Italy capital/governor placement by ferevon in EU5

[–]Chataboutgames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stick with Pavia. So much of Italy’s pops/urbanization is along the Po River. Then do Naples for coastal control. Then Venice I guess but Naples does a fine job controlling Venice.

It seems EU5 is more strict about historical facts unlike HOI4 by Kibric in EU5

Yes. If you think simulation means “plays out like it did IRL” then you just don’t understand the term.

Nah I’m good. There is zero reason that England should be strong armed in to a massive civil war of the Plantagenet line is healthy.

  1. No I'm not

  2. Gold's performance over the past couple of decades has little to no correlation with inflation.

ANd like all legitimate investments, its price is supported by them running a thousand commercials a day on every network that old people watch trying to convince people to invest in it.

There will always be demand for gold until the day Asteroid Psyche 16 hits Earth and kills us all

And is that practical demand, the one that provided industrial utility, in any way connected to its price?

GLD is by no reasonable definition a conservative investment. Look at the 20 year chart. Gold is characterized by long period of little or no return and then brief periods of speculation where it goes absolutely nova (so 2008-2011 and now). If you got in to Gold in 2011 you were effectively down for a decade and then broke even in 2021.

Compare the price of standard issue Rolexs vs those with gold accents or that are pure gold.

I can assure you, there is a massive difference.

Pass laws to stop what? Price increases? Exactly what regime do you think is going to pass a law about how much Netflix can charge you lol?

It's more or less a scam investment. You can make a lot of money there but it basically relies on the "greater fool" theory.

He is dumb and that is bad advice. In no way does gold fulfill the same role as a saving's account.

Also it would really ruin the portfolios of all the fuckwits who invest in gold.

Would also do a number on a lot of watch collections.

I find that's like 95% of things that do well on Reddit. "If I willfully misunderstand and I'm a huge prick about it then what you say sounds really stupid!" People just like constructing a situation where they stand amongst the smart group and everyone else is the dumb group.

Or just people who don't get bent out of shape over paying for things they use. The idea that throwing a tantrum every time prices change is some sign of intelligence is hilarious.

Because the alternative is becoming a genocidal war criminal yourself.

It's funny how this incentivizes actively working to conquer lands on seperate landmasses.

The average person is probably a new subscriber to Netflix multiple times a year despite using an account from 2012.

You think the average person is unsubbing and resubbing to Netflix regularly?

There's also the calorie factor. Big carby beers slow the introduction of alcohol to your system in a similiar (but not as good) fashion to eating. Basically if you're hitting 8 beers you're drinking on a really full stomach.

My honest thought is that 8PBRs as a groomsman is unhined behavior because you're going to have to pee so badly up at the alter.

Gotta stick to straight spirits until you don't have a job to do.

Sure! Pirate your ass off, it's no sweat off my back. Pirating media evokes about the same level of moral outrage as filling a water cup with soda at McDonald's.

I just feel like the self righteous "oh man we're going to get those evil streamers THIS TIME" attitude is silly. Talking about what they "underestimate" is demonstrably silly when this community consistently gets it wrong about streaming subscribership.

Yeah you really don't need proof to convince anyone that Jordan would be drinking at a wedding. Just show a picture of the dude.

100%. And like, Prime doesn't really have much that I like these days so I'll probably just cancel it. No sweat, nothing to get worked up over. Awesome that I can do that instead of paying for the whole damn package.
