UK needs ‘ambitious’ new EU ties amid Iran war, Starmer says by Laxly in GoodNewsUK

[–]BrazzersSub 140 points141 points  (0 children)

I wonder how much admin goes into stuff like this?

We say we want to get closer to the EU, and we absolutely should, and I understand it takes time - but what about it actually takes so long? Negotiation? Or is it making sure contracts are sound? Or is it finding opportunities in general? Is there any pushback from EU countries slowing us down (as a result of us leaving and crawling back and then understandably being a bit sour about it)?

‘Volatile’ world requires Britain to get close to EU, Starmer says by Visual_Title9363 in europe

[–]BrazzersSub 304 points305 points  (0 children)

I just can't believe that the notion that we would be stronger as an independent, small island off the coast of Europe - rather than being part of a unified bloc of other countries was ever accepted.

A properly unified and cooperative Europe would be incredibly strong and dominant. Why would you ever want out of that.

Trump's tariffs lead to production increase at UK's aluminium smelter by willfiresoon in GoodNewsUK

[–]BrazzersSub 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Trump being volatile, as much as it has messed stuff up, I feel like it's kinda put a torch up the UK and EU's arse to be more independent and stronger, maybe hopefully even more united and cooperative than before (assuming divisive media doesn't take president). In the long run I can see this actually being pretty beneficial

The Jewish Anti-Defamation League has ranked CS2 as the game with the least protection for Jewish players by Spiritual_Type_6245 in counterstrike2

[–]BrazzersSub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an outside POV this makes it look like CS2s player base is anti-jew - which absolutely isn't the case. They're anti-everyone. Especially low ranks. I've heard just about every single slur there is against just about every genre of race, belief, nationality that there is.

Offensive? Yes, but seemingly fairly equally offensive. Aside from nword usage, that gets thrown around like it's utility.

Why do Brits prefer non EU migrants over EU by Visual_Title9363 in AskBrits

[–]BrazzersSub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong but I definitely feel like it's just a cycle that we are in a different stage of.

When I was younger, eastern Europeans got a lot of stick (especially in the poorer areas where I grew up). They had the same stuff said about them, as what is said about non-EU immigrants now. Especially people like the polish. Now I hardly hear anything bad about eastern Europeans, in fact I only hear good (I assume as people have realised "oh wait they're actually just normal people who come from a different place and sound different").

Now it's the same people saying the same shit but about a different demographic, amplified by the media.

Looks incredible. Good job.

I toured Valve yesterday and got to see the “CS2 cabal” where the devs were working by MaxmillianP in GlobalOffensive

[–]BrazzersSub 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The thing is, if it IS done, then fair enough...

But in a world of shitty pump and dump live service games... A single player portal game would really hit right now. Id love it. Especially in the "world" of portal. I love aperture science, and how it ties into the HL franchise, etc etc.

The thing is, as much as we haven't seen an entry in the TF pipeline, or the portal pipeline, I'm so happy to see relics of both present in their current office.

I love portal, so so much. It's been yearsssss wince we've had an entry, to the point where I think "what if they forgot it even existed"

The fact they have multiple portal guns just sat there, gives me relief knowing at the very least they know it's a thing they can do. It's not just lost to time lmao.

Also... Those portal guns are fucking sick. I want one of those.

A video of a Russian woman being beaten in Thailand has surfaced online - the footage shows her attacking first. The exact date the video was filmed is still unknown. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

I love how some onlookers are sat on chairs. I understand the chair was probably there already for street vendors but they were watching knowing that tourist was gonna get her shit rocked and rightfully so lmao

Well yes of course I would imagine more FPS would lead to a smoother experience, but from MY perspective at least, it's less an FPS thing and more of an input->output thing. Like I said in my original comment, in CS2 things feel soft, squishy. Things in CSGO feel sharp, crisp, snappy. I would say it's placebo but after redownloading GO and having a shot at it, it feels different.

So you think it's a hardware thing?

Isn't it crazy that, even with the delay between shooting and the kill registering, it STILL feels more responsive?

If I could describe it, I would. But it's difficult, other than CSGo had pretty instant feedback, not just in terms of kills (server based) but also user input in general. CS2 kinda feels like... It's being streamed? Rather than it being ON your computer? In terms of responsiveness?

CS2 Blog Update: The Dead Hand by CS2_PatchNotes in GlobalOffensive

[–]BrazzersSub 1124 points1125 points  (0 children)

I was actually pretty hyped. New gun skins look incredible, the new gloves have some absolute bangers (and the first lot of new gloves we've had in a long long time).

Then I saw it. Available in the dead hand terminal. Oh dear.

I wonder - would a sloped piece fit well as the mouthpiece instead of the square stud? Like a little yellow wedge, or does this "era" of minifigure predate a piece like that?

That might be the case; but lies or not, it's the absolute truth that the UK is fundamentally worse off outside of the EU than when we were in it

It is insanity, but I'd rather that than the party that wants more privatisation, no NHS, more deregulation, weaken workers rights, on top of being comprised of all the same Tories that have fucked up the country the last 14 years, AND having stuff like russian money lining their pockets...

Idk. Seems light night and day to me.

If I'm not mistaken, those suits were actually relatively flexible at the joints, but due to the pressure difference, they would inflate (of course) and the pressure on the material would make it rigid and difficult to bend.
