@residentadviser I remember reading after the party and it does seem that blair was paradoxically a tyrant within the party but also trapped in their ideological ideas he clearly didn’t believe.
English
Reading much of what he’s saying and he’s clearly closed in policy prescription to the Tory Party than even some notionally on Labour right. But it’s interesting. Some of what he’s saying is true. A lot of the analysis. But others just reheated Blair.

He’ll be 100% calling for a Tory-Labour ‘grand coalition’ at some point in the 2030s 💀🤣

is there anything that indicates valyrian steel is better in any way than other metals other than its status as a scarcity?

my favorite "first bookism" in asoiaf has to be Catelyn managing to stop valyrian steel with her bare hands mama is just built like that

@TheCheeseMan96 @st_louis_stan @sadgirlyboss Sure but i assume you wouldn’t also wouldn’t be accepting invites to their apartments either
English
@st_louis_stan @sadgirlyboss I'd be disappointed if a woman I was dating wanted to hook up.
English
The concept of getting invited over to a girl's place BY HER after a date and it dawning on you that you're not getting laid as she slaps a water bottle into your hand and sends you on your way
sgb@sadgirlyboss
i hate the “you need to get a girl into your place” bit because it implies sex. it’s not true. i’ve had guys over to my apartment after a date. we have a convo on my couch, i give him a bottle of water before he drives home, he walks me to my door. apartment doesn’t mean sex.

One time an old man wanted a cashier's check for $5000. The teller brought him to my desk, and I asked him what the money as for. I noticed he only had around $6k in his savings account, and not much in his checking.
"I won Publishers Clearinghouse, and I need to send them this money to claim the prize."
He pulled the letter he received out of his pocket and showed it to me. The print was crooked, had misspellings, and looked like it was photocopied.
"Sir," I said, "this is not a legitimate letter. This is a scam. I highly suggest that you do not send these people your money."
"Its not a scam," he replied. "I want that check now."
I pulled up the Publishers Clearinghouse website and showed him where it said "we will never ask you to send us money to claim a prize."
I showed him how the letter was asking him to send money to an apartment in New York, not some PO Box. He refused to believe it.
I went got the branch manager to speak with him. He got aggravated, looked me in the eye and said "Young man, you give me my money right now."
Not much else I could do at that point. We cut the check and he went on his way.
I contacted our security department and let them know what happened, just in case things went sideways.
The kicker is months later that same old bastard came into the branch and yelled at me for not stopping him from sending those people his money. I guess he never got that prize.

Despite the well-accounted and undisputed fact that Hitler had piercing blue eyes, eyes which impressed themselves upon people meeting him for the first time in such a way as to cause a near hypnotic fear, every teacher I have ever heard discuss him has reiterated this falsity.

@goodbyeleninxcx @samkn3n The issue is there isn’t much to revive, as we’re exported our culture so successfully no one recognises as ours lol. “Reclaim” might be a better word but then that just causes more controversy
English
@samkn3n u guys gotta revive more english culture though please, everyone just thinks its gammons screaming racial abuse, and the many many good things get ignored. (Scran, Music, Arts, History, etc)
English
@wesomest Yes. Hell Stalin told European communists parties not to form coalitions with social democrats because they were red fascists (a cheeky bit of projection from the red tsar)
English
@nonregemesse I never got why they constantly shat on him. Like his biggest failing is basically being one of the few great lords to genuinely believe he has a social contact with his peasants to protect them. Also, the context of this scene is he loved his dad and drank the night before

@SimonHarrisMBD All the other nonsense you spout aside i can tell you from very personal experience chinese bacon is nothing like british bacon. Also being the first to make something doesn’t mean everyone copied them. China had a game similar to football but the modern sport aint based on iy

It always makes me laugh when I see Lee Anderson using a bacon sandwich to declare his Britishness to the whole world.

Bacon - Ancient China 🇨🇳

@Hayess5178 @NoFilterSkin You know the term when shit its the fan? Yeh….
English
@NoFilterSkin Attach fan to window. Kills any bugs trying to get in. Also fresh cool air through the night blowing in.
English
How to sleep during a UK heatwave:
Open the window (invites 400 moths).
Turn on the fan (just blows hot air around).
Remove all sheets.
Accept that sleep is a concept from a past life.
Just wait for the 5:00 AM birds to mock you.

Dealing with a falling population will require the elderly accepting a lower quality of life than they expected. This will be difficult to do because a falling population will also make them the electoral majority.

@LauraRbnsn If anything the lack of supervision was probably part of the high crime rate. Like my mum told me stories from 80s and its like 50/50 she’s describes a crime
English
It never stops cracking me up when people ask "why aren't kids unsupervised today like they were in the 1980s?" and older people answer "well, there was just hardly any crime then!"
There was *so much more crime* in the 1980s, you guys. You were just kids and no one told you.

@ParkSlopeFlngsm @woke8yearold London is subsidising every other region, creating a weak tax base which makes it hard to invest, regulations making that investment expensive and an aging population. The EU was covering the cracks, allowing successive governments to ignore. brexit pulled the bandaid off
English
@woke8yearold I’d love to know what actually went wrong with the UK. How do you have one of the world financial centers and have no growth
English
Europe never really recovered from the financial crisis. Growth never really returned to countries like the UK. People should honestly talk about it more than they do.

@constans No i think its both want something eccentric, in the past women were the sensible “normal” types and men the eccentrics as women weee penalised more. Now men are now penalised more for eccentricity so now women are the more eccentric ones
English
This isn’t quite it. It’s that men want a woman who’s more eccentric than they are, and women are not attracted to men who are more eccentric than they are because it seems risky
The problem for men is that right wingers are crazy & weird so women are rightfully turned off.
Carlos That Notices Things@QuetzalPhoenix
Reminder: Deep down a lot of right wingers want a left wing artsy gf and a lot of left wingers want a right wing business bf. I see it constantly. It is because these are complimentary/attractive PERSONALITY types But because they are politicized... Modernity is truly cruel!

@alsemancher_ @Seb__flyte1 Yeh so wealthy he wrote about how he lost her virginity to his maid

Hate when people simplify Latin American politics like this. In Peru, fascism-lite’s perennial candidates are Japanese, and its Maoist insurgency was led by a white philosophy professor. In Mexico, the lefty last election was a Jewish woman and the right winger was named Xochitl.

Foul, morally repellent and sadistically inhumane. If the prospect of your opponents dying fills you with this much ghoulish relish, then rejoining the human race should be a more pressing concern than rejoining the EU.

@0moyeh I would actually argue men prefer intelligent women, hence why these a trope of a woman telling her man to not do an obviously stupid thing
English
If men truly h8ted intelligent women, female doctors, lawyers and professors wouldn’t be getting married daily.
The real issue is that many women confuse arrogance and combative behavior with intelligence.
Naza🎀@Juxtmarvel
i feel men are more tolerant of an intellectually inferior partner than women. if a man is intelligent, he goes for pretty dumb girls bc he can't stand a girl being equal or smarter than him. men just love feeling superior.
