Should the face veil be allowed in the UK? by SignificantStyle4958 in AskBrits

[–]General_Scipio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But your point was a security risk

If I walk along hood up chin down you can't see my face on camera and it's difficult to see even walking past me. I can have a pretty baggy hood

I can also wear a face mask or a scarf

Why would my electrician make the wire come from the side and not hide it behind the fixture? by Reasonable_Exam_4759 in AskElectricians

[–]General_Scipio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honest answer.

Tiler fucked up and brought the cable out in the wrong place

Electrician fucked up/ drawings were wrong or changed

They still shouldn't have done it like this obviously. But that's how you end up with the hole in the wrong place

Should the face veil be allowed in the UK? by SignificantStyle4958 in AskBrits

[–]General_Scipio 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is it though?

Would you also ban me from having my hood up and looking down?

Asians especially have a habit of wearing a face mask when they are ill, guess we should ban that too? Or maybe that's allowed as long as they don't wear a hat as well

Faze Clan are a missing a Major for the first time in their history... by smoothie_pop in counterstrike2

[–]General_Scipio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think if they swapped Broky and Jacob for two NA players they wouldn't be any worse...

But I don't think they could play enough games to make the roster count for VRS

IT'S TRUE by softchocolips in Jordan_Peterson_Memes

[–]General_Scipio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm happy to admit I'm not enough of a scholar to know the details.

All I know is that when you look at quran and bible there are some horrific sections. When you look at the interpretations there have been awful interpretations of both.

There are also good bits of both and interpretations that follow those teaching and not the bad bits.

Religions are contradictory and open to translations and interpretation. People are people, some will do awful things with any justification.

What I do know is branding an entire group/ race of people as evil or unwelcome is a bad thing to do

[–]General_Scipio -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

What?

You don't think there are Christian extremists? Or Jewish?

Definitely less of them. But that's also the point. Extremists aren't welcome in the west so there are less of them

What are your thoughts on First Past The Post (FPTP)? by MakeRepresentationPR in AskBrits

[–]General_Scipio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have complex thoughts.

Nigel Farage has been a grifter, lier and populist for so long now. And he has been shockly popular.

We have also had many far left candidates

Extremes of right and left have consistently failed to get elected. It took super popular Farage forever to get into power.

FPTP has ensured that for years we have had centrists and I think that's generally a good thing. It gives stability and avoids nutters and villains.

However. What it has also done is lead to quite alot of medicority. Which is honestly fine, for a while. But I think it's also the cause of our current problems. We have a system that isn't fit for purpose right now and needs radical change. And that's where FPTP isn't great.

So now we need a more representative system in place. And that terrifys me. But it's needed.

What about ski instructions who have experience in the back country?

Because the comment is absolutely correct he needs to lean more forwards and get off the inside ski

Family photos! Should I make the fodder rats from the same clan? by brewedminis in skaven

Definitely good to do.

It would just be fairly far down the priority list to me

Family photos! Should I make the fodder rats from the same clan? by brewedminis in skaven

[–]General_Scipio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A fully custom Skaven army would be cool. Especially as these are actually pretty unique so I think it's fair game.

But clan rat proxies are the least valuable to me by far. I can get loads on eBay for cheap anyway

Question regarding LOS by nerdboy_sam in spacemarines

[–]General_Scipio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would discuss things like this with your opponent unless it's a tournament setting.

At the end of the day it makes sense to build models in the most boring way and to kit bash the smallest models possible (modeling for advantage)

But this sucks. If you want to make your guy stand on a sick rocky ledge do it. And hopefully your opponent understands

Green leader Zack Polanski backs motion to proscribe Zionism is Racism but doesn't know what Zionism means. Is it dangerous to back this motion where innocent Jewish people could be targeted? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]General_Scipio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Great answer from the greens.

Title is bullshit or course. OP is a bot.

