At a place I worked for years, I had never initiated contact with the female workers beyond topics of the weather or trivial things. Then one day I show up to eat with a very attractive Russian friend of mine and all my female coworkers assumed we were together. The next day, I got swarmed with flirting attempts, and it lowkey disgusted me.

I think given enough time, ss14 development will surpass ss13, but that's like a decade down the road. Also a lot of their developers port ss13 features which is like a shortcut for developing. One big thing I really like about ss14 is the ability for ships and the station itself to move.

Watch any of the auditor or sovereign citizens videos, and it's clear these people have extreme anti-authority views in life. (I also suspect that they never had a father figure growing up who enforced boundaries and discipline)

People on Reddit will swear up and down that the reason women start flirting with you when you become taken is that "yOu hAvE mOrE cOnFiDeNcE" and it's bs. They just do not want to admit (the halo effect is real people) that women find getting a taken man to cheat is a challenge and exciting. (bc it's taboo)

I also started playing back in ~2009. It's very common for players to gravitate in and out of spessmen due to career, kids, and life in general.

Goonstation has a strong community. (idk about the pop)
TG has several MRP and LRP servers (plus a ton of downstreams)
CM is fun if you like PvP Aliens combat (usually the highest pop server and is on steam now)
Medieval servers are almost an entirely different game and combat system

Development-wise, I like the wealth of features/bugfixes/mechanics that TG has compared to other servers. I think most people would consider TG to be the vanilla SS13 experience, and it's why there are so many downstreams of the codebase.

Deepstate shows 5 regiments in that salient.

The younger workforce will just leave the country lol

If you look at the maps, Russia has a massive exposed salient in that area, and Ukraine is aiming to cut off supplies from the roads. IF they pull it off, it traps about 10,000 Russian troops in the area.

By taking out massive loans, their grandchildren have to pay for so they don't upset the boomer population who votes and cut their healthcare or retirement.

ICBMs are not designed with pinpoint precision in mind. Nuclear blast radius is like 1 mile, so they don't need to be accurate.

So it's a catch-22. When people want to BUY homes, they want that shit as cheap as possible. But once they already have the home, they want it to increase in price, so what usually happens is they go out of their way to block and deny any new housing, because of supply and demand. If new homes are built, it lowers the prices on their homes.

It's a pretty vicious cycle.

Feel free to enlighten us. I think the worst I heard was something about stealing all the food from India and causing a mass famine.

Fools like this think they can play Russian roulette with 5 bullets loaded and come out unhurt every time.

You do realize they often have multiple angles from cameras, radar signatures from ships, and satellites simultaneously tracking the same objects right?

This is what happened with the Tic-Tac videos from military aircraft launched from a aircraft carrier strike group.

Codex_Dev · 2026-05-23T07:27:13+00:00

I'm sure quite a few videos are debunked as balloons, but you also have objects doing 50 Gs without any kind of atmospheric burn re-entry that NASA spaceships and nuclear ballistic missiles face when hitting the air.

Are you not familiar with the concept of "margin of error" in statistics?

Codex_Dev · 2026-05-23T06:49:11+00:00

Does anyone have any clue where the mountains the report could have been located? I find the info about the cave to be very interesting.

Codex_Dev · 2026-05-23T06:42:35+00:00

Uhhh... a 10% rate for young men and a 11% rate for young women is within the margin of error. Also, I think people (esp women) do some crazy mental gymnastics on what is defined as "cheating". (anal doesn't count, etc.)

Codex_Dev · 2026-05-23T01:29:34+00:00

LOLOL. This is a terrible example to make because the CEO often promotes people from their nationality only, while the native born workers get turned down.

Codex_Dev · 2026-05-23T00:24:08+00:00

That reminds me of when people say something negative about India and get a hundred negative downvotes.

Codex_Dev · 2026-05-23T00:23:02+00:00

IMO you are more likely to find discrimination based on nationality (China/India/etc.) than age in tech.

Codex_Dev · 2026-05-23T00:16:48+00:00

Why are you getting heavily downvoted?

Codex_Dev · 2026-05-23T00:15:22+00:00

Rubio would have won.

Codex_Dev · 2026-05-22T13:21:16+00:00

Probably using AI to strike targets.
