Got a new boss once my company merged. First round table meeting and he starts attacking our imaging team for not working fast enough, claiming all received requests should and could be boxed and shipped within 48 hours of being received.

After the imaging team kinda fumbled their words, I stepped in and just flat out said that is not true, not of what he said was true. Then explained why. Having to break it down for him that these are office tech workers that support one of the largest teams with the highest turnovers. They don't have the luxury of sitting down and doing nothing but one thing consistently.

The guys hasn't spoken to me in almost 2 years sense. Other than "hey I'm sick, hey I'm going on PTO, e.t.c." he passively snaps at me if I speak up in team meetings now. It's fuckin hilarious.

Fuckin missed opportunity. Would be even better if it was over 98 and the killer says like a really bad joke about running hot.

I'm confused, does he actually think a box packer is skilled labor or is this just a whoosh from the girl.

It honestly worries me how many people roll their eyes when you say this. When it's blatantly fucking obvious. Where are all the patriots to scream " THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE IS THERE FOR A FUCKIN REASON"

Honestly. I used to watch my dad have like 4 channels he could switch between so he didn't have to do commercials. I used to think that was weird, and indicative of some poor character traits. I was a judgemental little shit.

Now this meme is me. I have become my father.

Thanks for the honest answer homie. Me asking you these questions is a form of me trying to work out those internal discriminations. I was writing out a whole long question about something but then it kinda clicked. The only reason the author even mentions being trans here is because it's relevant to the context. In every day life it's not and they wouldn't, they would call themselves a woman, because that's what they are. That makes sense man. It's not the first time I've had this revelation either lol, hopefully it'll stick and it'll be the last time I have to remember.

That last statement, just read a really cool comic that illustrated that call eugenisis or eugenic. If you like comics you should check it out, don't let the name scare you, it's good.

If your using outlook. Goto File > options > Mail > then scroll down to the " send messages " section . In there you should see a checkbox for " warn me when I send a message that may be missing an attachment. "

Once that's enabled outlook looks for keywords in the body of the email such as attached, attachment, e.t.c. and will warn you if there's nothing attached.

So if you at any point in the email say " please see attached, issue is attached, screenshot attached e.t.c. " then you'll be in the clear.

I still think it's funny to think about the fact that Beverly finds out a ghost has been dickin down all her grandma's for several hundred years. Her reaction? 🤤🤤🤤🤤

I found his essay

"Cool soldier guys cleanse the galaxy of unholy xenos"

That's all it says, he turned in the same paper for the Warhammer essay too.

Hey guys,

So I've been an off and on player for several years now, some expansion always brings me back.... briefly.

Play styles . I can get down with a technocracy or the UNE, but they always feel like super easy plays. I'm never going to war alone, if at all. Migration and research treaties up the ass, ez mode. So I like being a war monger. Usually lean towards fanatic imperials, space Nazis, or machine exterminators.

I'm not trying to make it any ungodly difficulty. I'm only setting it to captain, and that's with the scaling set to late game.

My problem is the difficulties always seem to scale just fine until late game. Almost every play through, really close to end game date. I just start getting pummeled by fleets twice my size.

My most recent playthrough

Vanilla exterminators No advanced ai, no fallen empires Medium galaxy, 12 AI, captain, late game date 2550.

This was my best in a while. Only ended up losing after a few 100 years of constant war, some dude from the other side of the galaxy showed up in my territory with 2 fleets twice the size of mine. Not even my fully outfitted citadels with my entire fleet could withstand it. I realized in the diplomacy screen that I was being considered a galactic threat, despite never getting that ascension perk.

So my question is

#1 is a war like playthrough just really hard? #2 is this actually supposed to be easy and I just suck #3 is there some trick to war like playthroughs, some golden rule I'm missing?

Any help would be appreciated I really like the game, but I find it super lame when I play UNE or similar and no one goes to war with me for centuries at a time. I like space battles.

Thanks,
