this is interesting got into a debate with someone that actually thinks it's good for the UK to leave the EU

But first a question, did the EU have strict regulations that chokes small businesses as well as hurting buisnesses that did trading with countries across the world with these regualtions that benefited only large greedy corporations in the EU that did not want to have competitionand and adapt. Also did the EU passed a law that in which the people have no say in, only rich bureacrats that reap the benefits from these laws while the common person suffers.

I'm not sure about it but how to comment on that as I'm no part EU and all federation of malaysia

The EU exists largely to promote trade and travel amongst member nations. More importantly though the UK has historically always been kind of uncooperative with the EU, retaining the pound instead of adopting the euro for instance, so it's not as if the EU can actually force anything on members. Any regulative issues the UK has were just a product of dealing with bone headed protectionists I imagine, and leaving the EU will arguably only make dealing with them harder. The UK has bigger fish to fry than economic consequences though, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and even Gibraltar were all VERY against leaving the EU as all of them benefited from it quite dramatically, and by dragging them out of the EU England has soured internal politics in the UK and some are saying that more independence referendums are inevitable.
I will admit however that my outside perspective may be misguided or even flat out wrong, but I don't have time to research the matter right now.

It looks so pleased with itself when it gets back onto its legs after falling down.
Also the end with the tug of war... THEY'RE LEARNING-oh it fell down.

Just in case you didn't see.

Um... What? What exactly are you trying to get me to see here?
The hotbar? I hate it, and I've been posting almost nonstop in the comments thread of that dev post since it came out, trying to get it replaced with my idea, which I revived from the depths of 2015 for that sole purpose.
The dogs? Yus! Dawgs! But yeah, I check the Starbound Blog almost daily so I can see their progress.
Anybody else see that scientists suspect they have found evidence of primordial black holes. In other words they think it could be big for our understanding of what dark matter is thanks to the implications of a black hole that predates any known stars.

You're really bad at puzzles, aren't you.  I missed ONE K and you can't understand it?
Welp. The decision to split the UK from the EU was split not just among the borders of the UK's countries, but also by age.
The elderly overwhelmingly voted to leave.
The young overwhelmingly voted to stay.
And the young are the ones who will mostly be dealing with the consequences, naturally.
Alas, I thought the previous generations had just about finished messing up the newer ones.

Edit: And of course Trump supported Britain's decision. That's an obvious sign you've made a mistake, when Trump agrees.

Don't forget the old PM trying to cut and run so a new one has to manage the fallout.

That part I can actually understand, in a way: The ultimate "welp, I'm outta here."
Of course he doesn't want his name all over what could spell the breakup of the UK and a potential collapse of their economy, especially since he's basically required to sign the deal regardless of his thoughts on it. That said, I do feel very sorry for the next PM... It's a lose-lose either way, really.
I have an... Interesting idea.

It involves actually forging metals, using the Sun.
i had a brief dream of modding jakkai into stardew valley

that dream was crushed when i realized i couldn't expand the area hairstyles had, meaning i couldn't do the ears.

So TIL that Scotland is the second largest economy in the UK, has the 4th most valuable currency in the world (Pound Stirling), the 3rd largest reserve currency in the world, and is an industrial hub for the continent.

So England REALLY fucked itself here.

[Image: F6AC3240A084091F38586C11810724EFB3124183]
Battlezone is a Cold War sci-fi game that is as much a product of the Cold War as it is about the Cold War. In Battlezone the US and USSR aren't duking it out with nukes on earth because they have secret hyper advanced armies duking it out across the solar system...somehow. Anyways you pick your side, strap into your hover tank, and embark on a bizarrely engaging FPS/RTS hybrid adventure, setting up bases at predetermined viable points using mobile structures, harvesting scrap metal from destroyed enemies to bolster your ranks, and occasionally catapulting much needed supplies to wherever you need them.

Flying a hovertank is actually every bit as complicated as you might expect, though you lack much in the way of vertical agility, however if you're bad and get blown up, you can rest easy knowing that all modern hovercraft are equipped with a handy ejection system and a lightly armored cockpit, and that all pilots are issued a sniper rifle, so once you land again, you can punch right through the cockpit of somebody else and steal their craft. On the RTS side of things you have a recycler that is your resource dropoff point, constructs most basic units, and is generally the heart of your operation, a factory that builds advanced vehicles, an armory that builds weapons and catapults them at you, and a constructor that sets up more permanent structures. Commands are issued via a numpad menu, and are about as unwieldy as any FPS/RTS will inevitably be.
The game has an actually robust list of vehicles, missile tanks, battle tanks, light tanks, bombers, fighters, APCs, artillery pieces, turrets, walkers, and a modest list of weapons for them all to use, of course the downside to that being that you can equip your missile tank with an AT gun, chaingun, and earthquake gun (yes that is a thing in battlezone) and then no missiles, but oh well. Each vehicle has unique dimensions, a custom cockpit, all are pilotable, and most have different capabilities.

My only complaint right now is that my initial tenure with Battlezone was in an N64 port...with the infamous N64 controller, so not only is adjusting to the mouse and keyboard new, the PC version also appears substantially more difficult, or maybe it's just because I haven't gotten back into the habit of strafing yet.
Battlezone 98 Redux is thus a very compelling revisit for fans, and in my opinion the game itself is mechanically compelling enough that it's worth a look even for new users.

Basically the UK right now.

Jesus 2016 has been a mess.

Never been a day where I'm happier to have moved to Australia.

My DM wants to start a new campaign, except we all have to make religious characters.
At first I wanted to make a really obnoxiously evangelist bard of the god of music, but there is only a god of song and poetry and I refuse to involve poetry in my shenanigans.
Then I decided to just be an asshole and pick something that lets me roll Eldritch Knight and smite motherfuckers, but I don't wanna run a CE character, especially one who will be kind of obligated to just be a murderhobo.
gods are fickle. And may enjoy trolls of their own religion for the sake of testing others in the same. This lets you run loopholes for some gods and piss off all the other members while remaining at the heart loyal as you test to see who the truest believers are... No I do not have personal experience why would you ask that.
