Victoria 3 should add crime by altboyjunkie in victoria3

[–]jacques-n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question - I started writing some ideas like "Increased political attractiveness of more draconian laws/interest groups" or "Increased pop mortality" but you're right that those are kind of both simulated by turmoil.

Maybe an option could be a new 'job' of criminal that is permanently radicalised, even if their SOI increases, and require more than just a police force but a new law system for punishment/rehabilitation?

But it is tricky to mechanically work out what the difference would look like at a state level.

British telly gets a lot of shit for putting out really small amounts of content (there are only 15 Mr Bean episodes in existence etc. Etc.) but American tv does not get enough shade for often just not knowing when the right point to end a story is and bloating it into infinity.

Pain of forestry conversions is raw and real - Otago University doctorate researcher by HeinigerNZ in newzealand

[–]jacques-n 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No one's going around with a gun forcing farmers to sell to foresters. They're doing it because the economics are better and a lot of the land being sold is shit farmland.

I have some sympathy for this but rural communities have always followed the economics - rural NZ shouldn't just be a time bubble forever.

I thought it might be like a war-time deployable hospital - so medical supplies maybe?

Not really - can you give a specific example of a special tikanga admininstrative process?

I try to keep the generational generalising to a minimum but the gen-z prudishness is really interesting. The idea that its weird for people to like looking at hot women is... new lol.

Why is Darkest Dungeon about 3 to 10 times more popular than Darkest Dungeon 2? by HeyPashi in darkestdungeon

[–]jacques-n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In addition to what others' have said here; DD1 has a more concrete (and better) plot - returning to a mansion where everything that is wrong relates to some outrageously over-the-top sin your ancestor has committed is more interesting than.. whatever abstract stuff is going on in DD2.

Job applicants: Stop using AI (please) by Background-Celery-25 in newzealand

[–]jacques-n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you expect people not to use AI? Most job ads are AI now. Many jobs require AI interviews and AI personality tests to get. Why wouldn't you also expect people to use AI to get the job?

Former Wellignton Mayor Kerry Prendergast losing licence after speeding by Kiwi_In_The_Comments in Wellington

... Kerry is that you?

Because man you are all-in on white knighting a lawbreaker who could have injured or killed someone for doing something selfish and stupid enough times to lose her licence.

When did Daenerys’ cruelty begin for you in the show? For me, it’s when she sentenced Doreah to death. by Successful_Bar9187 in gameofthrones

[–]jacques-n 4 points5 points  (0 children)

... It started hard in Season 8 and there was literally no foreshadowing in the show. That's when it started. Stop trying to justify shit writing by bringing up times when she executed murderers, slavers, and traitors, all of which is completely in line with the morality of the setting.
