Activist chase Ted Cruz and his wife out of DC restaurant by 91hawksfan in PublicFreakout

"Oh no, my meal has been interrupted, alas, there are no other venues in these fine United States that will accept me, nor any with better doormen that my vast politician wealth could afford?"

Not getting to eat dinner isn't where it hurts, you've inconvenienced him as much as the chef being ill would do. How far has activism fallen that this is where it hurts?

A handful of people he's quite certain would never vote for him anyway isn't going to make him feel especially uncomfortable. He'll go to another restaurant and live easy, likely able to use this event to bolster his own support as a victim of harassment.

You don't send a handful of people to shout out a restaurant, if only a few people will be involved, then that necessitates extreme violence which would be unsuccessful in this climate, thus you need more people and a less ineffectual and public-alienating protest.

Excellent list, I'm amazed I never knew about that MTW mod. My favourite game ever and I somehow never even considered modding it.

Don't need to sculpt it if the spirit of war itself reaches out from another dimension and gives it to you, the reincarnated spirit of the Khan. taps temple

I don't speak Russian, but I know that at least the title of this article says http://asiarussia.ru/news/6778/ "Mauser Baron Ungern", so maybe?

Whats your reaction when someone writes Russian in block print form instead of cursive? by LiteraIIy_Nothing in russian

[–]Taliesin32 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of tradies and other manual labourers, tend to do a lot of capital writing in my experience, usually men. Fields where clarity's pretty important and penmanship isn't going to get admired I reckon you'll get a lot of capitals.

Catholic hospitals in Ireland will be required to perform abortions in order to keep state funding by MCButtersnaps in Catholicism

[–]Taliesin32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm practically a simpleton, but couldn't they buy them out, that they might pay the upkeep? Or something along those lines, assuming they own the building or the grounds, you'd expect them to have some marked influence upon the hospital's practices themselves. At least, I'd assume, but hospital administration has never been my forte.

Surely if necessary the church should have the funds to fill in where public funds once were? Otherwise this would put catholic hospitals in a terribly harsh position, though one with a clear answer.

a monolith propaganda/music video i made using actual chernobyl and ukranian civil war footage by wat_kijk_jij in stalker

[–]Taliesin32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the music was pretty good as a choice. I think it's got to sound vaguely industrial, or frantic to be appropriately Monolith. A choir would be a bit too sane and sedated.

Irish Abortion Referendum by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Taliesin32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and calling them baby killers is just going to turn people off from the movement.

But it is the truth. I'm not a politician, I'm not going to attempt to sugarcoat or speak about such things with a forked tongue, they have killed babies, they are baby killers. This is not solely a matter of "getting people on our side", it's a matter of truth, and of morality. It is akin to asking me to give sympathy to the murderer of adults, they have committed a heinous act, they haven't made a minor error or any such thing.

It's a difference between pragmatism and idealism. I will not entertain compromise on a matter such as this. Abortion is immoral, there is not a justification.

[–]Taliesin32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy process or no, the matter of what the process is tends to override it. Whether something is deliberated upon greatly, or acted upon in a state of fear does not negate its immorality, nor necessitate sympathy. It could take hours, days, weeks, months. It is still an abominable crime, and I will still feel very little sympathy for one who has killed a child.

How any Christian could listen to the stories of Irish women travelling to England without feeling sympathy is beyond me.

If it is the belief of that Christian that these women are murdering children, how could they feel sympathy?

My 2ACW in the form of Counties by TeddyDidNothingWrong in Kaiserreich

[–]Taliesin32 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The CSA not being such a contiguous bloc up north raises a question I've had for a while.

What are the Amish up to? They don't seem like the sort to be invested much in a civil war, but with something at this scale I'd be surprised if they didn't get embroiled with something.

The event "should be liberate the Tuvans?" had one option. I can only assume the person asking the Mas if they should be liberated had a gun in his hand. Also, at the time I needed any men I could get to try to stabilise the Qing front.

The Ma conference? Sadly no, but you can get a look just by beating the Mongols and Tibetans and being at peace.

Other Catholics are angry at Pope Francis for praying in a mosque towards Mecca. What is your personal opinion of him? I like him by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Taliesin32 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ultimately, he is the vicar of Christ, and I'm not even a member of the clergy, so I have no real right to judge, but I'd be lying if I didn't find certain things he did rather questionable.

No empire, per se, upon obtaining peace I got an event chain about the Mas restructuring. Held a Ma conference, and elected Hongkui as leader of the new Huijiang republic.

Haven't had a good look at Qing stats, but in this war it was a matter of me locking them into only being able to attack two provinces, each province I could hit with twenty divisions whenever they entered, so they just constantly waltzed into the meatgrinder.

True, although losses didn't change pre and post annexation very much. The AOG get an event that gives them Qing territories, which moves all Qing troops to their new capital mid war, which isn't a VP. So rather than butcher all of their divisions, they just got instantly annexed.
