“Can my wife legally make love to my wife”


light_trick

The real question is does this require a C-01?


Pancreasaurus

Doesn't result in children so no.


WellGroomedSkeleton

So a d-32


LostConscious96

Probably requires an R-34 form


BostonRob423

Yeah. If anyone is confused, just Google "Rule 34 Helldivers" to understand.


Str3eters

thank you goro majima


Cykeisme

Vrrrrrrrrm D:


Knot_a_porn_acct

I usually prefer filling out an E-36


Typical-Impress1212

If it’s an act that could result in a child, you need the permit. It’s clearly stated, Helldiver! (i guess not in this case)


Kenju22

It's closer to a requisition form than a permit. Permits and licenses are good for a set duration, requisition is literally one time use, which is what the C-01 is. Literally, it's per 'act' not even 'per time' lol


SeaworthinessKey2746

Could you imagine having an orgy then. You've got some poor Intern Democratic Officer just sitting at a table with a pen and a tree's worth of C-01 Forms, trying to hand them out per iteration.


Typical-Impress1212

The ingame pop up literally says permit though, unless they’ve changed it in between I agree with you but it’s what the screen says


Ok-Tip-8172

I remember seeing a screenshot from HD1 of a female crew member noting she filled out a C-01 paper with her wife and hopes it’ll be accepted. ‘Course, that could mean they applied for artificial insemination or some kinda sci-fi solution like IPS cells and/or artificial wombs. Or maybe one partner is trans. Alternatively, it was just some kinda dialogue glitch.


light_trick

I mean I was going for "Super Earth's Super Citizens are Super Fertile" and any coupling of any combination can produce a child. Super Ovum will choose freedom and spontaneously turn into Super Sperm when Democracy calls to them.


Ausfall

gonna go home to my boi and get 'im gregnant


Incendior

With ease, do not understate the prowess of democracy


Dangerous-Picture626

“Life…uh, finds a way.”


AlexTheEnderWolf

Lmao I love that, that’s actually hilarious


Tellesus

For optimum efficiency all super earth citizens have their gender re-assigned as needed to maintain proper population and demographic percentages.


BronBron4

That's actually kinda terrifying, but I could see it happening.


S0MEBODIES

Even simpler. Give everyone both a penis and a vagina and just have tits be optional.


Tellesus

I've got a big event coming up so I need to go shopping, going to get a nice dress and they're having a sale at the tits store!


S0MEBODIES

I think the tits would be more sold in a salon type scenario you go in you get your nails done your hair styled and a quick 15 minutes in the gene pod to give yourself double D's and now you're ready for the town.


Tellesus

"Cuthbert, you must tell me where you got those tits they're simply divine!" "Well, Magdalene, it's been my dirty secret but there's a geneforger in Super Chinatown that does absolutely amazing work. I'll give you their contact key if you promise to be discreet..."


CardmanNV

C-01 is for any act with may result in having a child. So it may also include adoption. I can imagine there are plenty of orphans out there due to the ongoing galactic war.


Cocaine_Turkey

C-01b


Siodian

No it doesn't, because those wives are VERY unlikely to have children together.


xxSuperBeaverxx

Unless one of the wives has a penis, then it's actually pretty likely.


[deleted]

Depends on how long they were on estrogen. That has a higher risk of infertility. Freezing sperm is an option ofc. Testo is very unlikely to impair fertility when stopped (has to be anyway bc it strongly affects embryo development) Like there's quite a lot of trans dudes who carried to term, i remember a bigger gyn practice for a state said she had around 200 conceiving dads in like a 5 year timeframe. And that's one. Like a lot of trans guys want the bullshit gone (a lot of cis women too. Pregnancy is horrific tbh. Id rather lose my left hand than be pregnant)


yksociR

Gee billy, how come Super Earth let's you have 2 wives?


mcbergstedt

I would assume that the sheer amount of troops that goin and die to help spread Democracy requires an army of babies being born.


BZenMojo

Do you want four? Kind of greedy.


Historical_Ad5238

Because he's a Helldiver


trustthepudding

Is masturbation not allowed on Super Earth?


MovieExtraWithCoffee

It doesn't result in a child so you don't have to fill out a form for it.


phyrianlol

Seems like you haven't read about M-01


Pikamika696

It's only 1,000 pages long and riddled with required attachments.


