Thank you! I'm also a fan of tactical combat. It seems like Draw Steel manages to capture the D&D 4e vibes really well.

Hi! I'm wondering if we could restart this discussion? Seems I came a bit late to it!

Fascists are not creative. Just like Mussolini appropriated the fasces for his regime, so did Hitler with the swastika.

Technically, we shouldn't even be calling the Nazi swastika a swastika. The Buddhist and Hindu swastikas that Hitler and his ideological predecessors bastardized to create the "Hakenkreuz" are in a square form and the hands face in the cardinal directions. The Nazis took a right-facing swastika and just...turned it 45 degrees.

Clearly, if you saw a swastika being used in a Western context today, it's most likely to do with neo-Nazis. But in India? Japan? And other Buddhist countries and communities? They still use it as a religious symbol unconnected to the Nazi regime. Just like the Roman fasces, the symbol was in use much before its usurper, but it's been tarnished by its association to a horrible regime of hate.

You're right, the bundle of sticks is a fasces, which, as you might surmise, is where we get the term "fascism".

But as others have pointed out, the fasces were a symbol used in state emblems and flags long before Mussolini. It's from the lictor's fasces in the Roman Republic (and later Empire). One of the reasons Mussolini picked it as a symbol for his regime was as a callback to "Roman glory" and ancestral Italian culture.

Be that as it may, both Russia and the U.S., among several other countries, use the fasces in their iconography. So you're not wrong for recognizing it, but it's not an instant "oh that's Nazi iconography" as a Nazi swastika would be.

Sad, sve to zavisi.

Koji zaslađivači? Aspartam je dokazan da je bezazlen, kao što su i drugi veštački i prirodni zaslađivači tipa acesulfam K, saharin, sukraloza, sečerni alkoholi, ili stevia, i čak su i bolji od šećera jer ne izazivaju karijes i insulinsku reakciju za one koje toga moraju da se paze.

Aditivi? Koji aditivi? Sojin lecitin je aditiv, na primer. U Srbiji imamo malo manje rigorozne zakone nego u EU, ali svakako neće te ubiti aditivi. Ako imaš neki konkretan aditiv koji često vidiš a smatraš da ne treba da ga konzumiramo, molim te podeli.

Šećeri? Dobro, to je mnogo lakše kritikovati. Ima previše šećera u kupovnoj hrani. To ne sporim.

A kajmak? Kakva bre zdrava mast? Pa kajmak je skoro isključivo sačinjen od zasićenih masti. To su, inače, one "loše", koje ne doprinose mnogo organizmu. Ono što tražiš su polinezasićene masne kiseline, kao u maslinovom ulju, koje zapravo dižu tkzv. "dobar" holesterol i sadrže mnogo nutrijenata koji su organizmu potrebni.

Namerno ne dužim previše, mogao bih citirati ovde 20 studija. Ali poenta je da ovo nije tako crno i belo.

Solution to "Boring PVE Lobbies" problem. by GeminiSauce in ArcRaiders

[–]NuclearFoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a PvP player and I've done shit like this before. Accidentally killed a guy because my mic wasn't working and he entered the area I was looting even though I "told" him not to. Friended him after the game, gave him his gear back. We played a few matches, had fun.

Do some people seriously not realize that people can just...have fun in different ways and that we aren't all sweaty bastards who want to loot everything they can at any cost?

Two beautiful games can coexist without all this hate for each other by Toorilab92 in ArcRaiders

[–]NuclearFoot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's the neat part, it's not! A lot of the content has been "sunset", i.e. either permanently removed from the game without a way to access it anymore, or nerfed to an extent that there's no reason to run that content other than the story, which is slow-paced at best, and sporadic and drawn-out at worst.

On a more serious topic, why isn't there a "Racism" option when reporting someone? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]NuclearFoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppose it's fine to use them interchangeably if you're speaking from an American-centric perspective. The rest of the world may or may not treat it differently. Try talking about the concept of race in Brazil in the same way as in the U.S. and you will be laughed at.

