May i recommend Mr. Lee’s Greater Hong Kong?
- ticklemyelmo 4y agoAlmost worth it to be able to see a Rat Thing in action. Very briefly.
- shadowgovt 4y agoPeople always complain about how inhumane it is to create those things. Nobody ever asks the Rat Things how they feel about it.
- themadturk 4y agoApparently the rat things are down with it. It's all puppy dog heaven until they have to go into action, and they like that as well.
- shadowgovt 4y agoOne of my favorite scenes in the story. IRL I've heard people criticize using dogs as weapons of war with the specific criticism "Do you think the dog actually likes jumping out of a plane?" And my immediate answer is "There's plenty of valid criticism you can levy at that use case, but this ain't it. Because the answer is 'yes.' Lots of dogs do. The ones that don't, wash out of military dog training. By-and-large, a dog's default is to go with the pack, so if its handler is chill with the jump so's the dog." Dogs aren't human beings and don't experience the world like human beings. The empathy circuitry they engage so effectively in us can make us forget that sometimes.
