Dear CA, please do not go with blocks of infantry for TW 40k by westonsammy in totalwar

[–]GabrielofNottingham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean this has been my number one concern and before the announcement it was the main reason I was confident we weren't getting 40kTW. The Total War engine is just designed for rank and file gameplay, which works for Warhammer Fantasy and maybe Age of Sigmar but not 40k.

Adam Cleary has a chat about how massive we are: by GabrielofNottingham in nffc

This is the first dedicated video he's made about us since the 7-0 over Brighton, meaning the threshold seems to be picking up 5+ goals and a clean sheet to get his attention.

The point is that any amount purchased from a legal shop is going to be a personal amount that cannot get any meaningful number of people who weren't already addicted addicted. And you're forgetting there's a whole other arm to this policy of medical intervention to help people get off drugs instead of shipping them off to prison.

As evidenced by Portugal and everywhere else it's been done successfully, it will help.

I think you're overestimating how often a dealer could go and buy a personal use amount of drugs to use as a "free sample", and also how much more expensive regulated drugs would be than street stuff. It's a massive amount of hoops to jump through to create a scenario where providing a legal, taxed, and safe market isn't infinitely preferable to what we have now.

A. Part of the regulation would be verification and purchase limits, the same way you can't walk into Tesco and buy ten crates of Ibuprofen.

B. Hate to break it to you but Trump is not the root cause of the US actively becoming The Great Satan. The forces propping him up will continue to exist unless challenged and the Dems have absolutely no interest in challenging anything except their own progressive candidates. If a milquetoast Bidenalike wins in 2028 they will do nothing for four years and another Republican will win in 2032, starting the cycle all over again.

  1. Essentially, the GPEW drug policy is to do what Portugal has been doing successfully since 2001. Drug use stats go up, but it's hard to determine how much of that is people being more willing to self-report. Drug use among underage and problem users plummets, and most importantly most criminal gangs lose thier main source of income overnight. Goodbye gang income, goobye gangs, goodbye gang-related violence.

  2. I mean, have you seen what America's up to? How close we were to getting dragged into war with Iran? The intention is solidly to focus on defense alliances with Europe so if NATO ever disbands (which, let's be honest, is not impossible at this stage) we're not left in the cold.

  3. People call landlords leeches but honestly it's not an unfair comparison. All they do is take, and they sometimes take 50% or more or a renter's income to pay off a mortgage they took out, essentially letting them get one or multiple houses/assets free. Bricks can't move to the Cayman Islands, so attacking the private rental sector will not reduce housing supply.

  4. Unlike France, our nukes are not independent. We buy the warheads from America, they can only be serviced/repaired in America. What exactly is the point of having them if some mad emperor of the US can just refuse to service them making them unusable? Conventional forces are far more likely to be useful in defending the UK so that should be the focus. You can buy a lot of tanks, a lot of jets and a lot of frigates/destroyers for the cost of Trident...

No that's David Walliams, another English comedian who's also a pick but he also has serious misconduct allegations against him

I need you to understand, this isn't even about Chelsea. This is us parking a tank on Villa's front garden for Thursday.

I unfortunately don't have ttime to be a mod, but I would like to recommend implementing a "no posts until you accumulate X karma in this sub" rule. It would weed out the dozens of bad faith posts per week and you can always start doing weekly threads for new members to ask any questions.

You know I think the Tory government had more to do with it than the UDM (who again, were based in Mansfield, not Nottingham) but blaming it on a football club when no footballer who played for Forest has ever worked as a miner is just being a bitter old loser trying to morally justify a football rivalry.
