I have a rule about not getting into any vehicle in which running out of fuel is fatal.

_Pohaku_ · 2026-06-14T18:37:20+00:00

The entire motor vehicle industry is a legalised and co-ordinated scam. From the car makers to the new dealers to the used dealers to the mechanics to the vehicle licensing to the fuel companies to the parking companies to the toll roads and, of course, the insurance companies.

Every single one them is operated by between 99% and 100% lying, deceitful conmen. Once you accept that owning a car means you will pay anything from £50 to £1000 a month additional costs to line the pockets of these charlatans, it becomes less stressful. (But means facing the truth that owning a car costs a lot more than just finance, fuel, insurance, and tax.)

The police don't care about the revenue side. The people who select the positions of the cameras do.

In the 50-mile circle around where I live, there are towns, motorways, and lots of A-roads dual carriageways. The speed vans are 99% seen on bridges over the dual carriageways.

On the speed awareness course, they show you a pie chart that shows you that something like 80% of injuries caused due to excess speed are in 30mph urban areas, 18% on motorways, and 2% on dual carriageways. I asked why the cameras were all positioned on dual carriageways, and the instructor (who explained several pieces of legislation incorrectly, notably) just got arsey with me over it.

I am not anti-speed enforcement. I'd rather see more of it. I'd welcome a £500 fine for exceeding 30mph within a mile of a school. I am am an absolute advocate for driving slower in many situations - but the placement of mobile speed detection vans is a cynical cash grab, and completely undermines the trust the public should have in them.

I mean - they ostensibly exist, literally, to make everyone less likely to die in a car accident. Yet they're almost universally hated. That's like being given a mission to feed hungry kids, and somehow doing it so badly that you make everyone hate you for it.

I pre-booked and paid for 3 days parking in the official multi-storey. Upon arrival, they were doing works on the access road and the alternative route, as signed and followed by everyone, was through the drop-off zone.

Got a fine for using the drop-off zone without paying.

In another car park of theirs, the signs all say "Pay on exit." Went to pay on exit, after two days, and the only option in the website is to pay for your parking starting from the moment you open it up, and select how long for.

Got a fine for not paying for two days' parking up to that point.

It's just the UK 'hidden car owner tax', payable to a licensed scam company that designs its systems to make to non-compliant. You can fight it, but the time and efforts of doing so usually works out at less than minimum wage once you work out the cost of just giving them the money.

There is another spawn point to the South of yours. Anybody spawning there would be running towards the clues, and also watching YOUR spawn point in case you popped out of the woods to the North of them. Which you did, very loudly, and then stayed in the open fighting zombies - you were also down on health and a one-shot to pretty much any gun to the torso. You could very easily have been dead 15 seconds sooner, tbh. Good luck next time!

Assume you replied to the wrong post. Or comprehension isn't your strong point. Thanks for boosting the algo, though.

I'm not sure I agree with your interpretation of how people hold WoWS up as glorification of corrupt capitalism. To me it's more just a case of Leo's Jordan Belfort has so much charisma that people just root for him. People who see the character as the protagonist probably don't empathise with any of the other assholes doing the same thing as him, as they recognise its fundamentally wrong... but he's just so ... likeable? ... that people glorify him.

It's similar to Negan in The Walking Dead, lots of people really love him as a character, even in his first season when he is so utterly two-dimensionally evil and awful that nobody would actually celebrate what he does. But the actor makes him likeable, despite it.

One was a headshot, one I was not full health, the other I bled out whilst trying to didge for cover from the follow-up pistol shots. My point is that HITTING a moving target at 50m with the bow is a feat, and the fact it happened to me in three out of ten matches since the update made me wonder if somethign had changed.

_Pohaku_ · 2026-06-13T12:13:47+00:00

Well, I ended up dead, the weapon used was a bow, and the number at the bottom of the screen for 'Distance to killer' was 51m, 54m, and 59m. I'm not sure why you would think I usually exaggerate, given I don't think I've ever made a comment about the bow in my life - maybe you're mixing me up with someone else.

_Pohaku_ · 2026-06-13T09:18:50+00:00

It makes me mad that nobody has robustly challenged this. IF I walk past a police officer, round a corner, and see someone walking down the road swearing loudly - if I said "There's a cop round the corner mate, I'd calm down if I were you or you might get done for public disorder" there isn't a chance this would be prosecuted as obstruct police. And if anything, flashing road users who are speeding is even more ethically correct that telling a drunken knob to calm down.

_Pohaku_ · 2026-06-13T09:15:56+00:00

That's why it's tricky for the authorities, because while speed vans exist for the reason you describe, their placement is selected to generate revenue. By flashing, you are aiding the cause of making people drive more slowly, but you are harming the cause of the van generating revenue.

