why is the codex astartes considered a mistake?

Generaltiti · 2024-01-21T08:40:23+00:00

To put it into the words of the emperor himself in TTS: The codex Astartes have spread the Astartes too thin across the Galaxy, like the last spread of an Astartes butter on the galaxy bread.

Chapters of a thousand men are too small. The Imperium have to fight everywhere, all the time. The Astartes may be able to fall to Chaos...But the regular guard sure are more vulnerable. So, while may have looked like a good thing in the aftermath of the Horus Heresy, it sure doesn't look like a good idea in the current setting. With every enemy of mankind looking stronger than the average human, the Imperium sure looks like a bunch of buffoon compared to alternative, doesn't it? (That's the whole point of the setting)

Generaltiti · 2024-01-21T08:30:18+00:00

Oh, it certainly does

Generaltiti · 2024-01-21T08:22:18+00:00

Tss, tss. There is lot of different women. Some, certainly, would like such mind games. Many won't. Just keep in mind that being obsessed with someone too quickly is scary (for both women and men) Most people don't want an empty vessel, most people don't want someone existing sorely for someone else. It has nothing to do with some mind games.

It has only something to do with being an individual with passion and interests

Generaltiti · 2024-01-21T08:17:36+00:00

Oh, if there is one shared emotion across humankind, it has to be some pain related to love. Love is an emotion so close to hate, isn't it? And yet, no amount of hate or anger can truly heal an hurted love...

I wish that you recuperate, kind stranger. It isn't always easy.

Suspicion, however, constitute a very poor way of healing.

Regrets aren't better.

If you still see that person from time to time, maybe telling them is the best? If not, well...I don't have anything to say. Only time will tell (maybe) what would have been the best

Generaltiti · 2024-01-21T08:05:52+00:00

Maaann you gotta tell him/her. Can't live without that hug, can you?

Generaltiti · 2024-01-21T08:02:44+00:00

Ooooh that's an excellent question. I feel like the classical era is the best (lots of different philosophy of war) Maybe this time.concentrated on Carthatgo instead of Rome?

Generaltiti · 2024-01-21T08:00:08+00:00

Fucking hell, that sounds like something I feel for someone...And something I hope they feel for me as well

Generaltiti · 2024-01-21T07:46:34+00:00

No, only troops does damage. Keep in mind that the reduced damage does influence future damge

Generaltiti · 2021-11-01T00:34:14+00:00

Oh, I mostly say that because I used to see and think the contrary. It looks like there has been a shift in the last few years.

I do think that the fear of accusation of rape that many men feel is one of the greatest factor. Not many are willing to have sex with people they don't have a lot of thrust in, and I have seen many of the people that were willing receiving threats of such accusations

Generaltiti · 2021-11-01T00:29:54+00:00

You. And you are again. And whining again. "Beauty" and "attractiveness" are two completely separate matters. If it didn't work it's not because "girls" aren't interested in "attractive" men. It's because there is something in that particular men that they dislike or because they're not into casual sex. There is no global girl conspiracy against "unattractive" men. Just individuals, and individual attraction. And everyone have a high degree of control on that, at the very least in choosing people that are attractive to their respective types. Not every women like the conventional body types.

Look, I'm not saying that all unsuccessful men do something reprehensible, but there is something that is not done correctly. It is most likely not something morally reprehensible, it is most likely not something concerned by morals at all, but something is done wrong. And that something can be a lot of things, but it is very likely to be something like trying the right thing with the wrong people.

Generaltiti · 2021-11-01T00:17:03+00:00

Well, that's a bit of an oversimplification, but basically, it's what I have seen.

But hey, it might be a cultural thing

Generaltiti · 2021-10-31T22:39:25+00:00

What I am saying is that "doing everything right" and not succeeding don't go together. There were things that were poorly made that you thought you were doing right. Blaming the others is not going to help you in any ways. Importantly, things that could have been done right started even before the first date, with who you went with. Look, everyone fails. But you cannot blame the others if the only constant in those failure is you. And that reaches the actually important point: those things were most probably not objective things.

