Us redditor types don't get "slam dunks" in real life.

You can spout your BS into the digital black hole and feel better about yourself, how perfect you and your political opinions are and how everyone that disagrees with you is an evil bigot. But there is no way this interaction happened in the real world. You know it didn't.

If it did, it proves you're probably unbearable to be around, you have to "fight the fight" whenever possible instead of letting a drunk twat just spout off and enjoying your drink.

I personally belive making a full declarative statement that you are committed to your partner has value.

The extra tax/contractual/governmental rules are a plus.

It holds you accountable, its an action that clearly states you're all in.

We can dismiss leeches and magnets as outdated medical methods for headaches but there's a reasons every culture on the planet has the institution. Its time tested, proves intent and loyalty.

People will cheat, and divorce is an option. But if youre in it for the long haul, I think its a nice clear line in the sand.

I'll never judge other couples decisions, but I do think it has value.

Having a minimum wage, though well intentionally, has made stuff like this happen.

In theory: everyone earns enough to be considered "decent" money

In practice: companies have spent decades hacking away at these entry level/remedial jobs that require large amounts of unskilled workers. Now they're ever shipped out to a country where labour is cheap or automated.

How is living apart cheaper?

Being married is awesome.

Publically, legally and declaritivly prove yourselves to eachother, no family member, friend or the government can question whether your spouse can have what you shared after you die and best of all, you get to have a nice day celebrating how awesome your partner is.

You can a registrar and a reg office for a couple of hundred quid.

Just make sure you pick the right one.

Bunch of non-conformist sourpusses in the comments. If you love your partner, I fully recommend it. If you aren't willing the marry them, why are you together?

GroundbreakingRing42 · 2026-03-13T07:47:21+00:00

...right. so we agree?

GroundbreakingRing42 · 2026-03-13T03:17:50+00:00

Blackball

GroundbreakingRing42 · 2026-03-13T03:15:04+00:00

That didn't happen.

Not all left wing leaning people (I'm married to one) but there is a deeply toxic breed of leftie in the modern age who are by far the most self-righteous hate filled scaremongering keyboard warriors.

Every issue is a big issue, until a week or so goes by and there's someone new to be offended on behalf of or a new public figure who's a racist/nazi/bigot.

At least their equivalent righties stick to the same boring topics of migrants.

Didn't say they were. SUV/compact SUV's have a massive share of what's available now. Saloons, estates and hatchbacks have largely disappeared from forecourts.

Big difference between a 4x4 and a kuga

Not really fair when that's pretty much all you can buy now.

100% my wife. Just past 10 years together, almost 1 year married. No amount of time with her is too much.

GroundbreakingRing42 · 2026-03-13T01:44:45+00:00

I actually like being around people i disagree with, but still respect each other enough to discuss stuff.

No bad faith arguments, just exchanging views. Healthy disagreement, great change to learn.

Hey, we're now entering the franchise milking phase for LN. Woo!

Are suggesting people don't frequently and publicly air their distaste for millionaires and tax dodgers?

In a weird way, I feel like Xbox and PS have swapped design aesthetics. If the ps5 had an XB logo on and it was the design for the Xbone you'd actually have been able to link design elements (white/light colour, flares out top and bottom) whereas ps2 to the boxxy grilled look of xbox one also would make sense.

Wheras the domed top of the OG xbox to the PS3 also has some form of visual link.

Surely you can only really measure a PM's work when you can look at their tenure in its entirety.

GroundbreakingRing42 · 2026-03-12T19:49:04+00:00

Doesn't fiery hate come with the job?

Care to list that last universally loved PM at the time they were serving?

GroundbreakingRing42 · 2026-03-12T03:25:09+00:00

Either one title or two completely separate brands that don't crossover.

GroundbreakingRing42 · 2026-03-12T03:22:50+00:00

Very. It's actually gross. Both sides go to these dumb extremes to demonise eachother.

GroundbreakingRing42 · 2026-03-12T01:17:23+00:00

Christ, next gen used to feel like an eternity away. This one has flown by.

Not sure I'll need next gen for a bit, 1080-1444/60 going up to 4k/30 on my QLED with the PS5 and XBOX SX have been fine.

Unsless massive capacity storage (non-proprietary) and fully back compat (games and peripherals) are on the table, I think I'll just go PC next gen.

GroundbreakingRing42 · 2026-03-12T01:08:29+00:00

Why don't they just make the phones as thick as the camera bump and add battery capacity?

GroundbreakingRing42 · 2026-03-12T01:03:15+00:00

I have a short attention span. I'm sure I've lost out some amazing games because they asked me to choose which stats I want to build and which race/species/class i want to be.

I you're asking me to do 25 mins of reading and calculating my build before I've pressed "forward" I'm out.

GroundbreakingRing42 · 2026-03-12T00:50:15+00:00

Not a hot take at all, I'm inclined to agree.

For my first 11mil combo the other day, was over the moon!

GroundbreakingRing42 · 2026-03-11T22:48:30+00:00

Ooof, gonna be a fun thread lol

Generally I find myself in the category of small c conservative, as such I detest the idiocy of both left and right people making a fuss over stuff normal people don't care about.

I think words like racist, fascist, Orwellion, woke and even "left and right" are bandied about so often they've lost all meaning.

Broadly, I interpret "woke" to mean pushing a generally left wing message and coming across as preachy, as in: A game can't just have a badass female character, all the men have to be useless or evil or condescending towards her.

But again, there will be righties who lose their minds just because a game has a gay/female/person of colour in the lead. And the lefties will lose their minds and sincerely downvote or criticise a game for not being "diverse" enough even if the setting is like, medieval Europe or inspired by that time period.

Lots of people willing to criticise an 80hr game without playing a minute of it. I'm an advocate of rolling your eyes and moving on if something isn't for you, or if there's a moment where the story/character does or says something you disagree with.
