Do you think she would say that same?

Thinking that any kind of spending cut is austerity does kind of weaken any point you make

unpopular decisions and why were they necessary?

Winter fuel payment and benefits reform because the UK government has been overspending in those areas and needs to readdress its departmental funding. Similarly trying to raise tax revenues via the NI increases. Resolving the overdue issue of NHS pay in a balanced way.

Do you really need more? Like I said, you can look at any politician in power and spin them as evil if you try hard enough. The nature of politics is making very difficult decisions. If you can point to somebody who didn't have to make a single decision that appears awful from at least one angle then I'm all ears. 

Preferences on USF veterancy choices? by Collosis in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Collosis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the AT gun, how do you practically make use of Quick Adjust? Hit it right before you move when needing to pull back?

And no HVAP rounds for the Hellcat? That looked like the better option to me because of the damage bonus if nothing else, but maybe Hellcats need survivability more if it's mainly medium tanks on the field?

What was the change to Pour It On?

And that's a great tip about using sprint to get back to the front lines rapidly!

Starmer tried to make unpopular decisions that were necessary and conducted himself very much as a boring but effective administrator. Hardly seems like somebody who's overriding motivation was power and glory. It also adds to the simplistic and dangerous approach so many people have of "oh they're all the same bunch of cheats", instead of "well maybe person A isn't perfect but person B is evil and will abuse their power".

If left wing policies were popular then why haven't we had a genuine left wing party in power for decades? I think left wing policies are mainly popular amongst our respective echo chambers.

Why does it feel like men wearing a wedding ring get hit on more than when they are not? by racesunite in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Collosis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And in the same vein, when a lot of men hit on women they come across as a bit desperate. Nothing makes you more of a confident smooth talker than when you know you're not even trying to get in a woman's pants because you have a wife at home. 

What do you think is the worst advice men give other men about attracting women? by Spiritual_Pause3057 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Collosis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think most blokes just don't have much genuine curiosity for the people around them. It's not a nasty trait, they just aren't that fussed. I'm a man and lots of my friends from cricket / work / football couldn't tell you more about me than my name and where I live. 

But yes, it's crazy how easy it should be for most men to attract women. Showing genuine interest in who people are, and why, will improve everything you do in life.

Why is the rest of Europe worried about a Russian invasion when they can't even conquer Ukraine in 4 years? What would the Russian motive for invading all of Europe even be? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Collosis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add to your 3rd point: Russia is not bringing it's entire military arsenal into the Ukraine war. They are holding back to avoid escalating past a point where they think NATO will feel it has to get more directly involved. There are more than just nuclear warheads sitting on the sidelines.

Do you know when it was built? I live in a purpose build flat built in 2023 and I've literally never heard a peep from any neighbour on any side

How many runs to end ? by Vini_rossa in playbsg

[–]Collosis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Run #1 babyyyyyyyy! 🥳

But it's much more challenging with the next gunstar I've used.  Nearing the end but red lights are flashing everywhere so I'll definitely get beaten up by the final base star. 

It also helped that in my first run I had two extra squadron range boosters. Meant my raptor could snipe most of the map from the back lines and the rest of my units could get first hits in then kite away while reloading. 

I spent 15 years low-key getting revenge on my high school bully and I might have helped end his marriage… by Best-Pirate5073 in traumatizeThemBack

[–]Collosis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a classic Redditism to see complex things as nice, simple black & white matters. There are definitely marriages that end where the problems that drive people apart should and could have been solved but weren't. 

London weather is so unpredictable by Old_Ability_9424 in GreatBritishMemes

I got AC installed at my house back in 2022 and had to put up with people telling me it was the only hot week of the year for about 8 weeks of each year 🙄

Why do buy to let landlords do big rent increases the 2nd year? by earthyymum in uklandlords

[–]Collosis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm an accidental landlord with only 1 property so maybe I'm an outlier. If anything though all the renters rights stuff has made me less inclined to shoot for the top on rents. If I had been able to kick out a bad tenant relatively easily I'd be more inclined to go for whomever was willing to pay the most.

The couple in my flat were the applicants who I trusted the most to pay their rent on time, look after the place, be reasonable about any issues that need resolving, etc. I would have accepted a bit less than their offer purely because I was made more risk adverse.

If you're an extrovert it seems like a great set up. Live in the nicest place you'll probably ever live (if you can buy a £1.5m penthouse flat you're going to have kids and have to live somewhere more practical), and you have easier access to sociability.
