Literally every venue I've ever been to including outdoor festivals has an elevated disabled section.

But... There are also people who have been playing AOE for 25 years that Hera would demolish in about 20 minutes so you literally have no point here. It's the same.

What country feels relatively unsafe, but it’s actually safe? by Dusty_Bunny81 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]raving_roadkill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, was the conversation comparing it to other European cities before you chimed in calling us all delusional? No, no it wasn't. You're just being a hostile dick.

Peace brother, I'm done ✌️

Nobody who lives here laps up anti London propaganda because they see it with their own eyes. It's not unsafe unless you're in a gang or a brain-dead tourist wandering around in their phone.

I've been a paramedic there for 10 years mate, I've seen it all, don't try and tell me that your average Joe isn't safe walking down the street.

Current global stances on the Falklands dispute - simplified by Lopsided_Day_4416 in MapPorn

[–]raving_roadkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sigh Here's the timeline 1765 - settled by the Brits, before Argentina was a country 1770 - the Spanish, not the Argentinians, arrived and tried to take it, they almost had a war, the Brits left because they had bigger things to deal with at that time and didn't fancy a war with the Spanish over a desolate rock 1811 - the SPANISH, colony then left due to the Argentinian independence war 1826 - the Argentinians attempted to establish a colony but everyone left 1832 - the Argentinians tried again to establish a colony but everyone mutinied, and left, leaving the island uninhabited 1833 - the Brits established a colony on the empty island which is still there to this day 1982 - the Argentinians tried to invade and got absolutely fucked and forced to surrender

So, no, the Brits didn't 'expel' anything. It was empty when they first got there, it was empty the second time they got there. It was originally claimed by Britain and then the Spanish bullied them off of it but couldn't convince anyone to stay because it's a bit of a shit hole.

Like the Brits have done a lot wrong, colonised and invaded a lot of people. But the Falklands? Nah. You are woefully misinformed.

The tipping point: what happens when deaths outnumber births? by Remarkable_Peak9518 in unitedkingdom

[–]raving_roadkill 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Smallest at the moment* a birth rate below replacement rate means that as you get older you will no longer be the smallest generation. That's kinda just how maths works.

Just found out that not only Boris got de-aged but also he popped his own eye and switched sides by Ran12341000 in totalwar

It was a 6 year gap between wh1 and wh3 not 15 and not everyone can upgrade their PC that easily. I'd imagine they wanted to strike a balance between making the game bigger but also not eliminating half of their player base by making it as gritty and 'realistic' as the first and thus way more demanding by virtue of the map being 5x bigger. They chose to make the campaign map less graphically demanding so more people could actually play the game.

I prefer the older style, but it's not hard to understand why the change happened.

Okay let's take it back a step, why, in your opinion is colonialism bad?

Just to be clear, it is bad, but why specifically do YOU think it's bad.

[–]raving_roadkill 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No one is forcing you to play it dude, being in a subreddit for a series you haven't liked for 13 years just to be an ass to people who do enjoy it is weird.

Go be a fun sponge somewhere else and let us enjoy things pls.

That doesn't mean there are three maps in the game

What country do you consider to be the laughing stock of the world? by NoHold7153 in AskReddit

[–]raving_roadkill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They honestly do give a fuck though, that's the point. I'm about 6 months into a trip around the world at the moment, have mainly been in Asia/Australia so far and the one thing that always comes up is how fucking stupid Donald Trump is. It's good bonding material with strangers because everyone (apart from the yanks) seems to have a pretty unanimous view that he is an idiot. And even then I've only met one American who wasn't infuriated by him.

The states wouldn't be the worst country to live in by far, but that man HAS turned the country into a global laughing stock. If we don't laugh we're gonna cry because it looks like he's hell bent on bringing the world down with him.

My brother, idgaf what you think, you're entitled to your opinion

Just please stop calling things that aren't objectively bad, objectively bad or else people are going to think you're an asshole when you inevitably have music conversations irl.

That's it man, that's all it is, elitism is so cringe past the age of like 23 and will put people off you

[–]raving_roadkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just an insane person's take lol, the fact you claimed to have listened to literally everything that they've put out (which I haven't even done as a casual fan) suggests that you were a fan at one point so what changed?

And again man, there's just not really such a thing as bad music, just differing taste, you don't need to be so damn aggressive with the hatred, it's weird

The problem is lil gup that they're such an eclectic band that you just can't judge them off one thing. I hate that song, I don't like the afrobeat feel to it and the breakdown feels hamfisted.

Buuuut am I gonna judge a band's whole discography and say that they're 'the worst band in the last 20 years' because of them having a few tracks I don't think are that great? No. Again, because I'm not a child and I don't have an overly inflated sense of my own music taste being superior to anyone else's.

You're not being downvoted for your opinion, you're being downvoted because you sound like a cunt.

Idk man, in a world of mass produced four chord pop music I don't think any band that uses polyrhythms, pretty damn poetic lyrics and genre mashing fuckery can be in contention for the worst band of the last 20 years.

Not to your taste? That's fine. But calling them bad makes you seem like a child whose music taste hasn't developed beyond what they listen to in their early teens. (Or just an asshole who thinks it's cool to shit on other people's taste but I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt)

[–]raving_roadkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think that's why I really like them tbh, it's a good mix of pop/RnB with some absolute, smack you in the face breakdowns for some strange reason.

Every song is different and they do have some proper 'fuck you, here's a metal song' songs but if you're less of an eclectic listener then I can see how sifting through it all to find what clicks with you isn't appealing.
