@ItsRobbAllen So many times... "What idiot wrote this?" I check Git. 🤦‍♂️ "Well, I was six months younger back then."

As a software dev, I feel this. Something breaks and everyone is like "But Robb, you wrote the code!" and I'm like "Yeah, but that was this morning. Do you think I remember what I did?"

@KingBobIIV We also know every single one of the attackers is a gypsy, not a "Romanian".

We know every single one of these victims is a white British girl, because if it happened to a girl of any other ethnic group, there would be mass riots and Starmer would be putting out statements and handing out money.

@Legion681 @RadicalFalk > "with the same prize" Slow down and read more carefully. 😉

@3LandObserver @RadicalFalk I play the one with the highest pay out. The odds of winning it are so astronomical anyway and thus it's better to play the one whose jackpot will translate into generational wealth, if won.

As an American you'll never own a gun in Germany

@Legion681 @RadicalFalk If you can play a lottery with a one in a million chance of winning, or a lottery with a one in ten million chance of winning, with the same prize, which one are you going to play? Better odds are still better odds even if the odds are low in any case.

@3LandObserver @RadicalFalk I saw that. The chances of being in a mass shooting, seeing as one was relatively close to you once, are astronomically low. You might be a bit paranoid. I almost was caught in this one myself: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivera_ma…

@Legion681 @RadicalFalk > "Well, there was a mass shooting at city hall where I lived in the US, so..."

@3LandObserver @RadicalFalk Why would you say that.

@Legion681 @RadicalFalk Did you read all the words I wrote, or just half of them?

@3LandObserver @RadicalFalk In Switzerland, we have a shit load of guns and getting them it’s easy, and we never had a school shooting. I lived 12 years in the US and never, when I heard sirens, I thought “school shooting”. You might be a tad paranoid?

Do some searching on this judge. This kind of sentencing is par for the course from him. An enterprising journalist, if there's still such a thing in the world, should start digging.

The UK does not have a justice system. For the UK to have a justice system, two things would have to happen: - This sentence would need to be overturned and upgraded to significant jail time. - This judge himself would need to be removed from the bench.

@Capitalists1776 @RadicalFalk That wasn't the case in our mass shooting. In our case it was a black guy shooting a bunch of white people. 😐

@3LandObserver @RadicalFalk Most of the shootings are blacks shooting other blacks. We also used to have armed principals that could respond with semi autos. Now we have police that are told to stand down and let the shooting happen.

@ilithera It's a bad example. The real issue comes with *different* numbers. The equivalent in German of 525 is five hundred five-and-twenty. Every day is "Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie" day with German numbers.

bro how is fivehundredfiftyfivethousandfivehundredandfiftyfive better

@fuck_sweden @RadicalFalk There's a pretty obvious common thread there, and this is a choir you don't need to preach to. I fully agree that Germany's immigration policy has been foolish...and I say that as an immigrant myself, who however isn't part of the demographic causing the issues.

@3LandObserver @RadicalFalk No you're right. That's probably just some muslim driving a 2000 pound projectile hitting some christmas market visitors.. Or maybe a couple of hundred women being raped on NYE by muslims. Germany and Germans are totally safe without guns...

@MiniRetireMatt Strange artifacts on the receipt as well as extraordinarily consistently shaped numerals in the "handwritten" section, but oh, I'm sure it's nothing.

The guy who posted this on social media genuinely believed the $40 tip was appropriate Look at what was purchased!?! 6 people... A $40 tip on a $545.17 bill... Completely inappropriate At the very least each person should've chipped in $20 for the tip

@EdLatimore I think the point is that at a higher-end restaurant where the food and drink is more expensive, it's also expected that you receive better service: They employ more experienced and attentive waiters, and that's the justification for the tip ending up higher.

Tipping culture is...problematic. I'm not saying $40 on this is too little or just right. But let's be real for a second. Effort doesn’t scale linearly with the bill. On top of that, I shouldn't have to pay more because I purchased more. I think tips should be given but we've turned a courtesy into a requirement. And that has consequences in everything from how employers pay (or not pay) to how customers feel about their service. If they made tips mandatory, it turns into a service fee, and restaurant owners don't want that smoke with the IRS. No one wants that, but this shaming shit has got to stop.

