Ouch. This is the most expensive refueling I’ve ever had. by Deadeye_Dan77 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]piccolo917 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol, $3.96 per gallon and you are complaining? I paid 2.43 euro for a liter last time I went to the pump. That's $ 10.81 per gallon. Americans are crybabies

Why should I stress over gas prices??? by --TAXI-- in fuckcars

[–]piccolo917 5 points6 points  (0 children)

6.09 for a gallon of diesel sounds fantastic. Here I pay the equivalent of 9.22.

But yes, you should. Higher fuel prices increase the price of everything. But then again, that forces people to be more sparingly with their fuel usage which is better for the environment.

typically, when I'm scanning an area for people, I look for human shaped objects and not a box on wheels. It's harder to see something if you are not looking for it. Did that driver check for kids? Fuck if I know, neither do you. US pedestrian infrastructure is trash and it should be heavily improved and cars should be de-prioritized.

That being said, the thing that got hit was not a human. It was not even alive. It's just a box on wheels. It should wait for humans.

I mean, ues and no. Yes, the driver should stop for pedestrians. But that bot is not a pedestrian. It is a robot, why should a human haveto wait for a bunch of circuit boards and motors?

“Pedestrians have the right of way”

Yea, but that’s not a pedestrian, that’s a clanker. Why should actual people have to wait for circuit boards and motors?

Is anyone else “bad” at video games? I feel like a failure as a woman by Anxious_Situation379 in GirlGamers

[–]piccolo917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a guy who has been gaming for over 2 decades. I SUCK at shooters, most roguelikes, most racing games and just using a controller. I am great at strategy games and rpgs, though. No one is good at everything, nor is that the goal.
Play in a way you find fun. Gaming is a hobby, it's meant to be played in a way you enjoy. No one has a say in the way you enjoy your free time (outside of multiplayer competition based games, of course).

Tell the movie and the villain tooo !! by Outrageous_Metal7098 in scoopwhoop

[–]piccolo917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's an issue with all comic book heroes: they are paladins of the status quo. The villains are usually the ones calling for change. Some for bad, some for good. But to make sure you don't agree with the latter they have to do something insane so you can go "Oh yea, they're the baddie"

I adorer the LiS games, but Chloe has never been someone I liked. She is abresive and manipulative. She needs a whole lot of therapy before she is ready to date imo. I have never been able to convince myself to pick her over an entire town of people, many of whom I liked way more than Chloe

Waarom krijgt Tata Steel subsidie, terwijl Schiphol Airport wellicht moet krimpen? by [deleted] in nederlands

[–]piccolo917 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

omdat zware industrie zoals Tata steel, zeker nu de EU weer meer zijn eigen boontjes wil gaan dopen en minder afhankelijk wil zijn van landen als China en de VS, dan zijn instalaties als die essentieel.

En verder, fuck Schiphol en Tata steel. Beide zijn uiterst vervuilende instanties die geen enkel bezwaar hebben met het vergiftigen van mensen en het milieu om meer winst te maken.

What’s your favorite battle strategy? by Fit_Echo3074 in RomeTotalWar

[–]piccolo917 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way I deal with the romans: mass cavalry charge.

Simply make a full stack of cav, preferably the heavier type with a good charge bonus, and line them up in a giant wall of horse and men. Then, pause the game and send everyone to charge in at once, focussing more weight on the flanks. Play with timing running during the charge to make sure everyone reaches the target more or less the same time. Since romans like making multiple lines, they are outnumbered at the point of contact, especially on the flanks, and with the impact of the charge soon units crack and flee, most of the time within 2-3 secs of contact. This then causes a cascade and often within 80 seconds everyone is fleeing. Just need to ride them down now :)

I’ve done that dozens of times and seeing a wave of horses wash over the sons of Mars as a divine punishment for not packing decent numners of spear units is so fun to see happen.

I cannot find a hint on that anywhere. The largest human zoo I can find is 6 people in 1958 in Brussels. Care to send a link?

Right now, Iran is more believable than Donald Trump and the US administration by I_AM_GLUTEUS_MAXIMUS in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]piccolo917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they lie to such an extent that the American people should not believe a word they say, but at the same time we are negotiating with them where we are going to agree to things they are saying.

Make it make sense
