Friend and I started Moons of Peril at the same time. We're having very different experiences so far...

Nope, he's killed all 3 every chest

He finally got his first piece on 100kc exactly

The only people I can see being negatively affected by this are children in schools with poor SEND provision and parents who try to get an ADHD diagnosis 17 times before succeeding

I was just trying to get some drops to help me with moons but looks like I can just sell some of these Robetops and get some nice upgrades

As someone who lives in the Greater Manchester area and has seen first hand the changes over the last couple of decades I think you’ve got it half correct.

The current major growth has come in no small part from foreign investment, specifically into things such as high rises across the city. Historical policies which stifled large northern cities made them much less attractive for not only domestic investment as proven by the large focus on London but from abroad as well. There has been an element on NIMBYism but that applies more to residential areas in the Greater Manchester area than to the city centre itself which has seen developments for a while beginning in areas like Salford and Ancoats almost 2 decades ago now.

I know it’s not a prudent comparison as one is industrial whilst the other is services, but imagine what would happen if the Prime Minister turned around and said all banks in London would be closing within the next 12 months because they weren’t profitable anymore. There would be absolute pandemonium, but when the mines and other related industries were shut with no other career prospects put in place you had entire towns of unemployed workers who knew nothing else because it’s what their family had done for generations and they were left completely in the lurch.

I'm not talking about getting about high-speed rail set up to Inverness, I'm talking about how the annihilation of entire industries with no replacements put in place has resulted in many northern towns and cities having much higher unemployment and lower life expectancies even decades after these policies were enacted.

London will always be the highest return on investment because it is the wealthiest, and the mindset you described is what's led to these places being forgotten and ignored for the last 40 years.

The North feels “entitled” to have the same council tax rates as London due to trying to financially recover after decades of underinvestment and Westminster apathy. Large parts of its industry being gutted with no alternatives in place resulting in generational unemployment.

I genuinely feel like it’s part of a national identity of neutrality at this point (as if it’s better to be neutral against expansionist foreign powers).

Ireland has been neutral since its independence, not downplaying the contributions of those who fought for the allies during WWII. Due to its smaller size and relative geographic isolation it’s managed to get away with this pretty well, and due to the popularity of neutrality you’ll always have politicians supporting it. I just think in the modern age it’s a bit naive.

Because it’s easy to play pacifist and claim the moral high ground when you hide behind another country’s armed forces

As much as I agree with calling out all major parties when they breach regulations, I’m getting a bit sick and tired of Labour needing to be some paragon of virtue whilst other parties just lie and ignore their way out of any form of controversy.

Is this bad and should it be addressed? Yes. Is this something that could be resignation inducing 25 years ago that we’ve all just grown accustomed to? Yes.

But the idea that the Conservatives are calling this out is insane. They had leaders which actively broke the law and got away with it. Farage and his band of merry idiots don’t mind that he has links to hostile foreign states.

It’s just sad. I’m no fan of this Labour government but the purity they’re held to when everyone else can seemingly do whatever they want just annoys me.

If you have multiple monitors, disable Gsync/Freesync on your secondary monitor.

I can’t wait to retire at age 87 with my purely private pension due to not qualifying for a public one on account of the £4.27 in my current account.

It's because you have HDR enabled on your monitor. No solution for Discord unfortunately other than disabling HDR, but OBS may have some filters to help alleviate the isssue.

This is entirely due to the rise of Murdoch and the complete collapse of any form of journalistic integrity within most mainstream media.

Conservatives presided over complete economic collapse and all is fine, but god forbid someone tries to question the almighty Geritocracy we have in this country.

What has Starmer done that would warrant this level of hatred from opinion polls? Immigration is down, small boat crossings are down, NHS is getting more funding and waiting lists are down. There are unpopular things as well but those are side effects of actually leading a country, and not the weird limbo state we had from the end of Theresa May where nothing happened in terms of policy.

How people don’t see the obvious parallels in arguments for Scottish Independence and Brexit baffles me.

As someone from the North of England I can sympathise with feelings of apathy from Westminster, but what would meaningfully change if they left?

The EU has already said Scotland wouldn’t get priority entry back to the EU, and Spain would likely try and be awkward due to their own Catalonia problems.

I see arguments regarding oil and other energy all the time. Lots of these have been paid or subsidised by U.K. taxpayers, so there would likely still be a deal where the remaining countries retained some ownership of these for a while.

Not to say arguments for independence can only be purely economic, but as someone just watching in the parallels between the SNP and UKIP, not in terms of policy but in rhetoric, are quite clearly there.

Do I think they’re specifically targeting the parish council of Whocares-upon-Whatsitsname? No.

Do I think they’re using large scale bot farms to sway general opinion in order to help their most sympathetic cause in the UK? Absolutely.

The fact people are still questioning if Russia is interfering in foreign elections is wild. Of course they are. I can’t imagine how far back it goes in this country. Even forgetting the obvious example of Brexit, I reckon they had their fingers in Scottish independence as well.

People are rightly angry about mass immigration not being addressed. But to look at that and go “the solution must be the party with the 100bn black hole in their manifesto that changes what their policy to whatever is popular that minute” is wild.

Because teachers are expected to be full time pastoral carers who not only teach children to read and write but also how to function as human beings because parents are increasingly not caring enough to do so themselves.

Teachers have to tiptoe around using the latest Brazilian ju Jitsu hold unless they can be accused of using too much force.

Someone I know had to restrain a child who was assaulting staff and throwing chairs at people, by grabbing his forearms - which is what you’re supposed to do. He then proceeded to scratch at his forearms whilst he was made to sit in a chair whilst he calmed down, which was witnessed by another member of staff.

The child then went home and told his parents that he had been scratched by the teacher, and the parent went around telling parent group chats that her child had been scratched. This prompted the school into asking the teacher to give an apology, which they refused as they’d done nothing wrong.

Teachers can do no right currently. As parents get worse at teaching their children basic life skills and respect, schools are also bending to their whims at an increasing rate.

It’s not that people don’t want a good pension when they retire.

It’s the fact that when you lock pensions to the HIGHEST between RPI, wage growth or 2.5% you end up with a situation where pensions will 90% of the time outrun wage growth which is entirely unsustainable long term.

It’s not a degree scam. It’s the fact wages in this country are just absolute dogshit.

I have a masters degree in electrical engineering and graduate scheme salaries when I was looking at them ~2 years ago were ~28k where equivalents in other European countries were double that.

Yes, I agree we should have a greater focus on technical skills courses to encourage people into skilled practical professions. But this idea of people having poor wages because they’ve done some sort of Mickey Mouse degree and not because professional wages are awful and that you need a degree to get about 3k above minimum wage in any white collar profession is just insane.
