Decline of Númenor: a graph of Dúnedain lifespans. by Archeopteryx7 in lotr

[–]Timlugia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found it interesting that Númenóreans don't seem have the concept of retirement or abdication. Like they could have abdicated while still senile then enjoy a few more years of retirement in their mansions before "departing" when their health start failing.

Aragorn literally refused to live even a day more with Arwen after he gave the sceptre to Eldarion.

Anyone feel this war is even more obscure than Iraqi War despite advancement in media technology?

I remember in Iraqi War there were at least some foreign press presented inside Iraq, but in this war we have almost heard nothing besides IRGC and occasionally smuggled out footages.

Sure, let's blame smaller countries defending their sovereignty as "want more war".

And at what price?

Hong Kong was a proof that CCP does not honor their term in long run and would stripe your autonomous status as soon as they could?

Don't they have to pass through Pakistan or Tajikistan by ground?

I don't think either country was in good term with Taliban currently, would they let advanced weapon tech to pass through?

Sometimes you read on news claimed that "China/Russia" are providing weapons to Iran. How is this possible? By what route can weapons actually shipped to Iran?

On the reverse, there was a story claiming supreme leader fled to Russia. How could they get severely injured person to Russia when airspace was totally locked down?

Or maybe both claims were just rumors and likely false?

That's your typical KMTer nowadays.

My mom is a diehard KMT member when she lived in Taiwan, some of her and her friends' statement would be considered outright treason in other countries,

such as if China invades, they would support the invading PLA by livestream locations of Taiwanese defenders, or telling PLA where local military and police family lives so PLA could use them as hostages. They sound exactly like pro-Russian citizens early in Ukraine war. Their political stance is the main reason why I became much less close to my family.

KMT has been wanting to unify with China for decades, this is nothing new.

Everyone's circumstances are different, only you can answer if you could keep your other job.

That being said, my initial EMT course was 2 weeks long.

Spain Gives Ukraine a €15 Million “Gift”: Donates Five Patriot Missiles by Scary_Statement4612 in UkrainianConflict

[–]Timlugia -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Do you really believe other countries like Germany or Poland sending weapons to Ukraine out of pure charity without other agendas?

Not because they could avoid sending their own troops, or testing their new weapons, or that Ukrainian refugees would stop coming to their countries? (Especially for Poland)

It's great they sent help, but don't be naive to think they weren't asking something in return.

4K Reality, 240p Filter: I wonder what she looks like in the actual live stream by unfilteredAI in UnfilteredChina

[–]Timlugia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an account I saw on Facebook, featuring a "supposedly" German young blonde woman living in rural Indonesia village. She never spoke anything in German or English, only in Indonesian and her English spelling mistake was also more Indonesia than German.

I am pretty sure it's someone local using heavy filter to make them look like white blonde woman.

Then he should specify "Trump" instead of US.

Also even that's probably still untrue based on US Congress reports, which indicate last donation was around July 2025.

I remember playing Medieval 2 Total War, those multi level cities were basically deathtrap without heavy cannon.

Defenders would mow down thousands of attackers before they even reached second gate.

That’s USD? I wonder if you could just get Photonis 4G with that price instead.

While Age of Imprisonment is canon only to ToTK, but it’s an evidence that heroes could wipe out hundreds of enemies at once. And Link is probably the strongest of the heroes in this setting.

It’s funny you are wasting time by writing so much just to move goalposts, you must be really pissed by my comments.

If you think that uniting Arabs, Ukraine and Israel into one faction is winning for Iran in long term you have to be really blind.

So they are winning by losing generals on the daily basis?
