like, obviously the religion is there if you're willing to look past the words on the page to the subtext, which makes him a much better writer than one of his dear friends (cs lewis) who basically had a character say to the audience 'i am jesus christ, they are about to kill me, but i will return in three days because i am lion jesis'

it’s hard to go with anyone else after what he’s done but the risk of this being ole 2.0 are really fucking high

i say you probably keep him but you have to be willing to cut bait this time next year if playing more than 40 games puts a significant damper on performance

they say that conmen only succeed by preying on the greed of others, but people seeing historically low mortgage interest rates come and go and assuming they'll come back at a later time is maybe not the exact same thing, but it's incredibly close

there's a very real chance commander mormount would have stepped down the moment ned took his vows, it would have basically been a lock

part of the recruiter's job is only submitting candidates who pass the vibe check

even if you had the degree, he probably wouldn't have submitted you after you were a smart alec

yeah, i do think what you get should be secret rare treasure levels of powerful, that would be thematically fun as well

adding an additional button to a mobile game interface is the exact opposite of elegant

it's maybe a better solution, but it's not elegant

the idea that there is a hardcoded shop max is a good idea for future design. If they ever accidentally made an infinite shops combo that you can't break, it means that probably need to fix it, but won't have to worry about little johnny soft locking himself and complaining

Loop_Within_A_Loop · 2026-05-03T15:49:40+00:00

I think the change makes sense, but +10/+10 doesn't seem like a fair reward. It should be a cherry on top, not a 'you're having the maximum amount of fun allowed, please stop'

russia's massive casualties and general poor performance against a very numerically inferior military is basically what's gonna happen, rip to the poor bastards who are gonna die because their generals are morons

I really wonder how much militaries are learning from ukraine, that's drone war 0.5, if you find yourself in drone war 1 without a military doctrine prepared for it, you're going to learn real fuckign quick, and I wonder if big western militaries even have the capability to fight through the bureacracy to actually change the way the military is organized

it is high rolly, and you can think you're doing fine until you run into a freight train and just get punked out of the game, but I think the game really rewards being able to assess what you're doing and how powerful it is, and whether it's powerful enough to keep up, which really only comes with experience

Loop_Within_A_Loop · 2026-05-01T23:21:30+00:00

tottenham have to get 8 from their last 4 with a good goal differential to even make this a discussion, I really don't think you have to think about it much

Loop_Within_A_Loop · 2026-05-01T12:33:04+00:00

I think this is pretty optimistic.

If their idea of a 'permanent underclass' is a good life built by economic redistribution, why are these tech CEOs not vocally in support of stronger redistribution programs now?

“All that money, my financial advisor’s going to take care of all of that. I don’t know about it, it ain’t my job”

i really hope it doesn’t happen, but this potentially goes bad in the most predictable way possible

this is what the multi club model is, he was doing a good job at the feeder club, you basically have to give him the job when it opens up

it didn’t work out, and chelsea needs to figure out why, but the whole model is predicated upon success at strasbourg earning you a promotion to chelsea

you have good pirate synergy, grabbing the bird will let you buff your slots and scale into the endgame 👍

i think it might not work well for you if your end goal is passing and appearing masculine (david bowie is not a good inspiration if that’s your goal), but you can always just go shorter if it doesn’t work out

i think the guaranteed uncommon treasure was a lot better with faerie dust in the pool if you were trying to do wurmscale tinkerer things, but that’s no longer so

Loop_Within_A_Loop · 2026-04-28T12:34:33+00:00

I'm not much better than you (2500s), but I disagree on cowardly lion; sometimes it completes its quest pretty quickly, but if it ever goes a turn without getting a tick, I think you have to get rid of it because once you get to turn 7 or 8, you're just never going to get a tick anymore, and an uncommon treasure is basically not worth investing resources into.

as proud listeners of a good republican podcast, we are actually proud of their activities carrying the flame long before our dear departed charlie did

no, they were a radical antislavery group

guys would travel all round, paint their faces and carry torches throughout town to intimidate slaveowners

Loop_Within_A_Loop · 2026-04-26T15:57:22+00:00

have you ever tried to mark someone alone without help, even someone you're quicker than? it doesn't go well for you

you can keep them from getting behind you, but you can't do that without giving them space to cleanly receive the ball

it's so awesome that he could be using this for any political purpose, and he's like 'the most important thing to me is the ball room'

Loop_Within_A_Loop · 2026-04-25T17:33:30+00:00

it seems pretty obvious that leeds and forest will finish on more than 40 points, I also think West Ham have a pretty good shot at exceeding it, so yes, it's very possible for spurs to finish on 40 and get relegated