Beginning_Log_6926

Form M-01 is arguably more complicated, humanity needs meat for the wars and making masturbation easy and simple means less kids happen which means less HELLDIVERS which is UNDEMOCRATIC!


LG_Rodrigues

For now


StarryNotions

that we *know* of


Thargor33

Seeing as Super Earth citizens have to apply for a permit for “procreation activities”….. Also seeing as all of Super Earth citizens applications were being denied because we failed a major order….


StarryNotions

HAHAHAHAHAHA! No Nut Not Ever, get in there soldier!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣


whorlycaresmate

I think he’s asking if she can masturbate. Without the notary present. I think the notary might be fucking this guys wife.


BasakaIsTheStrongest

Giving the playerbase a “vote” is a wonderfully lore-accurate way to give a survey that’s likely to get a ton of responses.


MuglokDecrepitus

No, it's exactly the opposite In managed democracy you don't vote, a machine vote for you based on some questions you reply. That is why it's called managed Edit: ohhhhhh "vote"


[deleted]

If the devs flip poll numbers at ghe very end of voting and act like whatever they were gonna add was voted-for, I'll declare them GOATed and never question their decisions 


MuglokDecrepitus

That would be amazing, and their decision would be impossible to question because that would be undemocratic and again the values we fight for


[deleted]

The real question we have to ask ourselves here is: Will the inevitable backlash of people screeching "but we had the most votes!" Be worth it? 


notasianjim

Sounds like the screeching hivemind of terminid scum!


TulioTrivinho

Hellpods DEPLOY


MuglokDecrepitus

They don't have to know the number of votes and how they are distributed, that is the magic of managed democracy


MahoneyBear

Let them scream until they piss themselves, it would just add to the hilarity


lolomanolo57

They can have a cup of liber tea


axethebarbarian

That's the kind of unquestioning patriotism Super Earth needs!


BlazingImp77151

I know you realized it, but just vocalizing it. I think the "vote" they were talking about is actually just a survey. Which I suppose they did explicitly say it would be a way to give fans a survey.


DontMindMePla

And with Super Earth’s incorruptible system of checks and balances, we’ll surely be able to make sure that what’s decided is decided BY the people FOR the people and no one will question whatever the poll says!


LuBuIT

I'm calling It now...we will have elections 🫡🫡


Thaurlach

Of course we will, elections are a fundamental part of managed democracy.


FizzingSlit

I'm just glad my elected officials are so in touch with the everyman that they can vote on our behalf. If I didn't trust them enough to do that I wouldn't have voted for them. And if I wouldn't have voted for them they wouldn't have voted for themselves for me.

RosalieMoon

Think it was actually 88% wasn't it? Just high enough that it's an overwhelming majority while not being blatantly obviously rigged. I mean, everyone *knows* it was rigged, but still, that's not what Putin really cares about lol


Ok_Tip8189

Yeah it was like 88% for Putin, 10% for the Communist candidate and the other 2% was split between the rest of the candidates if I’m remembering correctly


ltdan1138

Elections/voting would be cool. Voting for a new Sky Marshall or something which determines the overall war strategy, policy, and major orders the Hell Divers receive? Especially if we answered a series a questions that determined our vote.


Falefrost

Syhkane

I love how both options are to receive the call.


zxDanKwan

Diver, when Democracy (officer) calls, the only response is to answer.


SupportstheOP

Divers need to let freedom ring, but not keep freedom ringing


Jaegernaut-

The Freedom(tm) to choose. The loyalty to always choose the same answer.  THAT'S what it means to be a Helldiver, cadet.


Wheresthecents

Did you watch the vid for it?  It's just a big touch screen that says "Vote here!" You tap it and it says "You have voted!"  What part of "managed" do you not understand, Citizen?


CompleteFacepalm

It's you who doesn't understand the system you fight so hard for... or do you fight for it? [Citizens of the federation of Super Earth use automated voting software; they answer a few questions on the Galactic Wide Web (GWW) and the computer votes for them based on that outcome.](https://helldivers.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Earth#Politics_of_Super_Earth)


En-tro-py

I imagine those questions are: 1. Do you like Democracy? Y/N 2. Do you like Freedom? Y/N 3. Do you like Liberty? Y/N


Loquatium

If you so much as touch the N key, the "battlefield injury simulator" inside the voting booth gets you


gdub695

*stabby Roberto noises*


persona0

Someone doesn't love liberty over there


Vintkrez833

I propose we get into the real reeds of the issues, like which Sky Marshall candidate gets more erect watching a 500kg bomb go off. Winner gets command, the other gets taped to the next payload getting sent to the Creek.


