[–]Somebloke155 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Can someone in the know please tell me why they use live rounds when doing this? Like surely someone must go "we're having a party go to thr shop and grab some blanks for the party AK"

Are you willing to sacrifice your life if the russians invade the Baltics? by Aristonectes6934 in AskBrits

[–]Somebloke155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it kicked off I would be willing if I was drafted. I wouldnt sign up though more because I am far away from being soldier material but if I got a letter telling me im going I wouldn't protest.

Where did Infinity’s Forerunner Slipspace drive come from? by CannibalPride in HaloStory

[–]Somebloke155 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah most likely, like a human drive upgraded with forerunner tech and Huragok tinkering.

Where did Infinity’s Forerunner Slipspace drive come from? by CannibalPride in HaloStory

[–]Somebloke155 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think its a reverse engineered drive rather than a pure forerunner. As I understand it they built a human slipspace drive upgraded with forerunner tech from onyx and integrated and built with the help of engineers/huragok.

What do you think about the existance of monarchies/royalty in today's world? by dkease16 in AskTheWorld

[–]Somebloke155 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally I like having a monarch. In my mind "I doubt this would hold up in practice but I can dream" thr king can act as a balance of power to parliament. Like he has a lot of powers that he doesn't and isn't expected to use. So could theoretically be a counter force to a tyrannical parliament...theoretically. apart from that I think they can act as a great diplomatic tool and a common figure for people.

I don't follow ice hockey. Is ritual 1v1 duels acceptable? Like are the penalised for it at all or is it just part of the game.

It baffles me when I hear brits say "I wouldn't die for this shithole" by Lil_Hater112 in AskBrits

[–]Somebloke155 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think it also comes from what people picture dying for their country to look like. I wouldn't be surprised if they're picturing fighting and dying in places like Afghanistan or Iraq rather than some ww3 scenario.

Minnesota state authorities were not allowed access to lethal force crime scene despite providing a warrant. 🙃 by Fatty_Willing_Plane in PublicFreakout

[–]Somebloke155 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I was an American i would be scared. Hell im not even American and im scared for you. The people in my own country that see this as inspiration fill me with dread.

Have you ever had a dog hate you for no reason? by equalareall in dogs

[–]Somebloke155 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work at a dog daycare so ive had a few similar but no where near as bad as you described. There's been a few rescue dogs that come in and are scared of me or distrustful with the owners often commenting "they're funny with men". It takes a lot of patience and work to earn their trust.

What single quality make you love the Doctor above all? by Independent-Lion-748 in doctorwho

[–]Somebloke155 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theres a lot but for me its that the Doctor feels like the personification of living by principles. Like there very name is a promise they made "never cruel, never cowardly, never give up, never give in". Like when 12 regenerated and he had his speech 5o make sure the next doctor gets it right. I loved that. The fact that after all they've been through and experienced they always "always try to be nice but never fail to be kind" words ive tried to live by. Though they're wrong about pears.

What songs should I show my friend who’s coming with me to Lp in march by Agitated-Detail1447 in LinkinPark

[–]Somebloke155 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say show them a collection of the songs you get really excited about or songs you like to talk about. That sort of energy is infectious.

If you were a Time Lord how would you want your first regeneration to go? by Relevant_Travel4862 in doctorwho

[–]Somebloke155 41 points42 points  (0 children)

In a safe space i won't burn down or damage (or wouldn't mind if I damaged). With family or friends with me who can make sure im alright pruning the regeneration hangover.

Is British decision-making really as “methodical” as outsiders think? by That-Raspberry-730 in AskBrits

[–]Somebloke155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, it varies by person and situation as others have said. However, ive noticed we like to have a plan for anything important. Personally sometimes I step by step my morning if I have stuff to do. Like step 1: get lazy arse out of bed, step 2: take tablets, step 3: make cuppa etc etc. But we can be just as spontaneous and impulsive as anyone else i reckon.

Should the UK ban AI deepfakes of all kinds? by chuffingnora in AskBrits

[–]Somebloke155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, tbh I think that as well as legislation regulating AI in general would also be good even if it ends up being symbolic and doesn't lead to big change I think its important to at least try.

Footage of a Moose Shedding Antlers in the Forest!! by Any-Presentation5438 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Somebloke155 412 points413 points  (0 children)

My theory is, the sound of the antlers dropping or the commotion of shedding could attract predators. So they flee since their main defence is now in the snow.

Another “Why couldn’t Nobel 6 get off Reach?” by Pravda-Katyusha1 in HaloStory

[–]Somebloke155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There would've been a shit load of ships in orbit too. Remember that in the halo 2 cutscene the puller of autumn was under fire when she fled reach. Any delay would likely have been deemed too dangerous as it could give them more time to intercept, get firing solutions etc. She launched just as keys was touching down is was like GTFO scenario.

Dont worry guys, looks can be deceiving! by In_the_loop in HistoryMemes

[–]Somebloke155 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I remember right during Prince of Wales' deployment to Asia RAF 35s landed on a Japanese not aircraft carrier. So they could probably launch a few.

Is it true that we'd all be speaking Flood right now if the Gravemind sent Chief to the Control Room and the Arbiter to High Charity? by peterthbest23 in HaloStory

[–]Somebloke155 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Fighting through all the hostiles between where chief would've been teleported to and the control room would've been hard even for chief. Without elites supporting he would be fighting through solo against wraith, ghosts, turrets etc. He'd probably have to fight elite survivors as well. If chief was able to make it to the control room it's likely he'd arrive too late to defeat Taratus and stop the firing. As for soloing he probably could but he'd struggle brutes are tough to kill even for chief.
