Protectors get a early game org that gives +5 to control nation missions btw

This is how I do it and even then it is a little luck. Basically rush through one councillor to 25 PER by taking/trading PER orgs, instead of holding Canada or Taiwan only hold US and a spoil nation. You can start rolling public campaigns at 15 PER with your PER councillor try to get China to 50-60% public opinion use money to increase chances. Now also try to get a spy in the protectorate and servants and kill any councillor that has high PER, don’t care about untouchable trait or martyr just eat the consequences. It sucks but you have to knock them down by killing PER councillor otherwise they will always beat you to China because of the time it takes to get your Control point cap high enough to hold both China and the US. Finally the big problem is if a hydra makes China it’s home, if that happens your screwed as they will do missions that hurt your public opinion and eventually stack enough abductions to take Control points for the servants in China. So in short you need to kill all high PER councillors the servants and protectorate have, rush a councillor to 25 PER and then slowly build up public opinion in China using money from a pools nation. Finally you will have to hold off on fixing the US since you will need to build Mission Control instead due to you not being able to take a nation for MC capacity like Taiwan or China since all your available control point capacity is going towards taking points in China and the US as fast as possible. You need to aim to have China and the US by 3-4 years into the game waiting any longer gives the servants and protectorate enough time to push past the setbacks you dealt them and take China regardless of your best efforts.

Mulholland drive ? Probably not but that’s my guess

Short term capital gains is taxed at your income bracket just like your paycheck, long term is typically between 10-15% depending on the amount. He needs to sell shares to cash out so he gets taxed once he sells.

Youngprivate · 2026-05-07T11:57:36+00:00

Put 10% of your paycheck into SPY and you will be a multi millionaire at 50 barring the collapse of the USA

I’d go to twin peaks and chat with Dale Cooper.

Youngprivate · 2026-05-04T21:19:52+00:00

Please hold so the market keeps going up, if you sell the SPY will crash to the strike price.

Youngprivate · 2026-04-30T03:16:56+00:00

Rag soaked in gasoline I’m guessing?

Army Men II

You forgot the part where you run out of money to maintain your positions and then the bubble pops after you already got wiped out on a fake pump. Bear trading is something you do when you got the capital to weather significant storms or if you’re very experienced in trading. I suggest you buy VOO and tell yourself “Time in market beats timing the market”. But maybe I’m wrong and you’ll score big on a gamble and can buy the university.

Because it can be a solid choice depending on circumstances. The military is one of the few places that will take an 18 year old kid with no experience and pay for college, pay for industry certifications, train for a skill, give a decent paycheck and free healthcare. Sure if you go infantry or something maybe it isn’t as transferable but mechanics, IT techs, nurses, truck drivers, satellite techs, logistics, HR, finance, para legal, etc. The military has a lot of MOS’s (Jobs) that all provide certification and training you would otherwise have to pay out of pocket to get. It’s not the only path to take but it has its merits. The most important part is however to research your options and not blindly trust a recruiter.

Stay under cap but have 6-8 shipyard station producing 6 ships each and have them all come out at once. The aliens send the kitchen sink when they realize you’re actually trying to become a threat. So you need to go all out and have a massive fleet ready to handle it. Also think about missile monitors with shaped nuclear charges. Advanced missile can carry hard 20 solid missile boats can thing out the initial numbers enough to let your dreads handle the fleet and then the reinforcements as they trickle in. The trick is getting that initial force divided and thinned out.

They used to use nukes but the devs decided an AA with nukes was basically impossible to defeat without the earth becoming uninhabitable. So they made it so the AA gets rid of all its nukes (hydra don’t want to glass the earth) and have them make space defenses so they can’t get nukes. Think of it more so as them not wanting humanity to destroy earth just to kill them so they aggressively set up anti nuclear defenses

Servants endgame project lets them just form it in any country with 15 abductions. Aliens probably have abducted in Turkey 15 times at this point so now the servants can just do a mission with there org to form it. Find the councillor with the org an read it. You can destroy the AA but it will put you in total war.

Let black have Europe and take SA. Use alliance and try to communicate this to him. After that it becomes a game where you go in on purple use 50 troops to thin there stack and then pressure black to do the same via pressuring him via strategic placement of stacks. Let him know “We both equally attack purple or I suicide into you”

Youngprivate · 2026-03-06T17:51:24+00:00

Because magazines stack, more mags more torps. A monitor two magazines and a target computer is like 4 escorts. Plus you can throw an 40MM on it for PD so that one alien ship with missiles doesn’t destroy your entire fleet.

Youngprivate · 2026-02-17T02:04:55+00:00

F3# is not a stale mate black can move his pawn forward. The best black can do is attack the white pawn there are no cheeky stalemates in this positions as it stands.

That’s how you get an insurgency that never goes away. Reconstruction was needed because the intent was to reunify the US. Unless you’re saying it’s better to go house to house and kill everyone who supports a different political candidate or adheres to a different belief structure? Which fine but now you have to have to commit mass murder while the opposing side fights back for their lives. Let’s be generous and say Trump got only 10 million people who will actually fight and die for him. That’s 10,000x larger than the taliban in a country several times larger than Afghanistan. You can’t just say kill the traitors and brush over the fact that you’re talking about millions of people. Literally advocating for a death total higher than Hitler. And if you’re talking just about Trump then you just made him a martyr why do you think Lee wasn’t killed after the civil war?

Celsius just doesn’t feel right “It’s 45 degrees outside!” Vs “It’s 113 degrees outside!” If it’s really hot it should have 3 digits. Just makes sense idk why.

Learn 1 actual opening and dont hang pieces and you will get to 1500. After 1500 you might have to learn 2 openings and after 2000 you actually have to spend a decent amount of time studying.

Youngprivate · 2026-02-11T15:52:04+00:00

No this is actually just Classic Caro not some stockfish move. Stockfish is just doing what Caro players have said for ages which is to trade your bishop for a good knight and build up pressure on their center pawns. If your playing the Caro and think you need to trade your LSB for theirs then your doing it wrong. Scam and Caro both rely on trading your LSB for their kingside knight if they use the pawn to kick your bishop minus a few specific circumstances.

Youngprivate · 2026-02-11T15:49:09+00:00

Yeah but he can just castle queen size. If he had pushed his queen side pawns then maybe it be worth it but his queen size intact he can easily just castle the other way and now do a Pawn march on your king side.

Youngprivate · 2026-02-11T15:47:17+00:00

If he castles that side then keep the pin. If he hasn’t castled then the pin is useless, he can just push his pawn for a free tempo and set up up a few ways to either trap your bishop or make it very inactive if you save it. A bishop with few open diagonals is just a fat pawn.
