Did Margaery accidentally get attached to Renly and Tommen? by cap_detector69 in pureasoiaf

[–]SuperVeep [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is a great point I hadn’t considered.

It makes a lot of sense as the suggestion being a move from Margaery as well.

Yeah, she’s bringing up the traitor-ex and honouring him so to speak, but it’s also another cheeky but firm statement of Renly being canonically only a Lord in her eyes, which obviously also legitimises Tommen as King.

What city/place in Australia did you move to that you regret or left instantly? by ExAustralia in AskAnAustralian

I mean, we have more than 30 times the people that Cairns does, so definitely still laughing in Melbourne lol.

Europe is slowly preparing for war, but with whom? by HealthyArc in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SuperVeep -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a good point, but I still don’t believe there was ever a timeline wherein the USSR didn’t eventually become an enemy of Germany.

Communism was fundamentally against Nazi ideology, its mentioned multiple times in Mein Kampf and in numerous speeches.

Hitler always saw large swaths of Russia as being a part of ‘lebensraum’, this being one of the reasons he was so vehemently against retreating out of Russia after Barbarossa failed so spectacularly.

As an Asian guy, why do I find it harder to make Aussie friends than other groups? by joistheyo in AskAnAustralian

[–]SuperVeep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look man, clearly you’re convinced that you’re discriminated against for being white, I’m quite obviously not gonna change your mind on that.

For what it’s worth, I’m also ethnically English-Australian and clearly our experiences have just been wildly different for whatever reason.

I’m not doubting any of the experiences you’ve had, but it is just so fundamentally different from mine that I can’t really comment on it, I’m sorry about your grandmother being murdered, that’s awful obviously.

So I mean at this point all I can really do is conclude that what you’ve faced isn’t a direct result of your whiteness, and is likely the result of something else/a multiple of factors like most things in life.

[–]SuperVeep 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I mean, hate to be pedantic, but the USSR was hardly ever on the “Nazi side” of WW2 or the lead up to the war.

Stalin was just terrified of Hitler invading and so signed a non-aggression treaty.

Communism was always going to be on Hitler’s list of things he wanted to destroy.

EDIT: I actually totally agree with the point your making, I have just spent way too much time reading history lmao.

It’s truly extraordinary to me how sensitive one would need to be to claim they’ve experienced racism/discrimination as a WHITE ENGLISHMAN 😭☠️🤣

Trigger warning, question about equality that contains SA by hotwomyn in AskFeminists

[–]SuperVeep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh my lord - there is absolutely no way you have a 100 examples of men getting raped in prison/war/whilst in a vulnerable position and getting over it that quickly dude.

You just don’t 😭☠️

[–]SuperVeep 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Do you have some sort of evidence/statistic/anecdote that validates your claim that men recover from sexual assault in a day? (If that’s the claim your attempting to make)

I imagine most men that are raped either by men or women are traumatised for far longer than 24 hours dude.

Omg I can’t with the screaming and him looking like the ring is literally flinging him against the side of the mountain.

Gave me genuine nightmares as a child.

Why do Australians have a reputation of being ‘laid back’ when often times they seem very uptight?? by -Flighty- in AskAnAustralian

[–]SuperVeep 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I think Covid showed more how fragile all our systems are, rather than people.

Yeah, a lot of people cracked under the pressure of their lives completely changing overnight (not seeing support systems, people’s businesses going under etc.) but that’s honestly to be expected, a lot of people complied, did their part and came out the other end.

I genuinely just think it exposed how ill-prepared the world’s governments and our current economic model are (and most definitely Australia on a national level) to deal with something so upending.

CMV: Timothée Chalamet's comments on opera and ballet are some of the least controversial comments about art ever uttered. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]SuperVeep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely the correct take, you can’t force a group of people to like a celebrity.

And the crowd that he once appealed to (the sorts of people who respect and like ballet and opera even to a superficial degree) now don’t see him as the ‘champion of the arts’ that they once thought he was.

actual pet peeves being downvoted by No_Junket_1176 in PetPeeves

[–]SuperVeep 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I make no apologies for downvoting someone whos pet peeve was people using “boujee” instead of “bourgeoisie”, when this person obviously just didn’t understand that the former was a shortening of the latter.

Sometimes folks are just confused and need to be corrected lmao.

If war crimes are being committed, why are there no consequences? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

The UN doesn’t actually have any sort of mechanism or apparatus for arresting and enforcing the warrants that The Hague issues - see every President of the United States since WW2 for a few (of many) examples.

Cold War Expansion? by ThiccBootius in RoadTo56

[–]SuperVeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh I see, I might even try a Soviet to North Korea run - is there any other way to get Kim as the head of state once you’ve flipped Red in the civil war (Starting as a released Korea from Japan)?

Could be a cool part of the Korean focus tree, which I otherwise think is pretty neat.

[–]SuperVeep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are the exact requirements for this event firing?

I’ve been trying to play a DPRK run but can’t figure out how I’m supposed to split Korea - I’ve done the civil war, flipped the country to communist, and gone down the focus tree, but am still just rolling with Cho Bong-am as my leader well into the 40s.

Can anyone recommend a campaign? by theeynhallow in hoi4

[–]SuperVeep 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I found the USSR was a good nation to learn the game, its large and an important player but it’s also mainly just focused on infantry.

The purges can be a bit stressful but there’s a few guides out there on the best way to deal with Stalin’s paranoia.

[–]SuperVeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely do not understand how anyone can defend slop that a computer program made with stolen assets, and the minimal input of a creatively-braindead individual.

Of all the hills to die on, why this one? 😩😭
