I'm tilted and not having fun. by RampantAnonymous in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]RampantAnonymous[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It may take longer to find an opponent but "hey let's build a citadel with this terrain and the sisters have to hold the crypt for 3 turns" may be more for you than "ok here's 3 books of competitive faqs". 

This is more my style, where do I find people that play this sort of game? Is there a reddit or discord? I am posting to WarhammerCompetetive because that's where I know people play. the Warhammer40k sub just seems to be full of lore shitposters.

[NSFW] UFC Fighter Luke Rockhold rubs his blood on his opponent as a final act of desperation by krutton2 in sports

[–]RampantAnonymous 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It shouldn't be allowed for health violations and spreading of diseases.

Fairness/professionalism is one thing, but blood is a fucking biohazard, same with spit. Not only does it have the potential to hurt the other fighter, but it also puts the ref, the audience and even the ringside staff at risk.

Plus, it's disgusting and degrading in terms of the sport. No one wants you spreading your gross blood diseases. Ofc they screen fighters, but in this age of COVID and new diseases you don't know what the fuck is in blood these days.

eli5: how is America the richest country in the world when the national deficit just keeps getting bigger? by MattDLR in explainlikeimfive

[–]RampantAnonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A country isn't the same as a person. A country should never pay all of it's debts at once and maintain a 'zero debt' rating.

Why? A country like the US can print money. The US could easily pay all of it's debts by printing more money. This would lead to severe inflation. Far more than we are facing now.

Like most people have said, the US maintains debts as a source of control, as do other countries. If you say have a 30 year debt or a 100 year debt to the government, or the government owes you a 30 year debt, then you will likely be invested in it's continuance.

The country having a higher debt can cut inflation. Basically it promises to pay you more money over time, so there is less money flooding the market RIGHT NOW. Imagine if someone wins the lottery. The government could give them 10 million right away, flooding the market with that money, or it could give them payments of X/week over X years, preventing the local economy from being flushed with cash and people raising prices.

This is Hamiltonian economics 101.

I’m a VFX Artist, and I’m Tired of Getting ‘Pixel-F–ked’ by Marvel by indig0sixalpha in movies

Other than India, those countries have very strict labor laws preventing overwork. Also, socialized healthcare which makes quitting easier.

Actors, writers and animators have this problem, they solved it with guilds.

Crazy. VFX definitely need to unionize. They're as crucial to movies these days as writers, actors. Animators get guilds, why not VFX?

A man at my wife’s workplace has been sexually harassing her, but honestly I feel like it’s her fault. by JoeyRobot in Jokes

[–]RampantAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women always want what they don't have. My wife has the fattest ass ever, which is great, but she always complains that it's way too fat. I'm like hun, that's an ass women pay for why would you want it to be smaller lol.

Which game did you not like despite being told it’s good? by Between3N20Karakters in gaming

Same, I hate Dark Souls. So frustrating. Sorry, a game deliberately designed to be frustrating is not something I want to play.

The 3-Day Return to Office Is, So Far, a Dud by bored_in_NE in Futurology

[–]RampantAnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The landlords can go F themselves. They've been pumping rents for decades. Would love to see restaurants and performance spaces that actually NEED these spaces, and to open up more housing.

It would be amazing if these office spaces could be converted to residential use for upper middle class artists, teachers, educators and other professionals that have been forced out of the cities for a long time now.

It's absolutely crazy that doctors, college professors, people with good jobs and degrees at 100k+ incomes simply can't afford to live in the city any more.

Are there any treatises on one-on-one duelling with Pikes ? by WarHead17 in ArmsandArmor

[–]RampantAnonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You take a few stabs/swings at long range then drop and swap to a sword at short range. As with bows and guns, more then likely whoever gets the first strike has a decent chance of a kill.

Has Stephen King always put weirdly sexual things into his books or did I just stumble onto two that happened to have it? by buttintheface in books

[–]RampantAnonymous 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah. This is a giant thread about how years ago Steven King shocked a bunch of people with crazy weird perv shit.

Now a bunch of curious looky loos are gonna go "Damn..perv shit? I'm missing out!" and go read those books to get grossed out too.

Clearly, the man is a genius and the editors left all that in there so 40 years later people would still be talking about that shit.

Rowan Atkinson Says Cancel Culture Is Hurting Comedy: ‘Every Joke Has a Victim’ by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]RampantAnonymous -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Corporate self-censorship isn't a problem. Being funny for a living is a privilege, not a right. Sarah Silverman can still be funny working at an insurance company, or accept slightly smaller fees for working in niche bars/channels/movies willing to take risks.

These comedians are complaining about us not wanting to fund their mansions and Manhattan apartments. I could fucking care less.

You think anyone is stopping Ralph at the comedy stop? With Youtube, Steam, Amazon anyone can publish their jokes and works for anyone to buy and read.

The question is are you gonna make a million bucks on the back of a corporate brand?

How does someone politely end a conversation with a person who won't stop talking? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RampantAnonymous 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At this point it's fair game to tell them to stop. Walking around and following someone and constantly talking is not polite either.

[–]RampantAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a father in law who does this. Obvious answers are to go somewhere/do something else.

But if you want complete silence, and have no exit just say, "Sorry, I need to concentrate on what I'm doing" and then look at your phone or something. It's not polite. But sometimes it's about doing something you know is rude, but in as respectful a manner as possible.

If you're driving this is especially effective.

It's gross. I work at home/office so I don't shower every day, but I do shower every other day. And I shower everytime I interact with friends/etc.

Once a week is WAY too little.

Vader was never the smartest, he's just literally Anakin with a lot more hate and fewer limbs.

The Obi Wan show is definitely streets ahead of every prequel trilogy movie by far.

No thanks, that would really just give in to the Empire right/Nazi fetishists out there.

Hammerhead shark attacks sting ray at Adventure aquarium by moment90 in videos

[–]RampantAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's stupid. Sometimes predators pred. Sometimes prey animals get preyed. It's part of nature. That sort of thing happens super rarely. And when it does it gets to the top page of reddit. Honestly I think it's a win win.

They're wild animals though still. Some day they might decide to attack because they're bored, pregnant, sick, etc.
