A vegan, an atheist, and a veteran walk into a bar. Veteran immediately brags about how many brown civilians he killed and demands a discount because his killing spree “traumatized” poor him.

Yeah he could’ve killed more slave owners

It’s bullshit how you can’t just ambush the king and win the game. In fact you can’t capture the king at all? What kind of stupid battle is this?

If you’re seeing this, you’re full of shit :)

The world is not black and white but all three are very far on the white side. “Centrist” is one of the biggest misnomers of all time. Truly left wing parties don’t exist in the West so our “centre” is nowhere near the centre.

Most of the anti-LGBTQ+ rethoric in AES countries is cultural and has existed long before socialism, not due to socialism. Can’t speak for other cultures but as a Chinese immigrant in Canada, I’ve never met more LGBTQ+ phobic people than anticommunist Chinese immigrants, namely older ones. That’s literally their biggest complaint about Canadian culture and they compare it to the communism they “escaped” all the time. Word for word what your white boomer uncle says but with some of that toxic “if you dare disagree with your elders you’re the scum of the earth” traditional Chinese mentality sprinkled in.

but it still feels like the a lot of their cultural exports haven’t cracked the “just exotic enough for broad global appeal” that big-brand anime or K-pop have hit.

Because China doesn’t give a shit about what Westerners think of their media. Most Japanese and Korean media, certainly the big name big budget ones, are very intentional and strategic about capturing the Western market because it’s part of their business model and they depend on Western revenue to get a sufficient return. I’m part of the Chinese diaspora and my parents have to VPN into China or rely on pirate reuploads hosted on YouTube or otherwise outside China just to watch their favourite shows because the Western entertainment market is irrelevant to the producing companies.

Same with games actually. Genshin and similar are specifically designed for the Western market and AFAIK isn’t even a drop in the bucket compared to the ecosystem of Chinese domestic games that you’ve never heard of because they don’t get marketed anywhere else. China really doesn’t give nearly as much of a shit about pop culture “influence” beyond its borders as most Western countries do.

Because people who brag about that have historically always defeated the commies. Yep, always.

No, that’s definitely alpha behaviour. Your scheduler is poorly optimised because it’s the first build that managed to compile.

QwQ

From a worldbuilding perspective it fucking sucks. Like if you’re going to build a strawman commie totalitarian state at least make it interesting.

how you can keep 13[.5] tonnes of an incredibly dense object in an apartment

Gold’s density is 19320 kg/m³

13500 kg / 19320 kg/m³ = 0.6988 m³

Rounding up to 1 m³ since gold bars don’t stack perfectly.

So basically a closet can store it all. And people like this tend not to give a shit about or even be aware of silly things like “safety” or “structural load” so I wouldn’t be surprised if the building’s fucked from this.

Edit: Actually I got curious so let’s calculate some more.

According to this website, concrete can have a compressive strength of anywhere from 5 MPa to 60 MPa. I don’t know what they make apartments out of but let’s go middle of the road and say 30 MPa, which is the first category where you need a design mix (mix, let cure, and test, presumably) and not a hard and fast ratio.

Assuming the gold is stacked at 1m by 1m by 1m (so it has a 1 m² base).

An online converter tells me that 13500 kg is 132389.802 N, or 0.1324 MN. Pa is N per m² so it would be 0.1324 MPa, a small fraction of the concrete’s rated load by my non-physicist non-engineer guess.

Obviously most of the load of the concrete is taken up by the building itself, so I don’t know how much load in the apartment it can tolerate, and this also assumes the gold pile is resting directly on a vertical beam and not on a horizontal beam without anything underneath. But from the looks of it (again, not an engineer), it wouldn’t be nearly enough to immediately collapse the building, just eat away at the safety margins and reduce the building’s lifespan.

Feeding this piece of shit is a further theft of public resources.

Also, with that much diverted money I guarantee you he contributed to someone’s death either through his corruption directly or through depriving them of public resources they deserved. And murder should always get the death penalty, no exceptions.
