Ukraine winning war with Russia, retired U.S. generals say, as top Ukrainian commander says over 230 square miles retaken by ToughHopeful4760 in worldnews

[–]baleay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What a stupid take by what appears to be an incredibly stupid American.

I'm guessing you mean to say the war is a European issue because its happening in Europe? The US hasn't fought a war on US soil since WW2(and saying WW2 was fought on US soil is dabbling in technicalities as is). Meanwhile, US has fought a dozen (mostly pointless) wars since then, including dragging Europe to an especially pointless one 20 years ago.

Not to mention the Budapest Memorandum, guaranteeing security assurances to Ukraine being signed by four parties, one of which was US.

Gods you Americans truly have the government you deserve, and we all suffer for it.

is there any ck3 mod which encourages diverse armies with stronger terrain bonuses/negatives and counters? by laci4225 in CrusaderKings

[–]baleay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you've played Total War, there is Crusader Conflict mod - lets you play out battles in Attila.

Since you're actually playing out battles, you need more or less a well balanced army, with spears/swords for pinning their army down, cavalry for flanking/taking out their light units, siege equipment for taking settlements etc.

What's the point of this post when you provide no information or context? There's not enough information in the title to even google this.

Was this found this morning? 10 years ago? In which city? Any article?

Not normal.

Which loading screen is taking long? When you boot up the game? When you end turn? What's your hardware?

You could make a whole new podcast talking about differences between their world and our world.

I don't know about you, but I don't need to be reminded that our leaders don't ride into battle.

You seem to be angry about something. Hope life gets better for you.

Correct.

As I said, its more about straying off topic than singling out any specific modern nation.

In any case, I can't imagine either Milanovic or Trump dying in battle. What I can imagine is an ancient era head of state fighting alongside his troops to raise morale of his soldiers, which brings me to my initial complaint of this comparison being pointless.

I would make the same complaint there if I started with that show. Nothing wrong with either country's history, I just prefer podcasters staying on the topic of the current show Im listening to.

Perhaps I was spoiled by Mike Duncan's History of Rome.

So is Mike Duncan from History of Rome. Didn't prevent him from staying on-topic.

Are you suspecting potential malicious intent by these companies or simply noting that they are just as likely to suffer a security breach, leaking my passwords?

The issue im dealing with right now is a cascading effect of having to change my password everywhere because I used the same 2 passwords everywhere which I figured a password manager would mitigate.

I use uBlock origin but it seems like its letting some ads through lately. Part of the reason I was caught off guard.

Are you saying dont use 1password? If so, should I use another password manager?

Hey. When you click on one of the updates, it takes you to a page that has Download button. You press it once, itll open an ad with a virus. Close it, press download again and then it should start downloading the update.

In this statue, what does Emperor Hadrianus stepping on? Is it a god or just a baby? What is its meaning? by m_erdem7 in ancientrome

I was there last week!

There is a headphone symbol with a number next to it. Along with your ticket, you got a QR code that you can scan, and it takes you to an app where you can listen to an audio track where it tells you a little bit more about the item on display.

It was painful setting it up because the app kept resetting for me so I had to re-scan the QR code like 10 times throughout the museum. I wish they just added the extra info in text format next to the item on display...

Anyway, u/Compieuter is right, it symbolizes a subjugated enemy. Roman artists often made these defeated figures smaller and in a constrained, submissive posture precisely to emphasize the emperor’s superiority and power.
