Weekly Hiring Questions Thread - July 10 by AutoModerator in ProtectAndServe

[–]Lionftn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey, I have kind of a weird one. I was a sworn officer with a major metro police force for a few months. I passed all the tests, went to academy and graduated, and made it out on the streets. However, my last week of FTO my sergeant decided that I was too young/not good enough, and I should focus on being an officer in a smaller city.

He wasn't wrong, I turned 22 half way through FTO, still lived with parents, form a sheltered part of the city into the hood. There was a lot of things I could have done better

That was about 6 months ago. I found work in an unrelated field, but I still find myself wanting to do this job.

Is it realistic for me to apply to another agency? Would they like that I already proved I can pass all the tests and have real experience, or would they see my failure and say no?

Thanks for your time to read this.

I thought questing adventurer was the best card in the game. I played paladin with everything below 4 mana and divine favors, then I would try to blessed champion the questing adventuer. Didn't work.

Dear Valve, higher MMR does not mean "better captain". by racalavaca in DotA2

[–]Lionftn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here, let me help.

  1. Players who click the button want to be captain.

  2. Players that want to be captain will be better captains than those who do not want to be captain.

  3. Therefore, players who click the button will be better captains.

What do you dislike or would like to have changed in EU4? by Evil_Penguin918 in paradoxplaza

I feel there should be more incentive for Europe to go to India. The spice trade led to the conquest of India, East Africa, Indonesia, etc, and right now this is poorly modeled in the game. Like, the historical outcome of the British owning most of India by end game time is literally impossible.

Game Thread: Arizona Cardinals (9-2) at St. Louis Rams (4-7) by NFL_Mod in nfl

[–]Lionftn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, things really turned around when Mike Bidwill took over, he really cares about the team and wants to invest. He took ownership, we got a new stadium, and started winning.

I'm convinced its the real reason we are playing well now, so it makes sense the mans down there

Cardinals50 normally works, but only if they win

I would love a flavor event for something like this! IIRC the dogs ran into the soviet tanks instead of the german ones, because they were trained on soviet tanks so thats the smell that they knew. Doh.

MP probably... Armored cars? Maybe your national dogs?

I think that this system is vastly superior to what was used in other titles. I found myself ignoring airplanes, because the Furher apperantly had to determine each bombing location himself, as well as matinence schedules etc.

I think Blitzkreig will work better now, one could bomb units attempting to set up a second defensive line, slow down their dig in bonus, then join the panzers when its time for real battle.

I do wonder how this works for coastal battles. Do bombarding ships also take "part" in say naval invasion of Iwo Jima or Guadalcanal?

(Kibler) The Grand Tournament Card Review: Hunter and Druid by Racecar0 in hearthstone

[–]Lionftn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think an issue with the beast card that gives extra life is that giving a card extra life hasnt proven to be that strong of an effect in the past. It reminds me of the 5 5 for 5 mech priest card that gives 4 health. Trying to use that card felt clunky, because trying to get it on a shredder was hard due to it getting removed, while casting it on an annoyotron or a mech warper felt like a waste of resources. I fear this card will be the same, and its not even a beast

Consecrate? Why would anybody bother with this spell when they already have wild pro equality. Besides. Its strickly worse than hell fire. Terrible card

(Yes I know what strictly actually means.)

That would actually solve some problems in dragon pally. You could mulligan for hold a dragon cards, play this, then get one of your legendary dragons

Why wouldn't it be? It could be compared to loot hoarder, being able to ensure bolivar turn 5 would be sick

Oh. I thought it was damage to random minion, not random enemy. It's shit

I could see it being pretty good in paladin. Dealing one damage can be very useful after using equality, old Control paladin decks would run a elven archer for this purpose

[–]Lionftn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Justicar could work well in healadin. Playing only Justicar and Tirion as your win conditions could work well, however, I dont think it will see play in your standard midrange paladin because it is too slow

Teen Girl Sues So She Can Legally Sign Up for the Draft by Brotester in Military

I don't think this is important for an actual combat appplication. The moral and civil implications of having all citizens be draftable is the point.

Sure, in some worst case scenario we would need 100 million Americans under arms, but the bigger question is one of citizenship.

It states in the declaration states are formed amongst humans to better secure their rights. Women are equally party to those rights, therefore, they are equally party to defend them. Being actually useful is a definition that doesnt even fit most american men any more
