@CCL Everyone building their own PC gets my approval, and yea, it's a real bitch for your back.

So is reading and playing EU4.

My back must think I'm Hitler ;_;

Just don't do what I did and don't be too brutal to your CPU. I miss my first i5 >.>

I'm not even sure how to go too brutal on it D:

Mandatory rebuilding or just an upgrade?

First time not laptop thing D:

Always just got laptops because they were more convenient and I never had any money so couldn't get a decent PC to go with it.

@ ChocolateCakeLover

Come here for a sec and let me give you a massage ;)

I don't trust that wink D:

Getting the right parts for a perfect PC is hard. Putting it together is quite easy the way I see it...
Had to take mine apart recently after it suddenly stopped working. Now it's doing fine again (^_^)b

Are you building a new gaming PC...?

Finding the parts weren't too hard because I made someone else do it, putting it together is being a bitch because I could only get someone to do half of it :P

I am D:

My back hurts, building a PC is hard ;_;

@ ChocolateCakeLover

I'm all for UBI!!!!!!!!
Best idea I've ever heard!!!!
I mean, how great would that be? Never having to worry about paying your bills again! (Unless you really overdo things...) That would be perfect! Because that's what you do most of the time when you're an adult: paying bills... t(-__-t)
I hope we'll get to that at some point... rather sooner than later...

The trick I'm using to avoid bills is living with my grandparents; not that an 18 year old from the midlands precariat has any options to live elsewhere.

Well... google it every so often... it get's me quite hopeful :o

The only reason I gave the great JC a chance was because I saw his shadow chancellor (and actual ally rather than right wing shadow-tory) and later the man himself came out saying they were discussing adding a UBI to their platform.

Never less than speed 5 :D

Neveeerrrrrrrrrr

Well if I'm against a decent opponent I'll want at least a small fire/shock advantage because I'm awful at war and min maxing and crap. Too lazy.

Whoa D: Nervous D:

Siege suh gud, fire suh gud (eventually), shock suh gud, manoeuvre suh... okay in some circumstance.

What o.o

How are you going to use them what D:

You think you've got pronunciation bad? I can't remember the last time I heard someone pronounce aitch properly, without the huh. That includes English teachers D:

At least my two manoeuvre means I don't take that river crossing :'D

Save all the quotes you want, always nice to inflate my ego 8D

Screw Soviets ;_;

Funny considering he played Poland didn't he?

Noooooo, Arumba you were going to continue Mexicooooooo ;_;

You slept for an hour? o.o

That must feel horrible D:

All the chocolate cake /o/

It doesn't surprise because just as EUIV is a form of self harm, so it following politics.

I think, at best, that you can say some humans need to work a job just to be doing something, but that it is a goal of human advancement that it becomes a persons liberty to freely control their time, however they find most fulfilling.

And the red tape jobs can be replaced by better jobs that aren't quite so... pointless.

Edit: love some of the comments on that video complaining about great comedy like that couldn't be written anymore because of political correctness, and then failing to come up with a reason anything in the video is politically incorrect.

There are arguments the a UBI can actually help the budgets of some nations with clunky wealthfare systems by koncking out all the red tape :o

There are no prestigious British papers. They're best summed up here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGscoaUWW2M&ab_channel=BBCWorldwide

http://www.wepsite.de/Newspapers(1),readership.htm there are a couple more there and in the comments "The News of the World is read by people who listen to the phones of the people that run the country" xD

Agh, your post changed D:

May has... a mixed record on LGBT rights. :/

And when she's on side, I think it's more a "we can't screw black people, gay people or whatever else people, but that's okay because most of them are poor, and as conservatives, we're always going to fuck those".

I'll admit I'm probably biased in Corbyn's favour, but then, that's coming from someone who just a couple of months ago, before the coup fiasco, didn't even like him and made bad "oh he's old, with luck he won't make it to the next election" jokes. Hope that's the last time I but media bollocks :/

UBI is the future :o

Universal Basic Income is basically a guaranteed lump sum paid to everyone regardless of anything. It allows a minimally accepted quality of life in the face of increasing automation and will allow people the time to pursue careers that actually interest them.

Whoa :o

Poland so good :o

With luck the Parliament can into space >_>

Edit: Just saw, one of Labour's wealthy donors, who's Jewish, wrote an article criticising Corbyn's Nazi Stormtroopers. In the Daily Mail. the paper notorious for it's support of Fascism in the 40's. You couldn't make it up :/

@ChocolateCakeLover Sounds like you won't be voting conservative party next election :P At the very least you don't have the tossers from BNP rulling.

I'll be voting the great JC!

Jeremy Corbyn (What, someone else with those initials? ;)) all goes well. If not... I don't want to vote for a right wing Labour government under Smith, nor for not all that left Lib Dems so I guess I'd have to go Green. I respect John McDonnel and Corbyn for being open to the idea, but Caroline Lucas is vocally supporting a UBI, which is one of my main concerns policy wise.

It's horribly when a party chooses high government positions based on loyalty and not actual competence.

So you don't hold Theresa May's government in high esteem? If it makes you feel any better, look at my message 2 posts ago.

Not really. The left wing rhetoric was nice when she assumed office, but when one of your first acts is renewing trident it doesn't mean much.

