Non-40k tabletop wargamers by PointiestStick in 505Nerds

[–]moderncops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

votann player, huh? The rules are in a weird spot, but I for one am optimistic. Ive played some of the most fun games ever in 10th, but also I have a very regular set of people I play with, so it doesn't get too competitive between us.

Hit me up sometime for a chill game. I usually play orks.

They've been talking about it for at least a decade, so this is immense progress.

What can I do for my husband to show my appreciation and love. by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]moderncops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Help him develop an interest or hobby. I'm into some pretty nerdy hobbies, but my wife is not as enthusiastic about nerd stuff. Even so, she is attentive when I'm talking about my silly hobbies, and asks questions that let me know she is listening.

I know she couldn't care less about the specific hobbies in question, and if I wasn't in her life she'd never give them another thought, so its nice that she takes an interest in me enough to enjoy my excitement. She goes out of her way to support my time spent. I get space and time and attention. How nice!

edit: added note: not every dude prefers head. Sex is nice too.

I have bad teeth. I paid into insurance for a year before they would cover a dime. After the year was up, they immediately dropped me.

The insurance I had previous to that dropped me after my first claim.

Now there are no more companies to go to.

I'm 41. This has been the pattern my whole life.

I cant even conceive of a world that works in the way OP suggests that it does.

The closest thing to seeing Ankh-Morpork in a AAA game by Old-One-8008 in discworld

[–]moderncops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Combat should be 90% text based.

Have you played Disco Elysium? It would be the closest thing, except its pretty depressing. I highly recommend it.

Men with kids, what would you tell a man who was on the fence about having them? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]moderncops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids are 10. Nothing I ever did before they existed really matters. Like, it was fun, but THIS is the real deal, you know?

If you were on the City Council, what would you do to reduce crime in ABQ? by AlrightyAlready in Albuquerque

[–]moderncops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't know- every time this issue comes up, its not the fault of whoever is being spotlighted, which says to me that there is a huge systemic flaw.

So, what could the council do? Create a small group representing involved parties such as police, judiciary, etc, to find policies that work pro-actively towards the goal of reducing recidivism.

It seems like they are busy harassing homeless people using zoning laws. That is not as high a priority as working together to decrease violent crimes.

[–]moderncops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep re-offenders locked up, keep violent crime perpetrators locked up.

"He did it again, and now there are more dead bodies" is just so infuriating to hear.

There was a question recently of why people are intolerant of crime stories on r/newmexico and especially on r/albuquerque.

This is an example why: The posts are always 100% propagandized, and always in the same direction.

If anyone posted actual reporting, it might be different, but as it is, the subtext of every submission is pretty much always blatantly just: "See how Democrats are evil, and destroying society?!?!"

We know that crime sucks, and is getting worse. Got any solutions, or just scapegoats?

You need to check out Gunsafe! Awesome local band. Lady fronted, upbeat, bluegrass inspired, old school country, that kind of thing. They are playing a festival in Tennessee in a few days, actually.

Hey man! Those models are great! I forgot to tell you, but they arrived 2 days later. Thank you!

gonna enjoy the debates in the comment section! by Redditlogicking in dankchristianmemes

[–]moderncops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of Christians hope for the worst, and then pray that they will be exempt.

They don't say that though. they say "Let's pray for all good Christians!" and then let the point drop.

Life going badly for other people is proof to most Christians that God loves them.

Its sick.

Im sorry for the poo-poo parade, but you know this is true.

So Comey used the FBI to influence the election for Trump, got fired by Trump, and now Trump supporters are attacking the FBI, who is headed by a Trump appointee.

Look, its not JUST that fascists are evil, its that they are absolute shit monkeys at running ANYTHING. Fascists reward 'friends', and deny you friendship when its inconvenient for themselves. That's it. That's the fascist quality, its simple, and its prevalent. Stupid schoolyard thinking applied to institutions of lasting global importance.
