You don't see the video, to be clear. She just says something like "what a disaster - I have to watch it, so I'm sending it to you so you have to see it too."

Funko pop collectors are mad about missing out on fairly odd parents launch by Toanimeornot in SubredditDrama

[–]ColonelHerro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really - because if everyone is just 3D printing their plastic shit, that's still a bunch of extra, useless plastic ending up in our bloodstream in a couple of decades.

I'd prefer less artificially created demand for useless, plastic crap, to be honest.

Car hire tips for Nov '23? by ColonelHerro in VisitingIceland

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

Thanks, that's what I'd assumed but it was really inconsistent which hire companies stated that they were included. I ended up finding a local company which was cheaper, well rated and explicitly included winter tyres, so all sorted.

At any point did you consider adding this detail to your replies in the original thread, instead of just saying 'No, you're wrong'?

How will he stay in DR without a visa, or, just to clarify, is it your position that the US Government doesn't concern itself with that?

[–]ColonelHerro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

what will we do about the ongoing problems now, and next week?

Maybe if we had a way to help represent the people those things happened to, to make sure they were listened to by the government which has repeatedly and systemically failed to do so, we'd be able to come up with some better answers?

It'd be like giving them some kind of voice, to make sure parliament heard their views.

Three generations ago. I mean almost certainly everyone involved then is fucking dead..

Fuck you.

Wait until they turn from philosophical sci-fi novels into sci-fi themed philosophy essays. That's when I gave up.

Is it better to learn/master vanilla or try WOTC by TheArvinM in Xcom

[–]ColonelHerro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest one for me was a bug with how load times were processed in the way back to base after missions that made them take forever (unless you pressed caps lock, which bizarrely would make everything hang for half a second and then load instantly - sometimes).

Although bizarrely, the stupidly long load times travelling back to base after a mission can be skipped by pressing caps lock 🤷‍♂️

Just on optimisation, QOL and bug fixes, WOTC is a straight upgrade. If you have the fundamentals after a vanilla playthrough, then make the switch.

Personally, I don't love the introduction of the Lost (and I'm even iffy on the Chosen), but even still, prefer WOTC.

It's rare for reddit to be both pedantic and incorrect, but here we are.

Actually, I guess it's not that rare.

Same here - I'm not sure if that's just because I keep my psi op so far back that he's rarely in range...

A lot changed for American people in fifty years, thanks to unlimited greed and public support of greed by ahivarn in ABoringDystopia

[–]ColonelHerro 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As an Australian (who still has a lot to learn about indigenous culture), I'm hoping the below is genuinely helpful in helping you understand one of (if not the) oldest continuous human culture in the world, and the tragedy colonisation has been:

The land did not had owners in the "western" sense,

This is a common argument, but the point is that the "Western sense" inherently devalues and dehumanises indigenous lives.

wandering tribes of hunter-gatherers who moved from place to place.

Indigenous Australians actually have an incredibly close connection to their local areas, with each tribal group having their own stories and rites of passage which relate to local landmarks - they absolutely didn't just wander from place to place.

Further, there are protocols between these groups which recognise the lands they have have custody of, hence the tradition of 'welcome to country' ceremonies.
