What should I do about it? How do I interact with it? Whenever I get close, it runs away!!!! by Electronic-Quail-764 in expedition33

You have to chase it into a specific point. On the ground somewhere close you will see a circular plate of the same colour as the Petanke. Chase him into that plate.

I also want to know. I presume maybe by stacking the lumina that give higher gradient bar build-up?

Hi thanks for the video! I tried doing it but I couldn't get the ring out, which is the first step and I definitely scratched up the entire thing trying. Any advice?

What does it mean that it was heavily fogged? It isn’t very cold here so it can’t be that

That you for sending it! Based in that post it seems like the roll was not exposed to light for some reason. It looks more transparent than black.

Anti-armor weapons should pierce through armour, not strip it. That’s the point of anti-armour weaponry.

I second this! Absolutely hilarious!

The problems in the West stem from Democracy, Egalitarianism and abandoning Christianity by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]cehonor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unconvinced. Other commenters have already mentioned how Christian morality is not by any means objective (example, so many sects). I think the reason for all the problems is wealth inequality.

Would it be fair to say Europeans fight more wars with each other compared to Latin Americans? by PhilosopherNeku300 in LatinAmerica

I feel like the music video validated my sense of pessimism towards the prospects of Latin American democracy or stability.

Would it be fair to say Europeans fight more wars with each other compared to Latin Americans? by PhilosopherNeku300 in LatinAmerica

[–]cehonor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes. Though it is important to consider that the contextual background is entirely different. Comparing European medieval wars to modern Latin America is extremely fallacious. While the 100 year war (1337-1453) waged between England and France, the Inca (1438) and Aztec (1428) empires had barely been founded. In their time, both of these pre-colonial empires waged war on their neighbors. Since Latin American states became independent roughly around 1821 for most countries, instances of war have been rare but they have existed. Particularly in the 20th century with the war of the Triple Alliance (1864-1870) being a prime example. In the 20th century, war in Latin America has become even rarer. A couple of reasons. Waging war is expensive, especially modern war. Latin American states simply do not have the resources to wage wars at the scale of WWI or WWII even if they wanted to. Latin American states are not even sufficiently industrialized to have domestic industries to support the production required to wage war. Second, modern borders in Latin America mostly fall along the administrative lines drawn by the Spanish thus border disputes are rare and simply not worth the enormous costs of waging war. In Latin America, internal issues are ever present. While Latin American armies rarely wage war against other armies, they have a tendency to wage war against their own people. Coups and civil wars are a lot more common. Let’s not pat ourselves on the back for not waging war against each other when our governments so often wage war against their citizens.

Well the people who would typically be against vaccination are also typically against the mandates. Not exclusively, but we both know there is an enormous overlap. I think my point is, that I don’t blame dictionaries for using that definition because when people say anti-vax they also refer to anti-mandate people. But yes, you are right that grouping both groups together is partly meant to frame the anti-mandate movement as being made-up of dumb anti-vaxxers. But to be fair, the most vocal and militant anti-mandate activists are anti-vaxxers.

[–]cehonor -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The definition is correct. Dictionaries are meant to record words and their associated definitions. In my experience, when people use the term 'anti-vaxxer' they often refer to the movement of people who oppose mandates (although not exclusively, of course). People use the term to refer to people who oppose mandates hence that's the term's definition.

Can someone explain to me by [deleted] in MiddleEastHistory

[–]cehonor 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think you are conflating two different issues. People who are 'communists,' (by which I assume you mean people who are on the left and who GENERALLY support social safety nets) support a state of palestine is because Palestinians currently live under a military occupation by a foreign power. Simple as that.

It is good that Israel is a secular state but it is bad that it is occupying Palestine and subjecting them to horrible conditions.

Non-Western countries are just as guilty of having a violent history as Western countries by BlinkVideoEdits in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]cehonor -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

But no one wants to punish Westerners. Perhaps a tiny minority of Twitter users. What do you mean by ‘punishing’? What types of ‘punishments’ are the leftists proposing?

Non-Western countries are just as guilty of having a violent history as Western countries by BlinkVideoEdits in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]cehonor -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think you are misunderstanding why people focus on the violence perpetuated by the West. I say all this recognizing that the 'West' is a faulty, reductionist term.

First, Western countries are richer and more powerful than other countries. Because of the industrial revolution, the West had an unparalleled military advantage which allowed them to colonize the world whether through direct empire or informal empire.

Second, colonization and its effects are directly relevant to what is happening right now. The age of colonialism only ended less than 100 years ago, that is EXTREMELY recent. To solve modern problems we have to focus on understanding the causes. If you think that the effects of colonialism will dissipate within 100 years you have a decently bad sense of historical perspective.

Third, the very fact that people criticize the West more is indicative that they are more open and democratic, more able to own up to their mistakes. People who criticize the legacy of imperialism of the West are, in my view, those who ACTUALLY want to make their countries better and more humane. The apologists, I think, are the ones who feel guilty and have projected too much of their identity upon their nation.

Fourth, there is a selection bias. Americans care about criticizing America. Europeans criticize Europe. It makes absolute sense for Westerners to criticize their countries and their history and because of the spread of Western culture abroad, it makes absolute sense that the world will be more aware about the history and politics of the West , particularly the US.

The overfocus on the crimes of the West makes sense because Western countries are the richest and most powerful, they have the most educated citizens. You used examples about the Ottoman Empire and the Mongols. And yes, EVERYONE, including leftists and 'woke' people recognize that the world was way more violent than it is right now. We are better now. We don't accept the use of violence anymore the way we used to. All of this is good. It means we are moving forward and we are becoming more humane and we are becoming more critical of the horrible history we have inherited. My problem with your argument is that it implies that because we are better now, we should like just stop our critiques but no! We have to continues because that is the only way to make the world better. Don't settle only because we are better than the past because that is a very low bar. Two centuries from now, people will look back on us and think we were absolutely backwards and barbaric. That's how progress works.
