Same banality of evil that causes millionares row in New York to mostly just be a bunch of empty skyscrapers. Property makes an excellent investment vehicle and restricting the supply keeps prices high.

I feel like moderate and centre are the biggest lies in modern media/politics. It always involves giving the right half of what they want (ultimately everything they want just slower) and giving the left nothing. When the platform is right wing but slower its not moderate its just right wing.

Well now he's calling for a new election in the UK (presumably to put the right wing bac in) so looks like he's not happy with just proxy ruling America.

More like the UK government (and every damn government since I've been alive) just hates housebuilding and will come up with any reason to prevent it.

Ooh ooh! And then the next one is "They deserve it because they take on all the risk"! while getting endless bailouts and complete immunity from all liability.

We have the same FPTP 2 party issue as the US.

Ok so counter-argument, the UK is also a terrible example when it comes to getting things done (safely or not), our government is even worse than the United States when it comes to intentionally fucking up and delaying things in order to funnel public funds into the hands of donors/cronies. Hell we're already projected to spend more on a high speed rail project that isn't even high speed by the standards of anywhere else on earth than the EU is spending on their entire half a continent spanning rail network upgrades.

This channel looks kinda sus but the clip is just a re-post and highly relevant. https://youtu.be/KFyxDKw6DZc

Nah you gotta balance the number of syllables in each word to make it catchy. "Dead Moms Law" or "Mommy Murder Law"

So landmines fucking suck, Really they shouldn't be used, maiming children and other random people for generations to come. Unfortunately they're also pretty damn effective, and with the US almost certainly pulling support for Ukraine next year the moral high ground doesn't mean much when you're dead.

So I commented this before, Russia spends the same amount on its nuclear arsenal as the UK, while claiming a far larger arsenal. Even accounting for differences in currency value (so cheaper labour) and assuming Russia has some magical efficiency gains in maintenance its still not enough to even come close to maintaining an arsenal that size. Nukes need the fissile material swapped out every couple of decades or they're just really expensive dirty bombs.

This puts Russia in the position where if they launch a single nuke as a warning there's a genuine chance that it might just fizzle, if that happens it would be crippling to their apperance as a nuclear armed state on the world stage, the embarassment of crossing the ultimate red line with nothing to show for it.

So i guess the answer is the sabre is pretty rusty and it might not snap when rattled but there is a chance it snaps when Putin goes in for a real stab.

I agree the main story isn't that re-playable, though I'd say phantom liberty is worth 2 playthroughs because the endings diverge pretty heavily and actually have gameplay to go with them. I find the best way to play it is to do minnimal main story, crank up the difficulty, maybe install some mods and then play it as an rpg with all the side gigs.

Installed just using Vortex Mod Manager, played on very hard and trying to pick the stats and gear that I think I would pick if I actually got isekai'd into cyberpunk or something, also no crafting guns except when home at my apartment.

My country is currently doing a big anti-crime campaign and I was there for a family members trial as moral support. It became grossly clear that anti-crime just means prossecuting everyone and anyone regardless of guilt to pump up conviction numbers. The prosecution was given 6 months to prepare, the defense was given a single day; the prosecution was explicitly allowed to present evidence in any context including oppenly censored conversations, the defense wasn't even allowed to present evidence unless it was deemed relevant by the prosecution.

Totally shattered what little faith I had in my countries legal system, I always knew it was rigged in favour of the wealthy but to see just how blatantly tilted it is in favour of convictions was a big shock.

27 years old here, its gone to complete shit. Last mcdonalds I tried was just weirdly uniform mush with barely any discernable flavour.

Nah that's not the respawn period that's the early levelling, gotta unlock NG+ so you can skip the tutorial and get back to questing immediately.

Very interesting use case but kind of dependant on this very specific setup? I feel like an even more efficient and low maintenance method would be like... a ramp.

Pathfinder 2e is really good. Its a little more complex than 5e but you have a lot more character variety in terms of crunch which then spills over into more interesting roleplay. Its also pretty hard to make a useless character unless you just straight up try to on purpose.

Same shit as always, the (relative) left actually does make an attempt to keep its promises but no on hears about it because the right wing own 90% of the media.

I have literally never seen internet above 40 mbps, even in the middle of Glasgow. Is this based on actual useable internet speeds or just the connection speed to the nearest relay down the street?
