Moss [they/them]

This man needs to fucking die. I don’t have a joke to make he just needs to die a painful death

They’re all the same person

Yeah its still a bad result

Local elections 2024: full council results for England

The main takeaway is that the Tories absolutely ate shit. They lost 156 councillors, leaving them with 157 - a colossal 50% decrease. Labour won 95 councillors, bringing their total up to 501.

My hatred for the Tories is enough to sustain me here. Labour under Starmer will almost definitely be awful for the left but I would like every Tory on this planet to die.

Also the subheading on this article is ridiculous. “Results from more than 100 English councils, as well as for several mayors, are announced. So far the Conservatives have lost control of some key councils, but have won the Tees Valley mayoral contest.” As if its like a 50/50 gain/loss for the Tories, even though, as far as I can tell, they’ve lost way, way more than they’ve gained. Who the fuck wrote this.

To be clear, results are still coming in. The numbers I said above have now changed

The Tories absolutely ate shit in the local elections in Britain. They lost 156 of their councillors, leaving them with 157. The biggest winner was Labour, who still suck, but I just hate the Tories so so much.

Yeah for sure. The story of Fallout 4 should have resolved before you ever thawed, or it shouldn’t have been happening. The Minutemen were destroyed but I guess no one filled the power void. (What even were the minutemen? A political entity? Did they have a presence in diamond city or goodneigbor? Who paid them? Did they extract taxes from farms? I guess we’ll never know). The Commonwealth is a place ravaged by Raiders who thoughtlessly kill and rob farmers, it’s basically a no-mans land warzone, but for some reason, people still live and farm and trade there. The railroad and institute have no interest in anything that doesn’t involve synths, but they’re both in a complete stalemate before the protagonist arrives for no reason. The world doesn’t need to literally progress without the protagonist present like in shadow of war or something, but the narrative should act like it will.

Bethesda is in love with this idea of the wasteland as a lawless wild-west with a million tiny factions and no states, even though it’s been two hundred years and political power solidified in the west over a century ago. They even destroyed the NCR in the show so they could have this

“We are not an authoritarian nation where we silence people or squash dissent,” Biden said. “… Peaceful protest is in the best tradition of how Americans respond to consequential issues.”

"But,”

Take yourself a little bit seriously Joe

We must assume that 95% of Skyrims population turned to banditry because Skyrim is a barren wasteland inhospitable to agriculture. They commit their acts of robbery by sitting around in abandoned forts and mines until someone decides to kill them

It should be so easy to make the enemies in Skyrim make sense. There’s a civil war going on, there can be deserter factions, mercenaries, hostile warbands, disparate ethnicities like the Forsworn, orcs and dark elves, and yes, bandits, but they should be opportunitistic thieves made up of people who can’t make a living because of the war and ex-soldiers, not the majority of the population.

Bandits and Raiders are just the laziest form of enemy. They’re people you only need to kill without having to engage with the story in any way, you don’t need to think about the factions or politics or their cultures or histories. Compare how New Vegas has distinct raider groups, like the fiends, powder gangers and khans, who are all a part of the story and immediately hostile factions. They can be both, but Bethesda just can’t write them like that.

Also the “Soviet-era” ended in the 90s, but the implication is always that it’s WW2 technology. The M16 should be called “Nixon-era” or some other nonsense

Okay so just to back up a little bit, WHY did Israel attack an Iranian embassy in the first place? What do they gain from escalating conflict at all?

West Africa seems suspiciously based this past year. What’s the catch where are the CIA

What are you talking about lmao, I haven’t answered any questions because you haven’t asked me any

Very interesting strategy you’re taking with your argument. Lying, getting called out on your lies, and then saying you don’t care is sure to make you look very smart

There are four letters in the headline of this article. Is that too many for you?
