  118. [13:57:53] <Taev> bwahahah 1894 Advice to Young Brides - At this point, dear reader, let me concede one shocking truth. Some young women actually anticipate the wedding night ordeal with curiosity and pleasure! Beware such an attitude! A selfish and sensual husband can easily take advantage of such a bride. One cardinal rule of marriage should never be forgotten: GIVE LITTLE, GIVE SELDOM, AND ABOVE ALL, GIVE
  119. [13:57:55] <Taev> GRUDGINGLY. Otherwise what could have been a proper marriage could become an orgy of sexual lust. On the other hand, the bride’s terror need not be extreme. While sex is at best revolting and at worse rather painful, it has to be endured,

  188. [14:27:25] <kitties> or srs bsns ;__;
  189. [14:27:28] <HypothesisFrog> xeno: sorry
  190. [14:27:36] <xeno> coffeeguy: history is full of formulations like that - and sometimes (like in that document), they are useful - but in general, it's a misleading phrase
  191. [14:28:07] <HypothesisFrog> Is anyone threatening Russia?
  192. [14:28:33] * xeno shakes his fist in direction of Russia, stating "leave the kitties alone, or else..."
  193. [14:28:35] <xeno> now there i s
  194. [14:28:44] <coffeeguy> Putin just had a former spy poisoned maybe he's getting red phone calls
  195. [14:29:08] *** Quits: pjj (~thebaddes@unaffiliated/plotplanexe) (Remote host closed the connection)
  196. [14:29:12] <HypothesisFrog> I imagine all the surrounding nations and former satellite states joining NATO is a bit threatening
  197. [14:29:27] <ShakespeareFan02> coffeeguy: There's no conclusive evidence released, as the Uk authorities want to be really really sure
  198. [14:29:42] <coffeeguy> aah ok ShakespeareFan02
  199. [14:29:47] <xeno> HypothesisFrog: meh, all nations are theatened all the time
  200. [14:30:16] <HypothesisFrog> coffeeguy: a former FSB guy, who defected, thinks that Putin wouldn't have been involved.
  201. [14:30:20] <ShakespeareFan02> Putin's comment worrying as it is, isn;t too different from some of the language the UK was using when Trident renewal was an issue
  202. [14:30:45] <HypothesisFrog> http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-10/intellectual-property-theft-not-steel-and-aluminum-is-the-real-/9531176?pfm=ms
  203. [14:30:46] <subtitle> [ Intellectual property theft, not metal, is the real trade war in US sights and it's a much bigger worry - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) ]
  204. [14:31:00] <ShakespeareFan02> The UK was at one point seriosuly considering using lo-yield nukes as a response against a state backed chemical attack by a Non nuclear state
  205. [14:31:55] <ShakespeareFan02> Which is something I can't recall the US or Russia ever stating as potential doctrine
  206. [14:32:10] <HypothesisFrog> A hypothetical state backed chemical attack or an actual one ShakespeareFan02 ?
  207. [14:32:23] <ShakespeareFan02> HypothesisFrog: If there was an actual attack
  208. [14:32:45] <ShakespeareFan02> Then the UK militatry would have had the option to use a single warhead
  209. [14:32:46] <xeno> ShakespeareFan02: it's also redundant - I mean, what else would they have their largest thermonuclear weapons for?
  210. [14:32:52] *** Quits: persecutrix (~s4y@143.137.207.2) (Remote host closed the connection)
  211. [14:32:58] <HypothesisFrog> Were they anticipating one?
  212. [14:33:01] <ShakespeareFan02> ..against the capital of the rouge state concerned
  213. [14:33:13] <ShakespeareFan02> HypothesisFrog: This was just post 9/11
  214. [14:33:25] <HypothesisFrog> Wawkay
  215. [14:34:53] <ShakespeareFan02> Previously the UK, had stated that a mass use of chemical warfare would be met with a proportionate response
  216. [14:35:46] <HypothesisFrog> Nuclear weapons are pretty scary
  217. [14:35:47] <ShakespeareFan02> Xeno: Trident's purpose is a 'detterent'
  218. [14:36:04] <xeno> ShakespeareFan02: it's not deterring anything without a credible threat that it will be used
  219. [14:36:12] <ShakespeareFan02> Quite
  220. [14:36:15] <xeno> ShakespeareFan02: Putin saying so doesn't qualify as credible btw
  221. [14:36:42] <xeno> ShakespeareFan02: typically you set up scenarios where you have no other choice to make such retaliations credible
  222. [14:37:01] <HypothesisFrog> Russia must be such a shithole
  223. [14:37:17] <ShakespeareFan02> Trident isn't much of a detterent according to some people though
  224. [14:37:22] <xeno> ShakespeareFan02: it's why the US has placed a bunch of soldiers around in eastern Europe and such - human shields, so that if Russia attacks, too many Americans will die and public opinion will dictate a response
  225. [14:37:23] <HypothesisFrog> No offence. I'm happy to be proven wrong.
  226. [14:38:02] <HypothesisFrog> It's got the same GDP as Australia, but 10x the population
  227. [14:38:28] <HypothesisFrog> So presumably, 1/10 the GDP per capita.
  228. [14:38:55] <ShakespeareFan02> Trident works as a deterrence based on cold-war thinking
  229. [14:39:20] <ShakespeareFan02> And to some extent might work against state-backed non-nuclear WMD threats
  230. [14:39:22] <HypothesisFrog> The only reason it's a military superpower is because they spend 1/3 of their GDP on defence
  231. [14:39:56] <ShakespeareFan02> However, fanatics don't necessarily conform to rational models
  232. [14:40:55] <HypothesisFrog> It ranks 135 on the corruption performs
  233. [14:41:22] <HypothesisFrog> Russia tasks 135 on the corruption index. Lower than Thailand.

  239. [14:43:30] <xeno> HypothesisFrog: which way does the ranking go? immediately, it seems good to be low on a corruption ranking
