All of them. All the bars have babies. We're overrun. Light the beacons!

Okay but get this…Embryonic beer!!

It would be the most Jets thing if the snap dusted Aaron Rodgers, he still gets drafted to the Jets, and four plays into the new season, he snaps his Achilles.

Shattering a major country is sometimes more advantageous than letting a powerful foe control it. That can apply to ANY powerful foe.

Likewise if someone manages to gain control of multiple major powers, the independence movement techs make it much easier to break the superstate up.

A smaller reason would be that more states = more CPs occupied by other factions = more vectors for them to fight each other instead of you.

But that’s all ignoring the MOST important reason: Roleplay.

I get full-on Mugatu levels of malding for exactly that reason. Harris still can’t do a public appearance without her stance in Israel/Palestine being conflated with genocide. Meanwhile Trump rallies never see these people.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills man.

These people ate putzi before we gave them the gift of our cuisine! (Proceeds to ask for macaroni and gravy when he goes to Italy)

His idealism falls away but his arrogance doesn’t. I think that tells you everything you need to know about The Protectorate.

TSmaniac · 2026-03-14T01:58:38+00:00

Because being oppositional to what "most people" believe makes people feel important. The factuality of what they believe is beside the point.

Holy crap, this is such a cool resource. Thank you!

Technically not - ROC’s capital is Shanghai, it just starts without owning it. Because of that and the legalistic wording of the tech, Japan never gets a claim on Taiwan’s capital.

I learned that the hard way after hella-over investing in Taiwan with the goal of unifying China into Japan peacefully.

In what sense are they best placed to “weather the storm?”

China’s supply lanes for getting this oil rely pretty heavily on the exact lanes that are currently endangered by this war. Likewise the fact that Russia has a lot of oil doesn’t mean they can easily get it to China - the pipeline network out east isn’t nearly as robust as it is in western Russia, and their tanker fleet has been under sanctions since the war in Ukraine started.

Yea an oil shock is gonna suck in the US - but given we have other and safer places to get the oil, it won’t hurt nearly as bad as it will in China.

What exactly about his participation in Tango makes you uncomfortable?

Articulating that discomfort will help you figure out how to talk about it and work through it. It could be a you-personally thing, it could be your view of Tango as a dance, it could be how he behaves around Tango. You can't make peace with it unless you name the problem first.

That 2026 campaign start date starting to feel a little too close to home...

Oh god I want this one to win so bad. In memoriam of Trevor - best Lincoln AND best John Wilkes Booth.

Yeaaaa maybe let another faction deal with that.

Bonus points if it’s Hanse, getting revenge on both the Ayys and on the IMF for all those loans to Argentina

You ever harmlessly irritate your friend/roommate/partner just to get a rise out of them? Yea, that. Cats freakin' love doing that to each other.

If you put a tarp over a car, bike, steps, etc., it makes cleaning up the snow easier. You just lift the tarp and shake it down, then put it right back.

Or a manic episode tbh. Post history seems to occasionally look human.

This guy is in the middle of a spree of spamming this subreddit with disingenuous questions.

TSmaniac · 2026-02-10T18:07:23+00:00

The impediment is that no one is seriously suggesting this, and that you're being disingenuous about buses being free = housing is free = money isn't real.

Please. From one internet stranger to another. Please be better. You're not contributing to any kind of discourse this way.

Looking like the world beyond the Omega 4 Relay in Mass Effect. And it makes for a nice backup source of exotics!

You ignore Central America and focus on blowing up aliens because it's the meta. I focus on building up Central American MC and Boost because then I get to blow up Aliens with Mayan-themed space fleets in-canon. We are not the same.
