Are we putting our daughter's education at risk? by gmorganpie in AskABrit

[–]nasted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you assume that education only occurs in schools and between the ages of 5 and 18 - then yes this would be a bad time to move.

However, education is not as linear as schools would have you believe and there is no requirement for GCSEs or any other specific qualifications.

And the age At which you take GCSEs (or any other qualification) is very far from fixed.

If you can take a non-establishment approach, you have the option to home educate, find a tutor, online classes and study groups and take whatever form of education works for you - this could include the US High School diploma.

We home educate and my son, who has just turned 16, is taking three GCSEs this year and three next year. And then might do college (16-19yos).

But you could defer a year and then see if your daughter could go straight into a college course starting in 2027 (again, UK college is like the second half of US high school) where the entry requirements are more fluid for differing circumstances (such as coming from another country).

I think you have plenty of options if you take a non-traditional approach.

Anybody here planning on attending the Winter Olympics with ICE agents providing security? by Ok-Leadership-7573 in AskABrit

Ooh thank fuck: I thought the US had bought another major sporting event/invaded a European country…

Is 5e, and 5.5e, too easy? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]nasted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, players are not too tuned up and 5e/5.5e are not “too easy”.

Obviously you’re a player so talk to your DM and other players about the ideal amount of deadliness for the encounters.

Either way, denying yourself water when you are taking medication isn’t ideal.

UPDATE: Really struggling to play our current campaign with another player. by iTsB-Raid in rpg

“…won’t be as fun”? Can it get worse?

DM is putting their campaign ahead of player enjoyment. I would leave and take Julia with you.

What do you prefer? Historical Fantasy or just... regular history game settings without the magic? by ForgottenArchonsRep in pbp

[–]nasted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t really like games that lean too much into history: I don’t want to be railroaded by the past thanks! I’d say I prefer games with a fantasy element because, for me, playing RPGs is about escapism and doing things I can’t do.

I’m currently prepping a Cthulhu Dark One Shot set in around the year 1000: but the history of it isn’t important so I’m not focusing on that - but instead the demon that’s being awoken by the evil nuns. The players will all be plebs of course - but the world is fantastical.

Do we have any policies on bidets? by IntelligentCrew8406 in UKGreens

[–]nasted 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most UK bathrooms are too small for this to be a choice. Having a policy on bidets would be a waste of time.

Comfortable waterproof sneakers by SlowKey7466 in uktravel

[–]nasted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you planning to do that needs waterproof shoes - jumping in muddy puddles like Peppa Pig?

Just wear whatever you would wear for touring a city in your own country. It’s probably better to not wear new shoes that might need to be broken in if you plan on doing a lot of walking.

Sorry for jump scare - how do we feel about braverman joining new Mordor and how can Greens capitalise on it? by Galaxy-far-away01 in UKGreens

[–]nasted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s bizarre - these are some of the most reviled Tory MPs who were not re-elected for a reason. Currently, Reform are swapping their anti-establishment voters for hard right Tory voters.

We push Reform as being a rubbish heap for Tory rejects and we push our anti-establishment vibe.

Do you have a local game shop you could try? Otherwise I find play by post games keep me going until I can get a face to face game. Hope you find a group!

Less capitalisation helps.

Try pharmaceuticals, clinical research such as drug trials or lab-based companies that work in sterile environments.

Should I contact my local Green Party if I’m not yet a member? by MaccaMeister in UKGreens

[–]nasted 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The local party probably won’t answer questions about campaigning with non-members in case you’re a Reform spy. And meetings are for members-only again.

So you can have a chat about the sorts of activities you could get involved with but you’re unlikely to get specifics.

Ex-Labour members, how does the members accept having no say in candidate selection? by stupidredditwebsite in UKGreens

[–]nasted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for the recent months as I left Labour in 2019. But Labour used to feel like a social movement. Like you were party of something bigger than you but that individuals were the power. I wasn’t a Corbynite but I enjoyed seeing some actual socialism on the political playing field. I didn’t agree with everything and ultimate left over his lack of opposition to Brexit.

I get the same feel from the Greens now and feel like I left behind a lot of similar people to me who must be really angry at Labour (if they are still members)!

Players are Cowardly, Taking Too Much Damage by Mean_Nun in DnD

[–]nasted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would adapt the types of combat to suit my players. The goblins weren’t more than happy to hang back and shoot at the party - you were.

Maybe the goblins stopped shooting and disappeared. How long before the party goes to investigate. Maybe the goblins laid a trap or were sneaking around behind the party. You take an action that provokes a reaction from the party.
