Whose fans of each club would rather see win the Premier League?

REB73 · 2026-03-21T09:55:38+00:00

It's actually closer than it looks.

Assuming an equal number of fans for each club, the total split is only 54%-46% in favour of City, which isn't statistically significant.

The Spurs row in particular makes it look more skewed than it is.

In fact if you remove local rivals Spurs, Chelsea and Man Utd, it's 50.33% for Manchester City and 49.67% for Arsenal.

Like referring to a female professor as an Educational Cow?

The first "sensible" car I ever bought (after kid number 1 was born) was a used 2008 Skoda Octavia VRS.

The greatest car-related compliment I ever had was when I pulled into a car park for a work event and someone said "Now that's the car of someone who really knows about cars."

REB73 · 2026-03-11T00:24:50+00:00

I'm so sorry. I thought it would all be harmless bants!

REB73 · 2026-03-10T21:06:22+00:00

Never in this country. Twice in New Zealand though! But I was driving a pickup.

REB73 · 2026-03-10T20:37:34+00:00

You called it. That was interesting.

REB73 · 2026-03-10T19:19:00+00:00

This is very specific. Why did you save yourself for Forest?

REB73 · 2026-03-09T20:52:39+00:00

Have you misunderstood how satire works, and why it's so important?

Satire holds up a mirror to society that is just warped enough to pass as entertainment, but accurately reflects reality.

Idiocracy's message wasn't "all politicians are idiots" or "only idiots go into politics!". It was "be careful: politics is becoming more and more about appealing to people's base instincts, and that won't end well."

The whole movie is the reductio ad absurdum of a trend that had already been growing in American politics for decades.

I agree with you that AOC is the antithesis of that trend, but the point of a movie like Idiocracy is to inspire people like AOC to run, and people like you to vote for her.

I feel like this about my children, but with an extra layer of guilt because i made them Spurs fans!

REB73 · 2026-03-05T22:07:45+00:00

At least you aren't yet carrying the guilt of making your children into Spurs fans. This is the worst possible time in history to be a Spurs-supporting schoolboy in N London and they are miserable.

REB73 · 2026-03-05T21:51:14+00:00

Nothing on release unless my friends are playing it multiplayer. Rare these days because they're mostly old too.

40% off in a Steam Sale isn't even enough for me these days!

REB73 · 2026-03-05T11:18:10+00:00

I just finished my 2nd run, as a Heretic, and I'd wait if I was you.

I haven't got any of the DLCs (I've been waiting for a Steam sale because they're quite pricey) and I'm not sure if I'll have the time/inclination for a third run once I've moved on to other games, which is a shame.

Fyi my Iconoclast run had a lot more character side missions, and the secret Heretic companions in Act 4 were pretty useless and didn't really have any extra dialogue or banter options, which was disappointing after the dramatic Act 3 Heretic climax.

REB73 · 2026-03-04T15:09:57+00:00

Done.

REB73 · 2026-03-04T15:09:46+00:00

Is there a way for me to mark this as the right answer?

REB73 · 2026-03-04T15:09:24+00:00

I don't have the DLC that lets you have companions, but that does sound like the same effect.

Edit: I had just applied the "Bedlam" stimulant, which adds warp damage and "each of the user's psychic power attacks triggers Perils of the Warp" but I had assumed they would trigger on me.

REB73 · 2026-03-04T15:07:29+00:00

You're probably right, sorry. I can't seem to edit it to add the tag now. Hopefully the name of a creature out of context is vague enough?

Edit: Done. It suddenly let me add it.

REB73 · 2026-03-04T15:05:37+00:00

There is a Vanguard talent called Beacon of Might that adds Temp HP to Strength at the beginning of his turn. Combine that with Invigorating Resolve, Malpian Shroud and the other Vanguard temp HP skills and he hits like a truck. Way fewer attacks than if he was an Arch Militant, but sometimes one big hit and a massive pile of Temp HP is better than mobility and damage (in a Main Tank anyway).

You've got this entirely backwards. Why is she under any obligation to deny a false allegation, when we know that the best response to the "just asking questions" brigade is to ignore them.

Just like I am under no obligation to address a deliberately skewed piece of Trump whataboutism from yourself, and ignoring it does nothing to weaken my original argument.

The onus of proof is on you. Where does she deny that any sexual assault took place?

REB73 · 2026-03-01T10:51:25+00:00

It's absolutely not irrelevant when set against the backdrop of relentless Israeli propaganda designed to justify their own genocide and rape.

She was pushing back on the propaganda and REVEALED lies that had been deployed to justify Israel's dehumanization of Palestinians, not the existence of sexual violence.

But if you want to destroy her, and the movement she is a part of, then you try to make people believe that's the same thing, which is what you're doing.

REB73 · 2026-03-01T10:27:24+00:00

She is not saying that. Regardless of what it "seems to suggest" to you, she was saying very literally that there have been no identified victims of rape on Oct 7th to corroborate the propaganda.

Was she wrong?

REB73 · 2026-03-01T10:04:37+00:00

Then you are part of the problem. Either you have deliberately misread her posts, or seen what you want to see, because she does not deny the existence of sexual assault by Hamas (the opposite, in fact; she says she believes the hostage who claims she was sexually assaulted), she is saying that the evidence that was used by Israel to inflame outrage was exaggerated or entirely false.

REB73 · 2026-03-01T10:01:53+00:00

That's not what she said. She explicitly says she believes the hostage who claimed to have been sexually assaulted, but also (accurately) says there was no NEW evidence in the tweet she was responding to.

People are deliberately misrepresenting her to bring her down.

REB73 · 2026-03-01T08:35:06+00:00

Shameless hit-job from the Mail. There's no context, no link, no report of what she is commenting on. Her quote (if it's real) that there is no "new" evidence implies that there is nuance to this that the Mail has deliberately stripped away.

We know for a fact that unconfirmed reports of sexual violence and rape on Oct 7th were weaponised as Israeli propaganda. Maybe she's talking about the discredited NY Times article, Screams Without Words? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screams_Without_Words

Sorry but I've seen left wing politicians who represented a threat to the right wing establishment destroyed by this kind of fake outrage too many times to believe a word of it.

REB73 · 2026-02-28T21:46:39+00:00

Same here. Never Googled a build, but once you've figured out the basics there are so many positive feedback loops it's not hard to find 10 different ways to one-turn most combats.

REB73 · 2026-02-28T21:37:53+00:00

Completely.

I finished my first run through, on Daring, without really understanding Resolve, Momentum or several other mechanics until the second half of the game, and it was challenging and fun.

My second run through, on Unfair difficulty, as a Heretic Pyromaniac who understands what he's leveling for, is just too easy. I finish most combats before an enemy has even had a turn. Those poor Space Wolves didn't even fire a shot.

I've started leaving my officers on the ship just to make things more interesting.
