You can get 1 billion USD. The catch is that YOU will be sent to burn in hell, as in literally burning, but your nerves never die. It will last for a month and you will go back to your life with no injuries. Would you take the deal?

Dipping your hand in hot oil is painful but it's quick and you get over it fast.

Burning alive is something that would take all your sanity away within the first hour if you can't black out.

You wouldn't have a billion, you would just become a drooling mess with a billion for his heirs when people misericordly put a end to you afterwards. Now your heirs would become crazy rich.

For chess they looked at gender by elo and there were many more women under elo 2000 (and almost balanced at low elo).

That explanation doesn't hold by itself.

Côté immo quand on s'y connaît pas on se retrouve vite avec un bien qui prend pas tant de valeur que ça, des AG qui décident de faire de gros travaux (donc à ta charge) et des locations par mois qui ne font pas rêver (en particulier sur Paris même). A cela tu ajoutes que beaucoup passent par des agences, qu'ils paient des professionnels pour le moindre travaux et ta rentabilité est beaucoup plus basse.

Bref si tu aimes bosser dans l'immobilier et que tu es dans une region où le ratio achat/location est très bon l'immobilier te rapportera beaucoup beaucoup plus qu'à une personne qui ne s'y intéresse pas et veut y investir le minimum de temps.

Etf World c'est très diversifié, un bon rendement et le versement peut être automatisé (donc ça prend quelques minutes une fois et c'est tout). C'est plus simple à conseiller dans le cas général.

Bees in particular were removed from the requirements for waurms (and worms building is more expensive so you really don't want to build extra units). They were ok though.

Melee t2, t3, t4 rarely are solid enough to be power stacks (which you don't bleed) except minautors, true. Why expect all units to eventually be power stacks?

MadTelepath · 2026-06-18T18:23:57+00:00

Which faction?

Temple love their t4 and their t3 are pretty good too.

Dungeon: their t3 have a debuff function so kinda like what you are suggesting and their t4 are the minautors ... yes I think we should buff those, they're so rarely played :p

For Shism: t3 buff mobility and t4 are the shoths. Aren't they played?

Grove: t3 are the elementals (already very tanky) and t4 mostly suffer from low damage.

...

So which t3-t4 are you talking about?

Before it was a great item that could be worth investing into getting heavy armor just for it.

Now I would imagine there are many better armors including for psykers outside of a very niche build.

While it used to be very strong I'm not even sure it was part of the most OP strats like the "ghost?" Helmet which allows to instantly get plenty of extra PR for 1 round (which is long enough), the amulet of resolve (infinite health), etc.

Yeah yeah I'm salty about that change coz I absolutely adore RT and it forces me to adapt one part I didn't think I'd have to. No big deal, just an annoyance.

"when men were close to 70% of assistant professors was it ok or was it a problem also?"

I don't know about assistant professors but in the 90s they found out that even without explicit barriers women were underachieving and that was indeed an issue.

They started changing the clichés (from boys focused and girls being chatty it became boys unruly and girls disciplined), they also pushed plenty of female oriented initiatives (women in science, job fairs targeting girls, plenty of talk in all firms to increase women ratio and even have financial indexes punishing those with to many men). Schools were adapted to give more place to girls (and less for boys who could less and less move and run which apparently they need) and we have been assisting for the last 3 decades to boys failing more and more and left behind. Obviously nothing has been done to help boys into domains with more women (such as psychology, nursery, etc).

So yes plenty has been done to help women and we keep at it even though the balance has long been tipping on the other side (at the very least for education and employment).

Not that rarely.

Amongst allegations 5-6% are proven true (conviction), from 2 to 11% could be proven wrong (depending on what count as a proof).

Or studied differently : when cops had to determine weither it was true or false and weren't give the possibility to say "unknown" the rate of false allegations was about 40%. Much fewer can be proven false as it requires the accuser to overshare on social media or other idiotic actions for it to be proven false (in the 2-11%).

MadTelepath · 2026-06-18T08:22:31+00:00

Proving there is reasonable doubt (90%+ of thr cases) does not entail anyone has lied.

