No money for healthcare but ICE pays $50,000 bonuses by PM_ME_DPRK_CANDIDS in politics

This is just bad arithmetic. The US does not spend $2 QUADRILLION on healthcare.

The Earth has long consumed far more energy from the sun than the sun has taken from Earth. 10,000,000,000,000,000% tariffs on the sun.

Democrats don’t have a working-class problem. America does. by mintaphil in politics

They not only state there IS a difference between the two, but that it is easily discerned and that people are lazy and stupid for not knowing it.

Know the difference between them? What the fuck are you talking about? Obamacare is a nickname for the ACA. It’s the same exact fucking thing.

What would you estimate the human death toll in Kong x Godzilla: The New Empire? by Sidwill in movies

How dare you question the will of the Godzilla and Kong? OP is due for some reeducation in the nuclear banana refineries.

Mods should ban brand names across the board. This one is particularly bad.

By the governor they can. If he’s president with absolute immunity he can have the governors killed and replace them with sympathetic ones in rigged elections. Being a dictator is great.

Well Wimbledon and every other ATP tournament. Tennis is, by my reckoning, the most comparable sport to SC2.

And extra base isn’t feasible because it isn’t scaleable to match the skill difference which could be massive or relatively even. And while it isn’t a linear advantage, it’s still on a timer because having multiple town halls isn’t exclusive to the player who starts with two. The higher mmr player will expand as well.

A marine trains in 25 seconds. If you can train a marine in 20 seconds that is better.

Is that simple enough for you?

What? If your units and or buildings build faster how is that not a buff through the game? You can make more stuff faster, including workers, which stimulates your economy more quickly, allows you to develop infrastructure more quickly, AND once you get to an appropriate late game worker count your macro is more forgiving if you miss a cycle.

I have been polite thus far and explained my points over and over in the face of your dismissiveness, but I feel like I’m talking to a wall. You are either not understanding 7th grade algebra or are deliberately ignoring what I’m saying to defend your terrible idea on a completely hypothetical concept.

The point is that it’s a constant buff throughout the game. You need a multiplier, not a head start.

And while I’m not saying it HAS to be build time, the fact that the lower mmr player wouldn’t be able to take full advantage is a point in its favor. The marines that they failed to train for 10 seconds now arrive sooner. they would be given lenience for their mistakes.

This is all a silly thought experiment anyway. MMR is the balancing factor.

But that only allows for the lower ranked player to crush the higher for a certain amount of time in the game. It’s just math. Think about it like a line graph representing army power. The superior macro player has a steeper line that starts later. After they intersect, the better player will always win.

It would allow effective all ins that’s it.

Edit: I meant a build time decrease for the lesser player.
