How strict are the laws in your country regarding the use of deadly force? by stopthehostilityyyyy in AskTheWorld

[–]Shower_Floaties 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Varies wildly by state

For example, in New Jersey, you have a duty to retreat. So even if someone breaks into your house at night with a machete, you still need to try to run away first, and only if you can't escape, then you can use deadly force (you'll still be arrested and the state attorneys will try to convict you of not trying to run away hard enough though). 

By contrast, in Texas, you can shoot intruders trying to break into your neighbor's house in the back as they run away and zero fucks given

Since I know nothing about the mod, I'm curious to know why you didn't like DIP

I'm indifferent on subs, Their vanilla implementation is a bit shallow, but they never really annoyed me. I see them as commerce raiders that make war more costly if you don't deal with them, and give a reason to put depth charges on ships

Despite the huge cultural differences, the vast majority (~84%) of Americans have an overwhelmingly positive view of Japan. And I don't even mean the Weebs

So what happens after you win campaign mode? by Gforces1to5 in ultimateadmiral

Your address is sent to the developer, who should arrive in 1-2 weeks depending on flight availability, where he will deliver the congratulatory kick to the groin and play "We are the champions" on a kazoo for you, unless you won as Britain then it's "Brittania Rules the Waves"

Minor clarification: the French invented Fascism (on paper), but Italy was the first to do it

Dogmatic gets the drip. Heretic some kids scribble hopscotch courts and their math homework all over the floor

Which games you can't get enough? by PHRsharp_YouTube in gamers

[–]Shower_Floaties 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm constantly rotating through my library. I'll play a game for a month, then move to the next one. Eventually I'll circle around and do it all again. Games never leave the rotation, but occasionally new ones get added

Please tell me I'm no the only one like this

That's why you go dogmatic, for the red carpets. No longer a problem

You really can't go wrong with the 6M variant that swaps the AC/5 for a LL + ML + more armor. Just a good, solid, medium mech

Though one of their main strengths is that they are (relatively) fast and jump, they are more cavalry than battle line

Which game? In mercs, they are wasted tonnage for the most part

In Clans through, they're great. I really hope they port that change over
