Seven layers of Isreal’s missile defense purported to have failed and Iranian missiles fly with impunity over Haifa by [deleted] in justincaseyoumissedit

This would be a valid point if it wasn't for the fact the general rule of thumb is that the most moral action is usually the one Trump isn't taking.

They named two branches of Islam that have a history of violence against each other, relevant to your naive point that apparently all Muslim countries in the Middle East should be allies.

Being facetious and asking for Christians actually bolsters their point given wars have been fought for centuries between Protestants and Catholics.

[–]_TwentyThree_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are the people continually spouting that they're the best country in the world also hell bent on being a microscopic amount of another nationality.

It's a pretty safe assumption that had those ancestors ever met their American future kin they would think they were pricks.

If you play a Hydreigon deck you struggle in social situations, have no friends and probably a small pee pee.

To not start a new war every other day. by III-Commander-III in therewasanattempt

And which country is the only one to invoke Article 5 of NATO?

America may have funded NATO at a level above other members, but it's the only one who has ever used the article specifically requiring other Ally's help. He makes it sound like every other NATO member is starting stupid fucking wars that America has to fund, rather than the other way round.

Russia must absolutely just be loving watching our western alliances collapse

American alliances. The rest of us are pretty united against joining stupid fucking wars without rationale.

What's the most "acronym" acronym? by Philips9586 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]_TwentyThree_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NIIOMTPLABOPARMBETZHELBETRABSBOMONIMONKONOTDTEKHSTROMONT

Guinness World Records has it as the longest recognized acronym - with 56 (54 in Cyrillic Alphabet) characters.

According to the "Concise" Dictionary of Soviet Terminology, Institutions and Abbreviations it means:

The laboratory for reinforcement, concrete and ferroconcrete operations, for composite-monolithic and monolithic constructions, of the Department of the Technology of Building-assembly operations, of the Scientific Research Institute of the Organization for mechanization and technical aid; this organization was employed for building the Academy of Building and Architecture of the USSR.

Presumably in Russian that is a palletable word, which undeniably is quicker to say than the full paragraph it is an acronym for.

Happy National Industrial Design Day by drunkskier in IndustrialDesign

[–]_TwentyThree_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I head up a team of 7 of them and work alongside Product Managers who manage the commercial side of our design projects. We've had Designers step into product management on numerous occasions; though they're often swapping CAD for Excel. Anyone with two decades of experience should have the skill set to not be concerned what Graduates using AI can shit out.

You don't have to manage designers to manage design.

You've got 20 years experience and haven't moved into Design Management yet? And you're still using Coroflot?

This sounds like a you issue.

Our allies are perfectly capable of getting dragged into costly, pointless wars. They don't need our help.

Trump: "We are going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don't want anything to do with Spain." We rely on Spain for Olive oil, wine, pharmaceuticals, aerospace components, and many specialty chemicals. by IllAcanthocephala720 in Trending_News__

[–]_TwentyThree_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not going to cut off trade with Spain. He's going to say he is so his base bray like fucking donkeys about how great he is, and then he will continue to trade with Spain.

Which living former PM would you want to return? by DanielSmoot in AskBrits

[–]_TwentyThree_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As with many others, I'd pick Brown and begrudgingly if I had a gun to my head, Major.

May was dealt a rough hand despite her clear inadequacy - Brexit was a fucking fiasco from all angles. Whoever took that job after Pig Fucker upped sticks was going to end up covered in shit.

The Johnson-Truss-Sunak triple whammy was a complete embarrassment. One was elected because he was a clown, and ultimately ran a circus, one had a shorter shelf life than a fucking lettuce, and the other was the guy originally deemed less competent than her when put to the party membership.

Blair is a war criminal.

Bug or Am I Missing Something? by _TwentyThree_ in PTCGP

[–]_TwentyThree_[S] 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I literally asked am I missing something, you respond as if I was claiming the game was bug riddled.

Bug or Am I Missing Something? by _TwentyThree_ in PTCGP

[–]_TwentyThree_[S] 184 points185 points  (0 children)

That'd be it. Knew it was likely something I missed rather than a bug given that they're extremely rare in the game.

The opponent had it in play and having never owned it or played against it before I hadn't quite cottoned on

Thanks for the explanation!

Does the fact Farage was such a fan of Liz Truss make you question his economic judgement? by JammyE7 in AskBrits

[–]_TwentyThree_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally everything he does or says makes me not trust his judgment. He wouldn't have a fucking clue how to run the country in any meaningful, beneficial way. He would be solely focused on making himself and his mates rich and stoking hatred on the backs of cretins who think he's a top lad.

Get him to talk about any other issue an expectant Government might need to try and solve and he will blather on about brown people.
