@Knox32450036 @CentreMetre @ZoomerHistorian The US is the only country to have ever invoked NATO Article 5 and your allies responded. The US is being a bad ally by consistently starting wars of aggression and asking for help. The US recently claimed allied territory Greenland. The US consistently aids NATO enemy Israel.

@CentreMetre @ZoomerHistorian Our request for assistance didn’t rely on whether you were useful or not. The request was about whether you were a good ally or not. And you failed

@fut_trader_D @_carson_72 Yep, in Scotland theyve been busy building cycle lanes and introducing ULEZ. Meanwhile nobody cycles because it's too cold and wet

@JPaaronm @_carson_72 It’s backwards and nonsensical, in central London it can work, but not where most people in the U.K. live. It’s just plain authoritarianism, BTEC China at this point.

Daft bastards do realise that, that’s only going to increase emissions. The exact opposite of what the greens are meant to stand for 😭

@fut_trader_D @_carson_72 I think these policies are intended to get people on bikes and public transport by making driving so painful that it becomes unappealing, rather than making bikes and public transport appealing. They hate cars and have an silly vision of everyone on bicycles, buses and trains.

@_carson_72 In a world where there’s enough idiots to fall for their lunatic policies, I’d be doing 55mph in 3rd gear just out of spite. It’s funny though, this is the first environmental policy I’ve seen from the ‘greens’ since they switched to leftist extremism.

@RogerOfBorg @MDC12345678 I think it's intentionally impossible, it's a way to stop people driving and get them onto public transport which is a leftist ideal. They hate cars.

@MDC12345678 We can't even keep up with the demand for one test every fifty years, let alone one every five.

Reducing speed limits to 55mph and forcing people to retake their driving test every 5 years would be an assault on autonomy and individual freedom. This isn’t about climate change, the environment or road safety (we have some of the safest roads in the world). Ultimately, Polanski and the Greens want to replace freedom as the organising principle of our society. It’s about the imposition, through social engineering, of a pre-modern vision for how people should live - one that denies the reality of trade-offs and plural values. It is a vision that Dale Vince is very clear about when he says in his book “Manifesto” that “modern life is the cause of so many problems”. The rise of this kind of idealised thinking in our politics - both left and right - is both regressive and very dangerous. The 20th century shows that we are playing with fire.

@GeeJayJon @roketronnie @cota12 No it isn't, carling is statistically the best-selling lager in england, unlike fosters in australia which isn't that popular. You're sounding like a craft beer/IPA fan...

@JPaaronm @roketronnie @cota12 I lived in England for 25 years, it's not the favourite just the same way fosters isn't the favourite in Australia. Youre listening to the marketing. Tennents like carling is mass produced cheap fizzy lager, they're both stinking

グラスゴーのGlasgow Central駅の雰囲気が個人的にとても気に入った。特にガード下は、居酒屋が並ぶ日本の駅にも通じる趣きがある。 1人で入ったパブでふと両親にグラスゴーに来ているとメッセージを送ると、父から返信が来た。仕事で何度も通った、思い出深い街だという。 当時はすでに造船所で栄えた街が衰退した後で、独特の寂しさがあったと。長くプレミアリーグのクラブの胸スポンサーでもあった大手電器メーカーのデザイナーだった父は、ヨーロッパ向けのTV生産の重要な拠点があったグラスゴーへ何度も足を運び、工場のまわりの羊と、夜に飲むスコッチウイスキーを楽しみにしていたという。 少し調べてみると、確かにこの街はかつて世界の造船量の25%を担うほどの産業都市として大いに栄え、その衰退後に雇用が激減すると、大手メーカーの工場などを誘致して街の復活を目指した時代があったらしい。当時の日本はバブル期。グラスゴーを象徴するTENNENT’Sビールも、高級ビールとして日本で販売され、CMまで流れていたとコメント欄で教えてもらった。その日本経済もその後停滞し、当のメーカーは各種スポンサーを降り、工場も閉じた。 街や物事には、栄衰の歴史がある。小さなことでも紡がれる話があると、思い出はぐっと深くなる。

@GeeJayJon @roketronnie @cota12 Didnt say it was brewed in sunderland, it's england's favourite. No pretending that tennents is amazing but it's well clear of the pish out a tap they call carling

@JPaaronm @roketronnie @cota12 Shows your lack of knowledge cunt, carling is brewed no where near sunderland and it's every bit as shite as tennents

