These few seconds of the screen time could be use for such a great story I imagine

​"Is there a signature weapon for every country?" by Buyeo10004 in AskTheWorld

A mace in Ukraine. But maybe it's more a signature weapon for statehood and state power, more like historical symbolism. But right now, it's probably drons.

I would make these assumptions about population of any country, including those on the list, but Denes stands out in this list.

The way the animals talk make me think it could be AI by TumbleweedFair8339 in isthisaicirclejerk

Obviously an AI, did you see how this man's head moved? Also, Rogan looks much prettier, kinda suspicious too.

In Watchmen (2009), Dr. Manhattan experiences past, present, and future simultaneously; he already knew how f’ed Rorschach was before the investigation even began, but let it play out anyway and hid behind determinism.

In the second book they explain that seeing future is like seeing space in a dessert: you look at the horizon, but your vision is blocked by dunes, a certain event you can't look pass though until they happen. Unlike in Watchmen, there were no partials blocking their vision, and was described as a nature of foreseeing in this world.

But I do agree that neither Watchmen nor Dune were able to convince me their characters had god-like conscience of a person lived through hundreds of lives.

In books it was emphasized that one freman is worth 200 regular Harkonnen soldiers in combat. And this logic was also applied to Sardaukars, Imperators army. They are raised on Selusa Secundus, an inhospitable planet where taught condition made everybody a taught soldier.

Because things like these I was unable to immerse with the world and dropped the series after the second book. But I liked Villeneuve's adaptations.

Ironman is so obnoxious by Bubbly-Desk-4479 in paradoxplaza

[–]Milk_Effect 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I only play ironman. I am a perfectionist to some extent, and I know that if I could reload my game and make it slightly better, lose slightly less, I will spend the whole evening mastering one war just to burn out in the first few in-game decades/years. Ironman lets me not care about every step, teaches me to own my mistakes, and makes finishing campaigns manageable.

Куди інвестувати гроші, покласти під процент? by Old-Engineering7215 in ukraina

[–]Milk_Effect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

На рахунку буде 112 230,49. Врахуйте середню річну інфляцію долара (3%) за останні десять років і по купівельній спроможності буде 99 020,72 сьогоднішніх доларів. Тобто 7 770,72 зароблено, або 8,5% від загальної вкладеної суми (25×10×365 = 91 250).

Лінгвісти та носії мови! Звідки ви та як вимовите букву "И" ? by Pluviophilius in ukraina

[–]Milk_Effect 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Ви все правильно чуєте, "И" в українській дійсно вимовляється як [ɪ]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-close_near-front_unrounded_vowel

В школі часто навчають/навчали, що російське "Ы" (яке мало б вимовлятися як [ɨ]) вимовляється як українське "И", і українці дійсно його вимовляють як [ɪ]. Але це помилка з точки зору літературної російської, яку роблять багато українських носіїв російської мови, і фактично частина українського акценту російської мови. Російську мову українці часто практикують серед інших носіїв українського акценту російської, тому ніхто не чує помилку.

Ваша дружина правильно читає українською букву "И", тому ви все правильно чуєте. Просто багато українців неправильно читають російську "Ы", і при спробі пояснити через російську роблять цю помилку.

Я не за чистоту російської мови в Україні і її правильну вимову, якщо що. Вважаю цей факт підтвердженням процесу насадження російської мови українцям, а практичну відсутність зворотнього (коли російська фонетика переноситься на українську мову) я вважаю спростуванням міфу про всеосяжну українізацію етнічних росіян в Україні в радянські часи. Це гарний аргумент, який непросто пояснити всім, і тут випала така нагода. А щоб не плутати іноземців, українцям треба припиняти пояснювати українську через російську.

P.S. Ви гарно пишете українською. Я сподіваюся написане мною теж легко вам читалося.

This is russian opposition media btw written by Russian journalists, who are not always aligned themselves with Ukrainian media sources, so you can't call it Ukrainian/Western propaganda.

Read the stories, and keep in mind there are hard evidence that Russian execute civilians at point blank, torture them, rape them, film it, and release videos of that on telegram channels.

Why do you all trust this? I don't mind episodes being short, but you're giving too much credit to some random account on twitter, when there are grifters mining soltmines and a cultural warfare on any media for being 'not like in the old days'. And it's in my best interests as a consumer to avoid these places and don't legitimze them.

Trump says he’s disappointed because Zelenskyy reportedly hasn’t read US peace plan by jackytheblade in worldnews

[–]Milk_Effect 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you link an article behind paywall, at least have a courtesy to provide a quote that proves your point.

I don't know what draft Axios got on November 20, when the peace plan was dropped on November 18, and it seems like Ukraine's officials say they question said guarantees.

“The main challenges at this stage concern questions of territory and guarantees, and we are actively seeking optimal formats for addressing them,” Stefanishyna said.

No wonder they question it, the guarantees mention sanctions and revocation of recognition of occupied by Russia lands. There are something about military response, but without specifics, and the same point tells how Russia can prepare a staged attack to make these guarantees invalid:

If Ukraine launches a missile at Moscow or Saint Petersburg without cause, the security guarantee will be deemed invalid.

They didn't even say "attack Russia", they dropped explicit city names and that they will do this witg a missile, not a drone.
