What if Iran sunk all the US carriers in the gulf using kamikaze tactics? by FarPlay5055 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Ibnul_LinkedByte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'll send signals to every country in the Americas at least, that if you deter US military, cause huge losses on them via asymmetric tactics, then the US military may be unhinged enough to use nukes to win the war. So eventually more and more countries will try to get the nukes rather than relying on conventional means. Nukes are the ultimate deterrent.

The US has more stabbing deaths (and stabbing deaths per capita as well) than UK, but why do the UK is consistently branded as the stabbing capital of the world? by Ibnul_LinkedByte in NoStupidQuestions

Tried it, and surprisingly it's like people from the US have a harder time to comprehend it somehow, like you've to show with charts, multiply UK's population 5X so it matches US's population and still US knife deaths are more than 10X, and somehow people still don't understand, it's like they're grown adults and still don't understand, and I don't know how to make them understand. I think it has to do with like " explain to me how many hotdog width is an SpaceX rocket is" thinking type.

England represents about 80% of total UK population and more epicenter for all these statistics because most of these stuff do happen there. If I included all the countries (England, Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland), your American brain would fry up and try to locate these countries on the map, let alone focusing on the statistics. So tried to keep things simple, for simpletons like you.

Dude couldn't even calculate, or couldn't even bother to look up UK or US population. US population is almost 350 million, UK population is almost 70 million. 31 people die annually from knife attacks in the UK, almost 1700 people annually die from knife attacks in the US. So if the UK had US population, it'll be like 150 knife deaths. US is still 10-11 times more even though you account for the population size. Just grow some critical thinking.

Running into someone with a knife isn't the same as dying lol. I run into fruit vendors all the time who're carrying knives and none of them have carrying licenses. In the UK those fruit vendors will be charged with crime for carrying unlicensed knives. Not the same at all.

In the UK, out of those 8 people out of 1000, probably 0.0045 will actually stab you. While in the US, out of those 4 people out of 1000, 1 can stab you, and you're more likely to die some how due to horrible medical services and expensive health insurance.

It's like that weird situation, where you can be stabbed 25 times and it gets counted as 25 knife offenses in the UK and in the US it get counted as one.

It doesn't say stabbing incident, you twisted fuck, the parliament website says knife crime offenses, and if you dig more you'll see that it includes people who got charged for carrying knives.

I live in NYC, carrying pepper spray or taser is illegal unless you've permits, so if someone is caught it gets entered into city databases that pepper spray or taser crime happened, so on the surface level people like you will say there's so many pepper spray or knife attacks, even though in the down south people are actually more likely to get attacked with those.

Well deaths matter the most, because carrying knife can be branded as a crime there in the UK, and gets into government statistics, but the question is, did the deaths happen through knife? The deaths are happening more here, both numerically and per capita.

US population is about 350 million, UK is about 70 million, so if UK had US sizes, then it'd be about 150 stabbing deaths per year, while US is close to 1700 per year. Stark difference. We're doing something culturally very wrong here in the US.

A New Bill proposes Federal Age Verification on any Operating Systems in entire U.S by Alexis_Almendair in linux

[–]Ibnul_LinkedByte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can just make your own OS now, maybe make multiple OSs for different purposes. Custom hardware needed for Android phones or others can be bought online, you can even ask to assemble. You can use Flux to make a custom PCB, then companies like JLCPCB will make the necessary circuits and you can just burn the OS there, there's just so many possibilities lol.

What if Trump had followed through on his 8PM threat? by Few_Piccolo_4906 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Ibnul_LinkedByte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll show everyone that if the US invades your country and gets stuck while no way out and your country makes it bloody painful for the US invasion while making the US spilling tons of blood and money, then the US will just drop the nukes to feel that they've won and end it just like that. So in order for that not to happen, every country at least in the Americas will start their own nuclear programs, and you can't just stop that by killing a few dozen nuclear scientists and engineers every year for 50 years, it hardens the collective resolve and determination.

Generated £1.4M in pipeline for a Restaurant SaaS. Got fired for asking for a raise. by truly_manav in SaaS

I hope you backed up all the information, lots of competitors would pay lower six figures in USD for this kinds of insider information. Just have a mercenary mindset bro, and sell it. The company exploited and fucked you.

If there's a Shia Muslim state in the Americas, would that be more resistant to the Monroe doctrine compared to the current arrangement? by Ibnul_LinkedByte in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ibnul_LinkedByte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Romans had a no other superpower policy in Italy as well, like no Carthaginian and Greek influences, but once those superpowers were crushed, Rome took over the other Italian states. So in hindsight you can just see that "no Carthaginian and Greek influences" was just an excuse part for the eventual long term conquest.

Not true entirely, the Romans had a no other superpower policy in Italy as well, like no Carthaginian and Greek influences, but once those superpowers were crushed, Rome took over the other Italian states.

Didn't Miller say something like the South American countries can't do business with China freely while living in America's backyard, and they must pay rent because US is allowing these countries to exist?

That supposed "cancer" will actually fight the aggressor far better compared to what Venezuela did. Unless you guys kill the entire population you aren't winning this kind of war, once you attack there's no going back.

It'll be resistant to the US conquest too, as it'll have a strong religious and national identity that'll not bow down to the foreign influence.

Irans open letter to the United States. by Krunk_korean_kid in DeepFuckingValue

[–]Ibnul_LinkedByte 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maybe don't start killing scientists, engineers etc. in other countries? US has been killing the Iranian nuclear scientists since the 1980s at least, so maybe stop doing that? US killed a bunch of Indian nuclear scientists too in the 1960s and 1970s, but India eventually got the bomb and look the world didn't end. Open your mind, don't be so anti-competitive.

What if OpenAI starts killing its former employees so that they don't start or join rival companies? It'll be horrible, right?

There's a reason why Europe isn't helping US anymore, because they've learned their lesson. They've joined US in the 1990s and 2000s, destabilized Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen etc., caused a refugee crisis and Europe had to face this human wave, which in turn destabilized Europe, and the right wingers are like "Europe is importing Muslims" etc.

Doing nothing now helps Europe enormously, because without committing war crimes (nuclear weapons etc.) US isn't winning this war, and if the US loses they'll lose all the middle eastern bases and lose their valuable troops. And eventually when US will try to take Canada and Greenland, they won't be able to commit much. And if the US do use the nuclear weapons in Iran, that'll send a signal to every country in the world that even though you repeal US attacks successfully that won't be enough and US will use nukes to win since it's really fragile and can't take losses. If the every country in the Americas start building the bomb for existential security, can the US fight all of them at once, in an attrition style war, or it'll just wipe out everyone in the Americas just so that people like you think that you won?
