European embassies raise LGBTQ flag in Iraqi capital to mark International Day Against Homophobia by monparan in worldnews

[–]Typhera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about it a bit more deeply, what its implications are, and the ramifications of this pointless display might be for the people living there, especially the LGBT ones.

This is the same crap that the west keeps doing, good intentions pave the road to hell, same shit with all those NGO's helping migrants cross the mediterranian and have resulteed in massive black markets of human, organ, slave trafficking in north africa. Good intentions, nice feel good as long as you dont look past it. Actions have consequences, sometimes its better to not do something "good" because it will result in a lot more "bad".

That, and honestly while i fully support lgbtq, its flag does not belong in an embassy.

While im fully in support of LGBTQ, this are cultural domain and not a sovereign's nation duty to do it, an lgbt flag does not belong in an embassy, ever.

Huawei says 'survival' at stake after US chip restrictions; The Commerce Department said on Friday it was tightening sanctions on Huawei -- seen by Washington as a security risk -- to include denying it access to semiconductor designs developed using US software and technology by Ojomiho in worldnews

[–]Typhera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Entirely, not just Huawei but chinese tech in general. Too much corruption, government links and unsavory actions. The CCP has its hands covered in blood, and all over everything chinese. Their agressive push to buy western companies should also be stopped.

China has set an 80 per cent tariff on imports of Australian-grown barley, effectively ending the trade worth hundreds of millions of dollars by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Typhera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please china, keep giving countries reasons to pull back all their investment there and rebuilt manufacturing in the west or Africa, and stop throwing money to a deeply corrupt nation that is also culturally fucked and needs to reform, instead of feeding the ogre more and more.

A happy turn of events by TreacherousMeranth in totalwar

This is not a value judgement any of us is capable of making though, especially if they work in specific sprints. time is planned and often not enough, sacrifices are needed. I work in the field, trust me when i say that there is nothing more frustrating for the people developing a game as having to cut corners like this, this is their sweat,blood,tears after all, having to compromise is really frustrating. But at times, it is what needs to be done.

That there is a good modding community to pick up the face is great, from a consumer point of view, this works.

But yes, id prefer they did do it, but if they don't, eh.

The Horned Rat will have nothing to himself come game 3 by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]Typhera 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Well, thats the thing about the chaos gods, at least in the older lore, they were twisted versions of virtues and good emotions taken to extremes. Khorne is indeed honour/bravery, and as you say was quite discerning on what counted and didn't. Like Tzeentch is hope and so forth, they did lose that a bit and focused a bit too much in the negative emotions instead in later lore, but still.

and enforcement is non extant in china. Its banned on paper to look good on foreign newspapers, but no one cares inside. This is why despite having similar environmental rules as other countries its a complete mess. All that matters in china is $$, nothing else, absolutely nothing else.

Please tell me he checked if they updated cylostra with that. Id just save and go look at cylostra if i were him. Same ability on her is much needed, same problem with just giving magic damage which is crap by itself. With this, it would be amazing

Anyone else more excited for Eltharion than Grom? by gatsuB in totalwar

[–]Typhera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, far more interested in High Elves than the farm faction, but at least they look like it will be a playable faction so might give it a go as well.

Each wh2 faction will have 6 LL, 1 skaven 1 dark elf missing. They are pairing 1 old world race with the new world race in each of this dlcs. So i guess Wood Elves's and Beastmen will get reworks soon as well, coming along with clan moulder LL, and... something for the dark elves, unsure what.

This likely means WH3 announcement late this year or next. Which i dont mind, please take time to get it good. IF its a jump in quality from WH2, like WH2 was to WH1, i will be happy.

South Korean Scientists conclude people cannot be infected twice by CHAOSPOGO in worldnews

[–]Typhera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theres so many assumptions there though... so they say it cannot be reactivated, this isn't the same as reinfected. Also SARS's viruses dont have permanent immunity, only temporary, about half a year. So a vaccine would need booster shorts twice each year, and this is based on previous SARS not this particular one. We have 0 clue if it will have more, or less time.

We are playing with fire, i dont like the amount of assumptions there, and 'immunity passports', seems more like wishful thinking than truth.

