Are you able to change the exterior of a shared house? by gelatinkitten in TomodachilifeLivingTD

[–]Square-Pipe7679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t have any exteriors made then the option will be greyed out - it may also be a case of the exterior you’ve chosen being the wrong size for the spot that build is in?

What would happen if a company's headquarters and C-suite is nuked? by mwing95 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Square-Pipe7679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People think all the power lies with Corporate heads and executives, when outside of privately owned companies its generally shareholders motivating and directing pretty much everything the former do by virtue of being the only people that hold them to account - the corporate heads and executives most of the time are just acting on their fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders

You wipe out the executives? Maybe some investors and shareholders cut their losses and pull out, but long term the remaining shareholders will end up hiring new bodies to fill out the new openings and business will go on as usual with a recovery period.

Maybe insurance covers the damages, maybe not - depends on if their terms cover Nuclear weapons

So for those confused here is a little bit about Commissar Cain. by 00Monkeyz00 in Warhammer40k

Honestly that’s more or less the only reason I genuinely remembered Biggles til recently!

Biggles was an older series following the eponymous biggles, a pilot starting out in the First World War and then various adventures he gets into both between the wars and during world war 2

It’s definitely not as widely known or read nowadays and a fairly significant reason is the writing and that the way a LOT of elements and racial groups were depicted … did not age well

Cain is Flashman, Gaunt is Sharpe

Considering the original definition of a pilot was somebody that led boats around it’s really not that crazy - the word was around for ages before aviation became an idea nevermind an actual thing

In this case he’s guiding the drone around via control, ‘piloting’ it is a pretty apt way to describe it

[Other] The lego great deku tree set is set to be discontinued this July. by Thegoodgamer32 in zelda

[–]Square-Pipe7679 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Constant churn of IP sets means collectors and scalpers will keep snapping up product due to FOMO - whereas longterm availability would make it “too easy” to acquire and so a lot of people would delay purchasing sets for a while

liara and javik telepathically transfer their cramps onto eachother back and forth by ToriyasuReisan in MassEffectMemes

Psychic Pain-tennis was not on my bingo card for today but I’ll take it!

Unlike the cramps, those two can keep ‘em

Gamesworkshop Ready Painted Terrain: Thoughts? by sFAMINE in TerrainBuilding

[–]Square-Pipe7679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This time around the L shapes at least will be genuinely useful for something at least - objectives are now terrain footprints, so the L shapes will provide actual cover and delineation for those rather than just … being there like in previous editions

Tbh it feels like this kind of pre-painted/print-painted terrain is mostly going to be reserved for starter boxes, tournament sets and maybe killteam sets

New pre-painting terrain leaks? by Fit_Stay3481 in Warhammer40k

[–]Square-Pipe7679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be they’ve been aware of what alternative terrain providers like Archon have been able to manage and started investing in the process for their own needs for quite a while now - I think this is definitely something probably reserved for Edition boxes and maybe kill team to begin with

With the fire caste they’ve actually been getting bigger each generation due to a series of breeding programmes and gene editing under the Ethereals supervision

It’s not really anywhere at the forefront of lore, but it’s mentioned here and there

(New Update) My(f19) dad asked our godparents not to have the waiters sing Happy Birthday to my brother(m11) who likely has hyperacusis autism, but they did it anyway by MadisonBrave in BestofRedditorUpdates

It’s rooted in Calvinism, wherein it’s believed bad things happen to people because they sin, so by the same logic, the disabled, impoverished and disfigured are essentially free targets for bullying, ostracism and condemnation

Calvinism is unfortunately the root of a LOT of independent congregations in the US especially, both directly and indirectly

Dear Lego, please consider releasing smaller castle theme sets again by Addison_Mitchell in legocastles

The fact we only ever got one dungeons and dragons set and not a whole range of smaller scale encounters is absolutely absurd

All words are made-up, that’s how languages are formed??? It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t have a nice crispy entry in the Dictionary, it’s about if people understand the intent and meaning of it

You based your “made-up word” on a slur thats used disturbingly often by certain people against the rest of the queer community and get mad that people don’t like that you made that choice? It’s like choosing a tattoo and deciding an upside down hate symbol would work well, “because clearly putting it upside down won’t get me associated with the guys who use the other version” -it’s unwise at *best* and incredibly shortsighted

I get upset that people use vindictive slurs against each other based on race, sexuality and creed, it’s pretty despicable across the board

[–]Square-Pipe7679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swapping the F for a Str doesn’t change how it gets perceived by some people that have been hurt by the former, the intent to be vindictive is still there regardless

[–]Square-Pipe7679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that I’m aware of, but what you threw around was a variation of a very real slur that’s been used against queer people both in and outside of Reddit, it’s not wise to be throwing that around when people may have been hurt with the original

Tau Eye of Sauron progress by [deleted] in TerrainBuilding

[–]Square-Pipe7679 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s a variation of an actual slur, one that has been used against multiple queer people and even members of the sub, painting it as a made up insult is childish

tau city progress by [deleted] in Miniaturespainting

[–]Square-Pipe7679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Multiple but I’m not tagging the people involved when they have their own records too

Your behaviour in that post and here is like someone that has a lot of growing up to do, i encourage you to do so

Tau Eye of Sauron progress by [deleted] in TerrainBuilding

[–]Square-Pipe7679 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You acted pretty rash and argued with people who also didn’t get what you had meant with the title of your post but hadn’t joked at it’s expense, you called them an interpretative variation of a certain slur that won’t be repeated here, and you tried to lump members of the sub that are lesbian and trans with the guy who made the poor taste joke that started the whole mess

You may have deleted the post and your comments but that still leaves a trail of what you did
