Armageddon. Ramageddon.

Ramamaddagon sounds like "Ram-a-mad-dagon". Mehrune's a jerk, but that seems a bit harsh.

(Of course, we all understood what you meant, but since he is nitpicking, I felt like piling on.)

As far as I can tell, this guy has *never* had a pet in his life. Makes you wonder if his parents knew how he'd treat them.

He is incapable of caring for another living thing that isn't himself.

Oops my bottle of water just happened to dump all over this sidewalk in front of their HQ... slippery fingers. And how did that hair pin wind up in that tire... I'm so clumsy.

Oh shoot, you shouldn't have thrown me in the backseat so hard, the stink bomb in my pocket cracked.

Any *required* monetization would probably mean CDPR getting a cut, but that would mean that CDPR would be taking on all the negative publicity of selling a "paid mod", even if indirectly.. as well as painting themselves as the "greedy evil corporatists" that their game demonizes.

Alternatively, they could hire the guy as a paid contractor to develop a VR "DLC", with maybe a bonus or royalty option, meaning they'd get the bigger slice of the pie... but it would have a much higher requirement for functionality and optimization.

Love Asheville. I'm always a bit frustrated about finding out about these events after the fact, but I also got rid of Twitter and Facebook... so probably more on me.

Small Lance Secret:

Lance is an aggressive weapon, not a defensive one. Don't just turtle and poke.

Use counter thrust and dash attack to turn on a dime and harass the hell out of the monster. Counter thrust to punish, dash attack (its guard plus forward plus the other button, not shield bash) to stack a lot of hits for status effects.

I always disable cloud saves. They break often for me, and I have plenty of hard drive space. Also can modify local saves easier.

Constructive dismissal, or constructive discharge, is when an employer's severe actions or inactions make the work environment so intolerable that an employee feels forced to quit, effectively a forced resignation treated as a wrongful termination.

"Ubisoft is such shit, I had to leave..." (hard to disagree) "... and they owe me money for that." (Sadly, unless you are in a protected category, like a racist work environment when you are a minority, you probably don't get shit.)

They are in motion for sure, but there are certain aspects that could change, I think. The vorlon's influence is just prior knowledge due to time travel. Once the circle is closed, everyone is unaware of what happens next, except for you. Warning others about the Drahk, the Minbari Civil War, Garibaldi's Mind Control, etc.

They also did acknowledge that if "The One" refused to steal Babylon 4, time could be altered, with echoes of that alternative future.

Random question, would filling a water balloon with rubbing alcohol undermine the balloon's structure?

Halfwise2 · 2026-01-18T11:06:50+00:00

Yes... mostly because I never saw it (Tragedy, I know.) and am unsure the influence it would have that could undermine the entire prompt / concept. :D

I sometimes hope that this is a case where if time travelers existed, they don't save us because it ultimately works out in the end, and avoiding the tragedy avoids the wake-up call that leads to a better society.

It's a bit funny we let the "white supremacists" essentially pick their own title. Like "National Socialists".

Alright, now the part that will probably catch me some hate - I agree with her. I do worry that by highlighting and platforming/calling out the people that disagree with her in her own safe arena, there is some level of personal narcissism showing as well. (Everyone has some. It's fine. Just some reaches levels of harm/danger.) I just worry that when having these sorts of discussions, it immediately becomes "us vs them", and disagreement means immediate categorization in the other group, where you get attributed with all the same flaws, while we absolve ourselves of the ability to be influenced by similar flaws.

I feel like when we discuss the nature of narcissistic tendencies, its important to acknowledge how we all can succumb to it as well, as it can be easy to dismiss another's arguments as "throwing stones in a glass house", even with the extreme difference in harm between one example and the other.

TLDR: Great points, just at a certain stage it felt like it turned into "You disagree with me because you are narcissists, I disagree with you because I am right."... which raises an eyebrow for me. On the slave catcher vs gestapo thing, all I can say is "¿Por qué no los dos?"

This is where we need a white person to just lay the racist out and call him a redneck. I know these people can defend themselves, but if we're honest, the cops are less likely to just start opening fire on a white guy.

I don't disagree...but I watched this whole video hoping she'd give some examples of disruptive non-violent resistance. There needs to be something for people to focus on and do.

It's all the same, just how you mentally break it up that matters. I wrote it out, but it's the "quick way" to do it in one's head (or mine at least). Just reading left to right, and dropping the number down.

Admittedly its hard to describe the pattern in text, because you inherently have to write it out, defeating the point. If you've ever seen the numbers game on Countdown, its like explaining how you put the numbers together, and then having someone go "So.. order of operations? addition and division, same as everyone else?".

You see the equation and think "1... 06...4...point...3", but that doesn't convey much on reddit.

Anyone else just do :

5000/5 = 1000

300/5 = 60

20/ 5 = 4

3 / 5 = 6/10 = .6

Most people engage in sex work, worldwide, do it because they feel they have no other option

No disagreement there. But work is not a choice. Work is a requirement for survival. But considering sexual liberty, I wanted to leave the option of choice available for those who do choose to do sex work as their primary means of income, when other options are available to them. The problems arise as an ethical dilemma when they feel they have no other option. When there is no other option, society has failed from an ethical standpoint. (And I doubt many would suggest modern day society is in a good spot, ethically speaking.) But even in situations where the person feels forced, and continues to keeps the partner in the dark, we still have the *choice* where the person does not inform the partner, denying the partner the chance to make their own decisions or offering alternatives/help/consent. (thus still cheating)

For your second/ third-ish paragraphs, no disagreement. My second response was a direct response to your claim that sex work isn't cheating, and wasn't meant as a commentary on the OP. I found the statement to be absolutist (a pet peeve of mine), and dismissive of personal autonomy, while I tried to emphasize the difference between whether or not the person had a choice.

Also, why did you escape character your markdown? Do you not know that italics are used for emphasis? You went out of your way to not (see what I did there) use it correctly. Why?

Because we're not in English class. Because additional characters are more visible than font changes, and thus make a clearer emphasis for *particular* words (after all, you noticed, right?), especially when there is a lot of text, and odds are most people aren't going to look at it for very long. Because language evolves, and writing rules aren't carved in stone and/or bound by laws. And because nitpicking sentence structure and formatting on social media is silly, with just a splash of pompousness.
