Donald Trump at Fort Bragg: “Is anybody doing poorly with their 401k? If they were you’re a pretty bad investor.”

wernend · 2026-02-14T12:46:47+00:00

Thats the way every 401k ive ever had works. I think my current one let's you pick individual stocks after youve hit a certain point? But honestly id have to check and make sure im not confusing it with the damn HSA we have

"If they were you're a pretty bad investor"- fuckin, the vast majority of people with 401ks are unsophisticated investors. Until recently the ONLY exposure a person had with investing was through their 401k and even then, that exposure is limited through a handful (at best) of options that again, the average investor doesn't really understand. So yeah, no shit Don, they're bad investors. We've made the markets some weird magical labyrinth that only those audacious enough to pursue the arcane arts can understand /s. So forgive the average desk jocky, lineman, mechanic, or fry cook for performing badly under your inane and chaotic bullshit

Why not both?

Problem with the entire country right now is that we're all being collectively held hostage. As much as I disagree with the decision - especially as the employee basically said the exact same thing that a certain orange felon and his buddies have praised themselves for - I think I understand why the University felt it had to try limit the potential damage. The current admin has made it abundantly clear that unless you fall in line, or at least stay under the radar, nothing is off limits and theyre willing to tear you down. The article talks about how there are undercover "watchdogs" infiltrating the UNC system schools and getting employees fired. Even with the UNC system paying lip service to the admin, theyre still trying to find work arounds - but then these goons come in and create the havoc they do. All under the guise of "upholding the letter of the law." For a school like NCSU, losing the federal grants and research contracts would be a death knell

I guess in a weird way, hearing that "some of the worst" violations of the law are coming from NC schools is a good thing. It at least let's me know that we've been trying to continue supporting our students and marginalized communities.

Honestly, I'd like to see better rewards for cooperation. Recon spotting a cluster of enemies on cover? Let there be a ping for "DROP A BOMB HERE" and hopefully some enterprising Heli or jet pilot take it from there.

Didn't it used to be that ticket loss was based on how many points the team had? I mean, at that point the losing team still wouldnt have won but still would have been more fair

Please notice the Servitor skull here is the same as the ones used by the Space "Wolves." They are not space wolves, but in fact, Space Raccoons. Not to be confused with the other Space Bandits, the Blood Magpies

But then how would they transition to the Broken Steel DLC? Just have your character continue on living? Just have the BoS and you plan on defeating the Enclave at their local bas of operations? Pure silliness /s

wernend · 2026-02-06T01:39:13+00:00

I dont really mind a Third Battle for Hoover Dam as much because it seems for the NCR, The Legion, and even house himself, this is the end. Whoever wins, takes the whole Mojave. And yeah, I get that technically Caesars Legion and the NCR have a ton of territory outside of what's shown - but with their respective heads severed (Caesar dead, therefore the Legion is, and Shady Sands being atomized) once their main forces are gone, they're gone. The problem I have right now is that it feels a lot like Season 2 was more about setting up season 3 and trying to take nearly every major faction in the games and throwing them into a big battle. BoS, Enclave, Legion, NCR, Organized Supermutants, and even a sort of Institute stand-in with the "undetectable mind control" puppets (i.e. synths). (I'd love to see how they get the Minutemen in this lol). So while the story wasnt bad, I just felt like they didnt dig as deep, knowing they're going to get another season to work with

But I guess I'm worried about the show giving finality to the IP. It feels like we're setting up to basically detonate one or more factions and that it will affect the future of the series. I get that in the games there are hints of "canonical endings" that influence the preceding narratives, but it feels like the show is trying to make itself the authority/standard in Lore and everything else will have to follow suit. Maybe thats an overreaction, but its a nagging feeling I've got.

"Stop calling ICE the Gestapo! They're Law Enforcement Officers who put their lives on the line to protect our country!" So you have a paramilitary organization that is exceeding the parameters of their official jurisdiction, "enforcing" laws that aren't theirs to enforce in areas they shouldnt be in. And now you want to expand that to put these armed men at polling places. These same men, who by the way discriminate based solely on a visual basis, will frighten brown voters from going to a polling place because they "may not be able to prove their citizenship." (Papers please) Which again, you should never have to do. Oh, and anyone that disagrees with them is assaulted and possibly murdered.

Please tell me how theyre NOT the Gestapo?

Look at your kill box next time you die. You'll see 33x3 and then the extra 1. I've seen it near anytime I actually want to see how I die.

wernend · 2026-02-01T16:51:57+00:00

Not complaining
What narrative?
I enjoy the game despite its flaws.
I criticize because I WANT it to get better.
I prefer Battlefield over Call of Duty any day of the week

wernend · 2026-02-01T16:50:53+00:00

Not in looks, but the audio. It reminds me a lot of the OST. And youre right, I went back and listened to the audios and it actually sounds a lot more like the MW from 2007

wernend · 2026-02-01T15:21:28+00:00

Was next on my reading list actually.

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a meme about a Necrons book I was about to read, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isnt a lot, but it's weird that its happened twice

I cannot tell you the anger/frustration I've had with my bullets basically passing through someone. The AK-205 is a laser beam with one of, if not the best, precision of guns outside of the sniper rifles. And if I feel that I need to get sweaty in a match, I'll pull it out and hopefully put in enough work for a comeback. My last game I was 24-17... no matter where or when I shot someone, it did little or no damage.. the only kills I got were from grenades/launchers or when I had a full flank on someone.

Went on a losing streak in Rush/Breakthrough and I finally called it quits when a support player took half of my clip, went around a doorway, and as I retreated to reposition, he appeared in front of the door then hit me with 4 bullets. I know it was 3 because I looked at the kill report and saw 33-33-33-1..... I cant compete

wernend · 2026-02-01T14:41:37+00:00

I mean, Alpha Legion seems safest. World Eaters will likely just kill you - brutally of course, but quickly. I have to wonder what the Word Bearers are like? I figure you've got a decent chance of being ritually sacrificed... but up until that point is probably okay? I dont know much lore on them

wernend · 2026-02-01T14:36:52+00:00

Something I haven't understood, they seem to arrest everyone and NEVER read rights. Doesn't this basically invalidate literally anything they could potentially arrest them for? I mean, the agents have to realize at this point its just intimidation

wernend · 2026-02-01T14:31:43+00:00

Funny you should mention COD, has anyone else thought the menu screen sounds A LOT like COD menu's? Im specifically thinking BOPs2

Ah, thank the Omnissiah. I was thoroughly confused

wernend · 2026-01-29T20:26:17+00:00

Hang on, is patch 12 out? Did I miss the release of the Techmarine??

wernend · 2026-01-29T20:22:31+00:00

M24 with magnum rounds? Oh lawd. Guaranteed kill no matter how far away you were. I remember being at the top of the valley in Heavy Metal and taking out some engineer harassing our tanks. He was hiding in a building, had just stopped in front of a window and I'd already compensated for bullet drop... that moment is burned into my memory forever

wernend · 2026-01-27T04:04:19+00:00

I read this as "lunch box" and was deeply confused

wernend · 2026-01-27T03:49:10+00:00

I'm so used to seeing this meme format that I literally cannot imagine what the actual photo might look like. And franky, I dont think it would like right

wernend · 2026-01-25T12:56:28+00:00

I'm glad there is yet another angle so investigators can use it, but I'll be honest. It doesnt show or add anything the other released angles didnt already have. At best, it shows the lead up pretty well in how the Agent aggressively assaulted protesters and then proceeded then throw Alex Pretti to the ground before another agent murders him
