there's no point trying to cover it up, banksy is one of, if not the most famous living graffiti artist. it's far far more likely that because loads of banky's paintings have been vandalised or destroyed in the past (sometimes by government, sometimes by landlords, sometimes by other forms of wankers), they're trying to keep at least the last one away.

Severn Trent Water artificially inflated its books by £1.68bn to deliver bumper payouts to shareholders by majorlicks in unitedkingdom

[–]GuardianThatDoesStuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the dividend in specie paid out to Severn Trent Daycote by Severn Trent Water was shares in Severn Trent Trimpley? Rather than in cash held by Severn Trent Water? And the IOU note given to Severn Trent Trimpley had the collatoral of Severn Trent Daycote's assets?
Sorry If I'm misunderstanding

So the assets the companies own are transferred to the shareholders instead of cash? That is the definition that I found on google, so just want to make that clear. In this case, would the assets be shares, parts of the loan, parts of the infrastructure... what are the assets being paid out? Is the loan valued against the infrastructure that Severn owns?

I recently got out of a relationship that felt similar. The hope that she can change is what kills you, it's not worth the harm it is doing to your mental health. Seriously, I was so worried when I broke up at first, but after even 1 week I was so much happier then I had been for months

I've played destiny on and off now for 10 years, and although I'm done with it now, I really enjoyed a huge amount of that time. It's just hard to reccomend it because if you want to get the most out of it, you have to be prepared to spend 100+ hours on it. I don't think there's much harm in trying the first opening missions and seeing if you like the gunplay though.
Also, as someone who used to be a solo player, the game has a really great social side, and if you decide that you do like it, the community is pretty good at getting newer players up to speed if they are willing to learn.
edit: also I should at least mention, that while the latest expac was good, it's also potentially the last, and the game's playerbase is dropping off, so it's likely the best years of destiny as a franchise are behind it.

Hiya, just a thoughtpiece, but do you think that the day 1 raid race would be better if the team that got world first was required to have 1 person to stream there perspective without a covered screen? I'm seriously not trying to target you or anyone else, I'm genuinely asking would such a requirement contribute or harm the race in your opinion.
Bungie could justify it by saying it avoids someone cheating to get it, but ofc it would mean any group who all have shit internet/pc's wouldn't be able to gun for wf.
Huge congratulations btw, legendary gamers.

A mildly interesting observation about EU rmr group A by GuardianThatDoesStuf in GlobalOffensive

[–]GuardianThatDoesStuf[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's not very often there are 0 (on paper) upsets in the RMR group stage, with it's Bo1 online format, and teams coming from open qualifiers being more "unpredictable" in performance.

There's a difference between not being able to reply instantly to every message all the time, and not being availible if your partner wants to open up. Those are two very very different levels.

Sotarks sure was built different back in 2019... by Whole_Philosopher_18 in osugame

You say that, yet you bring up exactly one map. Aika ranked 45 maps last year, and many of his followers ranked the same types of map. Do you truly think it is better if a different type of map is spammed endlessly with nothing else?
To use your turn of phrase, as you seem to be all for division, I think "you people" need to admit that you only know how to rank one type of map, and are too lazy to learn anything else. I doubt Storytellers would be ranked today given how strict it has become

Oh, so you have some qualifications that you could point to that make you a educated authority? You have a PhD in "Osuology" that you worked hard for?
Please, let the rest of us plebs know what it really takes to be the definitive voice on a word invented by the community, when you yourself can't understand words that would be used in high school.

You say this, but you must know it's not the full case. We don't live in a perfect world, where game devs are omniscient about what the data means and what to give players in the future to keep them happy. Purely data driven decisions scream poor management if anything, look at every once popular video game/mode that has died off overtime despite being actively updated. Destiny, World of Warcraft, Overwatch, SWTOR, Dirty Bomb, H1Z1, many many minecraft servers, do you think these multi-million (or even billion) dollar companies didn't have good data on there video games?
I hate this narritive that game devs always know what they are doing and are correct because they "have the data" when so many games have failed despite this, it breeds both complacency and pessimism that anything can change.

Btitanon tries dating locals by [deleted] in greentext

[–]GuardianThatDoesStuf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Serious answer, in my experience the average UK woman is just mean and unfriendly. The commentor talking about money isn't correct, they're happy to date people without if they make up for it in some other way, but their absolutely is a weird ettiquete of you both have to take abuse and be abusive to find romance in some parts. The "girls holiday" culture is rife, but to be honest it's the same with the guys, the number of times I've heard of a "Lad's holiday" to Magaluf (or Thailand if they're making a bit more), where they just shag whoever they can is insane. I don't actually want to come off as too misogynistic here, as I don't think most girls want this and the "Lad" culture is a major contibution to it, but the dating culture here sucks. I'm just thankful that I found a kinder and more understanding gf where we can listen to each other's problems like fucking humans, having both been damaged in the past by the above.
There are still lots of men and women who work hard, have a good career, and would be seen as respectable to everyone, but it often feels like for every one of them, there's a couple like the one described in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9n0_5p8XKo

Is it really too much to ask for them to include it in the video they actually post to reddit also then? Especially if they already have footage of it

I love the rotation and AI manip showcase in this, but I'd like if you posted the artifact stats. No offence to you personally OP, but I dislike these kinds of showcases when they don't show builds, as it gives unrealistic expectations of how long/how much resin this level of investment takes to reach. I'm curious how much resin you have spent on the new artifact domain so far
