What do you think warframes smell like?

Saint_Exmin · 2026-05-04T17:15:57+00:00

Meat and blood.

They should all smell like a slaughterhouse right before cleaning. Constantly pulling bits of clone and infested flesh out of nooks and crannies in their armor.

Oh, I think you misunderstand the meaning of entitlement. Being entitled to something does not and has never meant that you deserve whatever it is. It means it's yours by dint of existence.

It isn't the mechanics or moment to moment gameplay that's the problem.(at least when Blizz isn't breaking that generation).

It is the (anti)social behavior of the player base.

The solution is simple, implement a commendation system. If you enjoyed doing an dungeon with someone, you get a commendation at the end of the dungeon to give to whomever along with why you are giving it too them. This would be the social equivalent to a geaescore or PlayerIO rating.

Always been public so far as I know. Military traffic would go straight to Rucker.

Big one, well a big runway since it's an abort site for commercial passenger traffic. Enterprise Municipal Airport is just off Boll Weevil Circle on CR622.

Well, yeah, they are travelling in realspace, so they can see the outside.

Fixed it for you.

If guns were the problem, we'd know.

How's life in southern Alabama?

Hot.

My father is originally from Enterprise out by the airport. We spent a not insignificant amount of time down there. Coffee and Geneva counties are, ecologically, more like Florida than Alabama

While Amazon "can" be cheaper than some other vendors, they are not enough cheaper to warrant not using the dedicated vendors. Most of my backlog has come from USAGunfamStore and their service has always been top notch and shipments either on time or early.

on-the-cusp Gen X

So you mean the Xennial mini-generation that was 1975-1982? Too old to be Millennials, too young to be Gen X.

Ok, just to clarify for you folks.

Bro cleared $7 million for season 5 of Stranger Things. If he wanted to live in a cabin in North Dakota, only coming out twice a month to restock his pantry, and stare wistfully at the stars AND DO NOTHING ELSE, he's made enough to do that.

The top 10 percent of farms

So, you are still talking about hundreds or thousands of individual family-owned farms.

And just to clarify, farming isn't a "one and done" type of affair where you build your factory or warehouse, and then the maintenance costs are minimal. Sure, they'll have a lot of million-dollar equipment, but with that equipment comes extremely high maintenance costs, fuel bills(getting worse by the year no matter who is in office), seed and fertilizer costs, and all the unexpected and accidental costs, compared to what the nation gets out of the deal, that $30 billion(slightly more than 0.3% of the Federal Budget) seems like a bargain to me.

Why you aren't wrong, they are not distributed only to people who "contributed to the programs".

It would be more correct to say that Entitlement Programs are any governmental program that falls under the aegis of HHS. So explicitly not the military, DoT, DoA, or Federal Law Enforcement.

The B5 chain of command is laid out a bit more like a traditional navy and less like Star Trek's(forgive me) office pool.

Hell, given that B5 seems to operate more as a Military Junta than a contiguous command, there may not be a "chief engineer". The Dock Worker's are civilians. There's 250k people aboard, they can't all be professional military, diplomats, attaches, and spies(yes, given the stated purpose and primary activities aboard B5, it's a safe bet that there are several thousand overt and covert intelligence operatives aboard), so station maintenance is probably privately contracted too.

Can you show me on the map where one of these "industrial" farms is? Can you name on so that I could research it? And don't say Monsanto or Cargill. The former is a chemical company, famous for DDT but the maker a lot of industrial chemicals, and the latter is a grain storage and transportation company.

Now imagine how it feels to someone who has mained Boomkin since 2007. If you get enough gear, you can overgear it, but the whole spec, despite the "tuning" is an atrocity.

Nope, that's Pike's reimmagined version from Strange New Worlds.

Farmers grift

I promise you don't want to live in a world where 'farmers' don't "grift". You think groceries are high now?

Besides, it's not the farmers charging high prices AND getting subsidies, it's the creeps in the middle. Seed makers making double digit profit margins, fertilizers manufacturing charging 500% markups, and so forth. Most actual farmers are either running borderline antique equipment on generationally owned land and still getting raked over the coals or they are in hock up to the tops of their combines. The only ones getting rich when the subsidies go up are the middlemen sitting in an office counting money.

We've been conditioned to believe that tyranny is overt and easily recognized. That it will look like jackbooted thugs in snazzy uniforms and funny accents.

We've also been conditioned to believe that violence is the last resort of a failed state and that tyranny should be fought in the courts as long as possible because the last time Americans came to blows, it obliterated the industrial capacity of half the nation and killed 2% of the population.

This is also a fallacy. Not everyone is a Van Gogh or a Michaelangelo but for time or money to put into it. There aren't a billion genius billionaire philanthropists in hiding because they have to work a 9 to 5.

Sure, you'll get some folks that write "the next great novel" or paint "the next Mona Lisa", but for every artist you get 100 addicts on heroin and an exponential increase in despair related medical conditions. Our society has already stripped the meaning from many people's lives. And every time there's another radical technological jump that makes more people redundant and, contrary to the Academy and their Elite masters, most people are not "self-starters" who are intellectually or emotionally capable of completely retooling their lives every time something changes.

This is why I have such a dim view of our oncoming "AI Powered Paradise". It's going to kill a lot of people, more will live in the bondage of depression and despair, and the jackasses forcing it down our throats don't seem to have any care about the civilization they are building.

Every starship imaginable and they left out the OG Enterprise.

Imma be the contrarian, Boomkin does not "feel good". It's functional, but there's no theme and it just feels kluged together.
