I'm not entirely convinced he's dead or comatose yet.

Didn't this exact same thing happen a few years ago?

bf5 wasnt it

i liked bf1 but i actually miss the "modern warfare" of bf4
Ground War in the new Modern Warfare is a poor man's Battlefield 4. I miss that game so much.

It's still there lads, and not just in spirit.

PS4 and PC still have servers since BFV and BF1 didn't do a great job.

Well if the leaked report is anything to go by, Labour truly is fucked.

Jesus christ man, these arseholes ruined it for everyone. Why not just join the Tories if they insist on pushing right wing policies, at this rate their the only ones implementing anything.

Where are the screengrabs from the report from? I can't find a link on the guardian article to read myself.

Never forget after this forum was made because of how shitty Bungie.next was, their forum mods made user polls about this site asking if people liked it more.
Sounds about right. The Narcissism on that website is equal to that of Sapphire members except slightly less overtly toxic.

And less culty.

Hillary would have blamed guns and starting rounding up people.

Instead we have Trump blaming mental illnesses and rounding up people.

How refreshing.

I'll keep it nice n simple.

- You're the biggest joke, so thanks for this
- Aren't you fucking Armenian? So "Fuck you, I got mine" it is then for healthcare.
- You got any examples of 'remote criticism of pride month'? Genuine.
- Youtube is a piece of shit, and it isn't your soapbox
- Trump has likely not been around enough to generate you 2 jobs, unless you're a contractor building the wall and a nuclear engineer in Saudi Arabia. If anything, he's done fuckall on changing America's course in policy and you were going to be a slave to 2 jobs getting slightly better pay so you would ignore the lack of having 1 well paying job in the first place...
- Hateraid fucking rofl
- Falling for the violent video games bait. No shit, it isn't games, clued-in politicians are using it as a scapegoat to sidestep the US's massive guns problem.
- You flipflop from "if we don't love enough we'll have a second civil war" to "I need guns for the upcoming apocalypse". Alright Doomer.
- You're right about "it" being fucked within the next decade, but for entirely the opposite reasons.
- Jesus Christ you over-dramatic vitamin-deficienct dumbfuck, America is far from NK or the Soviet Union where they actually removed people. You've got other problems but you drank the koolaid.
- Gays don't just have pride month mate, it's for lesbians and trans and all them too. If you're still struggling, think of it as Independence Day, but for people who are born some way rather than from somewhere. You celebrate liberation from a tyrannical force, gays celebrate not being lynched or oppressed as much as 50 years ago. Who'da thought?

And fucking hell do you have to use so many empty idioms and cliched phrases, it reads like a paranoid depressed footballer's interview.

Space obviously. Doesn't space mess with something in your DNA as well that makes you age slower while up there?

Space doesn't do shit to your DNA. Gamma radiation does though, and that's just basic cancer risk which is increased in space because you're more exposed in a tin can with no atmosphere around to absorb it.

Relativistic speeds make you appear to live longer, but it's negligible (like, <1s difference for the time you'd be up there). You'd live 1s longer than someone who never went to orbit at speeds several thousand kilometres faster than usual, but to you it wouldn't make a difference, you'd still live and die at a normal age.

An analogy to this would be if light was bouncing between two mirrors in a tube. Shove that tube on a car, and if it drove around you very fast the "beam" of light would bounce in a zigzag rather than up and down if it was stationary("I" vs "V"). Because going diagonal takes more distance, it would essentially take longer to go up and down, but on the car you'd just see the beam going up and down like normal.

is it just me or a crew?

As close to reality as possible (without you being able to leave obvs).

So for space, iirc they shift the crews every 3 months or so, so for your time you'd meet a grand total of 6-8 with 3 or 4 a time.

For a sub, Wikipedia says 150 people, about 30 of those are officers and specialists, the rest are "sub-grunts". I don't know how often they rotate so just assume you're "stuck" with those 150 for the duration.

6 months, either in the darkest depths of the ocean in a submarine, or in upper Earth orbit in the ISS.

Which, why/why both fucking suck?

The similarities;

- Cramped conditions
- Instant death on the other side of the walls
- Limited human contact (AFAIK both have some connection for the internet so shit-sub/space-posting on 4chan would be possible but limited).
- Living without your usual comforts (living space aside, no TV, not much storage space for books, clothes, restricted diets, can't go for a run or get "fresh air")
- You need to be highly trained to operate or be assigned to them (for this scenario just assume you know how to run a sub or a spacestation, or all that would be sorted by everyone else on board).
- Besides this 6 month restriction, it takes a while to get back to civilisation, up or down, and across a bit.

The differences;

- Being surrounded by highly compressed water (not that water is compressible, but that only means a rupture would get that pressure transferred to you and force you to the size of a peanut) vs being surrounded by a vacuum strong enough to boil your blood and burst your lungs. Neither pretty.
- You get a pretty view in space. Ocean floors are virtually deserts apart from the scattered wrecks and "islands" of life around carcasses and volcanic vents, and I'm not sure conventional subs have windows. Periscope?
- Flying at thousands of kilometres an hour vs I dunno, a few knots underwater.
- Following and creating a bit of a juxtoposition from my last point, in space you can't go anywhere because it's so vast, even if you weren't going around in orbit. In a sub you can "go" places that can be interesting.
- Experiencing virtual Zero-g vs the ol' 9.8m/s^2 everyday, and all the problems associated (or not) in dealing with that.
- No sun can penetrate deep underwater to the point it's pitch black and you'll return a vitamin D deficient pale fuck, vs too much exposure that you have an increased risk of cancer when you get back. Nice.

So, what'll it be?

I can make Soda Bread, millionaire shortbread, flapjacks, and a few pasta bakes.

I have a book for stuff like bug roasts but I haven't needed to go that far with my cooking skills, and my gf already beats me making lamb or pork bakes with veg.

You should write a book about your fucked up life.

Diary of a Supertramp already exists.

Except that was before the existence of most drugs and the dick-suck economy, so it was by and large a success.
