Every times I tried to give the British some benefit of the doubt, thinking maybe my opinion of them has been too harsh in the past, something like this always happened.

Ramakien (wikipedia link)

It’s the only one I remembered, thanks to secondary school. I remember that they are other mythology, mostly in the form of children stories, but I can’t remember the name or even the plot.

[warning : incoming rant]

Frankly, literatures is one of my least favorite subject in my entire school years, partly thanks to many local literatures that was so terribly written I have no idea why people still talk about them fondly. For heck sake, one of the first story we learn in primary school is a few step away from being a porn. Compare to these, at least Ramakien is somewhat enjoyable.

I’m Thai, so, thanks to the Buddhism-with-Hinduism-characteristic over here, I’m a bit familiar with a few of localized version of Hindu mythology, including Ramayana. I agree, it’s weird when you really think about it.

They even have a ship named Inflexible, as if that’s a virtue to strive for.

To put it mildly…

As describe by one Reuter report :

Imagine taking a chunk of rotting corpse from a stagnant sewer, placing it in a blender and spraying the filthy liquid in your face. Your gag reflex goes off the charts and you can’t escape, because the nauseating stench persists for days.

Not the cases here. Those two ships are mine countermeasure ships. Ships of this kind are commonly made with such material to reduce magnetic signature as much as possible.

Praise the honkmother

I first read this news on Barotrauma subreddit. Have to re-google the whole news just to check if it’s real or simply Barotruma shitposting. [For context, the game Barotrauma involve operating submarine, and you can rewire components to modify the boat’s function. Rewiring the boat’s system is one of the most common way of messing with the sub]

The fact it’s not a joke is even funnier.

If they tried to get there again, I hope they didn’t neglected to put toilet facilities onto their spacecraft this time.

VERY.

Clickbaity-patterned video title got such negative stereotype since majority of video with such title tend to be made with minimal efford. Doing so pretty much advertise your vid as “CLICK ME PLZ I NEED VIEW” kind of video, whether that’s your intention or not.

Yep, I’m stealing this.

And all those guys were purged when the Iranians found a security breach in the american intelligence networks, got the informants’ names and sent the list to Russia and China.

I need to hear more about that part.

SKULLS FOR THE STOCK MARKET

One thing about us East and Southeast Asians is that we said what we’re expected to said in a certain event in such a scale that once you heard one, you have heard it all.

Funeral, for example - “The dead is a good person” = I don’t personally know the dead. “The dead is a good friend” = I personally know and deal with the dead. “The dead is a good kid” = The dead is my child/children, or I’m his/her teacher. You get the idea.

So, yeah, I won’t read too much into an official statement on a dead person. As my parents said “Don’t listen to what people said, but watch what they do” .

Imagine what we could become if we treat corrupt oligarch and official at least half as serious as PRC does?

Can I point out how color scaling really suck here? The shade between 85 (Brazil) and 75 (China) is much more different between 96 (Australia) and 85, or between 75 and 45 (Egypt).

It doesn’t even match the scale provided at the bottom of the image.

They’ll probably be tons of “This is proof that Ukrainian don’t have Nazi problem because they talk with Isn’trael” from the west after this.

US media trying to find evident of Uyghur genocide, probably :

Loss will definitely be high in such scenario. Bombarding a city to rubles rarely work to the advantage of the invader. It didn’t work in German favor during Battle of Stalingrad. It didn’t work in British’s favor during Battle of Caen. I doubt it would work in IDF favor here, especially against people who have a lot of explosives and nothing to lose.

But yeah, it’s going to be ugly, especially consider how little IDF care about collateral damage.

“Commands are sent via WhatsApp groups.”

I want to see how my former OPSEC instructor would react to this information.
