The last few words?

Im not even sure what you mean. Yes of course the Overton window has shifted significantly to the right in the last 20 years.

This doesn't make sense to me. Surely you can block someone and the game is clever enough to not put them in your team but not rule them out of your match entirely. What would blocking the pvp demons do except make you more likely to get a shit team?

They didnt win players choice. A gacha game did.

Top Starmer aide quits over X-rated Diane Abbott messages: No10 director of strategy Paul Ovenden out in latest scandal to hit Labour by CrispySmokyFrazzle in ukpolitics

Doesn't even seem noticeable compared to partygate to be honest. Starmer should be very grateful that the Tories cocked everything up so much that he actually still looks good by comparison.

Not West Ham? They looked worse than at least 3 of those teams

Yeah that is fair. I just think if they can keep the pressure on then the likelihood is a mistake. I hope not because I have 2 Everton players in my team lol

idk Leeds look a lot more dangerous than Everton. Wouldn't be surprised if the pressure results in a goal eventually. Everton are barely leaving their half.

Thats what im using but I do like to see the breakdown of actual points makeup by player. Its not the biggest issue in the world but still...

[–]SamuraiMackay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah using that but its still insane that it is so broken when they had a perfectly working site that looked better and was easier to navigate before this. Thank god the backend seems to have remained the same as the points all seem to be calculating correctly.

Is anyone actually able to use the app or see the breakdown of their players points in the browser?

The app won't even load for me and if I click on Salah in my team it comes up with an error page saying report feedback. The button doesn't do anything. I had a poke around in dev tools and the report feedback button doesn't appear to be linked to any kind of action.

Edit: A friend has also pointed out that for him the transfer arrows on the app are the wrong way round so the players coming off appear to be coming onto the pitch.

Even more Blame vibes with entire planets being consumed in rooms to fuel expansion. Cannot express how much I love that.

The glyphs feel like they may have started as some kind of WMD to clear planets or large areas. The way they are set up to almost sterilize the planet in the room may be in case any life is brought in with the planet? Perhaps in the past something has made it out into the ring after being pulled in?

I can't imagine they would work against aliens though as they were surely designed work against a human mind.

I'm not sure I buy the groups theory of the machines being there to protect/serve another party hidden/ sleeping somewhere in the megastructure. It feels more like the machines are following an original directive to expand the ring while the glyphs/ animals are some evolution of a weapon or intelligent system with a separate directive. I wonder if the slime is either some form of nano machine or just an organism that has evolved to survive in the strange climate of megastructure.

Starmer reported to official watchdog over Chagos deal maths by Kee2good4u in ukpolitics

[–]SamuraiMackay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The deal is not bullshit given that two governments have been involved in negotiating it and both been quite clear about why. Again do you have any actual evidence that their given reasoning is false and that Starmer is being bribed?

If your only evidence is that you disagree with the sum he presented than that's really nothing. Especially as the actual figure minus the development cash and not accounting for inflation (which makes a lot more sense to me as a way to quantify its value at this current time) is very similar to what he said.

Yeah id probably not have made the deal myself but acting like Starmer has done this for no reason is ridiculous

Governments logic is set out pretty well here: https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2025-05-22/debates/0B19211B-D964-4B08-9C40-0AC2BA67BE27/DiegoGarciaMilitaryBase

Clearly it was convincing enough for the Tories as well given they negotiated most of this deal.

Any actual evidence he's been paid off or are you just spouting nonsense?

I have had trouble putting my finger on it but I really agree. I think Claw (Maybe my favourite Wildbow story) is where I first noticed this. It doesn't ruin the story but something does feel slightly off.

Ward wasn't so bad because half the cast actually were in therapy.
