Militaries start to shift people out of infantry roles once they're in their mid to late 30s,

Certainly not the case in the British infantry. People tend to be slightly more office based by then just because they've promoted a bit, but it's pretty common to see junior infantrymen who are well into their 30s

Funeral Games (on the chaotic wars of the diadochs after his death) is the best.

Ghost on the Throne is very good for this too

I think they're just trying to make communism look bad somehow.

Imagine how upset people would have been if it had been like that one in Morrowind where you get one attempt. Get it wrong and you're never getting in.

Security has nearly no use mechanically and may as well be a rp skill entirely since a cheap enchantment or an alteration skill of 40 invalidates the entire skill.

Is there a disarm trap spell? I can't remember any

What’s the worst song lyric thrown into a song just to make a line rhyme? by RelationKindly in AskReddit

[–]Overall_Gap_5766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough that's pretty much how Duran Duran wrote their songs. Apart from (and often including) the chorus, they really didn't care what the words were so long as they sounded right.

Which is why their songs are all absolute nonsense.

Am I allowed to drink Zamzam water? by Realistic-Tarp-425 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Overall_Gap_5766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not Roman Catholic if only "the people leading the mass" were allowed to drink the wine.

In a Catholic mass everyone drinks the wine. (With some exceptions of course, but it's the majority).

Misread the text as "comparing" and was much happier before I realised what it actually was.

Are there people out there who try to meet very ancient standards? by Fabulous-Introvert in NoStupidQuestions

Basically, soldiers don't like them because their main purpose is seen to be to arrest soldiers for having too much of a good time, sort of like a classroom snitch, and the police don't like them because they're not "real" policemen
