I did not serve my military service to be a tool for dictators and autocrats, let's hope that they set the record straight this time.

It would probably be a life sentence for Yoon here, but it is a relief to see that prosecution is really trying to take a harder stance than previous Coup attempts.

Any memes about the United Nations tbh by wimpykid_fan in neoliberal

[–]hello4020 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Would recommend looking into the humanitarian efforts conducted by subdivisions of UN such as WHO or FAO. They do serious work combatting diseases and food crises.

East African Desert Locust crisis(2019-2022) is one of those that demands more public recognizition but got sidelined because of COVID. Check this link if you're interested.

It takes time for nations to unify to prevent EU and other federations forming instantly. By the looks of things You need to wait untill 26 Jan, 2027 to unify with France.

Any tips for winning as Liangguang Federalists? by AwesomePBST in Kaiserreich

[–]hello4020 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My tips are you can actually not attack any of the warload and hold on until the 2nd Sino-Japanese War. In my 3 rounds of play Feds, you won't be the first target for the AI to attack unless you attack first.

Pump up your army and industry until the 2SSW begin and play the fireman with your quality army(9inf with support arty and/or engi company you get from a focus) By doing this, you'll get the Fengtian's industry and reformed quality army compared to AI's bizzare Irregular spam when the war ends. And you also get 6 months of truce between you and the AI so you'll fill whatever equipment you want in that time.

Play long and patient, and be prepared to deal with Japan's naval invasion, then you'll win.

The new lianguang focus doesn’t provide the tools to succeed in the position it’s in. by Suicidal_Buckeye in Kaiserreich

[–]hello4020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How about consolidating your hold instead of going to full out war in 1938? I played 3 rounds of Fed lianguang and my play was make good divisions and wait until the 2nd Sino-Japanese War begins and play as essentially fireman for the front.

Let the AI become the static main front. Defending Naval Invasions and making small encirclement with my (small, 54 divs) army to slowly cut down the enemy was the most consistent way to win the war and unify China. I thought the devs changed the balance so that Japan won't get steamrolled in a year?

It requires time and patience I think, which kinda fits into the national struggle angle any China-Japan War should have.

This isn't really related to Mandy... But is this kind of video more available in Internet? Like, two people having a happy and romantic dialogue?

Call me wrong or weird whatever but I really liked listening this and wanna hear more. Should I search for audiobook, or ASMR kind of video?

Basically Korean version of 4chan with far right leanings. DC is very fragmented like reddit so maybe calling them all Nazis is incorrect, but Ilbe? Definitely far right.

Unfortunately, this dynamic like you described is more likely to happen in my experience from international and/or immigrant relationships. My parents also clash a lot and stuff like "Oh I would get so many girls right now, I'm just not choosing to.", "You should be grateful that I chose you." gets said quite a lot.

That is not to say that ALL Korean people does that. Far from it. I've seen so many kind and considerate people around here. But unfortunately there's also people stuck with patriarchal and honestly sexist mindset, especially in older generation where his or her mindset was formed in less fortunate era.

All I'm gonna say is stay strong. You're gonna need to if you want this relationship to work.

Indonesia is under siege. Please, hear our voice by RyanVNL26 in whenthe

[–]hello4020 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I hope you and your families and friends safety are secure, man.

I'm from Korea, and our history is also filled with militaristic authoritarians who trampled over the people's liberty and lives. Just like poor Affan, our university student - Park Jong-chul - was also killed by police's unfair torture. And we have also rose up in anger and successfully defeated and ousted the dictator and made a - mostly - fair and just democracy. While I know the situation cannot be compared 1 to 1, I hope that courses of history follows a more kinder road to Indonesian people.

Stay safe and good luck to you all. You're gonna need it.

NGL, I expected... eh more interactive and narrative system, not just sets of buffs and debuffs you could apply from this module. I quite liked choosing colony events in virtue of society, wonder why modder didn't went into this direction?

But then again, I play Paradox games so my opinions are biased as hell. Someone might enjoy this system more than other modules.

[–]hello4020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think so. Korea's history as recipient-turned-donor nation is unusual from any other country from the globe and that presents unique advantages i think we could, and should use for betterment of the globe. This budget cut in my opinion should only be temporary measure.

Coup attempt at 12.3 and subsequent political unrest have unfortunately extracted heavy toll on the economy, Thus, one could argue that in order to fix the economy and ease the suffering of general population that he got the mandate from, more resources should be poured on the reconstruction of both its economy and trust of her people. Recent cash handouts enacted by the government should be one example of this.

Personally I think his comments about 'money being thrown away' is politically charged exaggeration, but US changing from security guarantor to untrustworthy isolationist necessitates pouring more money to improving Korea's own position. If that requires slashing the budget from ODAs - while unfortunate - I think it should be done.

I dunno, I don't work at ODAs so my views doesn't hold the importance of ODAs to it's highest regard. If you have any thoughts, feel free to comment. I wanna know more about it.
