@bbcquestiontime @reformparty_uk So MPs should not answer questions from their own constituents, according to @BBC?
English
There is a longstanding policy on Question Time not to invite MPs on in their local constituencies unless it’s for a single-issue special programme. This is why Mike Tapp MP appeared on the panel in his constituency for the immigration special in Dover.

I seem to remember being on Question Time, a few months ago, in Dover…my constituency. You were too scared to even put a Reform MP up for tonight it seems. Weak.

@Republicplease @M4cron1te people want to throw the baby out with the bathwater and just label this as a failure of multiculturalism when it wasn’t.
English
Which one are you?
1. Mass immigration to Europe is bad because it's used to artifically lower wages and deprive Europeans of a job
Or
2. Mass immigration to Europe is bad because brown people

@Notabotlol7 @ves_tanka It's more like "Stop slapping puppies. Specifically the USA, USA you are evil and wrong for slapping puppies and you have to spend all your economy on stopping slapping puppies"
English
@ves_tanka Every UN Vote is likely a declaration to stop slapping puppies
US ->Puppy slapping banned -> Votes no inexpicably
Micronesia -> Votes no in deference to US
Europe -> Abstains to avoid fighting with US
China -> legal & accepted culture of puppy slapping , brags about yes vote

@LouiseCulmer1 @axiochrono @BradfemlyWalsh No but this isn't "maths class isn't mentioned in the books" this is we explicitly know Harry doesn't do maths: not even as an aside class
English
@axiochrono @BradfemlyWalsh Good. Mathis is boring. Nobody wants to read about anyone learning maths.
English
I mean, most people have the theory of mind that allows them to understand that people also do ordinary things in films and TV shows, even if you don't see it happening. Just like you don't see people having a shit in Harry Potter but the characters in their world clearly do.
Axio 🔶@axiochrono
One of the funniest things about Harry Potter worldbuilding is that there's no maths class at Hogwarts, so everyone in the wizarding world presumably has, at best, a Year 7's understanding of maths.

@Republicplease @MariGO2thepolls Ah, apologies, I should just make up shit based on pop culture stereotypes.
English
I think nitpicking Harry Potter is kinda cringe cope. It’s an obviously pretty good series but one thing was genuinely harmful when it came out id it’s romanticization of British boarding schools. A deeply evil institution. Iirc there was a markable optic in interest when the books came out.

@zedsamcat Now that I’m older & I realized that they most likely paid for this out of pocket, this made me appreciate teachers more as they are criminally underpaid.

110-year-old Turkish grandma shares her secret to a long life:
"Go to the 97 year old diner that serves coke the old fashioned way that was banned in Burkina Faso by Ibrahim Traore for not being an African value, but a Western degeneracy"
English
@MariGO2thepolls Do you have literally any evidence to support that because, as someone who boarded since the age of eight, that's news to me!

@ChazNuttycombe Too bad wikipedia editors are boring nerds

@brianonhere Truly puts it into perspective when you realize this guy ran for office and got like 12 votes

@RedPill_Marxism @SocialistMMA No mention of the much larger East African slave trade for example
English
@SocialistMMA How the fuck are there so many countries abstaining from this??? This resolution should have been a landslide (except Israhell ofc)
English
Russia voted yes to condemn the slavery of Africans
Ukraine and the entirety of Europe voted no
Now do you guys see why I’m rooting for Putin versus the nazis in NATO!?

Your favorite “Ukraine” Abstained Our struggles are different

@Republicplease @ShpadaIMithras @WA_MA_SoCon The british empire did way worse, the romans were born in a time where war and conquest were seen as divine, while the brits already had the bible yet engaged in cruelty
Without Rome europe would be third world
English
@alt_ccc Yeah but the less wealthy, less educated who've chosen to disengaged still live privileged and luxurious lives in the western world. It's a privilege that the wealthy have foregone, but it's still one nonetheless
English
“Not caring about politics is a luxury/reeks of privilege” kinda falls apart when you consider that literally every poll, survey, or study done on this topic concludes that wealthier, more educated people are significantly more likely to be politically engaged.

@LinkofSunshine Talked about this TODAY oh my God
I just think that (if I've got the premise right) so long as at least one person stays in omelas, the child will stay trapped. And there's always going to be people in Omelas, so yeah you might as well stay

PETA obviously isn't going to promote raping animals, you only entertain the idea because of your pre conceived biases about PETA Being bad
