I've been predicting for a while that by the end of the 2030s there will no longer be any climate change denial but it will also be too late to save swathes of humanity. I think the US knows this - it's not like they don't have huge science divisions and resources, but I think they believe they can mitigate the effects once population reduces worldwide and they can grab more of the planet.

It's such a random game really. Absolutely zero reason behind any of the theories they ever have. No idea why a copper or barrister would think they can read the game when it's literally random. They'd do better rolling dice to decide who to get rid of.

Reading that, isn't this autocratic regimes are opposed to it, and where democracy flourishes it wins elections? I.e. it's a threat to autocrats? That's not quite what you were trying to say using this.

Oh absolutely that can be the case I'm sure yes Though criticism of Islam is criticism of Islam, whereas criticism of a state isn't necessarily criticism of its people.

Understatement of the year award

The fact that any legitimate criticism of Israel also ends up being critisised as anti-semitism also doesn't help things. Criticising a state is legitimate. What isn't legitimate is making those criticisms about the ethnicity or beliefs of its people, or their right to exist etc. I see a lot of the former shouted down as anti-semitism, when it really isn't, simply to stop debate The actions of the nation state of Israel over decades is utterly abhorrent, illegal and shameful.

The club don't just have results to think about unfortunately. Regulatory compliance with PSR and keeping the club a going concern also feature quite highly on the list of management priorities.

Somebody in this thread talks an awful lot of nonsense don't they? 😅

What's the sizing like?

When their celebrity chefs begin recipes with canned soup (green bean casserole basically being green beans cooked in mushroom soup) or cake mixes that it boggles the mind.

Why did they need to immobilise the car? It was somebody annoying them, not somebody they were investigating. The in the video you just see the car and people outside, I haven't seen anything of the inside fortunately, that's not the sort of thing I would watch. It's more a video from mid range. And very obviously didn't need to be shooting into the car.

South west weather warning has just been upgraded to red with hurricane wind speeds expected 😬

Bear in mind these are ice agents, not police officers. They're there to pick up suspected foreign criminals. They were annoyed at her as she was blocking the road and all got out to tell her to get out of her car. Not sure if they have any legal jurisdiction. She drove off and one officer just quickly drew his gun and fired into the car, no real aiming, no time for thinking, he just killed her. Doesn't seem what ice are supposed to be doing. Also, a medic was nearby and the ice officers refused to let him see the woman, denying her any possibility of life, even though it was likely too late.

Never been there, do they not have just normal fruit, veg etc in supermarkets?

So couple of things said and done by the trump administration that I actually agree with: - trump has declared war on corporate landlordism and home ownership - RFK has changed food safety advice to say that whole foods etc should be eaten and that added sugar is bad. Very obviously correct and kinda amazing America is recognising it.

Personally, culture can't be measured. No culture is inherently better or worse, they're all just different. With western values you can look at some culture's treatment of women and complain, but you have to forget about our own historic treatment of women. Other cultures might point towards our economic system and willingness to treat the poor like scum (the way the homeless are treated or how benefit recipients are talked about). Our historic links to all sorts of bad things exist, we don't live in a bubble. Cultures are just different. You can't measure them. You look at other cultures through the lens of your own.

Wondered what TAA has been doing since he left Liverpool

I buy one team shirt a season, at the end of the season for £20, once I've decided which I like best. This year think it'll be the blue/green third kit as it's a bit different

Equally some are denying reality. It took less than 24hrs between your denial that America was threatening Greenland militarily, before America very publicly confirmed that it was threatening Greenland militarily.

It's not. You're pretending black and white exists where it doesn't. There is nuance. Both people have a point.

It is a bit bizarre that people can pass a test in a rural area with about three roads and then be expected to drive absolutely fine at night, in the rain, on a major motorway. A better plan for learning doesn't sound like a bad thing at all.

Interesting and fair point made I guess

Such a depressing list of has-beens anyway.

There's a sort of Americanisation on the right where you hear a lot about socialists/commies/libs/woke/snowflakes etc

This is probably fair. Reform and the Tories imitating reform (let alone labour imitating them at times) has taken over what we see in the media so the political conversation ATM does feel very all or nothing.
