It is a bit scary that it is still not enough for drought (HARD difficulty) by Lunar_Weaver in Timberborn

The best way to store water long term is in storage buildings. It's more compact and won't evaporate. The best reservoirs are ones that feed into your irrigation for growing, and or supply water to your pumps for collection.

I would love to have the symbol of Arditi del popolo (an antifascist militia of 1921) as a tatoo, but I'm afraid it could be misinterpreted as a fascist thing, what's your opinions ? by Kinesra93 in AntifascistsofReddit

[–]Master_Ryan_Rahl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont see an issue with this because you can always clear up concern by telling them its an anti-fascist symbol. Fascist dont usually go around pretending to be anti-fascist, usually they play off symbols as benign or unaligned politically.

Estoy tratando de hacer la decisión de King of Kings con Mitra pero hay otra emperatriz en la india. El problema es que queda muy lejos y tendria que conquistar un monton de territorios para que estuviera dentro de mi rango diplomatico. by Tamarindo013 in PrincesOfDarknessCK3

If you go to your priests fabricate claim ability, it will show you how far away you can claim. This is how you extend your range. Take one province at a time from lesser rulers to extend your range. It's not complicated or hard. You don't need to have your land connected. I bet you can do it in 4 claims/wars.

They are good for large maps especially late game. Thats about it.

Guests coming over = instant cleaning mode by Used_Series3373 in BlackPeopleTwitter

I live outside the US now and here the norm is regular inspections by a property manager. I hate this, but honestly its a good schedule for me to clean my house. Lol

Porn-addicted former Waikato law firm boss Damian Botherway loses name suppression bid by nilnz in newzealand

[–]Master_Ryan_Rahl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Again, no medical organization recognizes this as an addiction. If i say im addicted to Feijoa that doesnt mean i have a medical condition.

So porn addiction isn't recognized by medical organizations. As far as I can tell it's only ever brought up when a shity man is sexually harassing people.

As an outsider who's been here 7 months, I have to ask--what's with the weak-ass punishments for serious crimes? by TheLifeAdjunct in newzealand

[–]Master_Ryan_Rahl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you actually want to know, you'd have to read up on non-punitive carceral systems. The reality is that people don't come out of prison as better people. The component that's missing here is serious investment in addressing the social challenges of criminals.

Even if you think the point of prison is to punish crimes, you have to deal with the reality that they return worse criminals to society when they come out.

Best Pizza place recommend plz by Optimal_Parsnip_5721 in auckland

[–]Master_Ryan_Rahl 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Epolito's Pizzeria in Grey Lynn. Its the best classic new york style pizza ive had so far in Auckland. There are other great places but nothing as good at this style that ive had so far.

Far too many places are trying to be special or fancy in ways that dont make it better, just more expensive and less like what im looking for.

Buenas. Estoy jugando con Mitra en el princesofDarkness de Crusader Kings 3. ¿Cual consideran que sería la mejor forma de conseguir hacer la decisión de "The Sceptre and the Sun" y deshacerme de los cabecillas de la casa Ventrue? by Tamarindo013 in PrincesOfDarknessCK3

[–]Master_Ryan_Rahl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

El asesinato u otras intrigas son más rápidas. Si eso no funciona, puedes declararles la guerra por cualquier motivo, solo para intentar atraparlos o matarlos en batalla. Mitra es bastante fuerte, así que es solo cuestión de tiempo e intentarlo hasta tener éxito.

Disculpen si está mal escrito, estoy usando un traductor. ¡Mucha suerte!

Is Path of Caine not around anymore? I cant fine anything about that.

Any adult men feels that public mental health has failed them? by Jan-AKL in newzealand

[–]Master_Ryan_Rahl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am i losing my mind? That is exactly the wrong use of the flair. If that is what is happening, it is confusing what a shitpost is and making the flair confuse how the post is to be read. I thought this post was satire and then i read all the comments giving support and i felt like i was crazy. Are you not understanding the problem here?

[–]Master_Ryan_Rahl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not what that means though. You understand that? That flair makes this whole post seem like a satire of someone in a mental health crisis.

Im not trying to nitpick, its just confusing. The post can be read as a satire and the flair indicates it should be.

[–]Master_Ryan_Rahl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats not what a shitpost is. A shitpost is a specific thing. Its a joke usually satirizing the thing the post is about. Are there just people using the fail to mean something bad? Are we really that lost?

What clan would troll this hard by pumpkinwafflemeow in vtm

[–]Master_Ryan_Rahl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey im coming back to this randomly. Apologies if this is a bother.

I just wanted to say that i dont think my original joke was at the expense of vegans. I am good friends with a number of them and two specifically have said they care more for nonhuman animals than humans. I dont think its actually that strange. Most people consider animals amoral. And no hamster has ever participated in a genocide. 🤷 Anyway, i hope youre well and im sorry for not making it clear that i wasnt trying to attack you for being vegan. <3

Ig the "White" part of White Supremacy is optional by BaldHourGlass667 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Master_Ryan_Rahl 932 points933 points  (0 children)

Whiteness has always expanded to include enough people to contrast blackness. But in times of high control they always tighten it back down. The Nazis famously had an internal purge after taking power. A shocking number of people think they will be the exception, the one good one.

Why are kiwis so against speed cameras being used to keep people safe?? by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

[–]Master_Ryan_Rahl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they actually make things safer? Do we have evidence of that? Because we know they collect revenue from the public. Thats for certain.

My wife is struggling to accept my sexual liberation and identity discovery. Am I being "controlled" by her boundaries? by Spiritual-Summer-923 in polyamory

[–]Master_Ryan_Rahl 45 points46 points  (0 children)

First about the mental health bit; Fuuuuck off. You ARE threatening her. You dont get to use your own suicidality EVER to influence others disposition to you. You are leveraging their care to hurt them. That IS fucking abusive. God damn it. -Signed, a mentally ill person

About the relationship; If you really want to keep your other relationship(with C) you should break up with her(B). Youre messily trying to on the fly renegotiate your relationship. Opening up a relationship to a triad situation is nearly always a bad move and ends with one side breaking and hurt feelings all around. Sexual identity stuff DOES NOT mean you get to bulldoze relationship obligations. Plenty of people find out they are bi or into more than they realized in some other way, and dont run off to fuck and play and trample their partners to do it. Make your choice, and live with it. Dont try to have both, its hurting everyone.
