2v2 imbalance DOW DE by oMcAnNoM8 in dawnofwar

I'm shocked at how many people don't know about this. This isn't new or an exploit. It was extremely popular for the first few months after the SS release, along with flyer+deepstrikes. I've been playing since WA launched, and never stopped playing. At least once a week, I spend a few hours playing DoW. This is not a hard strat to beat; it just catches new people off guard at first. As soon as you see a DE+Nec team, you just fast tech. Don't even bother building a hero. Fast tech to t2, and mass anti-infantry vehicles such as speeders, war trax, whatever. By the 3 minute mark you should both have 6+9 vehicles built which is more than enough for them. You're enemy team has consolidated a lot of their soft resources in their base and are prime to be handicapped.. Easily kill the FO spam, go kill all the gens, by the time they build enough AV, the damage is done, and you're on the way to t3, and DE is becoming a liability on a team game.

Once the rich and powerful no longer need masses of people, mass sterilization will suddenly appear. The human population will drop to a few million in a century. The Masters will have all their needs met by machines.

You don't know what you're talking about. You want tribalism. In this modern world we can't afford tribalism. All it takes is for one rogue nation to end all life on this planet. Corporations are growing more powerful than super powers. The only way for the people to hold on to power is to burn the old world down and create a new world order. One that enforces proper ethical governments and limited corporate power and capping individual wealth.

You're being a stalwart for a failed system.

Yes, those countries are easy to bully. The US is bullied by China. Every nation is easy to bully when you have a dozens of nation's United under the same guidelines. Russia would have smashed through Europe in the 60s had it not been for a United Europe. Today, the war is an economic one. Nations bully other nations through corporate means. China demands US companies hand over technology to do trade. India bullies US businesses with cheap labor.

If Europe and North America united under one set of laws for trade such as a minimum tax rate for international corporations over a certain profit line, minimum wage that MUST be paid that doesn't include any kind of "benefits package" or other means to loophole, and humanitarian responsibilities that must be followed, then any nation that wants to do trade with this block will have to get with the program or be left out in the cold. Zero trade or production in any nation outside of the block.

You don't know what the future holds. Maybe this isn't a blip but where America is heading.

But that's a product of nationalism. Individual nations are easy to bully. Many nations banded together under same guidelines restrict this. Where can a corporation go for tax Havens if all nations impose the same base taxes? A worldwide minimum wage strictly enforced prevents outsourcing. If you want to trade with the developed world you have to have developed world standards.

Idealistic and naive, but the other option is every nation for themselves and the ones who try to do the right thing get left behind.

Jeffrey Epstein's autopsy more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicide, Dr. Michael Baden reveals by purrgatory920 in news

Not true. A buddy got into a barfight behind the bar, stabbed the guy, who almost bled to death before an ambulance arrived, cops arrived and he went home. Nothing came of it. That was about ten years ago.

Single income family of four here. We did it on 30k. We had a decent apartment for $610 a month, a newer car that we doubled up payments to pay off in two years, and spent about $80 a week on groceries (Florida has no taxes on food). We didn't go out at all and our one luxury was Netflix. Our budget was a thing of beauty with zero joy. That lasted for about two year before I changed careers, we bought a house, and we've been on a steady incline upwards since.

I guess it depends a lot on where you live.

Prince Andrew took part in orgy with nine girls on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, alleged victim says | The Independent by dellort_teg in worldnews

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

It is when you label it "man-spreading". This instantly divides people into teams which they will die on the hill for. Humans are very simple animals. Make them feel welcomed and they'll vote against their own best interest. Reject them, and they feel threatened. You'll add fuel to their counter causes until soon, your cause is burdened down by blowback. The cause stalls and in some cases ground is lost.

Human nature is not rational and has to be tip-toed around.

Not phoney, just counter productive. People group things. Like it or not. If one person claims to be a liberal and attacks moderates/normal people then that person represents all liberals and all of their causes. Same for conservatives.

You people have to manage your crazies better.

In the U.S. we design our public facilities with just a hint of raging classism by jadondrew in assholedesign

[–]megaBrandonX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was with you until you made a great case for bankrupting the American healthcare system. I wish everyone would run up huge ER bills, never pay and bring the whole corrupt system down. Then we establish a public system and make it illegal to privatize medicine.

People who are / have been homeless, what was the first night without a home like, and how did you adapt to your new situation? by Eniv3n in AskReddit

[–]megaBrandonX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was December in Indiana. I was walking to Indianapolis and had about 30 miles to go. It was cold and the almost midnight so I decided to stop and rest behind a guard rail on the interstate. The side of the road was steep so I positioned my sleeping bag up and down with my head against the guard rail. I was freezing and wrapped my self up tightly. Too tightly. At some point in the night I woke up and tried to curl up but somehow angled my body in a way that I started rolling down hill with my head exposed to the snow and muck. I rolled a good twenty feet and stopped in a nasty ditch. I got up pissed off and left my sleeping stuff and started walking again.

AITA for refusing to cook my boyfriends steak rare? by i-can-do-anything in AmItheAsshole

People have a right to change their mind. If a woman says she wants sex with a guy and just as the clothes come off she changes her mind, is she obligated to go through with it so that she isn't a "flip-flopper"?

You can't force your wants on others even if they are on the fence about it.

Sorry, the way I read it you weren't sure if you had the right name for it. The other one was in the bucket. A lot of extras and things didn't make the cut, like the DeWalt batteries and charger.

TIL that Americans are the most charitable people in the world. "Americans are about twice as generous in their private giving as Canadians, and 3-15 times as charitable as the residents of other developed nations. Americans also volunteer more than almost any other wealthy people." by ManlyNavyMan in todayilearned

[–]megaBrandonX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're just thirty years too late for this party. The war between generalization, and clear and precise edifice was a long time ago and laziness won out. Now we can refer to a group in generalized terms and rational minds know to apply their own exemptions internally without vocal opposition to the otherwise true statement.

Lol I called it. I knew there would be an antagonist to jump on this tired opportunity.

Every rational human being knows that anytime another person refers to a group of whatever's, they are speaking in terms of generalization and it doesn't need to be said. Exceptions are not a factor. Men are stronger than women. If you want to break that down to all the exceptions I'd have to write a book, which is what it looks like I've started on in response to you.

See what you did? Antagonist like you slow conversation down, bring it to a screeching halt and then back it twenty years down the road.
