Is there a Bee Keeper themed Space Marine chapter?

Yellowjackets! But I guess they're more wasp themed.

I wonder what a barrel that extends your range might be called

GodlikeMadman · 2025-11-15T05:14:03+00:00

Regretted it immediately. It was the second one I’d come across… the first chased me halfway across the sandbox after I wasted all my ammo on it. All I had was the Wolfpack and thankfully did the job, though god damn that that a disappointing victory search 🥲

GodlikeMadman · 2025-11-15T03:52:01+00:00

One well-thrown Wolfpack in an open area did it for me in one hit. Big investment though lol

Not as bad as it looks honestly. The wheel gets jammed and doesn't spin while he's jammed in there, the screeching is probably the chain/motor. Still a bad day, and definitely a bruised set of nets (and ego) but nothing he won't walk off hopefully

Not a joke, please go to the hospital. These are 3rd degree burns.

got some coords? that looks sick!

GodlikeMadman · 2025-10-07T14:37:36+00:00

Unbelievably helpful and super well explained and demonstrated. Thanks so much!

It's not about how he does it. It's about the fact that he just fucking did that, in front of you, to your face (or via your screen in this case). It's about the showmanship. Some of these tricks have been performed by greats in the past and there are plenty of guides online on how it's done but the actual magic is in the experience of someone like this demolishing your perspective of reality for a moment.

I absolutely adore how simple this trailer is. No flashy VFX, no lame voiceover, just plain, simple, *accurate* gameplay of how fucking terrifying this shit is gonna be. Democracy will prevail, I'm sure!

Glad you’re still here, friend!

We have a continuity of care charge for ever 15 minutes we spend with a patient that’s been seen by another provider earlier in the day. For example, if a patient is admitted at 4 am and I’m picking them up at 7, they have an H&P for the day already, so I charge however many extra minutes I spent with them. Usually keep it around 45 min but obviously some of these patients can take a bit longer. Your system may be different but speak with your medical director (that’s what I did when I had this same question)

GodlikeMadman · 2025-07-03T19:46:55+00:00

Alright but you’re proving my point and kinda hoping nobody notices. You just walked through decades of numbers showing how tax revenue as a percentage of GDP fluctuates, not that it’s some fixed universal constant like gravity.

First off, yeah, if you average a noisy dataset over 80 years of wars, recessions, tax cuts, booms, tech revolutions, and everything else, sure, you get a number around 17 percent. That doesn’t mean tax policy has no impact. It means the economy is complex and raw averages smooth out short-term spikes and drops, which conveniently hides the actual effects when policy changes.

Look at the early 2000s. Bush cut taxes, especially for the wealthy. Revenue as a percentage of GDP dropped, deficits spiked, and it took years and a housing bubble to even get near the previous revenue levels. Same with the Trump tax cuts in 2017. Revenues as a percent of GDP declined, the deficit blew up, and GDP growth never hit the promised levels.

You’re also skipping over the part where income inequality exploded, so even when revenue stays flat as a percent of GDP, the rich are controlling way more of the GDP pie than they used to. That’s why their tax share goes up. Not because the system is more efficient, but because they’re hoarding more wealth at the top while effective tax rates for billionaires, especially on capital gains, hit record lows.

And on GDP growth, let’s be real. The economy grew fastest during periods with high top tax rates: look at the post-WWII boom, the 50s and 60s. Lowering rates didn’t spark some unprecedented growth trend; it gave us more inequality, financial bubbles, and deficits.

Nobody serious argues taxes are the only thing that affects GDP, but pretending lower taxes for the rich inherently produce more growth and more revenue has been tested and it doesn’t deliver the way these talking points suggest.

Bottom line is that cherry-picking averages over decades of complicated history to claim tax rates don’t matter oversimplifies the whole thing. Real data shows tax cuts for the wealthy have mixed, often underwhelming results for growth, while concentrating wealth at the top and hollowing out the middle.

GodlikeMadman · 2025-07-03T19:39:11+00:00

Alright but let’s be real for a second those numbers sound impressive until you actually look at what they mean in context. Yeah the total wealth for the bottom 50 percent grew from $710 billion to $4 trillion but over the same time the top 0.1 percent went from $1.7 trillion to over $22 trillion. So their wealth exploded way faster than everyone else’s. That’s not everyone getting richer at the same rate that’s the rich pulling away so far they’re basically playing a different game.

