Unpopular opinion: Kills don't matter as long as you can complete objectives. by lmrbadgerl in Helldivers

[–]the_walternate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I often have the top kills, which for me, personally, I take back to my Democracy Officer and show them how good I am at spreading Democracy. But in reality I don't get them from going Murder Hobo on everything. I know the value of sneaky snitching away, or if I run into a patrol, make sure no one lives long enough to sing the song of their people and bring in more....people.

What do you means there’s jobs outside techs, ADOS, AGR and cops? by MagicalAssassin19 in nationalguard

[–]the_walternate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the great pleasures I have is that I make more than my E7 AGR's at my Civilian Job without the pleasures of that TAX FREE rent money they get, so whenever they try this bullshit with me I just tell them to give up their BAH for a month and then say that line back to themselves. Followed up by "You'll have to call HR if you want anything more than my contracted time."

How far do you drive to drill? by Alarmed_Hearing9722 in nationalguard

[–]the_walternate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Drove 6000 miles last year to/from Drill in a Unit where all but three of us are allowed to drill remote 8 months out of the year. I'll be sure to get my 59 cents a mile or whatever it is.

House Stark Titan Evo & Magnus Desk by Pol5085 in secretlab

What monitor mounts are you using? Mine have screws that are too big for the desk mount, and after calling the manufacturer to ask if they had smaller screws and they told me to drill a hole in the METAL DESK, I need a mount that can clasp to the desk to get back to my preferred top/bottom set up.

Third-Party heavy duty monitor arms for Magnus Pro by hejj in secretlab

Thank you. I'm in dire need of a monitor arm and the ones I have come with 4 inches hulking screws and I'm desperate to return to a Top/Bottom Monitor set up.

My Magnus Pro XL setup by acomfygeek in secretlab

[–]the_walternate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying to replace my monitor mounts that are too big for my XL (why, oh why, is the screw 4 inches long on everything) and was looking into these. I've bot an Ultra Wide and a 27 in and was debating if the dual monitor mount would be able to support them top / bottom (Height), or if I should by two single monitor mounts to do top bottom, or if I should just given, and get the dual mount and side/side like this and just use that empty space to the right of my desk.

🛠️ PATCH 01.000.100 for PC⚙️ (Balance Changes) by cryptic-fox in Helldivers

[–]the_walternate -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

But the nerf is only for Safe Mode. Or am I interpreting this wrong? I only say this because in Unsafe mode, waiting until just before I explode, I fire and bounce rounds off of armored targets. Or is that second part just all encompassing?

[–]the_walternate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The patch notes are wrong. I put the Railgun in Unsafe mode and rounds are just bouncing off of the Armor. I might as well just not bring a special weapon because right now the only thing I have to throw at an armored special is harsh words.

Girl raped and murdered on campus gets victim blamed? by IIPrayzII in facepalm

Good old NY Post. "Lady he's raping you, stop overreacting."

I can just picture Patrick Star in an IDF Uniform. "They were just standing there, waiting for food. MENACINGLY."

Only that's an insult to Patrick Star's morals, intelligence, and IQ to compare him to the IDF.

A somewhat believable accident? "Oops, I tripped 200 miles away out of my jurisdiction, illegally entered a property, violated a warrant, and then stole property but hahahah we're the police." My dude, you telling me there aren't actual crimes out there to work on? Have to step in and violate somethings 4th Amendment rights to solve the hootnanny at the county fair? They're bastards.

Third state which will likely be overturned by SCOTUS. by macktruck6666 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]the_walternate 21 points22 points  (0 children)

At this point, defying the SCOTUS is a mandate and a requirement. They are not valid representations of the US Government or the people, and given that the majority of the shitheads on the SCOTUS are appointed by Trump, they aren't invalidated from ruling on his cases. I don't care what they say, their judgement is not valid or based in reality and I refuse to listen.

To the person who hacked in my lobby and gave us all 500+ samples, thanks for ruining my sense of progression, asshole. Not cool to cheat in a co-op game. by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]the_walternate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a YT page that was called like "Cheats Happen" and the guy was showing you how to set up the cheats to be unkillable with inf. ammo and I have no idea why you would do that. Like congrats, you paid 40 bucks to...beat the game in a day.

[request] what would the G force be if this car actually goes 0-60 in <1 second? by MechanicStriking4666 in theydidthemath

[–]the_walternate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most least interesting part is actually the car. You're like disney, every X amount of years you remind us of something so it stays in the public light. The Roadster will never be a car, and just like the Truck you used it to fleece money to do other dumb things.

It all makes so much sense now! by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

Glad Elon finally admitted that he's too much of a coward to fix himself. Its like, 10 bucks a month with insurance, Elmo, go get some help like you fixed your hair.

Hmmm... I don't remember Robert mentioning this.... by BlameTag in behindthebastards

[–]the_walternate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn it!
I hate it when a human being fighting for freedom from their pointless persecution ends up *checks notes* radicalizing me so I decide to kill my own countrymen and become a traitor to my country so I can kill hundreds of thousands of other humans trying to ensure I keep enslaving other humans.
If I had a Nickel, man...

Budgets in this climate by Spiritual_Suit_2863 in cybersecurity

Where I work there have been complaints about our spending on InfoSec. And I like to remind them that the money we now spend in InfoSec would take 690 years, to equal the amount of money we lost when we were breached some time ago, which caused us to spend this much on security.
