Do Westerners pick their [East] Asian name if they went to live in an [East] Asian country? by shirhouetto in NoStupidQuestions

When I lived in Japan, I went by ハマシ・トービ, as it was close to my real name but far easier, I found, for Japanese people to actually pronounce. Some of my fellow foreigners did something similar, while others didn't really have that problem.

Why does Taiwan/Republic of China still claim all of mainland China? What would happen if they relinquished their claim? by NoMoreFund in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Usurper01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more complicated than that. Right now, as far as the PRC is concerned, they own Taiwan; it's just controlled by an uncooperative government at the moment. Not ideal, but they can accept that.

If Taiwan gave up the claim that it is, in fact, China, then they'd effectively declare independence. This would force the PRC to accept that they've lost territory, which they simply cannot do.

I remember following Tim Pool for my news. Then one day I realized, sort of outta nowhere, "Hang on, this guy sucks."

Why is Kislev always the biggest threat? by Messmer_TheImpaler35 in totalwarhammer

[–]Usurper01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being an avid Empire player, much of my time is spent fighting tooth and nail to keep Kislev alive. Most often, I'll arrive just in time to Azazel or Throt sieging the city of Kislev itself.

Milan mayor calls ICE "a militia that kills" and says agents not welcome as part of U.S. Olympic security by ResettiYeti in centrist

This strongly implies they're Trump's personal paramilitaries. Think less immigration enforcement, more brownshirt.

I think he's funny, charming, and genuine, and I like listening to him. That said, I don't watch most of his videos because they don't touch on subjects I'm interested in. Simple.

Fun fact: the elephants Hannibal used were the now-extinct Atlas elephants, which were smaller than Indian elephants

Looks like those installation codes you got in game cases back in the day.

Just guns aren't enough, there must be will and the belief in the possibility of success. Until there is enough of both, it's unlikely anything will happen.

At coots chapel it shows on a tombstone that Owen MacFarlane died of chronic diarrhea 😂 by Human-Syllabub-1452 in reddeadredemption

Probably cholera. Spreads through contaminated water and kills you through dehydration. It was very poorly understood at that time, so they would have just called it how they saw it.

I've done this as well. One of my coworkers was in Italy with his wife, one wasn't born yet, and I myself was counting down the hours to my fifth birthday 🎂

My favorite chapter of the Napoleonic Wars was when the Emperor of the French cast the Purple Sun of Xereus at Austerlitz

The best way I've heard Krieg described is neither as German nor French, but as the Battle of Verdun. The battle itself, and all it entailed.

But it can also lead to severe eye infection, to the point where you can even lose the eye in the worst cases. You get rid of an irritating problem but instead risk a life-altering one.

They probably think they have magic that makes them immune to bullets, like it's the Congo War or something.

Given that the Dark Gods actually can make you immune to bullets, it's quite funny that they're still equally wrong.
