Bismarck, sublety, nuance, diplomacy
Was Otto von Bismarck's foreign policy brilliantly subtle and nuanced, or dangerously unstable and fragile?

Does anyone here play Eve online?
I've played the trial and love it but I don't want to be alone. Was wondering if anyone played it here.

Standard WTA 36 hour phase Game
So after a live game tonight ( gameID=130059 ) - some of us decided to go for a full length game as we quite enjoyed it.

The two early quitters obviously weren't invited. Not sure if two of the other five of us want to join or not.

How do you report evidence of eating?
I was in a restaurant today and two people walked in within one minute of each other. They proceeded to order, wait for their food, and then chew erratically. Needless to say, one of them finished before me.

How do you report evidence of cheating?
I was in a game today (gameID=130191) in which the users playing both Russia and Austria played extremely erratically. Both users created accounts this afternoon, within one minute of each other. Needless to say, Turkey won. Seems to be clear evidence of cheating using multiple accounts. How can I report this?

Nuance
now that we've successfully tackled bulling on web dip. Lets talk about how to have nuanced conversations on this forum . . .

There are some people on the forum with whom you can never have a nuanced conversation. This is like real life. There are other people with whom you can. If you start being nuanced, they will have nuanced conversations with you in return. This is also like real life.

Is this another sarcastic thread or are you serious?
tendmote (100 D(B))
24 Nov 13 UTC
I don't think there are enough shared assumptions among the posters for nuance to be actually work.

Nuance works in low-diversity, high-cohesion groups. Better to be clear and explicit than nuanced and non-understood.

Vote "no" on "nuance."

I missed this nuanced conversation about bulling. While I think things such as the running of the bulls are very dangerous to humans and potentially cruel to animals, I'm not sure I understand the history and culture enough of Spain to interject fully on the matter.

I suppose I meant bullying. but bulling works too

v. bulled, bull·ing, bulls
v.tr.
To push; force.
v.intr.
To push ahead or through forcefully: "He bulls through the press horde that encircles the car" (Scott Turow).
adj.
1. Male.
2. Large and strong like a bull.
3. Characterized by rising prices: a bull market.

I assume you're being sarcastic because the lion's share of threads are sarcastic/attempts to witty/humorous around here.

Let me know if I'm wrong.
tendmote (100 D(B))
24 Nov 13 UTC
Putin33 favors nuance, because it is a tool of reinforcing in-group cohesion. When the in-group is a group that possesses power, nuance acts as a subtle instrument of control; nuance is a restriction on straightforward dissent that doesn't even have to directly exist in law.
dirge (768 D(B))
24 Nov 13 UTC
Yet again Putin, you have succeeded at finding a factual point at which you can be victoriously correct about, adding one more point to your smugness quotient.
dirge (768 D(B))
24 Nov 13 UTC
Putin33 only supports pseudo nuance. His typical MO is to derail perfectly good conversations with tangential arguments about non essential points of debatable fact for the sole purpose of feeding his compulsive need to be right about something no matter how trivial.
Putin33 (111 D)
24 Nov 13 UTC
Ok, glad we cleared that up. Finding anti-communists who favor nuanced argument is about as likely as finding a wild okapi. Didn't want to get my hopes up.
Putin33 (111 D)
24 Nov 13 UTC
Dirge seamlessly transitions thread to being yet another expose on Putin33's many moral failings. One could write a dissertation about Dirge & Tendmote's moral superiority. If only the learned gentlemen would explain how I could be more like them, and what their secret to enlightenment is.
tendmote (100 D(B))
24 Nov 13 UTC
I knew it! Putin33 favors nuance, and presumably the high-cohesion, low-diversity constraints that it requires.
dirge (768 D(B))
24 Nov 13 UTC
anti communists? Why because I questioned the deep Marxist resolve of Lee Harvey Oswald. That makes me anti communist? Huh.
dirge (768 D(B))
24 Nov 13 UTC
Anyway, communism is stupid. Hows that for nuance?
krellin (80 DX)

Putin favors nuance because it allows him to more easily obscure his constant string of lies, and then claim he was misunderstood.

To Train Up A Child
Heard of this book? Its methods evidently have led to the deaths of 3 children, one which recently led to a conviction of the two parents involved. Should it be banned? Should the ministry which profits off it be shut down?

What to do when you are Ally Locked?
So I'm playing this game (one of my current 9), where I am completely surrounded by GOOD allies. People I have talked into turning their backs to me and leaving their pants down. It would be impossible to advance in any direction without violating a DMZ or 100% backstabbing someone.
