i recently learned the new york democratic party machine was largely behind the pogrom against black residents of NYC during the civil war popularly known as 'draft riots'.

It's mostly due to the sino soviet split, doing business with China and not attacking them was an orientation that (successfully) undermined the socialist bloc

i'm going to do a fresh skyrim install and it's slightly tempting to do a premade modlist but like...

whatever fresh experiences that could yield, it's not really like playing a 'new game', when you play an actual new game there's an onboarding with the features, mods are not designed this way. you can't just jump into a 100 mods you havent read the documentation for and understand how it works? and 90% of the time these things are not explained in game. because why would it be when the intended experience is someone familiar with the game installing a change to it?

this one is so deeply strange to me, like they made it up it's not a real existing cultural appropriation so why would people so uncomfortable with chinese people choose for that to be the thing? they could've chosen other languages plausibly white or adjacent that'd still indicate the cosmopolitan space culture

you can put a nuclear warhead in an artillery piece, it's a question of range when the nuclear power you're dealing with is not next door. Being able to nuke SK is utterly assured but the DPRK is not trying to have nuclear deterrence against SK, they are deterring the US, whose missiles are either across the pacific or on submarines in that ocean--both prospects which can be guarded against with naval interception

Treatle is like Wordle but you identify the treat based on selected reddit reviews of it

idk how feasiblr it is to house nuclear-capable missiles on destroyers but they might be talking about missile defense, missile defense destroyers are an important part of other nations nuclear strategies.

post ww2 naval classification is so wack, destroyers are like everything that doesnt have aircraft, and even then some have helipads
