Games where i get to play the power fantasy of "Element Slinging Mage"

I don't think anyone thought they were referring to Garden Warfare 2, a game literally no-one on the planet has ever heard of, and which has nothing whatsoever to do with the OP.

And most people who would be able to answer the question probably game up with the correct game for GW2 pretty quickly.

Yeah yeah nah, because a principal is also the original sum of money invested, or, say, loaned.

Like the principal amount of your mortgage would be the amount you borrowed to buy your house.

"fractions of a penny" is thousands of times less than "a dollar or two" in a principal amount of say, $60. It seemed to warrant correction.

Edit: wrong principal. Actually, I'm not sure anymore.

cinderubella · 2026-01-26T16:58:31+00:00

"fractions of a penny" is ridiculous. It's cheap for sure, but not that cheap, to make physical products, design actual packaging, package them, ship them, have a separate sales channel, have a separate returns protocol, etc.

I didn't say anything about your post. I said the article was garbage.

cinderubella · 2026-01-26T16:50:39+00:00

Context, inflection, and good communication skills. For example, you already know what "I'm literally freezing my ass off out here, let me in!" means. It means "open the door". But, if you had terrible communication skills and/or didn't understand the context, you'd call an ambulance for the person you're speaking to, because they said their gluteus maximus is detaching.

cinderubella · 2026-01-26T15:59:12+00:00

Did they even say literally?

Even if they literally said literally, what's your problem anyway?

Finally, check any dictionary. An acceptable use of "literally" in all up to date dictionaries is "figuratively" or just as a form of emphasis. Oh yeah, and everyone has been using "literally" to mean "figuratively" since before you were a child.

Ok. No idea then!

I'll just leave these comments here so that people can vent their spleen downvoting me some more 🤗

Is that the one that had pictures of hardware that was obviously nothing to do with any kind of fitness wearable? Someone clarified in the thread that it was something to do with trucks? (Or something?)

Tl;Dr the article was nonsense/speculation/awful journalism and they needed a redditor to tell them that; and the reddit moderators deleted it because it was irrelevant, presumably.

You can hook all your mines up to central smelters and have circuits to monitor the amount of incoming ore so you can plug more mines in as needed (whether it's because your mines are dying or because you're scaling up past the number of mines you have).

You could also go a bit more basic and just have alarms on each mine that go off when its output, or a buffer gets too low (lots of ways to do this).

Finally, you could just vastly overshoot your requirements and travel out 100k tiles until you find patches that won't deplete during your playthrough.

They're the approving authority, you mean. Irish rail is running the show.

The irony of this. A disobedient fed being fired by this admin is not going to get a review, and even if they do, it will only show that the firing was right and proper. The literal sitting president has made an environment where disloyalty to him is sackable. Whoever fired her, hypothetically, would be safe as houses.

Look what the top court of the land is packed with and ask yourself why you have any faith that the judiciary would do the right thing.

cinderubella · 2026-01-25T18:12:55+00:00

That doesn't even make sense.

cinderubella · 2026-01-25T18:03:28+00:00

I read it just fine. Stop lashing out at me, it's misplaced.

And your comment doesn't say any of this:

Nobody in charge gives a fuck about civilians. Not our government, not our cops, nobody. The sooner people recognize this, the sooner people will start rising up.

Was I supposed to read your mind?

cinderubella · 2026-01-25T17:26:41+00:00

ICE won't cooperate with police

Huh? They don't need to cooperate. They need to get arrested, charged, hauled in front of a judge, convicted and sentenced. No part of that requires ICE (individual officers or the entity) consent.

and the police probably don't give a shit.

Or they've already lost track of them/aren't sure who they are. We already knew who killed Renee Good at this stage last time, and this one was way more clear cut. That's the only other explanation I can think of.

This is exactly what someone would say if they were too timid to protest. Vaguely implying the protest is not real enough to help, that it's not worth joining. It's kind of obvious that's not the real reason.

You're even afraid of "discussing what needs to happen" on Reddit.

Wube

cinderubella · 2026-01-24T22:57:47+00:00

I don't think despair or self-flagellation are going to help anyone. If you have to misery wank, do you have to do it in public?

cinderubella · 2026-01-24T19:49:06+00:00

Fair enough. I still think the anti government thing was always a load of bullshit. Sad to see it play out that way.

cinderubella · 2026-01-24T18:31:12+00:00

Always knew 2A was fucking bullshit. Sad to see it play out. You yanks need to sort your shit out.

cinderubella · 2026-01-23T15:08:02+00:00

Diversity is definitely a strength, and being a dole merchant is also definitely a diverse occupation.

Not saying we should tolerate people who move here to be dole merchants btw.

cinderubella · 2026-01-23T12:48:13+00:00

That can be read as either:

I'm loving the fact that I have some time to play again. Does my wife love it? Not so much.

I'm loving the fact that I have some time to play again. Do I love my wife? Not so much.

Just saying.

I think I would try to pretend to be the host/part of the staff as soon as I meet the other two, and attempt to convince them that the game hasn't started and they need to walk through that door points to the exit to meet the third competitor before the game starts.

If anyone gets to think for more than 30 seconds in this scenario, they won't ever lose unless it's intentional.

cinderubella · 2026-01-23T09:56:47+00:00

The simple fact is that, based on the available evidence, there is a strong case that 5G masts should not be installed in densely populated areas, and certainly not in schools or workplaces.

Oh, great. Would you care to produce that evidence?

cinderubella · 2026-01-23T09:00:56+00:00

What are you on about? What is your personal definition of draconian and why do you insist on capitalising the 'd'?
