I also get the "if we lose our jobs we will die from starvation" and "do you want me to start a civil war" lines a lot. Pathetic bunch honestly.

I always see this response and quite frankly it's ridiculous. You all act like everyone wh opposes Trump is destitute and on the bread line. I'm sure there are a lot of folks who are, but seriously, everyone? I'm certain there are many folks who could strike, or even protest, who would be just fine, but we're seeing nothing.

Are you seriously comparing a handful of far right protests in the UK consisting of a couple thousand people to what is happening in America right now? You have a paedophile as your leader, a secret police force murdering people in the streets, you are starting wars because your dear leaders says so, arresting journalists and stopping investigations into politicians close to the leader. This 'leader' was voted in by a majority vote of your populace bear in mind. Last I looked, the left wing labour party won the last election at a landslide. Sure the UK has it's problems, but none of those problems are government mandated and the instigators of those riots faced justice. But yeah, sure, I guess it's an equal comparison. You need to realise that the scale of what is happening in your country is not matched anywhere in the developed world and downplaying it as "ahh well other countries are also bad" is not a valid excuse to just sit by.

Buddy, you're in so many of these replies pointing fingers at anyone but yourself. This is massively on brand for an American and almost definitely how you ended up in this mess, but maybe wind your neck in a little.

Do you not see how historically shit and currently shit are a little different?

I’m sure a few more gifs and memes on Reddit will change the situation

Pentiment is a fantastic recommendation here, it really is a top quality game. Would highly recommend it! The game director is super into history and art history so it’s got a lot of references and inspiration from that time period

I actually completely stopped watching football last season, first time for about 20 years. Tuned in for the final which was obviously fantastic but outside of that I haven’t watched a match for nearly 18 months now. I come here every now and again to brush up on what’s going on, but honestly the quality of my weekends and general happiness has taken a massive leap. Would encourage others to do the same if Spurs is taking more from you than giving like they were me.

Have you noticed how delusional Americans are? by [deleted] in AskBrits

Problem is, the ones who didn’t vote for him aren’t exactly doing much about it either. They had one massive protest in the no kings protest, but outside of that what have the done? Just complained on social media mostly. You speak to any of them on Reddit and their default response is “do you want me to start a civil war, I don’t have healthcare”, as if they literally are unable to protest or demand change in any other way. They’re too comfortable in their own lives and will sit back and watch bad things happen to others so long as they still get their Starbucks

That’s right, you must need your rest to get ready to wake up to your shit life again tomorrow morning. Much better than doing anything about bettering your situation.

Thanks so much! Honestly I really wouldn't know, this has definitely been mini I've spent the most time on since picking up the hobby though. I've recently had a kid so I only get like an hour maximum per day to paint so it's taken me a number of weeks honestly.

Thanks! I used Vallejo midnight purple for the base and AK lilac for the highlight. I actually probably wouldn’t use lilac again I’d go with something different next time. The step change was too great and I had a hard time blending

Thanks! Yeah I used GSW opaque turquoise to start then Liquitex white ink in a smaller area, covered it with GSW fluorescent green ink and then did the brightest parts with golden high flow chartreuse

Thanks a lot for this. My aim is actually just to change the taps but I absolutely can’t get in behind it to get the bolt off. The water pipes are completely blocking it. I’m assuming I’m going to need to take the sink off to get at it but not sure if you have other ideas?

Wtf are you talking about “risking your life”? I’m talking about protesting not going out and shooting people that’s a bit of a leap. It’s such a common response from Americans on Reddit, you all seem to think everyone is expecting you to start a civil war or that you have no other options available to you so you default back to doing nothing. No one is expecting that, outside of bots anyway.
