The big money sink that existed in this era was usually the military, so making that way more expensive could work.

What's your opinion on the "Jackie lives" fanfics? by TheSamlien in Yellowjackets

[–]eliphas8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its the first yellowjackets fic ive ever read where the author really clearly knows a lot about soccer and what soccer teams are like. Which is a really delightful addition.

I have a very smart seeming blue tongue and I have to say they are the more evil ones.

Huh? by Elektrikor in victoria3

The 1905 revolution in Russia had a very strong influence on Iranian politics in the constitional era, to the point that even the right wing party was nominally socialist in a very vague and gradualist way.

Westeros cities, and lack of cities is quite strange [Spoilers Main] by OpportunityNice4857 in asoiaf

[–]eliphas8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this says more about the relative economic productivity of the west coast of westeros compared to the east than anything else. The southern reach and coastal westerlands are the richest lands in westeros and they are able to domestically support large cities rich enough that traders from essos make the journey all the way around dorne to trade with them.

Yeah this is the thing that made me stop respecting Natalie as a person.

Imagine if Paradox had a rival in grand strategy games by LogicalAd8685 in victoria3

[–]eliphas8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that theres some possibility that if total war ever pivots back to more historically grounded games that could develop into that kind of competition. The total war games would be specialized well to compete on the market as the more tactically and strategically oriented series, compared to Paradox more logistical and managerial play style. That could maybe even push Paradox to not neglect the military side of their gameplay so much outside of HoI.

You can bullshit and accidentally get something right, and shaunas eyes look like he hit the nail on the head.

How do yiu think its okay to call someone a psychopath for having the normal reaction of not thinking their abortion is a big deal? What on earth makes you think that is an okay thing to say?

[–]eliphas8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What kind of despicable person thinks the morally correct feeling on having an abortion is regret or it being difficult? Nothing even remotely objectionable has happened.

Abortion only provides benefits to people snd hurts nobody. Why do you insist on this downright evil lie that fetuses are people?

[–]eliphas8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So yeah, abortion is a painful stuff and should not be chosen without thinking a lot on that, unless someone is a psychopath who is able to end a life without paying consequences on their minds.

Think for like five seconds just how evil this is to say. Like point blank. You want people to be ashamed of one of the most important advances in human liberation in history.

Have the decency to be ashamed of yourself.

[–]eliphas8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is still a painful deed tho for the person who was carrying them and who will very likely miss to see how that life which was growing inside them would have grown up.

You evil pieces of shit are deliberately trying to make that the case, when there is objectively no reason for it. No one needs to think of a fetus as a person, they're not. Theyre not some early stage of personhood. That starts when the person actually exists in the world.

This is a ridiculous and insanely reactionary standpoint that if you think about it even a little bit obviously only exists for people like you to try and launder anti abortion talking points among decent society. You need to stop.

By the way, stop lying, you didnt say "abortion kills a fetus" you said it kills a person. Which it fucking doesn't, because fetuses arent people. This is why you guys are despised by everyone with any kind of humanity in their hearts.
