As a huge NFS Underground fan, The Crew is the only game I’ve played that comes close

Wait wtf, how hot does it have to be for you to wear shorts?

I’ll begin wearing them 100% of the time at 50F and 0% at maybe 30F?

And then I’ll have to cower indoors in underwear only at 70F or so, as that’s *too* hot

And how many millions of people are fairly good at being a software developer?

I think “fairly good” was an understatement on my part… Tim Berners-Lee got a knighthood for being “fairly good” as a software developer, as he invented the worldwide web. Kier Starmer got a knighthood for being “fairly good” as a public procecutor for handling a number of cases of national importance extremely well. What have you done that has significantly changed the country for the better?

You’ve got to consider the difficulty/seniority of the job, a general doing a “fairly good” job is more likely to get a medal than a private doing a “fairly good” job who’ll get fuck all

He did a fairly good job as the head of criminal prosecutions in the UK for around 5 years, and he was knighted to recognise that when he stepped down

“The conservatives and lib dems look pretty proportional to me. 10/10 voting system” /s

Personally I know more people who’ve moved away from Labour than to it, I just acknowledge that people outside of cities exist and that I live in something of a bubble.

Refusing to accept that is the sort of thinking that gets Reform so many votes as many people in large cities forget that the majority of the population don’t live in cities, and so don’t suffer from the problems there so much (higher cost of living and lower labour availability than rural areas) and so don’t care so much about progressive or socialist policies.

EDIT: sorry, it’s late, I misread, I’ll keep this up and maybe edit again later because I’m too sleepy to respond to what you actually said right now

Nobody thinks we’re going to have a truly left wing government, as for whatever reason vanishingly few people want to vote for that.

I wouldn’t if I were you they’re the scariest of the lot

The president has always been allowed to assassinate you… They’re in charge of the CIA/FBI/NSA/IRS/Other scary 3 letters who assassinate people all the time.

Making presidents immune in official actions is almost required given the sheer number of decisions they have to make and the scrutiny they’re under means they’re sure to break laws sometimes, plus the subjectivity of some laws (eg is making bad decisions and crashing the econony/causing infighting in the military or whatever else treason?) however in unofficial actions they should absolutely not be immune.

Even if you’re not banned from hexbear can you really interact with it?

I wouldn’t call someone going through the wikipedia article for informal fallacies like it’s a checklist then brigading all your past activities an interaction so much as an experience, and not a good one at that.

it’s also worth mentioning that JPEG was designed for photographs, where there’s a very high likelihood that each pixel of an image will be a different colour to those immediately next to it. Because of this, JPEG not only has higher file sizes for text and 2d graphics/pixel art than PNG and especially a compressed SVG (which would far and away be the best method of representing the mario image - it’s close to the same “tile” thing but transferrable and well supported), but it also results in artifacts and lower quality of the image.

It’d make it simpler if they skipped the shortlisting part and just treat the ones you added to the shortlist as “agree” policies though; it also would vastly increase the usefulness of the tool as well.

Their summaries of all parties stances but Reform are close to identical for the vast majority of issues; how can they write them and think “yes, people will be able to pick exactly one of these, and that should have as much weighting against the identical policies to the ones you picked as the ones you actually disagree with”

It’d be so much better and probably easier to not have the shortlisting/final pick system and just let you say “I agree with this” or “I disagree with this” and leave it at that

Black gets a licence to crenellate and installs walls and cannons around each of their rooks

Let’s not pretend Guyana are as bad as Mexico, Nigeria and Kazakhstan though

This is so niche… Not current production, not future production, not emissions, just the difference between production now and production later seemingly designed to give the middle east and Venezuela a pass because they’re already producing a crazy amount

It wasn’t, however the association with Great Britain is undeniable, especially when Lesser Britain doesn’t even refer to Ireland any more (in Roman times it did), but Brittany, however “British Isles” was in use by the Greeks (at least Prettanic Isles) before even that - well before the union of England and Scotland, never mind Ireland’s conquest.

Personally I’m happy with Atlantic Isles/Islands/Archipelago as I agree the term isn’t great due to the implicit association, but it’s not like it was something just made up by colonists.

See also “they have a hot head” vs “they have a hot body/face”

It does, especially given the name predates the country by 2-3 thousand years; it’s not exactly optimal but in reality “These Islands” is the only alternative and something is needed to refer to them from outside the islands.
