I really, really don't want photorealism in games
especially now that they're making all the characters fat and ugly
if I wanted to see realistic fat and ugly people I would go to walmart -

ukraine's sum total tactical victories the entire war boil down to displacing the russian line briefly with no lasting consequence and invading kursk, which will probably accelerate their inevitable loss by months because they needed those forces on the line
the criticism of russia's performance in the war essentially boils down to "they didn't achieve a completely flawless victory quickly enough for my taste"
and what is that compared with? the US military? our generals are directing the fuckin war on ukraine's side -

@theorytoe >take kiev in 3 days
except russia never said that
do you know where that came from? I do. it came from a RAND (western thinktank) report written in 2016, and was based on an entirely different scenario
so essentially, the west made up a ludicrous win condition for russia, and then declared russia incompetent when it didn't accomplish it
russia *didn't even try* to take kiev. they pressured it for the purposes of negotiation, then left rather than attack it. they don't *want* to attack it in force, and if they did, kiev would be a burnt out ruin by now
this is what I mean, if you're just casually observing all you're going to hear is nonsense like this -

people say this shit but in the real world we live in, the federal government never stops grasping for more and more control, trying to bring literally everything under its own umbrella
they want to be able to dictate every little thing we do, but then when we ask them to actually take responsibility with the authority they claim they pass the buck right back down to us
and in the rebuilding process, the government is going to be a HUGE hindrance again. instead of being able to build perfectly safe but primitive homes for cheap to tide them over for a few years, the state and feds are going to demand that the victims jump through every bureaucratic hoop and adhere to every last little detail of the latest building code -

guys I know how to construct a specific search query
but if I'm giving the search engine two nouns, an adjective and a year I should not be getting top results that only relate to the first noun
search engines gave good results without needing to use quotes and modifier tags for 20 years -

the other side of this coin is the professionals won't save you if they think it's too risky. they'll just write you off and won't lose any sleep over it
the brave amateur will probably give it a shot -

many things worth doing cannot be done without risk
it's not a coincidence that we stopped achieving very much when the obsession with safety and fear of risk took over our culture -

@NotImportant This is frankly very naive. I have been involved in government organizations and I know exactly how it goes. They want to have control of the whole situation, and it doesn't matter if they're incapable of actually managing it. Bureaucratic bullshit takes precedence over actually getting things done 100% of the time.
If FEMA, TEMA, the NC equivalent, etc. didn't exist the recovery would still happen without them. If it takes them 5 days to show up and then they want to take charge, the locals would be better off without their "help".
However do you suppose anything got done before "incident management" faggotry came along? -

@NotImportant If you want to define things that way, then the incident was already being managed by the people on the ground and the government dipshits who showed up should've been hat in hand asking what they needed.
Of course the government is going to have to be involved. The government itself is the biggest obstacle to recovery, and government interference both past and present will contribute about 95% to the total cost. Nothing can happen without the bloated leech of the government taking its cut. That does not make it a good thing.
The very problems you're citing in terms of producing goods were caused directly by the US government over the last several decades. -

the tennessee emergency management agency has ~100 employees
that's not even enough to realistically help one town let alone half a state -

@WashedOutGundamPilot small planes would be less expensive, there would be a lot more of them, and there would be a lot more pilots if it wasn't a gay boutique hobby being kept that way by many of the people in it
same as any other gay boutique hobby. amateur radio, machineguns, take your pick -

@john_rando @WashedOutGundamPilot more of an elitist bullshit attitude from them than actual cost. but still, it's not a welcoming group
a sense of exclusivity is often the appeal to such people -

I'm sure archaeologists were just about to dig up whatever random ass patch of public park this guy was walking around in
in fact I think we should outlaw digging holes or disturbing the earth at all -

@lonestarr @transgrammaractivist The fundamental problem you have in trying to "appeal to women" is what will improve their lives, is not what they want. Trying to actually help them is seen as "the patriarchy" trying to "oppress" them.
What exactly are women *lacking*? They have just about every privilege they've ever asked for, and no responsibility to go with it. They receive tremendous assistance from government at all levels, and they're favored by all organizations. This has made them incredibly miserable on the whole and if you try to take any of it away, they flip the fuck out.
There's no point in even talking about this, quite frankly. It's not a conversation that can even be had because just pointing out the facts gets the observer (me) labeled a woman-hater. -

what's the skill here exactly, you just start at the beginning and keep going until the end
are their brains too underdeveloped to let them keep events and characters in their mind so they can follow the story? because that's a much bigger problem than being bad at reading -
