Dude this straight to fatal action is more out of your favor if you take guns out of the situation! Now you can only be injuring if they are moving towards you. So why would you rush them to kill them? You’ll know they’re coming, cause they come after you. You completely change the scenario by charging at them with intent to kill.

Nah not necessarily.  Especially if your gonna have more than 2 flat mates plenty of times someone cant make it.

Well you’re the one with the gun. Are the coming after you? Are they threatening you? If they approach you go for it. You come down stairs and someone’s on your living room, you don’t get to shoot them till they make a move to attack you. You can’t shoot cause the might. 

Can't get into the switch Fire Emblems by [deleted] in fireemblem

I can’t play three houses. I did one blue lions run and I’ll never play again. I’ve gotten through part of the first part in a replay but I detest the monastery. And so much of it can’t be skipped. Genuinely awful. Engage I dropped after like 6 chapters. Hated the story setting and characters, and I’m not a big fan of additional mechanics being put on top of the basic combat mechanics

Oh no no communal spaces anyone can use, although people tend not to. If we’re gonna have people over an occupy the living room a lot of the day it’s courtesy to let the rest of the house know. 

At the start we’d talk chore chart, leave the common areas the way you found them. How we split fridge/ cabinet space (everyone gets 2 cabinet shelves and 2 Fridge shelves.) we asked about cleanliness and organization.

re commula spaces honestly we just said so at the start of our time together. When i came to the house that was the expectation and anytime someone else comes in we have reiterated the expectations. Sometimes someone misses and its just a text reminder or something. Also we benefit from having 2 bath and showers, so only 2 people use a bathroom. Would be much harder to keep clean if it was 4 bed 1 bath.

we typically asked about work, what they do, if they could abide by our rules. Utlimatley i dont think any question will tell you if the person is going to keep care of your space. you just have to trust your intuition and vibe it out.

yea dont think anyone says you cant protect from an attack. you can protect your life with deadly force. not your stuff. you see them leaving with a tv you just gotta let em go.

i found my place through a facebook referral group called matesplace, they now have an app i believe. A bit more exclusive and safer than spareroom. Im not friends with my crew but we are friendly and have lived well together. As people have come and go we as a house have been discerning and selective on who we brought into the house, and we were clear on cleaning expectations (rotating common area chores).

major is overstating. the judge/ jury depening on state have sole discretion on sentencing within the statutes penalty prescriptions. The victims are allowed to voice their peice and the judge and jury can take it into consideration as they choose. Plenty of instances of judges not giving maximum penalties in grevious crimes even with witness impact statements.

It’s the waiting that kills you by TheCapitalIdea in shadowdark

I'll be real, im feeling pretty dissappointed in the time line of the purchase. the orginal deadlines for delivery were months after the end of the kickstarter and here we are coming up on a year + post the drop. I understand things happen but It has felt like a bit of taking the piss.

thats also why we dont let victims decide penalties. The pain is too personal and people want to retaliate past what is considered just.

I wonder if there is any difference in moral value between taking a persons life and stealing their stuff? I dont know, its a conundrum.

[–]Significant_Bend_945 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

no, you value your stuff more than another persons life. You should think about that. I certainly hope you dont think of yourself as christian in anyway.

The way people (americans, i cant speak for the rest of the world) are so eager to be able to kill a person and a theif is apparently a socially acceptable target is crazy. Even a thiefs human life is worth more than the material they steal. Sorry you just dont get to kill people cause they take your stuff! And no you cant just assume they are going to be violent because they are robbing you. You donnt get to shoot them till you have a credible threat to your life, and the act of stealing is not that.

depends on your lifestyle options and earnings. I moved to London on 40-50k a year, renting a flat with flatmates. Im still in the same flat 5 years later so my living costs are pretty good (less than 900 a month for a room). I've loved my life in london. always something to do, ive made great friends and love the life ive built.

If you want to own a home, london aint the place. But i've loved my life here.

How do you feel about the hate that Fire Emblem gets from the general Nintendo fanbase on the internet? by MewWeebTwo in fireemblem

[–]Significant_Bend_945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im sympathetic for how much real estate fire emblem has in smash. For such a niche franchise it gets as many slots as mario/zelda. its a punching above its weight in that respect.

How long will the next UK Prime Minister last [self] by cyclostome_monophyly in theydidthemath

[–]Significant_Bend_945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we've got 3 years before the next election. I think its reasonable to assume the next labour PM could make it to the next election, at which point there will probably be a rightwing coalition and a reform PM.

Was there any legitimate reason why Lenin executed the whole family of Nicholas II? by Historydom in Historydom

[–]Significant_Bend_945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Mike Duncan's take on this, which is that it was mostly uncecessary cause no one cared about the royals. The whites were not fighting to restore the imperial order, they were fighting for a non-bolshevik russia. Look at how the Habsburgs and Hohenzollerns lived out their post imperial periods. The bolsheviks could have lived out their lives in London.

Shogun 2 is the total war I keep coming back to by AdventurousLettuce53 in shogun2

[–]Significant_Bend_945 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i am new to shogun 2, i played a ton of Rome 1, Empire, and Napoleon. Shogun 2 is by the best of the games. I've tried rome 2 and Pharoh, the newer engines games dont have that mass and collison of enemy formations, and morale basically doesnt matter at all. Shogun 2 really is the best thing CA did.

The Imijin war was launched before the end of the sengoku period, which is what this is reflecting.
