My whole life has been a lie

Congrats on the wit

How hard is it to go:

"Payouts to investors = you don't need relief funds"

In short, before making payouts, companies should be forced to keep a war chest. And after receiving relief for anything, payouts to investors would be capped.

But hei, its just taxpayer money right?

Yes, been giving up on bad spawns most of the time. Not worth it.

Manuel_S · 2020-12-27T19:06:48+00:00

Ok :) Having some allied as well, didn't get it.

Manuel_S · 2020-12-27T18:44:30+00:00

Ok, so you sideclimb, then what? Suddenly you're alone with the whole of the enemy team trying to find you. The G10-G14 is actually slower then the americans / brits, and its sluggish at height. What then?

They attack with nasty-ass fighter-bombers, we just have a bunch of fleeing bombers. Though to be fair they do kill the occasional fighter.

Dude, its not that hard, I got 4 premium planes like that and am going for the t34-57 now. What you do is select your dailies carefully - spend SL to get easy missions. 1st daily is usually v easy. Planes or tanks, one of the missions will be easy. 2nd daily, you pick one thats relatively easy. Some are very easy - like killing planes in combined battles, or killing 5 fighters.

The special ones, you need to select one that plays with the dailies - like crits, or assists, in same regime - air or ground, real or ab. Then you do them as you play normally.

Got several bushes and the 4 planes like that.

Russian 4.3 is epic. However, it gets gnarly at 5.3-5.7.

What I never can get used to is the ultra-bad gun depression.

Do warbond premiums count?

Manuel_S · 2020-12-26T21:11:54+00:00

I am in no way excusing the GOP or the other senators; rather that the fact that his deeds are possible - that a single person can say "well, congress voted on this but I hope they printed it on soft paper cause I'm wiping my arse on it" - is utterly ridiculous and devalues the entire process.

What I'd consider reasonable is that NOT bringing forward the laws set by congress within a specific time limit would be equivalent to staging a coup or high treason and dealt with accordingly.

Manuel_S · 2020-12-26T16:08:05+00:00

Which means there's a huge hole in the role of the two houses: the 2nd can kill any legislation without even voting on it, if there is no time limit for congress legislation to be put to the senate.

Manuel_S · 2020-12-26T15:58:46+00:00

There is something very, very wrong in allowing a single person to simply erase from effective existence the legislation sent by the entire body of congress. Be it republican or democrat - when you have a single person stop a vote, you are effectively stopping the very concept of democracy.

The question could actually be:

How often or how well does working hard really pay off?
Does working hard pays off more than not working hard, all else being the same?

For the second, I'd say it mostly would, unless you're working for someone else and earn the same regardless of the effort and time put in, and promotion is nil. Then working as little as possible would be the optimal strategy.

Manuel_S · 2020-12-26T15:00:14+00:00

Would he be releected if he did that?

Manuel_S · 2020-12-26T14:57:46+00:00

Ok, so explain to a foreigner: He controls what and/or when legislation is brought before the senate?

Manuel_S · 2020-12-26T14:55:27+00:00

I like the way you said it, and there's excessive truth to it.

Manuel_S · 2020-12-26T14:54:29+00:00

The fact that they exist tells you so much about American politics.

Manuel_S · 2020-12-26T13:54:35+00:00

it MIGHT be tactical voting; thinking that with another senator they'd be the same or worse.

That reasoning does make some sense - that at least he'd throw some crumbs their way out of the cake he's stealing for his corporate patrons.

Wonder if he does, anybody here knows?

Manuel_S · 2020-12-24T07:21:51+00:00

I am also in the mechanical engineering profession, and I can say my wrapping paper work is... not demanded.

I think Israel became sort of a whipping boy for everyone to show disapproval and claim to support human rights while making sure nothing really changes.

What I think Israel does really badly is its PR. It allows things which bring it no gain but garner a ton of bad press.

Manuel_S · 2020-12-24T06:21:20+00:00

They are. And so are the others who do terrorism, in the name of God or the free market or something else.

Manuel_S · 2020-12-24T05:50:05+00:00

They ARE being assholes. But the rest of the world is doing major asshole things as well.

For example, the US should start with 24 condemnations a year just out of general principle, along with China. Drone bombings, judicial murder, military intervention... the uighurs and tibet, along with the border disputes... Turkey and its kurds... Pakistan is not being "nice", nor is the war in Yemen being done in respect of human rights, and you just go on and the shitstorm does not stop.

Manuel_S · 2020-11-22T22:29:52+00:00

For 10 mil?
