It was a fun thing to try as a non-native speaker.

And I definitely need to read more classical literature.

This one was fun. Because it's adaptive, most of the test is right at your level of ability, so it's neither boring nor overly challe ging (though I will say that a few of the hardest ones I was entirely guessing)

@vertelo77 @mtreskin Ну у нас в городе был крутой хохлятский ресторан. Пришлите ещё, откроют заново.

@gen_enhazed Unironically, we should've admitted MH17 was our mistake long time ago. Shit happens at wartime. AA does hit civilian planes.

Would've been good PR to honestly admit and pay restitutions, showing we own to our mistakes (unlike Ukraine or USA's similar case).

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@gen_enhazed Unironically, yes. Treatment of the internet by Putin's government is one of the most retarded things said government has done. It doesn't achieve anything, aside from turning millions of people against government for pointless and petty interference with private lives.

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@Piotr__Panasiuk This isn't even true. Ukraine has a Foreign Legion, Klitchko's children can sign up there as citizens of Germany.

@GoHomeRuzzky @pbacherikov @baltosaxon Em. Mate, look at your tirade and tell me who's got triggered here and acts irrationally. But sure, you do you, I am too tired after gym.

If you want sane dialogue, feel free to reply when you feel calm.

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@GoHomeRuzzky @pbacherikov @baltosaxon No shit, it had no money - it took brunt of the WWII devastation (alongside with Chinese).

So it built good and mass housing. Not pretty, but practical. More spacious than modern "studios", with centralized heating and plumbing (not all of Europe had that circa 1950s).

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@GoHomeRuzzky @pbacherikov @baltosaxon Well, as I've said, you are being dumb.

You can correctly point out flaws of the USSR, but ignoring its positive aspects just cause it hurts your iffy ego? That's pathetic.

These houses are good, affordable, and reason post-Soviet countries have high household ownership rates.

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@CommanderORly @pbacherikov @baltosaxon Or just being a poor-corrupt regime which had no money to take all the economical pressure on themselves while providing housing in first place?
🤡🤡
Poverty is not equal practical.
There is nothing practical in those buildings.

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@GoHomeRuzzky @pbacherikov @baltosaxon By people who wanted to make affordable, practical and good housing in a war-torn country.

Oh, what horror.

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@BarbarianDisco Unfortunately, it won't do anything.

In kid's mind, he would blame the cat for losing his PS5. He doesn't have self-reflection capacity to examine his actions.

I honestly don't know how you'd fix a child at this point.

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@BTOfficial7 @tlark8 @elvenmaidinn Because it is really not funny. It was for the first time, but repeating same joke over and over again, and joke being equivalent of "piss and shit" humor, wears out any semblance of humor quickly.

Which is why they can't be a setting of their own, if their foundation is so low.

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@leonidragozin Could be true - could be someone at upper-middle level deciding to show the initiative.

Of course, government can't back down now. That'd send all the wrong signals that it makes mistakes in obviously-not-political case.

If that's the case, it'd amusing, if it wasn't so tragic.

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@BTOfficial7 @tlark8 @elvenmaidinn Sure, but let's be fair, Space King is popular because of GW. It has zero original ideas, it is worst of 40K mixed with 2000s Newgrounds "humor".

Space King only succeeded, because people already knew about Space Marines, not cause it was somehow original.

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@ardan_blade @Periphery_Anon Got confused cause of what looked like cockpit cowl.

But besides, "Hungry Like a Wolf" is a good book. You can't silence the truth, Davion! xD

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@Periphery_Anon @ardan_blade It nevertheless remains a very good book. Reminds me of Caiphas Cain series for 40K, in its prose. Easy to read, serves to convey the mood and characters.

Like, I was positively shocked, how pleasant it was to read, compared to a lot of, generally speaking, modern sci-fi.

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@ardan_blade @Periphery_Anon Is that an Orion, by the way?

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@deathsquad_US @eodyn7 @KoreAmVet @zhil_arf But you are colliding effectiveness with tech advances.

A better example is Tiger II and Pz.IV

By all metrics Tiger II is more advanced than Pz.IV, yet when taken in context of battlefield, it is inferior.

Equipment should be effective for task, not pursuit of advancement.

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@Fublplaysit81 @Periphery_Anon Happens when it is actually well and professionally written. I am normally not that genre, but when you read it, it is just solid. Not too complex, but it knows what it is, and author writes to that goal, with good prose and just enough character depth.

[Commander O'Rly @CommanderORly]

@ardan_blade @Periphery_Anon Huh? "Hungry Like a Wolf" was unironically very good.

I get that not everyone likes romance novels (subjective tastes and all), but objectively speaking, it was very well-written. A solid and enjoyable book.
