Most of Europe was too cosy with him, and thats all gone now its clear appeasement / containment / dragging Russia in the west culturally has utterly failed. The entire northern hemisphere seems to be in the initial stages of realigning into 3 great blocks.
And judging by history, those who stand outside them will be crushed between them.
I still have alot of the level layouts burnt into my memory. Several very memorable places you can line the walls with grenades and trivialise MIB ambushes ahead of time :).
Very few games really allow you to build a character that ranges from practically undetectable to rocket launching robot chewing monster in quite the same way, and most of those are its sequels
I don't see how the government could afford this. Even Labour is on a full blown cutting spree.
Interesting development that the plant is being de-prioritised down to secondary generator status. Thats the ongoing clean transition in action there.
Naturally a supposedly green group immediately popped up to complain about getting what they want.
Why not ban Christmas and the colour blue while you are at it
Neighbours to be incentivised to report people who travel in Europe
At time of writing the number of petitions over the lifetime of the system that reached Parliament and then led to law change or action stands at 0. Its a pointless PR exercise in looking like they care. The law on it doesn't even require it to enter the commons, merely to be debated in some back room for half an hour by 3 or 4 mps.
I did see that if you counted up EU stats as a single set of figures instead of country by country the EU would count as the 2nd greatest economy in the world and comfortably ahead of the third. Bet there would much more support for rejoining if that was widely known, it'd show how little chance there is even in principle of making international trader UK work well enough to offset the loss.
This kind of thing always leaves me wondering how stable China really is.
Not because painting dogs is some kind of threat to them but it speaks to real weak attitude to people being fucked over that stuff this blatant is not hard to find.
I kind of always knew believing reddit was some kind of pure platform basically required being a stereotypical Californian but its declined so heavily in the last 10 years.
Its the number of clearly stupid replies you get now that really irritates me, from people who've very clearly not read or understood what you've said. It used to be a place where the average user seemed to be a PHD looking for cat pictures
I wrote that and now I'm imagining being required to take an exam to join a subreddit. Stupid idea but it would probably restore that sort of tone.
I don't know why I find Uncanny so compelling. I don't even believe in this stuff.
I do know now though that any account from anyone remotely tired is totally worthless though. And that you can manufacture ghost experiences just with a few speakers your victim cannot even hear.
Far beyond time for this to be in the bin, I think there is one other country in the world that allows it. Hopefully the day will come when renters are placed on the same footing too, even if its clearly not going to be any time soon.
Also on Groves reforms just happening to include ways for landowners to undermine the entire system while superficially looking good, thats not some accident.
