Thanks a lot for the in-depth answer :)
- Comment on I've been playing 'Ruby's Rebalanced HALO: CE' mod and it is fantastic. 2 weeks ago:
I really don’t get the hate for the Library. It’s one of my favourite levels in CE. The Flood are a creepy and scary new enemy (on the first play-through at least…) who back you into a corner and attack relentlessly. You’re left fighting for your life with no way to retreat or charge past. It’s one of the rare times in the whole series where you’re forced to play defensively.
It’s also the level that introduces rocket launcher flood, wtf is up with them? So unfair that the enemies get such a good weapon!

Perfect answer, thank you. I was specifically asking about names from a shared language.
- Comment on Why do people call it “woke”? 3 weeks ago:
I like to remind myself of the quote about anti-Semites (which applies more broadly to fascists in general, and more broadly still to some on the political right): they don’t believe what they are saying because words and truth aren’t important them. As long as the right people are being protected and the wrong people are being hurt, that’s all that’s important.
Never believe that anti‐Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti‐Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.

- Comment on DOJ Deletes Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing 4 weeks ago:
Even without the science, it’s just so obvious. The core of the left is, “we should care for everyone,” while the core of the right is, “the in-group (racial, financial, religious, whatever) is superior and everyone else is inferior”. Which of those ideologies is going to produce better, kinder people?

£100,000 over 30 years at 4.5% would be £506 a month. That plus the stipulated £25,000 deposit will get you a bungalow or terraced house near me as of about 18 months ago. Rent in my area starts at around £700 for a house outside of town or a single room in town.
So yes, £500 mortgage is possible. Rent being twice the cost of a mortgage for a similar property is fairly common. Banks and landlords being shitheads is guaranteed.

- Comment on Man carrying home his gardening tools arrested by armed police in Manchester 2 months ago:
No, I don’t really know either. I’m not really sure why I shared my opinion to be honest!
- Comment on Man carrying home his gardening tools arrested by armed police in Manchester 2 months ago:
Rowe said he was interviewed without legal representation as officers had been unable to reach a solicitor, and after spending several hours in custody he said he accepted a caution so he would be released.
He was stopped at 12:20pm, it’s not like everyone had gone home for the day. What’s he supposed to do at that point? He’s already been waiting “several hours”, it’s not like there’s gonna be more solicitors working after five o’clock. It sucks, but being able to go home and fight it afterwards seems like the best option. Especially with national news coverage on your side
- Comment on Man carrying home his gardening tools arrested by armed police in Manchester 2 months ago:
When he was arrested, Rowe said, the officer pulled the trowel out of its sheath, and said: “That’s not a garden tool.”
[Aussie accent] “That’s not a garden tool. This is a garden tool!”

The most insane thing to me in this article is that it will apparently take 12-18 months to make these changes (no 2nd class post on Saturday and every other Tuesday / Thursday). How does it take a year and a half to figure out how to do less work?
