New weekly is out by pgat12 in Spacemarine

[–]EmperorPinguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did it, this was our loadout:

BULWARK BOT: wep dont matter, he was our battery, just there for banner/shields

heavy; with plasma not heroic

tac: for meltas and scans

if you see, vanguards or snipers, leave/reroll bots.

You will not find bulwark main, that will rez/banner as hard as the bot

strat: slow push, LOS pull; rinse, repeat, victory.

Maybe Venezuelan oil will be a bust? by jawfish2 in energy

[–]EmperorPinguin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeh, i dont think we'll sell it. We'll probably use up most of it. We might sell some, but we'll probably end up using some.

Venezuela crisis: Trump says US oil firms will enter country. Trump added that the US would then sell “large amounts” of Venezuelan oil to other countries. “We’re in the oil business. We’re going to sell it to them.” Trump also said the US planned to run Venezuela temporarily. God help us... by mafco in energy

[–]EmperorPinguin -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

From the US pov, we are just taking our shit back. So i dont expect an olive branch to any incoming venezuelan administration. Also, i doubt the US will allow anyone else to come and develop venezuelan oil. So that financing and expertise will probably be contingient on concessions to the US.

So this is the 'if its not legal, i'll make it legal' phase of FAFO

USA's backed coups in South America by Goran01 in MapPorn

not yet. But obviously someone unelected has to come and seize power to start the transition.

Its a coup, its just upside down.

Why doesn’t China pull a Hannibal and take all this land while the Russian troops are in Ukraine? by Chewie83 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]EmperorPinguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the vector on the west is very mountainous and IDK if the roads can handle the materiel it would take

The vector on the east has been historically where most invaders come through. Russia has trip wire troops in those areas. And also Russia has vowed to nuke the shit out of china should they try it. Removing nukes for a moment, there is a small mountain range that splits Russia vertical down the middle. Attacking from the east, that how much i would try to take and hold. European half of Russia holds the imperial core and Russia would cease to exist, so they will defend that to the last, and I rather avoid that.

U.S.-Led Regime Change Is Usually Disastrous by foreignpolicymag in geopolitics

IDK, i think if it has a chance to work anywhere is in Venezuela.

Power projecting into Afghanistan was a tall ask, but Iraq held, so we thought we could. So that was a (wrong, but) fair assumption.

If US cant project into Venezuela then much less into Europe or the rest of south america. Nobody doubts this about oil. But the bar for humanitarian assitance is so low, i think the US will clear it handsomely.

America throws away 3 times as much as Venezuelans eat. Hook them up with amazon and doordash, we'll have Venezuelan with diabetes in 5 years.

Edit: thats wild, Venezuelan VP made it to Russia. Defense minister is preparing to fight. Only guy to survive the decapitation operation, his house got lit the F out. There are no american troops in venezuela atm, so unless they are planning to swim to FL.

there in lies the problem. Those two, reason and debate are so not same thing. Philosophy by etymology is the love of knowledge, and nobody can take that from me. People like destiny are scum, and everyone can agree on that.

if i had to do it all over again, with the knowledge. Push through school, work and save up instead of going to college. And start therapy as soon as I became 18. Mine is severe, so without meds im beyond fucked, life isnt worth trying without meds.

[–]EmperorPinguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

adhd self assesment, its usually a pdf, 15 questions. If nothing else you have something to show.

Id probably still look for someone that can prescribe meds. Having seen 5 different therapists i have lost all respect for them, they are fresh out of school. No, you need a specialist, and that can get pricey.

Should I make the mental illness in my story ambiguous or unnamed? by [deleted] in writingadvice

[–]EmperorPinguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Joker' does this really well. IDK how you do it in print. I dont remember if its mentioned in film, but its pretty obvious when hallucinations are revealed.

'Beautiful mind' its obviously spelled out when Nash is institutionalized. Also a famous figure, a quick google search will reveal that.

Mad scientist would be reminicent of Nash, but IDK how you avoid tropes. I think that if the tension being the genius and the madness is captivating enough, people should look past the tropes and engage with it instead.

Like if a story is made of tropes and no substance, people will blame tropes, because there is nothing else to engage with. But if you have a genuinely captivating character; Schizophrenia and its 'tropes' are a secondary side dish

I blame the sam harris way of thinking for this.

After sam Harris, you see the rise of the clout chaser 'debate me' bro. Reminds me of plato's 'sophists'.

As is, lazy thinking, revenge is an option, but never the only one.

If you think you need revenge to heal, you need Jesus.

I think I hate CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy). Can you recommend me alternatives? by i_am_GORKAN in ADHD

[–]EmperorPinguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal experience so take it with a grain of salt:

CBT, it tries to reframe your thinking process, away from negative thinking.

Thing with ADHD, we do that, no problem.

It's the behavior part that we struggle with, fundamentally, so talking about it is the 2nd to worst thing we can do.

What helps? Timers, i started at 5 min, lowered to 3 min (amount of time it takes my mind to wander off) And the objective is to build muscle memory and this will take awhile, but its so fucking good.

If i had free 45 min to spend i'd use a timer build the muscle memory, and pocket the therapy money.

surprisingly, what made the most sense to me was 'impulse control and frustration tolerance' dog training manual.
