full repariations
And surely such reparations would take into account future lost revenue, as they would be expected to it this were a regular person against a corporation.
Surely.

Ah, an optimist!
On the one hand, it would be the national guard shooting at the zombies, and not regular military.
On the other hand, I'm from Ohio, and know what the national guard can and will do...
I guess my point is they'd still shoot, they'd just miss a lot?
"It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness, that is life." - Jean-Luc Picard
You make valid points. I know I've heard enough people who start off with "the nazis sure were bad, BUT..." and proceed to fangirl over every technological achievement made by Germany, even those that came after the allies.
There's certainly a line where it goes from "fantasy parody of real life" to "someone wrote a fan fiction about the fourth Reich and clearly has a crush on Hitler whether they want to admit it or not"
Literally the only way they would have conquered the world is through the wonders of "Sci Fi Magic Bullshit" ™️
Wasn't trying to call you out for being wrong or only partially correct, just think it's neat all the stuff they considered when designing and testing it.
Indeed, they made plenty of mistakes, otherwise they would have won the war.
But it's less about whether they could have sustained their empire afterward and more people trying to say that portraying them as such is "glorifying" them or propping them up in some sort of idealistic way.
The Abrams can run on just about anything liquid and flammable. It's not gonna be happy about it, but it'll go.
I think it was designed by pakleds...
Honestly if MILITARY applications are what kicks renewable energy and mass storage into high gear, I won't be surprised, but I will be disappointed.
But hey, improvement is still improvement and if a military organization sees renewable as the future, they're gonna try to make sure they get there first. As long as whoever gets there shares the progress with the rest of the world, I'm okay with it.
But who am I kidding, it's gonna be China or the US and the rest of the world won't see shit for decades due to suppression of research and technology that would allow for similar specs to be achieved privately...
... How credible is my aluminum foil hat guy?
I must admit though, it'd be cool to see an armored combat battery sliding across a field to quick charge a tank that died mid-battle. 10 seconds of charging to get it up and running, and the battery moves to the next low power thing. I'm imagining a semi-autonomous hot-swap of a battery compartment and eventually recharging like modern airplane mid-air refueling. Insert Rod A into Slot A and wait a little bit. The faster they want it to charge, the more they'll dump into R&D.
Murder is a crime. And it’s bad. (crime doesn’t necessarily mean bad, see Robin Hood for more details)
Nazis don’t count, all you’re doing is cleaning up the trash.
I've heard plenty of people try to say WOLFENSTEIN glorifies nazis
I've had one idiot tell me ANY media that paints them as competent or successful is glorifying them. And setting anything in a world where they succeeded and progressed technologically instead of collapsing is basically saying Hitler's world view is valid.
I still don't know how to respond to that beyond "if you think the nazis were incompetent you don't know history, and if you think showing a future where fascism took hold is unrealistic I have some bad news for you"
It's fantasy, and specifically a fantasy in which you get to go on a massive killing spree against some of the worst people in history, how you can somehow pull "this game is making these guys look good" from that, I'm not sure.
Murder?
I think not. Murder is a crime. And it's bad. (crime doesn't necessarily mean bad, see Robin Hood for more details)
Nazis don't count, all you're doing is cleaning up the trash.
You can't murder a nazi. You can certainly kill them though.
It's an important distinction, in my opinion.
I remember reading all about how Springfield was covered in illegal immigrants burning businesses and homes, robbing trash cans, rating babies and kidnapping cats.
Some of that might be mixed up, but the again so was I considering I thought it looked rather pleasant with tons of people having fun outside as I rode my bike around for hours literally the same day I read the posts
Clearly the shady criminal underbelly is just cleverly concealed and the residents all work together to cover up the crimes that happen to them.
Then the friends I was biking with started getting flyers from various hate groups shoved into their mail telling them "immigrants and negroids aren't welcome"
MAGAts sure do make the country a place I want to live in filled with hate, misery, and death...
