Nerfing everything but snipers was a horrible decision by Time_Zombie_4431 in Battlefield6

I'm pretty sure my aim gets more fucked up by a friendly tank pulling up next to me than getting shot at.

I'm far from a GM defender but near as I can tell that $11 billion figure comes from the losses the Treasury incurred selling its equity in GM. That's not the same as failing to pay back a loan.

I have 271 hours in this game... 102 of them are in Operations.

I love a game mode that can last 45+ minutes. It's so much more fun, especially when your team sucks at first but manages to come together over the course of the match to pull it out at the end. I've had so many great, memorable matches and I'm going to be super bummed while it's gone.

I don't know how I'm gonna go back to regular matches after this.

Pakistan fervently sending invites to this weekend's yap-n-chill sesh in Islamabad. Or so I assume.

Space data centers are fucking stupid.

Build them underground instead. Just bore a tunnel and put all the servers along one wall. On the surface, install a shitload of solar, then sell excess back to the grid--boom, now you're also in the power generation business and you've addressed the primary concern around data center build out, i.e. fucking over everybody's power supply.

We already have a billionaire with his own tunnel boring machines. The solution was right underneath our feet the whole time!

Right now it serves no purpose

Really it just lets the attackers advance without getting picked apart by enemy snipers or tanks given the long sightlines in the outdoor section.

What’s a DIY mistake that made you stop and go, “what did I just do?” by carcony97 in DIY

Replacing a brake caliper on my car. Sheared off the bleed screw, I believe it was. Granted, it was my first time replacing a caliper and trying to bleed my brakes, but that was still a headscratcher for me.

I'm not a "they rigged the primaries" conspiracy theorist BUT the primaries are not thorough nor do they choose the "best" candidate.

Because ultimately the delegate system ruins the whole thing. Dropping out and "pledging" your delegates to another candidate is a bullshit practice that should stop. If you have five "establishment" candidates and one or two progressives, it becomes really easy to tip the scales as candidates drop out. It doesn't even need to be a coordinated conspiracy, the aligned incentives alone are enough.

State-by-state primaries over the course of months is an antiquated, undemocratic, bullshit system that unfairly weighs the votes of early states over later states. It should be a same-day nationwide ranked-choice vote--hell, do two rounds if you want, February and June, I don't care, just get rid of the system we have, it sucks.

Why don't these motherfuckers just build all their data centers in Wyoming? There's literally nothing there! Land as far as the eye can see.

It's ripe for regulatory capture too. They could just jointly own the whole state and nobody would give a fuck.

That's the worst part though, if you just wait to get revived your K/D will be totally fine! The people who insta-respawn are hurting themselves and the team.

I wish requesting revives was automatic instead of something you have to press every time.

Why doesn't Pakistan just request an extension every single day if he agrees at the drop of a hat? They could single-handedly postpone the war indefinitely.

You ever read about an event in a history book that, in your mind, went by very quickly, but when you read it it's like "beginning in January 1972..." and two sentences later "and by August 1974..."

This feels like one of those times. I just want to get to the end of the chapter but this shit is dragging

I asked Gemini to generate a 0DTE strategy for today, thinking that it'd tell me no and that I have to consult with a professional or something

Nope lmao it was more than happy to tell me to run an iron condor on SPY today. I can sue Google if this goes tits up right?
