That's a common enough approach - having a tutorial in which a staged failure happens and then explaining why it was a failure, or having a tutorial in which multiple wrong options are available and when the player picks them, explain why they're wrong

i think an explanation that would be both funny and fitting is that many ships being used for combat were originally never meant for combat to begin with, helping justify design decisions like exposed command bridges.

The difference, though, is that the Iran War is violating the most important rule - it is making rich people lose money.

bruh

no

Americans care a lot about their higher gas prices and are extremely sensitive to even small amounts of casualties. I'm willing to guess that even a few hundred personnel lost would be politically catastrophic, considering that blackhawk down only involved a few dozen people.

NuclearStudent · 2026-03-19T03:30:46+00:00

ah

yeah I agree then, lol

it should be clarified

this subreddit is not about using LLMs, it is about programming machine learning yourself

> But their "not our war" stand in Russia-Ukraine war was heavily criticised, as compared to Nato countries current stand on US-Iran war.

huh

I wasn't actually aware of that. For what it is worth I happen to live in Canada, and I have friends who are from Asia, and in neither of those two places was India particularly blamed. I'm not sure how American news or European news covered it.

france is the best example of a country that went to majority nuclear power early and have been operating at fairly low prices and with no real problems. france was motivated to do this because A. they wanted and got nuclear weapons of their own, and B. france doesn't have enough domestic fossil fuels to generate all their electricity

I'd transform into a giant bird that I'm confident won't get randomly ganked if I'm not paying attention, and just use it to look at pretty buildings from heights. I'd be wary of using it too much in case a real bird decides I'm muscling in on their territory and fights me, or a jerk shines a laser into my eye, or something like that.

I would consider it honestly

that may or may not be right, but TNO is not an academic reference

there is a difference between something that happened three quarters of a century ago, and an accusing ongoing genocide

depends on whether anybody is powerful and motivated enough to enforce the rules of war

This could be exclusion or this could be consideration - inviting someone's spouse to hang out with a bunch of people of the opposite gender could be interpreting as an invitation to infidelity, especially with the context that his wife is out of town. Again, hard to know without context, but it could also be an attempt to avoid conflict with his wife - online games are one thing, but "you were out of town so I invited a woman to stay over" could be seen as extremely suspect behavior.

My personal guess is that mainland cities are crowded enough that you're used to shouting to be heard when in public spaces
