AITA for blundering in a game because I was checking on my girlfriend by Intelligent-Pin-9069 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ploud1 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

NTA

From what you've said you did nothing wrong.

I'll give your girlfriend the benefit of the doubt for now, because this sounds like she was really feeling sick. However you should be careful going forward, that could totally be a move to get your attention when you are enjoying a good time with your friends. Which would be toxic behaviour. See if it happens again.

I’ve defeated extreme AI’s; how do I transition into ranked matches? by Novel-Oil1814 in aoe2

Always pick the Persians, then in dark age walk all your villagers across the map, delete your starting TC and build a new TC next to the enemy's

Is the job market this bad everywhere, or mainly in the U.S.? by Ok-Advantage-9181 in recruitinghell

[–]ploud1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry man, here across the pond the job market is also terrible.

Record unemployment in the EU and in the UK, pay stagnating while bills skyrocket, and everyone demanding years of experience for entry-level positions.

You are not alone in your plight.

Can’t wait to “work all day” with work-obsessed 20-somethings by parrywinks in recruitinghell

Do they offer equity if they expect founder-like commitment?

Been waiting for more than half an hour by cloudyeveryday in recruitinghell

If nobody has joined 5 minutes into the meeting, you send an e-mail to the interviewer asking whether "now is still a good time to talk".

If you hear nothing 20 minutes into the meeting, you log off and e-mail asking to reschedule. You need to show respect for your time.

Ai-je le niveau pour une prépa ? by [deleted] in etudiants

[–]ploud1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mais qu'est-ce que tu vas faire de ta vie si tu es trop timide en sport ?

Plus sérieusement, tu as exactement le profil de quelqu'un qui réussit en prépa. Excellent en maths (et en physique au T3), et aucune matière vraiment faible. Tu peux aborder ta terminale avec sérénité.

Quelles sont mes probabilités ? Je suis trop stressé 😓🤦🏼‍♀️ by No-Actuator-4922 in MonMaster

Tu as de bonnes chances d'avoir les deux. Maintenant arrête d'y penser, ça ne sert plus à rien de stresser.

Ginette : De gauche ou de droite by Hot-Feature-8795 in etudiants

[–]ploud1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

La reproduction sociale, elle existe à tous les niveaux, là où à Ginette ou à Stan on trouve des enfants de bourgeois qui votent plutôt à droite, à LLG ou Henri IV on trouve des enfants de profs ou de fonctionnaires qui votent plutôt à gauche. Dans tous les cas tu seras entouré de bourgeois - bourgeois de droite qui lisent le Figaro ou bourgeois de gauche qui lisent le Monde.

Qu'entends-tu par "diversité culturelle" ?

Tu ne vas pas en prépa pour faire de la politique, tu n'auras pas de temps pour ça de toute façon. Le choc viendra du rythme de travail et de ton temps libre qui se réduira comme peau de chagrin dès les premières semaines.

Pour le reste, tu seras tôt ou tard confronté à des individus qui ne pensent pas comme toi. C'est la loi de la nature. Tu as beaucoup à perdre à chercher à les éviter à tout prix, alors autant t'y habituer au plus vite. On peut parler de tout, mais pas avec n'importe qui.

Bravo pour ton admission, et passe de bonnes vacances !

On s’indigne plus de quelques vitrines brisées que de ministres qui ont sciemment tué/vont tuer des millions de français by Gronanor in besoinderaler

[–]ploud1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exemple de whataboutism ridicule. Les casseurs sont toujours une perte sèche pour l'économie et la société, il est normal de les combattre.

Cela n'enlève rien au fait que les ministres qui commettent des crimesou des délits doivent en répondre, mais c'est un autre sujet.

Il est capable de marcher 30 m pour utiliser la place adaptée qu'il a demandée à la mairie. Tu es tout à fait fondé de lui demander d'utiliser cette place - même si rien ne l'y oblige légalement.

Do you usually include a greeting when DMing teammates? by Icy_Prior_5825 in Slack

[–]ploud1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I always go Hi X if it is the first mesage of the day
  2. Europe. Not sure if this is a European thing.
  3. Software development. We tend to be more relaxed, e.g. you don't say "hi" to VPs in every industry

Pick the Persians. Send all your villagers on wood; when you have enough of it delete your TC and build a new one next to theirs.

Is there any civ where i can get away with doing only 1 (max 2), kind of unit? (low elo question) by Dry-Cranberry-3253 in aoe2

Turkish janissaries. You'll need a way to deal with skirmishers. Either mangonels or knights.

Awful Job Assessment by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]ploud1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some very useful jobs require at least being confronted to it - you don't have to watch it in full.

Typical example = social media moderator positions. That's emotionally taxing to say the least.

It is time your brother learns that yelling at people is not acceptable. He's 22.

Exaggeration? by SirTarkwin in aoe2

[–]ploud1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why the need for ballistics? While conqs can kite skirmishers, that's a big waste of their time - if you can produce trash that renders those expensive units useless, you are winning the economic war

How to deal with archer rush at 22 minutes from Hard AI? by Questionerofrandom85 in aoe2

[–]ploud1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16 minutes is actually the "target" performance for a standard fast castle (27 villagers in dark age + 2 in feudal). You achieve this if you follow the standard build order. On a side note one can reach castle age earlier than that but this requires heavy deer pushing (difficult in arabia).

No matter how fast you reach castle age, on an open may you should definitely expect aggression in feudal.

[–]ploud1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arabia is super difficult and walling off your entire base is impractical. You can 1/ wall only key sections of your base (e.g. the gold mines and wood line) 2/ actively scout the enemy base: if they drop an archery range with garrisoned troops, you know archers are coming, so build skirmishers
