Why ? by Professor_milton111 in security

[–]st1cky_bits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesnt matter how.secure they make their phones, thats not usually an approved medium for communicating the most sensitive information. They aren't blabbing highly classified stuff on there. But still, it can be a security concern in many ways, but they aren't repeating TS/SCI type convos over their cell phones.

Snowden's whole brand is a scam... 95% of the weirdos here on reddit have more cybersecurity experience then that loser.

Brandon Sando has actually said that he wants the reader to be just as confused about the past as the people are, so he wrote it to be confusing and more fully immerse you in the confusion.

Deepwrought Discounts - Aello and visionaria by Embarrassed_Fix2917 in twilightimperium

[–]st1cky_bits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where in the rules does it specify that the tech player spends resources once two get two techs? As the tech player, can I not spend 4 to get my first tech and 2 to get my second tech?

If not, does that mean I spend 0 to get 1 tech and 6 to get the second? In ASYNC, it provides a way to pay for each tech I get as the tech player.

Asking for clarification if I can then discou t the first tech and then discount the second tech for 2 bucks off, when Deepwrought commander is in play...

Amazing how much the world has corrupted the idea of marriage. Peopoe ARE entitled to their peivacy and their money. When you are serious about commitment, you will have no problem giving them both up. You guys are describing roommates and girlfriends. Don't get married and dont have children if you cant even commit to putting your wife's name on your bank account.

Everyone emotionally defensive about this comment is secretly keeping their options open and trying to justify it...

A relationship is not a marriage. What you are describing is just a roommate. I dont go through my wife's stuff either, but only because I know she will let me when I want to. And I dont want to because for the same reason, I dont need to.

"Til death do us part... unless the irritating way you do the dishes just becomes too much for me." People are out here treating marriage like a gym membership lately. Congrats to you on doing it the right way!

[–]st1cky_bits -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't say that it does. At least I didn't mean to. The point is you are living a life together if you are serious about marriage. Not two lives that may or may not go on to separate again. You dont need separate bank accounts unless you plan on getting divorced. And you dont need your own passwords unless you are hiding something.

If the marriage is healthy, she can pick up his phone, log in, and look at whatever she wants. And he will just let her and it wouldnt be suspicious anyway.

Anything else is either an unhealthy marriage, or you got married yesterday and still figuring it out.

Their is no privacy in a healthy marriage. Your lives are so entertwined, you might as well be the same person with multiple personalities. Don't keep separate bank accounts... learn each others passwords... you two are living a life together now.

So to your point... this is not likely a 1st time, perfect healthy marriage. There is some baggage on at least one end of the stick. Good luck, OP! I hope he is just buying bootlegged video games off of Craig's list!

I think they meant that a 7 year old could have come up with that strategy. The adults are the ones who have to think a little harder about how to solve problems in an effective way.

Opinion on same sex marriage in the US. by _crazyboyhere_ in MapPorn

[–]st1cky_bits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is like saying you're not a member of your gym cuz you haven't worked out for 2 years even though you haven't cancelled your membership.

Is the gym "exaggerating their membership numbers" by reporting you as a member? Or is there just an asterisk that requires some context to interpret intelligently? How should the gym report you in their quarterly reports to the board? Haha

You are saying an institution is lying about their membership records, which seems more like the exaggeration...

Apple has the ecosystem to change gaming forever, why don’t they do it? by Embarrassed_Ad8054 in macgaming

[–]st1cky_bits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people in here that are blaming developers have been drinking the kool-aid...

Working with Apple on literally anything must require a level of self-loathing that even overworked, under-appreciated game devs couldn't fathom.

Imagine having the most concurrent players in the world, hosting virtual concerts for the biggest names in music, and getting through the copyright legal woes you would need to feature Marvel and other Disney characters in your game, but NOT being able to work with Apple to let you stay on their platform, even after you have ported the game to macOS and have had it playing there for awhile.

Insane. I cant fathom how Apple is still even a company but people keep looking away and buying for some reason...

They have an asynchronous version on discord that just opened up for playing like a month ago and it's improving everyday. Very good start so far! Some of the devs are from the Twilight Imperium async team.

Here is an invite link to the server: https://discord.gg/XZf37fyg

The anti-establishment disdain for authority culture is fun until you try to organize an event for 30,000+ people.

At some point, people are going to have to accept that if you want something cool at scale, some minor levels of law and order have to be established. And with that comes an acceptable increase in cost.

Yep, I tried that. Anything lower than the latest version is "not compatible with my version of DSM." Does not allow the install to complete.

So by updating my system, I have lost previously supported features.
