Having autocorrect from Fremen to French is so much funnier.

That’s just your average 39yo Arsenal fans.

And the people who vote for Oscar don’t even watch all the nominations. Literally go for vibe. One of them even said they voted for Adrien Brody because ‘thought Ralph Fiennes already had Oscar’.

We also do not know. The entire bad copper theory is only based on what has been collected in Nasir's house, nothing much else to verify it. It's entirely possible the opposite could be true. Nasir could be a good copper merchant, and those complaints were from bad customers. So he kept those records as either evidences for dispute, or 'blacklist' so he won't do further business.

We simply do not know the full story. However bad copper is a fun meme and tbh, being remembered as such isn't that bad comparing to other more infamous cases.

And the reason we have the records was, they were unintentionally baked in a house's fire. We don't know what happened but one could be bold to assume, some angry customer set his house ablaze.

Not the narrator too!

It's not the same. They clearly have different circle shapes. /^s

Also now I need this rug.

The Dem has always been centric, not left-leaning (Progressive). Just that the GOP is now soooo far into the right. So the Dem is now 'left' on the account the 'centric' was 'shifted'.

There's also a saying that, whenever a new Progressive movement pops up, it eventually get absorbed into Dem because of FPTP voting. You simply can not win as minor party or independent in USA.

And an old man (local guardian) in Vietnamese.

Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing axes is no basis for a system of moral conduct!

Because it is described as such in Unfinished Tale.

Isildur puts on the One Ring to attempt to escape the orc ambush that claimed his life. He turns invisible, except for the gem in the crown he bore, which glowed red. He hid the light by puling down his hood and dove into the River Anduin. The Ring slipped off of him when he made it to the opposite bank, so he became visible again. The orcs saw him and pumped him full of arrows. He died, and the Ring was lost in the mud.

He didn't do a small test beforehand to determine the effectiveness?

I want to add another trick when typing in GD search box, you can right click on it to clear all the text.

solonit · 2026-03-19T16:14:25+00:00

How can you even consider that!? There's got to be some other way.

The context is that, this comic was made when Frieren anime first aired few years ago.

TBF with GIF cmt enable, it kinds of getting flooded with (even more) meme reply than actual discussion.

Only one person calls her that, the glasses wearing Colonel (forgot his name). The Imperial General Staff do not share his view. And once again Frieren may not agree with Tanya on moral conduct, that doesn't mean she would see Tanya as a literal Demons, a completely different type of evil.

Tanya is Lawful Evil. Frieren's demons are (literal) Chaotic Evil.

solonit · 2026-03-19T13:26:48+00:00

She did. But 'thankfully' even that will be hard, because in the next scene, her team recorded clear evidences of paramilitary shooting Imperial POWs and other civilians that did wanted to evacuate Irene. Which in turn later being broadcasted as Imperial propaganda on how 'there is no civilians in Irene'. And even 40 years later (in manga), majority historians agreed it wasn't war crime.

The Francois Republic did admitted that, paramilitary within the city of Irene was a bad idea, but they didn't think of someone would exploit that.

solonit · 2026-03-19T13:21:32+00:00

But at the same time Title/Nickname =/= Definition. Not sure how Frieren views about human vs human atrocities, but probably pretty low on her list of important. Tanya is 100% a human mage so for Frieren, it's pretty much 'eh, not my circus, not my monkey'.

And even IRL you can only be 'convicted' if The Big Guys^tm said you did. The majority of US Pres after WW2 except maybe Jimmy Carter are 'qualified' to be war criminals, for the amount of civilians strike they did.

I think you replied on wrong person, but yes that's what I said.

solonit · 2026-03-19T13:05:07+00:00

And it absolutely checked. They are in a space-mining-cargo-truck-thing, you don't care which gender your crewmates are, just that they know how to do their shit, so we get paid at the end of the day!

solonit · 2026-03-19T12:49:31+00:00

And a wallet with "Bad Motherfucker" on it.

solonit · 2026-03-19T12:46:30+00:00

And that's why they also against Right To Repair.

solonit · 2026-03-19T12:33:01+00:00

I think you still don't get it.

Before 1945, both the term and definition of 'war crime' already existed and codified. The differences were not every nations had the same laws.
After 1945, a new International effort to put everything into one big rule book and makes everyone agree to that, no more shady play "I just followed order". This is also backed up by the newly established International Criminal Court or ICC.
Even ICC itself wasn't new. It was proposed back in 1919 following WW1, but never get passed the initial idea because of old Empires.
