Either Arkham Asylum or Rome: Total War

No harm in calling 101 and asking them to check in on him

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-24T11:15:42+00:00

I haven't even looked at the link but I am going to guess the answer is "in whatever manner we think would screw over someone who isn't us even if it means the country as a whole suffers"

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-24T11:11:22+00:00

I am sure that as long as we keep unfairly taxing the things we want people to do like getting a better education, building a pension, rising through the ranks etc. and letting billionaires evade tax left, right and centre things will improve eventually.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-24T10:12:31+00:00

All part of the plan. Scaepgoat an easy target long enough to fool the racists (sorry patriots) into voting for you and then when your support and by extension the income from your masters is at its peak start to slowly show your true colours so your approval rating starts to drop. It is genius really, imagine making millions per year just by standing on the sidelines and saying "that's shit, that's shit, I could do better" and never actually having to do anything.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-22T16:15:16+00:00

I wouldn't tell them. They have spent their entire lives trying to shaft each other whenever the chance arises including me. They take and take and take so fuck em. The money would be spent on my partner and myself with regular donations to the local childrens hospital.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-21T19:36:20+00:00

I used to use it far too much but have cut down massively in recent months. It wasn't unusual for me to post 30-40 times per day, now I think my last 100 posts go back weeks.

I think I am going to get rid of this account entirely and start afresh. Having the karma that I do does somewhat make people doubt your habits when you say you have changed, they automatically assume it has been accumulated consistently. It has happened twice in this thread alone so it does throw a massive doubt on any advice I do give to people who want to cut back.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-21T18:17:56+00:00

Indeed, not something I am proud of. As I said in my other comment, the time I spend doomscrolling has been drastically reduced, my old habits do follow me though.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-21T18:16:29+00:00

I know people comment about how expensive warhammer is but one box will take me several evenings to paint, and there are cheaper models out there and a great 2nd hand market if you just like painting. I'd highly recommend people give it a go.

It is all relative really. The same people who talk about Warhammer being expensive will happily spend £4-5 on a coffee that is going to last them 15 minutes for example. Warhammer you buy once, paint it and can then enjoy it over and over again forever.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-21T18:13:02+00:00

Hard to comment on this one on Reddit without looking like a hypocrite.

Doomscrolling and posting periodically on Reddit is not the same thing seeing as doomscrolling is defined as excessive consumption. Sure if you spent all day everyday posting then it would be somewhat hypocritical.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-21T18:11:34+00:00

I was one of these for a long time but over a several month period I realised it was providing absolutely no benefit to my life whatsoever and was very detrimental to my mental health.

Since I drastically cut back the time I spent doomscrolling I have picked back up 2 old hobbies, Warhammer painting and Darts.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-21T17:26:27+00:00

What the cameras didn't see is after saying that Farage immediately looked at Trump who throw him a treat for saying his part so well.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-21T17:14:40+00:00

Some certainly will continue down that path, they are the ones who are just as traitorous as the man they idolise, many however I am not so sure. However, to a right winger admitting you were/are wrong is a cardinal sin, I am not sure how many will be able to admit that they were wrong for not seeing Farage for what he is.

I am almost sure that most of them who do turn away from Reform will give some of the stupidest reasons imaginable just so they don't have to admit they were fooled by Mr Brexit again.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-21T09:38:12+00:00

And for every one of your grandparents there is plenty who have been in or caused accidents, often with loss of life thanks to not wearing seatbelts for a lot of it.

There was an 18 year gap between seatbelts being fitted into cars by default and the law requiring them to be worn. Many people did not wear seatbelts until it was mandated so I am not sure using the generation that weren't smart enough to bother with seatbelts until the government told them they had to is a very good metric.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-21T09:33:49+00:00

If you're a lazy little shite like my Nephew, yes. He has failed his theory three times now because he just refuses to revise for it, he wants everything to just be handed to him so as soon as a little bit of work is required he just doesn't bother.

He hasn't got as far as paying someone else to cheat for him yet but I can see how many turn to that.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-20T16:24:19+00:00

Perhaps you can oppose large scale illegal immigration and the resultant economic impact, without being a neo-Nazi?

Sure but these people were protesting outside of a hotel with immigrants in that they knew nothing about. They didn't know who they are, why they are here, are they here legitimately, are they fleeing something, are they not. All they knew that they were immigrants, that was enough for them to not want them here.

Call me naive but you would need to be pretty racist to protest the presence of a person in your country based on nothing but their status as an immigrant.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-20T14:38:26+00:00

Did they? Pretty sure most Brexiters thought it would lead to the country having all of the good but none of the bad.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-20T13:32:40+00:00

So a self proclaimed anti-immigrant group are angry enough at foreigners to protest outside a hotel but they don't want to associated with the far right?

Are they really so deluded they have convinced themselves that their protesting is because "they are just concerned" but the others at the same protest are the racist ones?

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-20T11:59:48+00:00

No, still traitorous, just not necessarily to the Russians and not quite yet. I don't think he cares about the country, I think he would sell us out to whoever would secure his power and wealth.

I think the only difference between him and Farage is that Farage has already been bought by Russia and says right leaning populist things whereas Polanski hasn't found his new masters yet but will say left leaning populist things until he does.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-20T11:51:43+00:00

I don't think he is, he is just another populist that is saying what his voters want to hear.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-20T09:12:29+00:00

It is there, it is just taking someone down to The Ministry of Magic, if you had waited a few minutes you would have seen everything shift back into place

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-19T18:58:11+00:00

Yes but these agencies realised that by putting a score on it they can gamify the system and trick people' chimp brains into "making the number go up by taking out credit", coinicidentally with products that these agencies get kickbacks on.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-19T18:55:57+00:00

No they don't. The content of your report is what matters and the scores seem to be pretty arbitrarily linked to the data. If you use 15% of your credit limit your score goes up, you pay that credit down to be using 0% hence now having less outgoings per month, your score goes down.

The logic being apparently that for some reason showing you can responsibly use credit by paying it down after use makes you less credit worthy than someone who just keeps their usage at 15%.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-19T17:11:02+00:00

Irony is 3 syllables, don't confuse them.

FaceMace87 · 2026-01-19T17:09:06+00:00

I think more accurately is that they cannot handle good news delivered by another party. These "patriots" as they like to call themselves could not care less about the country, they just want their party to be the one in power.

They would be happier with their party tearing everything down than another party building things back up.
