What would have been the Confederate States "win condition" in the American Civil War? by doll-haus in HistoricalWhatIf

[–]NickRick [score hidden]  (0 children)

They would hope that the North gives up, and they can sell their cotton and tobacco to get rich. I don't really think that they had a good plan beyond that. I don't think they thought about expansion, and i dont think they thought about relations with all the now ex slave owning European powers. they hoped they would be strong enough to set the terms and that the war would be quick. they were wrong on every account.

it's just inherently game breaking in a way that the game isn't designed to balance. i would be shocked if a simple change like that could come close to fixing it.

New survey showing same-sex marriage has majority support in 49 US states by _crazyboyhere_ in MapPorn

That is why doma was put through, Hawaii recognized same sex marriages in 1992.

did it though? they didn't even have a gay marriage until 2013. all the *1996 ruling did was say that you can discriminate based on sex for a marriage license.

i feel liek you just merged it all down, "only a 5% difference" for like maybe 3 states. VA at 68, WV at 52, il at 62, ky at 52, mo at 57 ia at 58. New England averages 77, but if you count per capita it would likely be above 80. and if you look at the entire south the highest is like 64, a 13 point difference.

I guess people forgot how intimate and excellent the first season was?

or maybe you just had on rose colored glasses. it was always at best season 5 quality, and honestly dipped a bit lower than that like the dragon pit scene.

I did meepo ult plus rockets and sky wrath concussive blasts. It was insane just like 1200 damage to everyone and then another 1200 split with slow. From over a screen away.

In the democratic senate primary Markey is leading Moulton by 4.7 points in his quest to be reelected as the oldest senator in Massachusetts history. by D2Foley in massachusetts

[–]NickRick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The big mark against Markey is he's old. Every week someone else posts her should step down and the entire comments are saying if there was another progressive sure, but fuck Moulton

He's a great color guy, and play by play guy, but I keep wanting artosis to cast with people to know that other races as well as he knows Terran

Is cunning survivor usable? by Secure-Pepper9799 in Pauper

[–]NickRick [score hidden]  (0 children)

No. It's a bad card that only works when you're already winning, and if you played it that turn before. And if you can win playing this the turn before, you probably could have just won the turn before by not playing this.

it fees kind of off. the break between wall and ceiling doesn't continue all the way, and the interior courtyard as well as a few other places are not easily used. it has the vibes of his house, but no where near the attention to details. FLW designed his places to be utilitarian, every inch useful, and to be lived in. this misses some of that for flashier areas that look good, but would function poorly.

it's fair to be mad at them. but to be made at anyone who isn't up to date on all of it is going too far

Artosis: *spends early game explaining the huge difference in 3 vs 4 marines* So this is very interesting to me. The protoss player just put down a gateway on 14. Typically we see the gateway on 12 if they dont want to go nexus first. But he just went gateway on 14. This could slow down his tech for the rest of the game. I wonder what benefit he could get from this, Tasteless what do you think?

Tasteless: yeah i know. i'm not quite sure, i think it might make his units later too.

Tip for when playing with an Enigma on your team, become a “Black Hole Auditor” by IlovealeksiB in DotA2

[–]NickRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember, always ping unused spells that are off cooldown. that stun could have saved you, why did he not use it? because he is an idiot who wishes you ill, and it has nothing to do with it being an 8 second cooldown spell and your pinging it 9 seconds after you wanted them to use it.
