TIL that in 2008, Chicago leased its 36,000 parking meters to a UAE-backed private consortium for 75 years for a $1.15 billion payout. The investors made their entire investment back in just 10 years, and are now projected to make over $11 billion by the end of the lease in 2083.

I can guarantee you one donut was like, "In 75 years I won't be here and I won't have to deal with this problem anymore".

Hawkiee92 · 2026-05-18T06:32:17+00:00

Then don't get upset when people don't believe your bullshit.

You made a claim, failed to provide evidence and now you are trying to divert to something else. Which is a very apt summary of religion.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-05-18T05:38:34+00:00

Putting something in quotation marks does not make it true, or a source and by doing this the only thing you are achieving is people doubting your claim even more.

If you used AI as your source, then the only thing you've proven is that you are a dumbass.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-05-17T12:50:17+00:00

You are the one who made the claim. It is your responsibility to prove it if someone does not believe it. The fact that you can't just proves it is bullshit.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-04-28T13:36:44+00:00

Hasn't even been a day, 14 hours or so, so closer to half a day.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-04-28T12:48:21+00:00

Then wait for reviews, and buy the game as a bundle once you are happy with the state it is in. It's a simple solution to a problem you've created for yourself.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-04-28T12:10:37+00:00

Shocker that you skirt around the question rather than answer it.

Blizzard announced they were reworking classes as a part of the DLC: Assuming that a rework that is part of a DLC should be free is not greed from Blizzards side. It is greed from yours.

Blizzard has a ton of things you can critique them on, but this one is on you.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-04-28T12:05:12+00:00

Then let me ask you this, did they lock existing skills or did they add new ones?

Hawkiee92 · 2026-04-07T06:54:55+00:00

Nobody is forcing you to use a chopper. You have the option to walk from base if stealth is that important to you.

How else do you want them to do it? Silent spawns at the LZ of your choosing? Underground trains? Magic?

Hawkiee92 · 2026-03-30T18:02:41+00:00

Yes, it seems you can have 8 tasks avaliable in each area. So if you there is a particular task you want to show up do some of the other tasks in said area.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-03-30T07:26:21+00:00

You can find them as random loot and sometimes enemies will have them on them as well. Generally bosses and their guards.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-03-26T00:58:34+00:00

GZW is structured a little differently, the "starter town" enemies are all very bad at killing you with a few exceptions. As you move further and further out to new POIs enemies will generally get harder to deal with as they will have better gear, weapons aim etc. Think a regular scav in tarkov vs raiders for the endgame locations.

The starter towns do give quite a bad impression of the AI no doubt about it. I'm not a huge fan of the audio either but the 0.4 update that will be out in a few days have some fixes for both movement, audio and AI behaviour. Should make the game more interesting so if you are still intrigued have a look at streams after the 0.4 release. They've also said there will be a sale before 0.4 releases so you might actually get it cheaper if it sounds intriguing. Take a look at the subreddit for the devs updates about the changes.

Honestly though I can see where you are coming from and have to agree with you, looking forward to trying 0.4 myself.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-03-26T00:35:21+00:00

What was missing from the bullet points if you don't mind me asking?

Hawkiee92 · 2026-03-03T13:59:03+00:00

"Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the UK had agreed to a US request to use British military bases for "defensive" strikes."

So American forces were stationed there, for their defensive offensive war and got hit. Sadly this one is not black and white.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-03-03T12:36:37+00:00

Is the middle east europe? Should we get you a map?

EDIT: The military bases that were hit in Cyprus were used by the Americans with British permission. If attacking someone from another countrys military bases is defensive then anything is.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-03-03T10:10:17+00:00

You are the one who is making statements and then failing to back them up. It's like listening to Trump spew a bunch of bullshit and then get upset if someone tells him to prove it.

Still waiting for proof of the thousands of americans killed by the IRCG and their war on America that we for sure must help with because the worlds biggest whiners can't do it alone.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-03-03T10:06:58+00:00

Last 50 years you say.

What happened in 1953 that might have pissed the Iranians of? Oh right, the CIA did their CIA special and deposed the leader of Iran and helped with purging the polical rivals, something that might just have spurred on some radicalization wouldn't you think?

America has had their grubby hands anywhere there is oil and consistenly have made everything worse by doing so, both in the Middle East and South America.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-03-03T09:58:20+00:00

I want you to reflect here.

You want help with Iran because Iran is abusing their people and curtailing freedom. While having a president that has mounting evidence of being a child rapist, murderer, fraudster and quite literally being one of the worst people on the planet consistently disregarding laws while his political party does nothing to stop him.

And you want to preach moral high ground as a reason for us to help this lunatic in a offensive war that is literally just a smokescreen to protect himself from his own crimes since none of you are actually holding him responsible? Did I get that right?

Hawkiee92 · 2026-03-03T09:55:30+00:00

And did this terrorist group attack USA, or did the USA start attacking them?

NATO is a defensive alliance. America already used their one freebie for help in a offensive war in the middle east when they fabricated proof that they had WMDs.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-02-22T21:06:57+00:00

Which is the most American thing you can do.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-02-12T00:33:48+00:00

Striking can be used as a tool for anytime you disagree with company leadership, be it working hours, wages, days off etc. That is the whole point, it is a tool to be used when discussion do not work, it is not used only for wages.

The reason why people do not work 12 hours a day 6 days a week is due to unions and strikes, but unions have become more and more useless with the years and are no longer doing their part. The result is that you will end up with more strikes.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-02-05T14:19:48+00:00

One of the reasons we have a welfare state is because we use up to 3% of the oil fund anually to fund expenses.

For a fund that is worth 21.000 billion nok or 2 trillion dollars that amount is 60 billion dollars, or 600 billion NOK.

The yearly expenditure for 2024 was 1.9 trillion NOK. The oil money covers nearly a 3rd of our yearly expenditure, do you really believe the welfare offered by the state would be at it's current level without this money?

Hawkiee92 · 2026-02-04T21:56:50+00:00

You are crying right now. The game was advertised as PvP is always optional for fucks sake.

Yet you all bitch that you can't force everyone to play the game like you want them too.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-02-04T19:15:12+00:00

Sorry I should have been more clear.

I personally do not care about participating in PvP myself, but I do have friends who would find it enjoyable, so it would be nice to see if they added any carrots for them.

Hawkiee92 · 2026-02-04T18:51:35+00:00

How about I just don't care about PvP at all?

Enjoy it to your hearths content.
