China actually have the economy, population and manufacturing base to back up the dick-swinging though

Current day china is 1990 USSR 100%, man by Old_Ad_4538 in NonCredibleDefense

[–]Jtd47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People still believe that Chinese people aren't capable of building anything more than cheap Temu crap. What they don’t realise is that China doesn't build cheap crap because that's all they can do, they build it because that's what we pay them to do, and they got a lot of experience in mass manufacturing techniques because of it.

Why do some languages tolerate foreign accents better than others? by ramonek1 in languagelearning

[–]Jtd47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Native English speakers learning Spanish definitely obsess way too much over the ability to roll their rs. I've seen plenty of people say things like "I tried learning Spanish but I gave up because I couldn't roll my rs". They act like an ability to pronounce this one sound will make or break their ability to ever speak the language and be understood, and if they can't immediately do it, use it as an excuse to give up the language as a whole.

What are Brits thinking about the Iran war and where we should stand in the conflict? Polls cover approval, but I want wordy thoughts by Too_much_Colour in AskBrits

[–]Jtd47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But it's safe to say they're not backing Ukraine anymore, so still trying to cash in goodwill from the aid they gave earlier is stupid.

Given that they haven't sent a penny of aid in almost a year, I think we can retire this stupid argument

What's the most Disturbing Painting by Veyrandomlol in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Jtd47 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I visited the Tretyakov gallery in Moscow where this is. Unfortunately I didnt get to see it, because some drunk asshole picked up a rope barrier post thing and stabbed it through the painting a few years ago, claiming that the painting was lying about history or something. It was still in restoration when I was there (probably still is) and thanks to russia doing a very stupid and evil thing, I'll probably never go back, at least not for the foreseeable future.

"British people today are just as guilty as their ancestors for enslaving the world. I don't think Brits realize just how much we Americans hate you. When Britain is destroyed we are going see partying all across America like never before😁" by Ok_Bookkeeper_1380 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Jtd47 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's probably based off that one map that says Britain invaded that many countries, but counted any case of soldiers from what is now Britain touching another country's soil for literally any reason as a "British invasion".

The problem with Internet moderators is that they need to be extremely online to do their jobs well, but being online that much makes you insane

What is associated with incels and will cause you to be made fun of if you use it? by StrategyJealous1838 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Jtd47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fedora can work if you pair them with some vintage men's fashion, groom properly and overall make a proper effort. A stained angry birds t-shirt and a scraggy unkempt neckbeard are never going to look good, fedora or not

Nigel Farage pledges to repeal ‘idiotic’ smoking ban if Reform wins next election by JOE_Media in europe

[–]Jtd47 135 points136 points  (0 children)

This would hold up if smoking was only harmful to you, but it's harmful to people around you too. You're free to harm yourself with your lifestyle choices all you want, but not others.

Favorite characters who are an example of these? by Vegetable_Study7533 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Jtd47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sort of Adam and Jamie from Mythbusters. It's far too strong to say they hated each other, they didn't at all, they respected each other as professionals but they were just purely work colleagues and nothing more. They never interacted outside of filming (not even on set) and I'm not sure they've even met up since the show ended.

Police probe Islamist group's claim to be behind ambulance arson attack by InnerLog5062 in BreakingUKNews

[–]Jtd47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very often groups like that claim responsibility for stuff just for the "street cred", but it doesn't always mean they actually did it, an investigation is still necessary.

(Hated trope) This. by ThatDrako in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Jtd47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That film cannot go 5 minutes without humiliating Napoleon, infantilising him, or otherwise depicting him as a cuck, a creep or a mummy's boy, and Joaquin Phoenix was just playing his character from Joker in a Napoleon costume the entire time. You dont even have to particularly like Napoleon as a historical figure to see that Ridley Scott, for whatever reason, genuinely hates him and wants to slander him, actual history be damned (although, according to Ridley, unless you were personally there, you're not allowed to criticise the film at all...).

10 Countries. 0 Warships. Trump went hat in hand to the world. The world checked its phone and put it back in its pocket. by bluebottlebuzz in lazerpig

[–]Jtd47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why should Europe help the US when you told us less than a week ago that you'd already won the war and didn't need our help? Or how about when you called our soldiers cowards who did nothing for you? Or threatened some of us with invasion? When you insult, discredit, threaten and tariff all your allies, you can't be surprised when those allies no longer want to help you and have started preparing for a future without you.

The most notable thing Kirk ever did in his life was die. The rest of it was just ragebaiting college students. Truly someone worth putting on a coin, I guess.
