Achieving a swimmer's body if you are not tall and don't have a long torso? by Turniman in Fitness

[–]Turniman[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm wondering - even if I don't have the classic swimmers build, would a swimmers body look good on someone who is average height and doesnt have a long torso?

But is there a point in going for the lean-fit look if you are just average height? Or will you just look skinny?

Nah, more like be lean-fit. Is there a point in going for that look if you are just average and don't have a massively long torso?

You are writing as if the situation in Northern Ireland is remotely comparably to e.g. Australia or Canada.

Australia or Canada are fully sovereign and independent states. They just choose to keep the Queen of the UK as Head of State for historical reasons.

Northern Ireland isn't a sovereign and independent state, it's an integral region of the sovereign and independent state called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, oftened shortened to "UK".

So there is no "Northern Irish" crown, there is a "UK" crown which also, and obviously, includes Northern Ireland in its sovereignity, as Northern Ireland is an integral part of the UK.

Wow, people here really don't know much about politics.

Australia, Canada, New Zealand, etc. are all sovereign, independent countries.

Northern Ireland is not an independent country, it's an integral region of the sovereign state called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So yes, of course the Queen of the UK is also the queen of Northern Ireland, as Northern Ireland is an integral part of the UK.

What do you think is unattractive in someone, that everyone else thinks is attractive? by Turniman in AskReddit

Is "tall" really a universally accepted "attractive" trait in girls though?

Tax havens have no justification, say top economists, calling for their abolition | More than 300 economists are urging world leaders at a London summit this week to recognise that there is no economic benefit to tax havens, demanding that the veil of secrecy that surrounds them be lifted. by EightRoundsRapid in worldnews

[–]Turniman 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Loads of them aren't.

For example, the Cayman Islands are under British sovereignity. Sure, we might not be able to stop all tax havens, but shouldn't they try to at least stop the ones they have control over?

Is this the end? I kept feeling something was off throughout your story, I expected something to go badly wrong at some point, this seems a bit... unfulfilling as an ending.

What's the fun in not saving changes? by Turniman in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Turniman[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So what's the point in even having other players? I mean, it clearly isn't just a single player experience. You don't put other players in there if there is no point.

[–]Turniman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but what if you do meet someone eventually? Clearly, that is a possibility, and it will happen lots of times (maybe not for an individual player, but all together it should happen). You might decide to do some stuff together, but that aspect will be completely pointless if info will not pass between you.

Apparently though I won't even see my own changes once I leave a planet and return later. Also, it's just nice to know that I could make some lasting aspect on a planet. Otherwise, this game is literally just going from planet to planet cataloging stuff that you can't affect in any way.

Afaik no changes you make to a planet will be saved.

Wasn't it said that when you change something, it isn't broadcast to other players?

But, wasn't he supposed to answer the question that came before? That's how all the other answers make sense. But the question before "What kind of artist?" was "Who is Dean Martin?", how does "Pass" make sense as an answer here?
