Random Rants XVIII: It's cold as hell!

[Ulyaoth]

I got an 80 on my physics test.

Drowning in work again.

 

[hossam]

im sick, but i still got a lot of stuff to work on.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Oh, the catapults. Okay. Sorry mang.

No, that's MY army. The Kwarazamian army was Dismounted Ghulams and Arab Cavalry and other nastiness that requires my fine hand at dealing with. Even then I thought it was hopeless until their general died and a strange rout ensued (if they'd kept on fighting I would have lost for sure, the "power" bar on the left was probably 1/10 me and 9/10 them).

 

[Dachs]

Why the hell do you have catapults guarding a city? God, everything about your games just confuses the hell out of me. More so the weird population problems.

 

[Tee Kay]

My years of schooling ends today.

Both a rant and a rave.

Well they were left over from a remnant army who was, at one point, trying to march south to the nearest Elburz city. I kept them there in the hopes that I might one day resume the offensive, and just load the catapults in a new army when it got to Tabriz rather than haul the bastards all the hell the way from Tiflis or Baku.

Also, I've experienced the devastating effects of catapults firing at point-blank range from a city square into an enemy mostly piled up on a street trying to force its way into said square. Similar to putting a PAK 40 in a bombed out building and shoving 75mms into a T-34 from about twenty yards away.

Some people don't understand, professionalism is a two way street.

 

[Catharsis]

My 40-pack of colourful magnetic letters doesn't have an 'h' in it!

This is the worst injustice ever inflicted upon anyone.

 

[TheLastOne36]

at the title. It ain't cold over here.

But GODDAMN these Blackouts are pissing me off!!!!

 

[Leonel]

What would possess someone to tail gate me? I was already going 5 miles over the speed limit in a 40 mph zone! Was it that I accelerated slowly? I can't help it! My car is from 1994! It ain't built for speed!

Slam on your brakes. If you are rear-ended, it is almost always blamed on the person behidn since they are supposed to be following at a safe distance.

Yeah that usually happens to phones when you drop them in water.

True, but there's still a big dent in the back of the car, and it still might hurt, and it still isn't worth it.

 

[Ulyaoth]

If you already got some scratches dents on the bumper and need a new one it is.

 

[Ansar]

I will never be 'truly' fluent in another language.

 

[Mirc]

The key, and sometimes the only way to do it, is to live in a place where it is widely spoken... You can already speak Spanish and English, right? No doubt you can learn another one. You're probably thinking of French...? If that's actually the case, then you shouldn't complain and instead get to work! It's extremely easy - being Romance, it's so thoroughly connected to the other 2 languages that you speak, that you really should have absolutely no problem in becoming fluent. I know, learning a foreign language can get frustrating at times. It can get really frustrating, to the point of giving up. But if what I assumed is actually the case, then you've set out to learn one of the easiest languages in the whole world, for you! So just keep trying.

Hey, if my friend from Japan is 100% fluent in Romanian after 5 years of living there, and if most of the people I know here in Germany are fluent in German (including approximately 1.6564564576 million Turks p), which have a very hard time with an entirely unrelated language), then you can do it too, with a language that has a lexical similarity of over 80% to your native one!!

(and just so you know, the last number is actually not pulled out of my behind )

Just don't give up, it's admittedly painful, but the only way there is.

If it wasn't pulled out from your behind, what orifice was it pulled from?
