Its the reverse. Far easier to see invis units on lower graphics and textures settings than it is on high/ultra textures. If you jump onto twitch and have a look, many of the high level players will have the game on the lowest settings graphics settings for this reason although plenty also just run it looking nice for the audiences sake.

This line of arguing isn't nearly as convincing as you think it is.

Uhhh, who knew that the DoD (or at least the authors) believe we will be moving into subterranean megacities?

>"Future battlefields in 2050 are projected to be dense, urban environments or subterranean megacities that will challenge identification and tracking of targets." p.g. 16

Imagine downvoting a post asking you provide references you rely on to make your point.

>"Most social movements nowadays are disproportionally led by psychopaths (primary or secondary), people with Borderline Personality Disorder or narcissism (in short, people with Cluster B personality disorders), studies show."

POST

>"It is impossible (yes, really, there have been studies) for healthy, normal people to understand the motivations of the mentally ill, including mild and severe Cluster B."

THE

>"so, studies suggest that the confusion of the state of affairs and the inability to form a mentalizing theory of mind for the mild or severely mentally ill portion of leaders in social movements is actually a sign of health and intelligence :)"

STUDIES.

Considering you refer to no less than three amorphous groups of "studies", please post them. Otherwise it really only points towards you using the term because you think it gives you intellectual credibility.

According to the first google results this is not true for the US and Australian comparison, even after converting AUD to USD the Australian worker makes about $2000 more than the US worker.

You also fail to recognize that US workers spend more to achieve similar healthcare outcomes, something highly relevant to this conversation.

Than in Europe, Australia, and the UK? Laughable.

They (the ministers at least) know this, this is working as intended under our previous Liberal governments.

To summarize your point: "30% of class signs petition = Gen Z is spectacularly entitled"

I see your prestigious ye olde education really heightened your critical thinking skills.

No he doesnt, you are wrong, just more confident.

A few seconds of googling clearly demonstrates MANY circumstances in which the NATO is encouraged or required to fire warning shots.

Seeing as you struggled to discover any information before declaring the other commenter incorrect, let me fetch some for you.

[Above source, page 159, Bosnia 2001] "Further, warning shots were permitted, even encouraged, and the use of deadly force against assailants fleeing an attack was not even covered. "

[Above source, page 161, footnote 24] See infra notes 108-16 and accompanying text for a discussion of how current ROE require U.S. troops to use both verbal warning and warning shots, while the DOJ policy on the use of deadly force does not require the agency's officers to employ either of these actions.

So, while the DOJ has policy which excludes warning shots for US military, they were also ordered that they must use both verbal and warning shots as a part of their rules of engagement.

>Calling BS on this story, sorry. No one in this world is training to fire a "warning shot". That is from the movies - full stop

I'm sure if I looked harder I can find many, many more examples. Please do at least the faintest whiff of research before declaring someone else incorrect - full stop.

And once again, neither you nor Wally addressed a single one of the issues.

Likely because you know you're wrong and dumb.

Fine, I'll bite.

Mr Bright said:

"Americans have the highest standard of living in the world. That's why the poor from everywhere are trying to get into the US. Do you watch the news about all those migrants pouring over the border"

and you said:

"it just makes Walter's well thought, rational arguments even stronger. reply"

His reply is neither well thought[out], rational or strong whatsoever. His reiteration of Americans having the highest global standard of living does NOTHING to address any of the issues I raised with this statement in my previous comment, he literally just repeat his assertion.

Which is also untrue, SOME Americans have the highest living standards, many many many times more do NOT.

You will see neither my comment never mentions crime whatsoever. Mr Bright inserts the topic of crime, drug addiction, criminal enforcement and theft as though criminals and addicts are the only Americans who live in poverty and the only metric for establishing living standards is crime. This is clearly illogical and irrational.

Many of the people suffering at the hands of US capitalism simply got cancer, were in a car accident, were born with disability, got hurt at work, too old to work but no retirement fund, etc.

Frankly, I dont care about "helping my position" or if the language I use upsets you! Anyone with the faintest whiff of logical integrity can clearly see that Walther Not-So Bright is espousing bullshit that he believes, not that has any rational basis.

You're right next to him at the bottom of the intellectual barrel.