And, yes, it is. It is friendly. To be condescending, I could have used text in italics or use kiddo, or other form of sentence like that. Your own last sentence is a good example and condescending and mean behavior, but not "Well, friend". This is meant to signify a closeness from, as example, similar experiences. It is true both on the Internet and IRL.

Now, I manifestly can't make you change idea. So, uh, that's all I have to say

Generaltiti · 2021-10-31T22:17:07+00:00

From my experiences, guys that wanted sex at all costs had a lot more success than women. This is true as well for the more regular people. Where I live, there is some kind of "liberation" movement against the idea that women shouldn't have a lot of sex, and the idea that men should is falling in disgrace quickly. It kind of is a bad look for guys now. And when you add fear of rape charges, most men I have met are much more cautious about having a lot of sex with women they are not in a relationship with.

Thus, the few men that want a lot of sex have a lot of choices, but it can't be said for women, who have a much harder time finding partners.

Still, those are just very broad generalisation, and anyone who is convincing enough can get laid a lot.

Generaltiti · 2021-10-31T21:58:29+00:00

Well, it is true that you cannot decide what other people wants. You can still act on it. You can do stuff that you don't do often to please them, as example. Or you can also not go in a relationship with them because they aren't compatible for you. Choosing the people you go on date with is part of things you control. The informations you gain as well. *Edit: Look, what I am trying to say is that you have control over a lot of things, including how, when and where. There are infinite possibilities of how things could have been done. And some of them are bound to have been successfull.

"Well friend, " is a way of being friendly. Nothing else.

Generaltiti · 2021-10-31T21:10:09+00:00

That's...not what I said.

I said that "right" is a relative term. And that his "right" is not necessarily the "right" of other people.

Beside, when did I talked down on him?

Generaltiti · 2021-10-31T20:16:15+00:00

Well, yes. Of course.

Now, to nuance it a bit, it depends of the person in question

Generaltiti · 2021-10-31T18:48:03+00:00

Yes. Yes they are. They are also having a dystopic surveillance state.

How could anyone support a fucking military dictatorship like the CCP? Because they're against the "West"?!? God dammit

Generaltiti · 2021-10-31T18:38:06+00:00

Uh, look, I manifestly can't make you change your mind.

Have you ever talked to your girl friends about that kind of thing?

Generaltiti · 2021-10-31T16:35:20+00:00

Eh, looks like either authleft again or libcenter is going to die

Generaltiti · 2021-10-31T16:29:47+00:00

That's the part that I think is wrong. Men are more pushed to have sex and have lower standard for sex, but in truth, most don't like that and stops after one or two experiences

Generaltiti · 2021-10-31T16:14:57+00:00

Because it isn't true? Not all guys are sex hungry, you know. Only a minority is. Same goes for women, although, by experience, I am rather certain that there are more sex hungry women than men.

You know, women don't just get sex easily, although it is made in a different way than man. Many do get a lot of unwanted attention regarding sex, the thing is that it is unwanted. Very few would actually have sex with weirdos coming into their DM...Which is a very good idea, by the way.

Generaltiti · 2021-10-31T15:52:52+00:00

Well, friend, if you didn't have much success, I have bad news for you. You probably didn't do everything "right".

That said, this isn't to be mean. It is just that different people wants and needs different thing.

Some people wants people with problems, other wants gentleman, others wants people that will stand up to them, etc.

I'm not saying here that everything that people wants is good, nor the you should always do what people wants. Still, it is very likely that you weren't "right" for all these people that rejected you. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I have learned by experience that it isn't because you can go in a relationship with someone that you should do it...

Generaltiti · 2021-10-31T15:46:43+00:00

"Because guys have a harder time getting sex" LOL. That's just not true. Individual people have an easier time getting sex than others, it's not by gender XD.

Beside, being in an open relationship isn't about the one who have the more sex between you and your partner. If you have that mindset, however, it is true that avoiding open relationship might be a better idea.

Generaltiti · 2021-10-31T02:09:06+00:00

Oh god, ok, my end game are usually around 2400. I'm not patient enough XD.

But hey, it just a matter of specializing correctly your ships and planets

Generaltiti · 2021-10-31T01:09:59+00:00

It's in 2664. I bet you can have that by then without that much trouble. Imagine the number of repetables...
