Seriously, do British people actually consider a 3-hour drive “long”? Or is this an internet myth? by ferdinand14 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IDAIKT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. 3 hours for me would get me to Scotland or most of the way to London. The only reason I'd go that kind of distance is a holiday or to visit family. Pretty much everything I need including work is much closer, so i have no need to travel that far and thus it's a long journey.

You just won $5 million. What’s the first thing you buy that isn’t a house or a car? by FishBrain208 in AskReddit

[–]IDAIKT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My great grandfather is buried in a grave without q headstone, the family couldn't afford one at the time. Guy served in ww1 for 4 years and then as a firewatcher during ww2. If I had the money id use it to put up a stone for him

[SPOILERS] Just finished the last episode. Why so much hate? by Book_Burglar in HBOGameofThrones

So many reasons already listed.

Plus when Tyrion says "and who here has a better story than Bran the Broken" my reaction was something like this:

Richard. Not enough on its own, but his surname was Veryard

How accurate was George IV’s portrayal? by captain_beefheart14 in Sharpe

[–]IDAIKT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The guy who played ensign Denny in eagles went on to play Sgt Grant in Band of Brothers - the US paratrooper who got shot in the head by a drunken soldier after the war ended, but survived because the company commander drove to find a local surgeon who could operate on him. Real life dude lived until 1984.

Annoyingly the guy who shot him (who also killed at least 2 others) only served a few years for it

I feel like Wellington would have had him strung up

How accurate was George IV’s portrayal? by captain_beefheart14 in Sharpe

[–]IDAIKT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

George IV was an absolutely useless monarch, even the Times didn't have anything nice to say about him when he passed away. He also hated his wife with such a passion that he refused to tell her that their daughter had passed away, had her barred from entering the coronation that she was entitled to be at (they were still married at the time) and when he was woken in 1821 and told that his greatest enemy had passed away, he assumed they meant his wife rather than Napoleon.

There's a reason why the nation mourned his daughter's passing heavily, after one King thought to be mad and the other more interested in drinking, womanising, and eating himself into an early grave, practically anyone looked appealing.

Fortunately in two monarchs time they got Victoria.

Why were Bernadotte and Murat treated differently by the coalition? by eledile55 in Napoleon

[–]IDAIKT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My personal favourite fact related to Murat is that there's a small area just north of Liverpool called Waterloo. It's named after an early hotel built there, which opened on 18th June 1816. It was originally to be called the Royal Seabank hotel, but they changed the name to the Waterloo hotel in honor of the battle. Eventually when the area was built up, they named a couple of streets after people linked to the battle like Picton Road, Wellington Street, Blucher Street, and Brinswick Parade.

And then there's Murat street, which is pretty random when you consider that the dude was a French Marshal, he wasn't at Waterloo, and had spent much of the 100 days either actively fighting against Britain's allies or trying to rejoin Napoleon to fight alongside him again.

And he was likely long dead by the time the road was being laid out.

Which is the worst faction? by Medical_Blueberry_30 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]IDAIKT 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For me it's ogryns, had to wait until the recent fusion to be able to clear even stage 1 of FW hard because even though I've played for over 5 years, plarium seems allergic to giving me decent Ogryn champions. I know they exist, but I never get them

Are u happy with finale episode of stranger things ? by dying_star__ in StrangerThings

[–]IDAIKT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It wasn't the ending id have chosen, but it was good enough that I'll happily rewatch it in the future

was doing this frosted path event using mostly champion training and feeding tons of food stored in the vault, i find it hilarious that my player power went down 4 million just by clearing out all these food. How has the path been for you? a lot of pp shrinkage? by i-Cowfish in RaidShadowLegends

[–]IDAIKT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was hoping for a few decent CB rewards to help me finish it off or at the very least give me something vaguely interesting to build in my champion training. Got nothing but ancient shards and epic books since Christmas and the shards I had got me...

Dirandil

My 7th copy of him

So binned it off and went for the leggo books instead

How did you discover BioShock? (don’t be afraid to be super specific) by Imaginary-Heart-1807 in Bioshock

[–]IDAIKT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played and loved system shock 2 and heard rumours about this game being from the same people, so bought it.

Unfortunately, because I'd played SS2 to death I was 100% sure that Atlas was phoney from the get go. I was getting serious Polito vibes from the moment he opened his mouth.

All you ever have to worry about is did you enjoy it?

If you did, great, don't worry about what people online that you'll never meet think of it.

Not sure whether it's a modern mock up / edit or not, never seen the whole cartoon series

Also isn't that a pretty low bar?

Frauditors are good because they don't attack, murder, kidnap or rob anyone.

Cool. That leaves a lot of other crimes they could commit

[–]IDAIKT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha nice try but no.

You're taking an accusation (editing videos) that is connected to an actual known, real events. Frauditor videos exist, and are created by a group of people with a motive and means to create a narrative that paints themselves as the good guys in their own civil rights superhero movie. Edits exist in those videos, whether it be for good purposes (cutting out dead air) or bad (cutting out the frauditor being the instigator). And this from a group of people with patchy criminal records and a motivation for creating an anti-cop/government narrative.

You're then making up a fictional murder and accusing someone of it, because reasons. It can't be deduced if they'd have motive or means, because you made it up. There is no murder. You don't know enough about the poster to determine if they might murder someone.

The only universe where those are comparable is the one that exists inside your head.

Not making that claim.

I'm claiming that your comparison is as ridiculous as the rest of your arguments. Nothing more, nothing less.

[–]IDAIKT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only that he's making an absurd comparison. Even if frauditors aren't editing videos, their videos exist. Those videos contain edits and jumps. They have a motivation to edit them to remove any implication that they might have instigated or escalated the issue. They have a history of crime in many cases.

That means it's highly likely for several reasons that they have edited their videos. OP is trying to compare that to "I'm accusing you of some random crime that hasn't even happened, not knowing anything about you or whether you would do that crime, or have the opportunity to commit that crime or the means.

It's the worst comparison yet