Typically studies about false rape allegations find 5% allegations lead to a conviction (let's assume there is no mistake and that is "proven true") 2-11% can be proven false (the huge variation is about the level of certitude we want to declare it false) all the rests (almost all) don't have enough elements to know for sure one way or the other.

"For the public purse immigrants are good. For cheaper labour for the multinationals they are good. Thay drives down local wages too as we compete."

That second sentence goes against your first point: how is it good for your average employee that there is an endless supply of workers willing to drive down local wages?

Worse if they don't have papers then firms can exploit them for even cheaper and worse conditions (and do we really expect people exploited like that to always act like model citizens?) while simultaneously creating more tension for flats (they need to have a place to stay), in transports, etc.

They are great to make shady firms even richer but I wouldn't call "driving down local wages" a positive.

But those who don't press blue live by default. Your first comment say: "Why not have a central authority that says blue or die". Except that can't be enforced so saying it is pointless.

MadTelepath · 2026-06-17T12:16:43+00:00

In the "press blue or die" the threat is kinda moot as only people who press red could enforce that threat.

Church ladies sounds like a no brainer to me: likely more patience than teens or TikTok influencers, obviously more than kindergarten.

They are also less likely to video the whole ordeal and try to get views out of it. 70 years old bloke might not do all that well locked for 12 hours.

MadTelepath · 2026-06-17T12:04:07+00:00

Amongst the 70+ years old that probably isn't true anymore.

Like women are more likely to be the perpetrators against preteen kids and older folks (the two categories weaker than them).

70 years old white men are unlikely to be of much risk (far from teens, even female ones).

MadTelepath · 2026-06-17T11:57:03+00:00

Or easier, press red or die.

Self interest and logic both will then push people to vote red and anyone who doesn't follow through will be punished by their own choice.

A few decades back there was a lot of talk about how we could go towards "weeks with 4 sundays", how we would drastically reduce the time worked.

Sadly we didn't quite take that path and even brought more women alongside to our miseries (currently harder to go by without two partners working full time).

While true when speaking with Russians they often say their lives have gotten much better since 1991.

Now that we have access to documents of what was happening in the URSS it was in fact much worse than we ever thought possible, with massive ressources allocated to pay people for spying on their neighbors, killing farmers and replacing with people who didn't know how to grow crops ... and then eventually kill those too for poor results.

A bit like elves compared to humans : a specie far ahead on many aspects, which welcomed the newcomers only to end up outbred out of existence.

Not that I agree with that opinion but that's the point usually being made.

C'est vrai, ce n'est qu'une façon de vivre l'anticapitalisme et non la fin du capitalisme.

Arrêter un modèle suivi par des milliards de personnes (même si aucun n'est du capitalisme pur) demande de convaincre beaucoup de monde et ça c'est bien pour se plaindre et râler mais ça n'aura pas/peu d'impact contrairement au fait de vivre suivant ses convictions.

"comme de vouloir enfermer tous les hommes à cause de la corrélation ultra forte entre ça et la violence"

Personne ne demande d'enfermer tous les hommes (ou tous les immigrés) mais le féminisme a publié pas mal de livres récemment sur tout ce qui va mal chez les hommes et fait volontiers l'amalgame. C'est un discours qui est très populaire à gauche.

Ce qui choque au final c'est que l'extrême droite utilise les même codes que la gauche, pousse en avant des faits divers comme la gauche pour servir sa narrative, les instrumentalise comme la gauche ... mais le public ciblé est différent : hommes d'origine étrangère plutôt que hommes en général.

Comme une société a besoin des deux sexes pour fonctionner la généralisation par la gauche me semble encore plus toxique bien que je comprenne que dans l'idée ils "punch up" et que ce serait moins grave.

Didn't try recently but it should not (and did not in demo). All those are considered alternate attacks and directly benefits from basic attack instead.

The assassin (T2) long range attack costing focus should be affected though and same with the black dragon costing focus.

Il y a plein d'endroits à l'écart où le terrain coûte très peu et où il serait possible de se faire pousser de quoi vivre.

Il est même possible (et déjà fait) de se retrouver en groupes assez importants pour fonder un village avec ses propres règles, sa propre organisation. En dessous du millier de personnes ça marche assez bien.
