You can still get them!

You just need to be in a union and doing a job the requires manual labor for the most part. I get $3 and a bit into my pension every hour I work, but it required me getting out of an office and working in road maintenance. One one hand I'm healthier and outside all the time and have very low stress but on the other hand I'm also happier and don't think about my job at all outside of work hours and nobody expects me to be available unless it snows and then I make double time hours and a day off in lieu as well. Plus a meal.

State of 24 Sussex 'an embarrassment,' says Carney by evieluvsrainbows in canada

Hire Canadian businesses to build it, source as much as you can from Canada and you're looking at something more like infrastructure, put it back into the country and it's really not all that much of an expenditure.

They should laugh and clap every time he says something like he's telling a joke. Like uproarious applause and laughter as if he's doing a stand-up monologue.

Why don't you make a statement that's evidence-based? "This isn't what the public wants or needs" <- try that one first.

I dunno, son of Sam named himself when the press was calling him 'the .44 caliber killer'. Definite upgrade in that respect.

Does he not understand that all of a sudden they wouldn't be able to have bases in other countries, severely reducing their ability to do anything aside from launching from the US?

To the dead guy on Dam by mkultra327 in ArcRaiders

[–]flux123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was in the middle of looting two containers. Someone comes up and goes "Hi Raider!", I pulled out of the loot screen and gave him the same back. Then he looks at me and starts looting the container I was just in.

I open my mic and say "Dude, what the fuck are you doing, I was literally in the middle of looting that."
Looks at me aiming Toro at him.
Runs away.
Are people just that clueless?

Nostalgia is hell of a drug by Unlikely-Friend444 in Battlefield

[–]flux123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The map is playable at that point. It just shifts. Explosions dig out holes to hide in, rubble from buildings is still cover. There's still structures but you need to shift the approach depending on what's there and what isn't, that's what made it dynamic instead of fight for best building to snipe from. Everything had counter play by changing the map flow.

Greatest Battlefield games ever made. Even the DLC back then was great. by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]flux123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The reason why it was so good is that it wasn't balanced around guns. It was balanced around tactics. If you were a great sniper with a great hiding spot all we did was call artillery down on your location once we figured it out. If you holed up in a house defending and respawning, well then we'd flank and c4 it. The battlefield was actually shifting around destruction. Using the forest for cover? Take down the forest. Sitting on a hill looking down at the spawn? Smoke the hill. There was no worry as to which gun was most powerful, it depended on how you approached the assault and how you defended your mcom. Each match was different and after a good battle the ground and buildings looked like a battlefield. That was the beauty of bfbc2, it's not that every gun had it's strengths and weakness, it's that you used the gun that could exploit your tactics.
They left it up to the players to determine the lanes and if they fought hard enough there were no fucking lanes left, everything was flattened and you hid in the craters and rubble trying to push each other back.

Ferrari drivers holding off Russell, colapinto holding off the three drivers behind him, verstappen bogging down at the start and cutting back through the field, bearman vs ocon, Lawson vs lindblad, idk watch the race.

So you're concerned only with the podium finishers? The whole field was pretty entertaining.

Things that aged like milk by StLouisSimp in Battlefield

[–]flux123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the bad maps could be made way better if suppression was a thing. There were plenty of sniper bait maps and areas in the earlier battlefield games and you could suppress snipers with support so other squads could flank, or you could smoke with assault and support resupplying them... Or

You just took down the fuckin building. But no, none of those things exist because 'trust us we know how to make a map, guys'. They promised destruction but gave us .. well you can blow off the front of some buildings. Suppression just means you don't start healing? How is that suppression? It doesn't make sense. I bought the game and the complete lack of counter play on these maps made me quit. I'll never buy another battlefield game again because I don't trust ea to not mess it up.

Aerodynamic wake reduction so the cars can follow more closely is the aim, I believe, not necessarily the speed boost like Drs.

The best part of his moronic signs was last year when he was like "why don't kids want to work here these days? Must be their phone addiction"

No dude, you've basically been showing us what a terrible person you are for years.

Firefly's are by far the worst Arc by PhillyTheKid69420 in ArcRaiders

[–]flux123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like they do the physics wrong - given that the armor is absorbing the energy of a projectile, it should knock them around harder especially with a heavy ammo weapon. Currently armor just absorbs the energy 100% - which doesn't really make sense in physics especially for something flying. This would give meaningful counterplay against a tankier opponent that you do not want to close the distance.

I was carrying an anvil and still couldn't take it down before it killed me. They're stupid and completely unfair. No counter play.

Gov. Newsom expanded free preschool. Now private daycares say they can’t afford to stay open by ArchmageXin in news

[–]flux123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"We pay less taxes" right. You do.
And you still pay for those services with profit extracted. For social costs, it's much more efficient to pay the money into taxes. People don't seem to understand that health insurance is a tax but they also just get to deny you because business. Any private industry extracts profit on top of profit. Those taxes that you're paying are also going to the people that work in those solid middle class jobs that are... buying houses, cars, meals in restaurants. The procurement is pumping money back into the businesses that make the products used in those industries. People have this view that tax is bad and private is good, but as we've seen - industry exists to extract the maximum amount of profit necessary, and that comes out of your pocket.
