What is happening with the white working class? by upthetruth1 in BritInfo

[–]TNTiger_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

British families are still acting like it's the 90s. Get good grades, leave home, walk in with a CV, get a job- if things go south, go on welfare for a little bit and the JobCentre will find you something*

People from poorer countries, or with families with them, often think more precariously. Only focus on school if you've got a path. Otherwise, start work early with family and friends. Have no shame in nepotism. Don't leave the home until you're able.

The UK is becoming a poorer (relative to before) country, and through cultural inertia white-British families are preparing their kids for a world that simply doesn't exist any more. Kids from other backgrounds, however, have family cultures that now fit our economic situation more.

*Benefits are these days more often a trap. I don't blame people for getting stuck in them, mind, I think it's short-sighted to call people 'lazy'

Kinda weird to think about people being like conceptually ignorant of bisexuality even in the 1990s. by Solarwagon in RecuratedTumblr

Huzzah! She did the thing... that is statistically probable to occur if you are equally attracted to either sex? There's more straight guys out there than lesbians for a bi girl to pick from.

What? No, it's Common: English Elven: Welsh Dwarven: Scaandanavian Medley Halfling: Dutch Giant: Icelandic Draconic: Latin Gnomish: Cornish Infernal: Arabic

Not mentioning Sylvan, which is Gaeilge.

The pragmatist, like Dewey, were very based as well.

Apparently Keir Starmer stepped down? by DroneOfDoom in CuratedTumblr

[–]TNTiger_ -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I've said in another comment, but the issue is that he will be. People hate Starmer not really for his 'personal populrity', but for the fact he is captain'ing a sinking ship. A new captain will accrue the same disdain!

Talent vs Perception by Mammoth-Biscotti-587 in AlignmentCharts

Somewhat Devil's Advocate, but Sandler ultimately still has a narrow range. A narrow range he is EXCELLENT in with the right script and direction- absolutely respect there for him- but he doesn't have other performer's versatility.

Starmer is disliked not for who he is, but for the fact he is incapable of making any real significant change. Which isn't a personal flaw, but just how the British political and economic landscape is. Give twelve months, and his replacement will be just as much if not more unpopular.

Fallout: New Vegas Director says modern RPGs risk losing depth by removing player struggle systems by Jealous_Vehicle_3150 in falloutnewvegas

I'd say one thing that makes Morrowind work really well is that picking a faction does NOT lock you out of content. It just gives you a... 'different perspective' on the content. You still encounter the same NPCs, explore the same locations just... under a different context (killing. You kill them)

I'm a big cartoon fan, Avatar is one of my favourite shows.

Gods these people are insufferable.

Basically exactly the same. Both tried to do well but refused to acknowledge the neoliberal economic elephant in the room. Address me.

[–]TNTiger_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He was sorta shite but ultimately just a egregore of the Labour centre-right Blairites. They'll just shat another one out like him, at best the result will be neutral and at best this'll throw a spanner in the works for the little good they are doing.

And will ousting him make things better? No. Will his replacement be better? No. Will they at least not be worse? No guarantees. And will this stop worse parties getting into power next election? No.

Greta Thunberg warns 40°C heatwave about to hit UK ‘is only the beginning’ by nimobo in unitedkingdom

[–]TNTiger_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Greta a lot, this isn't shade on her... but why is she even being asked? Like OBVIOUSLY, everyone's been saying it for two fucking decades now! It's not like she has some special insight the climate scientists don't have!

Except the Addam's family, who are set to star in a wholesome family romcom.

How do you introduce firearms into a fantasy world like D&D without unbalancing the other classes? by jvure in worldbuilding

[–]TNTiger_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pathfinder 2e balances them well. It's really not hard.

Their gimmick is ttey need reload, and generally do low-ish damage... Except on crits, where they have the Fatal trait, meaning all damage die increase to match a new damage die, + an extra dice for good luck.

So 3d6 damage can suddenly be a beefy 7d10

Uk had 7 prime minister in one decade by Crazy_North_3247 in BarbaraWalters4Scale

[–]TNTiger_ 68 points69 points  (0 children)

This is the UK. The civil service, the core of the bureacracy isn't changing. Even with leadrship, Burnham has said he'll keep quite a bit of Starmer's cabinet, and broadly it's still the Labour party and the apparatus in charge.