@Alex47637335 @NickKristof What other countries besides Israel do you hate, and why?

@3LandObserver @NickKristof Doesn't israel worsen the problem most of all?

Readers offered questions and pushback about my investigation into sexual assaults against Palestinians by Israelis. So here are our answers: nytimes.com/2026/05/21/opi…

@JacobALinker @NickKristof Wow, Kristof was right. Even a stopped antisemitic clock...

Nicholas Kristof. July 9, 2015. "One of our worst traits in journalism is that when we have a narrative in our minds, we often plug in anecdotes that confirm it." Oh really @NickKristof? Is that so?

@bismuthuupa @edamamie I learned early on that between midnight and 6 a.m. there are almost zero trains. We don't stay out late in Basel because then we can't get back home except with expensive Swiss taxis or a very long walk.

@3LandObserver @edamamie do NOT do this for night trips, EVER. or rather, if you can, avoid night trips altogether. especially longer once. One mistake and they just stop for the night and you're stuck in some fuck-you Milchkanne-ass Dorf with 17 Villagers, unfit for 500 people looking for Hotels.

悪名高きクソDB(ドイツ鉄道)の実態 フランクフルト→デュッセルドルフの旅 ・急病人のため遅れが生じています ・30分後 キャンセルされました 窓口「1時間後のこれ乗るやで」 ・1時間後 キャンセルされました ・1時間後 これもキャンセルされるんじゃないかとドキドキするも電車がホームに来て一安心 「車両清掃中。搭乗はお待ちください」 、、、 、、、 、、、 ・30分後 キャンセルされました 次の電車調べたら乗り継ぎありだけど30分後に出発 → ホームを大移動(かなり混雑してたから席確保のためホームの1番奥までいってた😭) ・30分後 電車くるもなぜか車両は少なめ キャンセルされた2本分の人が殺到 ホーム1番奥の車両でもデッキにすら乗れない状況 「重量オーバーで発車できません。降りて下さい」 席を確保した一部乗客が立ち乗りの客に 「出発できないじゃないか！降りてくれ！」 とキレだし車内は最悪の空気(ちなみに一等車) ワイはもうこれ逃したら出張断念せざるを得ない状況だったのでとにかく車内で待機 → 諦めて降りた人の席を運良く確保 ・40分後 ようやく出発 11時半に駅に着いてから2本キャンセル、3本目も30分遅延し、結局駅で4時間待たされた🤮🤮 しかし話はこれで終わりではありません… ・10分後 次の駅(フランクフルト空港)に到着 ぞくぞくと乗客が乗車。 重量オーバー云々のさっきの光景が蘇る…((;ﾟДﾟ) 高速鉄道で10分後の駅で降りるやつなんておらんのやからスキップすりゃいいのにアホすぎやろDBー‼︎ ・20分後 なんとか発車(重量オーバーちゃうんかいw) そんなこんなで結局予定より約4時間ほど遅れてなんとか到着🫠 車で行けば2時間半。 高速鉄道なら1時間半で車内で仕事もできると思ってこっちにしたけど完全に選択ミスでした。 DBはやっぱあかん…😇

@liam43102 Do they show capacity warnings when booking, though? In Germany they show stuff like this so you can decide whether it's worth it to risk standing-room only.

For the one millionth time, you cannot “overbook” a train. We have a walk up railway. Think of it like a bus, not a plane. Passengers with flexible tickets pick their train. Seat reservations are free. If we had a reservation only railway, those standing wouldn’t be travelling.

@edamamie You learn, if time is sensitive, to take the second-to-last or third-to-last train to get somewhere, never the last train. Or ideally, if it's close enough, you take your bicycle so you're fully in control of when you leave and how long it takes.

@3LandObserver 😭😭😭

@MrsNickyClark I presume the judge sympathizes with them because he's as low-IQ as they are.

This story is so devastating to me. So it’s ADHD (formerly autism) & low IQ is it? They had had a high enough IQ to separate one of the girls from her phone/tracker,enough IQ to film it,enough IQ to post it enough IQ to stay calm & well behaved in court. I stand with the girls
