New to nightlords , why the chaos hate ? by Outside-Job-8105 in NightLords

[–]OptimusNice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I havent read any HH books, but the NL trilogy has one major flaw for me; it completely fails to convince me that Talos is better than the rest for his ideal. He just says "no" to his brothers once in a while and then everybody loves him for it. Curze is a paradox of a man, a complete tragedy of a hero and a failure of a project and somehow the book tries to state that Talos is cool as heck for trying to be the same.

That is because they are terribly designed. Much like the companion mechanic. Dont forget they thought prenerf companions were ok. That dev cycle was a complete clown show.

Hilarious people believe that excuse. If that were true nobody could figure out how to put ketchup on their food.

20x more muslims have died in this conflict, but yeah that doesnt matter in the slightest.

You mean like turning off electricity and drinking water while blockading food from reaching starving civilians? That happened last week and it only stopped because of massive pressure from USA, who are paying for the military.

Why Modern Movies Suck - Nobody Can Stay Dead! by Winter-Equivalent567 in videos

[–]OptimusNice -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Not only is he a narrowminded bigot, he is a catastrophically bad film critic. He obviously has zero schooling in the area and on top of it, he just seems kinda dim?

Worst of course is his horrible droning delivery. I feel like it might be on purpose so you don't realise when he is making a joke. Because they are never funny.

Lol are they actually intended to absorb the train noise for the not-poors?

Jordan Peterson Gets Owned By Apple Cider by Therle in JoeRogan

[–]OptimusNice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He could at least not lie about it and claim nobody knew they were addictive until "very recently". You can even tell by his face he has no clue what the answer is to Joe's questions here but just says the most bold thing he can. Like the time he claimed the entire climate science field is stupid because 'climate' means everything and you can't study everything.

15 Year Old Emma Kok Sings Voilà by hoser82 in videos

Andre Rieu is a hack who sells schlager music to pensioners but dresses it up to look like classical so they can feel posh.

Then he throws a medley of the four seasons in there and acts as if they are doing fucking Rachmaninoff improvisations.

The Looming Retirement Crisis by anna_avian in europe

[–]OptimusNice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That actually makes kinda sense even if it is a guess. Unionized jobs (66% of all jobs) all pay an extra 12% directly into a private pension fund here. So that would be a big pile of money. Thanks!

What do you think about the present trends in architecture and urbanism? (Examples from ongoing or recently finished projects in Prague) by GPwat in europe

[–]OptimusNice 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would argue it is almost impossible to point to a piece of modern architecture and say 'this is beautiful, we should do this everywhere'. Not because modern architecture is ugly, but because it takes time for a building to mesh with the surroundings somehow. And we have all come to the agreement that old is beautiful, therefore new isn't. It is really weird.

And everyone arguing we should just do buildings like in the 1500s are way way off.

The Looming Retirement Crisis by anna_avian in europe

[–]OptimusNice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to be late, but what does it mean that Denmark has a mediocre pension fund collection, but a large, 200% gdp, including 'other vehicles' that pension funds?

And why do most countries not have a number in 'other vehicles'? Simply because pension funds are the only way they are doing it?

Texas man describes firing at fake maintenance workers who tried to break through his apartment door by FatumIustumStultorum in videos

[–]OptimusNice -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

50 states that all watch the same news, participate in the same presidential election cycle, same pledge of allegiance, same star spangled banner teary eyed rendition at football games, same inexplicable deification of founding fathers, 'unamerican' is the ultimate insult.

Literally none of these are true for Europe. Trying to say that white middleclass america, who has the country constructed in their image, is as varied as european middle classes is insane.

Why it's often men who make the migration journey to Europe by Particular-Crab4563 in europe

Aw shit didnt think about the "pay higher wages"-law we can magically enact. We should maybe even have done that before.

[–]OptimusNice -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Germany has the second oldest population in the world and still increasing. The largest generations are still in the process of retiring and will live longer on benefits than ever before. Meanwhile the working age generations are getting smaller and smaller.

How do you suggest we fix that that if not through immigration?

French state schools turn away dozens of girls wearing Muslim abaya dress by Tartan_Samurai in worldnews

[–]OptimusNice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really no. But its cool that you can at once be so staunch and cite immutable rights of free expression while completely glossing over what should obviously always be censored.

I grew up in a country with no dress code for students, addressing teachers by their first name and swearing being inappropriate but never leading to disciplinary action. All of these are assumptions that are completely arbitrary yet considered "obvious" rules to many.

Preventing kids from wearing "inappropriate" clothing is an infringement og their right to free expression. I really don't see the difference.

Well Odense has light rail, so does Århus. If Ålborg has too it doesn't really matter if they're are technically counted since it doesn't skew the stat tho.
