  • Because when you get pissed off at one shitty video and click off it to find a better one, that’s free real estate in which to double your ads.

    And what are you gonna do? Go to Peertube? YouTube is too gigantic to have a real competitor no matter how much we try. It is a beast so massive and bloated at this point that we just can’t kill it without legislative interference. And Google knows damn well that they’re basically the only game in town so they aren’t afraid of significant user backlash.





  • Fact is, if you aren’t in the central bell curve, then you aren’t a profitable sector. Everything is tailored to the average these days in order to have the largest potential pool of customers from which to extract profit. If only one out of every ten people is tall enough to have problems with “regular sized” objects then that means only one out of every ten people are potential customers for your Big&Tall products. 99% of companies will elect to target the other 9/10 instead, even in a saturated market.





  • [This](https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?166459-(3-5\)What-is-it-that-makes-the-Hulking-Hurler-War-Hulk-so-powerful) seems to be the thread in question. This was a very fun read. With just a little bit of cheese, not even that much honestly, a War Hulk/Hulking Hurler can be brought up to the point of throwing entire galaxies. Several Gurren Lagann references abound.

    In short, the build courtesy of Halae in that thread:

    Progression

    Race: Centaur

    This build uses the elite ability score array: Str 15, Dex 14, Con 13, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 8. All ability score increases are dumped into Str.

    ECL Class/HD/LA Feats Special

    1st monstrous humanoid Power Attack

    2nd monstrous humanoid +2 Str (17)

    3rd LA +2 Str (19)

    4th monstrous humanoid Cleave +2 Str (21)

    5th LA +2 Str (23)

    6th monstrous humanoid Large size

    7th Lolth-touchedMM4 template LA +6 Str (29)

    8th barbarian rage (33 str)

    9th war hulkMH Point Blank Shot +2 Str (31/35)

    10th war hulkMH +2 Str (33/39)

    11th war hulkMH +2 Str, ability score increase (36/40)

    12th war hulkMH Weapon Focus (50-lb rock) +2 Str (38/42)

    13th hulking hurlerCW really throw anythingCW

    14th war hulkMH +2 Str (40/44)

    15th war hulkMH Brutal ThrowCAd +2 Str, ability score increase (43/47)

    16th war hulkMH +2 Str (45/49)

    17th war hulkMH +2 Str (47/51)

    18th war hulkMH Natural HeavyweightPlH +2 Str (49/55)

    19th war hulkMH +2 Str, ability score increase (52/56)

    20th hulking hurlerCW overburdened heaveCW

    Munchkin-Size Me

    You can use the standard point buy to max out strength instead of getting the elite ability score array. (+3 = 59)

    Belt of giant strength +6 (= 65)

    Manual of gainful exercise +5 (= 70)

    A runePGtF FRCS of righteous might will give a +4 size bonus to strength and increases your size to huge. (= 74)

    A runePGtF FRCS of divine power will increase your BAB by 10. (It, also, gives a +6 enhancement bonus to Strength—which overlaps with the belt of giant strength—and at least 7 temporary hit points.)

    At this point 2,863,104 lbs is a light load. So you can throw an improvised weapon doing 14319d6+32 points of damage (50148.5 average; damage reduction? What’s that?), and your attack bonus is (+17 BAB, +32 Str, −2 size, −2 improvised thrown weapon =) +45. Anything with an AC less than 48 can only be missed on a natural 1.

    Overburdened heave: 28635d6+32 (100254.5 average)

    add iron golem arm +12 ac d2 25/+2 +4 con and +12 str ( 92str (when raging)) 4 a +3 lv adust (can be taken at amy time)(give a gauntlet of rust to immune to rusting)











  • I’ll still vote, because it is my duty as a citizen.

    Then you aren’t the target of this! Many folks refuse to vote and then act all upset that their wishes aren’t being respected. No shit they aren’t, you haven’t presented any wishes. None of us chose to be responsible for the future of our nation, but if you want to continue to live in a democracy, then you need to contribute to that democracy. It is a duty as a citizen and in my opinion should be mandatory.

    Don’t get me wrong though, I completely understand your perspective. Mostly because I’ve felt a lot of it myself. Make no mistake, I am also blaming and bullying the ass off the current US administration that enabled this and the previous generations that allowed it to progress. But shitting on Boomers doesn’t help fix the problems we have today.

    Just remember, a state doesn’t vote. People vote. Your state votes red because people in that state vote red. If enough people come out to flip that, then the state vote will flip. Voting in local elections will help ensure this much more than only showing up every 4 years to vote in the presidential.

    We still, as of now, have a viable path forward that can prevent bloodshed and collapse of American society. I am going to fight tooth and claw to follow that path if we are able. If we aren’t, then so be it. But I will not suffer apathy to destroy my home. End of story.
