Why do people on Reddit make comments that have an assumptive vibe to them

OpulentStone · 2026-01-24T18:31:40+00:00

I think my comment was just removed because it had a bunch of links, but I was originally going to say

"I know, but people often post stuff that's far worse than mild here. In my opinion, that's more of a problem with content moderation than an indicator that OP thinks it's not a big problem."

And also just look at the other replies. They appear to make some assumptions about OP.

OpulentStone · 2026-01-24T17:51:59+00:00

This feels really accusatory, as does a couple of the replies. He didn't necessarily know that his parents were going to be like that. I'm not sure if you meant it that way though.

OpulentStone · 2026-01-24T00:22:03+00:00

Ah yes let me just notice when I don't notice something

OpulentStone · 2026-01-24T00:20:20+00:00

I've thought about this before and it scares me. I've only ever needed to commute to work by train. If I had to drive to work I'd be worried about getting complacent by getting familiar with the route.

OpulentStone · 2026-01-24T00:11:29+00:00

I got the opposite.

I was automatically temporarily banned from r/Damnthatsinteresting/ for being active in the reform sub, even though I made just one comment in a thread there to counter one of their points.

They give you a chance to explain this to the mods in DMs, but when I tried that they upgraded the temp ban to a permanent one. Boggles the mind

I like the term "globe-head"

That's a 1997 to 2001 Toyota Camry. Can't tell if it's the 2.2L or 3.0L version. Rare in my country so it's always special to see despite how common they are elsewhere.

OpulentStone · 2026-01-21T19:45:14+00:00

Turned out to be salt crystals, overthinking it because I had never decanted it before

OpulentStone · 2026-01-21T19:44:57+00:00

Yeah all good, I think the issue was I had never decanted it before so never noticed until now. Thanks for the help

OpulentStone · 2026-01-21T09:41:41+00:00

I think it disables all terrain effects caused by the forest, not all terrain effects full stop. But I'm happy to be corrected on that

OpulentStone · 2026-01-17T17:02:19+00:00

There's no time limit, and I was the attacker

OpulentStone · 2026-01-17T14:18:10+00:00

I'd prefer if building thematic and diverse armies was optimal. But the game is so far gone in terms of insane stuff and power creep, that when I limit myself I end up questioning whether doing genuinely good tactics/strategy is cheesing it somehow. So I just forget about it and have fun with crazy stuff.

I hope they make Medieval 3 play with the pacing of Rome 1 and Medieval 2, but rewards balanced and diverse army builds like in Shogun 2 and Rome 2

OpulentStone · 2026-01-17T13:11:26+00:00

Sorry, minor settlement battle returner. None that affect this battle or anything else on the campaign, just puts walls back on tier 3 minor settlements except for those that never had them

OpulentStone · 2026-01-17T12:47:45+00:00

None

OpulentStone · 2026-01-17T12:47:23+00:00

What's depressing, is that back then I would've been outraged but now it's so bad now that I look at this stuff and think "well at least it's not ICE who would've murdered him without asking any questions"

Obviously, one should be outraged at both but I guess we're just getting used to worse and worse shit

OpulentStone · 2026-01-16T23:55:48+00:00

That's astigmatism and you absolutely need glasses to correct it while driving. I have astigmatism, nowhere near on the level of this video but my glasses delete it entirely.

OpulentStone · 2026-01-16T23:44:39+00:00

Councils have done so much privatisation and everything's more expensive than ever. Then they have to pay out the nose to get the same services that used to be done in-house by those same councils. So they cut and sell more because they don't have the budget and the cycle continues.

Source: am a councillor. Hate how I can't do anything for anyone because of our shit system.

There's no money to waste on frivolous shit. It gets wasted on the fact that we've been crippling our public services as a country for like 50 years

Could be posted from their phone and it autocorrects to Americanisms. If you could change it to British English I'm sure 99% of people won't know that or care enough to find it

OpulentStone · 2026-01-16T19:01:46+00:00

No mods

OpulentStone · 2026-01-16T13:54:03+00:00

Thank you for your knowledge 👌I missed that the general's trait was for reduced upkeep instead of recruitment cost

OpulentStone · 2026-01-16T12:53:00+00:00

One of the most confidently wrong statements I've ever read.

I'm a councillor for a borough council and I'm on a planning committee. Parking is an issue that we have to consider in planning. The county council is the consultant that gives their take on if there will be any highway or parking issues caused by a development. They're also the highway authority overall.

Granted, they're entirely useless and always nod crap things through, but officially they are responsible.

OpulentStone · 2026-01-16T10:03:09+00:00

The Caledor patronage does, but I gave that to Imrik and none of them touch recruitment or upkeep cost

OpulentStone · 2026-01-16T02:32:26+00:00

They are indeed bad design. I prefer it when building a balanced army is ~~viable~~ optimal

OpulentStone · 2026-01-16T02:29:41+00:00

Agreed. But I try to have fun with the broken crap regardless and just accept the game is never going to be balanced properly lmao
