No kidding. Have you moved away now?

I drive through selkirk most days

yeah, spent a few years in Dundee for uni and am now on the outskirks of Edinburgh. I still head down to see the family down there though, I've spent many many hours on the A7 in my life. does that mean you're still around Melrose then?

Get out of town, where you from? Melrose here.

near enough to Selkirk, close enough that my driving lessons would go through the centre of Melrose

don't worry, it's where mine already was.

but I mean it's worse for me, being from the borders. you can drive 10 miles and the accent has completely switched, each town has its own variety, so any discussion of "scottish accent" is a lost cause immediately

Gen 3 had few options, though Gen 4 was the one where you had just 1 fire option, the starter, until postgame.

and then they put a fire type E4 member for some reason...

Agreed.

Its one thing if there is a single hostage and a thousand terrorists or something.

But its not and several-dozens of innocents die for every terrorist and hundreds-thousands suffer, are injured, homeless or displaced etc.

surprised they aren't going for the standard western technique of "class every man between 16-60 as an enemy combatant so the collateral stats are lower"

Hamas doesn't really seem interested in the safety of their own people.

why should they? it's an excellent recruitment drive against israel letting them just flat out murder thousands and thousands of civilians

if there's one consistent in all politics, it's that voters have short memories. he's got a better chance than he did in 2020

reminder that a couple of elections ago nigel farage finished behind a man dressed as a dolphin called Flipper

again? didn't he get milkshaked last election too

this was always the plan and has been their plan for a long time. they've been doing this for years, crush a residential district or two in "anti-hamas operations", benevolently announce that people can return to their now non-existent homes, and when they can't rebuild because how do you build a new district with no aid, this now prime development location gets snatched up by israeli companies for settlers. and palestine gets a little bit smaller.

voters have very short memories

They've gone to considerable effort to make it clear that they won't be doing any of those things.

true, but then they're not exactly known for keeping promises or even a straight position on anything

I do wonder how much Scotland will come into play again with the current implosion of the SNP.

they're a lot less popular than they were in 2015, but starmer has done scottish labour no favours in the slightest

I'm guessing he wants to be out of power by august so he can take the millions he leeched out of the country and go take a summer trip to a donor's summer house in barbados

it's a half-decent replication of that time he faked a seizure, I guess

And Nazism was to make a 3rd.

So anyone who does the same and says we want a new Reich, that is Nazism. So if Trump points to Reich 1, he is still imitating Hitler.

but WingsOfGood, you're arguing in bad faith here! the quote we put was from WWI, the 2nd reich, not the third! we're not calling for the rise of a new Nazi party by creating a 4th reich, we're... uh... german nationalists now??

the sad thing is that I think neo-nazidom is too strong an external belief for trump to ever have, it's a belief that doesn't revolve directly around him. out of all of the populist takes he could use to get the adulation he wants, it's sad that neo-nazi is the easiest, such desperation

social media's ability to radicalise people has never really been picked up by mainstream media, but it's wild to see in realtime

Yeah you need the bow from Forest Temple to get the map in Fire Temple so you're clearly expected to do Forest first but that's the only thing and it's obviously optional.

not even that, if you go past it then once you pass the moving fire wall you can just climb over the cage and jump down.

the first time through? Shadow, because it was more easily accessible. but the true answer is "it's an open-world game, do whichever you want first". Navi pushes you to forest, fire, water, shadow, spirit in that order when you listen to her "HEY", but as mentioned you can do fire before entering forest, water before entering fire (though not forest), etc.

In my eyes, it depends on the sauce. Technically, a stroganoff uses spaghetti, no? However, for the classic spaghetti with meatballs, I am good with or without mushrooms.

stroganoff's a russian dish, was probably served with potato originally. I don't think it's ever had a "traditional" pairing, it just refers to the main thing

There has to be a political reason to put that story in the book. That kind of thing would not get past an editor without a good reason. My theory is that she knew it would get the media to talk about it, and allow herself to go on Fox News and defend herself. It would give her lots of free publicity, which is exactly what happened.

you're making the same mistake people have been making about the current crop of right-wingers in the US and the UK for the past 10 years. Assuming that there are calculated reasons for their dumb behaviour. the truth is the simplest answer: no, they REALLY ARE that dumb.

Will also add that Tories are losing votes to reform who are another right wing party coming to prominence. Heres a snip from Reddit that I agree with:

not to sound anti-democracy, but Reform works nicely as an idiot filter for election results. just pares out the dumbest of voters from the result

C_Pain posted...

I still don't know what labour and tories even are. Brits and their damn weird terms lmao!

making a very rough analogy, this was more like a House election than anything more major. it was elections for very local representatives and for regional mayors. not to do with overall country control, the councillors elected don't get any vote on legislation, but very much a leading indicator for how the major elections will go.

labour are the comparatively left major party (democrat) and conservatives are the comparatively right major party (republican, but like the GOP they've swung much farther right than they were 10-15 years ago). This result is basically like if the republicans got slaughtered in the House, but a large number of those seats went to Greens or independents or other minor parties instead of to the Democrats

I'm guessing he's going to be cast as gus fring again

Thanatos_the_Great posted...

Not really. In 1997, while a desire to just get rid of the Tories was certainly a big factor, Tony Blair had a strong personal appeal and many voters were enthusiastic about him. The same can't be said of Starmer.

This. the interesting stat from these English council election results is not just that the Conservatives have been slaughtered, it's also how much of that swing Labour have actually picked up. 448 losses from the Tories sounds great for Starmer, but they only picked up 173. the other 300ish are spread across the Lib Dems, Greens and Independents, it really doesn't paint much confidence in the current Labour party

a policy illegal under both international and UK law, that's noted as more expensive - pound-per-migrant - than the current policies, and completely ignores the backlogs in migration requests that are causing the issues in the first place.

the tory party truly has been on a race to the bottom since the brexit vote, each PM has been shitter than the last. when rats flee the ship, only the dumbest ones get left on the boat

the wild part is this decision only panders to the gammon-faced racists who are outraged that they might have to live next door to a minority because "this is a white christian country britain isn't british anymore". you know, the group who were already gonna vote tory.

Toon Ganon from the WW is one of the few ganons to my knowledge to collect all the pieces but still gets his ass kicked the same as every other.

he gets his ass kicked because the triforce is stolen from him before he ever gets to use it. he gets distracted after forming it. its power is only used to reflood hyrule, ganon never actually uses it.

turkish delight's taste is whatever you flavour it with. in the UK it tends to be rosewater flavoured, but there's lemon, walnut, etc. it's like saying "ice cream doesn't taste great", disregarding the idea of flavours.

the soft gelatinous texture might not be to someone's taste but texture appeals to different people.
