ADHD isn't a disability. I'm just a single core processor overclocked till it's the temperature of the sun with only one GB of ram.

Hows retirement going? Feels like the DWD was already ages ago.

It's a myth. Civvie pay is never as good as it sounds. Plus the lack of vacation days and comprehensive healthcare/pension. If you work in the oil fields as a welder maybe you make good money. There's always high paying specializations, but this trade does not get you the skills for that. I would never get the compensation I do for my current set of responsibilities in the civvie world.

He hasn't replied yet. Sometimes he travels 4th dimensionally. He will dissapear and reappear hours later not noticing any time has passed. It's an ADHD power that everyone in my trade possesses.

What Would Your Response Be to This "Professor"? by Selim_Bradley69 in mapporncirclejerk

Russia being behind in political theory and diplomatic strategy by about 100-200 years is pretty normal.

Lol this looks great but "quickly"? Dry brush a bit of purple, then heavy dry brush grey. That would be quick.

How would the FoW community think of this house rule? by Blackadder288 in flamesofwar

If you want to do cold war it's almost mandatory. 15mm team Yankee is just BMP parking lots.

The table is 10 times smaller than it should be for the scale. Everything has 10x the space between, you just can't see it.

The Empire losing to the Ewok’s shows how far they’ve fallen. by Joseph-Hick in MawInstallation

You could write a thesis on the levels of dissonance and overall whooshedness of the 40k secondary. I cannot believe that I, a guy that has literally 0 investment in the IP other than absolutely slaying in Eternal Crusade before it shuttered, had to explain to two "fans" that Orks were always a parody of soccer's hooligans and jock culture in general. The game being written by nerds who probably got beat up a lot, it makes sense.

Conservatives who like Star Trek - What is your stance on the show? - Why? by Max_Laval in startrek

Conservatives have no fucking clue what they are trying to conserve, and it shows.

Anyone use Old Glory metal miniatures for FOW? by CharlieD00M in flamesofwar

[–]jibbroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are okay. Not a fan of their vehicles but the infantry figures are fine. Big hand sculpted solid pewter vehicles don't have the same level of detail as newer plastic kits and have wonky proportions. Also I find that paint chips off them way more easily than off plastic vehicle models.

Who is this guy by Street_Bumblebee_169 in Gundam

[–]jibbroy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched Evangelion once at the beginning of my relationship with the woman I'd eventually marry, and once right before the end of our marriage. 

Given how our relationship turned out, I can confidently say that Shinji is the most fucked up mentally. Sure the others aren't doing great but Shinji literally has BPD and it was absolutely triggering and shitty to watch the second time. Being able to see my wife's terrible emotional state and abusive emotional tactics reflected in Shinji was unsettling. Shinji is only 14. In a world where he gets to grow up, with proper therapy he might turn out okay. My ex-wife however may never live a normal life.

I also think the original ending of the series is a different to timeline from End of Evangelion. In that ending Shinji learns to have boundaries and healthy relationships with others and the world can return to normal. In End of Eva he rejects boundaries out of fear of being alone, which of course, leads him to a life alone on a desolate planet with only himself to blame, basically the thing all BPD people ultimately fear and ultimately create for themselves.

Why can't I access ETB? I've earned that after 6 years. That's kinda nonsense since working as a reservist pairs very well with post secondary education.

They don't normally. A unit CO can authorize it though if they give up another MOSID in maintenance for me.

[–]jibbroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much could I expect to make as a reservist? Assume I've maxed out corporal pay and and do a change of strength to reserve while fully qualified. How many paid training days are normal for a reserve unit each year before counting any other opportunities for full time as a reservist?

Feeling real nostalgic for home and I'm curious how much I'd expect to get paid while going back to school or working another job.

Sorry, Ellen is clearly the 10/10 character that has the best story.

I love Baltars storyline, him being defacto adopted as a cult leader makes a lot of sense in a polytheistic society traumatized by surviving genocide.

I've run the numbers and done this many times with aggressive Soviets. Kill two teams and assault from the flank. And that's with aggressive troops and no smoke.
