Step 1: don’t invade poland.

Step 2: stop being Nazis

There, that’s how Hitler could have won.

The answer is a whole-society approach, AND heavy regulation. You provide information from a whole host of sources, government and private, and you basically ban disinformation (read: advertising) from contradicting or subverting it.

Right on red

Not a cyclist, I see.

When I was a dumb kid, me and other dumb kids found some paving tiles and decided to break them by throwing them in the air. Unfortunately, I was really bad at aiming, caught it on my head and caused permanent spinal damage.

The doctor recommended strength training, because my muscles would overtaxed by compensating for my wonky spine, which I promptly ignored because, again, I was a dumb kid and girls don’t lift weights. So from age 10 to 19 ish I basically had debilitating neck pains every few months which had me stuck in bed on painkillers and muscle relaxants.

After 9 years of being an idiot, I started listening to the doctors, lifted weights, and basically never had a sore neck again. The main downside is that clothes shopping is hard now.

Well, apparently not.

And damage from chlorine gas NEVER heals. That reduced lung capacity is for the rest of your now-shortened life.

Let me throw you a little binary choice set:

A1: HR are great, and I trust them.

A2: HR are great, and I don’t trust them.

B1: HR sucks, and I trust them.

B2: HR sucks, and I don’t trust them.

Obviously option A1 and A2 have the same outcome, while B1 has significantly worse outcomes than B2. What’s worse is that, by your own post, HR can go from A to B in an instant, because they’re following orders.

Obviously it’s in my own best interest that I district all HR.

So we’ve seen

And extremely predictable

It was on the moonbase. Just like Shatner

Including a ton of different shows!

Ukrainian drones are apparently made out of antimatter or something.

Whatever the fuck we wanted? What a weird question…

It’s completely normal behaviour, it just turns out that normal people are fucking morons.

Ah yes, I too start my day by snorting half a cup of tapwater.

This is basically why the Netherlands doesn’t add fluoride to drinking water, even though it would be a great idea to improve health at basically zero cost.

You fundamentally can’t medicate people without their informed consent. So we don’t, and we add fluoride to toothpaste, which is more expensive and not as effective, but it’s much more ethical.

If it’s one thing they know how to do, it’s throwing materiel and warm bodies at a conflict till the opponent is overwhelmed.

There’s a massive difference between the Soviet union in 1940 and Russia today. For example:

Warm bodies are a lot more scarce than they used to be. In the 1930s, the Soviet economy was massively more forgiving than today. A LOT of them were basically little better than subsistence farmers, and agriculture was rapidly industrializing. This made for an amazing opportunity to extract a LOT of manpower from the population. And much of that force was “frontoviki”, which is basically the lightest of light infantry, a guy with a rifle, helmet and some spare ammo. That’s not how you wins wars today. Today, Russia has a massively aging population, and many of the younger people who could get out, got out.

Material is a lot more scarce than it used to be. The Soviet Union included Ukraine, and that had a LOT of factories, which were moved to the east when Germany invaded them. But back in 1941, you could make a tank basically with a rivet gun and a couple of wrenches. They were building airplanes quite literally in farmers barns. None of that applies anymore, you need massively more technology, and throwing more people at it won’t get you, for example, more jet engines, radar absorbent materials or advanced night vision sights.

The lend-lease is going to the other side this time. People hugely underestimate just what an insane amount of material came from the other allies. The majority of high octane fuel and almost all airplane fuel was American. Almost every locomotive running in 1945 was American. Every other bullet and bomb fired was American. Every third truck was American, and many of Soviet ones used american or British engines. Basically every radar and sonar set was British. They’re still digging up British Hurricane fighters in Ukraine that the soviets buried rather than giving back. The allies sent Russia almost half a kilo of food per Soviet soldier per day.

Is that a thing? Or is it just Baader-Meinhof

Exactly. Martial arts will make you live longer, not because you can kick ass in a fight, but because it is generally a great way to maintain cardiovascular health.

If need to train for an unarmed fight, I’d personally suggest the 400m sprint.

Isn’t mango super wet on pizza?
