#30 Heavy & Pyro: How could they be changed? in TF2 General Discussion

I don't know.

What I do know is that it's fundamentally not at all fun to just be popped in the air and robbed of your mobility, simply because the pyro right clicked vaguely near you.

Though I'm away that pyro is also frustrating to actually play.

I think playing him in midfield fundamentally misunderstands what the midfield is there to do.
Then again, England has often been guilty of that. It's like when Liverpool tried to convert Gerrard into a CM playmaker.

ibkfapsAdebisiHodgson should be lynched.
You are blaming the wrong person.
England in this tournament had the same problem as France in 2010 World Cup
They had the players but didn't have the team.
Also they lacked a "tough" striker

I aren't, he played Rooney in midfield, Sturridge on the wing and instructed Kane to take set pieces.

All very stupid decisions. The manager forges the team. Sturridge is far and away our most talented player and should have been up front.

The players of course take blame, but Hodgson is ultimately responsible.

#577 unpopular tf2 opinions in TF2 General Discussion
pine_beetleAdebisiBack to the demoman discussion, where does Kaidus rank? Out of interest.
He has all the skill and dm to be the best demo in the game. He questions his own world class talent and his teamates against adversity, which makes him choke in the bigger games. Ranking is hard to put him somewhere because he has the skill to be #1 but the confidence and killer instinct isn't there.

What makes you say that?

Some great demos, but I think the phrase 'mad skills' is really befitting of Kaidus. Can do crazy things. In terms of how he ranks, I couldn't say though.

#53 Opinions on this video in TF2 General Discussion

A mate of mine has been playing OW for a similar amount of time to CW and has high level comp experience and he's going off the game a bit for similar reasons.

Pretty obvious that Zenyatta's orbs are utter bollocks.

It's undeniable that immigrants compete for jobs with locals as well as things like housing for example.

I won't pretend to know much about the UK housing market, but didn't most major cities vote Remain, which are the places that would see the most competition for housing from immigrants? Is there a lack of housing in rural areas? Asking seriously here, because in Germany there's a ton of smaller towns bleeding out because of our aging society, which means there's loads of available housing in those parts of the country.

As far as jobs go, correct me if I'm wrong, but immigrants are usually far more likely to move to cities than the countryside, and UK unemployment maps don't seem to correspond to referendum votes in a way that is discernible to me. Besides, the current unemployment rate for the entire United Kingdom is 5.4%, which is as close to full employment as you're going to get anywhere in the foreseeable future. It doesn't sound like people are having much trouble finding work, least of all because it's being taken away by immigrants.

This is of course setting aside for a moment that the Leave camp is already talking about getting access to the shared EU market, which entails letting in all those scary Eastern Europeans anyway.

I haven't seen the city breakdown sorry mate. I know that in my city and the surrounding area, every single voting region voted for out.

With regards to unemployment figures, as said above, the it's a bit shady what they include here.
Also, it depends on where you live. London likely has very low unemployment (and is a huge proportion of our country population), but Northern cities have higher unemployment.

In my opinion it's okay right now, but people aren't just voting for how it is right now, this is years of anger I suppose.
I think forecasts are (before referendum) that the job market is going to get worse, but yeah it seems good to me right now anyway.

JarateKingAdebisiIt's undeniable that immigrants compete for jobs with locals as well as things like housing for example. If people are struggling in the face of this, who are we to condemn them for wanting to change it?Britain's housing prices have gone down in recent years (in a trend with much of the world admittedly, but with a higher price fall than most other countries) and so has the unemployment rate for those born in the UK.

The effect has either been functionally irrelevant to existing trends, or possibly actively positive for Britain on the whole. I can't speak on an individual level, but the numbers don't suggest this supposed struggle being widespread. It's just as likely that the void in unskilled labour being filled, and it's positive effects on the economy as a whole, is more than compensating for any increased competition.

Well yeah, we're coming off the back of a cataclysmic recession :D

As somebody who lives in a fairly poor Northern city, I know all too well that it absolutely is widespread. Thankfully I'm fortunate enough to live more comfortably.

Don't think it even reflects the game.

I think it was quite even for most of the game.

Hungary are seriously impressive.

They've played some really good football; smart, technical and at a good tempo. A breath of fresh air.

Portugal's midfield were very impressive against Croatia imo btw.

SideshowEmilioEstevez I really wish you guys would stop pretending like you even have an inkling of why the British people voted for what they did. Just because you read a few articles on the BBC and you watch Top Gear, that doesn't make you an expert on British culture. You really have no clue about the subject, you can't understand it from your dorm rooms in the USA.
Well thankfully I am from Britain, so I can have an opinion! And I'm from the poor areas of the north-east - I can fully agree with the ignorant yanks here. Every Leave voter I personally talked to from my area, spanning my generation, my parents', and my grandprarents', wanted to leave because of immigration issues and the cost of staying in the EU.

While a lot of them were perfectly happy to admit they had little knowledge of the wider economic effects of leaving the EU, one thing they all agreed on was that leaving would help us control our borders and that there were far too many people in Britain already.

Immigration was an enormous topic for the referendum, the single biggest from what I can gather both from talking to people and from reading news/opinions online. The people I talked with don't seem to know why they dislike immigrants, but they sure as hell dislike immigrants.

And I don't think they can be blamed for being concerned about immigration.

It's undeniable that immigrants compete for jobs with locals as well as things like housing for example. If people are struggling in the face of this, who are we to condemn them for wanting to change it?

I like foreigners more than Brits tbh, but uncontrolled mass immigration is an issue and it should have been addressed by our cowardly politicians a long time ago. Because it wasn't addressed, this has happened.

We're at the point of highest uncertainty.

I think this reaction in markets is natural and likely short-term.

No need for hysteria yet.

#40 So when do I cash in on pounds? in Off Topic

You can short sell them probably.

Borrow foreign currency, buy pounds, wait for the pound to rise, buy back foreign currency, give back same amount of foreign currency to lender.

Likely a temporary negative spike.

The real gain or pain (wahey) is yet to be seen.
