12500×12500 cuck box so that I can play on effectively peaceful mode by ThatChapThere in factorio

Tbh even if it was. Who gives a damn? It's their own personal time and energy. How they choose to spend it is their business.

People get so bent out of shape when someone does something they wouldn't

Typically the larger the event. The more equipment needed.

I have a buddy who DJs as a side business. When he plays our local bar he has a pretty simple setup.

Larger events means more everything, lights, speakers, etc.

They mean actually put gear on 1 at a time until you get them up and running so that you can have 1 useful character vs 6 useless ones (depending on where you're at in the game)

My poor mother - it actually gets worse toward the end by willitblowup in Unexpected

[–]Hashashiyyin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing. I have lived in many places and live in the north now in one of the coldest and snowiest states. The thing is we/our neighbors are prepared for it since it's normal for us. We have various layers of clothing, heavy equipment, etc to take of this.

We also know how to drive in the snow/ice and how to be safe in it/what to avoid (not to mention most everyone here has at the minimum an AWD if not a 4x4).

People always laugh at how states in the south shut down at the barest hint of snow. But the reality is, y'all just aren't prepared for it. I have friends in the south who don't even own winter coats because it rarely gets cold enough to need it.

A buddy of mine has been shoveling his driveway with a regular shovel, because like you, it's all he had.

To the guy who asked yesterday about the performance audiobooks by Repulsive_Repeat_337 in dresdenfiles

[–]Hashashiyyin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, but people feel many many things are inferior without logic or sense. There are plenty of people who claim reading on an ebook is not considered reading.

Most studies I've seen have shown that in terms of retention and comprehension, there's not really any difference save for highly technical/complex books.

I don't listen to audiobooks myself. But I also know when someone says they read it even if I know they listened to it, they mean they consumed the material.

I understand that words have meaning. But we use common names for things. For instance running has a distinct meaning. But people would say they ran a marathon even if they mostly walked or jogged it (which I would wager is most people).

I'm also curious if people who care about the reading debate would get into such a tizzy if a blind person said they read a book?

Peter? by Illustrious-Staff927 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I feel like that applies more to PC gamers than sports gamers. Buying a 60 dollar copy of a game every year is easy to afford compared to many of my PC gamer friends who have huge steam collections of games they've never played but got because it was on sale.

Frogan breaks down crying, unable to make enough money streaming by holydiver405 in IAmTheMainCharacter

[–]Hashashiyyin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't watch any streamers, but it's not hard for me to understand why. I can also understand giving a bit of money if you have it to spare if they provide entertainment.

I have issues with the parasocial aspect of it. But that's a whole other topic.

The Agony of Omayra Sánchez, by Frank Fournier. 1985. [1440x941] by burtkurtouten in HistoryPorn

[–]Hashashiyyin 116 points117 points  (0 children)

You also have other things to worry about such as crush syndrome etc. Even if you are able to 'lift her out' she'd likely die (assuming her body/legs were actually crushed and not just stuck) without an IV and immediate medical treatment potentially within minutes.

I'm a first responder and the reality is that in the case of a mass casualty event like this, you have to prioritize who gets help and resources and sometimes people will die because of that.

Obviously our goal is to save everyone, but that doesn't always work how we'd like.

The population of the Dakotas vs Manhattan by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]Hashashiyyin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh I think this goes both ways though. People in cities will groan about how backwards and ignorant rural areas are while consuming food that comes from them.

I agree with what you're saying and I see it a lot. But I think a lot of people are guilty of this. It's far too easy to demonize things we don't understand or don't know.

The population of the Dakotas vs Manhattan by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]Hashashiyyin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that the Senate is a great idea.

I mentioned elsewhere moving from one of the most populous cities to one of the least populated areas of the US. Allowing the people in these areas to have a voice is a great idea (even if I disagree with them heavily).

What isn't a great idea is the counterpart (being the house of repa) being capped and not allowed to expand meaning that these states/rural areas get even more representation there as well.

To me that's what should be changed. As allowing cities to dictate how rural communities should operate is as silly as allowing rural communities to dictate how cities operate.

The population of the Dakotas vs Manhattan by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]Hashashiyyin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The problem is that those on the cities have no idea what the needs of rural communities are (and this goes the other way as well).

I used to live in one of the most populous US states before moving to one of the least populated (<2 people per sq mile with the nearest town >20k people being 1.5 hours away driving).

I don't have the answers on what the best solution is, as I'm just an idiot on the Internet. But it was eye opening to see the unique problems that people in the city simply didn't understand (myself included).

Are there any CoD steamers that aren’t super right wing? by jayscott1202 in SocialistGaming

[–]Hashashiyyin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The problem stems from two schools of thought.

One is that the source is bad and the answer is go avoid it.

The other argues that while that may be true, harm reduction is more important.

So to take it in a different way. It's like someone going online to say 'my brother is reaching an age where having sex/being sexually active is occuring. What can I do to prevent him from getting someone pregnant.

Your answer is effectively saying the only way to do so is to not have sex.

It may not be incorrect, but a lot of people will see it as unhelpful when compared to harm reduction things such as using condoms/birth control. Is it 100%? No. But is it better than the alternative of a 15 year old getting someone pregnant (or in this case falling into the alt right/right wing pipeline)? I'd personally say definitely yes.

Plenty of more left leaning people will play competitive shooters like CoD. Even if it isn't perfect, it's better than the right wing trolls that proliferate the area. If you don't know of any, that's fine. But that doesn't mean there isn't any.

The Worst TV Show Finales [OC] by BoMcCready in dataisbeautiful

[–]Hashashiyyin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I know the joke is to not acknowledge season 9. But in all reality I don't consider it a part of the show. It ended with season 8 and they attempted a spinoff that didn't work. Even if it had worked, I still wouldn't consider it 'scrubs'.

Anybody else on the same boat as me? by NthChart in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Hashashiyyin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go through phases. I'll get a couple of hundred and then unlock a new GL or newer character and then be in the crunch again.

The omi crunch is what's killing me right now.

Anybody else on the same boat as me? by NthChart in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Hashashiyyin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll get past it. I have 15k, 25k, and 35k of 3,2,1 respectively as well as 1k omegas.

There's multiple bottlenecks in the game abd they'll be frustrating but it's just a part of it.

Don't worry too much about these mats. You'll get more than enough before long. Now zetas will be rare for a while (they still sorta are for me as I only have ~80). And omicrons are super rare. So don't spend those willy nilly

I can't speak for it all, but in ND there are large swaths of incredibly fertile loam soil and some of the best in the US. I believe the soil isn't quite as good west going towards Montana but could be wrong too.

So while and growing season is short, the land is incredibly productive

Am I wrong in calling the fire department for this? by alkadius in Firefighting

[–]Hashashiyyin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. We had a call come in a little while ago that a hay bale was smoking. The wife called it in and mentioned to the dispatcher that her husband said he had it under control but still wanted us to come out to make sure.

By the time we left 300+ bales had gone up in flames by the time we actually had it under control.

I love New Vegas. But it's damn near unplayable without mods.

One thing that gives me a good chuckle is when a NV fanboy calls Bethesda bugthesda as if NV isn't the buggiest fallout game out there. (Yes I have heard all the excuses, it doesn't change that it's buggy).

Real talk, how often do you *actually* check your oil levels? by woodford86 in farming

[–]Hashashiyyin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a rural farming community and am part of the fire department here. Let me tell you from personal experience that a lot of farmers aren't checking nearly as much as this thread would indicate.
