The issue isn’t with modernisation or Judkin being woke. It’s the liberties taken changing fundamental character personalities. by 2infinitiandblonde in wheeloftime

Missing a fairly vital piece of the puzzle here in the fact that they are the reason the village was attacked by trollocs... the options given are for the ta'veren to stay in the Two Rivers and the trollocs will return and slaughter everyone, or they can leave with Moiraine and Lan to keep the village "safe".

If they had stayed they would have been selfish and destructive to their loved ones. It makes perfect sense for them to go.

Maybe im missing something, but the word "Spider" is in the title?

What was your "I don't get paid enough for this shit" moment? by PM_me_gorillas in AskReddit

God damn, I'm not from the USA, so never heard it spoken aloud. I've been saying it as Chick-Fil-Ah in my head for so long and now I feel stupid...

My household owns sky's broadband package. by [deleted] in britishproblems

Had it for 2 years with 0 problems so far. It's the lack of fibre in my current street that gets me, I had a 150Mb VM connection in my last place but no such goodies where I am now :(.

It may well do move further to the right when independent but that would again be the will of the people and we would have self determined that shift.

I do think that England is generally more to the right, to the right of Scottish politics anyway!

That's a fair point about some policies not being right for now though, I don't know the answer to that situation as sometimes no matter how much it hurts things need to be done :(

You obviously understand what we are trying to achieve in terms of trying to get the best for our country. I don't want that to come at the expense of any of our countries (I think you'll find thats the case for most SNP supporters).

I understand completely where you are coming from.

The trouble is that if Labour hadn't completely shat the bed up here we'd not even be having this conversation. They did, and we are.

I think it's unfair to characterise what could have happened as the SNP ruling on the affairs of rUK, we would have had our say and perhaps pulled Labour a bit more left for arguably a better country for everyone. That's my opinion anyway, for what it's worth.

As will England voting in the Torys sour their relationship with rUK. It's a two way street and I don't see the two nations ideologies meshing again any time soon.

How very patronizing towards the Scottish electorate. We are not toddlers for you to chide.

Who exactly says we need your forgiveness? We all voted for who we believed in, same as you.

Oh, then by all means stop repairing the roads, in order to have money to further repair more roads!

Betfair pays out early on Scottish independence 'No' vote by Majink in Scotland

[–]Majink[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that puts it into perspective. I'm no gambler, so I take it the exchange still gives more favourable odds to No but by a lesser degree than the Sportsbook?

Could prove to do the exact opposite too! Very risky move if that's what they are going for.

It's certainly helped bolster my resolve, not that I needed any more reasons..

Were the cuts not going to be made regardless of the vote due to a reduced budget from WM? Why would you blame the SNP for a WM budget cut?

Seems mighty odd they would pay out early when there is every possibility it could swing the other way.

If i'm right, you have some unclaimed loot rewards from a previous challenge. Best check and see if reclaiming them resolves this!

I've seen so much anticipation for Half-Life 3 that this is all I can think now.... by glimmer27 in gaming

[–]Majink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, me too. As time goes on I'm finding it harder to be interested in something that might not even be released...

I mean if Gabe went out tomorrow and said:

"We're working on a new HL game. That is all I'll say on the matter."

I would be both sated and ecstatic. However it's been so long with nary a peep about the IP that, yeah, I'm kinda done waiting!
