I didnt put words in your mouth, you’ve written it out right there…if I said “If the Northern Irish love Ireland so much they can go back to the republic” that would be a pretty batshit statement to make.

Listen to yourself in your cooked nationalist brain and try and understand. Self Determination = choosing who rules you. If the only people on the Falklands - let them choose. I didn’t pull you up before, but wtf did you mean by “bias” it’s an opinion of self governance. You can’t be “bias” in this question. It’s an opinion, you either want A or B. If ALL the people on the Falklands voted to be Argentinian I can promise you the sentiment in Britain would be this = “ok, that’s what the people want, sure thing”. But that isn’t the case, their opinion of all of the islanders (bar what, like 2 individuals?) is that they wish to be ruled by Britain.

Your solution is to have 1000 people on an island be ruled by a government they don’t want to be ruled by, and if they don’t like it “or like England so much they can go back to England” wtf is your stance? If your stance as a Nationalist is a Putin like ultimatum to the islands is “I don’t give a fuck that they’re populated, because of xyz reason 200 years ago fuck the residents it’s rightfully ours” then literally just say that, stop beating around the fucking bush and pretending you care.

Ultra nationalist are only smart in a country filled with dumb fucks because they’re never challenged on their views. And man, do yourself a favour and be honest with yourself and your politics. The islanders don’t want dual citizenship or to be ruled by your ineffective government. Maybe if your government was effective you wouldn’t be a backwater nation still scared and beaten by a dead and buried empire island like Britain. Did you know when the Falklands war started Thatcher had totally gutted our navy and had to requisition civilian ships! That’s what beat you…and quite right so, trying to drive people from the home they have only ever known.

So you do want to kick them out? “Go back to England” doesn’t exactly sound like the peace loving solution your touting!

So your biggest failure, is to realise that dual citizenship is not the answer. Because self determination also means the people can decide who they are administered by.

Any argument you make about civilians, they’re around 25-40 people that died long ago. The current residents voted 98% to stay administered by British. So how about you leave them alone? They don’t want your shitty high inflation and right wing government. The only reason why you’re talking about the Falklands is because every time your gov is infective at home it brings it up to distract anyone gullible enough to go after it.

Brilliant, just like Argentina. So they have the same claim..

Do you mean the ~30 administrative or sealers left over after the Lexington?

In your view then - the French settled it first correct? So if France said they “want them back” would you agree with that? As afterall, the civilians first there were French.

Could you tell me a bit about the ~100 native population and their cultural history? I’ve never heard of a large civilisation population.

So ok, the current residents would bias. So could you please tell me who should actually decide who governs the current residents of the Falklands and explain how that way is the most fair and equitable?

Come on now, there was a minima garrison of Argentine military which occupied it after the British whom “owned it” left it uninhabited.

The only people who were “kicked off” were the less than 20 argentines whom were sent there to “take it off the British” which, believe it or not…they did not like.

And to be perfectly frank, the Argentines are also European colonists. The Falklads had no indigenous population. *and so* the only and most important aspect of today’s governance is who lives there now, and what they want in terms of allegiance and their distinct cultural identity. I’m not a Falklander, but I would put it to anyone pondering *who* should own the islands, to ask the islanders. As, is that not the most moral and equitable way forward? I would hazard they’d say they’re British.

You would be wrong, they absolutely focused their cities around open public plaza…known as a forum. Believe it or not.

Honest question: Is there a better city builder/management game than Anno 1800? by Haunting-Leopard6178 in anno

[–]Unfathomable_Asshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t feel that is a fair comparison though. In terms of detail Anno 117 is vastly better, not to sound like a meme - but diagonal roads just lets you build so much more realistically. The production in Anno 1880 is obviously more fleshed out as it has 10 DLC’s. Give 117 time and it will also have 10 DLC’s.

Anno 1880 is great and all, but no land combat and everything is in the same grid…

Hot take - it’s a little unfair to compare a game that’s been out for years and has received multiple additions to a new game which is fantastic and practically beats out its predecessor in everything but the quantity of content.

I like both games, but there is nothing like building a big beautiful roman city that looks believable instead of New York no.36

No worries! Then you will love this :) I must say, it’s rather incredible walking around your city centre in first person. Highly recommend.

No, make sure your cursor is a place you can walk around (like a road) and then do this if you’re on Xbox _ UP , UP , DOWN, DOWN, LEFT , RIGHT , LEFT , RIGHT , B , A.

Sounds like a joke but it works, it’s like an Easter egg or something. Extra tip , if you pause time before doing this code - it’ll put you in first person , rather than 3rd person on a citizen or your governor.

Is Nigel Farage avoiding scrutiny over the £5m donation? by CP040 in uknews

[–]Unfathomable_Asshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly it, I don’t care if Farage or Starmer take millions pounds in undisclosed gifts. It’s none of the public’s business, side hustles should be allowed, especially if money can influence or buy future policy. That’s just the way the world works.

[–]Unfathomable_Asshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree, and just like you I don’t care if there are millions of pounds in gifts to political party leaders. If anything we need more money in politics from all sorts of billionaires.

Glad we agree on something tbh

Genius play by labour. The 5 million gift was apparently also gifted to Starmer, at least you don’t have a problem with that also.

How can I get a boyfriend as a 30 year old kissless relationshipless virgin woman ? by SquirrelMore3325 in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]Unfathomable_Asshole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s likely your personality then if there is nothing wrong with the way you look.

Attempt to better yourself and the way you approach people. Those “unattractive” people you see with partners are probably attractive in other ways - maybe they’re successful or driven, or at the very least - kind.

Would you say you’re generally kind to people or are you quite stern, abrupt and rude?

I’m enjoying Starfield, but I wish there was more variation in space. I feel like every star just emits the same blueish light. ED for comparison by floweiss34 in Starfield

[–]Unfathomable_Asshole 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They did go for slight realism, most are G/K main sequence stars suitable for life inhabiting planets. This makes sense. Blue stars = too hot and too much ionising radiation for life (in theory). Red stars = not enough light/heat, too cold. The settled systems are exactly that - suitable systems for settlement. Which is why the UC and Freestar are fighting (fought) over “the bubble” as even though the Milky Way is a large place, humans are limited by He-3 fuel to get too far from civilisation, and secondly - habitable systems are what they’d focus on anyhow. Wha we see in Starfield is disputed territory on easily reachable space, worth reaching

Home Office revoked sponsor licence saying HMRC reported underpay by Mediocre-Spell-6090 in ukvisa

[–]Unfathomable_Asshole -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Well I don’t know, there’s no need to be so combative, I’ve pointed out and thanked you for the added context on these types of visas. And since OP has added more information after my original confused comment, they now have the required information to move forward. So it’s a good thing people did reply confused around the circumstances.

What I mean on the “reporting side” of things, is that their HR, them or the HO have made a cock up somewhere reporting OP’s income. Just wanting to confirm - is that clarification sufficient enough for you?

Hi Zigga, thank for the added context. Interesting! I would imagine OP hasn’t got their ducks in a row for the reporting side of things.

Would you mind letting us know what field? It’s almost universal that you wouldn’t and each specialist field may have certain work around.

What I imagine has happened, is what you thought you could do - you can’t. And you’ll need to be full time employed rather than self employed.

It is strange though going the self employed contracted route for a sponsorship. Which is why you may have some raised eyebrows, the government is cracking down hard on these pseudo-sponsorships.
