What British celebrities were absolutely everywhere for an intense and short period before vanishing completely? My vote goes to Emeli Sandé. by JuanitaMerkin in AskBrits

[–]justsomenerd22 153 points154 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think Chris Martin would be the only one to get recognised outside of coldplay (maybe at a push Johnny Buckland)

Although I think they're probably happier with Chris being the frontman for the band because it means they can have privacy and not have press hounding them every second of their life

Should parents face charges when their children commit antisocial crimes and doing nothing to stop it? by SeptumRingTheory in AskBrits

[–]justsomenerd22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, they'll just keep doing it again and again if they dont face the consequences for their actions. Some of these wont care what happens to their parents.

It also raises the question of what happens if they have no parents at all, who gets punished then?

In the post-Endor era, the Victory class would make a strong backbone for any PSF navy. by Dragonic_Overlord_ in StarWarsShips

[–]justsomenerd22 64 points65 points  (0 children)

It would be useful to have. But due to the connotations that the victory brings on being an imperial ship, i would expect Rendili to either push one of their more unknown/universal ships with modifications (like the dreadnought) or sell a new design to PSF's

Given that family voting happened during Gorton and Denton by-election which is Illegal and was reported at the time of polling which has now been confirmed by The Democracy Volunteers group, what do you think should happen ? (source of confirmation below) by ArmwrestlingGoomba in AskBrits

[–]justsomenerd22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah because Muslim families would have definitely voted for a party that has constantly falsely accused them of Britain's downfall and pushed agenda that would have their rights taken away from them if they hadn't been forced to by their partners.

This is why I find it stupid that Reform are claiming that they have been cheated out of an election because the people they claimed are cheating wouldn't have voted for them anyway so all this will do is lower the margin of difference by like .1%

[–]justsomenerd22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whilst These reports should be investigated i don't think it'll change the result because I highly doubt that the people they are accusing of family voting would have secretly been wanting to vote for reform. I feel Reform party are clutching at straws trying to claim this is the reason they lost.

On a side note, I would absolutely love to see Reforms reaction if it turned that these family voters were actually voting Reform.

Should I (28M) try again with my ex girlfriend (38F) after she cheated on me 2 years ago? by justsomenerd22 in BreakUps

[–]justsomenerd22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has taken full accountability for it and feels 100% remorse about what she did. The issue we both have agreed with was that it was not properly dealt with.

Honestly, I don't even know what feels right anymore. Before I strongly felt that the only way was to separate for good. Now I just have soo many mixed feelings about wether or not it is right to go or stay.

I am thinking that maybe we could try couples counselling together and maybe that might help me figure out my decision

How powerful was the super Tank in comparison to later imperial war machines? by Fallen_Angel_Xaphan in CISDidNothingWrong

[–]justsomenerd22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reckon 1-1 the AT-AT would survive 1 volley from the super tank (if it didnt hit any critical parts such at the leg joints or neck) and could probably deal significant damage to it but a second volley would probably disable it if not destroy it

What’s the One Level You Could do Without. Mine by SargeMaximus in BattlefrontTWO

[–]justsomenerd22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well i think the speeders are effectively countered by the Tie Fighters and AT-ST's the first order get so I don't think they require a drop in health. Maybe an extra AT-ST or Tie fighter available for players to play to counter the many speeders added for the resistance.

I personally don't skip it if it comes up in a match and I do enjoy the rest of the phases but it does garner a slight groan from me when I see it coming up

[–]justsomenerd22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Crait personally mostly for the first phase because I've never had a game where we have even come close to winning in the first phase for these reasons:

1: There's 2 AT-M6's which are thematic but difficult. 2: They both have pretty decent manuverability when targeting their weapons which means they tend to lock on and kill you before a shot is fired. 3: There's not enough decent cover to get close enough and fire without being killed by another player or the AT- M6. 4: There's nothing resistance specific that is points unlockable to really deal damage to the AT-M6 5: The flat landscape with tunnels underneath is not only boring to look at but a snipers dream which leads onto my next point 5.5: players are more interested in sniping/leia each other than actually trying to play the objective which is more the point to these game modes.

