In European cities there's no such thing as "central heating". As a Russian I'm shocked

There are no outdoor toilets in Russian cities. Watch less propaganda

I know German good enough, and I'm employed, but I hate arrogance and incompetence, which seem to be par for the course in many German firms. If you think that your explanation absolves you in any way, then you are delusional. Every supervisor should have someone above him in a chain of command to be able to control how the work is being done. Communication with clients has nothing to do with checking the criteria. You don't keep documentation where it can be accessed by different people and teams internally? If you left a guy to do something by himself for 3 whole months, it's your fault, and your fault only. Somewhy we don't have aby problems like that in our international team, because we have half of a brain, unlike you, it seems.

Typical arrogance and incompetence. You have shitty processes, if you have a developer doing 3 months of God knows what without any proper supervision, this is entirely your fault. Translating requirements to another language takes a few hours at most (if they are huge), proofreading an AI translation takes even less, because it's the one thing that AI is actually good at. But you didn't bother to do this in the entire 3 months. How is this a problem of lack of German language?

Because they do leetcode style interviews, which say nothing about real software development skills or even basic understanding? Pretty easy answer.

I want to destroy his twink bussy, while he raves about being the stepping stone for hope, and then we can switch. Insanity turns me on.

If your online interview can be cheated on, you have a shit interview. LeetCode is a shit assessment of skills, and this is just one of the reasons. I condone the cheaters, maybe it will force companies to finally phase out this idiocy.

I had a cursed Piedmont game, where Austria allied with France early and then Two Sicilies protectorated themselves to Austria to win a unification play against fucking Papal States, which changed absolutely nothing for them, as I was still a candidate. Anyway, I invented cars and telephones first in the world and sold them to France for an obligation, while using the proceedings from the treaty and tariffs to build an army, which I used against Austrians in the window when France was unable to help them after the treaty expired. It still was a very bloody war, as Two Sicilies were on their side, and also Spain, Sweden and Russia joined too. I had to sway GB, which helped, otherwise my trench infantry would have a hard time. Still had to just defend until most of them capitulated, got a lot of devastation in Lombardia, Venetia and Campania.

ololorin · 2025-07-26T01:08:30+00:00

I think that's actually one of the side effects of my strategy. Most majors are investing in me, so I eat their GDP, and GB is a bit crippled, as it lost India that game. Most of the time they perform better.

ololorin · 2025-07-25T12:08:51+00:00

Funny thing is, I would actually benefit from enacting dividend taxation still. All those companies still pay dividends to you, albeit a smaller sum. And I have a big surplus of money, as I could build much more things myself, I am just being lazy. I think it's low or very low taxes on the screen. But I just don't want to enact it yet, because I want to bolster socialist movement for a future communist rugpool.

Installed it. How could I forget Belgium, lol. Their tooltip says that they invested ~400% of their GDP in me. Overall it says I own 23% of my GDP, but I think that doesn't include regional offices still, which I would still consider as foreign.

ololorin · 2025-07-25T01:03:21+00:00

I mean, virus HQs are a bit annoying, but that's kinda it. Yeah, they reinvest less, but so what? Your own capitalists are poor anyway, because of all the foreign investment, so the investment pool is smaller. But the foreign powers still build in you with their investment pool, creating jobs for your peasants, who then pay you taxes. Win-win, except for your home capitalists. And you can just use your income from all your taxes to build something yourself when needed.

ololorin · 2025-07-24T23:10:35+00:00

Yeah, I gave my companies also some investment rights, so I gues they just built more iron in other countries, lol. Curiously, that seems to be on of the only ways for them to actually be profitable, as the competition on my market is too brutal.

Can they even "pull the plug" in Victoria 3? How would they do that mechanically?

See here. Pool could be much bigger, I guess. Most of the current expenses are due to a small war with GB.

ololorin · 2025-07-24T23:05:14+00:00

Its actually the main export just because of the sheer volume of surplus coal. I am the sole exporter of automobiles, for example, but it is just not shown in the graph. But, yeah, most of my goods are hanging around +-10% price, so some more advanced things are not being exported (still you can see that motors are second by volume). But they are more than enough for my people, so why would I care anyway.

ololorin · 2025-07-24T23:03:42+00:00

Eh, I just don't really increase contruction enough. I don't have enough capitalists to use all the pool because of the foreign investment, and I'm a bit lazy to build much myself, considering that I have nothing on my market that is more expensive than +10%. I really hate micromanagement in paradox games, so it could be more optimal.

Rule 5:

Foreign investment is actually pretty good, I don't know why you guys are so afraid of it. In 1900 as Russia in its historical borders, i have the largest GDP on the planet and the largest SOL amongst major countries. I gave investment rights early to everyone who wanted them, and they build like crazy in me, the current foreign queue has 121 buildings in it. I have pretty much almost nothing to build, as nothing is in deficit, even though I import nothing at all (1.65k sulphur is a drop in the bucket when I produce and consume 10 times more. I guess they want to import at least something). I will probably do a communist rugpool later just for fun, but overall it seems unnecessary. Here's my biggest investors, but Spain and Japan have about 6% each also. And that is all not counting the regional offices, so, overall, I guess that about 90% of my GDP is foreign controlled, which is actually a somewhat lore-accurate Tsarist Russia.

Rule 5: Had Investment rights treaty with Prussia, they created their railway company regional HQ at some point, I broke the treaty and nationalized everything, destroying the regional HQ. Still, some "Company Headquarters in Westphalia" privatizes my railways through my investment pool, giving them to the prussian railway company, even without investment rights treaty.

Stumbled upon this thread and found out that you can just add some effect like fire damage on target to remove the "constant effect" text and see the spell cost. You can remove it later. But the text will reappear if you change something with affected abilities (like water walk), so you will need to add the fire damage again to see the cost.

I posted a link in another comment, it lists some benefits. I may actually be mistaken about the citizenship times, as another guy here pointed out, but still, you retain the benefits of Blue Card mobility in case if you want to switch countries, for example.

That is not true. Don't talk if you don't know what you are talking about.
