EU5 is in many ways broken, janky, and sometimes frustratingly so. But, despite all that; EU5 really is the platonic ideal of a GSG, it is the GSGest GSG I have ever played. In the same way that dwarf fortress is a buggy, janky 10/10 game, EU5 is a buggy, janky 10/10 game.

In your country, when you enter a waiting room at the doctor's office, do you greet the people inside and they greet you back? I'm trying to see something here

@SandyofCthulhu I don't know man, I don't think the British empire were having any 'real problems' during the absolute zenith of its power.

Britain's empire started to have real problems when steamships began to replace sailing ships, because now their boats couldn't just sail anywhere - they needed coaling stations and so they had to go capture bases all over the world where they could get coal. This also meant that coaling stations were targets for enemies. It wasn't improved later on when we traded coal for oil. The creation of nuclear engines mitigated it a little.

Map of Europe, January 1500 In January 1500,the Holy Roman Empire was not one country but a patchwork of hundreds of duchies, bishoprics, free cities and principalities loosely held together under an elected emperor. That same year Emperor Maximilian I convened the Diet of Augsburg and introduced Imperial Circles, an attempt to organize this chaos into six administrative regions for tax collection and common defense. It was, in a way, the empire admitting it could not function as a single state and trying to at least function as a committee. Some territories like Bohemia and Switzerland refused to join any circle at all,remaining deliberately 'unencircled' for centuries. Map via u / Yetkinler, r / empirepowers

Most overrated cities in China? Hong Kong, Taipei, Chongqing. HK is run down, expensive, lacks good infrastructure. Taipei feels less modern than 2nd tier cities. Doesn’t feel advanced. Chongqing has small central city area, the rest is quite rough. Interesting but overrated.

@bokoen1 As for the apparent copies of Chinese missiles, that is speculation. What we know for sure is; Chinese components are used. But if that is the equivalent to selling arms then Toyota would have been the largest arms supplier to ISIS.

@bokoen1 I don't watch RT news or anything of the kind. But I am very sceptical when people say Iran is possibly buying missiles from China when there is no evidence to support it. The Iran-China cooperation is economic. Germany isn't allied to Russia because of nord stream.

It’s crazy how all the Z posters are trying so desperately to form a narrative that the US is getting humiliated by Iran. Like if anything Russia and China are getting humiliated as it’s their tech and weapons getting styled on by US/Western tech and weapons.

@bokoen1 China isn't in any kind of military alliance with Iran. China also hasn't directly sold arms to Iran for more than 20 years now. China sells components to Iran, but almost all drones/missiles ect. Are produced domestically by Iran.

@Fatherlorris They're essentially an ally of Iran and supply the regime with weapons and war material. They operate a variety of Chinese anti-ship and anti-air systems.

@useful_emetic Britain, or indeed the rest of Europe shares very little in common with America, even if you want to classify us all as 'western'. If you want to know the reason why America produces an endless deluge of cultural slop, then examine America. Don't pretend we are alike.

@Fatherlorris there’s a shared problem of “how do i, asian immigrant, create good art in white western society?” and he answered it more successfully than most Asian Ams did.

Asian American art has been pretty bad for a long time, and the only reaction I have to new examples is pessimistic resignation. Ishiguro is one example of an Asian artist in a Western country that doesn’t make cringey ethnic slop. I’m not even saying that he’s part of the literary canon, just that his work doesn’t actively make me want to crawl under a rock and immediately die. The thing is that he doesn’t write directly about Asians at all. Is that the secret to all this? His background DID somewhat influence his writing - his characters are usually unreliable, prone to repressing their true feelings out of deference to external social roles or duties, outsiders who are good at pretending to be insiders with a certain unsettling sense of remove. A sense of self that is distinctly ghostly and barely-there. Maybe “ghost” or “outsider” is the right artistic mode for Asian Ams, instead of crudely mining your heritage and family.

@useful_emetic Yes, but I don't see what is has to do with American cultural output. There is absolutely no shared cultural experience between a second generation immigrant in the UK and a second generation immigrant in America.

Arguing with a strawman is really easy but the science doesn't lie. Cows produce methane
Sama Hoole@SamaHoole

Activist: "Cattle farming is incredibly wasteful." Farmer: "Is it? List the inputs." Activist: "What?" Farmer: "For my farm. What goes in?" Activist: "Feed, water, land..." Farmer: "Rain, grass that grows for free, and land that won't grow anything else. Where's the waste?" Activist: "But the resources..." Farmer: "Are solar energy and rainfall. Both happen whether there's a cow here or not." Activist: "You're oversimplifying." Farmer: "I'm being accurate. Sunlight hits grass. Grass grows. Cow eats grass. Cow becomes beef. Which step wastes resources?" Activist: "The land could grow crops." Farmer: "This land? 30-degree slope, clay soil, 45 inches of rain? Show me the crop."

@PotatoMcWhiskey @PatrickHeizer It's not that. Methane is a very potent greenhouse gas, and causes a lot of damage over those 12 years before it turns into another greenhouse gas, CO2. So while the amount of carbon remains the same, it's in the atmosphere in a more damaging form.
