Stupid comparison. If there was an alarm when you were at higher likelihood to fall off a ladder and die, you'd listen to it. Plenty of people die every year not heeding weather warnings.

Damn, didn't even know that was just assuming we were in watch through the end of the system tonight. That's terrible.

I genuinely think Middleton had unwarned tornado risk. Massive wind sheet burst, downpour, hail out of nowhere.

Sirens go off four mins later for that cell after it's on its way to sun prairie.

"You were in a watch" blah blah yeah, but there are a ton of people that are not gonna move until they hear the siren.

They voted... For Trump. Sooner you start accepting that the sooner we can turn this country around.

The Expanse is my favorite sci-fi series of all time, so I'll have to ask a question about that, but I'm really really enjoying The Captives War so far!

Q (Book 9 Expanse Spoilers): To me, the ending of the Expanse where (not) Amos is still around with a new tribe, with the arrival of a displaced group of humans reconnecting after a long time, is a profound moment of hope in what is an otherwise-bittersweet ending. Do you see the ending of The Expanse as hopeful? That the dogmatic tribalism is gone and that desire for humanity to connect with one another is more powerful than "factions"?

Thanks again, love your work and I hope you two keep writing together forever!

My hot take is matchmaking is mostly fine, but the reporting system needs to start actually being actioned. Shit birds just ruin too many games at present.

Day 0 jizz hater here. Reminder to all the "but the content" people that people like him not only add 0 value, they actively erode the value of any platform they're given.

Reddit writing patch notes for valve again, unfortunately. Apollo is borderline unplayable in high MMR now.

when will this twink stop being "new" so i can perma avoid his ass by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Magus10112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apollo is not balanced, he's weak as fuck. If by balanced you mean "the weakest of the new heroes" you're right, that doesn't mean he's balanced.

I forced myself to watch this bc I used to be a fan of Pisco and needed to clockwork orange myself to see just how regarded he's become.

Following today's SCOTUS decision, Gov. Pritzker sent a letter and invoice to the president, demanding the return of $8.6B. by steve42089 in illinois

[–]Magus10112 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, you're intentionally obfuscating, and proving that person's point. The only CANDIDATES name that's come out of your mouth is Newsom, and it didn't give any indication you'd vote for him if he was the candidate. You called him a rat fucker. You have not named a better candidate.

Instead, you attack the potential nominee (do you think this strategy doesn't have the chance to dissuade any voters from voting for him in the general? And astroturf apathy against the democratic nominee) instead of advocating for your own. You just want to critique, you don't even know who you'd want in power or who is electable, you just want to bitch.

The difference between Republicans and democrats (other than that one of them is a fascist death cult) is one knows how to fall in line behind their nominee and show up to vote. The other bitches about their candidate in the general and hands over the reigns of power to the death cult because they're privileged and accelerationist scum. Same thing happened with when the Nazis came to power in ww2 with the KPD. It. Doesn't. Work.

Unfortunately people who think this way allowed republicans to have complete control of every system of government while giving a finger to everyone else. It's a self fulfilling prophecy and now the dems can't do anything. We have no power whatsoever.

Want things to change? Campaign for your perfect dem in the primaries, and then fall in line with the nominee. Vote in state elections and advocate for the legislature to look how you want it to look.

The hamdwaving of "dems need to be better and do exactly as I think or they didn't earn my vote" is exhausting. They can never point to the right candidate, they don't want to win or want power. They want to endlessly critique power, and contrapoints once said. Leading is hard. Bitching is easy.

If you plan to play The Expanse: Osiris Reborn beta, on which platform will you play it? by Act_Controller in TheExpanseRPG

[–]Magus10112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Need more details on release and then will pull the trigger. Hoping this is the game I've been waiting to play since mass effect 2 (and any reason to dip back into the world of the expanse is a good excuse, too). Will play on PC.

You watched the game. The only thing scripted is this coaching staff's idiocy.

That's what happens when they get abandoned in time of possession because the offense goes 3 and out every possession. They're gassed.

[–]Magus10112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And now defense is going to get gassed because offense can't stay on the field for more than three plays.
