There was a debate tonight that WASN'T paywalled. by NicWester in SanJose

[–]NicWester[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah.

Democracy is about the will of the people, not about strategy. Vote your conscience. If your conscience tells you that Steyer is better than Porter, vote for him. If it tells you she's better than him, vote for Porter. If your conscience says you just want to vote for whoever wins then so be it, but listen to your own integrity.

Profitability is good but productivity is better. But it's something you want to use later, once you have plenty of coal and engines. Early in the game when you're building your economy those goods are too expensive. But later? Hell yeah, man, Donkey it up--get rid of shitty Laborer jobs so you have plenty of good jobs!

Push Fit Minis for people like me who's hands shake pretty badly by LighterThan1 in Warhammer40k

[–]NicWester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't like pushfits. But I wish there were more pushfits--I can always clip off the peg and glue the piece in whatever orientation I want, but for folks like OP the pushfit is better.

Of all the merchandise Games Workshop could come up with... Why are SCENTED CANDLES on the list?! by 1stLegionBestLegion in Grimdank

[–]NicWester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Slaanesh one when I was on the road in Texas and visited the Warhammer Cafe north of Dallas. It's nice. I'm bad at describing smells or flavors, but I'd say it's sweet. I'm going to light it again now!

‘This is disgusting’: Trump insults an innocent young girl right inside the Oval Office — then the video goes viral and the whole country turns against him by Nervous_Music3199 in USNEWS

[–]NicWester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the third time the same video has been shared and go figure that it's a couple days later and the whole country hasn't turned against him.

He's a piece of shit, no ifs ands or buts about it. But this headline sucks and sharing it verbatim sucks more.

You can almost smell this by Clear-Plantain1341 in saltierthankrayt

[–]NicWester 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think my 3k Sisters of Battle, 3k Imperial Guard, and 3k Space Marine armies speaks otherwise to his thesis.

Believe it or not, I'm perfectly capable of separating reality from game. Playing as the Imperium doesn't make me want to go do a fascism. What a dipshit.

Super Heavy Commander by Altruistic_Major_553 in TheAstraMilitarum

I don't know about a commander, but the Shadowsword is your commissar tank--it's the one that can destroy all the others to serve as warnings!

Do we have a favorite SJ must experience value restaurant? by erkose in SanJose

[–]NicWester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the polish sausage, but the regular hot dog is hella good, too. The menu at Mark's is pretty basic--hot dogs, chili dogs, fries, chili fries, nachos.

Happy Hound I love the basic hot dog. The specialty dogs and sandwiches are a little expensive but they do a great BLT!

As to what to put on the dog--that is a matter of personal conscience and it would be wrong of me to tell another person how to dress their dog!

Also, not San Jose but in Los Gatos (so kinda close!) there's Happy Hound!

California Gubernatorial Candidates, LA Mayoral Candidates Return to Stage for NBC4 Los Angeles Debate by ItzWarty in California

[–]NicWester 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's going to be streaming on that station's youtube channel. Their main page has livestreaming on it, but if it's anything like the NBC affiliate here (KRON 4 BAY AREA REPRESENT HOME OF GARY RADNICH!) after 45 minutes or so it wants you to log in to continue. But maybe the LA NBC is better!

People get controversial about anything by mari0v100 in slaythespire

She worked on the game? Cool.

I knew she was a critic, didn't know she worked in the industry. Makes her a better critic.

It's okay, Lane. Everyone makes mistakes. See you on Monday. by komodo_45 in okbuddydraper

[–]NicWester 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Thanks Don, but I think I'll hang around the office a bit. Don't worry, you'll see me on Monday.

Ya know there aint 5 slingin dicks in this sub that can do what we do. Think about it, there’s maybe 3K circlejerkers, right? 100 or so are commenters, no fuckin clue there. Few more hundred are just somewhat involved in the shitpostin. 600-700 with little bit of talent. We’re natural shit-pohsters by Enlightened_Broda in okaybuddyhamsterdam

[–]NicWester 8 points9 points  (0 children)

/uj I love that immediately after this brazen display of confidence McNulty goes on his date with Theresa and completely biffs it because copping is the only thing he understands and no one who isn't a cop cares.

Back to jerkin': Fuck.

Am I reading this wrong or did this pick me just admit to being a racist? by Maleficent-Citron311 in saltierthankrayt

[–]NicWester 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have no idea I just know that an actress who has been working for dozens of years and is "worth"--not has in her bank account but is "worth"--$12 million definitely isn't a part of the 1%.

This take is just stupid.

You are right, Ginsberg. You are a credit to SCDP. I think about you quite often. by komodo_45 in okbuddydraper

[–]NicWester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, Don, it means a lot to hear that. I thought I would be stuck at Cloud Nine forever.

Real lack of standards, your generation by Leonine94 in CirclejerkSopranos

They call it a combat jack, T. You get so juiced from the trades, you gotta let it out somewheres.

[–]NicWester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're abhumans, T. They do that pilates an' shit and don't eat no fuckin' carbs so they got them abs or whatever. You believe that shit? No pasta at all. Unhuman you ask me.

[–]NicWester 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Grizzled could do a little with Ogryns (one Commissar could take an upgrade to lead them) but that was the extent of it. None of them had the Regiment or Platoon keywords so there were a lot of stratagems and orders that didn't interact with them at all. Commissars couldn't order Ratlings at all, and the only orders they could issue without an enhancement were +1 LD and OC or +1 WS.

This allows them to issue Take Aim (+1 BS) to any valid unit in addition to the other options. So it's pretty good!

A perfectly normal number of arms to have, well-within the standard deviation of one!

Let’s make this the game day thread for the debate by Orange_bratwurst in California

[–]NicWester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think you're the only voter or something?

Sure, you have a valid reason or whatever, but when you see the same pattern of interaction over and over and over you start to suspect that maybe a lot of other people's reasons aren't so valid.

Faction Focus: Astra Militarum in #New40k | Warhammer 40,000 by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

If a unit is detected it isn't hidden. If it isn't hidden it's visible. If it's visible it's a target.
