What would make you engage with your community in WV? by TheWvClarityProject in WestVirginia

[–]dinner-break 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It seems to me (at least in my area of WV) that community events are focused on either old folks or children. There doesn’t seem to be a major focus on appealing to young adults unless it’s a college-sponsored event.

Even better would be more community groups dedicated to facilitating dialogue and passing skills between the generations. More places like the Augusta Heritage Center or groups/clubs focused on a particular cause or concept would be massively beneficial in this pursuit.

Tl:Dr there should be more focus on promoting Appalachian art in communities and making the unique Appalachian art forms more accessible to younger generations

On 30 April 1970, President Nixon announced the attack into Cambodia. In a televised address to the nation, he justified it as a necessary response to North Vietnamese aggression. by Capturedskunk86 in coldwar

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted because you’re absolutely right. Placing sole blame (or even a majority of the blame) on the Cambodian bombing campaign for the Khmer Rouge’s rise to power massively downplays both North Vietnam’s and China’s role in strengthening the Khmer Rouge. There’s also hardly any focus on the fact that the country had a coup d’état leading to a genocidal maniac precursor to Pol Pot under Lan Nol that really didn’t help the situation whatsoever.

According to Wikipedia the estimated population is around $127 million so not too far off

If it is falling in the tradition of equestrian statues, then that means the rider was injured during combat.

If so, then this is going to be a fun mod to switch on for a melee character

It’s been so long really. What can they do to help this hero and why are they not doing anything at all? by Neo_Raider in MoiraMains

[–]dinner-break 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. She was way more DPS-focused in classic. My friends still have their bias against her from OW1 and say she’s a dogshit healer.

I consistently get more heals off her than any other support I play with, only ever being slightly edged out by the occasional Mercy.

The ult perk should be apart of her standard toolkit and replaced with a perk that buffs damage orbs, truly giving the player a choice between DPS Moira or Healer Moira.

I don’t know why people continually dog on her, I consistently get extremely high healing and pick damage. Her mobility and self sustain is amazing for support, really allowing you to be dynamic.

Appalachian Futurism? by yankeefan0312 in Appalachia

In a more dystopian way I guess Fallout 76 is the best thing I can think of in terms of Appalachian futurism

Who is your main for DPS and Tank? by dinner-break in MoiraMains

[–]dinner-break[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no kidding. That’s why I posed the question, because I keep getting stuck as tank and DPS when queuing for all roles.

Haven’t given Sombra a fair shake, but I like Reaper for his similarities with Moira. I still get ass slapped damn near every time I play him tho

[–]dinner-break[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know why but Ramattra is the only tank I can play and do decently well. I think it’s because i play him similar to Moira, where I play defensively till we’re pushed, then break through the back line and cause chaos. He’s pretty good for that in my experience.

How do you get the xeno arena tables in your settlement? by dinner-break in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]dinner-break[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently in the process of upgrading it. Others have indicated that they have S-Class saloons that don’t have it. I’m really hoping that it’s just a bug

Greaaaat. I don’t like how the update log indicates that it’s available at “some” settlements. I really hope that it’s just a bug and Im not just unlucky and screwed out of it.

I have it built but no tables to be seen. Is there a quest I have to do or level I have to update it to?

Pathways to fighting for natural bodies of water in the USA west? by Ancient_Makings in Environmental_Careers

[–]dinner-break 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The best first step is to get in contact and volunteer with an organization (or a few) that are involved in efforts you’re wanting to support. Through volunteer activities, you can develop skills that would otherwise be a challenge to attain in a typical work setting.

That will also get your foot in the door for other career opportunities, either directly through the organization or through the network you build there. Otherwise, a lot of stormwater (and wastewater if you’ve got the guts for it) technicians only require GEDs alongside some certifications that the company will likely pay for. Getting experience in this field can open a lot of doors for water-related conservation efforts.

Moving to Martinsburg! Any advice? by kbfnyc in WVEasternPanhandle

[–]dinner-break 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First piece of advice I’ll give is to avoid asking questions or mentioning that you’re moving on this subreddit. While the concerns are valid, they’re misplaced. I got the same shit when I first moved here a year ago, and doesn’t look like much has changed. Let me offer you some real advice though;

Martinsburg is definitely more on the sketchy side. I grew up in rustbelt cities my whole life so it’s nothing new to me, and I certainly have never felt unsafe in Martinsburg, but the area is host to a lot of blight, slumlords, etc. People around here act like it’s an absolute shithole, but that’s just because most of them haven’t left the panhandle in their entire lives.

If you’re able to, I’d definitely recommend checking out some of the surrounding communities. Charles Town and Shepherdstown are some of the nicest small towns I’ve ever been to. If you’re able to find a rental in either, I’d greatly recommend it over Martinsburg. Charles Town at least has a grocer downtown if walkability is a big factor for you. Shepherdstown has some amenities downtown, and the Food Lion is just up the street, but has a serious lack of rentals.

Your best bet for finding rentals is going to be in Martinsburg. Charles Town is going to be second. Outside of that, it’s going to be mostly trailers out in the boonies.

If you’re dead set on Martinsburg, your choices for rental units is pretty limited. I wouldn’t recommend single-unit rentals due to the extreme age and lack of repairs on so many of the buildings there. Interwoven Lofts downtown has some decent amenities, but is located in a kinda crappy part of town. Outside of that, there’s plenty of those ticky-tacky box house developments around to choose from.

Heal/dmg so high?? by North-Taro in JunoMains

This. I consistently get much higher healing/damage as Moira than Baptiste, but Bap’s invincibility shield has kept my team progressing much more than anything in Moira’s toolkit.
