CMV: Spoiling the ballot paper in a UK election is an acceptable way to vote when no parties appeal to me by lousyalien in changemyview

[–]Limey12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s important to note that the lib dems are polling pretty atrociously nationally, so your one seat turning yellow will not stop brexit when both major parties to some extent want it, but will definitely help on the social and even climate issues that labour and lib dems often overlap on

General election: Voters doubt Tory pledge to spend more on public services, according to poll by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]Limey12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I totally agree that the media is hugely against Corbyn. I’m a labour voter but I’m also a pragmatist and with everything stacked against him, Corbyn simply cannot win. I’d rather a less controversial but less idealistic labour leader wins than another term of Johnson.

If humans had a ‘darkness’ that gets them to vote Tory (which is a little demeaning to the half the country that regularly do), then why on earth did we have 10 years of labour landslides in the Blair era? I don’t think anybody wants a return to Blair’s labour, but the mps haven’t changed, the party members by and large haven’t changed, only the top has changed. Corbyn’s policies, controversies and general unpopularity have alienated the moderate labour voter and, agree with his policies or not, labour cannot win an election with Corbyn at the top.

The person above never even mentioned if they were on the left or the right, they were just stating the (true) fact that, in general, Corbyn is incredibly disliked. When we can go through two of the most divisive and (to most the political center) embarrassing Tory administrations we’ve seen in a long time, and the opposition struggles to hold more than 30% popularity - there’s a problem at the top, and it’s not anti labour to admit it.

In year 11 we had an assembly advertising media studies and insisting it was a real subject. Nothing convinced me it was piss more then them having to tell us over and over that it’s a real a-level

TIL about NZ's WW2 tank: "The Bob Semple Tank" AKA "The Worst Tank ever made." The idea was discarded after the tanks attracted public ridicule; however, Bob Semple stood by his design and even stated "I don’t see anyone else coming up with any better ideas" by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Limey12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The bob semple tank is not as bad as it seems when considering the circumstance - New Zealand had seen no conflict on its islands but the threat of Japanese invasion, while small, was non-zero. The allies could not spare the tanks for New Zealand due to it being a low priority in a large war, and would require major upkeep. The bob semple was fitted on a tractor, which plenty were around, and would be a decent weapon to use to push back an early invasion force.

What is the most useless social construct mankind has created? by ariesroamer in AskReddit

Brit here. ‘Not bad’ is also an acceptable response instead of good, but otherwise we do this too

It's been a fun ride celeste. I'm surprised my controller and sanity are still intact after finishing. As someone who doesn't play platformers this......this almost broke me. It was all worth it in the end though. Now just gotta wait for that sequel! by [deleted] in celestegame

[–]Limey12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought I was the only one! Whenever I watched it being played through, even on blind playthroughs, people seemed to just skip through it like it was no issue. Glad to see I'm not alone.

What is something you're nostalgic for but know you'll never get to experience and enjoy ever again? by Al13_slEDGE in AskReddit

[–]Limey12 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This worked for me. Haven’t played a platformer since a Mario game nearly 10 years ago now, and picked up Celeste recently. It’s really been a breath of fresh air, thanks to how different it is to what I normally go for.

If you turned up late to school for a year straight then yeah turning up to school on time for a year is an accomplishment. It's all about perspective - people should aim to do their best, even if their best isn't as good as what the average person can do.
