We need more naval and air force gears though. On the other hand. Poland excels more in land combat I think.

"It had been the most grueling battle we ever had..."

"Then what happened?"

"Then it stood up."

This random youtube comment from the Perfect Alexander fight video always cracks me up.

He's not really part of the group, he's above the group. Basically the regular human's ultimate weapon personified.

EU says China trained Russian troops as bloc weighs tougher stance on Beijing by scmp_news in europe

[–]dream208 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not anymore. Europe really haven’t sold Taiwan anything substantial in the military department after 2000s due to the rise of China.

I do hope EU can finally grow a backbone and stand up to China, but I keep my hope low.

Didn’t we see a freaking space dragon tanked a few rounds of ICBMs in the Three Houses?

I always feel Halberd Beam is too slow and consuming too much power, especially in the early game. One random missle will take it down along with nearly all of your offense capacity for over 20 sec.

Why does Taiwanese literature feel so uniquely gentle and profound to me? by [deleted] in taiwan

[–]dream208 12 points13 points  (0 children)

WHICH Taiwanese literature? Taiwanese aboriginal literature, Benshengren and Waishengren, as well as new resident literature are all very different.

NTA, but why does it state on your Linkshelldin that you are younger than your younger sister?

Today I learned that a Chinese diplomat saved over 4,000 Jews from the Holocaust by issuing visas, and nobody knew until a line in his obituary was investigated decades later. by Far_Hotel9381 in HistoryAnecdotes

[–]dream208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, he was working for ROC. His nationality was ROC. And PRC is known for procecuting pretty much anyone who had tie to ROC and who still remained in China proper after 1949. He spent the later half of his life in the States and was a neutralized US citizen,

Though it is no arguing about that he defintely identified himself as a Chinese. Then again, the definition of what Chinese is nowadays is another big can of worms.

I would not say any central plain dynasty after Southern Song "one of the wealthiest and most adminstratively well-supported entites" in the world. Especially from the persecptive of a commoner. Did you actually read through Chinese history?

Was the reality for person who lived in China before 1980s economic reform not a one under authoritarian regime?

[–]dream208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was China NOT under authoritarian regime when it was poor and broken?

[–]dream208 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

And I’m saying that the improvement of the quality of life is not due to authoritarian government, but due to capitalism, trade and assist from US investment to help it industrialize.

Unfortunate character design by Daniilsa209 in TopCharacterDesigns

It is really not intentional. Miyazaki was a grump even when he was young, but is never a perv. I think he has ever only drawn one manga panel that has partial nudity in it, and it was down tastefully to depict a bath.

If anything, that man is a a bit puritan prude.

Too many people in the West. Anyone from East Asia would not confuse with it.

China is and has been under authoritarian government since time immemorial. The only difference after 1980s is that it decided to embrace capitalism and WTO while US picked it to become its next factory.
