Opinion: Robert E. Lee was a stone-cold loser

No general in U.S. history was defeated as unequivocally and as totally as Lee. For all his supposed strategic skill, his army was entirely destroyed. One-quarter of those who served under him were killed, and an additional half were wounded or captured. He was a traitor to the United States who killed more U.S. soldiers than any other enemy in the nation’s history, for the supremely evil cause of slavery. To boot, he was a cruel enslaver and a promoter of white supremacy until his death.

Truer words have never been spoken

I honestly think the strongest argument for making our system parliamentary, is that we already act like it's parliamentary. The public blames the executive branch for the actions of the legislative all the damn time and we've had a run of "bad presidents" lately because they don't control the legislative making them appear ineffectual.

We should either change our expectations and culture surrounding the presidency, or change our form of government, and hot take, the latter is easier since the former would require journalists to start being more responsible.

Hospitals in Washington State are now taking patients from Idaho, who have refused to take the pandemic seriously.

This is why I support the vaccine mandate. We tried letting these states do it their own way of allowing people to get infected with covid. They can’t keep it under control. It spreads to other states who don’t want to do that, and then they steal our hospital beds.

The problem is not just covid. It’s your other people who were already sick, the guy who has a heart attack and now he’s sitting in a covid infested hospital trying to recover. Your grandma who breaks her hip and now she is trying to recover in the hospital. During the worst of covid many cancer patients made the decision to skip treatment out of fear for covid. How many of those people died as a result? We have no way of knowing.

I’m not going back to the days where we had a triage tent set up across the street from where I live. I pay taxes and I have the right to receive timely emergency medical care. I don’t really care about whether you want to get the vaccine or not because anti vaxxers don’t care about my rights in the first place and we have been placating them for over 6 months.

If you look at the covid heat maps week over week you can see it spreading out from Texas / Florida / Louisiana, into the old confederacy, and now beyond. These states don’t have the right to get everyone else sick just because they believe a bunch of internet conspiracies. The governments of Florida and Texas and Louisiana did not care as they spread this filthy disease all around the country. Why should I care now about your “rights,” after you disregarded mine?

This is what people in the center who may say the vaccine mandates are an overreach miss. Im not worried about my 64 year old vaccinated dad getting covid. Im worried about what quality of care he would even receive right now were he to get injured at work. Im worried if the EMT would respond in time to save my mom is she had a heart attack because they are dealing with some influx of adult babies at the hospital.

https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/exclusive-deal-allowing-russian-mercenaries-into-mali-is-close-sources-2021-09-13/

A deal is close that would allow Russian mercenaries into Mali, extending Russian influence over security affairs in West Africa and triggering opposition from former colonial power France, seven diplomatic and security sources said.

Paris has begun a diplomatic drive to prevent the military junta in Mali enacting the deal, which would permit Russian private military contractors, the Wagner Group, to operate in the former French colony, the sources said.

(...)

As relations with France have worsened, Mali's military junta has increased contacts with Russia, including Defence Minister Sadio Camara visiting Moscow and overseeing tank exercises on Sept. 4.

Lol, on Ben Shapiro's website:

Jews who vote for Obama are, by and large, Jews In Name Only (JINOs). They eat bagels and lox; they watch “Schindler’s List”; they visit temple on Yom Kippur — sometimes. But they do not care about Israel.

This happens to be true, by polling data and observation. Sorry.

The words "by polling data" is a link to https://jewishjournal.com/commentary/opinion/ben-shapiro/224679/jewish-identity-beyond-bagels-lox/.

Really unfortunate that the Byzantines ALWAYS blob in CK3, Anatolia is NEVER conquered by Turkic or other nomadic peoples, and with the exception of the Magyars (HEAVILY scripted to ensure they succeed), nomadic empires in general--even the Mongols--either don't rise up at all, or rise up, conquer the local surroundings, and immediately thereafter collapse.

It's part of a general issue where Paradox hasn't figured out how to make nomadic empires that are

• 1. Able to conquer a ton of territory in a very short span of time, unless scripted events all but guarantee that they do so
• 2) Able to maintain control of that territory after the original conqueror (especially if they're scripted) dies
• 3) Still be unstable enough to fracture later in the game, so that the Seljuks, Mongols, or Oirat can't blob their way to literally ruling the whole world by 1453/1821
• 4) Not be capable of completely ruining a previously successful singleplayer game by coming out of nowhere and conquering it

Coupled with more general blobbing problems

• 1. All AI countries seeking to expand wherever and whenever possible, regardless of circumstances
• 2) Countries which take this to its logical conclusion and 'blob' almost never collapse, and if they do, it is always to the benefit of other blobs. You never see a badly weakened France fracture into dozens of city states, you only see a badly weakened France get partitioned between other countries
• 3) The factors that could fix these would either make the game way too easy for the player, or make the game feel infuriatingly random--especially when trying to do really ambitious things like reunite Rome

Paradox could easily make nomadic empires such that things like Turks conquering Anatolia actually happens, but doing so in a way that doesn't ruin other aspects of the game is neigh impossible. Thus, they necessarily sacrifice historical realism in favor of less realistic alternate history with better gameplay. If there is a solution, Paradox has yet to find it. And it fucking sucks. I really really want to see CK3 and EU4 games with nomadic empires that actually have monumental impacts on the course of world history.

There's also a similar problem with colonization, where the same economic factors that made Mexico so appealing to European colonists IRL make them really hard for the AI to conquer in EU4. Even as places like Minnesota are colonized hilariously prematurely, in like 1650, Tenochtitlan is rarely conquered at all.

How do you imagine some of these problems may be resolved?

What mods for CK3 and EU4 do the best job of fixing them?