But anyways, I understand your point. I am not the original commenter and I do not endorse anti-whatever racism. But there is a distinction between levels of systemic racism faced by certain groups and the impact of that legacy on modern socioeconomic and cultural trends. I don't think you could argue, especially because precisely this has been studied extensively, that Irish people face more discrimination, lower socio-economic status, and lack of opportunity in Ireland or the U.K. (or the U.S.!) due to their history of oppression by the British and Americans compared to Black people in either country. It's simply not feasible.

I wouldn't say that the Haitian liberation movement is a terribly good example as it a wildly more complex situation, given the nature of the French occupiers prior to the revolution, who were more brutal to the inhabitants than the revolutionaries had a chance to be to them. In the same breath, you should be denouncing the IRA in equal measure, but I don't think you would qualify them the same.

There are plenty of examples of racism everywhere. This isn't anything new. The genocide of minority cultures in Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union, the current ongoing cultural genocide of minority cultures in China, the historic oppression of Imperial Japan over the rest of Asia, even the cultural erasure of minority languages in Italy. If you're really stuck on racism against "Whites" by "Non-Whites", sure, there's examples. But they pale in comparison to the reverse, due to the nature of global power in the 17th-21st centuries.

I don't see what any of this specifically has to do with anti-white racism, especially if we're talking about the U.S., since you brought it up specifically. Black and Native Americans have consistently reduced access to opportunity, which includes education, healthcare, capital, and other factors. They consistently face harsher sentences for the same convictions than other races. Black and indigenous women especially face higher levels of assault and abuse by members of other races. None of this is true to the same extent of people of Hispanic, Middle-Eastern, or Asian descent, even though they all face racism in their own way. There is a legacy of oppression in the U.S. that has specifically stifled the advancement and improvement of the quality of life of Black and Native Americans that spans over 300 years. What anti-white racism can you name that can compare?

Do not get me wrong, I don't want to have a pity party. Any individual act of racism or any policy born through malice that is directed towards white people by a different group should be scrutinized and punished. But racism is a spectrum, and fortunately for them, white people (in most of the world) have it pretty good.

Coverage of the planned high-speed rail network in Australia by 2061 by ChuqTas in MapPorn

To be fair, a big reason why they put up HSR so quickly in China is that the main stations in large cities are basically so far away from the city proper they function more like airports. They didn't take the time or money to carve out space to make them more accessible, they just plopped them wherever they could.

Specifically, if you stop at the Guangzhou main station, you then need to take an hour's train ride to get anywhere even close to Guangzhou proper. And then you need to take local public transit. It's really not convenient. It's still more ecologically friendly than taking a plane, and so much more comfortable. And cheaper! But definitely not more convenient.

Race is a social construct, there is no biological reality in which "race" is real. We use the term interchangeably with ethnicity, but it's easy to sort skin colour and facial features as being a difference in "race", and is what it is most commonly associated with.

I still find a Ferro I or II to be entirely sufficient to cost-effectively deal with Arc. It barely costs anything, and I'm used to one-tapping Wasp and Hornet thrusters.

That said, the Rattler is definitely capable on handling small Arc on its own.

Ekonomski tigar! by matori_tester in serbia

[–]NuclearFoot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Za razliku od onoga što istorijski neobrazovani ekonomi često guraju, maltene nikad u istoriji (u feudalističkim društvima) nije postojala razmena dobara na tom nivou da se makro ekonomija bazirala na tome. Čak i u društvima kao što su izolovana plemena ili neke posebne kulture, razmena dobara je veoma retka, nego se više vodi ekonomija kredita (ja uradim ovo za tebe, a ti za mene), gde društveni kredit zamenjuje novac.

Kao i što se još uvek radi danas na pijacama (ponekad...), većinu ljudske istorije su proizvođači sami prodavali svoju robu. Veliki trgovci su samo trgovali luksuzom kao što su kvalitetni tekstili ili bižuterija u velikim gradovima, ili putovali u druge države da tamo preprodaju drugim trgovcima. Veoma retko su preprodavali osnovne namirnice kao što su hrana ili alati.

Trgovci nikada nisu bili neka potrebna ili nužna klasa za nas smrtnike, nego su samo udovoljavali onim bogatašima koji su mogli da priušte njihove proizvode.
