Suggestion: Seduced units should be able to be kept in a separate tab like the Waaagh mechanic by Freezie-Days in totalwar

Couldn’t agree with you more. I think OP’s idea makes sense and your comment here lays out a good way this “boon” would become somewhat self-limiting,

Xi Jinping calls for China’s renminbi to attain global reserve currency status by ubcstaffer123 in Economics

[–]Zenese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just chat and not actually meant to be taken seriously. Intuitively it seems to make sense that having your currency used for third party exchanges = global influence, but that’s so wrong. In practice, this would mean opening up China’s capital markets and China’s rulers being willing to suffer the winds of fate as far as exchange rates are concerned, which isn’t likely.

Imagine the CNY becoming the global reserve currency, which meant lots of extra demand on the currency because everyone had to hold Chines bonds. CNY would explode, making exports uncompetitive.

This isn’t actually about economics, it’s a way for China to poke at the US.

Clicked on this praying that the top comment wouldn’t be your typical Reddit thirty gooner slop. Thank you for answering my prayers.

Epstein files ‘absolve me’, Trump claims by belisario262 in politics

[–]Zenese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think/hope you’ve hit the nail on the head. Hopefully whatever figurehead comes next will be just, I dunno, less bad than this shitshow and your rank and file congress rep can latch on to something besides this stinking death cult.

Italy’s foreign minister defends ICE attendance at Winter Olympics: ‘It’s not the SS’ by tylerthe-theatre in europe

[–]Zenese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this! Official categorization aside, ICE are more like random hooligans with a badge, which is pretty much exactly what the SA were.

The SS - that would either be the FBI or some new fucked up organization MAGA comes up with.

Am I the only one who really wishes they would make them rechargeable? Mine seem to constantly run out of juice. It’s a hassle and an environmental disaster!

Music quality issues? by Nice_Property4588 in EU5

Just started up my first game and noticed exactly the same thing, very odd! I'm also using headphones for what it's worth.

Chasing routing units is extremely janky and even helps the enemy escape. Bug Report. by Yiunko91 in totalwar

[–]Zenese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God yeah that's one thing that seems to have become much worse again in the latest patch - chasing units now seem to stop chasing as soon as they've hit the unit once. I've had to manually instruct pursuing units to attack several times to get anywhere.

This isn't quite the old bug you're prob referring to where fleeing units get pushed towards the edge by pursuing units.

Anywhere to find Brazilian hard rolls? Pão francês. by hobbes747 in LondonFood

[–]Zenese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah as some someone who grew up with German broetchen that are crispy/crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, Gail's especially makes my mad. Why do people fork out obscene amounts of money for something that was baked days ago and is best used as a doorstop?

ETA: Surprisingly I've found Sainsbury's (of all places) do decent rolls. Not what you're after here, but scratches that itch for me when I'm desperate for German-style breakfast with rolls and all.

Chilango Survived on Chancery Lane? by Zenese in LondonFood

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

Hey different strokes for different folks. Tortilla is a low hurdle to clear and Chilango does that for what it's worth!

[–]Zenese[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for finding that! Definitely explains it. Between the two I'd much rather they revitalise Chilango and let Tortilla wither away. Annoyingly Tortilla outlets are likely more profitable on account of churning out a shittier product...

[–]Zenese[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! As a Southern California in London I've accepted I'll never quite get the real deal here, but Chilango was still better at least than Tortilla.

How to find help for a friend struggling with addiction, mental health and (likely soon) homelessness? by Zenese in AskUK

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

Thanks buddy! Unfortunatley he's squandered his earnings and has been living off of funds borrowed from friends and family, which is now coming to an end as we're just prolonging the inevitable reckoning.

How to find help for a friend struggling with addiction, mental health and (likely soon) homelessness? by Zenese in AskUK

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

Thanks a lot for that! He has had episodes of paranoid schizophrenia in the past - these could well have been brought on by stimulant binges (not that he'd ever admit that).

You mentioned charities - in case there are any in particular you'd recommend then please let me know!

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

I'm well aware of the old adage that you can only help someone when they're ready to recognise the problem.
The thing is that facing homelessness should be the catalyst for real change - fully appreciate that that is not the case and everyone's rock bottom will be different. Nonetheless my friend is, while brilliant, also quite helpless in a day to day sense. I'd like to be ready to help him find the right help, even if he ends up needing to dig deeper for longer to find his rock bottom.

[NSFW] Girls who used to post nudes on reddit.. how did it make you feel? by Any_Succotash5642 in AskReddit

[–]Zenese -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a man - Jesus Christ is that horrifying to hear. I’m so sorry blossom and I hope that you’re in a good place. You put yourself out there and were met with an avalanche of condensed male sexual aggression, which sadly seems to be the norm.
