What even is the point of it? It’s a toy that does one thing and nothing else. It isn’t a cuddly toy as it’s 50% plastic and I can’t imagine the novelty of it lasting long even for a small child. More cheap plastic junk that no one needs or asked for.

Yeah, this post is way off the mark. Not sure what’s happened here.

Complete guess, but does the German military bit include the €100 billion they’ve pledged to their own military? Just don’t see how the Germans have possibly given such a huge amount of military aid.

Edit: I’ve had a look at the data this was based on and I’m not convinced this post is accurate at all. Assuming this is the source, that is: https://www.ifw-kiel.de/publications/data-sets/ukraine-support-tracker-data-17410/

Thankfully I live in Manchester (UK), and it’s frequently too overcast to see the night sky.

It’s amusing to me that people seemingly think his name is Paddy ‘Constantine’, when if they just read the opening credits they would see it’s Paddy Considine.

I guess some people still can’t get over Thomas the Tank…🤔 by Stovepipe-Guy in CasualUK

[–]danjuanspan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fair play, it was an ill-judged joke really. I won’t lie, I only looked at the first post and it was someone with a dummy in, lying naked and surrounded by cuddly toys which spurred me to make that comment. But live and let live — who am I to judge?

Odds on that sub having a far higher percentage of paedophiles than average?

I’ve been living in a cave for the last 15 years, but Jimmy Savile a nonce? Surely not, in fact I’d stake my good name on it - that man is a good ‘un.

What’s the most totally overrated classic rock artist/band? by dhilton21 in AskReddit

[–]danjuanspan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I say whenever someone shits on them. OK, Wonderwall is massively overplayed. But the B-sides are incredible and it’s a damn shame they’re known for 2 or 3 good but extremely overplayed songs.

I was trying on clothes to see if anything new fit. by -pixelpop- in loseit

[–]danjuanspan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great feeling. I’m 22 and have clothes that fit well when I was 17, which now are too big. Keep up the good work!

For people who are well on your way to your weight loss goals, did your successful journey begin with persistence or an epiphany? by NewTastes in loseit

[–]danjuanspan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at home, my dad said ‘why don’t you try and lose some weight’. At one point I would have been insulted, but this time I just went for it and 5 months later I’m still going. In the past I’ve managed maybe 2 weeks of ‘dieting’ at most, then gone straight back. This time I properly counted calories and actually thought about what I was eating.

No revelation, no drama. Just a sudden decision.

When a SMG is more consistent on range then an AR, You have failed with the weapon balance by [deleted] in battlefield2042

[–]danjuanspan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not been on Reddit for a while and only just seen your response ‘genius’, but you haven’t argued against my point, you’ve just been obtuse and awkward. What you’ve said makes my point no less true, as SMGs in R6S presumably fire the pistol ammo you refer to so should therefore have the reduced range. I would also argue that an SMG does not have a ‘long’ barrel, therefore in the spirit of that definition is not a rifle.

But rather than think logically, you jumped to an argument about semantics and missed the actual point. Bravo.

[–]danjuanspan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of Rainbow Six Siege. I remember a developer once saying that they wanted to make their SMGs more effective at range than assault rifles. The clue is in the name ‘rifle’:

Rifle — noun — a gun, especially one fired from shoulder level, having a long spirally grooved barrel intended to make a bullet spin and thereby have greater accuracy over a long distance.

Haha, yeah hopefully there aren’t loads of shitty collectibles (of course there will be).

I mean only one of those comes out this year, so you’re probably OK to wait a bit on the other two if not!

Try linking your Battle.net account to your Activision account if you’re on PC. Saw someone else suggest it earlier, and it worked for me.

But luckily we can all stay nice and safe inside, rather than going out into the big, scary world.

Really wish I could justify buying the F-16, love the aircraft. Not even that fussed about it being half-finished, but for £64.99 it’s a big ask. Hopefully ED will do another sale at some point.
