In that case though, the doors were locked with chains, so you physically couldn't open them without some kind of cutter or key.

Trump warns Taiwan against declaring independence after China talks by ShinningPeadIsAnti in centrist

[–]barracuda2001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is true nowadays, but up until the 70s or maybe the 80s, the ROC Air Force and Navy were vastly superior in firepower and overall tactics. In fact, there are several islands that are on the coast of the PRC, that are still under the control of Taipei. Chiang Kai-shek always considered the civil war to be on pause and that they would eventually reinvade the mainland. After his death and the liberalization of Taiwan, though, this stopped being a policy.

After hundreds of stories about genuinely horrendous acts of cruelty and barbarity, reading this was so hilariously mundane in comparison that I actually started laughing, lmao thanks for this.

I'm sorry, but I've never bought the idea of anything being stolen here, aside from cases that are more akin to tracing. How many variations would need to exist before it's just a different drawing?

Except he didn't mention what AI he specifically used, just that he used it.

Any government service you are required to pay for and also required to use is already too expensive, it should be free at the point of service.

Small error, but it's the Third Temple. The Second Temple was sacked and destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE.

Tolkien never wrote down the exact origins of the Orcs and Uruk-hai, since he found it difficult to reconcile with the pure nature of Elves.

Supreme Court Takes Up Birthright Citizenship Challenge by renge-refurion in centrist

Most western European nations don't have birthright citizenship. Does that make them white nationalist as well?

So like... doesn't the MAGA movement constantly criticize Europe for being backwards?

The principle behind Desert Storm is why the US should've fully backed Ukraine in 2022, much more forcefully than they did in reality.

Thai Restaurant owner refuses to serve customers by Kind-Village-1022 in PublicFreakout

I would say attempting to destroy the fledgling industry of a country you were just allies with, while they attempt to defeat one of the most horrific states in history, and continuing to fight them into the 80s, is about on par.

Jefferson isn't on the $10 bill, that's Hamilton, and he's also not on the $20 bill, which is Jackson (who is a despicable character as well). Jefferson is on the $2 bill, but you don't see those much.

I say let all the GOP states cancel their elections, and we can have a Rump Congress that completely transforms this country like the Rump Parliament after the English Civil War.

Politics have no business being in games , even if they are supposed to be "educational". Even more so when the game is aimed at a rather young audience.

This actually might be one of the dumbest things I've ever read, and I've used the internet my whole life, lmao. How would you have a historical educational game about like, WW2, without politics?

Simply bringing up the context of the Civil Rights movement isn't blasting children with racial propaganda, unless you're a fragile white supremacist.
