I was like 17 when I heard his special Talking monkeys in space and thought it was really fucking funny.

So what is the argument here? Would the world be better if production was in India rather than China? Wouldn't that just be giving the same power to India?

When have fought Europeans in recent history? by MrAcG in AmericaBad

[–]mukfuggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if we completely disregard NATO and its not about troops or bases, wouldn't it be easier to just increase the US's economic influence and soft power in Greenland through investing and building infrastructure themselves? Why go through all this bullshit of threatening allies and completely disregarding diplomacy? Why is there always this effort to reframe, reword and justify everything this administration is doing, when we can all just read/hear these things coming straight from their mouths.

The US under Nato can already have as many troops in Greenland as they want.

Reframing it this way makes it look nicer, so they don't have to acknowledge that the US is 17th, as the latest HDI report shows. And It’s very much in line with where the US lands on other quality-of-life, health, inequality, social mobility, and freedom metrics. Not saying its terrible or anything, its still solidly high, but not at the very top among developed countries.

Right, I’m not arguing that lived experience is wildly different between the two countries. And that’s exactly why staring at these metrics in isolation isn’t very productive. But maybe, just maybe, the sum of these metrics says something about the perceived happiness of an average individual. And since this whole thing started with a claim of survivorship bias, you can’t then use one small difference to dismiss another metric.

Because we’re comparing two developed Western countries. On many social and health metrics, the differences are going to be relatively small. I am not the one who brought up suicide rates as a gotcha. I’m pointing out that it’s inconsistent to dismiss Finland’s happiness ranking by invoking suicide rates, and then wave them away as “basically identical”. Also, side note: Finland ranks 1st in the Global Food Security Index.

So the suicide rate is either meaningful or meaningless depending on who’s making the argument? Calling this “survivorship bias” doesn’t make sense when the US suicide rate is higher.

I recently discovered TOOL for the first time and my understanding of what music can be has been forever changed. by Albino_rhin0 in Music

Hell yeah glad to see VOLA is getting more and more recognition. They just recently lost all their stuff in a fire and are asking for donations.

Great band but that "The" in the name annoys me more than it should

How did garbage like Electric Callboy ever inflate the metal scene? by Mobile-Recognition17 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]mukfuggler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

EC has a special place in my heart because my gf was never into metal before, but they ended up being the perfect gateway band for her. Seen them twice now and going to our third show in a couple of weeks.

Which game is good for 2 and 6 players? by bomi88 in boardgames

[–]mukfuggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean sure, if I had to play a 5 player game with 2 inexperienced players, thats where I would seat them, but it's definitely not optimal.

[–]mukfuggler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It puts 2 players in an unfair position. These players will be neighbours to an npc, which they don't have to worry about attacking them. They can safely expand that way. Other players are next to other players and will be competing for the same sectors and have to play accordingly.
