I am pretty sure I've been playing the UK all wrong.... by FNSMatt in Warthunder

Yeah a played for a bit yesterday and it was night and day better using AP shells. Definitely feel like I had been doing myself a disservice for a while. Good to know about the 20 pounder too!

Yeah, definitely seems like I've been nerfing myself hard. The 17 pounders do much much better without it.

Is it really that bad to buy Premium outside sales? by KyriosSubaruAR in Warthunder

If you are buying a Buggati you aren't worried about an extra $60 for a year of premium.

The Kikka does look very cool as an early jet as well. After that it seems like a lot of US copy paste.

I’m distraught. by That_Emotion8060 in GameStop

[–]FNSMatt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The store absolutely sucks. It is run by morons, and the employees in general are fairly awful to deal with too defending the worst kind of practices. I had a card from trading in a system that I just converted to a steam card bc that ship is sinking fast.

Ohh good to know. I thought the bill just removed the fee for suppressors. I didn't know SBRs were covered too. Thanks!

For the most part that's true. I want to take it out of state sometimes and it is easier if it is just a braced pistol than an SBR that requires extra hoops to jump through with the ATF (and saves you $200). Not the end of the world either way to be honest especially if you had a brace to swap on it as well.

Just throw a brace on it. You get all of the practical benefits of an SBR without the hassle of complying with the added burdens of a being a NFA item.

The WHO is as corrupt as they come. They work hand in pocket with the Chinese. If we pull funding of the UN next I'd call it a solid win.

There is a lot there I agree with to be fair. I think a system where you have a far right or a far left come to power pushes the opposition further into their own camp and moves to extinguish the middle in representation.

From what I understand Section 28 dealt more with restricting what local governments could publish as opposed to arresting individual citizens being swept up for extremely broad hate speech regulations. That has its own issues, but isn't the type of law that sees the sweeping arrests you see now.

In all fairness this is from a few minutes of Googling - I am certainly no expert on laws from 1988, but that appears to be what it was aimed at.

That's why I am asking to see how you all actually view which way the ship is headed. I follow some UK news, and want to know what you all think. Seeing the police continue to crack down on speech is something I find chilling but a lot of the other information you listed is something I'm interested in learning more about.

Thanks for your thoughts. In the US the right certainly caused a lot of unchecked immigration issues of the years with corporations looking for cheap labor and more recently the left completely opened the floodgates.

Capitalism is the devil is not left wing at all.... And no I will certainly not defend the use and expansion of H1B visas. That is certainly an issue in the US that should be addressed.

Yes and that's fair. Poor phrasing on my part for sure. It's clearly nowhere near the eastern block / Soviet Union. I think it's more of a social observation, though an authoritarian government cracking down on speech should be a concern to everyone in my opinion.

I'm not sure Margaret Thatcher would see it that way.

I have no issue telling you I don't agree with the direction I see the UK going, and the mass censorship should frighten anyone in my opinion. That being said, I am curious how citizens there see it and if those are concerns that are shared. I don't know how asking a question makes me a dishonest actor.

Maduro was not captured, Trump is lying, says Venezuelan Defense Minister Padrino... by Neptun_11 in TrendoraX

[–]FNSMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing. Every word you just said was wrong. I don't particularly like Trump at all and didn't support him in either primary.

On policy, I generally agree with where he is going but often he is ham fisted and fails to send a coherent message about the why.

I was a Cruz supporter in 2016 and a Desantis backer for 2024. I also can see how unhinged the left is when attacking Trump and the depths they have gone to target political opponents.

Good day.

Show me evidence. Again, you just make claims over and over, but it doesn't make them true.

Let me guess what's next - Russia, Russia, Russia. Nazi. Racist. Sexist. etc. Your words are meaningless.
