We’re in the timeline where he was stopped and had to kill himself, not sure I really want to give him any pointers about how to further his agenda but slightly differently and avoiding some tactical mistakes. I don’t think he’s going to take from the book that his world view was wrong or that for the good of Germany he should abandon his goals.

Aww.

Charlie Chaplin does Dallas

Open or not consent is key here.

Actually I was pretty lucky because we had a cordless phone for our selfies

Oh. Haha I’ve seen this image a lot but for some reason all the other panels looked familiar to me as part of some movie I’d seen but forgotten about and this one seemed like the odd one out. Turns out they’re all from a movie I’ve ever heard of.

What’s the image in the bottom left from?

I think the trans thing started as a sincerely held conviction very much a long the lines as you’re describing, and while this is and can only be utter speculation, I have a feeling a lot of what comes after as in Chappelle, probably with Linehan (but I don’t really know anything about his case) and also other examples like the vaccines cause autism guy, I think these people are seeing an opportunity in their ostracism to keeping their profiles high and business opportunities as well.

I think it’s a sort of a ‘hung for a sheep as for a lamb’ kind of logic where you mightn’t really have had any particular common cause with a lot of conservative views, or fringe elements before, but their willingness to embrace and lionize you for this one particular stance creates a new audience and market for you just as others are shrinking. From there it makes sense to gradually dole out hints and allusions to more conservative talking points and just keep ratcheting it up piecemeal to keep that profile up. For this to work you have to eventually be less hinting and more direct and the positions have to be more extreme and on more and more diverse matters, even ones you probably never had any opinion on because this is a pathway to becoming a kind professional provocateur and shock jock.

Funny copypastas aside, I think that’s missing the point of this question and my addition to it. In this scenario as the OP described, the thing being pursued is slower than the pursuer, but faster at turning. Among the various answers they got one saying that the superior turning ability would not help with completely escaping because even if the pursued could temporarily increase the gap between themselves and their pursuers by well timed turnings, the gap would always be shrunk again by the pursuer’s superior speed. They noted however that though this meant they’d never escape, they could theoretically never be caught either because they could keep just evading with well timed turns. They also made an analogy to missiles and aircraft saying that in that instance, aircraft turning away from a missile that’s faster than the aircraft can be an effective evasion strategy because the missile can ‘lose’ the target if the aircraft gets behind the missile making it unable to detect the aircraft with its forward facing sensors.

What I’m saying is that another reason that trick might work with aircraft and missiles is just the fact that the missile can only chase for so long before it has no fuel left, even if it is faster than the aircraft its chasing. I figure the same goes for the hypothetical with the ships. If the pursued ship can continue to shake off the pursuer with well timed turns for long enough, it could maybe escape just through attrition, as long as they had more fuel than their pursuers, who are still faster but obviously unable to continue the chase indefinitely.

I wonder if with missiles it also helps because the missile would eventually run out of fuel which I’d presume a rocket would be burning through quite quickly. Maybe you could also evade a pursuing ship in this manner, although you’d have to hope they didn’t have much fuel left to begin with.
