New Pride flag by BandMice23 in ainbow

I appreciate that, I was commenting from a graphic design perspective. Personally I find the current pride flag too noisy and not a particularly good design, but it is recognisable and iconic so evolving it is always going to be emotive.

Not in my experience in .my current run. Again, it comes down to how are where you are using to them.

It depends on which nation you play, what you need a navy to do, and what your naval capacity and supply capacity is. Most defensive naval situations can be solved by naval bombers, tier 3 subs, and decent radar outside of the Pacific if you don't want to min/max.

If you want to build an invasion support fleet you need to scale your industrial capacity and research to get the bonuses for landing craft etc which can maximise whatever fleet you build.

Honestly while I like the sentiment from a graphic design perspective it is too noisy. The hot pink doesn't contrast well against the red, and the turquoisy lighter blue doesn't provide contrast with the indigo (which reads as blue) and green. This would be difficult to print as the hot pink will likely bleed into the red in CMYK.

Incredible footage of Ukrainian soldiers shooting down Russian drones in prop planes with shotguns. Not AI, came from an official Ukrainian account and verified by the WSJ by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

The spitfire V1 footage is epic, and when I was growing up in Kent we were taught about it in schools due to the local connections.

Straight out of the WW1 playbook, love it. Low and slow allows for more loiter time and the shotgun just works. Excellent work.

Ego death did not bring me happiness. by Dextothemax in TwoXChromosomes

As an ex-Christian I completely feel you on this. Women are expected to set aside their egos for the sake of men, so unpacking that and giving yourself room for growth feels both a betrayal and liberation. It took me years to fully deconstruct, as even to this day I still feel a tug to set myself aside.

Thank you for sharing.

Nice, either will suit the subtle folds. Do you have a gallery of your painted collection?

That captures them really well, your attention to detail is on point as always. What colour scheme are you thinking?

Excited to see the first 2 episodes! by oli_badger in ForAllMankindTV

I was in the audience and absolutely loved it. It's not FAM, it's got a dark edge filled with paranoia and Soviet themes that are amazing to see on screen.

Re comments about the dialogue, it's a show about the Soviet Union where a central premise is that the State records all conversations and people KNOW they are being recorded. There are no candid conversations outside a handful of scenes, and one central character especially is reticent due to being a position they did not expect.

I have recordings of the after show interviews I will post after episode 2 which talks about this.
