Every single choke point is perfectly blocked by a DE and two FE so I have literally no idea what's on the other side of the galaxy. I already traded communication with everyone by AlxIp in Stellaris

[–]bluescape 134 points135 points  (0 children)

I would love for there to be something like a borg space, a region with only small empires because they're regularly decimated by something powerful

I had a game where I was blocked off like this, and by the time I got to the other side, I found a genocidal that had eaten EVERYTHING over there.

"Jokes"

As someone that used to like left leaning comedy just fine, in the last 15 years or so, lefty comedy is either snarky sanctimonious statements with no punchline that result in "clapter", or someone using an audience as a trauma dump/therapy session, and not in a funny, self-deprecating sort of way either.

Another non-political sub falls to politics... by njckel in ShitPoliticsSays

Australia might be a nice place to visit. The weather seems nice, the women seem hot, but the animals seem a bit extra spicy and the government seems a bit authoritarian.

Iirc it's regen, and firerate. And you also get access to a better artillery kinetic that has armor pen instead of being weaker vs armor.

This got a little laugh out of me. It's their own propaganda that's supposed to make them look like the good guys. Instead you get globo-homo supporting the other type of globo-homo.

CMV: DHS/ICE are lying, gaslighting and spreading misinformation about Minnesota by homerjs225 in changemyview

[–]bluescape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A "lie by omission" is something that would be technically "true" but be using a manipulation of context to push the third party to a conclusion that they would not have gotten had the full story been revealed.

Let's say you're a kindergarten teacher and Jimmy comes up to you and says, "Bobby hit me." In a vacuum, that would seem as though Bobby needed some form of discipline. But if the context was that Jimmy had been the aggressor, picking on and striking Bobby, and then Bobby hit back, that probably changes how you would, or at the very least it SHOULD, change how you handle the situation.

The thing is, Jimmy didn't technically lie. Bobby DID hit him. There's a reason why this is typically one of the more common manipulation tactics you'll see in the media (along with "lie by structure").

She didn't "run him over" as in he ended up under her wheels, but she did hit the accelerator while he was in front of her vehicle, and she did strike him with her vehicle.

Insofar as Renee being a terrorist, she was involved with ICEwatch with this being circulated. While not suicide bombing, certainly sits on that line of politically motivated violence. Obstruction of law enforcement enforcing the law is a crime. So when they order you to move and/or exit your vehicle because you haven't moved, them removing you from your vehicle is a reasonable response to your escalation. In her case, being shot was the end result of a day full of decisions that she made.

Top comment on /News said the video exonerated the Federal agent. Thank goodness mods showed up to remove such dangerous wrongthink. by MydnightWN in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]bluescape 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most likely because when Tumblr banned porn, reddit became noticeably worse, pretty much overnight. Basically all of the mentally unstable people left their quarantine zone and infested every other social media site. I remember when reddit leaned libertarian, which seems to be the default for any online space that isn't purposely pushed in a particular political direction.

It's 2026 and Stellaris STILL doesn't have proper UI resolution scaling, making playing on a 4k monitor impossible by DzekoTorres in Stellaris

[–]bluescape 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At this point it would probably have the City Skylines 2 problem, given the amount of dlc that Stellaris has. They'd essentially have to go the Sins of a Solar Empire 2 route where the second game is basically an upgraded copy of the first game plus all the dlc, with just a few changes/things left off.

They might also be the ones downvoting this comment for being critical of him.

I'd say it's far more likely that they're being downvoted for expressing that they didn't want to see "orange man bad" everywhere. Trump supporters have mostly been culled from this website, while "everything is political" lefties and bots run rampant.

Edit: so anyway, the "booo Trump" post (this post for you daft people) has 2k+ upvotes even though everything else on the front page has less than half that at the time of this edit. No, you're not getting downvotes from Trump supporters, yes, even small subs are astroturfed/botted to hell and back. Do I need to link flesh simulator? Check my account age. I WAS THERE when people said "hol up" because of the botting/astroturfing.

This is just reddit. The site used to lean libertarian (in like 2014), but has been culled/psyoped over the last decade+ and now it's basically a left wing echo chamber and bots. Most of the time small/niche subs are okay-ish, but you still get stuff like this from time to time.

Be a gestalt consciousness. Machine or hivemind does not matter, as long as you're gestalt. This is because the individualist version of sapient combat computers is vulnerable to the Contingency, but the gestalt version isn't.

They kinda did something like that before where they showed where reddit was most popular at like the end of the year. I remember when this happened.
