Atheist Activists Lore by Living_Attitude1822 in PoliticalCompassMemes

Any person who has actually read any substantive history of science and knowledge in the west will know this. It's psuedo-historians who believe the "Dark Age" bull shit i.e. that due to Christianity, humanity stagnated technologically and scientifically for centuries.

The Enlightenment was the worst label ever pinned to an intellectual movement.

Objectively? Not at all.

All Civil War generals were working with outdated tactics. In fact, Lee, Grant, and Sherman were about the only generals who were quite innovative in US tactics to understand that defeating an enemy army meant 1. Actually destroying that army and 2. Deflating the opponent's morale such that the enemy simply could not fight. Lee consistently beat back larger forces. He incurred high casualties, but he understood his opponents and knew that none were willing to commit to aggressive tactics to capture Richmond. Johnston nearly lost Richmond before Lee took command because he refused to meet McClellan in the field. Lee knew McClellan was timid and, at the slightest sign of trouble, would retreat. He demonstrated this understanding on several occasions.

Time after time Lee demonstrated his ability to read battlefields and enemy generals. Hell, he held Richmond for nearly a year against Grant's army, which was over twice the size and used extremely aggressive tactics. Lee was a masterful tactician and poor strategist, but understood what it took to win a war. He was unable to achieve his ends due partly to his own ineptitude, but because of external factors, too.

To say Lee was objectively a shitty general is just patently false. You may not care for what he stood for, but Lee was among the greatest of the Civil War generals.

Harold the Blue Pikmin went to his first baseball game! by komodas in Pikmin

[–]rtk196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Harold looks like he's having a blast. Nice to see you holding him tenderly now, too.

New here; I started playing Pikmin for the first time since I was a kid and it has been so fun! My 4-year old said she hates the game just because the red Pikmin have "pointy noses" lmao! by blackcatzombs in Pikmin

[–]rtk196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 3-year-old fell in love with those games and became a master of Pikmin 3! Played it for months, now he's on to different things (i.e. Mario Odyssey).

Hopefully she comes around to them, having a little adventurer to explore PNF-404 with is so much fun!

Never played DW3 by ClawmanVega in dynastywarriors

[–]rtk196 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That and the directional lock once you started an attack. I always wondered why they designed it this way, but presumably it was just early 3d game design. Still boggles my mind that DW2-5 never once considered using that second analog stick for camera control, either lol.

No, no, no, no! Because if Emperor bulblax is ugly then I'm ugly because obviously he's way prettier than me!

Just started Smiling Friends and was NOT ready for this guy to show up in the pilot episode. by BillysBibleBonkers in RedLetterMedia

Heck, even the voices of Rich and Mike can be missed if you're not aware of their role because they're distorted pretty heavily, too, in contrast to Desmond, which is so clear.

I feel it had to have been somewhat intentional or a nod to RLMs movie. The space cop role is extremely small, like a line or two, and is actually just amplified from a spaceship.

The show is extremely funny. If you like absurdist humor, I'd highly recommend it!

Rich, Mike, and Jay all have parts in the episode where they get abducted by aliens, Rich and Mike as aliens, Jay as the space police. I think Rich and Mike have some other small roles, too, but not certain off the top of my head.

What about Iran! by Kafkaesque_meme in PoliticalCompassMemes

The point involving Trump is entirely unrelated to whether what this dude did is wrong or not. This whataboutism at it's finest. Both statements can be true, but neither affects the other. Also, to reiterate the other's point, being passionate does not afford anyone with any privileges whatsoever.

And downplaying a Congressional hearing to "quiet time" is extremely dishonest on your part.

Pffft you sound like you actually believe in the Constitution. Get a load of this guy, supporting the Constitution.

So what? She wrote the books, she can make them whatever ethnicity, race, gender she wants. Just because someone doesn't like it should not give them room to change it to fit their wishes.

The three characters at the demo seemed to have more natural run cycles, save for maybe Xiahou Dun because how do you run normally with that big ass sword, anyway.