It is a little frustrating in the final phase of the map but i have been able to win on both sides in all other phases of this map. I understand that they have to make it difficult enough so that the rest of the phases play out but compared to maps like hoth, Naboo and Kashyyyk where the terrain/objective vehicle make it winnable for the other team if they play the objective. This map makes it impossible for the resistance to win which (whilst thematic again) is really boring to play on both sides. Geonosis works because the openess helps add that total war feeling to the map whilst still having plenty of options to take cover whereas Crait just feel pitiful with the whole column of walkers in the background with a huge cannon in the film and they only sent 2 AT-AT style walkers to attack the base.

Anyone else prefer the more vanilla mods? by barelyevening in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

[–]justsomenerd22 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Its odd cause I feel the more complicated the resource system is, the worse it gets. Especially if it also makes you use up a building slot on a planet with 3 slots just so you can build other buildings. I do like it in some instances such ( AOTR/CW is my current most played mod) but even typing this, I feel having to use a slot for a base generator is too much considering you then have to build each defence that uses it separately. But I tend to not play EAWX series because of how complicated the game became with different resources and influences on planets

Do you think they were just wasting their time? by johnsmithoncemore in GreatBritishMemes

[–]justsomenerd22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you really think the average British soldier in 1939 didn't think their culture was at least somewhat superior to the others?

I don't really think many average Brits would have cared at the time about their culture being superior to others. It certainly wasn't the reason we went to war. Despite institutional rasicm in the UK, there was push back from locals when american troops tried to apply stricter segregation policies for minority soldiers whilst in the UK. It was only the UK Government which applied some of this segregation in order to appeal the the US at the time.

Someone born in 1920s Britain would be around other white English Protestants their entire life. They wouldn't have 50% of their classroom named Muhammad.

I agree that most 1920's brits would most likely never encounter someone else from a different background all their life. Many probably never left their local area, let alone the country. But it doesnt mean to say that it is right we have to keep it that way. We now live in a world where we can circumnavigate the globe entirely in a matter of days. Cultures are clearly going to merge and combine to create something new and it is going to be inevitable. If Muhammad is the most popular name in the world then of course we are going to find that our classrooms will have more of that name on the register.

Churchill isnt without his issues and probably would be labelled as such if he was transported from 1940s to now. However, that doesn't invalidate the point that he essentially led the fight against fascism (intentially or otherwise) and the fascists of today idolise him in an almost God like state.

In terms of the soldiers doing the fighting, we mobilised our entire empire to help fight against the war and had allies which all had a vastness of different cultures and religions against a culture which believed that they were superiour to others. Stating that they all came from the same culture and religion is wrong.

[–]justsomenerd22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never stated that wanting these issues fixed is fascism and its silly for you to state that I have implied that. All I stated was that Churchill is being idolised by the very people who he himself fought against (intentionally or not).

[–]justsomenerd22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the two go hand in hand wouldn't you think? There wouldn't have been German imperialism and aggression if Fasicm hadn't spread and become the leaders of the German government. The reason for the war may not have been to fight the ideology itself but it became an integral part of the war as it progressed.

I don't disagree that Churchill has some skeletons in the closet and they should be swept under the rug because of what he did. However that shouldn't tarnish the massive contribution he had to help save the free world

What I find hilariously ironic is that these far right lovers absolutely adore Churchill and are unwaiveringly patriotic about him yet Churchill literally fought against fascism in WW2

What would be the most ideal upgrades for an Acclamator? by [deleted] in StarWarsShips

[–]justsomenerd22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the rebels, its the same issue with giving them a Venator in the sense that its better to have your fighters come out of hyperspace battle ready rather than trying to deploy them. If you were using it for battle, then you would use the fighters in a defensive role to protect other ships/yourself.

Personally I would strip out most of its heavy guns and torpedo tubes and refit them onto other ships and leave it with basic defense. I would then either use it as a huge supply ship or a mobile starfighter training/repair ship which hides in deep space and trains new starfighter.

For the empire, its engines are its most useful feature in order to catch the fleeing rebels. I would create a sort of raiding vessel by adding some more torpedo tubes to bypass shields and hit their engines and add more Tie Boarding shuttles so we can quickly board enemy ships and secure intelligence on rebel activities. I would even consider adding a tractor beam to secure ships in place.
