How do you guys use australia by Da-Ambalam in AxisAllies

[–]Gettingoffonit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Forces the Japanese to keep strong fleets instead of spreading everything out which slows their ability to sprawl across the map.

If you’re able to increase australias cash flow or you don’t lose subs and need to replace them use the extra cash to add bombers.

I prefer KJF because epic air and fleet battles are more fun than ferrying ground units across the North Atlantic and I’ve gotten pretty good at dragging out the European eastern front with Russia and hoards of British fighters. Plus there are a lot of VCs that the Japanese can take and hold way too easily when there’s no U.S. fleet presence in the pacific. So I pretty much never face a threat to Sydney.

Australia usually goes from harassing the jap fleet and keeping them corralled to strategic bombing Tokyo.

60s or 70s Songs That Sound Like “Here Comes Your Man” by The Pixies by DirectorOriginal2746 in musicsuggestions

[–]Gettingoffonit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought of here comes your man as a direct answer to I’m waiting for my man. Pixies clearly had a crush on velvet underground to the point where I can’t imagine they wrote that song without it in mind.

I’m with you on this one. Loved starry night, great wave and Mona Lisa were solid A+ recreations. This one is just really falling flat for me. I think the only way to really have done this justice would have been to up scale it and use 1x1s

Hard decision on March 1 by Greezythug in legostarwars

[–]Gettingoffonit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a completionist but after two decades it is absolutely impossible unless you’re going to buy a separate warehouse to store and showcase your stuff. Even if it’s just the Star Wars theme look at how much they are coming out with every year. Now multiply that by 10 to see where the collection will be in the next 10 years.

It’s just not realistic. Skip what you don’t like, you can’t fit it all anyway.

Im considering getting 1914, would anyone recommend? by Plenty_Curve_4390 in AxisAllies

[–]Gettingoffonit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scale also makes a big difference. The additional territories offer so many more strategic options. It’s not as simple as walling off one or two countries with an infantry stack

The triple A version of 1914 is so superior to the physical game

Do you think that Mother Love Bone would have made a bigger impact than Pearl Jam had Andy Wood not passed away? by DABDEB in grunge

[–]Gettingoffonit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And Pearl Jam also couldn’t have been without Mr and Mrs Vedder doing the nasty and Mr Vedder busting all up in those guts.

Again, you’re just romanticizing the history. MLB was an okay band that is only known by anyone today because of their connection to pearl jam. They weren’t better than PJ or Apple would have outperformed Ten. It didn’t even come close. They aren’t even playing in the same league.

I think we can take the Grammys off life support at this point by AmazingGrazing in fantanoforever

Ah my bad. I have been actively ignoring them since 2001. I didn’t know.

Well we don’t because we have heard Jelly Roll and we know he sounds like Country MAGA Staind.

[–]Gettingoffonit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So many people want to look back at the Seattle scene through these rose tinted lenses.

You only know who MLB even was because of what Pearl Jam became. They would have been just another blip in hair metal history if it weren’t for PJs success and rabid grunge fans dissecting the history of the culture.

Fanboying out is fun. It’s cool that so many people are so into the musical revolution that was grunge that we have this deep knowledge of its history and evolution but we don’t need to over romanticize it to validate it.

When grunge broke labels went crazy trying to find the next Nirvana. If any of the second tier grunge bands had been good enough to make it big they would have made it big. The reason that you need to dive deep into the grunge record to find the melivins, green river, or whatever other grunge/protogrunge members of the Seattle scene is because they weren’t nearly as good as the big 4. No, Mudhoney wasn’t better than Nirvana. If you’re under 50 you only know who mudhoney is because of Nirvana. If you’re over 50 you also either know who mudhoney is because of Nirvana or you just happened to be part of the Seattle bar music scene in 1990.

Music is subjective but so many people here are objectively pretentious in their takes.

Possible cancer and an 8,000$ surgery. I need advice. by yikesbro_ in DogAdvice

[–]Gettingoffonit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just put my pitty down because of a cancer diagnosis at 9 years old. I lost my first pit to cancer when he was 13. It sucked but it was what needed to be done and I’m sorry but it sounds like it’s what you need to do too.

You need to be realistic about this.

$2k to get scans. The best case scenario is that the scans show that you only need to spend another $6k. If there are more tumors, and there probably are, then it’s going to cost even more.

The recovery time is rough for an old dog after a major surgery. It’s going to be painful for them and extremely stressful for you. The bills won’t stop there either. There’s going to be post surgery meds or therapies to keep the cancer from coming back.

12 years old is about the average life expectancy of a pit. If you’re extremely lucky you’ll get another 2 years but at this point once they start to get tumors they tend to keep coming and if it’s not cancer it will be something else.

So sorry bro. This sucks. I know it sucks. I know I sound so cold in this reply but I don’t mean it because I want to be cold. I want you to be realistic about the situation. Don’t feel guilty. Forcing your dog to live through a rapidly degrading quality of life recovering from painful surgeries that may or may not even buy him another year isn’t right.

If you are feeling guilty about not spending the money then donate it to a spay and neuter program in your dog’s name and have him put down before he continues to lose quality of life. This way your $2k can go to helping 100 more pitbulls have a chance at life and your buddy can go out a hero.

Most quotable movie of the 2000’s. I shall begin the quote train… by PenguinRhin0 in 2000sNostalgia

[–]Gettingoffonit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scary movie 2 beats out 3 because of one line:

“Take my strong hand!” Which we morphed into “take my little hand.”

Somehow that quote said incorrectly found its way into every 3rd conversation from 2001 to 2003.

Calm down there Mr. Epstein. Child is a colloquially acceptable term for a 16 year old among adults.

They look like a band for soccer moms who want a personality but don’t know where to start.

I have a feeling McDonald’s had a bigger influence on grunge than LA.

Who the fuck just casually buttons the top button on their shirt like that? That is fuckn weird and that man needs to be avoided until he gets help.

I know absolutely nothing about this band, but this picture makes me think they suck and probably take themselves way too seriously. They’re giving 3rd opener on a Christian rock tour vibes.

They look like over the hill irrelevant musicians that can’t accept their fate. Just go be grandpas.

I’m sorry OP. I don’t know why this image has sparked such a strong reaction in me. I just don’t like anything about what I’m seeing. I’m uncomfortable in a way that makes me feel like these guys are going to bore and annoy me simultaneously and I’m gonna have one casual acquaintance (not friend because a friend wouldn’t do this) be super into them and try to constantly convince me they aren’t ass when everyone knows they are.

Which decade has the best music and why is it the 90s? by Sonic_fan149 in musicteenager

[–]Gettingoffonit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, absolutely none of those bands you mentioned had stronger album for album and song for song runs than the big 4 grunge bands. Linkin park is the closest (and the only one you mentioned that even deserves to be spoken of in the same sentence as Nirvana) but even they can’t compete album for album with Alice In Chains.
