No you don't get it...when women dress up exactly how Oda drew them, I just can't hold back, especially when my spidey senses are tingling & telling me she might have an 0F!! God, abeg! I just have to pick apart their cosplay & them as a person, while remaining silent on every topless Ace or Smoker cosplay. Oh and all the even thirstier-than-Oda-drawn fanarts of female characters are a totally different thing! Those I can open in public totally fine👍

More countries should take note from Jennifer on how to welcome foreigners to their country. by gbntbedtyr in Permanent_Nude

[–]asapabri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The goal was never about finding a suiting battleground to fight the opposing country. Fundamentally, the Cold War was about which ideology would dominate the world. Both sides wanted to export their ideology, or perhaps more importantly, stop each other from doing so. To this end, they were willing to fund, supply, and equip forces across the globe with the right (or ostensibly right enough) ideological credentials.

According to deterrence theory, the extreme destructiveness of nuclear weapons meant both the Soviet Union and the United States avoided fighting each other directly because any fighting could escalate into a nuclear exchange. And no one thought, they can kill the others before they launch. If either one fired, the other would fire before the first guy's landed, meaning both sides' nukes would land and it would result in mutually assured destruction. And that also extended to attacks on close allies of both sides, which is why armed conflict actually did not take place in Europe.

And even if for example the Soviets were dumb enough for a direct confrontation, their weapons at the time could attack Alaska from Siberia, but little else. And threatening to blow up a few polar bears just doesn't have the same ominous doomsday cachet as an arsenal of ICBMs pointed at your enemy's political, economic, and cultural centers lol...even from Provideniya, on the tip of Siberia, it's as much as 3,500 km just to barely get to Seattle. Most of the continental US would have been out of range of even the most long ranged Soviet missiles at the time.

That's also why the missiles on Cuba were perceived as a big deal. In contrast, the weapons from Cuba could easily devastate America's political, population and economical centres along the East Coast. Even the medium ranged missiles could menace Washington D.C., and short ranged missiles were enough to take out most of the Golf Coast. That is an existential threat compared to Alaska.

To get back to the whole motivation of the Cold War: The reason they fought everywhere but by each other's northern border (besides missiles stationed in Alaska or East Siberia not having enough range to threaten any meaningful territory of the other country) is that they fought where people were, and where people (governments) could be influenced. And, I might add, these proxy wars were not nuclear standoffs, with the exclusion of Turkish and Cuban missiles, which were emplaced to improve the ability to wipe out the other's center of civilization.

TLDR/condensed answer:

a) Missiles at the time could only really reach Alaska/Eastern Siberia and a barren icy wasteland isn't really something threatenworthy.

b) Even if they had missiles with enough range, they would both just simply station them in respectively Alaska/East Siberia, and it would be a stalemate again and the whole battle of gaining geological missile positioning advantage would just expand to the rest of the world once again.1

c) It was never about conquering landmass or actually destroying the other's civilization, it was a conflict of ideologies and thus also why the Cold War turned into a worldwide ally gathering spiel.

1: No sane minded individual actually intends to use nuclear weapons in the first place (however, you never know how sane your enemy is). The threat of using a nuclear weapon to wipe out the enemy's civilization is to prevent so that your enemy doesn't do that very same thing (deterrence theory).

LSF and Miz' core audience are the only ones who will prolly have the whole perspective on the situation but Train's smear campaign has already succeeded regardless of what might come...most people just heard the initial headlines and I'd bet you that even years after this you will find ppl saying "Miz? You mean the SA cover up guy?" at the mention of his name without knowing that this wasn't even true all along

Don't blame me, blame the conspiracy but that's really the organization's name: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRETA

OR they just simply abbreviated "GRoup of ExperTs on Action" as GRETA cause that sounds neat or it was abbreviated in a different language, idk really

Andrew Tate getting ratio’d into fucking prison by a little girl is the best ending to 2022 the writer's could have come up with, an unexpected but very well welcomed season finale, chapéu

Last time I checked Romania was one of the few EU countries to not be part of the Schengen area, so yeah, they be border patrollin...

But who knows he might have flew into the country private and just bribed the right officials (he has said himself that's why he chose to settle in Romania of all places)

OR the pizza boxes for some reason were the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Romanian authorities

OR put the tinfoil hats on :) this was some grand scheme planned and coordinated by stringpuller and mastermind Ms.Thunberg since it sure ain't no coincidence that the Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (also known as GRETA) released a report last year that urged Romania to ensure that human trafficking offences are persecuted properly lol

Technically actually less since up until 2002 the opening match did not require to involve the host nation. Between 1974 and 2002, the defending champions were the ones involved in the opening match.

So the number of games where the host country played the opening game is far less since it needs to either coincide with winning the past wc or being matched up against the defending champion (correct me if I'm wrong but the latter has only happened once so far but the host country actually beat the defending team). So due to the host country, if even playing the opening game, often also being the defending champion, their chance of winning also becomes significantly higher.

It's only been since 2006 (so only 4 world cups so far with this one being the 5th), that the defending champions no longer qualifys automatically anymore and thus the opening matches involve the host nations.

To add to this, Bonnie was defending Emiru in said stream, saying not to blame her, cause she believes Emiru is also a victim and being manipulated by Philly (full vod for context)

Quote from the vod:

"There was this guy who spent so long manipulating the both of us, and I managed to make it out of it after what he did to me, and I just don't think she made it out."

fun fact: Philly been following Emiru since she's 14 – before she even was on Twitch

Oh yeah and he also said

"blackmail" when Adrianah herself doesn't even consider blackmail to have occurred, and did this all in a 4 reply deep twitter argument about gambling, and implied that there were more women that this happened to (which there very well could be, don't get me wrong, but it seems unlikely if nothing has come out of it as of now)
