How about you address his logic instead of going full ad personum.
You likely see this as a ramblings because barely anyone thinks about confucianism in modern times.
But it was state enforced for a while in multiple countries and left it’s mark in strict social hierarchies, blind subservience to one’s parents and focus on collective and ignoring individual needs and problems. Those reverberate in modern times and make the countries what they are now.
About the city-builder early game experience - you pretty much nailed my feelings about the game.
I think the weakness of the game is that one needs to experience other strategy games (I played very little of city builders, but a lot of grand strategies and 4X) and have some level of self reflection or meta thinking to be immediately attracted to this concept (without trying out the game first).
Most people who didn’t notice that micromanaging already won late game is the bad, tedious part, would be reluctant to accept the inevitable destruction of their cities.
I think that there’s an untapped potential in increased complexity of the central City. What I mean is that if there was some metagame city building it would attract a bit more players.
Against the Storm
It’s a pretty fun rougelike rougelite city builder in a world where it always rains and every few decades a malevolent eldritch storm destroys most of the civilization.
Bribes with a noted demand to give them infinite duration patents and IP rights probably.
If they quit for another job it means that people are heavily underpaid for the amount of effort, stress, knowledge and experience they have. It’s not that those who quit are worth less. It’s those who are left that are undervaluing their hard work, but are too used to the frankly abnormal routine of hospital work (or have circumstances that make it difficult to leave).
Based on Exit Poll of TVN24 from that time (so not an official gov statistics, I’m not sure if they can release any) in 2019 60.8% of men voted. 61.5% of women.
I absolutely agree that they can (looking only at military capability) wipe the floor with Palestine with indiscriminate bombardment in a few days.
But saying that not using that ability means they do enough to avoid civilian casualties is a pretty big jump in logic.
Military ability isn’t everything, geopolitics and market dependance exist. if they actually did that immediately, the response from international community wouldn’t be as mild as it’s now. So they actually can’t.
What I am saying is that there’s a full gradient of effort when it comes to avoiding or encouraging civilian casualties (and not giving a damn about them is in the middle).
The voices of Israeli ruling politicians before and after the start of this year’s conflict doesn’t exactly inspire a confidence that enough is being done to prevent them. Some used strategies even increase them unnecessarily with doubtful military gains.
I don’t think that things are black and white here. But I have to agree a little.
Israel did become a nationalistic autocracy and has deeply corrupt leadership. Still, not doing anything when they were attacked on the scale Hamas recently did, would be just stupid.
The problem is that they should have kept the civilian casualties to minimum. Ideally under the amount of Israelis that died tho deflate grudges over time and show some degree of good will.
Then again Hamas has never shown such incentive. And differentiating between Palestine civilians and Hamas collaborators or members is not an easy binary task.
Exactly what I was going to say. If it’s anything like in Poland, a typical neo-natzi is either:
1 Doesn’t give a fuck. 2 Does it mainly for money. 3 Can’t distinguish anything.
Though again, someone could have told the number 3. what to do.
He’s the owner. He won’t.
Yes please. I dislike when cars explode on the road in a puff of toxic smoke. (Nothing against EVs, everything against Chinese ones)
