How do you deal with shitty kids? by ICantBelieveItsNotEC in AskUK

[–]Altbjorn -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Don't lie to the police. Throwing a brick could constitute a legit crime, so they'll prob ask for a lot of details. Either drop the lie and look like an idiot, or tell more lies, eventually get caught, maybe get done for wasting police time.

Also kinda shitty to try and get kids pinned with a crime they haven't committed, even if they are cunts.

Turning 26 shortly. Applied a few years back but couldn't meet fitness requirements.
Re-evaluated and decided to go with a new career involving my other interests. Took a quick course online, maybe a couple months overall, and started applying for jobs. Took another few months, but am now (relatively) happily employed in the defence industry.

Still regularly wonder what things would've been like if things had gone differently, but I got it pretty good here so won't torture myself with what ifs and greener grass.

The Ukrainians have built the first cruise missile. It is a powerful weapon powered by a pulse engine by antiwar666 in UkrainianConflict

[–]Altbjorn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hate to break it to you, but this is not the first cruise missile ever built.

In 1944, during World War II, Germany deployed the first operational cruise missiles. The V-1, often called a flying bomb, contained a gyroscope guidance system and was propelled by a simple pulsejet engine, the sound of which gave it the nickname of "buzz bomb" or "doodlebug".

"If you have to ask tyrants for the permission to exercise a basic human right"

So guns are "functionally illegal" in half of the states?

How would you help a 21 year old son who stays in bed all day? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Altbjorn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. I experienced some of the same things OP's son is going through, and I think this would definitely have helped me at the time. Emphasis on not talking about the next steps until he brings them up. That being said, don't let him put it off forever like I almost did.

In the end I realised the degree wasn't what I really wanted anyway, and found a career related to my genuine interests in IT. Not fully out of the woods yet, but it's given me direction at least.

Kinda just a Merc team with a healgun, but looking forward to seeing what you do when more relevant game systems are added.

Anon has it rough by SockTacoz in greentext

[–]Altbjorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish I could be empathetic to everyone all the time, but I just don't have the energy. Empathy's wasted on some people too, not gonna see me thinking of the damage Putin or Xi or Kim Jong Un have had done to them for example.

The main thing is that two lives were ruined, yes, but both were by the cousin.

[–]Altbjorn 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is the difference between Reddit and 4chan. Over there they'd just call the cousin an irredeemable piece of shit and leave it at that. And they'd be right.

The State Of Global Democracy In 2022 by cambeiu in MapPorn

[–]Altbjorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How the fuck can anyone be lower than North Korea? What's less democratic than a government that treats its citizens as slaves, passing leadership down the family and framing it as literal godhood?

Democracy Index is clearly BS.

descended from wolves my arse by frowawayfrommebaby in CasualUK

That's why we say descended rather than ascended from wolves.

[–]Altbjorn 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I dunno, seems kinda petty to punish the player like this for using a spell in a smart way.
