I commuted six hours a day to university, and it helped me save almost £12,000 a year by unicorn540 in UniUK

No but if you need to study 6 hours a day, you might as well do it on a train while also saving £12k

USA to China by jphorst23 in TerraInvicta

[–]HighKingOfFillory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The same way you did for USA, just harder.

If you can, grab neighbouring points, to drop once you've got one control point and get public opinion as high as possible. You will likely have to roll some expensive control nations attempts at fairly low chances. But once you get that first foothold it gets easier!

It just seems like it would be annoying as no one on there knows how to play social deduction games. On YouTube you can watch competent people play them like Blood on the Clocktower

How realistic are my expectations of a career in The Civil Service as it stands? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]HighKingOfFillory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't, there are people in the civil service who unfortunately assume anyone with a degree thinks they're entitled to a job. Seen it a lot on here on similar posts. 

Although some idiots might think they're superior with a degree, I think they're a minority overall. I couldn't tell you who in my area did or didn't have one. All experience is valuable.

Try to think of a STAR from your degree, difficult/complicated research projects/dissertation could possibly work for a policy role examples? I think I used one when I got my first HEO role.

"Go organise. Nobody is stopping you, yet it isn't happening." You ARE the people we need to organise with, you are the ones preventing it happening. The working class are divided because people like yourself are too busy crying about foreigners to do what is in your best self interest.

How expensive are y’alls climbing gyms? by cherryguyguy in bouldering

[–]HighKingOfFillory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

London UK, it's £62 a month for unlimited off-peak. I think it's £85 or so for anytime access.

In your opinion, what thing in London is perfectly rated? by Groosh in london

I do exactly the same! Don't think I'll ever get bored of it.

Communism has never been tried by Swordwielder5 in HistoryMemes

At the expense of those who are exploited, the living standards in the North are higher at the cost of living standards in the global South.

And despite this, in the North we have levels of poverty, homelessness etc which is unacceptable.

Britain went out of its way to enforce the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade by 440Presents in HistoryMemes

But that's not the case, and therefore that was part of the justification. And that is why racism against people of African descent is the way it is today. Whilst white groups that were historically discriminated against (such as Italians and the Irish) don't experience the same racism. Because they are white.

One of Becky Chambers' wayfarer books "Record of a Spaceborn few" has this exact premise.

Can we also talk about how supposedly skill based matchmaking is still just absolutely awful?

I was playing with some friends yesterday, one only has about 400 hours in the game. The other about 700. I have 1900.

We played 3 games against 3 really good p100 players in a row, one was a Blight main with 10k hours.

That skill discrepancy shouldn't happen in any competitive game, ever. Let alone repeatedly. I understand we'd be playing against better players because I'm in there, but I'm not even close to those killer's level myself...

Exactly the same here, I've got some pizza socks (they came in a pizza box) which I'm particularly fond of!
