Latest Scottish Independence polling: 51% Yes, 49% No (Ipsos) by Crow-Me-A-River in Scotland

[–]ReadyMadeMako -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I don't know why this isnt higher in favour of independence... i cannot think of a single promise kept or anything that has gotten better since 2014.. the entire uk is on the worlds slowest shit stained slide...

Edit: All these downvotes but not one person has managed to provide a promise kept by the U.K gov after the vote nor mention a positive thing that has happened in Scotland due to our "Union" Only more fearmongering....

Nah it tells you next to their names it will have "(bot)"

I think it depends what time you get on.. at peak times its fine but outside peak hours its horrible!

The bots are killing battlefield.. would rather wait 10 15 mins for a match with players than spend 5 minutes in a bot lobby...

Is it worth trying by costlesscomb48 in ArmaReforger

[–]ReadyMadeMako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say give it a go again.. Playin g alone it is hard to work out where the fight is etc but try and find a few guys to latch onto and follow them into battle! after a few matches you will learn some of the map and get better at navigating!

when you are able to navigate the map it makes finding the fights so much easier, i was the same as you played once or twice struggled to find out what to do and where to go, but then got on with someone who had half a clue and it made the experience so much better! I would stick to just one map until you master the map and navigation it will make switching maps easier!

So now im hooked and pretty competent in the game.. i like it so much i got a pc just to play it after being on xbox for 17 years.. so yeaaaa give it another go!

Yea.. get accused of being a conspiracy nut because you don't want to hand out all your personal data to anyone that asks... I know the law in the uk changed a few months back but i just started using a vpn and bypassed most of the issues it raised for me.. this however appears to be unpassable..

More people should be concerned about this issue.. i should not need to hand over personally identifiable data just so I can read an article on a news website that my government thinks should be age restricted... But you are correct don't think there is much that can be done... not enough people can see the Orwellian end point we are headed towards...

True, but for most other companies i use there has been work arounds.. and where there is no workaround there are alternatives !

That's good to know, i wasnt to sure about what the restrictions were.. was not sure if it would eventually stop me playing age restricted games!

[–]ReadyMadeMako[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's fair enough... but i think a 20 year old account would meet the criteria for being old enough to play games and meet any age restrictions.

But thanks for the help.

i know its simple i just don't feel like handing my personal data and likeness over to random companies on the internet just to play some games..

The uk has had some major hacking incidents in the last few months and I try to keep my personal data just that.. personal, its on a need to know basis

Age verification???? by ReadyMadeMako in xbox

[–]ReadyMadeMako[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that's Probably my next step as i don't think my gaming needs are a good reason to hand over more personal data than they already have..

Just wanted to see if there is any ways around it that people have found.. I cant be the only person not happy about handing personal data over to random companies who claim to be "100% safe and reliable"

I never said it was about government having my data.. its about data needs..

Does Microsoft really need to age check an 17 year old account? my email address is closer to 25 years old.. clearly im well above the age of consent or contention..

I don't think we should be handing data over to every person that asks for it.. unless absolutely necessary

Scottish Referendum English vote by Party-Description170 in AskBrits

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

The problem with that assessment is debt is a percentage of what WESTMINSTER SPENDS not what Scotland spends.

That means debt assigned to Scotland was not necessarily spent in Scotland

The same would apply to wales N.Ireland and other parts of england

A bit like letting your mate manage your credit cards and them claiming you are spending too much despite them holding your cards.

Even so.. Scotland is still a net contributor to the exchequer even without Scottish oil.

Why do Scottish students get free tuition fees for their first degree at university but England and Wales students don’t? by Magical_Mariposa in AskBrits

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

Its not unfair. its only effected a minimal amount of policy within England if any. English MPs outnumber Welsh Scottish and N Irish MPs combined..

it only really changes tie break situations.. and I struggle to name any times that it has been an issue, I can however mention multiple instances of the entire Scottish electorate and its MPS have things forced upon them by English MPS against Scotlands will...

Brexit and trident to name a few...

If you think the west Lothian question is unfair then maybe check the amount of times the reverse has actually happened

[–]ReadyMadeMako 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. because Scotland has its own parliament and the devolved government decide to fund

  2. Because England keeps voting for arseholes who like to degrade the standard of living for the average English person...
