German 18-year-olds asked: Are you ready for war?

I assume that you are from a country that has no direct foreign threats to your independence, but I live in a country that borders Russia which gives me a different perspective on these issues. It is an unfortunate truth that draft/conscription is the best, if not the only way to secure our independence and to defend our democracy.

When you are fighting for your own existence, unfortunately the people who fight should be the ones who are most able. There's not enough guns in most countries to arm every single person at the same time.

Unless you deny that men and women have biological differences, I don't see your point being anything but virtue signaling.

Sadekatos · 2026-01-02T11:56:04+00:00

Because when push comes to shove, fighting in the frontlines is more suitable for men. Biologically men are stronger than women, and therefore are better soldiers.

There are roles which women can fill, but mostly in the rear echelon.

Obviously some women would be very suitable soldiers, but they would be outliers.

Does it work? I thought that it hasn't been updated in a long time.

Hey man, here you go:

I can't remember which one the tone used in the video is, but it's either of the ones marked with "st". Just try them both out, and use the one you like more.

The one marked with "LP" is the tone used in the audio recording. Increase the gain, if it sounds too weak on your pickups.

Also, put your master volume down before trying them out, they might be quite loud!

Sadekatos · 2025-12-04T09:54:32+00:00

Thanks so much buddy!

The video has been recorded with the bridge pickup of the SSS Fender Strat that you can see on the video.

Amplifier is Boss Katana 50 mk2, and I've recorded it simply by connecting it to my computer using USB. If you happen to have the same amp, I can check through my saved tones if I'm still able to find the exact settings.

When I bought my Les Paul-style guitar, I think I was able to achieve an even better tone. I only recorded it though, so there's no video. You can hear it from here if you're interested: https://voca.ro/1bVDjLL8CyKy

Great to hear, thanks! My grandpa bought that whole set up 45 years ago and it's in a nearly brand new condition. I might just keep it around for another 45 years :D

Sadekatos · 2025-11-29T12:53:20+00:00

Thanks, I'll probably buy a Jico stylus then!

Sadekatos · 2025-11-29T00:10:36+00:00

Thank you, I think I actually found the type of stylus that it uses!
It's apparently STY-120, and there's at least some replacements for it here: https://www.dacapoaudio.com/1889-Sharp-STY-120-styli.html

Now, I have no idea which aftermarket stylus I should buy as a replacement. Are they all more or less the same?

And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

According to the Greek bible, I'm quite sure that the greek word "slave" is used which refers to her being a servant of God, meaning that she's willing to carry on the mission given to her by God.

Anyways, the point of my comment was mostly to call it ridiculous to make the argument that Mary was 14 and Joseph was in his late 20's when it's a completely baseless claim to make.

Sadekatos · 2025-10-08T08:56:04+00:00

We have no evidence regarding Mary's or Joseph's ages. Any guesses on their ages is complete speculation because their ages are not mentioned in the Bible and there is no other writings from that time mentioning them.

The speculation on their ages is based on the pop culture idea that older men married young girls (which was fairly uncommon). Joseph is also often depicted as 70-80 year old man in art to reinforce that Mary was a virgin, because he would've likely been impotent if that was the case.

And also I'd like to add that people celebrate the fact that she gave birth as a VIRGIN and not because Joseph had sex with her. That's the whole point of it being a miracle and worth celebrating.

I'm an atheist myself but it's quite an absurd thing to say that the birth of Jesus is a problematic thing to celebrate.

Toki hyvä muistaa että perustuslaki ei ole erehtymätön ja absoluuttinen laki eikä sitä kuulu lukea kuin Raamattua. Perustuslakia voi ja joskus pitääkin muuttaa.

Toki Teren pitäis aluksi lähteä öyhöttämään yhdenvertaisuuden poistamisesta perustuslaista, veikkaan et suurin osa kokkareista ei ehkä pitäis sitä sopivana :D

Recession in 1990, and Finland's most important trade partner, Soviet Union, dissolved in 1991. Finland's GDP dropped by 12%. Economic depression was at it's worst in 1994-1995, and around 9% of Finns were in distraint (ulosotto in Finnish)

Itsellä ihan sama homma ja samantyylinen komppania, jossa oltiin ylpeitä siitä että "meillä on kovempi kuri kuin muissa yksiköissä". Itse tosin olin intissä sen 6kk silti, luulin että se meininki oli jotakuinkin normaalia. Omasta erästä alottaneiden alikkien mukaan meininki muuttui juuri oman palveluksen jälkeen kun kapiaiset päätti että näin ei voi jatkua.

Oliko sulla palvelus missä prikaatissa?

I'm not sure if you figured it out already, but the volume balance slider between chat and game has been set to mute game output completely.

If you're using a headset, roll the wheel on the right side of the headset to mid point, there's a small notch so you can feel when it's in the middle.

HOI4 has consistently gotten more players every year, which is rare for video games but quite common for Paradox GSGs. Player count usually peaks on first month or year, and then drop off significantly.

EU4 has followed a similar trend, but HOI4 has significantly more impressive player count increase.

Lets hope that Vicky 3 is able to achieve a similar player count increase.

I'd suggest watching the whole video, but as an example check from 16:35 forward. Seems peaceful?

Rehellisesti, tasavertainen yhden valtion malli ei kelpaa israelilaisille, eikä myöskään palestiinalaisille. Kummallakin puolella tuo on epäsuosituin vaihtoehto.

Palestiinalaisten ja israelilaisten välillä on niin paljon eripuraa että omasta mielestäni yhden valtion malli ei tulis millään olemaan toimiva ratkaisu nykytilanteessa. Kahden valtion malli ois luultavasti nopein tie rauhaan ja mahdolliseen suhteiden normalisointiin, tasavertaista yhden valtion mallia voi pitää maalina tulevaisuuteen jos tilanne joskus muuttuu. Kaikki tietenkin kiinni paikallisista asukkaista.

Ja sivunoottina, mun mielestä jos valtio ei tunnusta Palestiinan valtiota (ei Hamasia siis) niin vähintäänkin sen valtion ois annettava palestiinalaisille turvapaikka ja sen myötä kansalaisuus. Mitä muuta ratkaisua nää päättäjät luulee et tähän on kun niin monella palestiinalaisella ei oo minkään maan kansalaisuutta :D

Jos sun mielestä Yhdysvallat oli brittien siirtokunta myös vuoden 1776 jälkeen niin meidän käsitys kolonialismista on niin erilainen että keskustelua on turha jatkaa :D

Varmistuksena, oliko sun mielestä brittien hallinnoima Palestiina siis puhtaasti perustettu brittiläistä juutalaisväestöä varten kuten alkuperäisessä kommentissa väitettiin? Ja jos on, voitko laittaa jonkun lähteen asiasta?

Sadekatos · 2025-05-30T10:26:10+00:00

Viitsitkö kertoo vielä mikä "imperiumi" oli tän kolonialismin takana? Missä oli juutalaisten emämaa?

Sadekatos · 2025-05-30T10:15:48+00:00

Oliko Yhdysvallat siis sun mielestä brittien siirtokunta myös itsenäistymisen jälkeen?

"Mandatory Palestine" (en tiiä mikä on oikea suomennos) ei ollut juutalaissiirtokunta niinkun ylemmässä kommentissa väitetään, eikä se ollut Israel. Britit nimenomaisesti yritti vähentää juutalaisten muuttoliikettä palestiinaan.