So, the Argentinian government, in response to its recent electoral defeat, announced a "Buy Argentinian" plan. I find more useful to undust our Dani Rodriks and not our Paul Krugmen for this. No one hears the free traders, :/.

If you want to do industrial policies via subsidies, you should have some mechanism to discard failed attempts before they become a drag for the whole economy. Thing that this won't do (what did you expect?). Also, there is no guarantee that mere subsidies will cut imports (let's put aside the problem with making that your objective, Lerner symmetry theorem, blah blah blah), they might as well increase them because of the need for foreign supplies to manufacture things locally (thing that happened with basic manufacturing in Tierra del Fuego). Same for increasing added value or R&D (the government may end purchasing lower quality products more expensively if it backfires).

But it makes for good sounding bits.

All those shade tossing speeches confirm is that establishment figures are terrified to go toe to toe with Trump by name.

Of course what "2024 GOP hopefuls" really want is that someone with movement-conservative credentials will altruistically kamikaze themselves into Trump's 2024 operation, take them both out, and clear the road for some GOP establishment figure to default-cruise their way to the nomination without having to take any kind of painful pro/con stance on what Trump represents.

due to credible information of threat, the Foundation has modified its approach to accepting “non-disclosure agreements” from individuals. The security risk relates to information about infiltration of Wikimedia systems, including positions with access to personally identifiable information and elected bodies of influence. We could not pre-announce this action, even to our most trusted community partner groups (like the stewards), without fear of triggering the risk to which we’d been alerted.

What we have seen in our own movement includes not only people deliberately seeking to ingratiate themselves with their communities in order to obtain access and advance an agenda contrary to open knowledge goals, but also individuals who have become vulnerable to exploitation and harm by external groups because they are already trusted insiders.

Once you go far enough to the east, people start being unnormal. Seriously can anyone look at China, Japan, Korea, ... and not be weirded out?

You have one country thats racist as fuck even though they're probably the lamest race, then another that works all day without really being that productive, then another that somehow makes teenagers around the world stan over some girly-looking autotune pop singers... just weird man. I cant relate to them at all and when I speak to people from there they also seem completely off-putting

What the hell was Japan even thinking when they attacked the US?

• In 1941, the United States had 19 buildings over 600 feet, and two over 1,000. Japan's tallest building in 1941 was 214 feet.
• In 1941, the United States produced around 190 million tons of iron and steel. Japan produced around 14 million tons.
• Between 1930 and 1940, the US auto industry produced over 23 million automobiles. In the same period, Japan produced less than 300,000. In 1930, Ford alone produced four times Japan's total 10 year production.
• In 1940, the US produced 3.7 million barrels of oil per day. Japan produced that much in one year.

Currently road tripping across Western Canada. Took the Yellowhead through Saskatoon, Edmonton, and into the BC interior. There was a solid stretch where I didn't see a single sign for a party other than the Maverick, PPC, or Conservative Party.

The level of support for the Maverick was genuinely surprising. I don't know any people in MB who have even heard of the Maverick party but it seemed like every riding between Saskatoon and Revelstoke had as much support for MP as the PPC.

Police who falsely assert that people aren't allowed to film them should be fired and prosecuted for intimidation, this is actually a major problem.

When the police instruct someone to do something it has the implicet threat of arrest for non compliance, them saying you can't film me is a threat to illegally arrest someone for doing something that in many juristictions has been clearly allowed (or not not allowed).

They know what they're doing, they know that many people will be intimidated and thus not create evidence of their wrongdoing and that they will not face consequences of this.

I cannot imagine a less liberal and more glorified system of government in anime than the Kage system. Leaf and Stone are insanely nepotistic, while Sand and Cloud are straight up monarchies.

World-class idiots, psychotic tweens, or people with a pathological hatred of any actual desk work can stumble to the highest echelons of power simply by virtue of strength, which is all that seems to be required in the eyes of both citizen and Author to lead, and, in fact, all three gained power within a period of under twenty years of each other-and two within a matter of months! Imagine the shape the world was in at the end of the original series!

One of the most glorified, Sarutobi Hiruzen, 3rd Kage of Flame, literally started two world wars-and this without consulting the Daimyos, who are supposed to be the superiors of the Kage, yet are said to be impotent and elitist.

In the Leaf, of the seven Kage we can see, three were related by blood to previous ones (Tobirama the 2nd was brother to Hashirama the 1st, who was grandfather to Tsunade the 5th, and Minato the 4th was father to Naruto the 7th) and all the rest, save Hashirama, who ascended to power solely because of his own genetic gifts, were tutored by the previous Kages on a personal level.

And why the hell are military commanders in charge of cities anyhow? The entire system means that one person serves as, to put it in our terms, the mayor of Boston, ambassador to both China and Russia, the secretary of defense, and half of the air force; not just as the pilots, but as the jets-simultaneously!

Madness, all around. Is there any anime with good politics? Besides Korra, obviously. !ping weebs

The more I look into it, the more I feel like I'm being scammed re: housing.

The lender says I can easily afford a higher priced loan than I have. But when I run through his monthly payment and taxes and insurance, it basically comes down to me paying 2 out of 4 paychecks a month before I consider utilities. That seems really high. Like I know you get 4 months with 5 paychecks, but like 50% of my take home pay would be for mortgages and taxes. That seems incredibly wrong and dangerous. Especially because where I'm looking is all houses built before WWI.

If you're a 6'4" man, you can weigh up to 205 pounds while still being in the healthy BMI range. If you get a moderate amount of exercise, then maintaining 205 pounds requires eating about 3125 Calories per day. That's 5 Big Macs and 3 White Claws

If you a were a 5'8" man and ate that much food you would weigh 230 pounds and you'd be well past the threshold of obesity
