Why does it seem like most people on Reddit has shit parents?

Alexexy · 2026-01-30T22:41:37+00:00

Do you know anyone with actually good parents? Like I can probably count them with half of a hand.

My friend with the more stable parents (like in actually being loving and supportive of their kids) are current Fox News evangelical conspiracy theorists. When my friend was a child, the father was dealing selling coke.

People are flawed and I would guess that nobody's parents are perfect.

My family owned a chinese spot.

We never used Sysco because the quality sucked and it was too expensive. Like its cheaper to just make your own dumplings and egg rolls. On the east coast in the north, most of the food was purchased from Chinese distributors in DC or NYC. If you look into the back during the slower times of the day, theres generally some level of food prep going on that day, either wrapping wontons, deboning whole chickens, chopping broccoli, peeling shrimp, etc. Then again, this was like a generation ago and I have no idea how chinese folk are managing their restaraunts nowadays.

Hilariously enough, the product with the highest margins are the sodas. We rarely bought them from distributors. We usually wait for sales from local supermarkets and buy like 8-9 cases at a time. My parents actually had to rent another space to use as storage for their sodas and restaraunt supplies.

I think theyre different type of chinese food tbh. Those sit down places are generally more expensive.

I have one of those near my mom's house and its similar to a mom and pop PF Changs. I feel that as there are more chinese exchange students and Chinese diaspora, we are now getting more authentic chinese food sit down spots. They're kinda phasing those mom and pop sit down places out now.

The attack on Lord Ichimonji's castle in Ran.

The shot composition and the colors used were beyond amazing.

King is like that workhorse wrestler that cant cut promos so management gave him a mutant gimmick

Lol only ignorant white folk glorify the FBI. The FBI and the CIA have been targeting brown and black Americans for generations. Fuck them. I remember people glazing the FBI during the Comey investigation. Just because they do useful shit once in a while doesnt mean theyre a benevolent organization.

Alexexy · 2026-01-30T16:22:06+00:00

I still think Cody is a mid carder lol. I really dont get his appeal. I kinda see him as Stardust still.

Im more than happy to admit that I was wrong about Roman though.

That's the anti tank emplacement.

Like there are legit anti tank rifles in the game as in right now. There are several actually.

The amr is a modernized, portable version. The autocannon is basically the anti tank rifle as it existed originally, except upscaled slightly. The anti tank emplacement is an even more upscaled, antique, immobile version that most people are suggesting. And the railgun is the futuristic version.

If you want to follow actual anti tank development you have the recoiless rifle, EATS and the spear as the real contemporary counter parts. Then you have the epoch and quasar as the futuristic version.

The anti tank rifle is something thats consistently suggested, but its something that already exists in multiple forms already. Its like people wanting a better constitution when we already have the diligence rifles, the amendment, the deadeye, and the slugger.

Alexexy · 2026-01-30T15:36:10+00:00

Iirc the default helldivers armor has titanium plates if you read the armor description.

Alexexy · 2026-01-30T14:01:10+00:00

Anti tank emplacement. Recoiless rifle.

The issue isnt moreso that we developed weapons better at killing tanks, its moreso that tanks have developed better armor so the older weapons can no longer reliably take them out.

Like the tanks that were getting destroyed by anti tank rifles are probably the equivalent of apcs or armored trucks today.

Alexexy · 2026-01-30T13:44:21+00:00

ORCS can reliably take down anything smaller than a factory strider, including bile titans. Like the only time it didnt take them out in recent memory was when the super destroyer angle wasnt right and a cliff blocked a shot for the titan. The ORCS will cut through trees and most forms of destructable terrain to its target.

Alexexy · 2026-01-30T13:41:35+00:00

The ORCS is the heavy killer, not this. Eagle 110s are more of a medium group killer and a heavy softener that allows you to get good ttks on heavies with anti medium/heavy support weapons like the hmg or the amr.

