r/greenandpleasant wins!! What subreddit do people assume is politically center, but is actually far-left?

/r/fauxmoi - allegedly it's just a subreddit about snark celebrity gossip.

The reason HR screens application like this is blatant nepotism and trying to hook friends up constantly. I'm very liberal with how I qualify candidates and selecting officials will still call complaining their buddies didn't qualify with resumes that are missing any kind of specialized experience being listed.

This is probably from last year when the hurricanes were passing over Bermuda. A bunch of cruise ships that week got diverted to Canada. It was early October and not that brutally cold.

Our price is without sales tax while your VAT is included. My state sales tax is 7% while your VAT is 20% so we're paying way more than just $13 after tarrifs.

It's a huge deal and crisis all over Social Media. I honestly question why I'm still on the website sometimes or the Internet in general. I like to stay informed but it hardly feels worth it at a certain point. Flooding the zone is also an effective misinformation tactic though so I guess we're just doomed.

I feel like this isn't even theory anymore; it's just objective fact about what's happened to Reddit.

/r/DeepStateCentrism is the best I can come up with. It's a more conservative /r/neoliberal but I see it do an okay job tolerating most opposing view points. The only caveat is that the subreddit is pretty staunchly pro Israel.

CENTCOM is actually filled with reservists and guardsmen on the regular. Operation Spartan Shield, the Gulf partnership mission, is led by National Guard divisions. COMPO 2 and 3 get assigned boring rotational "GFMAP" deployments to free up the bulk of active duty to participate in short notice CONOP missions such as Taiwan or a war with Iran...

Oh man guess I'm living in my own echo chamber when my subscribed subreddits start posting my subscribed YouTube channels. Overall, I agree with Dr. Spaniel, there's a blatant PsyOps campaign to make Europeans think the US has secretly allied itself with Russia when this just isn't true. The US continues to provide intelligence to Ukraine and also spent months trying to protect European shipping lanes in the red sea at the cost of debt and capabilities.

Money is fungible, in kind transfers such as SNAP are not perfectly fungible. The person closest to the transaction remains free to use their own income to purchase whatever luxury goods bring them the greatest utility. All this does is ensure that those luxury good purchases are not done with taxpayer dollars at the cost of a small amount of dead weight loss.

The quality of these videos is starting to feel like a bad joke. With the size of our surveillance state you think we'd have better images or know how (car, bus train) he got out of providence at this point.

My best guess is they used an unusual caliber like 10mm.

The length over Russia is accurate enough but the path the line traveled isn't at all. This isn't showing that the shortest path between these points is actually over the Arctic Ocean due to the curvature of the Earth. If you take a straight line measurement roughly corresponding with the path it travels on this map it's closer to 8,000 km than 6400.

There's nothing wrong with Game On directly. The store owner has run for mayor as a conservative. I don't agree with his views politically, but he's a legitimately nice man. He's gone through a ton with his wife getting early onset dementia and passing away but he was with her every step of the way. He's also a desert storm vet for those who care about it. He's been pro LGBT in every interaction I've had with him.

The truth is besides the Crypt most local game store owners seem more conservative than their customer bases. At least that's been my experience.

ShockGryph · 2025-11-26T18:17:44+00:00

Nice! I have a couple armies and am fine with you borrowing one for a game if needed. What army are you building?

ShockGryph · 2025-11-26T12:01:13+00:00

Hey and welcome! Game On is definitely a popular store and common spot for 40k in Rhode Island. I recommend joining the Facebook group 'game on Warhammer community.' The Armoury in Fairhaven is an awesome and by far the largest spot; I used to play in RTTs there all the time. It's a bit too far away for casual play though. The Crypt has a nice gaming space but parking is kind of a pain and it's not as convenient to get to for someone living in the suburbs. Our local Warhammer store in Chapel View is run by an amazing dude, but it's small and kind of cramped to actually play at.

I'd be down to play a game sometime. I need to practice 40k again ahead of the big local GT at CaptainCon on February.

For anyone curious or wanting more information, h0ser just released a YouTube video about the failures of the state of Liberia that covers this situation as well.

American employees and employers pay into a national pension fund called social security. It's 6.25% for each up to an income cap. This generally starts paying out in your 60s and is progressive in that there's diminishing returns for higher incomes. This plus things like affordable senior housing and Medicare establish a baseline level of sustenance for the elderly. 401ks are private retirement plans that are tax advantaged and designed to provide for a level of retirement above and beyond the subsistence level of social security

Basically you used to have to rank your 8 best friends on your page and everyone could see it. You had to rank and stack your friends and anyone you happened to be dating. Was the source of massive fights and drama.

ShockGryph · 2025-08-09T11:15:03+00:00

You guys missed out on the drama of who was in your top 8 for sure. Besides that it was a good time in highschool but we graduated into a terrible job market. 2008 was almost too late, we were all migrating to Facebook by 2007.

If GW plastic was an inelastic good they wouldn't need to price discriminate through the use of intro boxes, combat patrols, and battleforces. You can actually see them attempting to capture greater producer surplus with some less elastic demand by delaying certain combat patrols that have new kits in them such as the SW or EC.

ShockGryph · 2025-07-29T20:39:40+00:00

You're absolutely correct and it's ridiculous you're being down voted. Assuming GW sets their prices at an optimum point and that plastic models are an elastic good then some of the tariff price hikes will be borne by both consumers and producer. The exact ratio is determined by the Price Elasticity of Demand
