  • That would be UNCLOS, United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

    And honestly I really like the dry humor that some Wikipedia entries (strait of Hormuz in this case) are written:

    To traverse the full length of the strait, ships pass through the territorial waters of Iran and Oman. Although Iran has not ratified the UNCLOS convention,[19] most countries, including the U.S. which also has not ratified it,[20] claim the right of passage as codified in the convention.




  • Ah well, if Red Alert 2 is the game requested, then there are multiple iconic things possible:

    Tesla Coil as building

    Kirov Airship as maybe most iconic unit

    Yuri is probably the most iconic face for Red Alert 2.

    As Easter egg you could put a tree on there as well, as the game has the Mirage tank, which can disguise itself as a tree.

    This game has no tiberium and neither GDI nor NOD though, so maybr you hide that at the bottom as Easter egg (since Tiberium and the original C&C timeline is the foundation of Red Alert)



  • Yeah, in my opinion these two faction logos are the most iconic images about C&C for me. The idea with tiberium crystals is nice if you want to do a diorama cake, but the logos are probably better.

    … And if you want to take the tiberium idea,please use green food colour in sugar crystals and not uranium glass shards XD








  • Kind of in German? Because the last “word”-part in the word determines what it really is and the separate parts of the word stay with the same meaning most of the time, so the end result is often connected to the meanings of the word parts it is made up of.

    As example:

    Fahr = driving-related
    Fahrt = the drive
    Plan = map, plan
    Bus = … bus

    Fahrplan = timetable for trains, busses etc
    Planfahrt = drive that is according to some plan (instead of outside of the planned timetable)
    Busfahrplan = timetable for busses



  • Sorry, but where exactly do I propose great man of history theory? I seriously don’t understand what you mean with your comment? Can you explain your intent to me please?

    Maybe it’s a good starting place that I explain what I meant in more detail.

    The original post was a meme on lemmy.ml about how communism would be the antidote to pedophilia. Another commentator provided Lavrentiy Beria as example of a rapist and pedophile in the Soviet Union, which contradicts the original meme (And no I will not go into a discussion now that the Soviet Union was never communist but only socialist, that is one layer too deep for a meme). I then provided Stalin himself as another powerful pedophile in the Soviet Union as another counterpoint to the meme.

    That mention of Stalin’s pedophilia was then deleted by a .ml mod as misinformation, since they don’t want people to see how their idol behaved in reality. And I object to that censorship about how the dictator of the Soviet Union behaved and therefore made this post here.
