Tbh I expect France to win it but I was thinking last night that I've been really impressed with Morocco and I genuinely think they have a chance to surprise everyone. They're really good.

No. Sorry miquel but no. You just need a decent shape serrated knife and it'll go through soreen without squashing it

I think this is a copy of something china has come in a desert within it's borders

Typically about ten days after I sold mine

We've treated him awfully since signing him. Yes he's had injuries but he's never been played even when he's been fit. And sent out on loan. Could have been really useful but who could blame him for wanting out?

It's alright, we're winning the world cup again

As normal for England, you need to watch him at his club. He's fantastic at real Madrid. One of Madrid's best players which kinda speaks for itself

Definitely the worst back line we've ever put out in the nearly 40 years I've been watching Kane and Bellingham our only real quality

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. No.

Only discovered recently that the stinky stuff they spread on fields to help grow things that I always assumed was cow manure - it's treated human waste 85% of the time 🤢

I'm really not sure about the models of ai monetisation that are starting to be employed. Microsoft internally was using Claude and anthropic's work as it's better than their own. But racked up huge bills via tokens. Now Microsoft are trying to monetise ai use through tokens. Tbh I reckon the best majority of people don't really know how to get the best from ai. At the moment, it seems to me that it has huge potential but current models won't find that potential, as it's too hard to use well for ordinary people. And if it can't be easily used well, nobody will want to pay for it. So I wouldn't be surprised to see early attempts to monetise ai fail, potentially causing a loss of confidence amongst investors and a bit of a crack on stock markets. Now this is just my musings, none of this came from anywhere else and I might be talking absolute nonsense, but I do wonder whether we are really at the cusp of an ai takeover of industries, or whether we are just theorising about one still.

It would be a great move for him if true.

Ridiculous. Nobody is offended by these things, no idea why the overreaction. On another point though I can't stand the me FIFA/FC series since it became walking FIFA Street.

Honestly, the idea individuals make that much difference is a bit of a misnomer. It requires changes at government policy and national infrastructure level. The fossil fuel car ban has been politicised. Net zero politicised. End of oil licensing politicised. Anybody with half a brain knows what the right thing is but there's an entire industry devoted to lying to the populace so big government decisions that will affect profit margins and shareholder value don't get taken.

You didn't. I answered your question. Then I added my own thoughts. That's what happens in an internet forum.

My counter to that would be that parties on the right are currently adopting BNP policies. They are far right policies. What's your reason for saying it's unjustified?

A climate report detailing changes needed was published in may and criticised successive governments for their failures here. It goes without saying that I suspect we'll see more action from labour than the climate change deniers (and I include feined belief that we can continue to drill for fossil l fuels as part of denialism) currently leading reform and the Tories.

Things are moving so quickly. This last five years have seen all sorts of anomalies and records across the globe. It's starting to get pretty scary when you think this is just the start.

Temperatures in the Antarctic climbed above 15C this month, shattering the previous winter heat record for the usually frozen region and raising concerns about the speed of climate breakdown. The new winter peak temperature was logged by the Argentinian Esperanza base on the Trinity peninsula on 6 June amid a protracted heatwave, when the maximum daily temperature exceeded zero degrees for three consecutive weeks. Scientists said the high of 15.4C broke the previous record set at the same station in 1998 by 2C. “This is absolutely crazy,” said Raúl Cordero, an Ecuadorian climate professor at the University of Groningen. “It is also about 20C above normal for this time of the year. That is a huge anomaly.” Unusually strong warm winds from the north blew across much of the Antarctic peninsula. One Chilean weather station, Boonen Rivera, registered temperatures of close to 13C, Cordero said. On King George Island, 100 miles (160km) from Esperanza, researchers said the landscape had changed from mostly white to brown, grey and green after temperatures hit 4.6C on 6 June. “Last weekend was very strange. The temperatures here went very high so everything outside melted,” said Luis Muñoz, a Chilean glaciologist. “Usually there is 20cm of snow and a lot of ice on the ground at this time.” Muñoz said he and a colleague, Natalia Mestre, climbed to the 500-metre peak of the nearby Collins glacier last Wednesday and were surprised to find rain melting the ice. “There was a direct impact on the glacier, which should be receiving snow now. It should not be suffering ablation at this time of the year. This is obviously not good for the glacier.” The Antarctic region is coming under increasing human pressure, directly in the form of resource exploration and tourism and indirectly through the burning of fossil fuels, which is heating the planet. Scientists warn that some of the region’s biggest glaciers, such as Thwaites and Pine Island, are approaching or may even have passed a tipping point that could push up global sea levels by four metres. Antarctic ice melt has also been found to slow global ocean circulation. Cordero said a single winter of heatwaves, no matter how amazing, would not by itself make a huge difference to sea levels, but it signified more alarming long-term trends. “This heatwave happened because of extremely strong westerlies,” he said. “This has been happening with increasing frequency since the 1980s, and that is known to be related to climate change.”

God this is going to be such a depressing window

We've had how many years to prepare places like hospitals and schools but absolutely nothing has happened.

Yeah I get you, I got banned for giving an opinion on reforms level of racism. It's my opinion. There was no argument. It isn't illegal to think what I think. It got me banned. It's very meh

I don't know, I'm pretty left of centre and I can't post on the other thread any more. (All of us) Need to find a way to talk without doing whatever it is that gets us banned, I suppose (all of us should) make the conversation more factual and honest, rather than having a little dig at the other side.

Why do you two never come up with some arguments that are rationale and true? It's all laughing emojis, pick one thing then move to another or, as with Kenny here, be internally disingenuous. We lost approx 6% of gdp due to Brexit. So that's a drop and then we continue on growth, but it's still permanently 6% less than it would have been. That's £120bn each and every year. Why not come up with an honest explanation of why that doesn't matter if it doesn't? Instead we just get nonsense posts.

They didn't introduce these laws.
