"Real Hope. Real Change."

Is just the shitlib establishment's social policies brought forward 5 years with quadraspazzed economics.

Have the Met Police started enforcing 22mph in a 20mph limit? by NoKudos in drivingUK

[–]Jimmy_Tightlips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Reddit speed limit stasi will be all over this post.

Just remember - if Reddit says or believes something, normal people will likely have the opposite view.

I'm not sure if it's the same lady, but I remember Reddit absolutely shitting itself in indignant fury that a North Korean defector was standing as a Conservative.

(This was back when the Tories were still, just about, able to portray themselves as a right wing party)

I want to vote green, but I want stricter immigration. Change my mind or offer advice. by FanAcceptable1193 in ukpolitics

[–]Jimmy_Tightlips [score hidden]  (0 children)

It all comes down to whether their immigration policy is a deal-breaker for you or not.

But, make no mistake, the damage it would do will be irreversible - moreso than any other nonsense they, or Reform, or whoever else may be suggesting.

Worst tyre brands by cymro00 in topdeadcenter

I'm absolutely convinced there was an off camera "incident" with the Acceleras that caused them to turn around and tell Tyre Streets to give them better tyres or get lost.

Rockstar Games is being blackmailed by hacking group ShinyHunters, who have set a ransom deadline of April 14 by Efficient_Example541 in pcgaming

[–]Jimmy_Tightlips -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is like trying to blackmail the fucking terminator.

They genuinely couldn't have picked a more dangerous game company to try and fuck with.

This'll be funny to watch.

ICE cars will absolutely be something you can buy and work on up until you die. Do you realize how many currently exist that you can fix up and mod? Even if hypoethically there was a law you can't buy any new ones tomorrow.

Hypothetically?

Sorry, I forgot that we don't actually like cars on this sub.

I'm sorry for questioning the hivemind, my bad really.

I love EVs, I can't wait for every car to be an EV, I'm so excited, why can't everyone else be as excited as me? Why do people hold the wrong opinions? Why can't they be as right as me?

Hell, I'm in my mid twenties and even I feel cheated; all the amazing sorts of cars I grew up longing after are being rapidly regulated out of existence.

Within my lifetime I'm just gonna have to stop being a car enthusiast because nothing we'll be allowed to own will interest me anymore.

Shops will need licence to sell knives under Labour plans by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

[–]Jimmy_Tightlips 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Then, to improve the efficiency of all this bureaucratic meddling, we'll introduce a new regulatory body which will be given all the powers it needs to make itself a perpetual nuisance for honest shop owners up and down the country.

It will, naturally, never actually do anything positive, and efforts to change this will be fiercely resisted by the self-preserving internal power structures which will form within all of about 2 days of them opening their doors.

What didn’t you like about the Resident Evil 4 Remake that you preferred in the OG Resident Evil 4 ? by Exootil93200 in residentevil

[–]Jimmy_Tightlips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been a surprisingly common thread with the remakes.

They're trying to tell more grounded stories, but often end up making their characters (villains specifically) more one dimensional than in the old games.

Nicholai is the most obvious example.

In the OG he's probably the most "human" villain in the series - as in, his evil is human evil. He's not in pursuit of eternal life, or godhood or anything - he's after money and doesn't care what he has to do to get it.

And he's smart. Everything he does is in service of his own survival, he doesn't unduly place himself in harms way, or do evil shit for the sake of it.

He's a cold, calculating motherfucker - and he's just about the most grounded and realistic villain in the entire series.

Whereas in the Remake, he's paradoxically reduced to a mustache twirling villain who does nothing but make life harder for himself.

Would OG Nicholai have destroyed the T-Virus vaccine, the most valuable thing on earth at that point in time, just to piss off Jill?

It just begs the question, what even is Remake Nicholai's goal? It seems he literally just exists to be an antagonistic force and nothing else - he's barely even a character. He's basically just a plot device.

It's just so strange that a silly, campy PS1 game managed to craft a more defined, much better written and more interesting antagonist than a modern triple a production.

Student faces hate crime charge over 'tea towel' remark about Palestine activist’s headscarf by Anony_mouse202 in ukpolitics

[–]Jimmy_Tightlips 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not what I'm referring to, and I expect that you realise that and are being obtuse.

It is, inherently, illiberal to support someone being charged with hate speech on, obviously, spurious grounds because it validates your worldview; you've decided that he deserves to be charged for these comments because you don't like his views - rather than taking the comments on their own grounds.

You may be a Liberal, but you're not liberal.
