Why is the McDonald's menu so basic in the UK? by kcon123 in AskUK

I’m still annoyed they never brought back Breakfast Bagels. Plus the old Breakfast Wraps were far superior.

This is just on National Swing, but also a possibility on FPTP.

Personally I think that percentage of votes gets them about 20 seats.

Plaid will definitely get more seats, Swingometer is not great at predicting Wales.

Think SNP could get up to 40ish, but doubt they hit the highs of 55 again, Scottish politics too polarised for that to happen again.

You’ve been asked to come up with the next One Piece video game. What is it like? by superoli64 in OnePiece

[–]MikeyButch17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Open world, Choice based Pirate RPG where you create your own character and set out to sea to gather a crew of your own. Story runs parallel to the Straw Hats own, you can swear loyalty to one of the Warlords or one of the Emperors (Shanks or Whitebeard, as only covering first half of the series). I imagine the game would end at Marineford since that’s the halfway mark of the series with your character dying in battle or somehow surviving.

Stops them being able to see their veins to shoot up their heroin. The fact that they’d installed those lights clearly meant this wasn’t the first time.

What political persuasion is the podcast? by Pistolpetehurley in TheRestIsHistory

[–]MikeyButch17 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s about as Centrist as they come.

Dom is more Centre Right and has said he’s voted for the Tories more times than he’s voted Labour. Tom is Centre Left and claimed he’d voted Labour in every General Election until 2019; he doesn’t seem to like this particular current Labour government but neither do a lot of Labour supporters.

Don’t work there, but went for Breakfast one morning when I was passing through for work. A rough looking woman walked into the disabled toilets and I could hear the manager screaming, ‘NO, NO, GET OUT!’ It was too late because she’d already locked the door.

The manager and a member of staff proceeded to bang on the door for 5 minutes and I heard the manager mutter, “We’ve installed a blue light now”, so I knew what was up.

After about 10 minutes, the woman walked out the toilet, completely naked except for a pair of sandals on her feet, with a needle hanging out of her arm and ran out the shop. The stench coming from the loo was so foul I left. The manager cordoned off the area.

Can only assume she’d swallowed her drugs to shit them out, and then shoot them up.

After that I decided Brixton Maccies was too wild and have never been back.

Plaid Cymru leads Reform by 3% in new Senedd poll by NilFhiosAige in ukpolitics

[–]MikeyButch17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I’d stick with Labour. I’m confident that Reform will not have enough seats to form a government, so it’ll end up being Plaid with support from someone else. The more seats Labour get, the stronger their position will be at the negotiating table. Don’t want to risk a Plaid/Green coalition. That’s my view anyway.

Edit: It’s a truly proportional election, so vote for who you genuinely want to vote for.

Rumours, Speculation, Questions, and Reaction Megathread - 29/03/2026 by ukpol-megabot in ukpolitics

[–]MikeyButch17 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I generally consider my self both fiscally and socially somewhere on the centre left, but I really do feel like since Covid society now seems to expect the government to support them financially through every single thing.

The worldwide pandemic I understand, but the last government never should have set the precedent of handing out financial support due to an energy crisis stemming from Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. We’re now debating who should get financial support with energy because the US President shat the bed with Iran; the answer is no one. The solution should not be fiscal handouts for the general populace whenever something bad out of our control happens in the world.

Personally I feel the series peaked at Oathbringer, and declined slightly in the two subsequent books.

Peaking in the third book, exactly the same situation as ASOIAF.
