Gandhi just has a very advanced understanding of pacifism whereby the truest peace is in the annihilation of the human race.

OwlFancier posted:Gandhi just has a very advanced understanding of pacifism whereby the truest peace is in the annihilation of the human race. Yeah, that's actually pretty much what happened in the early Civilisations. His natural downward modified to AI aggression plus his preferred form of government (which also reduces aggression) broke the scale and meant that he looped all the way round to maximum aggression and started bathing the world in nuclear hellfire. They kept actual, deliberate variations on the same basic concept in later games because it was funny as gently caress.

Yeah wasn't the initial problem a signed/unsigned integer problem where it put him into negative aggressiveness which if you read it without the signing bit is actually maximum possible aggressiveness? And yeah he remains nuke happy in later games, and yes it's hilarious. Gandhi will spend the whole game chewing you out for not being peaceful while not pursuing wars himself until he gets nuclear weaponry at which point he will start blowing the poo poo out of everything he can with no provocation.

Guavanaut posted:Unless everyone dies fairly instantly, in which case that's close to morally neutral as there's nobody left behind to grieve. It could even be viewed as a net moral good, since over the course of the following centuries it overall prevents more deaths.  No more ashes! No more sackcloth! And an arm band made of black cloth Will some day nevermore adorn a sleeve! For if the bomb that drops on you Gets your friends and neighbors too, There’ll be nobody left behind to grieve!

ShaneMacGowansTeeth posted:The only good nukes are the ones you drop on France, or maybe India, in Civ 4 I may have related this anecdote before, but one of my fondest Civ 4 memories (And I have a lot) is carpet-nuking Isabella. Crazy zealot had given me grief all game long so she got her just desserts. Let me be clear (:torysay:) that by 'carpet-nuking' I don't mean I spammed a lot of nukes at her, or that I simply nuked every city she had, or something else so underwhelming. No, I built over 130 nukes and launched one in a single turn at every tile she owned. I had a few spare so Madrid got hit like seven times.

More pay for firefighters, police and nurses being voted down with help from the DUP would be so hard for the Tories to spin positively and would look very, very bad.

nopantsjack posted:Isn't an aircraft carrier just an insanely expensive floating target for drones though? A few pages back unfortunately because this thread likes to really move when I'm not looking thanks to timezones. My understanding just due to what I have was told by people who I trusted back in the day is that surface vessels are basically just targets to subs, let alone a drone attack. (those weren't really a thing we talked about at the time, just thought of them as remote controlled planes back then) Captain Fargle posted:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40423052 Excellent.

Yankees go home imho that oval office Oliver letwin was on today talking about how labour opposing the public sector pay freeze was just party politics and that people should be more concerned about the services themselves which are "starting to be strained" as though the last 7 years never happened and the two are completely unconnected he also tried explaining the relationship between taxation spending and borrowing to the presenter like she was an idiot because they're laying the groundwork for tax increases on p much everyone apart from "what Jeremy Corby would call the super rich" also he said that austerity was just a political catchphrase Christ what an arsehole

Is it just embarrassment or are there other consequences? It means that the government is unable to command a majority in the House of Commons, and pre FTPA it would have forced another election. Now it's much more uncertain - there's a decent writeup here: https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/blog/queen-speech-and-fixed-term-parliaments-act

What is with this recent trend of politicians demanding that other politicians stop politicising things? It's like their backs are against the wall and they have no options left to justify anything they do, so they just demand that their opponents stop opposing them. It plays nicely with the 'why don't these people stop arguing all the time and just sort things out' crowd too.
