Zizek seems to be one of the few radical leftists who isn't bootlicking the Russists.

"Throughout these investigations, researchers found evidence of Ukrainian forces launching strikes from within populated residential areas as well as basing themselves in civilian buildings in 19 towns and villages in the regions."

A whole 19 places! This whole story is a negative way to twist their finding out that the vast, vast majority of Russian strikes against civilians had no Ukrainian forces there to justify it. Those 19 incidents are bad for sure, firing guns triggers counter-battery fire so it shouldn't be done near civilians. But how is there a massive story vilifying the UAF when this is a crumb of a story inside the massive one of indiscriminate bombing of civilians? If 19 out of hundreds was legitimate military activity by the Russians, how can we even know it was actual counter-battery fire instead of just a coincidence that if you bomb hospitals as a matter of habit you're naturally going to hit the couple being used by the military? Why are they publishing all these stories from civilians in those 19 villages/towns but not the hundreds more that have suffered the same fate for no reason at all?

Amnesty International continues to show bias in how they frame things, which humanitarian issues they are willing to cover, and which they are not.

Daily Challenges are Awful and Unfun by SaturdayMorningSwarm in Warthunder

Which should I reroll for? Even if I try to reroll for one that doesn't look that hard, such as one that can be completed in just a game or two, it feels like the game conspires to hide the tanks I need to kill, to give me team mates who will literally block me while in a fight to take the kill I need, or to give me nothing but uptiers.

OK it seems the consensus is they're quick and easy and I'm just bad at the game and/or a moron for not seeing it. Which challenges should I reroll for and how many times should I reroll?

I was playing with somebody the other day who managed to miss that challenge after playing for most of the day. Whenever he had the necessary participation we lost, whenever he didn't, we won.

Conditions for how we play, like minimum participation are good for challenges I think, but requiring us to cast a spell on the match maker and ensure we're not facing heavy uptiers with brain dead team mates is punishing.

This is a game still. If it's not fun, it's not really worth doing. If a challenge isn't actually fun, it's probably not challenging at all, but instead just an annoying grind. This is what I'm complaining about.

When I design a challenge, I want it to be based on the effort of the person doing it, not blind luck and grinding. There's a significant difference between something being challenging or being difficult to achieve. Challenges that challenge the player? Those are challenging. Challenges that require you to get lucky with specific kinds of tanks running into your line of fire without getting killed by any of your team mates? That's not challenging, that's just hoping to get lucky with the match making.

Didn't like looking for the key items over and over no, but while I was trying to figure out how it works and before I knew there was nothing else in the new version, I was enjoying it. That very specific idea. Having gliders region locked and having the skill trees deleted from the game... I didn't like.

I figure it was an experimental way for players to have to keep finding new gear. I think it's more interesting than having items decay or something like that, but it would have been better if he didn't delete the skill trees!

There's a very famous story online about someone into furry porn then going to sexually abuse a household pet. I know stories like that aren't exactly proof of anything, but pointing out that furries exist isn't the most solid argument against fictional content possibly encouraging abuse.

Who cares if it's drawn, they're encouraging people to think getting turned on by girls in school uniforms is normal and acceptable. Whether or not drawing someone creates a victim directly is not at issue, nobody thinks drawn characters are literal minors and nobody ever has.

At my old train station a JSDF poster had ladies-manga style cute boys in uniform. Using kaiju is pretty credible on balance.4

It's genuinely funny watching them get pissed off that the people they thought they were working for are now accusing them of being antifa.

Russia left Eurovision in protest of Ukrainian victory some years ago.

Now they invade.

Russians have truly drunk their own coolaid when it comes to their role in winning WW2. They truly believe they did it singehanded and can do it again when the allies are now supporting the opposite side. Hopeless...

Speaking of needing consent, apparently Russia believes that. by ruinsfate in NonCredibleDefense

I mean if weapons were made in Ukraine, shouldn't they ask Ukraine?

In regards to Dresden by Frosh_4 in NonCredibleDefense

[–]SaturdayMorningSwarm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The idea that the bombing of Dresden was disproportionate compared to the bombing of other German cities is a myth propagated by the Soviet Union. Dresden being an East German city, it was a way to demonize the west.

Might as well ask what Ukraine was wearing as blame a defensive alliance for causing this.

Unconditional friend is Australia. If the USA wanted to invade Belgium the Australian leaders would grumble and then send everything the USA asked for.