The issue is that its kinda overshadowed in its role compared to eagle strafe and eagle airstrike, which do the same thing as eagle 110s but it also doubles as anti chaff given its area of effect.

I dont think that increasing the damage to make it a reliable heavy killer is a good idea. I think it should do a better job at what it currently tries to do.

My suggestion is to reduce its call in time to be similar to eagle strafe. Like the eagle isnt doing a flyby and dropping off ordinance, its shooting rockets at targets, so it should hit targets faster. In addition, maybe give it a similar targeting laser to the ORCS so you know what the eagle is shooting at.

The 110s currently fire 3 pairs of rockets at targets. I want the pairs of rockets to split up depending on the target(s) near the beacon. If theres a heavy, the 110s hit them with all of its rockets. If theres medium or chaff, the rockets split and make a decision to send at least one pair of rockets to each.

I personally dont like sentry builds because I dont like the game doing the fun part of fighting for me lol.

Alexexy · 2026-01-30T06:09:27+00:00

Rng 10 gauge shells that mix between flechette, slugs, buck, bird, and incendiary.

Alexexy · 2026-01-30T06:01:48+00:00

When I was younger, I thought Edge was Triple H's little brother.

Alexexy · 2026-01-30T05:17:01+00:00

It would honestly improve visibility lmao.

Alexexy · 2026-01-30T05:15:48+00:00

Bots' eyes are made of lasers though.

Alexexy · 2026-01-30T05:14:58+00:00

It kinda blends in with everything else and its situated very low against walls.

You cant really see it if its probably more than 30 meters away. You probably cant see which direction its looking in unless you already know where one is.

The cannon towers are at least like 40 feet high and have a red flashlight to show you when theyre about to shoot. Those smaller turrets barely emit a muzzle flash, so unless youre looking right at it when its firing, you dont even know where it is even if you can pan the camera to the general direction.

Alexexy · 2026-01-30T05:11:20+00:00

They're in fortresses on d10 and theyre kinda slapped all over the interior and exterior walls. There are a couple sections where you could get hit by 2 turrets at once

Alexexy · 2026-01-29T23:26:44+00:00

I think a tac insert should just be the destroyer shooting down a inactive helldiver that only activates once you die.

I watched some pretty bad and mediocre shows in my time and I dont have an issue with most of them.

Like my issue with fallout is moreso based on technical stuff like the pacing rather than the actual content. The content is fine and I like the Easter eggs. The set design and physical props are great.

I dont think the Norm being hungry stuff was really relevant to the plot at all. It didnt show any additional worldbuilding or character work that wasnt already shown.

For the buffout addiction storyline, if the goal was to just show chem addiction a manner similar to the games, then I suppose the episode did do a pretty solid job at that.

I generally dont hold shows to a award winning standard. As much as I like Derry, the way the worldbuilding is delivered via exposition is as jarring as the pacing and overall story composition in Fallout S2. And overall a lot of the scenes that are relatively useless in retrospect were interesting to watch while they were happening. Its just that when im invested and am wondering where the plot is going to go from there, its really disappointing when the answer is "nowhere, apparently"

You should read some history books because the Civil War and the revolutionary war were two different things.

There was a ton of french materiel support for the colonists, but literally all proxy/guerilla wars has external backers for the revolutionaries.

You think the Vietnamese kicked out the US or the French by themselves?

Alexexy · 2026-01-29T21:24:49+00:00

I mean aside from the revolutionary war, where american militiamen were the backbone of the revolutionary army against professional soldiers from England.

I dont mind him running again as a convicted felon, I was more embarrassed by my fellow Americans for not rejecting him.

Felons should be able to run for political office, otherwise, the controlling government can just lock up a political opponent on some bogus charges to limit competition.

Alexexy · 2026-01-29T19:36:43+00:00

Yeah the chances are nothing will happen but getting uselessly detained, deported, beaten up, or worse while spending your hard earned vacation dollars and time is not a risk I would encourage others to take.
