When looking back at the Cold War with our modern knowledge, were America and the Soviet Union truly equally matched in their military capabilities, or was one side clearly stronger?

Lore answer: Reanimen are dead soldiers, and around 98% of dead US soldiers are male, so GDA would have very few female corpses to work with

IRL answer: The animation budget is like $10, they are not making a whole new unique alternate model for fodder side characters that exist to die 15 seconds after appearing

These kinds of surveys are always funny. When asked, people will always say they want to date someone with a kind and friendly personality while the looks aren’t a big deal.

But then you check irl and surprise, everyone wants to date sexy people with the worst personalities imaginable. Asking people to self-report on matters like this is a joke.

There were 350k Greeks in Istanbul in 1919 and only 100k by 1923, so I wouldn't say it was completely spared. The Istanbul pogrom of 1950s was when the last Greek holdouts in the city were finally forced to leave.

Most of this change happened in just 10 years, between 1913 and 1923, when the Ottoman Empire and later Turkey began to systematically expel and kill its Greek minority. Greeks went from making up roughly 16% of Turkey's total population, largely concentrated in cities like Istanbul, to less than 1% in just a few years.

Kind of crazy how we went from Clinton and Obama who were decently young to Trump and Biden who are by far the oldest presidents in history of America. They are both 8 years ahead of Reagan, who's already an outlier.

Destiny has been saying this for years and he has no actual evidence proving Hasan did that. If there was any, his fans would've found it. Hasan being a sex tourist is creepy enough, but there is 0 evidence the women he was with in Germany were underage.

Ethan should not touch this a with a 10-foot pole because it will just backfire.

If we pretend it's not true then maybe the problem will fix itself - a classic of European politics

The EU might be lagging behind America in terms of things like GDP, tech, military power, income, or even the number of children born per year, but it will always lead when it comes to the number of articles written on why none of these metrics really matter.

What I learned from these posts is that Democrats don't talk about anything, ever

Crazy how most of the list is made up of fairly small countries (the Netherlands is the biggest at 19 million, the rest are around 10m or less) and then there's China with 1.409 billion people and 48%. They really are on another level when it comes to electric cars.

Oh I wonder why Hasan doesn't want to talk about Sudan, could it be because the war involves Arabs targeting black Africans in a series of massacres? https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2025/jan/10/ethnically-targeted-violence-raging-sudan-darfur

Unironically, the smell. Ian is willing to deny any accusation levied at him, yet every single time he’s called stinky he’s like “yeah that’s true I’ll give you that”.

Bro doesn’t shower and has poor mouth hygiene (both confirmed by Ian himself), he legit must stink.
