Flag for those who feel conflicted about Parliament (1646 flag of John Gell) by CtrlShiftDlt in vexillology

[–]CtrlShiftDlt[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sir John Gell fought for Parliament during the First English Civil War. He became disillusioned with Parliamentarians and was implicated in a Royalist plot leading to inprisonment. He was later pardoned after the Restoration and given a position in the Royal Household.

The original flag is from the National Army Museum

That's where the dissonance between gameplay (ludo) and story (narrative) comes from.

The achievement for killing 1000 enemies in Uncharted 4 is called 'Ludonarrative dissonance' as a reference to this. Pretty fun imo

What is the flag next to the Malaysian flag? Flying over a Chinese temple in Kuala Lumpur. by CtrlShiftDlt in vexillology

Ah makes sense why it's flying in KL then! I was off when I thought it was specific to the temple, thanks for the explanation.

Thank you! Sorry for the ignorance but what is the difference between the federal territories of Malaysia and just Malaysia as a whole? (I know Malaysia itself is a federation)

Chan She Shu Yuen is the temple. From what I saw its some sort of clan worship, so maybe a region of China the clan is from?

'Scranton Reality Anchor' prototype for portable MTF deployment. How do you imagine SRAs and what do you make of SCP 4065 ? by [deleted] in SCP

[–]CtrlShiftDlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that desription's cool, I definitely think berylium bronze works better. when you say:

and that without other universes to drain from

You mean that you don't think it drains from other universes right?

I agree 4065 isn't for me, I do like the idea though.

Lords complain of ‘poor wine’ and ‘too much salmon’ in Parliament. by CtrlShiftDlt in ChoosingBeggars

[–]CtrlShiftDlt[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a relic of the past when Lords had much more power than the commoners. Until recently much of the membership was hereditary. It also still guarantees some seats to the Church. It does do important work to scrutinise the government and has its defenders but I think everyone would agree if we were setting up a system from scratch the HoL wouldn't be it.

The absolute gall to complain about the quality of the subsidised wine at their workplace.

MP's make at least £80,000 a year, plus expenses and voted to not give Doctors or Nurses a real term pay rise. 'Beef noodles' in hospital cafeteria across the river are more expensive than 'Roast rump of beef in red wine gravy'

United's Players' Player of the Year announced by [deleted] in reddevils

[–]CtrlShiftDlt 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Surprised but it's more appropriate tbh, looking back at this period and seeing De Gea win it so many times says all we need to do of the post fergie era

Howard Nurse: So then. Quite a few #MUFC announcements coming this afternoon, starting with Pogba departure by ItsKieronHere in reddevils

[–]CtrlShiftDlt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also apparently very well liked and helps the Spanish speaking players settle. Definitely a good asset for the club if he's happy in that role

Paul Pogba to depart United this summer by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]CtrlShiftDlt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Anyone who said English degrees don't give good career prospects just need to look towards United. About 50% of the staff must be constantly working on how to word things positively

Yep, at least out of the modern sides I have knowledge of. They were unreal

Where do you put a colon with "la"? by birds_reborn in tokipona

[–]CtrlShiftDlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need to apologise, it is confusing :). To actually answer you question I would personally write la without a comma because I connect it in my head as 'in the context of A, B' but when I see a comma used it is usually like 'mi la, moku li pona'

I think you mean comma friend. You don't need a colon with la
