Yeah massively. Though it’s was contemporary to the Chinese civil war, so it’s hard to differentiate the casualty numbers.
- Comment on Turns out the Soviets could take it while the Germans couldn’t 1 week ago:
Not sure what this is trying to say. Innumerable and sustainable are two different factors.
Both can be right but in sheer numbers there’s little comparison.

Ah I see!
The ironic thing is that Frederik (who was philosophically a pacifist, when he was heir to the throne) really was the warmonger, whereas his father loved his soldiers way to much to ever risk them in battle.

- Comment on Cicciolina... what a character 3 weeks ago:
Well.. If the person said he skimmed the wikipedia article, yes.
It’s not that it is in some obscure footnote, it’s the second paragraph.
They could’ve saved a lot of time just praying a little more attention vs writing an epistle based on a mistake.
- Comment on Cicciolina... what a character 3 weeks ago:
Throughout her career, Staller made provocative offers, such as offering to have sex with Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden and Vladimir Putin in exchange for peace.

Yeah it said 500-600 yen, but it converted it to 3-4 / 5-6 dollar. I just took the middle price.
Turns out it’s not like 4 dollars. It’s very cheap in comparison, however if you smoke that much it’s still costly.
- Comment on Toyohiro Akiyama deserved better 4 weeks ago:
What is the cost of a pack in Japan? When I quit I was at a pack a day, choosing me around 300 euro.
edit. The cost is around 5 dollar, so that’s 20 dollars a day just on smokes. Holy cow
