I learnt that over a decade ago.

Don’t buy a Ubisoft, EA, or frankly any big publisher game.

Oh no!

Anyway…

Pugilistic - TIL a new word!

No worries. What I’d give to shoot the person that came up with the FPTP voting system…

I feel like you took my comment to be a critique of the EU’s position, which is not what I was trying to say at all.

I presume that such an agreement would be in the EUs interest - hence the expression of such. Public clarification at this stage of the ‘cost’- as you put it - is a great way to take it off the official policy booklet. Which doesn’t make sense to me.

I am aware that UK politics is stupid. I live here.

If the move would be of interest to the EU, then unless they are completely politically inept, can these officials not see how saying it would require ECJ oversight before an election risks it being eliminated from Labour policy?

It gives a free attack point for the Tories and couldn’t be a bigger face palm - for anyone actually interested in it, of course.

But don’t you see how doomerism contributes to the problem?

Evil triumphs when good people do nothing, but there are more good people than evil.

The trouble is, evil is great at rallying evil and demoralising good. That’s why we have to fight back.

Positive change is possible if we work together.

Stop. Please stop. Doomerism compounds the problem, it is not a neutral stance.

Has irreparable damage already been done? Yes.

Will it be worse if we don’t do anything as soon as possible? Yes. And each moment that we don’t do the thing, it gets a little bit worse.

But each moment we do do the thing, it gets a little bit better.

The Earth will relatively be 1.5°, likely 2°C hotter, regardless of what actions are now taken. But 2°C hotter is far, far preferable to 4°C.

Everything we do as individuals and societies matters. I understand it feels daunting, and I’m not really advocating for you to drive less or eat less meat, because ultimately these changes won’t be driven by individuals making the choices.

However, please please please support and push, protest, fight for societal changes for us collectively to drive less, eat less meat, and corporate carbon taxation.

Let’s compare it with adult pornography. Does the consumption of adult pornography remove the desire to have sex with another adult in the long term? Or does it reinforce the sexually desirable characteristics of adults?

They won’t. The police exist to protect the interests of the state, so as long as the state doesn’t give a shit and continues to pay sufficient renumeration to those willing to exercise unjust power over their fellows then… yeah.

B.A.N.N.E.D.

No, they don’t know buddy, ha. It’s meant to be a non-serious rule for a non-serious community.

I don’t know if my reading comprehension is poor or the Independent managed to write everything but what Scholz said (in both this article and the self-referenced article within)…

Can someone please clarify? What intelligence did Scholz apparently breach?

The Beeb.

Leans Left.

Uh…

I think you’re overstating the significance of those edits and comments.

How so?

Yesterday when I saw your reply it and the other one criticising the person I replied to were at a positive vote score, and my comment itself had about 20 to 30 positive votes.

Now your comment and mine have dropped by about 20 votes each, without any further lemming comment.

A bit suspicious…

You mean the paid awards in September they just got rid of because Fuck Users?

I’m not a US citizen so please could you explain this line of reasoning to me?

Trump was the person that recognised Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, despite absolutely no need to. I haven’t heard of anything that suggests he wouldn’t support Israel wholeheartedly.

So in a choice that is Biden Vs Trump. Why is Biden the worse choice?

Now don’t get me wrong, as a Brit I know how much of a curse FPTP is - but it’s a pipe dream to think a 3rd party candidate hae a chance of winning in this situation, surely?

So what’s the logic of these kinds of posts? If you don’t vote for Biden, won’t you just end up with something worse?

Pretty sure I saw someone’s comment earlier saying one ‘Polish’ farmer-protestor was on a list of Russian agents.

Surprised this was made public so soon to be honest.
