Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!

As lwl already said, the reason that gaijin's statement matters is because none of the leaks that I saw posted on war thunder's forums were for clout. This isn't the dumbass in discord posting stuff because he got pissed off that others didn't believe how cool he was. All of them were because the player had a beef with the developer's take on the capabilities of a tank/plane and they wanted gaijin to use the real world takes on what their favorite little machine could do.

As far as cooperating, why would they need to in order to keep the leaks coming? These are gamers, and specifically simulation lovers who sometimes have nearly disorder-like focus on war machines, not dipshits in an office trying to use microsoft word. If gaijin didn't cooperate and a country tried to block the forums for war thunder, the users would probably rant for five minutes, then fire up a vpn or proxy and log in.

Forced doxxed him? Everybody on 4chan knew who he was from the beginning. He went to the conventions. Hell, the classic meme reply to newfags explaining what a troll was used him as the template!

Considering that they've basically said everything to stop the postings aside* from threatening to ban people from the game, I'd say they actually don't want the posts.

*They've said they will never used the leak material for game design purposes, and they also cooperate in the prosecutions of the leakers, IIRC with the nato/western leaks.

Proselytize, brother, like the ancient christians and muslims did centuries ago. Use the sword if you have to.

Don't make me laugh. Options? Lemmynsfw.com and that's about it. It deserves some donations from me if I can figure out the cryptocurrency options.

that's what libreddit and the like are for. Reddit (for now) just has too many old questions that were answered really well and in depth, or just were the only real findings when looking for answers in small areas.

Lol, don't feed the troll, matey.

Yes, and that's why there are so many in-person arguments about alignments. Too many groups that I've been in have socially enforced thinking about character actions, especially involving the stereotypical party-conflict-initiator, also known as the paladin. At least for the most part the hobby enjoyers have gotten away from the "you're lawful, so you have to follow the laws even when you're in an eeeeevil society!" thinking. It had gotten so bad that the game developers actually addressed it in one of the 3.5 splatbooks. Tome of exalted deeds, I think.

It also doesn't help that the game designers go back and forth about it as well. Reading any of gygax's diatribes about alignment just leads to conflicting statements and mental damage.

Because the idea of lawful/chaotic NOW draws from the dnd heritage, which has watered down the concepts to 'follows laws' and 'breaks laws' and sadly, most of these pictured assholes 'follow' the laws because their kind got to write the laws. Trump is basically the only exception, and is also basically the only one who is questionably a billionaire.

Huh. I actually haven't seen any mention of that since the community for reporting it / sympathizing/fantasizing about it shut down. Are people still getting them?

I start considering price, value, but also have to consider if it’s a garbage product or not, oh hey, do we need dried noodles

Yeah, none of that is bad, but when my partner decides that it takes five minutes a product for each decision, I get annoyed. If you can't figure it out in five seconds, the differences are obviously not a big enough deal.

Lol, I don't even have a map in my head. I walk the same route every time, because I get the same items every time. If I want variety or spice in my food life, I can go to a restaurant once a month. The rest of the time food can be as bare, repetitive, and thus simple as possible.

The biggest problem with d&d axes is that people try to pick an alignment and then have their character's actions come from it (and the resulting frequently induced cross-table talk with the eye-rolling phrase "a lawful/neutral/chaotic good/neutral/evil character wouldn't do that! You're X/Y, so you wouldn't do that!").

No real person has every action fall within one of the outlying boxes' bounds. Actually 'moving' yourself from the neutral spot is (supposed to be) beyond most mortals.

A throwback to a series of books that (almost) no one talking about the D&D alignment axes (the axes came from the ideas of the books) knows of anymore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elric_of_Melnibon%C3%A9 There are actual gods/forces of law and chaos.

It's why he's not a billionaire. Zing!

Okay, fair, but I'm imagining it as reeeeally subtle.

And in the US, jail can be up to just short of a year.

I'd like to point out, 'proper' jail, for misdemeanor level offenses, is 'up to a year,' but I personally know individuals who have been in jail (where people awaiting trial stay, in addition to people convicted of misdemeanors) for over three years now, still waiting on their trial.

Wait... isn't ~1,000 per 100,000 much closer to 1% than 2%?

It's still mind boggling, not trying to minimize it.

Dehydration is a common cause for cats to be 'ill' and brought to the vet,* so it could be that their piss reeks because they are having to concentrate it so much in the first place.

*source: a dimly remembered conversation with a vet friend when I asked her why she was adding water to the already wet food for her cat. She said her cat could never be encouraged to drink enough, so it was her way of staving off the annoyance of giving iv fluids to her own animal someday.
