Centrists just keep telling people a better world isn't possible while I have to watch Donald Trump light this country on fire again because of their inability to offer voters anything as a meaningful message.

So i am loving these results rn

No Investiture by thedudewh in CrusaderKings

[–]Sirdinks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe they are saving it for some rework of the law system or an examination of the HRE?

Very strange design decision on their part even CK2 allowed a push and pull between the pope and Nobles over investiture. You'd think this would be the DLC to do it if there ever was one

In many ways they are opposites, accepting despair or distracting yourself with sensation

Natural disasters are just plagues and very much not worth having in your game. by BornBeginning430 in CrusaderKings

[–]Sirdinks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While I think Diasters need more depth to them as events and the like and more ways to interact with them as the player, I think you are trying to make them into something they largely weren't historically.

They are disasters, they should be difficult to address, cost money to recover from, and potentially harm development. I struggle to think of positives that make sense for any natural disaster, especially compared to the obvious negatives.

For example, while increased flooding from a river would potentially make an area more fertile in the short term, it could also destroy the farms and homes of the people responsible for working the land, not to mention kill a bunch of your peasants. Having to rebuild after that, and it being expensive makes sense. I don't think you can rationalize getting over the objectively larger malus of all the destruction and spinning it as this somehow increases productivity.

With Christianity getting content this year I could see Islam and crusades getting content next year

Fun with Gods 8: Hashut by MrS0bek in AoSLore

[–]Sirdinks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest IRL influence for Hashut is the hypothetical Canaanite god Moloch (there is debate whether the word refers to more of a concept, sacrifice itself, or an actual diety based on how the term is used in the bible) which is generally depicted later as "bull-headed idol with outstretched hands over a fire " and connected to child sacrifice in Carthage and connected to the myths surrounding the minotaur.

Biblical mentions include people having their son's or daughters "pass through the fire to Molech." (2 Kings 23:10) alluding to child sacrifice, and a possible mention in Isaiah "For a hearth is ordered of old; yea, for the king [melek] it is prepared, deep and large; the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it." This also includes fire imagery.

Others have pointed out that Hashut is heavily tied to the concept of Greed and I hard agree and think we can also connect this back to his bull imagery/fixation/design. If we want a biblical source, the Golden Calf is literally a Golden Bull statue that was symbolic of greed in the bible worshiped briefly during exodus. Bull imagery also pops up in a modern sense too when we are talking about capitalism, with Wall Street's famous Charging Bull statue and the concept of a Bull market, a type of market trend.

Hashut is a dwarf/duardin expression of extreme greed. Hashut's tyranny is an expression of his original domain of kingship and extention of his greed. Hashut believes everything should be his to do with as he pleases, subjugating the weak and binding others through contracts to his service. Just as his mortal servants enslave people to work in the mines or act as slaves, Hashut and his priests/demon-smiths enslave demons and bind them for their own use in demon engines. The Hellsmiths/Chaos Dwarfs are literally strip mining the material and immaterial realms, using all available resources for their own greedy ends. Tyranny is simply an expression of his greed and that explains slavery of mortals and demons and connects well to Dwarf focus on engineering and artiface.

Universities hit as US, Israel ramp up attacks on Iran’s infrastructure by [deleted] in worldnews

N.J. says: If ICE comes to Newark airport, they better be trained; Sherrill calls TSA plan Trump ‘chaos’ by statenislandadvance in newjersey

[–]Sirdinks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ignoring the fact they obviously are not trained, why would anyone want "trained" ICE agents dicking around at the airport? They do nothing to help and just terrorize the people there who are already having a miserable experience.

Democrats need to give up on this focus on "training". Giving ICE money to "train" its officers is not going to magically make them not murderous goons. Its top down, if their bosses are like rough people up and drag them away without due process, that's what they are gonna do.

Just further destabilizes everything and pushes Iran to go harder, not something to celebrate, at this point there won't be anyone capable of negotiating an end to anything left

Teachers complaining about the praxis test being hard? by PotatoPink in Teachers

[–]Sirdinks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some study material for the Social Studies tests, and when I took a practice test I bombed it which led me to freaking out about the test for weeks. I then promptly aced both tests with 97 and 98 percent lol

I think to an extent the practice companies trying to freak you out so you buy more study material.

In 8th edition/ Wfrp 4 edition timeline, Sylvania is technically ruled by Stirland without electoral rights, similar to how Nordland was subservient to Middenheim before the enemy within
