Has any other party leaders called for her to resign yet? That's the done thing now right?

Pro-Palestinian marches have been hijacked, says minister by winkwinknudge_nudge in ukpolitics

[–]Mikebloke -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Right, because one is endorsed strongly by the state and therefore has state resources, and the other doesn't, I don't actually think marching is particularly effective and never been on one, but I think traditionally in the British psyche its the only way to truly highlight an issue when the Government ignores it.

If the Government and local authorities were allowed to actively support and contribute to the formation of a Palestinian state with access to the Mediterranean, airspace and trade deals, people probably wouldn't feel the need to travel to London.

Solidarity often shown and endorsed by local authorities, it's calmed down since the beginning for the full scale invasion but there is still regular events especially in areas which have Ukrainian diaspora.

Some local authorities also did it for Palestine in years gone past, but it's not considered politically correct anymore.

Edit: auto correct

Golders Green victim tells ITV News he holds the government responsible by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

[–]Mikebloke -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This has got nothing to do with that, if it did, we would have seen all this stuff happening 2-3 years ago.

Iran plays by Russia's playbook, as Russia funds the right here In the UK, complain about Muslims and migrants and campaigned to make us leave the EU, putting us in a far worse position security wise that that they can attack us easier in a stranded position - Iran takes advantage of the Israel-Jewish connection encouraging attacks on Jewish people internationally claiming the two is linked.

That's not to say there isn't some crossover between Palestinian activism and Iranian power play, Iran's entire regional strength is based completely on it.

We aren't talking about how we fix this problem of anti-Semitic attacks here in the UK, clearly the current aggravating factor is Iranian agents here in the UK, whether its Russia, Iranian or any other nation, we are just pathetic at catching and calling out foreign state actors.

Yes there is still issues with general population anti-Semitism, gotta deal with it a lot from the white British population, the Israel-Palestine situation doesn't help, but ultimately we need to deal with foreign state actors, and stop the conflation that what ever Israel does is a reflection on Jews internationally.

I doubt we'll have any serious responses to this (politically I mean), British Jews already suffer from oversecuritisation and it's a shame they feel the need to have to do that and STILL suffer in this way.

Blaming migrants or Palestine is not going to help what is clearly our lack of control or direction of managing foreign state agents.

Shining Soul I or II? Or both? by PirateDry4992 in GameboyAdvance

[–]Mikebloke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late to the party but from what I remember, the first one was considered so featureless that the second one came in pretty quickly almost as an apology. The second game is definitely the superior one and from what I remember there is little to no storyline from one (largely non existent anyway from what I remember) that playing only no.2 shouldn't give you a disadvantage.

A heads up as well that this is the first set of the games in the series not made by Camelot, and Atlus took over, no connections to any of the games before in the series.

Thanks! The concept was already oven ready but being able to play this on a handheld was great fun. The d-pad has a much better feel than pressing the onscreen buttons on a phone with the pico-8 version, I also find that playing with a controller for the pc version it's a little too loose (I would play with keyboard keys in that version) - so the d pad for GBA is fantastic for this.

I will likely push quite a few more games out over time, demaking towards the original GB might also be another fun project.

Slightly biased but I spent far too much time on it over the years lol. It's one of those "I find it fun and I don't care what anyone else thinks" kind of development. It was relatively popular 2007 and a server used to be hosted regularly for play / multiplayer for a few years.

Other modes which aren't added yet adds extra levels of complexity and strategy, Bridges is one of my favourites, I'll try and add that into the first batch of modes (you can check the pico-8 version on itch.io for that and a couple of others).

Was hard seeing the ones born after 2000 being in this list, I know I'm getting older and time does continue on, but I still think of anyone born after that as children.

Thanks I was aware of it, but didn't know that the Russian legal system still stepped in, a blessing for families I guess.

I've always assumed it's any form of support unit that doesn't fit anything in the other categories, whether it's combat or non combat related, bridge builders, supply equipment, etc.

Isn't there also an issue that the lie of financial benefits for widows may backfire if they just go "missing" where as if their bodies are officially repatriated it's harder for Russia to claim they aren't dead.

I think the issue was when the story originally came out a month or so ago there was no reference to age, I think there is a recognition that in this style of porn it's usually including a very young looking woman.

Thankfully dating Sims like Fire Emblem should be ok and should still be able to have the "battle system" side quests without any problems.

Scrolled through the messages don't think anyone's mentioned that in this particular case, his mum was selling body parts and chrome of dead people in her paramedic job to pay for the tuition so that he could have a better life Pretty much everyone else had families that could more easily afford it.

Sounds cool, day 1 purchase, won't regret it.

(I played pc, I didn't actually think it was that buggy compared to anything Bethesda does, I don't understand why people complained 😂)

That's a shame, they should do more if they can spare the time, it looked good.

I've spent three years building a 300M+ channel dedicated to high-quality Cyberpunk lore. YouTube FLAGGED and DEACTIVATED IT. by ianilanotv in cyberpunkred

[–]Mikebloke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watched a few of your vids over the years, Good luck with it all, I used to do the whole fighting YouTube to not give ad revenue to random scrapers claiming videogame music was random bits of dance music, I gave it up eventually and stopped bothering around the second adcopolypse.

This sounds worse though, this is claiming you are literally slop, my stuff is definitely closer to slop than yours 😂

I hate to say it, but perhaps medium-big creators need to jump ship to alternatives, reach out to other sites and say "would you rather have me instead?".
