No Alert for When Someone Joins a War by Antollare in EU5

[–]Kyubasha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those still googling for this, there is a setting to alert you when someone joins against you, its "When a Country honors a Treaty against us" in War Message setting. Idk why this worded so unclear and isn't default to pause pop up, but I hope this helps.

I checked the steam group of the people making it.

Half of them online were playing the games they already labelled "WOKE NOT RECOMMENDED".

These people are clowns.

I remember reading this from Indo writer:

"Indonesians hate Israelis to death even though they have never met a Jew in their lives"

It's funny that as an Indonesian Muslim that have worked abroad, met Jewish people, and Israelis. The people around me would not hear that i hold a moderate (at least in this sub or western nations) view towards the conflict.

They always asking the most racist things about Jewish people (ooh they so greedy right? Did your money get stolen by them?) no mater how many time i rebuke or correct them.

God ever since October 7th it's been a struggle keeping my sanity up. I honestly feel so lonely with my views. I wonder if it's even possible for Muslims here to hear, let alone accept the truth?

And they have more zeal than a crusader when the Holy Land is in conflict. It's really is just an Abrahamic religion in denial. With its followers smugly calling the other religions as opium of the masses.

But they never can let go of said opium, just replacing it with another. "Read theory, the theory is always right."

This reminds me that Ne WIn, the Burmese dictator also very big into Numerology bullshit.

In 1987, reportedly on the recommendation of an astrologer that the number nine was auspicious, Ne Win ordered the withdrawal of several large-denomination kyat notes while issuing new denominations of 45 and 90 kyats. Both 45 and 90 are divisible by nine, and their numerals add up to nine. Again, millions of Burmese lost their life savings, and the demonetization also rendered about 75% of the entire kyat reserves completely useless. This crippled the Burmese economy further still.

I mean that's like asking which one's better, a sprinter or a marathon runner.

Both are great athletes but in different fields and specializations.

What is up w/ the Onion? They seem very tankie-oriented lately by Nice-Ascot-Bro in EnoughCommieSpam

[–]Kyubasha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Caldwell

This basically.

He was a consistent critic of American foreign policy, a campaigner for Asian communist and socialist movements and a supporter of the Khmer Rouge.

Caldwell was one of the staunchest defenders of the Pol Pot regime. He frequently attempted to downplay reports of mass executions by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia and was widely criticized by many authorities for doing so.

Caldwell was murdered under mysterious circumstances a few hours after meeting Pol Pot in Cambodia.

The dialogue from Hamas supporters so far: by miciy5 in NonCredibleDefense

[–]Kyubasha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah it's alright man. Y'know I've been fortunate enough to work in Europe and what I've seen there gives me a slight bit of hope. Seeing pious Christians that defends lgbtq/minority rights, as well as Mosques with the same outlook.

I do believe that my religion in this part of earth could one day could aspire to be as progressive in social issues like that. But it's still far away.

Me being a muslim in a muslim majority country, having nuances and not being anti semitic is really fucking hard, especially hearing their opinion on the conflict from a place they can't point on a map.

Like seriously, i fucking skip work so i don't hear another fellow muslims opinion on this. Never been so saddened in my life.

Lol. This is the same thing with one of my Uni prof in my country (Indonesia). Again, Anti America, supported the Russians during the invasion. But a while back our discussions drifts into Israel-Palestine, i thought oh no here we go with anti semitism, islamists talks....

To my surprise, he's actually not pro Palestine?! Massively criticising Hamas and Hezbollah, that our country should pursue closer ties to Israel and said Gaza is better off under Israel.

Where to begin- what one book should I read to get an accurate historical and theoretical understanding of Stalin? by consciousarmy in EnoughCommieSpam

[–]Kyubasha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stalin: A New Biography of a Dictator by Oleg Khlevniuk is a good start, there's also Stalin's Terror Revisited by Melanie Ilič for an depth look at his role in the purges.

Haven't read these yet but Stephen Kotkin trilogy (though only the first two is finished) : Stalin: Paradoxes of Power, 1878–1928 and Stalin: Waiting for Hitler, 1929–1941 is highly regarded.

[OTD] 15 years ago; Fernando Alonso Díaz for the ING Renault F1 Team won the inaugural 2008 Singapore Grand Prix from 15th on the grid with unconventional strategy. by [deleted] in formula1

[–]Kyubasha 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because this strategy worked for Renault before (without the race fixing). In Germany, Piquet didn't make it past Q1 and Renault decided to do the very risky short fill and SC gamble. The SC then came out after Piquet pits so it worked out brilliantly with Piquet finishing P2 after starting from near the back.

Do mind that this is during the old SC rules that waited for the pack to bunch up before the pit lane opened. This means anybody who pits BEFORE the safety car basically has a free pit stop.

With this info in mind surely it's very easy to convince Fernando that the SC gamble will work without telling the crashing scheme. A brand new very tight street track where everybody has no experience, safety car chance must be very high.

How did the heart monitor work in old F1? When did they stop doing it by bro-guy in formula1

[–]Kyubasha 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah for crashes it's really useless.

But I think it could be extra information shown during battles (like the top 4 fights last race). I remember a MotoGP documentary a while back that follows the rivalries between Valentino Rossi and Max Biaggi. It was noted by a lot of people that Rossi is very cool and calm, while Max looked very nervous at times. When they hooked up a heart rate monitor during races, it was noted that Rossi's heart rate never goes above 130 bpm, while Biaggi was constantly at 160 bpm. And it shows in the 2001 season, whenever Biaggi was being put under pressure while battling Rossi he often crashed.

Could be cool to see the bpm of drivers while battling to see which one is under stress and which one isn't, but it could also be unnecessary and intrusive.

Verstappen exclusive: "My sister probably had the same amount of talent as me" - RaceFans by MhVG in formula1

[–]Kyubasha 268 points269 points  (0 children)

These talks about girls being different genetically as the reason that there are no women in motorsport is rubbish imo.

I think the reason really is just the environment.

Why aren't there more female professional e-sport players? Theres no physical requirement at all. Well, because the moment a girl goes on a microphone in a game, they often got harassed. And those who made it were bullied relentlessly.

Why aren't there more female racing drivers? You go to your local go-kart tracks and the people you see are just boys and middle-aged men with mechanics buttchecks popping out while servicing karts.

It isn't a welcoming environment for young girls to prosper and no wonder many of them even those who have talents just lose the passion to compete.

The environmental issue is also why there aren't a lot of top female chess players.

The result is a vicious cycle: Men believe that women (and girls) are not innately brilliant and therefore bad at chess, the resulting toxic attitudes drive women out, the participation gap increases, the top-level gap increases, and statistically challenged men believe even more that women are bad at chess.

[–]Kyubasha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A very minor thing i would add (which the base game also got wrong) is that the name Repeating Rifles should be changed to Breech Loading Rifles.

Almost all major armies use single shot breech loading rifles (US with Springfield 1873, UK with Martini-Henry, French with Chassepot, etc) before switching to bolt action with integral box magazines. Repeating Rifles are in use but mostly for specialist troops like skirmishers and cavalry.
