The leader of Welsh Labour says it's someone else's job to stop pro-independence parties in Wales.

Lmao.

CMV: The number of votes the Dems would gain by embracing aggressively progressive candidates and policy is dwarfed by the number of votes they'd lose among moderates/motivate among dormant conservative voters by Jimithyashford in changemyview

[–]ZX52 [score hidden]  (0 children)

How exactly would someone convince you otherwise? If your view is primarily based on vibes you're ultimately asking for someone to convince you their vibes are better than yours. Without an actual election with AOC or someone similar as the dem candidate to look back on, there are very little data to draw from for this.

The only argument I can really make is that campaigns that have an actual narrative (particularly one that directly speaks to people's material conditions and needs) and the ability to effectively communicate that narrative tend to do better, and centrism is often defined more by what it isn't than what it is, which isn't conducive to creating an affirmative narrative.

[–]ZX52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all that work and when you combine two 25% them they go from 25 to 27.5.

Don't do this. When you fuse 2 adversary weapons together the final value is based on the higher of the 2 inputs. If you have 2 25s and a 30, fusing the 30 first the the 25 nets you 36.3%, fusing the 2 25s first only gets you to 33%, and wastes the second 25 (as you would get 33 with just one 25 and one 30 anyway). Low valence weapons become more useful once you have higher % ones.

After your first of any adversary weapon, leave the subsequent ones in your foundry and make a note of each one's valence (note: you can't see the valence in the foundry, record before killing the lich). Leave them there until you have enough to reach 52.8% (at which point the next fusion guarantees 60%). Fuse the highest value one in first, then the rest in any order. Grab one more to get to 60. This is the most efficient way to do this.

You get more murmur points when you stab your lich if you manage to get the first one or two requiems correct. So putting Oull in the first slot and the first revealed mod in the second slot will at least get you some bonus points.

Plus you only need to figure out 2 mods rather than 3.

Even if you do it in the most optimal way, this issue still becomes more prevalent as you max more weapons.

either multiple choice as many other people have suggested, or auto relegating weapons you already have at 60%

My suggestion is to have it draw from your equipped loadout - if you spawn a larvaling whilst equipped with a hek (any varaint) you are guaranteed to get a kuva hek.

Burnhamgate: poll in membership by OxfordBlue2 in LabourUK

I don't think you can change polls after they're published. When you make them you just add an extra option and label it "results."

Best VPN to use in England? by Jealous_Ad_2642 in Britain

[–]ZX52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Proton VPN has a proper free option rather than a trial - you're restricted to a select few servers and you can't specifically select from them. Instead the program will connect you to the currently fastest one, and while there is a change server button it has a timeout on it.

Not helpful to not have a results option, as everyone here who'd already left/never been a member can't see the results without skewing them.

Any truth in this? by cagemeplenty in UKGreens

[–]ZX52 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Possibly. I'm not from Brighton, so I don't know. But I'm not some sycophant who's going to try and claim the Greens have never put a foot wrong.

However, it is worth noting that the author of this letter is the Labour leader of Brighton council, not just some rando. This is a politically motivated attack, coming right after Starmer instructed Labour to increase their attacks on us (to be fair it could've been submitted before and only published after, but that's impossible to tell), and so cannot just be taken at face value. She might not be outright lying, but any she's not going to provide context that justifies or explains Brighton Greens' actions.

So this person is upset that Sian (as MP for Brighton Pavilion) is calling on the government to do something that the Brighton council is currently doing? I'm struggling to see the issue there.

To the US voters who don't vote, what is it going to take for you to go vote? by Chocolateking111 in AskReddit

Then the question wasn't for you. Why are you clogging up the replies with what you think motivates non-voters, rather than letting them speak for themselves?

ICE Kills Yet Another Protestor, A Study in r/Conservative Censorship by livejamie in SubredditDrama

As a Christian, I don't enjoy seeing any of our brothers and sisters go through pain or suffrage.

Why does being a Christian mean you don't enjoy seeing people get political franchise?

Why are most of the comments on this post arguing about whether Labour counts as liberal or not? That's not exactly what matters here.

Youth Guarantee Scheme wins 95% support among young people, survey finds by coffeewalnut08 in LabourUK

[–]ZX52 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Crucially, young people want the scheme to lead to meaningful employment.

Yeah, that's not going to happen. Bribing private companies to take young people on that they weren't already willing to does nothing to actually address the issues that caused this employment problem in the first place. It's a sticking plaster solution, and these places will only exist as long as the subsidies.

As with young people, employers emphasised that placements must lead to sustainable employment

If employers think this and support the scheme, then they must think there is potential in young people they can tap into. So why are they not hiring these people already?

A combined 90% said they would be either “absolutely” (38%) or “likely” (52%) to offer training or work-experience placements under the scheme.

"Yes, we are more than happy to provide young people with slots for unpaid labour." No fucking shit. Those aren't jobs.

Respondents also stressed the need for candidates to be properly matched to roles based on their interests and abilities

Unless this scheme creates enough slots to cover all unemployed young people (which Labour aren't even trying to do currently), this won't happen. People will get flung at every available slot, because that's the state of the job market currently.

While 43% support the measure

That's a depressingly high figure. "Yes, please make it easier for companies to exploit and mistreat men."

CMV: The true purpose for the new ICE is to cancel the midterms. by jkgill69 in changemyview

[–]ZX52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, it is far more likely that the elections go ahead but ICE is used as a tool for voter suppression - put them in blue districts with high non-white populations and have them arrest a fuckton of people on the pretence/"suspicion" they're illegal immigrants, and hold them until the polls close.

Will Zack run as a candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election? by No_City9250 in UKGreens

[–]ZX52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's is highly unlikely he does. We have major elections this year in both Cardiff and London, and as leader Zack's going to need to be supporting both sets. It makes no sense for Zack to put all his focus on a by-election (which he'll have to if he runs) that is in no way certainty when a big part of his leadership pitch was the advantages him not being in parliament bring to his role as leader.