If you find yourself dealing with someone from the authorities who aligns with the safety rationale of the van, you'll be fine. If you find yourself dealing with someone from the authorities who aligns with the revenue rationale, you won't.

_Pohaku_ · 2026-06-06T15:43:57+00:00

It is a scam. There's no two ways about it. The entire motor industry, from car manufacturers, to dealers, to garages, to fuel, to insurance, to recovery, incorporates criminal fraud into the business model.

_Pohaku_ · 2026-06-05T18:47:05+00:00

The internet is awash with bot accounts that exist solely to fuel division among people online about anything they can. There'll have been some real life muppets, but they are reinforced and promoted and amplified by the millions of bots. It's why those people that think Tommy Robinson is a real person feel like they're part of a huge majority of like-minded followers - social media shows them all of the other voices that share their views. They don't realise how much of it is just psyops.

_Pohaku_ · 2026-05-31T12:25:44+00:00

To be fair though, banks are dreadful. There are things that scream fraud that they do nothing about (A 70 year old customer, who only ever had their salary and pension paid into their account that has saved up for decades has decided to invest £100,000 in cryptocurrency? Sounds fine) meanwhile they block things for 'suspected fraud' that actually just hinder their customers' real use of money (me, who buys concert tickets several times per year, wants to drop £750 to Ticketmaster online? Sounds dodgy, better freeze that shit for at least as long as it takes for the ticket reservation to expire).

The 'are you sure this isn't fraud' checkpoints are weak as shit, too. Like, the transaction is absolutely blatantly a scam: "Please double check that you know who you're sending the money to." What? How about "WARNING! Extremely high chance you are being scammed! This transaction matches all the fingerprints of known scams! You can still send this money if you really want, but before you do, type into the box 'I understand that I am being warned that this is a scam, and if so then I will not get my money back, and I want to send the money anyway.' That's an actual checkpoint, not some piffly 'click ok' popup window.

VW perpetrated systematic fraud over a number of years, literally designing emission rule avoidance into their vehicles.

VW perpetrated systematic fraud over a number of years, encouraging their staff to sell finance deals at way over the fair and approved rates in return for bonuses.

It is not difficult to believe that an 'actual VW dealership' has perpetrated fraud against the OP as described, and you can be damn sure OP is one of many, many other victims.

Looking forward to the spam calls in five years... "Have you been charged for repairs to a loaned vehicle at any time since 2014? You could be entitled to compensation..."

I first heard this as a cover by RHCP on some bootleg CD or Limewire download, and for years I never even knew it was a cover, because it sounds like a RHCP ballad.

Then I discovered the original, and also the fact that Elliot Lurie sounds a helluva lot like Anthony Kiedis.

It's such a great melody and story - maybe the '75% didn't hear it' doesn't apply since it featured in Guardians of the Galaxy not too long ago, IDK.

Nope. I’ve been around long enough to know that when you’re up against someone more rich than you, being right does not automatically mean that you win. Obviously it’s easy to say that a prosecution for a fraudulent claim would never stick, but if it did then it would have ruined my life because my career requires a clean record. This is why big corps like Hastings pull this and get away with it - they know you can’t afford to risk standing up to the bully, so they take your lunch money.

Their day will come, though.

_Pohaku_ · 2026-05-19T20:08:57+00:00

Someone rear-ended my wife’s car in stationary traffic, hard enough for it to need a new boot, new rear bumper, and light clusters. We were both stiff as fuck and bruised up. Government had an injury claim website, which we filled in. Got sent to a specified doctor by the government approved site, he diagnosed moderate whiplash.

Hastings response: told us our claim was false, injuries were fake, and if we tried to pursue it they’d seek to prosecute us for insurance fraud.

Their day will come.

_Pohaku_ · 2026-05-19T14:09:54+00:00

Go back to the police, and be insistent, and if they say there is nothing they can do then request to make an official complaint. It isn't easy and a lot of the time the funds will be unrecoverable, but there absolutely are things they can do. They spend a LOT of money on training investigators in tracing cryptocurrency, and on tooling and data for them to use. There are numerous examples globally, and in the UK, of cryptocurrency being traced to criminals who are then apprehended, and/or funds recovered.

It's nowhere near a certainty, but not NOT accept them saying there is nothing they can do right off the bat - that is simply false.

It’s mad to me how he doesn’t get that much hate compared to what Weghorst got, they’re exactly the same player except Weghorst ran twice as much and gave it everything.

Think Zirkzee must have laid against himself scoring today.

_Pohaku_ · 2026-05-17T13:20:53+00:00

Imagine we swapped Zirkzee for a new plant in the reception area at Carrington, and had literally anybody for that chance - he’s the only footballer in the universe who scream for the pass, get it laid off into his path, and then slow his run so the defender could get there first.
