Its all gaslighting at the end of the day. I dont draw much distinction between the flavors.
- Comment on Housing prices 1 week ago:
You attacked me for not knowing the price for construction materials, implying that my statement of the cost of homes being close to the $138K in the OP was way off. Then I showed i knew what I was talking about, and your argument became land price and hidden costs of construction. Thats exactly what a straw man does. You move the goalposts and create a new argument instead of addressing how you got called out on your bullshit.
- Comment on Housing prices 1 week ago:
Keep moving your goal posts, straw man. The rest of us are actually making progress.
- Comment on Housing prices 1 week ago:
I have recently had an estimate made for materials to construct a 1200 square ft home and it was a little over 135k. Add in labor and its looking like $175-200k. Compare that to the $800k starter homes in the area and you see a huge disconnect.
- Comment on Housing prices 1 week ago:
If you actually look at the cost of labor and materials to build a house today, its not far off. The difference you see is the cost of allowing enormous corporate development companies to exist and do business in this country. The false scarcity on top is a product of the greed that keeps people out of housing to begin with.

Its a six hour exclusivity nothing burger. Anyone who genuinely gets upset about this has already been caught in the filter.

As a native American, its pretty clear exactly why everyone should hate on Europeans when it comes to alcohol.
- Comment on Capital of Estonia after a visit from Swedish football fans 2 weeks ago:
95% of people overlook the involvement of alcohol. I know you urinpeans love your booze, but you need to recognize that its a problem. I went out to a 4/20 event one year in the far off land of San Francisco, and everything was great until about 5pm when the liquor came out. Once morons started doing shots off park benches, the fights started, and the property destruction started. An otherwise peaceful and heavily medicated gathering turned into a riot with just a handful of handles.
- Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening? 3 weeks ago:
This has always been a thing forever. A Miranda warning is exactly that, a courtesy warning. Anything you say at literally any time and in any scenario barring very little can be used against you in a court of law. At the same time, you always have the right to invoke your 5th amendment protections barring very specific exceptions. AFAIK the exception is when a judge orders you to testify. Literally no other time can you be compelled to answer unless you’ve already agreed to do so.
Point: Always assume anything you say is being recorded and might come up again later. Do not rely on other people to warn you before you fuck yourself. Shut your speak hole unless your representative says otherwise.

Idk i bought a cosmetic in a game that put a little wobbly piglet with holy seals on the head of a very grumpy and serious inquisitor fanatic once. Honestly haven’t matched that high in years.

I had originally misread the other comment as saying there were no tetrapods 175mya, not during the carboniferous. That is technically correct for the beginning of the era in question, though tetrapods and flowers did evolve not long after.
- Comment on Dammit 2 months ago:
Nope. The first land vertebrate evolved about 340MYA. 700MYA was a whole lot of nothing. The first plants and fungi to colonize land evolved about 440MYA. Before then, the earth probably looked a lot like Mars. It wasn’t until mosses and lichen came along that we even got dirt instead of sand/gravel.

I am completing the pattern. Every other stereotype had a negative, why shouldn’t this one?
Or was the joke that Mongolians are better than other Asians?

- Comment on GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT – Announcement Trailer 2 months ago:
Gonna have to disagree. I actually played ancient city way back when on ps2. I’d have to say it was most similar to a modern doom (for the time) or a clunky quake. Dark, yes, but only dark. Otherwise, its hard to distinguish from any other fps style horror/adventure title.
Armored core, on the other hand, has the scale and the engagement that is much more in line with later souls releases. Kings Field has the tone, but Armored Core has literally everything else.
- Comment on GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT – Announcement Trailer 2 months ago:
Would you be surprised to learn its the same company? In fact, Armored Core is the OG souls like that came out before the first Souls game.

You can have heft and speed. AC6 is my benchmark, and I’m not seeing that here.
The pile driver hits like a truck in AC6 and you can still put it on a spindly butterfly build that basically never stops boosting.

- Comment on We produce more resources than we could ever consume in the least sustainable ways possible. 2 months ago:
Overexploitation is killing the planet. We used to have millions of buffalo across America farting up the atmosphere with zero issue for tens of thousands of years. Less than 200 years of industrial scale beef exploitation later and suddenly cow farts are destroying the atmosphere. Is is the cows fault for farting? Or is it the humans fault for breeding 500 million cows?

Is there some alternate universe you people come from where overexploitation of arable topsoil doesnt happen?

- Comment on John - it's a trap! 3 months ago:
I made some doors for that building way back when it was under construction.
Custom designed aluminum extrusion welded together and then 3/4 plate glass glazed in.
Doors weigh something like 150-200lbs a piece.
And most of the welds are absolutely lousy with porosity and cracking due to por quality aluminum used in the extrusion.
Honestly pretty sure you could get through with a screwdriver and maybe an hour of time lmao
