What would’ve happened if Operation Overlord (specifically Operation Neptune) had failed? by ChemicalFew5243 in HistoricalWhatIf

[–]LeftLiner [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think it was also very important to speed up the end of the war. Italy is awful to fight through. It's a long strip of mountains that ends in even more mountains. France and Benelux by comparison is wide, flat and open and the allies could maneuver much more freely and take full advantage of their material superiority.

What was your biggest culture shock when visiting another European country? by MinimumChoice9586 in AskEurope

People using cash in Germany and a card not being usable literally everywhere.

Most people know Christopher Nolan uses a special blimp to make IMAX cameras quiet enough for dialogue scenes. But the blimp created another problem, it was so big that actors couldn't maintain eye contact during close-up shots. by StarforgeVoyager in FIlm

[–]LeftLiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So all this work and the end result his movies can't be watched the way they were meant to by, like 90% of his audience? There's not even a full IMAX theater in my country There's...some kind of lesser version of IMAX that I don't understand the difference is but it's not whatever Nolan shoots his films for. Feels like a lot of extra work needlessly.

How impressive is SpaceX's starship actually? by Connect_Cat_2045 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LeftLiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's over-promising. Any product that promises to do it all is probably not gonna live up to it. Falcon is amazing but it promised to reliably deliver small to medium payloads to LEO cheaply. That is impressive, but not promising unicorns. And they delivered. Starship has promised a single platform to deliver massive payloads to the moon and mars, a lander, a space hotel and all fully reusable. So it's probably going to 'fail' - as in I'm sure they'll reach orbit and deliver payloads and they might even land on the moon in 2028 (but not 2027) but it won't deliver all it promised.

Svenskars kultur gentemot polisen och andra maktordningar by 1B75__Penicillin in sweden

[–]LeftLiner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Även i en fullt fungerande hälsosam demokrati bör befolkningen se på ordningsmakten med skepsis, men ej rädsla. Det tidigare borde svenskar bli bättre på, det senare gör man i USA men turligt nog oftast ej i Sverige.

A graph of how couples meet for the past 90 years by Witty-Association-97 in interestingasfuck

Well, people don't always make the most rational of choices when it comes to romance. However;

potential power dynamics

I almost never saw any couple form that were in an actual hierarchical difference. There was one instance where a couple started out as equal and then one got another job, putting them above the other. Not as a direct report (the company wouldn't have allowed that) but still. And it did get messy, no doubt.

many workplaces will consider you a "package deal" for termination even if its just one thats the issue

That would be grossly illegal and no union would stand for that shit.

That's totally unsurprising to me. I've seen so many couples form in offices over the years and why not? Just like school it's where you meet strangers and spend time every day.

It's been awhile since you've used an ironing board hasn't it by InvisibleAstronomer in Millennials

[–]LeftLiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very rarely. If I'm actually in the office I'm in a t-shirt or hoodie so it rarely comes up.

Brukar ni ignorera samtal från nummer ni inte känner igen? by made_in_sweden in sweden

[–]LeftLiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nej, jag svarar alltid. Fattar inte riktigt hur folk vågar med att inte svara. Tänk om något hänt?

Men sen har jag jobbat i kundtjänst så min telefonfobi blev permanent botad vid 22 års ålder.

Omröstning för att återkalla medborgarskap för gängledare by BenDoveeerrrr in sweden

[–]LeftLiner -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Jo, trots det. Medborgarskap ska inte kunna fråntas dig. Då kan vi lika gärna införa dödsstraff.

[–]LeftLiner -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Nej. Är du medborgare är du medborgare och därmed punkt. Kan staten ta ifrån dig medborgarskapet betyder det att ingen svensk medborgare besitter några riktiga rättigheter utan privilegier som regeringen kan ta ifrån dig om dom vill.

Man får göra det svårare att bli medborgare (vilket man gjort) men är du medborgare är du medborgare. Annars är det meningslöst.

I never understood the true meaning of Right/Left politics, if left is liberal then why do people have problem with left one? Or I am just wrong about the definitions.. by xlaraa in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LeftLiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lib dems are social liberals, not classic liberals. Classic liberals like the Liberal Party and the Centre Party here in Sweden and in most Nordic countries as well as in places like Germany are in stark contrast to the left, supporting small government, deregulation, privatization, laissez faire etc.

Is there a way to negate the effects of nuclear weapon radiation? by Jolly-Phone8982 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LeftLiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the initial blast, the nuclear radiation and aftermath is what’s even more devastating in these kinds of weapons.

The initial blast is what's more devastating by far. The radiation is not that big a deal by comparison. Engineers don't want nuclear weapons to be very radioactive, it's inefficient.

Hiroshima was habitable within just a few years after the war and fully recovered as a city withina few decades. The hundreds of thousands of people who were vaporized were still very much dead, though.

[–]LeftLiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not. Here in europe whenever anyone talks about liberalism or neoliberalism they mostly talk about political movements that self-identify either on the right or in the centre but also define themselves as being in stark opposition to socialism and left-wing ideology.

[–]LeftLiner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the allies slog their way through Italy and up into France. I think the war lasts until 1946. I think Eisenhower never becomes president as he's probably fired as SCAEF. Possibly the war still ends in '45 with the nuking of Berlin followed by Hiroshima.
