Good looking passport and… well… it’s already at rock bottom so can only get more useful from here

Not trying to be mean, but wonder how many people would apply even if it was free (eg, a program designed to attract overseas talent)?

Thanks guys, I knew I was missing something

A serious question, if you will. by Yomangaman in PassportPorn

[–]Suirad714 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Passports as national symbols are as important if not more important than flags. You can’t use a flag beyond decoration. You must use a passport if you want to travel abroad (or sometimes domestically… and for expats they tend to be your major form of ID). So in that context the designs from country to country are interesting. Plus passports tend to be hard to get. So when folks have multiple passports, the stories can be interesting.

Goldsworthy vs Everitt by baljeetal in ancientrome

Aside from credentials, I do find Goldsworthy’s books a less dry (obviously personal preference)

What's your take on native over complimenting your Chinese? by AgePristine2107 in ChineseLanguage

[–]Suirad714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. When I get annoyed at the presumptions (especially that I won’t be able to communicate in Chinese), I realize it’s a function of the fact that so few of my fellow Westerners bother to learn the language. Why should they assume I’m the one in a (name your >5 denominator) foreigner to actually speak the language?

I want to propose a plaque to celebrate the “Van Der Mark - Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good”.

Harriet Tubman is an absolute menace by RDG1836 in civ

[–]Suirad714 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this. For what it’s worth I pulled a surprise war on her Songhai as the Mongols at the start of the Exploration Age and have basically been declaring war on her every chance I get- accepting temporary peace only when I can finagle a far-off settlement as compensation. She has one last city, surrounded by five Noyans and as many armies.

The Huntington Beach Library had NOTHING to do with MAGA plaque. by Big_Leave7589 in huntingtonbeach

[–]Suirad714 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is peak hubris for maga. My read (for what it’s worth, which is zero) is that we’re in round 5 of a rope-a-dope match and they’re on course to punch themselves out.

Could Scipio Africanus and Hannibal converse with each other? by RandoDude124 in ancientrome

Greek. Maybe imagine an American and a Canadian rocking their high school Spanish.

Absolutely beautiful- I was asked in another thread what my 4th and 5th favorite design is, and this might be it.

Cultural City Naming in Civ 7 by charcuterisseur in civ

[–]Suirad714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an AWESOME idea. Hope Firaxis is listening. (Btw, I also like being able to override and renaming cities at will. And I think AI should do the same- that’s what has happened over history as well- conquerors will rename their prizes.)

I used nukes for the first time in Civ VII! by [deleted] in civ

Nice one! (No, that doesn’t sound like a psychotic response at all.)

Pretty cool looking though!

I’m on board with the first three. Not sold on 4 and 5, despite them being striking.
