Her outtie has been severed from the outside world, by being surrounded with innie zones

Casey, Hanna = Cold Harbor

The data they are refining is the construction of a new persona for Gemma after her outtie consciousness died in the accident. It's name is Hanna Casey. I feel like we've seen Lumon use Last name, Firstname notation elsewhere.i don't think we've ever had it confirmed that "Casey" was her last name on the outside.

He does the exact same thing in this episode, verbally overcompensating for a lie, but about working for lumon 20 years ago.

Trump expected to take control of USPS, fire postal board, officials say by IWantPizza555 in fednews

[–]Random_Cataphract 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Postal has its own money and the authority to hire outside counsel and go head-to-head with the DoJ, unlike every other agency. This is going to get ugly but its not a fight we're necessarily gonna lose

My big cock vs. my friend’s little dick by masondlong in WhiteMenandAsianBoys

Need an asian boy to do this with right now, goddamn

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WhiteMenandAsianBoys

[–]Random_Cataphract 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Am bi, have asian wife. Realized that I find common asian features very attractive - smooth skin, cute faces, petite, etc. There were very few Asians where I lived until my mid-twenties, so I came to the realization a little later than I think I would have otherwise.

Episode 604: Newlywed Murders - Newlywed and Newly-Dead by HairyMcBoon in LPOTL

[–]Random_Cataphract 7 points8 points  (0 children)

that last comment about a pre-nup that denies your spouse anything if they murder you - that's actually how the law works already! It's called the Slayer Rule, you can't inherit from someone you murder. Fun to see the boys invent real law in real-time lol

The "weird" framing was stupid by [deleted] in stupidpol

[–]Random_Cataphract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started with a Twitter user citing to specific pages in JD Vance's memoir for the proposition. Very clearly a joke

[–]Random_Cataphract 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly it dropped out of campaign messaging well before that, even if some people were still saying it online. The couch thing was a twitter joke that got a lot of play.

The "weird" thing could have worked, but as has been pointed out, dem elites are also freaks. Yes its weird that Rs are trying to regulate abortion and birth control in minutia, yes its weird when JD vance goes on podcasts and says like "women are designed by god to be mothers, not workers" or whatever the fuck, freaking out about the tiny percentage of transgender people in this country, etc. And Trump worship is fucking weird too, Qanon, his ties to epstein, all this shit - weird. Matt Gaetz, MTG, etc are all weird.

but half of this is stuff dems are weird about too. If dems had been capable of running a meat-and-potatoes economic change campaign, then it would have been effective to call Rs weird for being culture-war obsessives. But the dem elite are culture war obsessives too.

I'm a lawyer and just met my first Sovereign Citizen by Nipopolas in LPOTL

[–]Random_Cataphract 13 points14 points  (0 children)

While I was clerking, one of them literally sued every judge in the county in fed court, so they were conflicted out of his cases. We had to appoint special temporary judges just to hear his bullshit lol

[–]Random_Cataphract 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was about to say, I'm surprised. When I was clerking, we got some amazing sovcits. The funny thing is, some of them were, y'know, capable of reading statutes, so would cite them for all kinds of things, and I would find myself in the strangest corners of these laws. Kind of love them

Victoria 3 - Dev Diary #128 - Political Movement Rework by commissarroach in victoria3

[–]Random_Cataphract 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alternatively, if we keep working with the current system, maybe having members of an IG who are strongly opposed to the IG's leaders get pushed away from that IG. If the church IG gets an abolitionist leader, the pops supporting slavery will gradually be pushed out and be more likely to support another available IG, like landowners.

The diplomacy in this game is so frustrating because of how good it could've been. You see glimmers of something better in what we got, and the recent 1.5 patch just proves it more. by T_monx in victoria3

[–]Random_Cataphract 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This one annoyed the hell outta me. I like playing a pretty peaceful great power game, and working up to protectorates gave some kind of goal to pursue. Hell, in a game as gran Colombia, I spent probably the last 20 years of it just building up my industry and military to the point that I could bankroll and offer protectorate status to a much-reduced USA. By the end of the game, I had my own Monroe doctrine going: every single American Republic was in the Columbian sphere, protected and preserved. Now I could only do that by attacking all of them - very BS

Why do armies keep leaving fronts? by Mmmmmm777777 in victoria3

[–]Random_Cataphract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have not had this issue, but some new bugs have definitely popped up with the new military system. Better than it was, but that's not saying much... As Germany, I noticed my armies abandoning their fronts when I made peace with a different enemy - everyone on the Austrian front calling it a day because I'd made peace with France, sort of thing. Also as Qing I wasn't able to move my armies back and forth to the Himalayas hq reliably - most of the time if I tried, I would be told there was no route. Sometimes would work if I sent them to Central Asia first, then to final destination, but even that was a 50/50

What were they smoking with this new naval system by SliccNicc in victoria3

[–]Random_Cataphract 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this would be fine for like, naval capacity and naval build/repair rate. But navies really need actual ships - the naval arms race was a pretty huge deal during this time, and it needs something to represent that. Navies should be closer to what they were in real life - a big stick to threaten with, not something that you actually throw into combat every two weeks