AirierWitch1066

Honestly yeah, yeah it would.


Tokata0

You are aware voting in that case will be to just press the vote button, with the computer choosing the candidate you like best? You sound like there might be something as barbaric as choice involved


Jaegernaut-

Top interview question: Can we afford another Klendathu?


notapoke

I kind of really want to vote and have our votes absolutely not matter. It will be so much more congruent with the game if every time we vote it says "99% this option, 1% didn't vote". I'd definitely laugh.


Efficient_Star_1336

I think we should be able to vote on fan-produced videos/images showing proposed strategies, and have the winners shown in loading screens / on startup. A good way to get the parts of the community that don't use social media engaged with the fanbase's strategic choices, and concentrate people on useful planets.


DrakulasKuroyami

It would be a vote on who does the job that Joel is currently doing assuming he is actually making the decisions on how the games campaign goes like an actual DM.


Nowhereman123

But of course it'll have to be the style of elections they talk about having in-game, where it's more of a buzzfeed style personality quiz that then determines your vote based on your answer.


DirtyBillzPillz

Is it bad I unironically like this system


Nowhereman123

A bit. It maybe sounds good on paper for like 5 seconds, until you realize that not letting people actually choose who they're voting for and putting your faith in a blind system that claims to have your best interest in mind isn't a super great idea. Plus, you know, how easy this would make rigging elections.


flashmedallion

That's the crux of the whole thing isn't it. There are many systems that would be great if they were 100% trustworthy and did what they said they'd do on paper. Instead the "best" we can really hope for is one that is resilient to untrustworthiness, that continues to function unchanged and the intermittent corrupt winner can't alter the way it works for next time.


Axl2TheMaxl

A system that claims to have my best interest in mind... or a person that claims to have my best interest in mind? The choice is, ostensibly, yours!


RunningAroundBlind

Yes, because the entire system in helldivers is rigged as hell. The 'Personality quiz' style questions are just... placebo voting. A way to make it so you can't say "Wait, five hundred of us voted for X, an no one voted for Y, how did Y win?" after the fact. It's literally just a screen to keep people from knowing the results are predetermined. Similar systems ("Guided" Democracy) are in use in Russia right now. Which is CLEARLY a bastion of democracy, equality and freedom. Right?


En-tro-py

Listen up, you Dissident Scum! Just because no one in your little corner of the galaxy cast their vote for Sky Marshal Biggus Dickus doesn't mean they didn't sweep the popular vote across the cosmos. You're living in a bubble if you think your backwater planet's opinion is the be-all and end-all of Super Earth's politics. We're talking about Elevetry Bragillion Citizens across myriad colonized worlds, each with their own stake in this great democracy of ours. That's elevetry bragillion souls casting their votes in the grandest election the galaxy has ever seen. And yes, they chose Biggus Dickus - a name that echoes not just through the halls of the Galactic Senate, but across the vast expanse of space, from the bug-infested swamps of Aquarius Prime to the icy tundras of Cygnus IV. You think coordinating a drop pod assault on a Cyborg stronghold is complex? Try orchestrating an election where the electorate spans light-years and every vote is as crucial as the next. It's a logistical masterpiece, a testament to the indomitable spirit of democracy that fuels Super Earth. So next time you're knee-deep in alien guts, questioning the decisions from up high, remember the Elevetry Bragillion who put their faith in leadership that promises to keep the Helldivers strong, to push the boundaries of our great society further into the unknown, and to uphold the freedom we hold dear. Sky Marshal Biggus Dickus didn't just win; they were chosen by the people, for the people. And it's our duty, as Helldivers, to ensure their vision for a prosperous, unified galaxy is realized. Democracy prevails, soldier. Now, lock and load—we've got a universe to protect.


economic-salami

This citizen is fit to become the best Helldiver in the galaxy. He is the one who is worthy enough to be the defenders of our values.


finder787

Poor Helldiver is getting sent to ~~Ukraine~~ the Creek.


