I did Politics and International Relations with a bit of History.

Congrats! That's what I'm aiming for myself.

Hey i wanna take international relations too! Although i will probably take economics and "international legal order" instead of history and politics

I love history but what I realised is that I hate studying it academically. Reading and watching it for fun is much better.

Hearing sabaton is the best way to learn history 😆

Kinda wish I did history instead of software dev because I'm currently stuck in a software job that would kill you of boredom

I'm currently unemployed so I'd rather be bored at work than not working at all.

nah bro bored at work is the worst feeling. Having more money is nice and all but if you have a horrible job you will wake up every day and think how you waste your life away

Starving isn't an appealing alternative imo.

Ye starving is not an alternative but I´d rather live on a tight budget than spend 40 hours in the wagecage. I am used to travelling with little money and sleeping in a tent though so I guess my opinion is a little different, apart from the fact that moving back in with my mom was an alternative during the time so I never had to worry about actual surviving

I plan to work only a few months every year later in life. Maybe like 6 months work 6 months travel on foot or maybe I find a nice place to settle down some day. But thats all far in the future currently I am on the grind but I also love my job

The United Trolls

wooot I nuked another country, I got a chain events issue with brasilistan and from the first option I decided to nuke them. Ending was sort of anti-climactic. I thought thered be more fallout no pun intended.

ah nice.

Holly molly, i've had like 2 months full of boring and unimportant issues, and now suddently all 5 of 'em are like banning alcohol, organ harvesting, etc.

Heyo!
I just typed out a factbook about the biggest ships in my country. Thing is I dont really know much about ships or naval warfare, so it would be great of someone who knows a little about this could tell me wether its coherent or not.

General feedback would be awesome as well.

So, first off ships are measured in Length, Beam (Width), and Draft (The measurement of how much of the ship is under water/Waterline). When you write width it is kind of confusing as width can be from any part of the ship while beam is measured from the widest part of the ship.

Secondly, more information would be helpful in understanding the grandiosity of the ships like the speed (in knots), range (the distance the ship can travel), and displacement (the weight of the ship). Though I only recommend that you do speed and range as displacement can be difficult to calculate.

Thirdly, I think it would be helpful if you also converted (m) to ft for those who don't use the metric system.

Fourth and finally, I understand that your ships are fake, but your ships are impossibly fake. In order for the ship to float it would require the ocean to apply a force equivalent to a little more than a Giganewton or a little less than twice the amount of force to lift the Space Shuttle. To reduce such forces it would require the ship to have a draft that would be well over 100 m, which means that these vessels couldn't even get close to the coastline and would have to be, like, 2 miles out to sea, or they would have to be floating platforms and incredibly immovable. Plus the weight of the ship alone would require a nuclear reactor with the size and energy to power a city to move, and another to have electricity. Another problem is the center of mass of the ship when it turns; because when a ship turns the center of mass, or the center of the hull of the ship, bares the load of the entire ship when it stops due to the momentum still caring the ship in its turn.

The reason ships this size don't exist is because it isn't cost effective, they are unreliable, and physics is not on our side. I recommend that if you want a large ship, the largest ship size that would be reliable is max 800 m in length, and even then that is absurdly big. But I understand if you don't want to change it as this is not in real life.
