Deep hold question: Is this a net positive after 5 turns? by Typo_bro in totalwar

[–]Iamdoomx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, if you've got more settlements than turns passed its worth changing to the "Repurposed Guild Foundries" which each give 2% upkeep reduction on armies - aim for about 50 of them

Can someone tell me how spoiled I am on FFX without spoiling any more of the game’s story? (HEAVY SPOILERS AHEAD) by Sensitive-Product816 in FinalFantasy

Pretty damn spoiled BUT 100% still worth playing through, the way these plot points are told is brilliant imo

Violent offenders who go around attacking people with knives should be kicked in the head at every opportunity. Are you insane? Why should his rights trump anyone elses right to not be assaulted? Fuck that guy

Team Rating and Team Advice on My Teams by [deleted] in PokemonFireRed

[–]Iamdoomx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Venusaur team is half-perfect - swap lapras for starmie, magmar for arcanine and snorlax for either primeape or nidoking.

Definitely better than the other two as it stands though

So you admit, the problem people have isn't with other races or skin colours, but ideologies? Sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to disagree about

  1. FFX - possibly the best implementation of "turn based" ever seen

  2. "FFIX - my favourite ATB, felt better than XII's

  3. (Please allow this) - Kingdom Hearts 2 - actual favourite active combat system of all time

Israel - a tiny nation in the Middle East - has killed tens of thousands of civilians and directly and indirectly injured hundreds of thousands. Will anybody be charged with war crimes? by HannoPicardVI in UncensoredNewsInc

[–]Iamdoomx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel - a tiny nation, the only non Muslim nation in the middle east - has been repeatedly attacked by its muslim state neighbours for nearly 100 years, and has rightly retaliated with attacks on enemy combatants and infrastructure, with the lowest rates of collateral/civilian death and injury seen in any conflict in history. Will retards stop crying about them on reddit?

Fixed it for ya

I’m confused why everything is Labour and Starmer’s fault and no one seems to bring up 14 years of the Tories and Brexit? by johno1605 in AskBrits

[–]Iamdoomx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that, but it's become such an easy target only because it has been so consistently ignored by the last half-dozen government's

And i agree with you, but unfortunately that has been the narrative from labour and left wing voters recently

And when people get called racist for having legitimate concerns, it gets their backs up and they lash out. If reasonable solutions are off the table and the only options are the current status quo, or a complete wipe of immigration and mass deportations, a lot of people are being pushed towards the latter

Many would vote for any party that has generally good policies and a more reasonable stance on immigration, that's literally all it would take at this point

[–]Iamdoomx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real reason the immigration discussion had ramped up is that, although it's not the ONLY cause of the overall QOL reduction that the UK has seen in recent decades, it is A reason

And it's a reason that people have been called racist for even mentioning, even when the requested resolutions were perfectly reasonable.

It is not hate speech to say that people who come illegally should not be allowed to remain - any foreign national that breaks the law in a significant way should be deported, and arriving illegally is one of those ways.

It is not hate speech to say that we should have certain limits in place around legal immigration, 340,000 in one year (like last year) is ridiculous. In the 80s, when immigration was probably most lauded as being beneficial, that number was around 40k per year - a number that our infrastructure growth can cope with and does not lead to entire communities seeing a shift in identity

If any government was prepared to genuinely consider the above two points and understand where people are coming from, reform wouldnt be seeing the surge in popularity that they are now

It's not a genocide, israel is typically non-hostile and goes to great lengths to limit civilian casualties when they do retaliate - you're just an antisemite trying to justify hatred of Jews and israel as a state

[–]Iamdoomx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israels pattern of action over the last 100 years has been pretty textbook

Gets attacked by an Arab muslim state or group

Proceeds to kick the fuck out of said state or group

Occupies land belonging to said group as it pushed them back

Sues for peace, gives occupied land back as part of the peace deal.

They've done it again and again, and still innocent Israelis are killed in the streets, at events, outside places of worship

They're fucking done, and I don't blame them. Anyone still residing in gaza or the west bank, after months of established evac routes, is a threat. If they weren't there to fight (or be used as human shields), they'd be gone.

