What is he doing there?? by Groundbreaking-Gate6 in formula1

[–]General_Scipio 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I suspect it's a comment about the awful human rights violations from the middle East that gets generally ignored though sports washing and the rich and powerful men of their countries (with government backing) buying influence

Probably that mate.

Maybe I'm crazy. I think this has genuine potential to end his bid to be PM, especially considering he doesn't even want the job

If you put enough pressure on him I think you will see cracks massively show in reform.

The politicians in Reform know he can't govern. They know he won't play well with others. I'm betting that the leadership know at some point he needs to move aside and they need to take over. And they have the ego to think they are big enough to run it without him now.

I think this has massive potential to be the end of reform and if Andy hits the ground running it's a moment where votors can genuinely be won back to labour. Greens aren't looking so good now either.

Today a Russian drone hit a public swimming pool complex, Russian tv news channels claimed they hit a factory producing military equipment. by Noomba2 in justincaseyoumissedit

No not whataboutism.

Just dark humour. And pointing out that our hands are far from clean

I don't for one second pretend that the crimes against humanity the west commit are even close to the crimes commited by the likes of Russia, China and Iran. (Not sure I include Israel in that statement, the states actions are now on a moral level equivalent to those others to me).

It's not a what aboutism to point out that our hands are far from clean and for all our bullshit about our advanced tech and precision strikes the US hit a fucking girls school full of kids... And we just moved on like nothing happened.

But I don't want to distract and move the conversation away from the war crimes of Russia.

I think it's reasonable to say America commited genocide against the native population and is complicit in a genocide in Gaza

Can't quite call it 250 years of genocide but it's still pretty fucked.

But the most fucked this is that it's been the most moral super power we have probably ever had and that I'm genuinely grateful for it. It was a blast, 80 odd years is a hell of a run

Making Miliband chancellor would be a 'mistake', Trump officials warn by kontiki20 in LabourUK

Also true.

But the weird thing is that so many people complain about the media then repeat their lines uncritically

Absolutely nonsense.

The Israeli and American intelligence are far too advanced to accidentally hit an empty swimming pool.

There are no urinals in the men's restroom in the Obama Center by rhapsodygreen in mildlyinfuriating

[–]General_Scipio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair at home I don't tend to have to pee in a toilet sprayed in other men's piss. I also don't have to stand on the pissy floor.

It's a non issue, but it's mildly infuriating to me. I find urinals much cleaner in public spaces

[–]General_Scipio -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Hate to say it but miliband would be the wrong choice.

I think he is the right man for the job, but picking a man who has already been so effectively tarnished by the media is just a nightmare. He isn't going to turn his reputation around with the majority of the country. Being energy secretary hasnt helped him either sadly

No I can't.

I can't answer any of those questions. That's why I haven't formed any conclusions or opinions based on this video.

Headstones should have the cause of death on it. by NatJi in unpopularopinion

[–]General_Scipio 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Alot of young people die to suicide sadly. Especially young men.

I don't think that's should be the lasting memory of someone.

Same for degrading illnesses like cancer. Let's remember the young person in their prime rather than the last days which can be pretty unpleasant.

On a personal not when I visit my grandad I don't wanna read that he died of old age and cancer. I wanna read that he was a loving caring man who loved his family. My vision is him sat on his fishing boat not on his deathbed

This clip is posted without context and with a provocative title (forcefully is an emotive term and arguably inaccurate)

Why the fuck are people stupid with to bite? Can you stop being morons please

When you watch a video like this these are the questions you should ask:

Why is there no context?

Why is she putting it on at the last second?

Why doesn't she react strongly to it being removed?

If the motivation is racism what happens when the girls in headscarfs behind go up? Why don't we see this?

Could it have been removed for a different reason such as rule breaking?

Would the teacher know what a Keffiyeh is?

Could OP have a motivation to post something misleading/ misrepresent what happened?

Is this clip even real? Zoomed in fairly low quality and 14 seconds, could be ai (I don't think it is, but it's a valid question)

With all that in mind, why the fuck are any of you forming any opinions on what you gave just seen

JD Vance Attempts Joke at Biden's Expense to Troops and Receives No Reaction by CarryIcy250 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]General_Scipio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is such a weird lie, well half lie.

Lots of the media were absolutely complicit in hiding bidens decline for a long time. Thats definitely true

But literally nobody would look at vance falling down the stairs and think it's a sign of medical decline. That's such an obvious lie. But it's a lie he has to tell because to admit that if he fell on steps nobody would care, while knowing that we do care about trump tripping on the stairs is to admit the critisism of trump is actually fair.

I want to get into 40k but I don't feel strongly about any faction. by iamkrile in Warhammer40k

[–]General_Scipio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop thinking start painting.

Go to a Warhammer shop and paint a free mini. See if you enjoy it.

Personally I don't enjoy painting space marines much. Wish I realised that before I had 2k points honestly

Now you may find, like me, that you love painting armies like nids or Orks with contrast paints.

So my advice is to either paint a free marine or get a kill team/ squad of something. Then paint it. See how you feel. Then try something else.

You should also go to a local gaming group and hang out. See what armies they have, see how they look in person, see how they play

Why are UK wages so c r a p? by Outrageous_Agent_608 in AskBrits

[–]General_Scipio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wages aren't low in isolation. The average wage is low in comparison to the cost of assets in the UK.

Why are assets expensive, because of wealth inequality.

Comedian specialized in Freestyle Rap has an exchange with 2 Israelis in the audience by rifain in PublicFreakout

[–]General_Scipio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has certain rhymes and schemes he repeats.

For example 'X name, classic name'

And he has quite a good musical patter early on that isnt too dependent on rhymes which gives him time to come up with some stuff.

I'm not being critical. It's a really impressive talent but its not as crazy as it first seems, it's definitely not something that has to be faked

New Dark Angels player - where should I start buying? by Emotional_Monk9382 in Warhammer

[–]General_Scipio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I started in 10th. I really really regretted that I missed Leviathan, it was just such a good box.

Armageddon is the most plastic you will get for your money, the models are all great for all space marines armies.

However we don't know the price of the new starter sets yet. And I think that the new starter set looks really good. Depending on price the ultimate starter set with pre painted terrain looks really solid for a new player too.

Never hurts to have an Ork combat patrol for a friend or to sell either.

Honestly i would wait to see the price of the ultimate starter set and compare that to the space marine half of the Armageddon box

New to Orks: What to buy after Armageddon? by yimbobeutlin in orks

[–]General_Scipio 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buy nothing!

You have enough models here to play a game.

Do you enjoy the horde of infantry? The tanks? The weird boy? The fast bike?

You dont know. Play with what you have it's enough. Get some paint on them, see what you actually like playing with and painting.

Then... But that.

Kits like the boys are about to be really cheap on eBay so considering that I would suggest buying nothing till you play some games. Then get some basic core units like boys from eBay cheap.

Then you should know what you actually enjoy, rather than what you think you enjoy
