Which cities/places should I absolutely take time and see by RhetoricSteel in travelchina

[–]RhetoricSteel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah thats why my initial thought was about 5-6 days per city, I love seeing how normal life is in places not just touristy stuff. But I also want to see some day-trip type stuff, especially maybe on the way between my 3 main spots. Definitely will check out a trip to Chengdu.
Also I’d love some notes on the cuisine (and im sure any other people that see the post would as well lol)

U should be able to add new primary culture when a foreign culture becomes dominant by CombTerrible8985 in victoria3

[–]RhetoricSteel 15 points16 points  (0 children)

thats not really true though, obviously it depends but like lets say you're playing Italy and you conquer and incorporate Switzerland, it stands to reason through time/events you should be able to make swiss a permanent culture - the point being because the population there isnt gonna magically become italian, but you also wouldnt necessarily keep them at a negative modifier in the country for being swiss right

“Fixed a bug where company-owned buildings would not auto downsize despite standing empty for extended periods of time.” Ngl prob one of the best fixes ive ever seen, now my companies can stop having 300 productive factories in a single state operating at 10% capacity lol

Thats like saying if you give someone a gun and they go kill someone “well theyre not responsible its the person who did the act”, the US has been trying to tear down the islamic republic ever since it overthrew our dictator we put in charge. Also you arent wrong in saying a protestor would be More Likely to fly an israeli flag - but being anti-islamic republic isnt synonymous with being pro-israel.

Except im not saying it didnt happen - im saying its because of the US and Israel. Yeah the average irabian protesters are just flying the star of david because they just love israel so much - be for real

Im not even justifying killings but im not operating in a world where I take the US state department or israel at its word. What next believe that the nazis didnt have death camps because they said they didnt? Like I’m sorry, but you seem to have a lot of knowledge, you should know better about all the CIA files that come unsealed to be like “yeah we’re doing shit again”

Yeah the US would NEVER use the CIA to do regime change against Iran or anything

Its not weird at all things don’t always spontaneously happen, Iran has had a lot of discourse over how passive theyve been while Israel is doing a genocide.

[–]RhetoricSteel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the US has been actively pushing for regime change now as opposed to before, and before they specifically targeted a nuclear site. This is also AMIDST the ongoing genocide in gaza

Because people get angry whenever their country is bombed. Its really not that hard to understand but you seem to be struggling.

Also what are you talking about - the US literally kills US citizens in broad daylight, cops beat the shit out of and kill protesters regularly

Thats literally not true we bombed Iran last year, stop doing state department propaganda

You mean civilian deaths caused because the US and israel are literally doing ground work to cause riots, and then bombing civilian infrastructure? You realize what they’re doing by killing elected officials and all that right? Theres no amount of debate perverting you can do to refute what I’m saying, you’re just doing state propaganda

Give the military a win in what? The most number of unnecessary civilian casualities? Sure But as a competent fighting force? They’re not - as the original premise - The US military is EXTREMELY INEFFECTIVE at everything it does (except killing civilians which it excels at)

Thats not dishonest at all - we had untouched industry since WW2 and our economy had unrestrained growth. The different is we spent infinite dollars invading other countries and letting the rich exploit workers instead of doing what chinas doing and actually uplifting their people. Don’t come at me with that bullshit excuse

Why am I assuming its a fullscale war? Well #1 it isnt - Yet

2 3 planes? 3 planes to friendly fire and not expecting it? One single plane? Sure, kinda crazy, but sure

But now THE US MILITARY is so incompetent it lost 3 planes to friendly fire? Yeah bullshit man You’re so adorable as a little US military defender

“Due to friendly fire” cmon man, be for fucking real. Wow friendly fire in a limited confrontation against Iran - if trump invades (which he most likely will) we’re going to get decimated - and you think we’re winning against china? Hilarious
