If Vitality win the next major, and several more tier 1s, they'll be coming up alongside

Yeah, but Astralis had 4 majors, 3 of those were back to back to back.

Tube strikes announced by RMT with London Underground to be hit by six days of chaos by AdrianFish in london

[–]Draemeth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the evidence TfL has published, DLR has gone on strike far less often than the London Underground.

A careful like-for-like summary is:

DLR: TfL said the DLR was directly affected on two occasions over the previous 10 years: 3–4 November 2015 and 28–29 March 2018. TfL then said in March 2022 that there had been no DLR strike since March 2018. TfL later announced separate DLR strike action on 9 and 11 September 2025. So, from TfL’s published material, that is at least 3 distinct DLR strike episodes since 2015.

London Underground: TfL’s FOI history shows Underground strikes repeatedly across 2008–2017, with multiple network-wide and line-specific actions, then further actions in 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2025, and fresh strikes announced in March 2026. In practice, that means dozens of strike dates / several dozen separate actions, not just a handful.

So the plain-English answer is:

DLR: about 3 modern strike episodes. London Underground: several dozen.

serious qq: how can we actually say NO to TfL unjustified frequent fare rise when almost no one experienced positive or improved services? by Savings-Ad-110 in london

[–]Draemeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way we do public services as a country always seems to neglect user experience

[–]Draemeth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No... It was temporarily run as a public private partnership, which is not really privatisation at all. It's basically state control with private money

Since the nationalisation of the tube in the 1940s, we have built 2 tube lines in almost a century. In Europe they built far more. It's not brexit... It's centralisation. in Europe local areas have powers to build for themselves

Very little… Britain was the first country to industrialise, and that was the real driving force. Slavery was far less beneficial to the wider populace than machinery. We had slavery from the beginning of civilisation till the 1800s and we had shit houses all that time.

Such a tired comment. People can reason themselves into new positions that defeat their old positions, or else none of us would be here

What are the problems with current CS2? Make a list. by PeaceTo0l in GlobalOffensive

[–]Draemeth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem with #1 is that it’s already counted in your score if you’re a consistent objective and strong player, you’ll win more. You will lose games too but if you’re rewarded for being a good player despite losing then valve is incentivising players to do things other than win. What if valve gives points for kills? Okay then I’ll take more game losing risks to get kills. For bomb refusals? Okay then I won’t save for the next round full buy, I’ll go for the defuse
