  • Multiple people are calling out that the mine planet wasn’t at 80% liberation while the child planet was at 45% - are you sure you didn’t check another planet by accident, or otherwise mix up your numbers?

    If you just take a look at the memes the community made you’ll see that they’re all focused on Helldivers saving the kids, which is further evidence that you might’ve gotten the numbers wrong.

    EDIT: I haven’t used this website before, but this dashboard shows that marfark was at 0% liberation until yesterday. I’m pretty sure you’ve gotten your numbers wrong initially. I think when you checked and the planet had 74k players, the liberation had RISEN to 39%, which is supported by the dashboard plot of marfarks liberationb& the timestamp of 2024-06-15T02:45:04Z shows 76k active players and around 40% liberation, steadily rising up from 0 before.





  • What I’ve learned from this comment is that there is an extremely small percentage of gals who may dislike the term ladies based on a very obscure reason, so until they tell me their personal objections the reasonable thing is to go with the common societal usage of the word.

    You’re probably getting down voted because it’d be the same as if I got on my high horse and replied, “well you oughta learn that some people don’t even like the word ‘person’ because it reminded them of existing”.

    Like sure, that happened to you and it’s great that you can now refer to your friend the way they prefer. But that’s such a niche situation that I don’t think it should be conveyed in a manner as if people were inadequate for not knowing. Makes a good story to tell though.

    If you’d just said “fun fact, some people blah blah blah” it carries a very different tone then “good start, now learn that blah blah blah”

    One implies it is an experience you had, the other implies it is an experience that all others should’ve known.







  • The point they’re making is that folks aren’t typically experiencing 108 as a significant part of their lives, because they’re oftentimes shuttling around from air conditioned refuge to air conditioned refuge. There is minimum discomfort because if you don’t have AC you legitimately might die.

    However the portrayed lifestyle of NY folks involved much more engagement with the outdoors, resulting in lower instaneous discomfort, but added up over time.

    So the claim being made isn’t that the number 81 indicates a hotter environmental temperature than 108, it’s that the experience of those at 81 add up to be just as, if not more uncomfortable.
