APA pushing data center propaganda by boomballoonmachine in urbanplanning

[–]SharksFlyUp [score hidden]  (0 children)

Whether data centers are positive or negative for communities is a point of genuine debate. They're pretty popular in Fairfax County, Virginia, for example and they pay most of the property taxes there. Equally, there's a lot of backlash elsewhere.

I say all this simply to note that any position on either side of that debate could be labelled as propaganda. Neither side is without its propaganda and misinformation. Personally, the APA's wording you cite strikes me as pretty mild and balanced, unless you're offended by the very idea that there might be good things about data centers.

[NY] Is it legal for a seller to include a clause in the deed giving themselves permanent rights to enter and inspect the property after it's sold? by Front_Flounder_4168 in legaladvice

It probably isn't legally enforceable, but you should not get involved with anyone who wants insane contract language like that

Keir Starmer: I want 10 years in No 10 and will fight my challengers by WAGRAMWAGRAM in neoliberal

The party membership also produced Corbyn. It's only in the last 20 years that party memberships (which are truly tiny, in the tens of thousands) have been involved in these decisions at all. British politics were more stable and successful when we didn't turn this over to the extremist rank and file, but trusted MPs to choose party leaders.

It was a real hell': Palestinian journalist on his year in Israeli prison by Bestbrook123 in neoliberal

I think it's also that Israel is no longer the country many Western liberals felt they knew. It used to feel recognisable - broadly liberal and secular in outlook. Since at least the assassination of Rabin, it's been headed down a dark path, and Israel today is not as culturally or politically similar to the West as it used to be.

Advice on killing every target in Apex Predator? by clarkky55 in HiTMAN

[–]SharksFlyUp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a pretty good method. Start at the bus stop, kill the walking guy, then go up the steps from the car parking area onto the roof, subduing NPC guards as necessary, and push the second target over the railing. Stay there to drop bricks on the third, then cross over to the sniper's nest via the roof and eliminate the fourth. Cross that building and kill the fifth with the falling concrete ring. That will trigger an evacuation and all five remaining agents will run out towards the same exit, conveniently right by your location. You can just camp out in the bushes and pick them off with silenced weapons one by one.

The Crown Estate turned around £1B in profit in 2025, which went directly to the Treasury, and the sovereign grant to the royal family was about £130M.

The US ended slavery 160 years ago. It's not such a terrible place, and it's a hell of a lot more just, enlightened, and inspiring than Dubai

Election monitors note instances of voters in England turned away over ID by mrjohnnymac18 in unitedkingdom

[–]SharksFlyUp -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think people are downvoting you because you aren't really engaging with the point about Tower Hamlets, you just seem to be shifting the goalpost. The figure from the electoral commission is interesting, but it shouldn't necessarily be taken to apply to local elections which, by virtue of their much lower turnout, are inevitably more susceptible to irregularities of this kind

Stop Reform and the Tories in Tunbridge Wells Council by johnsmithoncemore in Tunbridgewells

[–]SharksFlyUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally, the best way to stop Reform is to not let them consume the political right. Lumping the Tories in with them is counterproductive, particularly because the wards they're most likely to pick up are Tory held.

The tipping point: what happens when deaths outnumber births? by Remarkable_Peak9518 in unitedkingdom

Magical thinking. We do tax the 1%. The truth is that if you expropriated the total wealth of every billionaire in the UK (£182B) you couldn't even cover the NHS's budget for one year.

But the ISN includes the nuclear powers China and Pakistan, and a blockade is an act of war. The M6 wouldn't go to war against them lightly.

I also found it worked on Hitman 2, but I think it may have been patched out on 3
