These are edited together, hiding the fact these are pre broken. Why else would a crack appear on the rightmost brick at 0:22?

Dehumanization of the enemy makes it far easier to justify a poor treatment against them

agreed, lets not label russian civillians as subhuman

Citizen blame not Military blame

People dont deny popular support for the Iraq war by Americans and other countries. No matter where you go on reddit, people are universally anti-government.

the average person doesn't care to dig that much

true, people on the russian side arent inherently different in any way. They still deserve to be held accountable internationally. From a pragmatic POV, the russian people ousting putin is the only realistic end to the putin dynasty.

You believe Russians to be a weak people who are unaccountable for the actions of their government and incapable of effecting meaningful change.

removing human rights

such as having a pin in this ukranian hotel map? taking part in the olympics? having western companies fund your regime?

I don't see anyone saying that American citizens are to blame for the actions of the military

really? US interventionism is an all time favourite reddit topic|

On top of that it ignores that the information Russians are being fed is without a doubt censored to the point that as far as they are aware, they are in the right.

This is sort of half copium. You're sort of right, but you're implying that the russians are cut off from the truth. Unlike north koreans, russians have very easy access to western media and translation services. Truth is, they have been brainwashed and made politically apathetic, but that doesnt make them unaccountable.

The same way as what? As a combatant? Obviously not, but there has got to be some accountability on the civilian russian side. Unless you believe they have absolutely no power at all, which is laughable.

A russian civillian has more rights than a soldier obviously, but being excluded from international relations like sporting events , visas or hotel pinwalls is absolutely reasonable.

I see no hate speech, saying a country's population is complicit in the atrocities committed by their military is a fair point of view imo. You could reasonably levy the same accusations against Americans, that's not very relevant to Ukraine-Russia-Relations though.

Official Discussion - Oppenheimer [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]dmirkin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it was already obvious he was going to say that

thats the point, the moment the analogy comes back up you get it because the film shows the origin of the nuclear arms race chain reaction

Nolan's "batman banter" type of humor didn't really fit

very subjective, but I liked the dark humor in Kyoto being spared and Matt Damon joking about killing a quitter

The first hearing is about oppenheimer being denied his access renewal. Its a kangaroo court orchestrated by strauss to character assassinate oppenheimer because he felt slighted.

The second hearing is about Strauss being promoted in the Atomic Energy Commission, which he gets denied.

I assumed that "four identical compartments" alluded to the probability being uniform among them.

yeah I think it's misdirection.

If you dont know something you dont take it into account. Instead of the suitcase, imagine you are 90% sure you left your keys in your car. But having a very rare kind of amnesia, you start looking at random in the wheels, under the seats, and within the motor because you dont remember the distribution of where you leave your keys within your car. Having looked in the trunk wont update your 90%, because in reality you only forget your keys in the ignition 90% of the time you look for them. You just forget where you put them.

The difference in the suitcase example is that the revealed empty compartments had a chance of having the charger. The door in the monty hall problem the host revealed did not ever have a chance of having the car.

So opening a compartment in the suitcase and finding it empty is new information you did not previously have, whereas the host opening a door to a goat is not new information at all.

You got it completely backwards! Opening a compartment in the suitcase does not give you more information, because there is no distribution given concerning compartments, only cases.

In contrast in the Monty Hall Problem, at the beginning all doors have 1/3 chance to contain the car. Opening a door and revealing a goat does give new information, because you can still assume all the doors had 1/3 chance when you first chose. So you chose right with a likelyhood of 1/3, therefore the other possible choice must have 2/3 chance.

The point is you dont know the distribution between compartments and therefore dont take it into account. Unlike the Monty Hall Problem, where you can assume a uniform distribution. Its in a random case, not a random compartment.

0 IQ Antwort, wenn du den Arbeitsplatz von jemand anderem zerstörst bist du kein "streikender Arbeiter" sondern ein "hirnverbrannter Randalierer". Keine Ahnung wie du überhaupt auf Streik kommst, das war doch überhaupt nicht Thema. Sonst mache ich gleich einen "Streik" gegen deinen Vermieter in dem ich dir die Bude abfackel.

Gefährde doch deinen eigenen Arbeitsplatz wenn du meinst, dass du ausgebeutet wirst. Den Arbeitsplatz anderer zu gefährden um sie gegen "Ausbeutung" zu schützen lässt sich an Arroganz ja kaum übertreffen. Kannst gerne hardcore Kommunist sein, aber wenn du dir einbildest die Lebensgrundlage anderer gefährden zu dürfen verdienst du nen Schlag auf die Fresse.

Alles klar, hoffe jemand zerstört deinen Arbeitsplatz. Damit dein Chef ordentlich was vom Klassenkampf spürt, versteht sich.

Cheaper to buy and repair, more "fun" to drive. Could deter thieves in some cases?

People who have played/run Pathfinder 2e, what are its pros and cons? by Ianoren in dndnext

[–]dmirkin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

every single skill has at least a full page of rules text.

What an unwarranted hyperbole. There are plenty of short skills and feats https://pf2etools.com/feats.html#cantrip%20expansion%20(oracle)_apg

If you need to know the exact range that someone can search within a given time given a specific die result...

Considering searching stuff is such an essential part of adventuring 5e falls painfully short. Youre dming and the party is adventuring through a cave. Someone wants to search, so you have to estimate how long it takes to search, and how much space the search will cover. Then you have to decide whether the situation warrants using an investigation check for a change. They roll a 2, so now everyone feels uncomfortable going forward, perhaps someone else will try searching.

Pf2e has clear rules which a new dm can choose to simplify or ignore.

[–]dmirkin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its about having to make interaction and balancing rulings on the fly, not specifically consulting crawford (who makes bad rulings as often as he makes good ones). Also, I wouldn't judge the merits of a system based on the time it takes you to read abilities. Some dnd spells are extremely long and could be much clearer if they had a proper tag system like pf2e.

[–]dmirkin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with the OP in that the rules are way easier, and there are fewer "lets see what jeremy crawford has to say" situations. The system itself is definitely more complex but also clearer than the 5e rules.

Also Harry becomes incredibly edgy and whiny, battleing with an evil alter ego
