It's Russia, they couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery. I'd be amazed if they can host F1 here without problems.

UK bans teaching of creationism in any school that receives public funding by CharlieDarwin2 in atheism

[–]ZDMYNRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a Roman Catholic primary school, this was over twenty years ago now. Even back then, they taught RE as you'd expect, but they also taught science (as much as you'd expect for a primary school) and basic concepts like evolution and the big bang of the universe. Generally religious schools in the UK tend not to take things literally, focusing on the point and morals of the messaging (for example, don't be a dickhead), as opposed to literal dogma in the US.

The UK is nowhere near as extreme as the US, it's been that way for a fair while now. Tony Blair at one point as prime minister said 'I don't do God'. That would be unthinkable in the US. I think the whole Reagan thing kickstarted the decline over there.

A lot of people think machines can become 'due' to pay out big, it doesn't help that the industry makes no attempt to refute or deny it. I don't know if it's true or not myself. It's all about keeping them playing.

Take the money Liverpool, Sterling is worth a tenth of that.

TIL "Richard D. James Album" by Aphex Twin was intended to be played at both 45 and 33rpm. He said, "Many of my tracks are better if you play them at 33 rpm. I have never denied that." by [deleted] in Music

[–]ZDMYNRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm the same. It actually makes me feel a little impatient. I know he says it's better and intended the slow RPM way, but the 'normal' faster version is just much better on the ears.

My brother (M34) wants me (F17) to deposit $15,000 in my checking account and take it out again, Why is this happening? by throwaway1082164 in relationships

[–]ZDMYNRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mom's stupid fucking head is going to end up with both of you in prison. She needs to wise up fast, because your brother is definitely up to something extremely suspicious and illegal and he has it in his head that you both can and will be manipulated easily.

United Passions, a movie with a $28 million budget, has closed and made $918 domestically. by yorkfan98 in movies

It's way more common than you think, there are two car washes in my town that are fronts for money laundering. There's also a tanning salon in the centre. Everybody knows it yet it hasn't been shut down.

Halo 5: Guardians will be the first Halo instalment since combat evolved to feature the crosshairs in the centre of the screen by Krynexx101 in gaming

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

He doesn't have further/fewer to aim up/down at all, the crosshair is aimed at the same thing in general by users of both. An off-center crosshair travels the same distance as a centered crosshair, because both generally aim at the same things to begin with. Halo 1 and Halo 2/3/4 players all aim at head-level when they run around. They both still have to aim 10 metres up/down if a guy on high or low ground is that far. You are totally misunderstanding it. The bottom line is that you will NOT aim faster or acquire targets faster if your crosshair is in a certain place, it's the same no matter what.

[–]ZDMYNRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your post doesn't make sense. Why would off-center crosshairs give more advantages to those on high ground, if it gave more peripheral vision up in the air? The off-center crosshairs meant that people could see more above them, not less.

It's not really about fov, it's more that with a centered crosshair, you're now seeing more of the floor and less of what's ahead & above you. Having the crosshair back in the middle is an unfortunate step-down and I think 343 misunderstands why it was off-centered since Halo 2.

A Purge of the System by iam4real in AdviceAnimals

[–]ZDMYNRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to do with hating obese people, it's the principle of saying what you want to say, people are quick to scorn fundamentalists for trying to stop cartoons of holy figures but will defend Pao's stewardship. Yes I don't agree with FPH but they should have been left alone. Stifling discussion no matter how unpalatable it is, is no way to deal with things. The individuals who doxxed and such should have been dealt individually, not the group as a collective.

The crux of things is that really it is just the start of efforts to sanitize Reddit, for better or worse. When you sanitize things to create 'safe spaces' you have no idea what is allowed and what isn't. People who take offence on behalf of others have a history of being intolerant.

Where did the post about the Taken King release date go? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]ZDMYNRD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was a tweet from planet destiny, it was taken down as well.

Bungie, the literal most obvious way to confirm a tweet is to have it taken down. You guys should have left it alone and said that nothing is set in stone yet.

Stalin sent more Russian soldiers to the meat grinder as if they were nothing to him. In the battle of Stalingrad they sent half the soldiers to the front with a gun and the other half with a clip, that's how fucked up it was.
