| Topic | The use of private military (or mercenaries) as a means for World Peace |
| synth_real 10/13/17 12:45:41 PM #107 | Anybody that argues for using mercenaries clearly hasn't read Machiavelli. Mercenaries are selfish and greedy. Their leaders are either stupid and useless, or clever and ruthless. The clever ones will rob you of any victory that they fought for and set themselves up as the new power in the region they're sent to, and the dumb ones will just lose. They're loyal only to money, and they're not being paid enough to die for some foreign leader. --- "I'm the straightest guy on this board. I'm so straight that I watch gay porn." - Smarkil |

Premarital sex would only decrease one's chances at a long-term relationship. Avoid her, and try to find a girl without using Tinder. Well, he kinda does have a point about Tinder, most people aren't looking for their soulmate on there --- "I'm the straightest guy on this board. I'm so straight that I watch gay porn." - Smarkil |
| Topic | Sears Canada to CLOSE all of its Stores as 12,000 Jobs are LOST!!! |
| synth_real 10/10/17 8:14:27 PM #8 | I had a friend that used to get all the old Craftsman tools he could get, no matter how rusty or nasty, as cheaply as he could get them, and then he would send people (because he'd already done it a lot of times) to exchange them for new tools. Doing this, he'd get brand new wrenches and shit for free or close to it. --- "I'm the straightest guy on this board. I'm so straight that I watch gay porn." - Smarkil |

| synth_real 10/03/17 5:57:10 AM #31 | Stay far away from Canada and don't let FRO get their hooks into you. The kid is old enough now that if your name is on the birth certificate as the father, there's nothing you can do about it, your DNA test will be thrown out of court. If you have to deal with it in court, do abso-fucking-lutely everything you can to do it in American court and not in Canada, our courts will not rule in your favour. --- "I'm the straightest guy on this board.

| synth_real 09/28/17 5:48:56 AM #328 | ParanoidObsessive posted... If an adventurer retired with about 10,000 gold worth of net value, what would that parley into in the grand scheme of things? Would they still mostly be hand-to-mouth, just staying in better inns, eating better food, and drinking better booze? Would they be able to set themselves up as minor nobles in a really nice manorhouse somewhere and live out the rest of their lives relatively comfortably? Or would they have to go out of their way to invest that income in order to maintain anything resembling a stable lifestyle? What if they retired with 50,000 instead? Or 100,000? I did some googling and found that the price of a sword in medieval England would have been the equivalent of about $10-11,000 USD today. Pathfinder prices a basic long sword at 15 gold pieces. That averages out to about $700 USD per gold piece. I'm not sure how entirely accurate that number may be, but I think it would be safe to say that one gold piece would be equivalent to at least two weeks pay for a commoner, depending on if they're a skilled labourer of some sort. --- "I'm the straightest guy on this board.

| Topic | What's the deal with extra small calibre, high power rifles? |
| synth_real 09/28/17 5:21:24 AM #7 | Lokarin posted... As I understand it the damage of a bullet is force*mass, like, well, everything ever That's the force of the bullet, not necessarily the damage that it does. Some high power rounds basically just zip right through a person with all that force behind them. Still deadly, but not as bad as a lower powered round that breaks apart or tumbles sideways through the person on impact. --- "I'm the straightest guy on this board.

If they have a scale of hotness, order 1 higher than the max spinal tap style. The capsaicin (the compound responsible for the heat) is like an oil, so it will accumulate in your mouth as you eat.

| synth_real 08/21/17 9:31:50 PM #182 | You could make a portal maze. Make 10-20 square(ish) rooms with four portals, one in each corner/side. Number the rooms, then write out their numbers 4 times on little pieces of paper and mix them all up in a hat. Then, go through each room, and for each portal pull one number out of the hat, that will be the room that portal goes to. Fill the rooms as you desire. Most, but not all of them should have some kind of a distinctive feature. Figure out the path out of the maze, and maybe make one or two key portals require a special item to use or maybe make the player restore the power and leave the solution in another room. --- "I'm the straightest guy on this board.

In some ways, it fits the pattern of how organized crime groups tend to form and establish territory in the real world, albeit with the official civil government actually recognizing them as a valid entity with permission to operate "outside the law" (not entirely dissimilar to the Mafia's offer to work for the US government during WWII, or implied Mafia/CIA ties afterwards).
