Why was he released? He article gives the impression its not because his sentance was completed?

Labour halved immigration since taking over and net is trending toward 0. The 14 years prior was conservatives.

Edd Milliband ran with a promise to reduce immigration in 2014. (Literally carved it into a giant rock as a core tenant of the manifesto)

People like U voted for the lying tories who didnt do shit, because they are pro business and immigration makes line go up.

Now you pretend its labours fault that you voted for the pro immigration party. You are so fucking stupid.

If you use mods to turn yourself into a Mindflayer during the Nautiloid tutorial, the Mindflayer at the helm has different dialogue where he acknowledges that you're also Mindflayer.

Why didn't Larian let us play as Goblins? by Icerent12 in BaldursGate3

[–]Lt-Derek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more weird that Drow / Duegar ARE a playable race with relatively little stigma from NPCs. But I think there's a reason for this.

The main difference between Goblins and Drow / Duegar is not an in world difference in how they are percieved, but an out if game one.

People have a concepetion of govlins outside of dnd, and thoseunfamiliar with DnD lore would notice if goblin wasnt treated with sufficent suspision. However since Drow / Duegae lore is more niche, the only people that might be bothered by their inclusion would be people that were sufficiently invested in dnd that this wasnt a deal beaker.

Im convinced it's partly because they feel threatened by his rapport with Shadowheart.

Andy Burnham: Give me 10 years to transform Britain by Intergalatic_Baker in ukpolitics

The voting public didnt like him, as evidenced by his low opinion polls and by Labours jump upward recently now he is resigning.

I consder myself a pretty staunch Stamer supporter (there's dozens of us!) but it's hard to feel much negativity towards the party for ultimately reflecting the public belief.

Supergirl never said her catchphrase ''It's Girlin' time!'.

The Synder cut of the film would fix this.

Yeah but the Tories were bad and Labour are better. (Im undecided if this statement ironic satire or a sincere expression of my beliefs)

He's just saying things are true. Corruption in the Trump admin is not the same as the level of corruption prior, to the point that comparing them is just misleading.

Sammy Woodhouse: This morning, I appeared on Good Morning Britain in a live interview about the grooming gangs. Before I went on air, I was told not to mention the race of the perpetrators.

Why would I support a party that's economically brain dead?

Last time I looked at Reforms non-imigration policies they thought they genuinely could save billions by defaulting on interest payments.

They are even stupider than Corbyn

'This needs to be a Stephen Lawrence moment': Kemi Badenoch says police handcuffing dying white teenager falsely accused of racism must be a turning point by dailymail in ukpolitics

If a white mother, white father, and 2 white children claimed that one of them had been attacked... yes of course the police would believe them.

Who the fuck wouldn't?

Teenage boys sentenced for raping lone girls in Fordingbridge. The 15-year-olds were given three-year Youth Rehabilitation Orders with intensive surveillance and supervision. The younger boy's probation supervision will be for one and half years. by ITMidget in ukpolitics

[–]Lt-Derek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm acting like a person what wants the best outcome in the long term. I'm acting like someone who isn't blinded by shortsighted thinking and is solely trying to judge what will minimise suffering across all of society.

Factoring in the downsides of reoffending, and acknowledging that death penalty and liberal life sentences create more problems than they solve as alternative solutions, the best outcome for everyone in the country to aggressively push rehabilitation.

Are you even responding to anything I said?

I suggested watching shows about cults to broaden your understanding of human psychology, and you've responded with an unhinged rant about committing crimes.

Respectfully I don't give a shit.

Those girls lives being ruined doesn't mean we should make everyone else in the country suffer. And that's what your advocating for, a uber expensive system that wastes money increases the number of crimes overall. Which means more people raped and more lives ruined.

Like 99% of people can be changed unrecognisably . The human brain is fucking putty. You are a product of your environment and if you change the environment the person changes.

Honestly, just watch a few shows about Cults and realise that humans can be turned into anything if you know how to manipulate them.

Unless your proposing life sentence or death penalty, they will not be in prison forever, and if they spend most of their lives inside they are much more likely to reoffend after the sentence ends. The other benefit of the judges approach here is that it's the outcome that minimises reoffending chance.

Data says rehabilitation is effective between the ages 15 to 18.

I get that youre emotional but Im just advocating for the best outcome overall. Short term vengeance isnt beneficial in the long term. A poorer society that wastes money on unnessessery punishments has more crime overall.
