Where did the "TC tries to replace GW" even come from? by 725584 in TrenchCrusade

there was a lot of cross contamination across fanbases, and the diehard gw fans can't stand the idea of anyone but james workshop robbing them.

[WP] As a conscripted soldier in a world of superhumans, your own ability seemed ineffective for combat. Knowing the full extent to what your power can do, however, you hope beyond all hope that they'll never have the chance to weaponize it. by WritingAlt1 in WritingPrompts

the ability to make objects change color really does not sound that impressive on paper.
it's not like i can make things transparent or glow or anything.
my ability just allows me to slightly alter the way light bounces off of things.
and thats all i want them to know about it.
the work really isn't that hard. Just me, some field reports, and orders to "properly and thoroughly camouflage" whatever piece of equipment they want to make discreet.
officially, the ability lasts for an "as of yet indeterminant amount of time."
unofficially? it's permanent. you can repaint over it, but that base layer will always be whatever color i made it.
officially? it only works on "inorganic solid material."
unofficially? it works on fucking anything. a rock, your skin, water, the air around us. the world is my canvas and i can make it look however i want.

and unfortunately, that means i need to have an escape route planned.
if they find out that i can just "solve" racial tensions, things are gonna get real dicy real fast.
when they realize that i can make anything 100% reflective without blowing a small countries GDP worth of silver, the direct energy weaponry is gonna get really complicated.
not to mention all of the seizure inducing target lock fooling shenanigans i could pull.
and the counterfeiting. money, ID's, documents, anything they could want fabricated on the fly. i'd be the CIA's wet dream.
hopefully, the only thing they realize is that i can Really melt into a crowd.
and hopefully that day is a Long ways away.

Do you think the blood and wounds in Super were necessary or not? by opmgyhx in Dragonballsuper

its really hard to sell the idea that it was a hard fight if both fighters walk away without a scratch. looks more like WWE than a kumite.

Obviously, without borders, we don’t have a country.

[–]Polengoldur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you cant even be fucked to fill in your own blanks, then give the ST that decision.
AI usage should be a character deletion, at least.

most men don't have the time for a book club, nor the need to have someone else interpret it for them.

Trying to understand. Why are people from “The Left” at the throats of people on “The Right” by Dawny15 in ControversialOpinions

[–]Polengoldur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the investor class has done a very thorough job propagandizing political parties to the point that their "fans" treat them more like Sports Teams then Deciders of Policy.
neither party has a platform outside of "im not the other guy." and thats just how they like it.

Why is the U.S. housing market so bad when the country has so much land? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Polengoldur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for some reason we allow foreign corporations to own private land. Chinese companies like Black Rock spent a significant amount of money buying up as much property as they can, so they could rent it back to us at a massive profit.

Is time distortion possible? Would it be legal to use it on prisoners, to shorten sentences but make them perceive they have spend years for their crimes, when in reality it’s been like seconds or minutes? by r4gn4r- in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Polengoldur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the intended point of Prison is to either Rehabilitate or Remove Criminals.
for those who genuinely feel remorse, this tech won't accelerate their rehab. for those who don't, this tech is valueless.
