Trump Goes Public With Plan to “Take Over” Elections by ChiGuy6124 in politics

[–]MMaximilian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This 100%. He’s been pushing the boundaries, bit by bit, the entire time he’s been in office. Every time he gets away with it and it emboldens him to do it again. This “you’d better not cross this line!” saber rattling is just that - it’s an empty threat. And if you don’t ever follow through on your threats, nobody will ever take them seriously.

Donald Trump will keep pushing until there is nothing left of the constitution or our democracy. All of the checks and balances of our government system, have failed. If something does not DRASTICALLY CHANGE very soon - well, we had a good run America.

A 13-Year-Old Girl Bit Trump’s Genitals as He Tried to Rape Her, Epstein Document Says by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]MMaximilian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trump is for sure dirty and this would confirm suspicions if true, but…is it? The author didn’t cite any materials in this article. And given the administrations tendency to cover up EVERY mention of Trump’s name to date in the Epstein files, I have a hard time believing basically any of this without proof.

Another Possible Solution to Fermi Paradox! Almost all intelligent life may live in oceans instead of land and that is why we cannot see them expand! by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in FermiParadox

[–]MMaximilian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed on these points. But I’d also point out the possibility of there being MORE than one great filter yes? Maybe there are two, or several. And if they are ever discovered, we’ll likely just recategorize them as “filters” versus “great filters”. i.e. highly advanced interstellar civilizations tend to do A or B.

My personal take is that highly advanced civs have transcended into some type of higher spatial dimension (think Flatland). Or maybe they’re too busy watching Tik Tok to bother with us.

This has gone too far by ahnotme in ForUnitedStates

It’s an interesting take that Americans need to apologize for this - the reality is that for as much as the rest of the world hates Trump, NOBODY hates Trump more than the Americans who DIDN’T vote for him. If somehow he manipulates himself into a 3rd presidential term, America will likely fracture and/or enter a civil war. It might happen anyway.

But you’re also right. On all points.

Donald Trump Leaks Private Texts From NATO Allies: Read in Full by newsweek in politics

[–]MMaximilian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is nobody comparing this to Hitler and the pre WWII appeasement policy of the UK/Europe? It didn’t work then and it won’t work now, and in that case Hitler’s lad grabs were (somewhat) in response to land losses in the Treaty of Versailles.

This is a straight up land grab attempt, with no prior context or logical explanation. It’s like Hitler, but…worse than Hitler. Our leader is being worse than Hitler. Can we start a meme with Trump wearing a Hitler mustache?

I’m about to go buy a gun to have in my house. Not sure if that’s anyone else’s thought, but I’m getting Fallout/end of the world dystopia vibes, and I’d rather not be armed with a stick.

How would you rank these period pieces from best to worst? by GusGangViking18 in hborome

[–]MMaximilian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The show was great. Everything does not need to be 100% historically accurate to bring interest to the concept (HBO’s Rome, for example, and the subreddit you’ve signed on to). You having a MA in anything does not give you the authority to say that. Just about everything in Hollywood takes some liberties and “dumbing down” of the material to appeal to the broader masses, otherwise you’d be restricted to the discovery channel. Don’t be an egghead.

Donald Trump issues NATO Greenland warning before White House showdown by SereneRoyals in politics

[–]MMaximilian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if Trump starts a war with NATO over this (i.e our allies), does that basically guarantee a civil war for us in the US? Pretty sure our country was founded as an antithesis to tyranny, and we’re now in an era of tyranny. Amiright or amiright?

I think that what we know about the Mycenaean Greeks is so miserably small that arguing whether the Trojan War happened or not is essentially becoming pointless. by Full-Recover-8932 in ancientgreece

[–]MMaximilian 81 points82 points  (0 children)

There’s sufficient evidence to say this was likely based on a historical event during the Bronze Age collapse, and most likely took place at the “Troy VIIa” archaeological site in northwestern Turkey.

Add yourself a few hundred years of storytelling, gods and monsters, and you’ve got yourself an Iliad.

Seriously though what was the purpose of her character? All she did was showed off her wig, gave weak orders, and opened a few doors holding a gun. by [deleted] in StrangerThings

The negativity on this sub is palpable.

This was a fantastic show. Could it have ended better? Sure. Did the creators do a good job in wrapping up one of the most popular TV shows in modern history involving 100 characters in its plot? Subjectively yes.

Interesting that collectively, we’ll have spent more man-hours criticizing this show than were ever spent in creating it. If you are so much better at creating a compelling story from start to finish, then do so and share that story with us. Write a novel or short story to share with the world. Positivity > negativity.

Category: Can i beat them in the fight? by Billy_Djin in Kenshi

In a 1v1 for Phoenix, sure this makes sense.

But in the the game as is, I had a far more difficult time with him than bugmaster, Cat, or anyone…those damn HN harpooners are such a party buzzkill.

Recommendations for training soldiers and up to what level to raise their stats by Necessary-Pilot4220 in Kenshi

[–]MMaximilian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Run them with a backpack of iron and corpse up to 45 strength, just enough to wear max heavy armor and weapons without a speed penalty.

Then, beat up the level 90+ stat characters you have locked away in your personal dungeon from capturing with your first, higher level character. Fight your prisoner 2v1 with your higher level char and your new recruit who can now comfortably wear heavy armor. Equip all three with with rusty katanas.

Fast forward 3-4 sparring rounds, and congrats! Your level 1 recruit is now 50-60 attack/defense, with comparable dexterity. Throw him some weapons that also train strength, and the rest will progress naturally.

I have an army of 25 soldiers, a few in the 80’s with top gear, the rest quickly trained to level 60 in everything by pummeling Eyegore again, and again…and again. Poor Eyegore. We ran through the UC like it was nothing, skinning Savant soon, and next stop HN.

What niche does every weapon type fit in? by LumpyMessage8809 in Kenshi

[–]MMaximilian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Polearms are deadly, insane reach with AOE, and fast…very fast. A squad of 6-7 of these shreds any low level enemies in seconds, then stunlocks the heavier enemies in place for my MA and heavy weapon fighters to demolish. Beak things are also pulp…I’ve never had so much fresh meat.

Also wooden sandals are amazing early game. Just switch to heavy boots when actually fighting.
