Music (everything good), football (lcfc), politics (socialism) and boobs. Proportions vary based on drunkenness || I can resist anything except temptation
"Anyone claiming there is no anti-Semitism in the Labour Party is wrong. Of course there is, as there is throughout society, and sometimes it is voiced by people who think of themselves as on the left.
Jewish members of our party and the wider community were right...
The deli argument is complete madness because this is literally exactly how McDonald's drive thru works.
The perfect analogy was right there! So close. But you'd have to completely switch your argument, I guess.
You’re standing in a long line at the deli. A guy walks in behind you, shifts to your left to walk next to the line and slides in front of the guy several people ahead of you. An urban planner reminds you that really is the most efficient way of managing a line.
Another police thug in the Netherlands beating up a pregnant woman just because he feels like it.
Cops like this need to go straight to jail, they are criminals in uniforms.
@joeroganhq In general, American sports lean more towards hyper-specialist skills and extreme athleticism. You can be the #1 lineman and yet not be able to catch a cold. Most other sports require you to be reasonably good at all aspects, even if there are specialisms within the sport.
@joeroganhq To be a world class soccer player you need to understand the game in a way that just isn't possible unless you've been playing your whole life.
Whereas, NFL - if you've got the talent/ability you could realistically learn most positions to an elite standard in a couple of years
@robprogressive Nobody thinks good landlords shouldn't make a modest return but the current situation is completely unsustainable.
Expecting a 10+% return on basically THE lowest risk investment is insane, and that is before you consider the enormous and practically guaranteed capital gain.
Tony Blair thinks the answer to this country’s problems is AI, welfare cuts and endless spending on war.
Who benefits? Arms companies and tech billionaires.
Once again, Blair is wrong. The answer is a redistribution of wealth and power and the relentless search for peace.
@anon_opin I love a cigar. They're one of the few things that make me feel grateful to live in this modern world, a good cigar can almost make the ceaseless pressure of next month's rent and the subsequent enslavement to an insatiable corporate machine seem worth it somehow.
Billy Allison, the original founder of Raise the Colours, has been charged with murder and grievous bodily harm with intent after a man was badly beaten in a bar in Lichfield on Sunday. The victim died in hospital yesterday from his injuries.
He's due to appear in court today.
@alicem3x I was a daily ADHD cannabis user up until my 20s but I don't touch it at all anymore.
I started to get overwhelming anxiety anytime I got high (I think because my intoxicated brain is too slow to 'mask' confidently and I couldn't be certain what others are thinking 🤷♂️)
@KnaryFeathers@JillFilipovic I should also stipulate that the time it takes is irrelevant. Time stops whilst you do it. Nobody has an std or any other complicating factor you can think of.
It's just a straight question about sacrifice for what matters to you.
@KnaryFeathers@JillFilipovic Would you suck 4 billion cocks to save your family? Assuming that this was the end of the matter and your family would exist in the nirvana of your imagination...
@KnaryFeathers@JillFilipovic Who said it was in water? You invented those parameters.
The beauty of a hypothetical question is that the context is ambiguous and entirely unnecessary.
You need to strip away your prejudices of reality in order to properly consider the question.
@ColinBest1978@jeftovic He's clearly very talented and would surely excel in anything he turned his hand to. Good for him, though I don't envy his life, even despite the money.
Personally, success is measured in far less tangible riches.
