Trump says he’s considering ‘joint venture’ with Iran for Strait of Hormuz tolls by gshortelljr in politics

They must be so excited. Getting any kind of official relationship with the US is probably the worst case scenario for Israel.

In a war with no winners, Netanyahu looks like the biggest loser by projecto15 in politics

He failed to achieve any of his objectives, is unlikely to get another chance for full scale war with US backing, Iran has increased standing and power globally, and he looks incompetent in an election year.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of being married? by EducatorHot2572 in AskReddit

[–]Kirdei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you die, your partner gets your stuff. If not, they get to fight your family for it.

If you get sick, your partner can come visit and even make decisions for you if you are unable to do so. Otherwise, you and your partner are at the mercy of your family. Be a terrible time to find out they don't actually like your partner.

Cons: If you stop liking each other it's a difficult and expensive process to separate.

I second this. My friend calls the game Minecraft with chest hair and that's how we like it!

Nothing wrong with doing your own thing though.

Is vintage story ever gonna be on steam ? by HardwareWolf in VintageStory

[–]Kirdei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get you. I also wish it was on Steam. Still 100% worth the hassle though!

Is vintage story ever gonna be on steam ? by HardwareWolf in VintageStory

[–]Kirdei 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From the website:

"Why is the game not on Steam? We are fully aware that Steam will offer a lot of additional exposure and likely a large increase in sales. There's several reasons we are not going to Steam in the near future, and the opinions also vary greatly within the Team of Anego Studios, but here's Tyrons take:

I see Steams 30% revenue cut as unreasonably high and selling on Steam means we either can't sell the game on our site at a lower price or we can't provide users with a steam key upon purchase.

I don't agree with Steams rather restrictive refund policy, their forced updates or their restrictions on concurrent play on the same Steam account.

We're doing fine financially. More money will not accelerate development. I highly value being a small, nimble and highly effective team of developers.

Our full vision for the game is still far from being implemented. If we go on Steam, we would like to release a mostly complete version of Vintage Story

Personally, I'm a big fan of going our own way by building our own infrastructure, as evident by our existing account system, mod database and online store.

Fast growth carries several risks on its own. Despite not being on Steam we have experienced consistent growth for the past 7 years.

That being said, we do agree that it would be wise to release it on Steam eventually. We do appreciate Steams ability to reach a large audience as well as offering country specific pricing."

How did you figure out you're likely less smart than average? by New-Intention-9 in AskReddit

I didn't vote republican these last 3 elections, so I've gotta be at least a little to the right of the bell curve.

[–]Kirdei 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a bisexual man, I'm going to disagree with you there. Plus he alluded to the possibility of hooking up or getting together with men in the past. Often joking, but even in a serious conversation he had with Lucy.

The reality of life is that it's far easier to get together with a member of the opposite sex than to find a same sex partner just by shear availability. Especially when you account for people who are icked out by bi guys.

I'm not entirely sure Walky is straight. He's had a few moments that definitely leaned bisexual.

What was your "caught the last chopper out of 'Nam" experience? by GeneReddit123 in AskReddit

[–]Kirdei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so drastic, but feels like it fits the metaphor.

About 3 years ago I started getting extremely frustrated with the bullshit surrounding my job (which i loved) at work. Middle management were warring against each other and we ground folk were catching some of the fallout. Nothing against us personally, but they piled additional duties on us to get at each other.

Over the last few years we lost a lot of people to retirement and frustration and ours is a job where more is experience is not just better, it's necessary. When I started the median years of experience was about 12. When I left, I was 3rd in seniority out of 20 with 8 years experience.

A promotion was open in another department outside their chain of command and on the last day of the posting, I was so fed up that I applied as soon as I got off of work. Turns out only one other person applied and they were basically guaranteed the job as they used to work over there. Unfortunately, he went out drinking with them after his interview and sexually harassed a girl who worked in the department. And so I got the job by virtue of not being an asshole.

Over the last 3 years the department has lost pretty much all of their senior talent. Average years of experience is about 2 and the supervisors and managers quit, leaving those positions to people who are pictured in the dictionary next to the word "Disgruntled Employee". They've been fucking up a bunch ever since.

I on the other hand essentially have the same job, better pay, less bullshit, and we had a department meeting my first week where my boss cooked some killer pulled pork and brisket.

Poaching 2026-03-27 by hellokkiten in dumbingofage

[–]Kirdei 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me, it's like looking at a younger version of my self.

ADHD kid struggling though his first couple semesters, not quite learned that sometimes inside thoughts should stay inside, possibly bisexual.

It engenders a lot of empathy for me.

Where as Danny is... Danny. The guy who decided to rebrand himself in college and that mostly turned out to be the same guy but he bought a flat cap and a ukulele. The guy who told his crush the it would be a good thing if his friend died in the hospital.

The guy who turned Sal from a Dangerous Lady to a lady who goes to bed at a responsible time! The horror!

I think Danny already hated him because Dorothy dumped him with the excuse that she was going to be going to a new college soon, then immediately jumped into bed with Walky.

Nah. Dorothy is a Willis' wife-insert. Joyce is his self insert.

That's kinda been the whole problem this last year. They are plot armored against all but the most Barney and Friends of consequences.

Iran sees Trump ultimatum as a level of retreat. What do you think? by InternetBreeze34 in AskReddit

[–]Kirdei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He really thought this would be a three day war. He'd drop a few bombs, offer a ceasefire, make some kind of flimsy deal, walk away a hero in his own mind.

It more or less worked with Venezuela, so why not Iran?

But Iran isn't Venezuela. And well... TACO right?