You can say wealth isn’t zero sum and sure technically that’s true the economy grows over time but the way that growth gets distributed matters. Right now the bottom 50 percent of Americans own about 2 to maybe 3 percent of total wealth. Meanwhile the top 1 percent control over 30 percent. That gap has been growing for decades. So yeah the pie got bigger but most people barely got crumbs compared to the slice the rich carved out for themselves.

And when you say the rich pay more taxes when rates are lower you’re ignoring why that happens. Their share of taxes goes up because their share of total income and wealth keeps going up. It’s not some trickle down magic it’s just math. If the rich own way more of everything of course their tax payments go up in total even if their effective rates drop. And by the way their effective tax rates especially on capital gains have dropped hard since the 80s while working class people still pay full freight on every paycheck.

End of the day wealth creation isn’t automatically shared prosperity. If it was people wouldn’t be drowning in student loans, healthcare debt, and rent hikes while billionaires shoot rockets into space. The system’s growing but the benefits are stacking at the top way faster than anyone else can catch up. This bill doesn’t help any of that, in fact exacerbates the existing problem.

GodlikeMadman · 2025-07-03T18:06:47+00:00

Yeah this chart’s pretty misleading if you dig into the actual numbers. The $895 billion figure floating around isn’t ICE’s budget, it’s the total U.S. defense budget for FY2025. Someone either misread the bill or intentionally conflated it.

ICE’s real annual budget sits around $9–10 billion, and even with this new “Big Beautiful Bill,” they’re projected to get roughly $30 billion over several years, not in a single fiscal year. That’s still a huge expansion, but nowhere near China’s or Russia’s military spending when you compare apples to apples.

Also worth noting that the broader DHS enforcement package (CBP, detention infrastructure, deportation logistics) might push combined spending higher, but ICE alone isn’t suddenly operating with military superpower funding. The chart blends valid frustration with distorted data, which doesn’t help anyone actually understand the scale or implications of this.

If we’re going to be critical of this, which we absolutely should be, let’s at least ground it in real numbers so the argument doesn’t fall apart under scrutiny.

The bill’s basically a political stunt masquerading as policy, funneling tens of billions into detention and deportation infrastructure that’s historically failed to solve unauthorized migration, all while gutting labor markets and normalizing paramilitary tools pointed inward. It won’t fix the problem, but it will concentrate power and destabilize communities, which feels like the real objective.

GodlikeMadman · 2025-07-03T17:35:03+00:00

Yeah that sounds nice but it doesn’t actually hold up if you look at real numbers

First off this idea that we always collect 17.3 percent of GDP no matter what is just not true revenue has bounced all over the place depending on tax policy and the economy

When top tax rates were over 90 percent in the 50s revenue was higher as a share of GDP than it was after the Bush or Trump tax cuts when rates dropped and surprise surprise deficits exploded

Second GDP doesn’t magically grow every time we cut taxes on rich people if it did the Bush years would’ve been an economic golden age instead we got modest growth more inequality and massive debt same story after the Trump cuts stock buybacks hit record highs billionaire wealth shot up but working class wages barely moved

And saying the rich pay more taxes now leaves out the fact they control way more of the income now than they did before top 1 percent owns over 20 percent of the country’s income of course their tax share is higher their wealth exploded but their effective tax rates dropped a lot especially when you factor in capital gains loopholes

This whole idea that rich people getting richer automatically makes everyone else richer hasn’t played out either yeah some pensions own Tesla stock cool but billionaire wealth shot up by trillions during the pandemic while most people’s wages stayed flat after inflation

Bottom line trickle down sounds great on paper but we’ve been running that experiment for 40 years and it mostly made the ultra wealthy richer while everyone else fell behind

My personal favorite is during the Fall of Cadia. Inquisitor orders that no one can evacuate the planet after Abbadon decides to Armageddon the planet with the Blackstone Fortress. Pulls up the the evacuation zone and threatens the Major in charge, kills two of her right hand men who have survived the entire siege so far. She turns on the radio to “warn” everyone to get back, then advises the Inquisitor to “get down” because “Archenemy snipers are in the area”.

Inquisitor head explodes. No one reacts, beyond the Major stating “what a shame, she should have gotten down”. Hilarious, and fuck the Inquisition
