True but I wanted a literal shower thought

And now I suppose I have to read that in a sarcastic voice because of the “/s”? /d

(/d = dead serious)

The challenge isn’t finding counter examples, it’s limiting the narrative of history to have a simple “good/bad divide” but here are some selections of underdogs one may consider the greater of two evils:

• The confederacy (US Civil War)
• Caesar’s army crossing the Rubicon
• Imperial Japan post Pearl Harbor
• Pakistan’s complicated history with India
• King Leonidas and his men (Persia was arguably more equitable)
• Austria-Hungary (WW1)
• Fascist Italy (WW2)

As for David and Goliath, keep in mind David was using a sling, a weapon that can hit with the same force as a modern revolver when used properly. It’s entirely possible that story is an allegory and/or propaganda of the value of properly equipping one’s armies; it probably shouldn’t be viewed as anymore impressive than a rampage killer fatally wounding somebody twice their size

You can just make them talk to one of those shitty models from the early 2010s

Thank you, finally!!

I’m not hearing a “no”

Weird to use a game that decided to drop its official Linux support for this meme

Flying cars are also horrifying: they’ve existed for about a century, popular culture won’t accept they’re a bad idea and imagine the research breakthroughs drone warfare would experience if a consumer market were funneling funds in from a whole new closely-related industry

I agree with the spirit of the request but a CPI applied to military expenditure would be adjusting for prices of irrelevant items and could become very skewed at such large scales

Admittedly I don’t know have a better idea either so… Guess I’m hoping somebody smarter than me can chime in

Counterpoint: what?

I run distro, btw

Yeah, more or less both
