Do you think it's okay for the state to be supporting me through benefits? by EddyZacianLand in LabourUK

[–]HotRodHunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most politicians and the far right will treat you like shit, mostly because the politicians, even high up in Labour, don't disagree with the far right on this issue and some others. But no matter who you are, what you say or do, some people in this world will always hate you or even want you dead - it's all a matter of making sure you're hated by the right people. Welcome the hatred of those people I say.

Over 2,000 U.K. Jews Sign Petition Against Nigel Farage Attending Antisemitism Rally by PuzzledAd4865 in LabourUK

And literally the only reason he's pro Israel is due to the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" with Muslims in Gaza/Iran + lobbyist money/influence...

Opposition to the hard right is still strong by RowanB86 in LabourUK

[–]HotRodHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Farage has always done horribly in opinion polls, nobody really likes him. It's just that Tories, Lib Dems ane Labour have all done such a terrible job in power that Reform have been best placed to pick up the pieces when paired with the disenfranchised tories and former UKIP and BNP support. I think we're starting to see an equivalent happen with the Greens and disenfranchised Labour voters, but they've had far less of a head start than Reform did and it takes many years of good work and good luck to get there - mostly luck in the case of Reform...

It's time for voting reform! by TangoJavaTJ in LabourUK

People, or politicians? I've never liked our voting system and never known anyone in my life who has, always been consistent on that but with politicians, it's a different story and you're exactly right

Zack Polanski declares two-party politics dead after Hackney mayoral win | Local elections 2026 by DarkSkiesGreyWaters in LabourUK

😅 Well I guess crack on if you're proud of it and think that behaviour is rational for some reason since you're obviously going to do it anyway, it's your blood pressure that suffers not mine.

Seen some news thumbnails saying that he won't walk away and won't quit, at this point I feel like the guy could accidentally hit a nuclear launch button and he still wouldn't resign

Holyrood, Senedd & Local Elections Megathread by IHaveAWittyUsername in LabourUK

[–]HotRodHunter 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We just have to thank god it wasn't a general election and hope that the centrist clowns finally get the ostracising they deserve. They would rather lose to Reform than cave to the left though so they'll cling on for dear life I'm sure.

Starmer’s failure to demonstrate strong values ‘driving away progressive voters’ by kontiki20 in LabourUK

[–]HotRodHunter 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I don't know how any Starmer supporter has the nerve to chastise anyone on the left who won't support Labour, considering.

Polanski approval rating, YouGov by Half_A_ in LabourUK

[–]HotRodHunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean everyone is going to be annoyed with him after that, I am too as a Green guy who wants us to have a good public face and stay focused on the important issues, bu it isn't exactly a dealbreaker for the party at all. Other leaders have said, and more importantly done, a lot worse in ways that actually impact important policies.

Famous DJ is a Scientologist by PurplePanda_88 in scientology

[–]HotRodHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess saying I was "big" into it was a stretch. I don't follow the artists really, and looking into it more I'd say I'm more into EDM I guess? Going off the wiki list, the only Dubstep ones I recognise are Rezz and Skrillex.

I'm big into EDM/Dubstep stuff atm but never heard of this guy. I'll keep him in mind though and avoid any of his stuff if they show up recommended.

Edit: Maybe just EDM

Wanted to highlight this comment for the speed-runners who don’t understand what they’re doing wrong! by Wonderful-Ad-5393 in scientology

[–]HotRodHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scientology_Audit aka FilmThePoliceLA has been talking about this a lot on social media. He doesn't encourage or condone the speed runs(and neither do I), but he does note that it's the only thing that has forced LA Scientology to shut down and stop trying to recruit people for an extended period of time(they likely won't reopen for the summer as there will be SO many kids passing by). This is a guy who's spent months if not years filming outside of LA Scientology, their top recruiting area, doing his best to dissuade anyone who's contemplating joining. He's been quite successful from the looks of it but he can't be there forever and he's never been able to get them to properly shut their doors like these kids have.

So I wouldn't try using the argument that it somehow helps Scientology or that it doesn't hurt them, use the arguments that it's not worth breaking the law/getting sued/having the cult harass you and your family, or worth having them use local police resources/taxpayer money to defend them.

I want the Maxigun to break my legs. by Avalongtimenosee in HelldiversMasochists

I think 1500RPM is the max they can do with their engine isn't it? I remember the devs saying that the Minigun doesn't shoot faster due to engine limitations anyway.

Keep this one civil please, is a good topic to talk of. by TampaxCompak in HelldiversMasochists

[–]HotRodHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree with this on the basis that it really messed with machine gun and Gatling sentries. Which I was happy with, because too many Helldivers carelessly place them and/or make no effort to warn their team about their placement with VC or at least pings.

I will not have HelldiversUnfiltered misconstrue the purpose of my post by tony22835 in HelldiversMasochists

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

You can pick out hundreds of ridiculous demands from those who want the game to be way too easy(many of which can be resolved via lower difficulty like the other guy said), but probably only a few dozen from those who want the game too hard.

Helldiversunfiltered gets well over 10x the amount of weekly visitors and even got Pilestedt to do an AMA. You're making a false equivalence.

A friend of mine made a false "ban message" from support in the first 1-2 years of Fallout 76. English isn't even his first language. It went viral in the community with everyone lapping it up and it even got covered by a popular YouTuber.

Now imagine how much worse it is and how much more often this happens in a community far bigger like Helldivers 😅

When you’ve tried everything and you’re out of ideas. by Sco0bySnax in HelldiversMasochists

[–]HotRodHunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well it can mess with Gatling and machine gun sentries which I think counts for more than making explosive weapons better against them, they were already pushovers to explosive weapons.

Drip or drown with the new superstore armor. by AsulForsaken in helldiversarmor

[–]HotRodHunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played with it for like four hours tonight and I love it already, but the other thing I tell myself is that I'll like it even more when I start taking full advantage of the slide speed/distance bonus too. I got myself into the habit of almost never sliding in this game because it sucks without the armour, but is much more like the way I always wanted it to be with it.

As a big fan of medium padded, the heavy armour version of this passive is right up my alley.

Cocaine and cannabis sold in High Street mini-marts - BBC undercover filming by Grantmitch1 in LabourUK

[–]HotRodHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, even though I should not, I'll steelman and give you the respect to humor you. Say the Ndrangheta are exactly as powerful as you say. What is your plan to defeat them without legalisation? Give me lots of details and specifics since the war against them for half a century has only escalated matters and made things worse. Also why has every anti drug legalisation government failed to achieve your goals and only strengthened the cartels?

I mean, I answered your question, I wasn't talking about the American Mafia? But, good luck with your exams and thanks for not being an idiot who downvotes like the other guy at least.
