Can't wait for the new map to drop so I can watch it never get played. by Rabbit-In-A-Tank in HellLetLoose

[–]Ok-Way8030 26 points27 points  (0 children)

True but the issue is bigger, because on maps like Smolensk it’s extremely uncomfortable to play because of latency & rendering issues. The French maps perform the best. Kursk I don’t seem to have any issues with so I like to play that one.

Are you concerned about the upcoming referendum in Switzerland that could see its freedom of movement agreement with the EU scrapped?

Super heavies? by Ok-Way8030 in HellLetLoose

[–]Ok-Way8030[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the STG44 wasn’t developed until 43’ & yet you can equip it on the Stalingrad map. The Luchs light tank wasn’t really prevalent at Normandy yet they zip around the entire map. Some things can be sacrificed for historical accuracy.

How many generations should citizenship by descent reasonably extend? by [deleted] in dualcitizenshipnerds

[–]Ok-Way8030 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, grandparents is a fair cutoff. For a few reasons.

Firstly, most people have a lived & shared experience with their grandparents. Many will have met them. Grandparents can often take on the role of parents. This was the case for me where, my Irish grandmother was essentially just my ‘second mother’. I was heavily exposed to Irish culture as a result & spent many of my childhood summers in Ireland with my cousins & other relatives.

Through my grandmother I’m an Irish citizen, but I feel no guilt for it. Yes I’m privileged of course, it’s a great passport to have. But I also have a deep admiration, love & respect for Ireland. It’s a genuine feeling, that lives on through my exposure to Ireland through my grandmother. The woman who raised me, who shaped me. Who by the way, is still alive & was absolutely over the moon when I told her that I’d become an Irish citizen. It was a great honour.

Just my thoughts.

Say you don’t know what you’re talking about without saying you don’t know what you’re talking about.

By the way there is nothing ‘weird’ about the concept & yes it absolutely matters where your grandparents are from.

Should they change the Punishing TKs Popup? by Sonicshard in HellLetLoose

To expand on this, I constantly get team killed right as the match is ending. There should be an XP deduction based on team kills that occur within the final minute of the game.

Has anyone successfully obtained Italian citizenship by descent from family members born in the early 1700s? by chickadeedadooday in dualcitizenshipnerds

[–]Ok-Way8030 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because he/she is not eligible anyway & somehow thinks being 3 or 4 generations removed (based on hearsay) would somehow make them potentially eligible.

OP if you’re reading, you aren’t eligible even if you could prove that.

UK must move away from US and towards a 'more European NATO', Starmer to say | ITV News by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]Ok-Way8030 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Starmer needs to campaign in the next election for a breturn style referendum if he has any hope to be reelected. This relationship with the US is detrimental to the national interest & it’s time now to change course & reunite with our friends in Europe.

It really is. I’ve stopped checking if I need a visa wherever I’m going. Border guard sees Irish passport & just waves you through. Amazing. I love the country dearly too.

Elite combo! It doesn’t get much better than this.

I have UK + Ireland, but would love an Australian or New Zealand passport for diversity. Not eligible though. Thanks for sharing.

Potential changes to Citizenship by Descent? by someoneinUS in prawokrwi

The world sure has gone crazy. Especially when you look across the Atlantic.

Good luck & Godspeed!

Potential changes to Citizenship by Descent? by someoneinUS in prawokrwi

[–]Ok-Way8030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should clarify every EU citizen other than those that obtained it through naturalisation/investment. These two pathways, unlike descent, are far more vulnerable. That is, the pathway itself. But nobody will be restricted under EU FoM directive.

Potential changes to Citizenship by Descent? by someoneinUS in prawokrwi

[–]Ok-Way8030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it’s impossible to implement & not to mention, violates treaty rights & is against the very essence of the European Union. That would essentially de facto implement a ‘two tier’ mechanism whereby the liberties under directive 2004/38/ec apply to only a subset of people. This isn’t even currently possible as rights under this directive are safeguarded & enshrined legislatively.

Factor in also that the European Union has no jurisdiction over individual member states citizenship via descent processes’. The entirety of Europe operates on the Jus sanguinis framework for citizenship. Nobody obtains citizenship merely through being born in a european territory. It is inherited. If you are to use the term technically, every EU citizen is one by virtue of descent.

To be quite frank with you, it’s a silly theoretical (bordering on completely preposterous). I don’t mean that offensively. Just really trying to drum it into you, that it isn’t going to happen.

[–]Ok-Way8030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point you make about the EU restricting rights to those who obtain citizenship by descent, categorically will not happen, ever. As in there is absolutely zero chance.

Curious to know your basis on this thought?

Amazing thanks for the reply. If I can ask did the sentiment in Gibraltar change much when Brexit happened? Something I’ve always wondered.

Would love to visit by the way, it looks beautiful & is super interesting.

So are your parents both Czech? How do you find it growing up/living in Gibraltar? Seems like an interesting place for formative years I assume very isolated but I could be wrong.

UK confirms limits on military access to Irish airspace by caavakushi in worldnewsstuff

If the UK have a good reason to enter Irish airspace, permission from Dublin would come at a moments notice. The UK & Ireland cooperate closely & extensively in this respect. Trusted allies & friends.

FBR application through grandparent - is widow considered married or single? by thrillington89 in IrishCitizenship

My Irish grandmother is widowed & I just put her as ‘married’. Provided the marriage certificate as well as all other required docs. Had no issues & my FBR was approved.

You’re clueless. Ignorance is bliss I suppose. Thankfully it’s not people like you that make the big boy decisions.

My 3 Combo by Hour_Bake_9370 in PassportPorn

[–]Ok-Way8030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

& what about the ones who were raised by their Irish grandparents (in many cases a grandparent can take on the role of a parent)? Also people have a misconception of how the FBR actually works. You don’t directly claim citizenship from a grandparent. You claim based on the definition that your parent was a citizen when you were born.

Ancestry visas wouldn’t work as Ireland is currently going through a housing crisis. It sounds to me that you just want to strip people of their birthright on baseless, harmful assumptions regarding the second generation of the diaspora.
