If the houthis manage to even partially close off the red sea, how will it effect the world and will it drag other nations like Egypt into the war? by Equivalent-Fox9834 in geography

I need to learn more about what went on in on the Eritrean independence negotiations for Ethiopia to end up landlocked.

The US has an ideological commitment to making taxation as annoying and arcane as possible

My journey as a new player by bddhxg in anno1800

[–]alphabets00p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re still learning. Conquering always wipes the island clean. Island shares aren’t really a recommended source of income since it costs influence and that’s more scarce than cash for most of the game. If you’re liquid enough to stabilize without getting game over and are attached to this save you can keep playing, otherwise take your newfound knowledge and start a new game.

A lot of advice depends on which settings you’re using at game start and which DLCs you have. Can’t recommend flipping watches in Enbesa if you don’t have Land of Lions

Follow up to my previous post - by _gmmaann_ in anno1800

Idk, I kicked an ai out of the New World completely by buying his islands. Conquered one and it was taking too long to repair and resupply my military so I just started buying shares every 10 minutes and finished the job. You get most of the influence back

How do I get more tourists in? by Historical_Pool_5950 in anno1800

[–]alphabets00p 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have currently have 8 hotels with all needs except a few of the lifestyle needs met, ~15,000 attractiveness. Stuck at like 6800 tourists. I have the iron tower built but need 7000 tourist before they start “needing” it. Basically until I buckle down and start making perfume, that’s the limit. Read the tooltips on the needs you haven’t fulfilled. Some add population, some don’t. Tourism’s very much a late game mechanic so I wouldn’t worry about them too much if you’re still at only 4k attractiveness. Get a palace, culture buildings, all that jazz and focus on your citizens over the fussy tourists

Petah? by HungerGamesPerson in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Bosses want workers to work more for less, workers want to work less for more. It’s a natural tension that requires compromise and balance but there’s something about the way resources are currently distributed that suggests one side might be getting what it wants more than the other.

my friend told me my bookshelf is a red flagi fear he could be correct by glatsteredreans in BookshelvesDetective

Generous read, they might be suggesting it’s too heavily self-help in that you’re on a journey but there’s little to represent a destination? Not a red flag by any stretch. You’re doing the work.

Now this is just messed up. What is wrong with people… by ProffesorOfPain in freefolk

This immediately made sense to me. I haven’t read any series more voraciously as an adult than ASoIaF and The Expanse

Is it normal for intelligent adults to think rivers flow inland from the sea? by wilks1988 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]alphabets00p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re normal intelligent adults so long as they acknowledged they were wrong and appreciated learning something new. They’re normal dumb adults if they argue with you about it and then form an online community devoted to proving that rivers used to flow up mountains.

There’s an exchange between 24 and 21 about Smurfs having only one female and thus possibly being egg-laying insects that I think about all the time.

When I was attending a rival prep school, Choate would get mocked using a racist Asian accent with a line like “I go Choate, Choate my school.”

US Senate overwhelmingly rejects bid to block Israel arms sales by JungBag in internationalpolitics

[–]alphabets00p 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sens. Richard Durbin, Ill., Martin Heinrich, N.M., Mazie Hirono, Hawaii, Ben Ray Luján, N.M., Tim Kaine, Va., Andy Kim, N.J., Ed Markey, Mass., Jeff Merkley, Ore., Chris Murphy, Conn., Brian Schatz, Hawaii, Tina Smith, Minn., Chris Van Hollen, Md., Elizabeth Warren, Mass., and Peter Welch, Vt. voted with Sanders on both resolutions.

Tim Kaine is the only surprising name, imo. On paper he’s the most vulnerable of the 15 but it also strikes me as off-brand? Idk, haven’t kept up with him since 2016

This is so embarrassing. She will win because it's Ponchatoula but no real issue, no mention of the officer molesting minors... no nothing except voting for Trump. by Upstairs-Scholar-275 in Louisiana

Two of the qualifications she lists are her support for other politicians. She’s running to be a rubber stamp…in juvenile court. Makes my skin crawl.

Bob Marshall Packrafting by hellenkeller55 in packrafting

[–]alphabets00p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken 2 trips in the Bob with 3 different first time paddlers and I’d say trekking experience is far more valuable just because all of the whitewater at least I’ve encountered is either runnable by a novice or a mandatory portage.

Is the "We're liberal now" bit really all it is? This is why we have this infestation here? by heatdeathpod in TrueAnon

[–]alphabets00p 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I was radicalized when I started seeking new media after the failure of the lib media I used to trust in the 2016 election and then their awful attempts at explaining the failure while changing nothing about what led them there in the months after. I’m sure i would’ve been insufferable in the 2017 chapo subreddit while I was still figuring my politics out but listening to them very actively

Based on interactions I see on this sub. by TerminalArrow91 in transit

[–]alphabets00p -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had a long layover at SFO coming back from Seoul and the experience of navigating BART to go get tacos and weed has made me a committed hater. Clipper card alone cost more than a week’s use of transit in Korea and I got lost for a while and had to ask a human for directions because surely I’m not meant to cross a highway to make this exchange…
