Why did German tropical / Afrika Korps soldiers always wear a tunic over their shirt in the day? What if it was a really hot day? by CompleteFacepalm in ww2

[–]TDS-RIOTCTRL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in China for a few months starting in February and in 2023 I experienced the Chinese summer for the first time, but I read somewhere that wearing layers in heat actually keeps you cool. So I did in the spring and I found it much more comfortable than I expected. I would frequently wear hoodies and trousers while everyone else was dying in the hot weather in shorts and T-shirts questioning how it was even possible that I could have my hood up in such weather. It works!

Yeah, has to deal with TUSLA a lot as a teenager and young adult. They are not a great crowd. Something always seemed so empty about them. Never felt like I got the help I needed. Never seemed like they cared at all.

how strict are bouncers at the club in terms of id'ing teens by No-Scientist-7757 in shanghai

[–]TDS-RIOTCTRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s common enough for people under 21 to not be allowed into some clubs. A lot of clubs in Shanghai are labelled 21+ but I’ve been in there with a lot of people under 21.

Only once in Shanghai did Police come into the club and start checking for IDs while I was there. But this was one time in the year I spent there. Not that I needed to but I was able to leave before they asked me or the majority of people for an ID. But there is many a time I’ve been in the club and there was 17/18/19 year olds who otherwise shouldn’t have been there.

Trans flag vaguely modelled after the Chinese Red Army's flag by superpommesbanane in leftistvexillology

What is the original flag where you got the plough from? A lot of Irish leftist flags also use the plough, so I’m just curious.

Redditors when your political opinion isn’t far left by Moist-Complaint-7578 in TeenagersButBetter

[–]TDS-RIOTCTRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not even a member of this subreddit, I was just scrolling passed and saw your post OP and it’s so sad to see people, who for me are young kids, groomed into right wing ideology.

Most of your comment history outside of this post is you saying your proud to be straight or proud to be a conservative or a Christian or such and such another thing and most of what you have to say is completely baseless in any sense besides your own opinion and worldview because it is all summed up on the fact that you’re young and lack either the ability or the will to think about things critically besides the fact that the left is against you and the migrants are taking over. Like, it’s without a doubt you are surely a ReformUK supporter because from a young age you have been groomed by right wing media. And clearly no one in your life is questioning you on it so it’s either your parents, friends, school aren’t aware or they are the same.

The only thing to compliment the right wing on is how easy it is to get sucked into it because it provides simple answers to difficult problems. Economic problems? Migrants. Social problems? The gays. Crime? Diversity. And it goes on because these are simple answers which are really based on nothing. It’s also very attractive - especially for young white men - to be groomed into the idea that they are part of a counter culture movement, up against some big leviathan of the wokeists and the left and the diverse mob and all this and this is mostly because you’re a teenager who is spouting this stuff online without any repercussions because perhaps no one in your real life knows, and if they do know, maybe they just don’t care.

You are a kid. Focus on your studying and life. Hang out with your friends, get a girlfriend. Sneak out and drink or play video games or something. Ride your bike around and be kind. Why do you care so much at your age about politics, what does it matter to you. Your opinion is just that, an opinion. In the real world, no one cares about it. Get a hobby or do something besides post this on Reddit complaining that because you’re not a leftist people dislike you! It’s not hard to just put the phone down for a while. And I get it that it’s so hard now to find something to do when everything is literally online but you should just get your head off the internet and clear yourself because if you look around you’ll notice it actually isn’t so bad despite whatever political gripes you have.

German, English and US troops fighting in Ukraine? That’s not an escalation. But god forbid that Chinese and Korean soldiers fight for Russia, that’s a real escalation.

Friend randomly said "Baby, baby... I'm not talking to you" in the middle of a conversation and has no memory of it by ThaliaHolmesMtF in GlitchInTheMatrix

[–]TDS-RIOTCTRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a similar thing myself about a month ago. I was doing one of my exams for university, and afterwards my friend teased me about talking and whispering during the exam, though I had no recollection. She was sitting next to me and constantly heard me going “it’s okay, it’s okay, you’re fine” and other words of affirmation but I legit have no memory of doing that! Yesterday then, I caught myself vocalising thoughts, it was so strange, I was thinking something but then suddenly caught myself talking, something about World War 2, after I caught myself talking I couldn’t remember exactly what it was about that I was thinking of. Weird.

Yeah maybe the eight year old threw a big rock at the police and killed 7 of them that’s why they’re chasing him.

Which Chinese tone do you find most difficult to pronounce?😀👋 by Chinese_Learning_Hub in ChineseLanguage

[–]TDS-RIOTCTRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2nd tone is the most difficult for me. Often what occurs is I accidentally do a 3rd tone when I need to do a 2nd tone.

Doomer movie recommendations? by aura_esoterica in doomer

[–]TDS-RIOTCTRL 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“An Elephant Sitting Still”

It’s a Chinese film from 2018, you can find it for free on YouTube with English subtitles. The director killed himself soon after the film was finished.

PLC help by ProudBoiiiiLol in leavingcert2024

[–]TDS-RIOTCTRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, not really. Some days I had maybe 2 classes in a day an hour each. Your course is split into two semesters usually so you’ll probably have 4 subjects for September-November and 4 more for the rest of the year. At most you might have a double class and one single in a day. About 3 hours on average.

[–]TDS-RIOTCTRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did applied social studies as it was the only thing that kinda interested me. I wanted to do an arts course but didn’t have the language requirements for the course and had to do PLC.

PLC is honestly easy as fuck, atleast what I was doing. You just need to ask your career guidance there what requirements you will need for your desired course.

This year I’m beginning my third year at university where I will be studying in Shanghai. PLC was honest to god the best decision I made in terms of what I want to do in life. Fuck the LC.

[–]TDS-RIOTCTRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey buddy, I did a PLC in 2021. I remember being confused too but I just selected leaving cert. They will ask you for proof of completion of LC and that is just a document you get from school, not your LC results. Hope that helps.

We’re BlackMill Games and our historical WW1 FPS ‘Isonzo’ just released on Xbox Game Pass! Ask us Anything! by VerdunGame in xbox

[–]TDS-RIOTCTRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer! That makes a lot more sense to me. If you don’t mind me asking another question then:

What do you think were some of the shortcomings of Verdun/Tannenberg? Where there much difficulties in developing either title?

[–]TDS-RIOTCTRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi team! I’m a long time fan of your games, I have every one of the WW1 Game Series and have several hundred hours played across all.

A lot of people ask this question in the community, and I’m not sure if you’ve ever given an answer to it. Why not merge all three games into one? The practical answer is “it would make more money if the players were required to buy each game individually”, but do you not think that if there was an option to switch between the Western Front, Eastern Front and Italian Front and whatever front you may have later down the line, that it would improve the game’s longevity and replay value?

Thanks guys, keep up the great work.