Well, people just don't know what "liberal" and "conservative" mean.

Well, I do remember there was someone in this thread complaining about Dave Cameron, you should talk to them. You could get along well.

Already talk to myself thanks ;)

Thanks! To be honest, I don't either :D Well, looks like we can stall our rivalry for a while :P

Maybe it is, but I'm slowly gaining up the powerbase. You are slowly being defeated.

Come at meh Ulm >:D

@Ciega, well, our Donald Trump is in office, at least you have a chance to keep him out.

Ah Britain, a land where you £2,000,000 goes into policing freedom of speech over someone telling an MP to "get in the sea" and the MP whinging it was a death threat despite being not even close to a death threat and her colleague saying the literal same thing on twitter a couple of months back, and then the same party that MP is from can commit fraud on it's members, get away with it in part thanks to a judge who's made something to the tune of £500,000 off the party, force the ones who bought up the fraud in court to pay for legal damages, and then have the gall to say "now don't bully us back we know what you're like" to the party leader and his supporters.

And these aren't even the guys who made Boris fucking Johson the Foreign Secretary and Jeremy fucking Hunt the Health Secretary. I never thought I could miss dodgy fucking Dave and "Gideon" Osborne.

Worse still, at least neither of these parties are lead by a man who claims to be liberal but refused three times in an interview to say that being gay isn't a sin, or are just... UKIP.

Sorry for politics rant, I'm pretty pissed right now >_>

Congrats Galich :o

I get cagey about telling people when I like a book or band or something, I have no idea how you managed to tell any of your friends something like that xD

EDIT: 400 still a long way off me >:D

Galich I forgot to complain about your pic changing D:

@ ChocolateCakeLover

It usually takes them a few months to come back.
But up till now they've always returned! Unfortunately... ^^

That's right, you don't argue... You just outsmart people and render them speechless (^_-)b
I need to work on my own CCL style a little harder... Still a long way to go for me...

.>:D

But up until now they've always returned sounds like how Blackkitty and Galich feels whenever I comment in the thread...

@CCL B.. but theocracies will be even more useless now! I miss battlepopes :(

Now it got me hyped for that DLC. Wish that they'd catch up in the HOI4 department tho.

How's that Arumba series going?

RIP Battlepopes ;_;

I don't give a crap about theocracies tho, if you didn't want a regency, it was better to go republic anyway :/

It's going... Not great D:

Formatting so awkward for >:D face >_>

@ ChocolateCakeLover

Oh, a pokèmon... it's been a while that I played one of those games... ^^

Maybe I'll actually do it – with the “outfit” that Old Fart has suggested – and try to throw myself at her, the next time she shows up ;)
Would be funny at least ^^

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

That wasn't a weak argument! It was a CCL kinda argument! And those are never weak! (╯‵Д′)╯

What you saying D:

Wait no read wrong...

Wait no what D:

I don't argue ;_;

She definitively need to get laid... >>

Harumin your sister needs you :D

I'm pulling a CCL here:

A what D:

@ ChocolateCakeLover

See? That's what I meant! You're hilarious! (^_^)b
That's what I love about you!

Nuh ;_;

What's Helix anyway? ^^ The TV show?

The Twitch Plays Pokemon meme D:

I wish I had the power to convert them!
But the talking one really seems happy – if I managed to convert her, she'd probably get depressed ;)

Maybe I should try hitting on her ^^ I'm sure she'd never show up again after that (^_^)b

Do it do it do it :D

Do any of you guys know those “Jehovah's Witnesses” folks...?

I'm starting to believe that they're really after me. Every time they make their round in my area they always come back to me... No matter how many times I tell them that I don't plan to join...
One of the ladies – the one doing the talking - is so nice and sweet that I just can't manage to tell her to please fuck off already. So I'm being polite but it's really not working... HELP! ^^”

I can be pretty nasty when someone gets insolent but I can't be like that when someone seems genuinely nice... T_T

You have to out crazy them D:

Convert them to Helix D:

Convert them to... CCLism? D:

@ ChocolateCakeLover

Not really what I'm expecting ^^
So I'll definitely go and see for myself! (^_-)v

And I'm really sorry! But it seems like the performance art I posted totally scared Galich away for good ;)

Oh well, I can find other people to git hype with D:

Lonely what D:

Quite the laugh o.o

Galich! Galich! Galich! D:

Dev Diary hype D:

such hype D:

After so long... the hype...

I thought it was way better than the critics said :o

Definitely worth watching if you're not apparently expecting The Godfather part II

Gaming wise, the entertainment of the multiplayer isn't from one player it's from the interaction. The multi thing is sad yeah, but I never play multi anyway.

Getting seemingly near the end of the first Ottoman war, he's done a great job of making the best of a bad situation. Makes me realise how crap I am at the game xD

Tac-team I can go without, I really miss his DLC-ly Mathas, NL and Quill multiplayer :( Arumba was a lot better than them, except maaaybe Quill, but even then, I'd say Arumba is a tier above, but they were all so entertaining. Where else do you see someone surrender at 100% war score after a long fought battle...

I usually go into way worse debt than that early on in campaigns, and later on when I realise I've barely built any buildings and I might as well take some loans and spam manufactories because who the hell can stop me after 1700?
