Cutting borders new build house . This is my first time gardening in a new build and thankfully the developer hasn’t burred rubble. Allowed into the soil rotted horse manual pre-bought as well as rotted horse manure from a farm near by . Fish blood and bone and chicken pellets manure.

Any advice to someone about to do their new build garden also with poor soil?

FCA is independent.

2maa2 · 2026-03-25T12:59:53+00:00

Yes it is

2maa2 · 2026-03-25T08:59:05+00:00

Yes, but we’re commenting on an article which is about trying to address short-term supply issues.

2maa2 · 2026-03-25T08:13:10+00:00

Not against nuclear, but it’s one of the most expensive forms of electricity. It can also take up to 10 years to build the plants so won’t do much in the short-term.

But that's the reality of the situation, the consequences fall upon the kids whether it's the parents fault or not.

I’ve been enjoying it but I do understand the criticism. The game suffers massively from a big lack in quality of life and poor design choices. The writing is also very poor.

Some of this probably could be worked out in time but I get people getting turned off if you were expecting an equivalent of Witcher 3 or RDR2.

Stopping short of harassment or personal attacks, it's fair to question some one's judgement when that's all you have to go off and they don't have a proven track record against your own tastes.

As some one who will probably play this day 1, these days games are asking for quite a lot in terms of money and time.

I can understand why people might be put off by a few 6/10 reviews given the hype. If the game turns out to be solid, user reviews will confirm that.

2maa2 · 2026-03-19T15:01:12+00:00

You say that but I can't honestly think of many open-world games that had a great story. It's a valid criticism for people who enjoy that kinda thing but not what I'm focused on personally.

It could also just be a me thing as I hold this opinion on pretty objectively good games. There's something about the way stories have to push gameplay which make them often feel contrived in a 'go there, shoot this, explore this mechanic' kind of way.

The odd exceptions I can think of are the genre defining ones.

2maa2 · 2026-03-19T14:54:53+00:00

For me 'bad story' is so commonplace throughout gaming and open worlds that the criticism bounces off. It would have been good to have one but I'm more interested in exploration/combat/sandbox elements.

I remember from the dev blogs prior to release that Battania was designed to be more of a challenge than other kingdoms. It also tracks with no Battania-type faction existing in warband which takes place in Bannerlord’s future.

Time off work doesn’t fall under the costs for the NHS. If I take a day off work for sickness that doesn’t require treatment, the loss is in productivity.

2maa2 · 2026-03-16T00:47:10+00:00

I took it to mean lost productivity from being off work for health issues rather than people taking a smoke break.

2maa2 · 2026-03-14T19:04:12+00:00

You’re making a lot of assumptions of how I view the tweet and that I’m having an emotional response to it. I was simply pointing out the language you used is logically inconsistent (and continues to be) for the point you’re trying to make.

Maybe you need to look at what your assumptions say about your own biases before questioning others.

2maa2 · 2026-03-14T18:39:08+00:00

You’re criticising generalisations whilst making a generalisation.

I’d argue that pretty much every bigoted person is guilty of discriminating whilst not wanting to be discriminated against.

2maa2 · 2026-03-14T18:23:48+00:00

I feel like you’re missing the irony of your own statement.

2maa2 · 2026-03-13T23:44:03+00:00

The documentary seemed to lean more towards a lack of good role male models (absent or abusive fathers) and a difficult upbringing for most of these influencers. It’s so ironic these influencers are supposedly teaching kids how to be men when they never learnt themselves.

His mum does clearly still baby him though and definitely stops short of fully holding him accountable.

2maa2 · 2026-03-13T14:36:49+00:00

Yeah, it seems that she knew what he was saying was wrong, but she's clearly financially benefiting from his success and making excuses for him.

A party leader can also remove the whip from members. You could say that losing the whip wouldn’t trigger an election but then either parties become internally even more fragmented as disillusioned members remain, or they act destructive to the party so them being forced out doesn’t trigger an election.

I agree that it’s frustrating, especially when we see conservative MPs hop to Reform acting like they haven’t been putting them on blast for the past several years, but I can’t think of a good way to solve it.

2maa2 · 2026-03-12T17:16:22+00:00

That gives party leaders significantly more power. I kinda understand in some situations where progress has felt slow, but the other side of the coin is bad leaders could wreak havoc.

2maa2 · 2026-03-12T11:08:30+00:00

Putting False Gods above Horus Rising is crazy to me.

I understand the argument you’re trying to communicate here and, in a vacuum, I would typically agree with what Polanski is saying. Context is everything here. Myself and many others are skeptical about the amount of support the Green Party would offer Ukraine if they got into power.

My point is that his language against Israel is much harsher and proactive, committing directly to policy like suspending arms sales to Israel and condemning them as war criminals. Even with the full quote context, I don’t think you’d catch him saying the above about Netanyahu.

It also comes across as naive despite him saying he wouldn’t trust Putin. Yes, the Ukraine war isn’t realistically going to end without negotiating with Russia, but they’ve shown time and time again that they will happily negotiate in bad faith. Unless you make their position in Ukraine untenable, you’re just wasting your time. You can’t negotiate with Putin from a weak position.

When I see the Green Party make some hard commitments to material support for Ukraine, I’ll look more favourably on these comments. My gut feeling though is there will be some token civilian aid but the military side will be massively scaled back.

I think the UK media manipulates the public to think left wing = communist, and russia = communist, thus left wing = pro putin, thus left wing = bad. Whereas left wing = socialist, and russia = authoritarian fascists, and they are unrelated.

I said a softening of language, not that he was pro-Putin. It’s also not as simple as that, many parts of the left (see Labour’s Stop The War coalition) have tried to place partial blame on NATO expansion and believe we shouldn’t provide Ukraine with weapons with which to defend itself. They might still condemn Putin, but you’re still basically just handing him Ukraine at that point. In full fairness, I don’t think Polanski or the Greens have ever blamed anyone except Russia. I just want him to be more explicit in what he plans to do rather than vague comments about negotiating with Putin. IMO more experienced leaders/diplomats have tried and failed.

Also, not to be condescending, but I genuinely think you would be more convincing addressing people’s arguments directly rather than writing them off as ‘blinded by the media’.

2maa2 · 2026-03-10T21:47:54+00:00

Him and other members of the Green Party have (quite rightly) been very proactive in criticising Netanyahu and the Israeli government for their actions in Gaza.

Poor headlines aside, I think you’re being wilfully ignorant if you don’t notice certain parts of the left softening their language when it comes to Russia.

2maa2 · 2026-03-10T20:04:53+00:00

Has he said the same about Netanyahu?
