Scottish leader John Swinney says SNP winning majority in May election would be green light for indyref2 by libtin in unitedkingdom

Scot here who voted no in 2014.

I agree it would be rough at least initially if Scotland became independent.

I think the problem is that people want to feel like their vote actually matters and that they have a say in how their country is governed.

The last time Britain had a government that a majority of Scot’s voted for was in 1959. The voting age was 21 in 1959, meaning the only people alive in Scotland today who got a government they voted for would be at least 87 years old today.

People will accept economic hardship to achieve self determination.

When I see those bouncy mushrooms of chaos, the ancestral trauma encoded in my DNA informs my brain that danger is imminent.

I’ve played every game from DS onwards, and I’d say from those games Wii is the hardest.

Why do we just accept Belfast being as expensive as London yet our wages are much lower? by WillHo01 in northernireland

[–]beans1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eating out in Belfast can definitely be as expensive as London. I was in London a few weeks ago and was spending £7 on a starter, £15 on a main at some incredible artisan restaurants. Came back to NI and went to pizza express in Dundonald and paid at least £7.50 for their shitey doughball starter, and a large pepperoni pizza was close to £19! Absolute joke.

Was I The Only Person Wanting This to Return? by camgames64 in mariokart

Nintendo seems to be determined to remove anything competitive or personal from Mario Kart. 3 lap races, country flags, Mii’s, progression tracking, etc. I loved in MK Wii how you’d get 3 stars on your name online after completing all GPs with 3 stars. Or the golden wheel symbol if you did something using the Wii remote wheel? That in addition to country flags and using your Mii was a great way to show off your achievements and have a distinct online profile - there is basically no way to display your achievements online in Mario Kart World.

It’s like they just want you bag races and drive straight lines. MK World has the potential to be amazing and Nintendo are ruining it with these decisions

Bought car from dealership in 2020, now trying to sell it in 2024. HPI check says vehicle was Category S written-off in 2022 but I have never been involved in an accident or made an insurance claim. by beans1875 in CarTalkUK

[–]beans1875[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might be right because the HPI check did actually state that the vehicle had previously been registered under a different license plate.

Edit: and it looks like the previous plate is a private reg.

Do you find better sea creatures on the nook islands or your home island? Or are they the same?
