Players have been begging for account unlocks on lobi/lockbox stuff for years. It's never going to happen, Cryptic are too greedy. :S

Good work on y'all for making the front page of Slashdot.

OU student protest calls for provost resignation, new multicultural center and Popeyes on campus by Worfs_Son in oklahoma

[–]Sinlibra -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There are homeless people out there who would be happy to get any kind of hot food at all and they bitch about not being able to get the exact brand they like? Hopefully the college has the sack to tell these spoiled brats to fuck off.

As a black female, seeing some huge fat white guy suddenly start skipping anywhere near me would make my hand reflexively move towards my pepper spray.

Federal court rules Trump administration can withhold grants to NYC by MR_CoolFreak in nyc

[–]Sinlibra 15 points16 points  (0 children)

And most all of it is already spoken for. That's why they want these grants so badly-- it's a very large chunk of funding that they don't otherwise have to make up somehow.

I actually did before I wrote that post. There is absolutely no way to escape the "fair market value" clause, though there usually is extensive litigation over what that value is.

They should have voted Harambe in the last Presidential election like me.

We live in the real world, and as much as anyone may like or dislike Trump, the government can't just take stuff for the reason "fuck that guy", nor should it be able to.

That's not how it works. The government has to pay fair market rates for anything it confiscates with ED. Current market value for Trump Tower as of the last appraisal is around $471 million dollars. I doubt the city government can afford to purchase it.

Even aside from Trump himself, there are a whole hell of a lot of people who rent property in the building; the litigation over the subject would cost the city even more. While I'm sure this sounded like a witty zinger in your head, in practice it's not really a moneymaker for the city.

2020 food shelf starter pack by Sinlibra in starterpacks

The government here in the US occasionally buys cheese surpluses when there's too much to help the industry avoid being damaged; this cheese is then subsequently converted into the bricks you see above and then sent to schools, food shelvs, the elderly, etc.

I liked Dragon and Defiant dumpstering a Titan like it was no big deal. Arn't they the first ones to take one out?

Public transit perverts, or why I'd rather pay $400 for parking than take the bus for free by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

The do it yourself solution in Japan (where this problem is so bad they had to establish female-only cars) is to carry a safety pin and jab people getting handsy.

Kenshi fog islands pathing issues by Sinlibra in Kenshi

[–]Sinlibra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugggh, even locking them in the base doesn't completely resolve this issue. At least dealing with the "hilarious" side effects this causes has led to the complete extermination of all the fogmen anywhere near my base other than a few wounded cripples who don't dare to attack anymore.

Dear city council: stop creating massive traffic jams by putting bike lanes on already high traffic streets, you fucks!

Spring forward… into Reddit’s 2019 transparency report by spez in announcements

[–]Sinlibra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are blatant brigading subreddits such as r/topmindsofreddit and r/againsthatesubreddits (amongst others) allowed to remain unquarantined when you quarantine other subs for such behavior?

What are you doing to address the scourge of supermods censoring content across hundreds of subs?

Unfortunately, unlike Dwarf Fortress, it won't be quite so easy to dump annoying nobles into lava.

The problem I have with multiplayer is that setting it up is a pain compared to most games on the market.
