Whilst I see where you’re coming from, is there literally anything for Google to gain by being a stick in the mud over the issue? It’ll probably get changed back in a few years time.
I wasn’t making a comment regarding Germany or Russia specifically.
I was saying that if there is a choice between an honest cunt and a deceitful cunt then the honest cunt is going to appear rather appealing to some people.
It’s not ridiculous, it’s an inevitable consequence of decades worth of a widening equality gap and declining social mobility.
that cartoon with two sheep looking at a poster of a wolf saying “I will eat you”, and one of them saying to the other “he tells it like it is!”
I unironically get the appeal when the poster for the last however many years was a sheep saying “I won’t eat you!”, and then turned out to be a wolf that ate you anyway.
Exactly, and a lot of people find it hard to swallow, but we should absolutely want the best and most able people as our MPs, not just the people who were born in to wealth and have nothing better to do.
That means if a great scientists, doctors, business men, engineers etc etc need to be tempted to become MPs rather than take private sectors roles, then they should be. To me this means the salary must be very attractive and I’m fine with this also meaning “no second jobs”.
Inb4: “yh, but being an MP has prestige, it’s worth more than money!!!”.
How many people do you know that do a job for the prestige of it? How many banks accept prestige for their mortgage repayments? Money is the bottom line and if you want more talent and less Jacob Rees Mogg, you have to pay for it.
First, worldnews?
Second, it’s just a casual greeting, in the UK it’s just a slightly more polite and formal way of saying hello. If I said “good morning” to someone and got that reply, I wouldn’t say anything but I would wonder what’s wrong with them.
Happens to me if I’m in an area of bad signal. It’s like the post sends but you never get a sent receipt so it just keeps sending.
It’s pretty funny tbh, I’m waaaay too politically fatigued to get bent out of shape over things like that.

I’ve lived in the UK my whole life and I’ve never heard of this. I’m going to have to ask for a source because it really does sound like an urban myth.
I understand your point but that’s unfortunately it’s the difference between ideal and reality.
Soldiers aren’t there for making moral decisions, they’re there to follow orders.
Sad but true.
I don’t think that not wanting enshittification of Cadbury’s mean you have a “really cool and deep personality”.
It’s not about hating popular things, it’s about hating shrinkflation. I for one would happily pay a little more rather than have the products I love become so shit that I don’t want to buy them anyway, which is the only real power you have as a consumer.
Cream eggs are case in point. Not only are they smaller now, but the ingredients are shitter quality and it shows.
Something tells me that’s wishful thinking.
If the US economy tanks, that will have knock on effects around the world. It’s by far the world’s largest economy and pretty much anyone with any investments at all is going to be invested in the US.
And Trump, whilst very deserving of much of the criticism put forth, will absolutely put America first.
Japan had huge success with hybrid cars and this caused them to put to many eggs in one basket and delay development of electric vehicles.
I heard a while ago that a very well connected person (the sort of person that doesn’t need to work and could spend all their free time maintaining family relations and friendships) would really only be able to maintain family relations and friendships with about two hundred people. The sort of people that say “I have 1000 friends on Facebook” are talking complete bollocks, there’s a huge difference between a relationship/friendship and an acquaintance that you haven’t talked to for fifteen years. The average person truly knows many less people than this, usually in the low dozens.
Using your figures and assuming that these relationships are 50/50 male/female, even these very well connected people would statistically still know less than one injured soldier and have less than a 1/3 chance of personally knowing someone that was killed.
I know this comment assumes and extrapolates quite a bit and the idea is somewhat of a tangent from the original comment, but I think it’s quite interesting.
You are entitled to your opinion.
I’d argue that KIA implies that they were on the front lines, but once again that’s semantics.
I think the vast majority understands the meaning of the headline and aren’t overly concerned with the dictionary definition of murder.
I used a population of 143,000,000 divided by an estimated death toll in Ukraine of 70,000 and assumed half of the russian population is female.
1 in 100 might be correct if you only consider men of a fighting age.
Right. The S and P 500 went down 0.5% yesterday, it’s a pretty typical trading day and still up over the last five days, month, six months and the year.
Trumps a lunatic, but one thing he does understand is business.