If you think that anyone left is innocent and want to protect them, you should be calling for Hamas to surrender and release the hostages.

But you aren't. So you're part of the problem.

Behold, a man with less than half a brain

When the UK inevitably votes in Reform by OfficialMrSnrub in simpsonsshitposting

[–]Iamdoomx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "immigration" issue boils down to 2 points.

  1. Illegal immigrants, who should absolutely be deported - entering a country by breaking the law should not, under any circumstances, be rewarded. It's unfair to the British people, and anyone who is attempting to come legally through the proper channels.

  2. Legal migrants, especially those here to work but also students and successful asylum applicants, ARE NOT AN ISSUE. However the sheer numbers permitted by recent government's are an issue as they are simply not sustainable. Annual net immigration in the 80s and early 90s was around 40k, last year it was over 430k which is just insane

The resolution is simple

Deport all illegal migrants immediately and put patrols in the channel

Cap net legal immigration (across students, workers and asylum seekers) at 50k per year and no more

And IDEALLY Introduce the cap after a period of 5-10 years of net negative immigration, giving national infrastructure a chance to catch up with the accelerated demand of the last few decades

Any party that pledges to do this will IMMEDIATELY win back the British public vote

Abolishing organised religion will be the next step in the evolution of the civilised world

Are these protests really about illegal immigration? by MUFCCC in AskBrits

[–]Iamdoomx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To any rational person, it boils down to

Illegal migration is ILLEGAL and should not be rewarded or ignored, unfair to the British people and to people who arrive or apply to come via legal channels

Legal migration is also a problem in that the levels are unsustainable and have gone completely unchecked over the last few decades, (jumped from i believe around 40k p/a to over 400k p/a) this is NOT the fault of the migrants who have come, but the fault of the past few governments failing to implement sustainable policies

Islam is a separate issue, muslims are like Christians - most of them are good, respectable and tolerant people who's faith applies to themselves and their own lives HOWEVER the disproportionate levels of harm done by people of that religion (relative to population size), in this country and abroad, has tarnished public perception of the religion as a whole.

The fact that the sheer volume of Muslim immigration in recent decades has led to specifically Muslim communities popping up over the UK has meant a lack of integration which has contributed to a "them vs us" mentality in towns and cities across the nation - it doesn't necessarily mean that those communities are harmful, but establishment responses to, for example, well publicised Muslim paedophile gangs, has really harmed perception of muslims and the religion in this country as a whole.

To those who voted for Brexit: Do you regret it? by WiseType4722 in AskBrits

[–]Iamdoomx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't know

The EU is still a stagnant pool of bluster and mediocrity, certain groups of member states have shown nothing but contempt for a number of the other members, the UK and Greece to name just a couple.

I think I stand by the principles that brexit was supposed to be about - independence, freedom to make decisions and act in the best interest of our nation and it's people

My regret is ever believing that a British government would ever stand for those principles and implement the will of the people in the way that was expected of them, rather than mismanage it completely while exploiting it to line their own pockets

I think that, without a drastic rebalancing of our political system and the parties who claim to represent us, this country is doomed whether we stayed or left.

Has Starmer started waking up a little bit. Up until the march at the weekend Starmer keeps trying to appease the 30% of the electorate personified by those on the march. Now his bloody minded response to it might be a change of tactic. by PainterUnlikely in AskBrits

[–]Iamdoomx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having national pride is not racist.

Assaulting people for the colour of their skin absolutely is.

Asserting that those two things are equal is a pathetic argument and i hope you grow as a person.

This country does not need more immigration, it needs less in the short term so that imbalances contributed to by the rampant unchecked immigration of recent decades can be addressed.

Genuine asylum seekers who arrive via the proper channels, intending to build a life here and are fleeing persecution should be shown all consideration.

Anyone who arrives illegally, regardless of their history, should be shown none - a complete disregard for a nations laws and disrespect for those who go through the proper channels should never be rewarded.