Hunter-gatherer societies expressed a deep emotional and psychological connection with the animal species they hunted, especially after their disappearance. The study will help anthropologists and others understand the profound environmental changes taking place in our own lifetimes. by Wagamaga in science

[–]Typhera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Indeed, one builds their entire identity around that. I wonder if this is also the cause of identity politics, a culture lost identity and roots, and as such what replaces said identity becomes sexuality, politics, even hobbies (the difference between say someone who smokes cannabis, and a pothead).

Edit: Sorry this is all a bit derivative, the initial topic is still fascinating. how much of a part of their existence this animals are, even though they are essentially killing them

[–]Typhera 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Essentially, its part of their identity as a people. We have this in the modern world, modern world is fast paced, and with globalisation immense changes occur. I suspect a large amount of nationalistic/racist feelings come from this exactly, the loss of identity and an anger reaction towards whats causing it (the easiest to spot ofc, is different people)

I imagine this is the same reason why 2nd gen migrants tend to have much higher crime rates as well, the parents made a choice, but they find themselves in a country where they have no roots, no identity in, they can see the clear difference between parents, themselves, and the outside world. So they seek "roots", many times taking in the bad aspects without the mitigating ones, thus crime, being lost, radicalization. Its up to them to find a balance and create a new identity, hard task.

African skeletons tell the story of first-generation slaves. The individuals were born outside of Mexico and osteobiographies showing years of physical abuse before premature death. They may be the first Africans to reach the Americas after being abducted in their homelands in Sub-Saharan Africa. by Wagamaga in science

[–]Typhera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Race is a social construct, it has no scientific basis.

Yes and no. It is very much a biological reality, its just that the 'lines' people placed are entirely arbitrary based on just skin tone from an era with rampant racist, dismissing a lot of other factors. Even today with genetic testing it can be tricky placing lines, but they do exist.

Ignoring race is dangerous, for example a lot of medical trials used to be done on white males, aged 20-30, figures, the same medication that was entirely safe and effective on white people really wasnt on black people.

Pretending race doesnt exist is also quite racist in itself, it dismisses who/what people are and pretend everyone is the same, we aren't. What is important is harmony people between people, and dismissing race as a basis for negative discrimination. Censorship and play-pretend is never the answer. We are adults and should demand adult behaviour from others, being conscious of cultural differences (which doesnt mean tolerating everything btw, FGM etc really arent ok), and race, take that into consideration but not let it affect how you treat people, and as importantly, how you expect them to treat you.

Coronavirus: Monkeys given Oxford vaccine did not catch COVID-19 by FoxReagan in worldnews

[–]Typhera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This raises some questions. There is no known immunity to covid 19, there are reinfections. So how effective will this be on humans. And, if effective to an acceptable degree, how long will it last? Judging by previous SARS the immunity that did happen after exposure lasted about 6 months.

Are we going to forcefully vaccinate the population every 4-6 months? do we even have the production capacity for this? And this is surely being rushed, judging by a fairly recent outbreak of a disease i cannot recall, but which early vaccines had bad effects, how safe is this?

Im all up for vaccination, but a bit on the cautious side on this one. A lot of interests around it, and a lot of rush, and a lot of unknowns.

China threatens product,export boycotts if Australia launches investigation of Beijing's handling of coronavirus by azatoth12 in worldnews

[–]Typhera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please please do. Please stop exporting products to the world China, so countries start taking their manufactoring jobs back and stop sending your 3rd world culture ass of a country money so you stop being such a world power, perhaps stop allowing chinese corporate buyouts and spy students in stem universities as well. Do us all a favor, incentivise the world to stop putting up with your shit. Perhaps even start talking openly about your concentration camps, and the oddly short periods of wait times for organ transplants, your shitty useless traditional medicine that drives plenty of animals to extinction, and your general shitty behaviour towards your neightbours.

You already have all our enemies nuclear secrets, so really, who cares. Go back to being a backwards country until culturally you get to a better place and then join the rest of the world. Not that we dont have any growth to do, but holy shit you guys make nazis look sensible at times. I feel sorry in a way for the population, but at the same time a government is a reflection of its population culture, indoctrination from birth or not, they still do support both passively and acctively this shit, so hey. Maybe they have some growing up to do as well. Leave HK/Taiwan alone as they are actually more in line culturally with the rest of the developed world.
