She lied and manipulated V, set up an incredibly dangerous situation to serve her own ends.

Had she been honest from the start, I can see siding with her, but she's just handing off the blackwall tech to someone just as bad, else and screwed V and countless innocent people in the process, so reluctantly, I've gotta side with the Reed and the NUSA

Few more years late, I can't seem to get her to follow me up the stairs to the roof, she would only follow me if I went down.

And sine going downstairs meant there was no way to get through the lobby without getting spotted I executed every one of the staff in that god forsaken place.

Yes, I could have used memory wipe and gotten past them...but they deserved what they got

I'm trying this now...and weapon glitch does nothing to stop the missile spam.

I keep getting instagibbed soon as phase 3 starts.

I even managed to stay low on the first 2 phases to keep the upstairs cover intake. Doesn't matter if I am standing behind a column or a wall, he fires a salvo and I go from full health to flatlined instantly

Mini-Marine

I know it's a few years late, but the upload time is 2 seconds, the duration is 5 seconds. so that is a total of 315 damage

And on top of that it takes off armor, so you can do more damage with your weapons

Mini-Marine

Puck is going to need something to hold it in place, maybe slide in from underneath and have a slight lip to keep it from coming up with the controller.

I'm currently running a CGS Helios DT, but I'm contemplating the SAW Tisha in order to cut down 2" of length, they come in at 10.6 and 11oz

There's also the cobalt kinetics Scrambler at under 7oz...but they are out of stock on SilencerShop, and their website is down, so I don't know if they've gone out of business again or something

Mini-Marine

I was lucky enough to buy in when interest was really low just before Covid and then refinance even lower, so I'm permanently locked in to my 2.25% mortgage.

Even with that I can only afford it with roommates.

I'd love to find something smaller because I don't need a 3 bedroom 1400 sqft townhouse, but any smaller means a condo with HOA fees so high that it offsets any savings, even with the 150k in equity I've got

Mini-Marine

She has a team, they were the ones responsible for everything prior to the convention and the going.

But sure, the campaign did nothing wrong, it was doomed from the start and there totally weren't any unforced errors 🙄

No reason to consider how things could have turned out differently because no mistakes were made and it was all preordained

Mini-Marine

Incredibly obvious attacks that she did nothing to counter message against.

She ran into the same problem Clinton did, thinking that American voters are smarter than they actually are and wouldn't fall for blatant propaganda and see how terrible Trump is

Surprise surprise, American voters are idiots and believed Trump's lies.

Her own team had been doing a good job initially, but they got replaced by professional consultants who knew better and ended up sinking her campaign.

Mini-Marine

Yeah, a bunch of people though that not voting would somehow send a message to the Democrats, or they voted for Jill Stein, who only appears every 4 years to get money from the right and draw votes away from Dems.

That said the Harris campaign did a poor job on messaging after the convention took place and biden's team took over from the people Harris had in place at first.

She was obviously the better option, but did a poor job of advertising it and pretty much let the right control the messaging.

A lot of people believed the rhetoric that if she was elected we'd be drawn into a war with Iran and other complete bullshit that her campaign didn't bother to refute because that assumed that American voters were smarter than they actually are.

Mini-Marine

Trump didn't get the majority. He got a plurality, and a lot of people stayed home because they were unimpressed with Harris.

4 million less people voted in 2024 than 2020

Mini-Marine

62% of the country thinks it's the governments job to provide healthcare.

The highest it's been since the Republicans full court press against it when the ACA was being passed

Mini-Marine

That we need more actual progressives other than the corporate Dems we've been stuck with, resulting in the best we are able to do for getting better access to healthcare is the Republican alternative to Hillarycare care from the 90s

Mini-Marine

Especially now when you don't have to drop 200 on the stamp.

That said, there's now other light, short options for cans, so I would go with one of them instead, since the performance of the canooter valve is marginal

Mini-Marine

No shit?

And here I thought more Republicans would somehow solve the problem 🙄

Mini-Marine

A public option is what people were wanting.

That's the specific more in this case

Mini-Marine

We can acknowledge that it was a huge step up from what we had and that it's disappointing that we couldn't get more

Mini-Marine

If you've got that little range, then you need to be able to charge quickly if case you unexpected need to drive more than expected.

With 250+ miles of range, it's far less likely that'll be an issue because there's likely enough range cushion to see you through

Mini-Marine

Figure out if you actually need to bother with a level 2 charger.

For many people level 1 is sufficient and you don't need to bother spending any extra money

Mini-Marine

I have mine set to 75% but that's just because I want it to line up with one of the hash marks when I leave the house and 80 puts my at one bar over

Mini-Marine

That's not how constitutional conventions work.

Mini-Marine

They don't care.

They are dancing excitedly that this will bring about the the times and Jesus will come back

Mini-Marine

The problem is with the constitution.

The founding fathers weren't expecting it to last this long and he treated as some sort of sacred text.

Jefferson expected a new constitution every 19 years.

There are better governmental systems in place than what we have, that have gotten to learn based off of issues with with our constitution.

It turns out we've created a system where it's very easy to break things and very difficult to fix them.

Many safeguards that people thought were in place by the constitution, turned out to be nothing but tradition and the honor system

Mini-Marine

That's why we need Nuremberg 2.0, rather than a second Nuremberg.

Learn from the mistakes of 1.0 to make 2.0 better

Mini-Marine

I've had the game for years and only now finally gotten around to playing it.

This thread helped me figure out how to beat this asshole
