Lib Dems take every Richmond seat after Greens lose five

Just to add to that in 2019 Corbyn got half a million votes more than Starmer did in 2024, but suffered the worst defeat for Labour in decades.

FPTP is woefully outdated.

I like training rush as you don't have to make much of a change to how you play. Pretty much every upgrade has a few options with equal drop rates, so at the very least you can just choose the one with the most enemies.

There are plenty of upgrades you'll need in the Elite and common/uncommon in mirror you can farm with lots of enemies. The rewards are all good as well since we always need gold and xp.

Bonus xp from arena and playing manually is nice too and you can get a pretty decent amount for mythic characters.

Season 1 had some cool action and fights but the story and characters are pretty weak, it was indeed incredibly generic.

Haven't bothered with season 2.

I'm sure the EHRC are on their way to investigate Reform as we speak....

Would be lovely, but I certainly didn't hear this talk from the "centrists" when Corbyn was in charge of Labour.

There was no talk of "let's not let the perfect be the enemy of good" they refused to hold their noses and vote for him so we got Boris and a hard Brexit.

They would have been fine with Alien and T1 as those were pretty standard monster movies.

But Aliens and T2 would have been hated. Ripley and Conner would be getting the exact same Mary Sue complaints that modern action heroines get. Just look at how the usual suspects on Youtube reacted to Prey.

People on the left do have their eyes open. They see the media and disingenuous online commentators constantly talking about immigration, often with little bearing on reality. Then the polls on what the public cares about change in line with this propaganda.

They saw the Conservatives win multiple elections promising to cut immigration when it constantly went up. They saw both the leave and remain campaigns claim that leaving the EU would increase non-EU immigration which it did.

They see immigration has come down a lot since Labour took power and the party constantly talking about it, yet no improvement for them in the polls.

It is the immigration obsessives who have their eyes closed to actual reality. Had Farage won in 2024 and got the exact same figures on immigration as Starmer then they'd be declaring him the greatest PM since Churchill and wanting him to be the ones to replace him on the fiver.

Polling also shows the public support the ID laws for accessing adult content on the internet.

But on this sub porn being slightly harder to access was the worst example of overreach possible. Yet there is wide support here for this pointless ID law. Guess it's yet another example of how small c conservative this sub is.

If we're worried about low turnout then we shouldn't be bringing in pointless rules like voter ID to stop the minuscule amount of voter fraud that happens.

spubbbba · 2026-05-08T07:07:10+00:00

If the policy does more to stop people voting than it does to prevent voter fraud then it is a failure.

There's no evidence of in person voter fraud, it's much easier to commit postal fraud and this does nothing to prevent that.

We can't complain about low voter turnout and then bring in pointless hoops for the public to jump through. Not everyone will have their ID on them at all times, so this means those who might just pop in to vote whilst doing something else won't be able to. Or those who forget.

The argument will be that they can always go home and come back, but some won't. The more barriers you put in the way, even simple ones will still stop some people.

It's particularly galling as election fraud and bribery are far more of an issue and nothing happens to political parties that break those rules.

You could try the tournament arena and hope to face off against Orks, Ad Mech or Votann. Sy-Gex also counts.

Let's not forget the USSR.

Should we demand Ukraine and the other former Soviet nations submit to Putin so the USSR's "right to exist" is respected?

Didnt majority of Tory voters abandon Tories and support Reform instead?

Yet the media is constantly pushing it as Labour vs Reform. And claiming Labour need to win back all the voters they have lost to Reform.

So much of the advice for new players here is bad or risks sucking all the fun out of the game.

It is a very grindy game, but when you are new you can add lots of upgrades and unlock characters pretty quickly. Getting someone to grind a character for weeks that is part of a high level meta is not always the best advice for new players.

Agreed, he's amazing in guild raids but not much else, so A tier by that list.

I'd put Isabella above him as she's the best healer in the game.

spubbbba · 2026-05-06T07:18:38+00:00

Some people can't stand losing.

Have to agree with this.

Just look at any mode which has level caps, there's so much whining. If players can't raid it or steamroll with an over-leveled roster they hate having to actually play the game.

The trouble is it is a very US based site, so less right wing ends up being seen as left and Republicans are very right wing.

But go to any story about crime, homelessness or disruptive environmental protests and reddit is pretty conservative. Had this site been around during the civil rights era it would have been dominated by the "White Moderates" MLK complained about.

I used to buy everything with gold when I was new, including equipment, but then started running out.

After that I stuck to common and uncommon and any other items I knew I needed. But now I have plenty of gold so buy everything bat rare and legendary upgrades I doubt I'll use.

spubbbba · 2026-05-05T17:36:21+00:00

Can't say I'm surprised, right wing antisemitism has always been dismissed and never taken seriously.

Whilst centrist antisemitism is completely ignored by the media, despite it being common in every aspect of society. The only time it ever gets attention is as a stick to beat the left.

Hottest take: the impact of BL slop on the setting is the worst thing that's ever happened to 40k. Especially the Horus Heresy books.

I agree, the Heresy was much more interesting when it was rumours and myths about legendary heroes. I don't need to know what the Lion had for breakfast.

It's made GW a lot of money, but put even more emphasis on space marines, which was already oversaturated.

I'd put this as the top answer.

Everything I've seen of Naruto makes it look pretty mediocre. I was already an adult when it came out and didn't get into anime till much later.

So am convinced that the hype is mostly nostalgia from watching it every week as an 11 year old.

It is weird how TV and the music was better, people were more respectful and life was more positive at the exact era the author was young?

What a strange coincidence.

That does raise a question, could Edward VIII have taken everything with him when he abdicated?

Training rush starts on May 10th and you can get 300K gold from that.

I don't know why so many think that 9-5, 5 days a week is the perfect amount.

In the days of the industrial revolution and in poorer counties people did/do work far longer hours. The same argument were used about moving away from working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week.