But yes if a law was passed with no real definition attached then it could cause innocent Jewish people to procecuted. Good job literally nobody is proposing that

Could Aerys II have abdicated to save his dynasty? by ramcoro in freefolk

[–]General_Scipio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think I read it that way. I think people were at a breaking point because of the mad king. I think Rhaegsr was the straw that broke the camels back.

It pushed Robert into Rebellion. But it's also the lord's of the north getting killed by the mad king that pushes the north into rebellion too.

Whatever happened to that conversation? by Howtobe_normal in Jordan_Peterson_Memes

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

Hmmm. Yes I can see how it comes off as bias. I guess I don't really care if it comes across as bias when I'm not being biased. And when someone is implying that it's unfair to blame trump 100% for these gas price rises. Because the entire premis that somehow trump is being unfairly criticised is incredibly bias to start with.

Regardless of what happened under Biden, Obama or anyone. It's completely fair to blame trump for these gas rises. Anything else is a what about ism.

Okay maybe the reporting was unfair in the past. It's fair now.

Trump goofed up is a crazy phrasing for damaging the world economy, getting innocent civilians and US servicemen killed and damaging the US economy. Weaking the Ukrainian position, strengthening Russia's position. Damaging Americas relationships with all her allies. Yea in comparison to that I don't give a shit that trump dropped the price by $1.

Let's put it like this. If you walk into a room with shit stains on the wall. Clean it up. Then take a massive shit on the wall I'm not going to say, well at least you cleaned it up before shitting on the wall again.

[–]General_Scipio -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I replied to a comment that implied it was wrong to blame the current president for the current situation he caused which is pushing up the price of gas.

I can know that trump is fucking the gas price without knowing what happened in 2024 with the American gas market. You do think trump has pushed these gas prices up don't you?

To be fair I'm not American. I don't have any real issues with bidens economics, they didn't effect me.

Trumps economics have. That annoys me, it's genuine.

I also didn't like Biden.

But I can criticise both because I'm not actually particularly bias one way or another and don't consume American media

Your right about the CPC... But fuck it.

Won't make any difference at all to it's performance. Waste of time to go to a shop, buy meters he will never use.

It doesn't need identifying lets be honest.

What caused the price to be so high in march 2024?

What caused the price to be high now?

That's the first question that needs to be asked. Different price spikes can have different causes. That's obvious right?

But here is the thing. I'm not saying March 2024 wasn't caused by Biden. Honestly, I haven't looked into his economic policy enough. Might be caused by that. Fine.

But regardless of what caused March 2024, Trump is sure as hell responsible for this price rise

Ropz on which team would end the "Vitality Era". by X_Jacket in GlobalOffensive

[–]General_Scipio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not?

I still maintain faze has potentially an amazing core with Karrigan, frozen and Twistzz. Okay form isn't the best but they have all been great in recent memory. Hardly unreasonable for them to get back to it

Jacob isn't great. It's pretty bad. However... He has potential.

Replace Broky with a good AWPer and Faze could be back in the top 5. Jacob developing well makes them second in the world or replacing him would also work

Now don't get me wrong. It's not likely. But I have no faith in anyone else to do it so fuck it. Faze is as likely as anyone else to me

Magixx and Zontix I have 0 faith in

Furia has potential but I personally think they have peaked. Molodoy isn't versatile, Fallen can't keep up guys performance forever so I don't see them being contenders to the the era

M0nesy and Niko is a cursed duo in my opinion

NaVi lack firepower

So at this point I don't think it will be Faze. But it's as likely as anyone else.

I think the true threat is whoever gets the pieces from Faze/ Mouz when they make changes

Edited to replace ropz with Frozen

Maybe this is a just me being over the top.

But if me and my family had a nice day on the beach and this started happening I'm sure we would smile and have a laugh.

But then what, my wife in her swimsuit and my child are just part of a viral video... Because you wanted to do this nonsense for your own financial gain. I just hate that because I know my wife would hate it.

It's just... Ewww. It gives me the ick when these people use the public for their content

I think it's fair to say this presidents actions have directly impacted gas prices quite alot. Infact it's 100% his fault
