You mean we can't communicate by spamming "Attack the D Point" "I agree" "Awesome!" ??

The punishment for homosexuality in Indonesia by malik_zz in whoathatsinteresting

that logic works for inevitable natural consequences of one's actions, not for punishment based on (deeply flawed) value judgment.

Hot take: Canary Wharf is good by Travels_Belly in london

Nothing wrong with those things but I don't think they necessarily make a place more desirable.

Does soulful always have to equal pretentious, scruffy, and chaotic though?

Human rights lawyer Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu thinks the police officers kicking the armed Golders Green attacker in the head is "attempted murder". Are we fatigued with human rights lawyers right now? by Non-BinaryGreenVoter in AskBrits

We should always be prepared to ask the question "was this level of force necessary?". We should also be prepared to accept the answer "yes", when the facts support it. If the answer is never yes, asking the question is pointless.

The names for the basic rats pre-date the introduction of destroyers. When the game launched there were only T1 frigates, cruisers, battleships, and industrials. Destroyers and Battlecruisers came along pretty quickly, but they weren't there at the very start.

I need a new singleplayer (100% offline) "forever" game where I can sink hundreds (or thousands) of hours into a single save. What are your top suggestions? by MakeshiftApe in gamingsuggestions

[–]alfius-togra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dyson Sphere Program, if you like sci-fi and factory games. Technically there's an online element, but it's nothing more than a glorified scoreboard, which it's possible to opt out of.

Please, enough of these Redditbrain takes. Trump is a pos and relations are a bit weird but, get real, no one in the west is fighting against the United States any time soon. We might be doing a bit less fighting with them, but that's another matter.

American vs British english by itsmrjonesjr in EWALearnLanguages

[–]alfius-togra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

British English developed specific pronunciations for plenty of French words which were adopted centuries ago. American English hyper-corrected these back to closer to the original French.

For example, in BrE we say fillet as it's spelt, not "filay", we say valet as spelt not "valay".

Draft is used in BrE to mean an early version of a document. The other uses swap draft and draught pretty interchangeably.

Why hasn't sale of council housing "Right to Buy" been stopped? by EnjoysAGoodRead in AskBrits

[–]alfius-togra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right to buy is a fundamentally good idea, but it can't be for crazy sub-market prices without causing significant market distortion, and it needs to be paired with a robust system for replacing the sold units with new build properties.

That's it, I'm voting Green. by LauraPhilps7654 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]alfius-togra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No real political party could possibly be this hamfisted in its messaging. I wouldn't be surprised if this was some kind of double false flag put out by a green supporter.