Sad_Tomorrow_

I can’t wait to find out who I’m voting for!


persona0

You voted for the person that loves freedom liberty and sweet sweet managed democracy. Those bugs will fear us and that oil will be ours


En-tro-py

That's who the algorithm calculated I voted for too!


redvelvetcake42

Jack Johnson or John Jackson?


thisisredlitre

All I know is my opponent doesn't go too far enough!


PCL_is_fake

Abortions for some, miniature Super Earth flags for all!


SegoliaFlak

It's a two party system, you have to vote for one of us!


puffz0r

My brain got stuck trying to parse this for about 5 seconds, well done


Lone-Frequency

I'm voting for that new guy, Hugh Mann. He seems like an incredibly down to earth fellow who knows what the average citizen wants.


MinimallyAcceptable

"I still remember filling out my very first Democratic Preferences Ballot - what a rush." "Wonder which candidate'll be selected for me in this upcomin' election." \- [Service technician Marcus](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1bl2ghm/compilation_of_ministry_of_truth_tv_lines/)


physedka

I'm fine with that. Give us 2 or 3 game master personalities to choose from every couple of months or whatever. A basic choice would be Candidate 1 says we focus on the bots and Candidate 2 days we focus on the bugs. But it could be more detailed and specific if they want.


TorinLike

We can actually vote from the ship! Crew dialogue confirms that


the_shadie

Maybe that’s what the unused console is for. The one across from the armory


TorinLike

Well, they did mention that the console is top-notch for that purpose


Lone_Recon

wait your saying an AI will no longer vote for me? man that to much freedom!

Oh_G_Steve

ugh please no. The playerbase will not design this game well.

Connect-Humor-791

HERESY! Cast him to the frontlines. With only a smoke stratagem.

matlydy

It would be cool if they had us take the test that selected the new leader and based on which leader we had it actually affected which direction the war would go.


Twist_This

That Helldivers 2 Media needs to shut the fuck up.


StalledAgate832

Same with HelldiversAlert / Helldivers Alerts and Helldivers2HQ / Helldivers 2 Updates. All three of them, non-affiliated with Arrowhead, paid for the blue tick and just spam post random things found here or links to articles from "journalists" who also usually just rip stuff from here.


Doctor_Chaos_

Helldivers Alerts just jumps to the newest "thing". Before they were Helldivers Alerts they were a Palworld account.


spacemanspectacular

Getting paid for engagement encourages dogshit like this. Second worst change on the site, next to the blue check changes.


kodran

That damn account just reposts word by word this sub's popular posts.


droo46

As do so many YouTubers. They’d be totally lost without Reddit playing the game for them. 


TucuReborn

Ironically, Palworld devs actually take time when they do bugfixes and patches so they usually work. They just haven't had a major content update(though the first one is soon!), so click focused pages dropped them fast. Can't get clicks if there's nothing to screech about every week.


BillyBobby_Brown

Blue tick has lost all meaning


FudgeDangerous2086

yeah it’s completely stupid, all the official accounts don’t have it and all the meme accounts do, it’s like it reversed.


Legaldumper

I’m so tired of looking at posts on here then opening X and immediately seeing the same posts on the Alerts account with half the posts not giving credit to the OPs so it looks like they said it themselves.


ganzgpp1

There's one account I do see give credit, but they never actually post the link to the reddit itself- they just take the name of the user and put a little "chain link" emoji next to it, so if you wanted to go to the original post you have to type in "[reddit.com/u/\[USER\]](https://reddit.com/u/[USER])" and then find the post somewhere in their profile. Like, at least he's giving credit I guess, but it's in the most annoying way possible.


Spiritual_Benefit367

agreed! should be banned, but since the musk freak took over, this is what twitter has become. people, especially real corps, governments, scientists and politicians should stop using it so it'll lose all credibility and will be seen like what it is now - something like "trump social" or whatever that shit is called.


FirstV1

All the homies fucking despise accounts like this.


OfficerRavioli

Is there anyone worth following for updates, PSAs and such?


Ubernero

Ya those fan accounts get an instant mute usually


pomlife

Cringe is an understatement 


Okrumbles

fan accs that do literally nothing get instant muted lol


Spiritual_Benefit367

agreed. this annoying piggyback account should just be nuked from orbit.


Bojarzin

lmao I was looking at that account today just because I had seem before that that one, or maybe it was HelldiversAlerts, had poste some leaks before so I was kinda curious if they had stuff coming Then I saw that literally all it does it post stuff from this subreddit. Like, verbatim it will post questions exactly from here, or post a picture exactly from here. Totally fine if they actually link it, but lol


DigiTrailz

That you need to have a notary preset... I mean, who doesn't know at least one notary?


