While the government tries to squeeze asylum seekers into London hotels, you can actually pay a small fortune to stay in a London themed hotel, complete with David Beckham themed rooms. https://twitter.com/cnn/status/1661647054886535168?s=46&t=m_nNbkNoHG4lLitcpyHReg

The Question IRL posted:Given all the effect Brexit has had on Northern Ireland, Brexit has not been "nothing really happened. Everyone is really okay."' Like it has massively shook up the while region. This is the "balls to the wall" part I mentioned. Considering they're the "Conservative and Unionist" Party their sheer abandonment of Northern Ireland is only not shocking because you can never trust a tory.

Why are robots (or robot suits) always shown with flared trousers (let alone the muscle-bound gym bodies)? Eg ^^^ spice suits above Optimus prime  Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 15:00 on Jun 6, 2023 |

(The design comes from Shirow but it proved extraordinarily difficult to get s piece of original art from the artist that didn't have a scantily clad woman erupting from the robot).

Should be used to that from too many science fiction convention art shows. Why is it that women can fight clad only in a pointy bra, g-string and high-heeled, thigh-high leather boots while men need all that armour.

Jedit posted:That's what Putin said, though. TBF, even Bellingcat (which is very pro-Ukrainian) is starting to put out threads going 'oh hey there sure are a lot of neo-Nazis at the core of these much-hyped military operations'. One of the guys running the anti-Putin border insurgency, for instance, sells the Christchurch manifesto in his online store ands seems to be fighting Russia because he doesn't think it's racist enough.

Jedit posted:The Imperium is explicitly fascist, they probably stole the stance from the Tories. So an important thing to remember about Warhammer 40K (where the models are from) is that it was a game created in the 1980's in England, and like Judge Dredd, it is sort of supposed to be satire. That part often gets overlooked, but occasionally, it has a bit of absurdist humour to it. Like most people don't realize that one of the big Ork's in the setting is called Ghazghkull l Thraka or to give him his full name Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. Which if you say it outloud, is Margaret Thatcher. And every so often you run into a comedy thing in this game that became a super serious IP when it started making a company money hand over fist and you have to sort of square this circle. I still think they try and do it every so often, like when the Welfare Primarch, Lion El Johnson, came back and he sort of looks like a fighting mad version of Jeremy Corbynn.

They mostly seem to be keen on getting themselves killed by fighting the nationalists on the Russian side, so I can't be too mad about it. e: Maybe arrest the worst ones after or something.

So you get dominatrix nuns in titty armour but it's still roughly the amount of protection on most tanks.
