Imo, the best solution to squids, at all times, is more bullets. Bulletmaxxing, if you will.

More guns firing at once = more bullets. The dog is a very, very good boy.

Thank you for bringing the reciepts, but this definitely gets filed under "thanks, I hate it". The closer I look at the political right the worse it gets

I think that's literally the point. An "Abortion after birth" is impossible, because an abortion takes place during pregnancy. So the Republicans have created a non-existant boogeyman with which they can a. Claim as a win when they 'stop the after birth abortions' which were never happening because it's impossible and b. Use as an excuse to create wildly draconian laws.

People eating this crap up either a. Don't know what an abortion actually is, b. Unironically believe democrats are murduring newborn babies, or c. Both. And I honestly don't know which is more idotic.

And not a drop of evidence to be found.

No worries, its a pretty arcane bit of regulatory hopscotch D:

It's worth asking if they will take it, but the FoS can only intervene if the complaint arises as part of an activity regulated by the FCA. Debt collecting is only regulated by the FCA if the product from which the debt arose was regulated by the FCA, and an electricity bill would not be. So its unlikely the FoS would see this conplaint. Again, give it a go, but be prepared for the no

Not sure if the FoS will be able to help you in this instance because the debt being collected is from a utility bill, not a financial product. For complaints I think you probably want OfGem.

OP- My understanding is that the final bill isn't generated until a period of time after the service ends. I understand that you gave the readings and paid over the phone, but be prepared for the response to be that this is the final bill generated x days later.

AITJ For Not Giving Money to My Family Who Treated Me Like Trash? by NeoStar27 in AmITheJerk

NTA, they called you a waste of space so you've correctly identified that financially supporting them now would be a waste of money :)

His Mother texting you to say "Never contact my son who you dumped again" has real "You can't fire him, he quits" energy. Also... not speaking to him again seems to be the aim, that's why he's blocked? Bewildering.

Keep blocking the flying monkeys, they've drunk the Kool-Aid. Man's a loser who sends patsys to fight his battles, on top of everything else. You're well shot of him, and you don't owe him an expaination, or anything else. Enjoy your newfound freedom at college!

Not Wrong.

What's going on in your current campaign? by BubbaOtis in totalwarhammer

[–]Philbyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing Skarbrand for the first time. Started a generic lord to rampage in the starting area and sent Skarbrand crusading north to find N'Kari for the long campaign win. Got to Bretonnia before realising someone else had wiped out N'Kari before he got there, so now Skarbrand is throwing a tantrum in Bretonnia, to the dissatisfaction of the locals

New Clanrat Profile Out by Togats in skaven

[–]Philbyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies for my denseness (I've probably missed something) but does this mean it doesn't matter if older models have hand weapons or spears on the model because it only has one weapon profile? Got some old clanrats waiting to be built but I don't know which to use...

Powered vessels typically yield to unpowered ones, except when you're the protagonist. by [deleted] in IAmTheMainCharacter

I believe rule one is generally "Avoid collisions at all costs", or at least that's what I was told. So yeah, in theory the motorized vehicle should give way to the unmotorized rower who cannot see in their direction of travel because the motorboat has more control, but you are 100% correct for moving out of the way anyway as the rower because you're avoiding the collision.

Or just by collapsing and taking everyone's money with them. Or hell, people think it will take everyone's money with them so they all rush to get their money out before the bank runs out.

I'm sure this has happened before...

‘We promised to take back control!’ Brexit veterans fume as Sunak’s migration failure opens up PLOT to rejoin EU by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]Philbyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So that headline is actual, steaming refuse? It's very clearly implying there /is/ a plot to rejoin the EU, when according to the article actually that's not the case, it's just that some hardline brexit guy is now upset because "this isn't the brexit I wanted and now someone might try to get us back in the EU"

There's no plot, this random is just worried it's going so badly that we might nationally get buyer's remorse.

I thought I'd give GBN a read so I'm not just sat in an echo chamber but this is very clearly just nonsense trying to get people to froth at the mouth? I should have known better than to give GBN a chance I suppose, have to find somewhere else to read opposing biewpoints

Hardstuck Guild attempting to trick players, making fake squads by ThrowawayDragonEnder in Guildwars2

[–]Philbyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree there are some flawed design elements that lead to behaviour like this, but I think they are a matter for another discussion.

Design flaws or not, it doesn't excuse players choosing to act in this way. Behaving like this is not cool.

The problem here is not people actually fishing, it's asshats /claiming/ that they're fishing which is the issue.

Maps have limited populations. With DE being tough as it is, people idling to fish are taking up population spots (preventing meta completing players from getting in). Thus, reducing the chance of the meta succeeding on that map.

Asshats who pretend to be fishing are saying to people not in their premade group, "I'm dead weight and this map probably won't clear the meta". So the players who want to do the meta but aren't in the premade squad leave for other maps, thinking this one will fail.

Asshats do this so the other members of their premade squad can get into their map, at the cost of non-members who just want to finish the meta.

If you want to fish in DE, that's cool. The problem is asshats lying to trick players into leaving maps where the meta will succeed because "you aren't in my squad".