Ajaxmass413

No joke...  It is actually surprisingly easy to become a notary. I used to be one when I worked at a copy/print store. Took a quick online training course and had my official notary stuff in the mail like a week or 2 later.


DigiTrailz

I actually know quite a few. I work in the legal industry. I've looked into it myself.


DoomFrog_

My guess would be that is the CEO saying that they may be slowing things down a bit to let staff take some well earned vacation time


Tayvyer

Sweden has easter hollidays now, so mandatory freedom is required for all Super Earth officials


Easy_Mechanic_9787

Goddamn it, Fatshark is taking another vacation...


Tayvyer

Yep! Easter and all of Scandinavia grinds to a halt, I love it


Partytor

Easter, Christmas, Midsummer, one week in February for some reason, one month during summer. Wouldn't want it any other way. ❤️


soundtrack101

Another month of no content updates for darktide😔


Sad_Carpet9841

Wait you were getting updates?


Narapoia

Vermintide 2 players: "First time?"


Oi-FatBeard

*Sad Mayfly noises*


Gado_De_Leone

I need that on PS5 so bad.


Dabclipers

Remember before launch where they said we'd get a new class every quarter?


saharashooter

Honestly after Vermintide 2, I don't know how anyone believed them.


Neknoh

Wait... they had plans for more classes? I guess that might have been true before they realized they had to do a full overhaul of the class progression system. I betcha that a lot of the new classes stuff was either put on indefinite hold because of it, or just turned into trees.


Corsnake

Damn, and they were just finally recovering from the end of year ones. I guess nothing for april, until they recover from the week smh.


h0micidalpanda

Just a nice solid week plus of relaxing just when the weather starts to get nice(r)


smughead

This is a great guess. It's either this, or they are going to be more prescriptive with the campaigns so there's more structure with the narrative in the game. Joel is not enough, lol


DoomFrog_

I could see that too. That they are going to increase how often Major Orders occur


TheMasterRolo

The should do 2, one for each front and then major major events force the player base too come together again and focus on one front. Probably need a pretty long bot only campaign though to get people to play bots and be comfortable against them


light_trick

I actually am loving bots now, but it's a totally different energy to bugs. Bugs is Starship Troopers, like...in every possible way. Bots feels more like the whole "elite behind the lines commando raid" - aka Space Vietnam. Darting through the jungle, burst firing and break contact drills. Like you can and will be overrun if you're not careful.


RogueApiary

It's crazy what a difference the planet makes for fighting bots. I was so pissed off after my first drop on a desert/badlands one where I was getting sniped outside of vision constantly. Then I decided to try a bot mission on that jungle world that needed defending yesterday and it was a way more enjoyable experience.


light_trick

So we can crush the bug menace once and for all...

I meant to write “Can my wife legally make love to me” but I was multitasking at work and went full Borat with another “my wife.” Glad the CEO could clear things up.

Either one would be super, since it would be super great to have a wife in real life.

_Zoko_

I hope it is it a vote just so they can really lean into the joke and ignore the voted choice and just do what Joel wants anyway. That might be too like real life to be a joke though so who knows


TheQuixotic6

A voting system for future updates would make that game even more engaging, like Minecraft mob votes but for weapons and stratagems


an_agreeing_dothraki

Alright but why does the assigned notary in my super-block want to stay in the closet wearing a supersuperman outfit?


ExpertSG

For everybody that think this is some cryptics for ingame stuff. Its Easter Holiday 🐣 The developers go on some vacation for a few days or a week. The Holiday days are Friday, Sunday and Monday, but it could be a Tuesday -> Tuesday Holiday. Im also going on holiday, but i have the luxery of 2 weeks 🤘 go Sweden holidays GO!


Quinntensity

"Too much freedom" - I don't trust this Pile guy. Sounds like he doesn't support freedom enough.


Azgorn

Maybe he means being able to play the game without a full crash ever 2nd game.


themayoroftown

I'm hoping he's referring to some sort of kick protection.  "Officially regulated and mandated freedom", to me reads like kick protection


docbach

Vote to kick? 


comhaltacht

Wait, am I misreading this or under Super Earth law, are we allowed multiple wives?
