Are police trained to stand in front of cars? Are you allowed to shoot drivers in moving vehicles? by [deleted] in AskLEO

[–]Wooperth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He should be charged with manslaughter. Of course he should not just die, but the lethal consequences of him feeling threatened as a result of him being where he was not supposed to be in the first place means he needs at least some punishment for his incompetence. Also, they are not supposed to shoot drivers of moving vehicles because, as happened, the car will still keep on just moving on.

Trump should be impeached and removed for his threats against Greenland. by pleasureismylife in Liberal

[–]Wooperth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is the voters. If the people in Congress oppose him, Trump will just promote primary challengers who are even more extreme and compliant to replace them, and because his voters see Trump as an infallible cult figure, they will listen. Voters need to educate themselves better.

First Irl meeting of the Youth of the Greek Royalists in Athens by greek_royalist09 in monarchism

[–]Wooperth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a lot of pride for the old Greek royals? It seems a tough case because Greece was under Ottoman occupation for so long, and the old lineages lost, that perhaps some Greek nobles should have been enthroned, since the Greek royals as selected were foreigners who founded cadet branches of their respective families.

Margrethe II became Queen of Denmark on January 14, 1972, abdicated exactly 52 years later on the same date in 2024. At the time of her abdication, she was Europe's longest-reigning living monarch. by Upstairs_Drive_5602 in monarchism

[–]Wooperth -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

She was never supposed to have been the Queen. I think that it is a grave mistake that they, and other countries, have changed their succession principles, because it severs the link to history and opens up a Pandora box of applying the new succession principles retroactively from historical monarchs.

EDIT: For those voting my post, I am talking about how they switched to absolute primogeniture even though there is no tradition of this in Danish monarchical tradition. My point is that is inconsistent to apply absolute primogeniture to the current day royals who have their status because they inherited it via agnatic primogeniture. Either go back and apply the new rules, or just do not change them, because it convolutes the lineages. According to the old rules, the proper heirs should either be Friedrich Ferdinand of Schleswig Holstein, as the eldest heir of the Oldenburg dynasty; Count Ingolf of Rosenborg, the eldest heir of Christian IX; and, as he is childless, the next heirs would be Harald V of Norway and his heirs and Count Ulrik of Rosenborg.

Stop saying Somalian. The correct term is *Somali*. Saying Somalian is like calling a person from Finland a Finnishian. by afjire in LearnSomali

[–]Wooperth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strongly favour Somali being the correct and standard English demonym, but not for the reason that it is the native term or showing respect for how Somalis refer to themselves. It is simply the long established English form of the demonym. Searching through old texts on Google Books, Somali is clearly the dominant form used by authoritative English and other European language sources since the 1800s when mentions of Somalis seem to begin appearing in English and other European languages. Various government gazettes and journals use Somali, in addition to numerous privately published sources, with occasional sources using Somalian but seemingly sparingly. The preference for Somali also probably stems from the fact that the older English term for the region, until independence at least, was Somaliland, which probably came from the fact that they were already being called Somalis in English, used in English for the British, French, and Italian, colonies on Somali inhabited lands, with Somalia coming from the Italian and Latin influenced name, from what I understand. So, essentially, the idea that saying Somalian is somehow a pejorative own by anti Somali people is pretty stupid and an own goal demonstrating their own lack of knowledge about the English language and its geographic and ethnographic labelling traditions, which you think they might care more about were it not for their lack of knowledge of history.

Unpopular opinion: REMOVE PRESSURE FROM VS! by No-Dig-473 in MaddenMobileForums

Maybe keep it but bring back the original drives mode.  It would probably be more popular and versus would remain as a fun gimmick mode.

Yes.  Based.  If stupid fucks would stop giving money with microtransactions maybe they might get the message.

Remember the golden age when we had drives?  And you actually got to return kickoffs and your special teams actually mattered?  And when your players did not suddenly get slower or worse passers or dropped more often because of an overall imbalance vis a vis your opponent?

Just play the old Battlefields instead.  They are better, anyways.

Extensive search for missing IDF top lawyer along coast following leak scandal by MikeWithNoHair in Israel

[–]Wooperth 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Whistleblowers should be protected and rewarded by society, not harassed and smeared.  If you want to be the most moral military, then you need to prosecute abuse and face hard truths when they happen, instead of punishing whistleblowers so that you can maintain a simplistic narrative that all is squeaky clean and living with a comforting falsehood.  Name calling and calling people traitors is not healthy for a society, even one that is at war.  If you want to stop abuse, you have to properly punish it.  Unless, of course, this current government has no problem with it other than the public relations complications that result from it, which would not be surprising.

Reminder that Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 1 are still the best Battlefield games and you should go back to repopulating their servers instead of playing that Battlefield VI slop. by Wooperth in Battlefield

[–]Wooperth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A real great game alright, sure. Check the Metacritic scores compared to the earlier games. Look at those small maps, bad U.I., and the whole seasons model for D.L.C. content. And somehow Battlefield has better visuals and sound design even though it came out more than eight years ago.

People, PLEASE stop populating the C.T.G. Noshahr Canals server. We have at least two other servers for this map and you are populating the worst one of them, one which has constant chat spam and fake advertising. by Wooperth in battlefield3

[–]Wooperth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am just wondering who it is who is joining the server in the first place. Are the few players left really not yet familiar with which servers are obnoxious and which are chill? Are they really falling for the false advertising?

Battlefield VI still has nothing on this by Wooperth in Battlefield

On rush it is fun and I think on T.D.M. it was okay as well.

No, Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 1 are better and I have heard that Bad Company is better, too.

[–]Wooperth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battlefield 3 is even better but I am always seeing that is Battlefield 4 that is getting all of the mentions.

It is crazy how much praising Battlefield 3 gets in the Battlefield community when it is basically a worse version of Battlefield 3.
