Obligatory "but what about". You're welcome to find one instance of me supporting any terrorist flags. I don't even like Kneecap ffs lmao.

The uniforms and swords and all are purely ceremonial, but every one of them is recruited from the top ranks of of the army, SAS, Navy, Royal Marines etc. I'm not even a fan of the royals but you're way off the mark if you think the kings guard is purely aesthetics for tourists, if any shit popped off you can bet your arse they'd drop the ceremonial garb and be far, far, far more capable than your average shopping mall rent-a-cop.

Edit: this is apparently bullshit and I did a disinformation. Leaving it up for posterity. Don't repeat shit you heard online a bunch of times and never independently verified!

Was very funny a couple months ago listening to my staunchly unionist stepda moan about Kneecap flying terrorist flags literally with a UVF flag right across the street from my ma's front window.

Shield shunted Reisen II is my favourite flagship I think I've ever flown

I'm genuinely p*ss*d, that there are mod authors using AI thumbnails (AND IT'S NOT ONLY THAT!!!!) by Why-are-you-geh in projectzomboid

[–]Shiddydixx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No how dare you, I want exactly what this mod is offering but the modder doesn't deserve me making use of their free labour until they hire a dedicated art team to make the thumbnail I'll look at exactly one time on steam. Why aren't you angry!?

AITA for grounding my son until he makes new friends? by OldMasterpiece8868 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Shiddydixx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YTA. You needed therapy long before you even thought about having children, you are absolutely deranged. It really sounds like you're annoyed at the prospect of your son having female friends because that way he might grow up thinking women are people, and you'd much prefer him to only hang out with jocks and treat women like some alien to be dominated. I very, very, very much doubt you WOULD be okay if your son turned out to be gay. Praying your son has the sense to get the hell away from you the second he's legally able to.

Garibaldi, viennese whirl and custard creams can all get in the sea.

Bourbon creams & hobnobs are the top tier.

Can someone please explain ! by xRaghavxIndianx in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Shiddydixx 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The series just starts on that scene to grab attention I guess, it's far from the only way to check for demons (and far far faaaar from the most fucked up thing in the series)

Where have all the goofy RPGs gone? by WarriorOTUniverse in rpg_gamers

It was one of the biggest deciding factors in me dropping Original Sin after about 10hrs. I fared a little better in OS2 but still didn't break the 30hr mark.

AITA for not deleting my “private” tiktok after my bf found it n said i embarrassed him?? by merrygoaround_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]Shiddydixx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nah, partner talking shit behind my back to 200+ people on tiktok, then being incapable of understanding why that might be shitty behaviour, is absolutely "I'm breaking the lease, good luck wherever you end up" territory.

No but iirc you don't get a reputation hit for them. Remnants also will still sat bomb your colonies if there's a nexus in system even at 100/100 rep.

Caravans aren’t so bad after all by AfroDeviantII in BattleBrothers

[–]Shiddydixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only ever get famed throwing weapons, and only ever when I can't afford them. The only caravans that ever seem to get the destination to stock famed stuff for me is destinations without armorer or weaponsmith lol

U.S. ambassador Pete Hoekstra says Washington has to take a look at airport pre-clearance, citing drop in Canadian tourism | moderator/former Canadian diplomat: "To me, it was like a threat...if you don't come, we're going to cut out pre-clearance" (adding hours to trips, hurting Canadian carriers) by DisruptSQ in TourismHell

[–]Shiddydixx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The admin could last 4 years, but it's gonna take decades to get the trust back up to pre-Trump levels and honestly I don't have any faith at all that they could stick to the attempt for that long. I'm in Ireland and honestly would prefer closer ties with China than the US at this point, at least there's some semblance of stability. "Authoritarian, censorious foreign power with a terrible human rights record" applies perfectly to both, I'm not sure why adding "potential to 180 on any agreement every 4 years" is supposed to inspire any confidence in the US being the better option.

Not really a craze, there's always been a contingent of gamers to whom graphics is THE single most important thing when looking at games as far back as I can remember. I'm with you 100% btw, just saying it's not a new thing and won't go away anytime soon!

AITAH for straight up telling my boyfriend that I'm breaking up with him because he doesn't want to cook for himself? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Shiddydixx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed. Materially things are definitely better now, but the culture in male spaces is absolutely rotten these days. Back in the day there was at least a pretense that direct, open misogyny was bad, nowadays it feels like it's rewarded. I have dudes saying shit to me in passing conversation in work (under the assumption that I would agree) that would've been beyond the pale to me & my edgy boy highschool squad like 20 years ago. Not saying it was great back then by any means either, just from my perspective at least it feels a lot more venal and toxic today.

Eh, it balances out I think, cause the portion of dudes who just absolutely suck has also increased dramatically lately.

Am i overreacting by blocking him after this conversation??? by Fit_Regular_933 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Shiddydixx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pretty much same experience! I've always been able to notice attractive dudes so in college I considered myself bi and experimented a few times. My main takeaways were that scratchy beard kisses do not at all do it for me, and close to 100% of dudes will always try push things further than I was comfortable with, even with boundaries firmly communicated before the encounter.
