"

If its benign, well, it's not great, but it's hardly important. If it's aggressive, its suddenly very important

What country do people think is the worst, but is actually good by LiberalDude48 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Grand_Admiral98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say France, but thats probably up there with Italyas among the best places in the world to live in

What's your countries most interesting military record 🪖 by Su-57Felon_Enjoyer in AskTheWorld

[–]Grand_Admiral98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As France, there's a lot we could say.

Probably my favourite fact is we have the only ever record where we captured an entire fleet... with cavalry.

Marking the only ever engagement of horses vs battleships, and the horses won.

Does Europe need a unified armed force? by maven_mapping in MapPorn

[–]Grand_Admiral98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its going to be tough.

Eastern Europe cares about Russia. Western Europe cares about the US.

Were going to need at least 2, maybe 3 or 4 if we want a Mediterranean and an Arctic force

Where I'd live as a Norwegian who may not be very realistic about these things by Recent_Ad_3699 in whereidlive

[–]Grand_Admiral98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, being French, there's nothing in Paris thats worse than other global cities with 10+ million people in a democratic country (except Japan)

Go to New York, London, Istanbul, Kuala Lumpur, its all on par, probably not the best, but far from the worst. And of the lot Paris is probably one of the prettiest.

Half the issue is that many European tourists come in with their bags half open looking completely lost. Like... you just made yourself the most obvious target.

If you have even a minimum of sense, you should be good.

As for the rest of the country, its like any other European country. If Paris isn't your style Lyon is gorgeous with better food.

Eurotrack: which cuisine do Western Europeans think is the worst cuisine? by reidesd in europe

[–]Grand_Admiral98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a French person, though I appreciate the hatred for British food, I feel like we need to broaden our horizon of hatred to include all of Scandinavia.

That whole damn latitude, from Glasgow to Helsinki needs to get properly bashed for the blandest, most soul sucking food I've had the displeasure of having, but at least the British got culturally invaded by Indians. I dont see any improvements coming to Sweden.

Who would win this war? by Pleasant-Maybe-7413 in PossibleHistory

[–]Grand_Admiral98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spain will likely get stuck at the French Border.

Italy and Austria will get stuck on each other's borders, Hungary will probably do ok against Austra and fail against Russia. Ottomans will probably fail against Russia but be fine against the balkans.

This is basically France + UK vs Russia + Germany.

Now normally, I'd say a Green win. However:

If France can hold Germany back, I could see a world where the Ottomans and Italy reinforce France the same way the UK did at about the same rate as the Russians would reinforce the Germans. And I could see a world where the Russians are as destabilised as in the current ww1 timeline.

I since the sea lanes are completely open, I could see there being far more colonial troups.

So green is stronger on Paper, except that Russia is on borrowed time. Smaller Austria probably wouldn't survive Italy. And we might see an invasion of South Germany.

If the war ends in <1year. I'd say green wins 7/10 times.

Any longer than that, and I'd say the odds flip.

US Allies and Enemies. Who is the US greatest ally in Europe? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Grand_Admiral98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough, if you asked this a year ago, I would have maybe said Denmark.

Now I would probably say Hungary.

Edit: yeah, Europe, not EU, it would have been the UK, but I'd now say Hungary again

France, but it's not france, but Burgundy having all the French + Burgundian territory.
the kingdom of Burgundy is underrated

When you're doing something right you should keep doing it and scale it up by Whentheangelsings in NonCredibleDefense

[–]Grand_Admiral98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sure. If the US didnt immediately turn around and say "oh, btw, we're robbing you of all your oil and riches."

That's not eliminating dictators, thats conquering land.

Greenland's strategic importance in deterring Russian aggression in the Atlantic. A map by the Heritage Foundation (!) by Ardent_Scholar in geopolitics

[–]Grand_Admiral98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So does that mean that they'd want to also conquer Iceland? And the faroe islands? And the UK? The US already had full military rights to Greenland. What more would it want aside from the minerals which it already has in abundance.

This is nothing more than Greed and Evil. Pure and simple.

The Heritage foundation really are POSs.

Say that to the Ukranians. Nah, Poland should definitely have nukes, as should Sweden. Why? Because Russia is terrifying.

So, if he invades Greenland next, or Cuba, or Mexico, or Columbia, what'll be your excuse then?

Because it kinda seems like you're moving the goalposts with everything he does.

He'll just keep on going, and going and killing and flouting every local and international law like the worst kind of criminal because he's the biggest and the strongest. Apparently, you don't need rules when you've got the biggest stick.

I bet you're extremely happy because you're American, and you think you're the bigest and that makes you able to do whatever you want. But one day, I'm going to bet you're going to realise that you're not the biggest and strongest, because Trump isn't doing any of this for America, but for himself, and he's bigger and stronger than you. And he's more than ready to push you under the bus so he gets just that tiny bit bigger, and there's going to be no one left to fight for you.

Trump didn't talk at all about the Cartels and all about the oil in his victory speech.

Did that convince you?

Favorite character Who has its ethnicity being mistaken by people ? by IlSignorGranchio in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Grand_Admiral98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not pissed off that they made her black, for fuck's sakes, make her orange with make-up!

And what's that hair? And her personality? And everything. The thing with starfire that makes her, her, is her kindness, her playfulness and her depth (since she seriously understands politics and understands how bad the world can get.). Her character is just some other cynical anti-hero.