@cnr_smth @jimbobthejetset @KentleighE @BasilTheGreat @DailyMail Everybody does 80 anyway only traffic police and cameras slow it down

@jimbobthejetset @KentleighE @BasilTheGreat @DailyMail Modern cars are, but modern drivers aren’t. State of the competency of some drivers would completely ruin a small 10mph increase :/

🚨NEW: The Green Party have made it their policy to reduce the national speed limit to 55mph and to reduce the speed limit in built up areas to 20mph [@DailyMail ]

@GeeJayJon @roketronnie @cota12 Some cunt from Sunderland talking about tramps, away and spunk over your shitey carling

@roketronnie @cota12 All that way to drink fizzy tramp piss?

@OperationRoboc1 @JiggerJ1 @ArgyleBecky He knows that, he said fair enough. But the point is that he should have more of a right to vote than some guy who arrived yesterday with no citizenship

@JiggerJ1 @ArgyleBecky Your choice to move hector

This is so wrong. What other countries allow this??

@Santillei_ @RomaEdson297463 @RealCernunnos @mimikkiki Just as those populations decided to leave, the population of the Falklands decided to be British. 99.8% in favour. Argentina's claim to the Falklands is no different than if they were to claim Uruguay. It is a claim of aggression, against the will of the inhabitants.

@JPaaronm @RomaEdson297463 @RealCernunnos @mimikkiki It is not the same the dismemberment of the United Provinces. It was Argentina so we had a claim to the whole vice royalty. The this is, uruguay, Paraguay, etc, they left coz their population decided so. In the malvinas, there were PEOPLE that were 🇦🇷 before the 1833 occupation

@Santillei_ @RomaEdson297463 @RealCernunnos @mimikkiki The United Provinces are not only Argentina. They claimed the entirety of the Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata. If Argentina uses this precedent, then they also claim Uruguay, Bolivia, Paraguay and part of Chile. United Provinces briefly illegally settled the Falklands.

@RomaEdson297463 @RealCernunnos @mimikkiki Because they belonged to the United Provinces of the South, that then renamed to "Argentine Confederation" and then to the "Argentine Republic"? Its not ridiculous, its history

@LesNew5 @peterktodd Who lives in skid row?

@peterktodd So with every warning you just did the opposite and expected a different outcome? Its like going to skid row in downtown LA against everyones warnings but then expecting rainbows and sprinkles.

In South Africa I went on a hike in Cape Town to a beautiful lookout, Signal Hill. At the top there was a wine tasting. I then walked down a trail that goes by a military base, to a rich suburb. I was very seriously warned by a local, wealthy, brown-skinned man that multiple hikers had been murdered for their wallets and that I should take a taxi home. Sure enough, when I passed by the military base some black men who clearly didn't belong there were watching me from rooftops. So I got out of there as quickly as possible. At the bottom I continued to walk to my quite nice hotel... and got followed for multiple blocks by a physically aggressive black panhandler who wouldn't take no for an answer. Following that I went on another hike, up Table Mountain under the gondola. Again, it's a highly developed tourist destination. And again, multiple locals warned me that I really shouldn't go alone because there was a good chance I'd be mugged, or worse. Hell, there's official signs up warning hikers to hike in groups of at least three (four if they're women). Following that I visited Johannesburg. Or at least, I would have. Except a South African friend of mine who lives near there said I really shouldn't go to the downtown area by myself least I get murdered. So I skipped that and did more hiking. Again with warnings that travelling solo was a bad idea. ...and don't get me started about how that trip, I saw more rolling power outages in peacetime South Africa then I did at my next destination, wartime Kyiv, while Russia was actively trying to destroy the electricity grid. When I was recently in Kramatorsk, Eastern Ukraine, I had half a day off. So I asked a soldier friend of mine where I could safely walk. He said I could go anywhere safely: military checkpoints would keep me from going too far east. Russians might kill you (just the other day a 13 year old boy was killed by a Russian attack on a market). But even after over a decade of war and poverty the locals won't. And yes, even in Kramatorsk you see young teen girls, by themselves, walking around at night. You do _not_ see that in Cape Town. The problem with Africa isn't just "underdeveloped parts". The problem is the stupid, violent, black population who make even the developed parts shit.

We have now reached the zenith of things that James Tavernier can be blamed for

@majesticbanana @AlrxCox Rubbish. Haven't met a single pensioner or middle aged person who hasnt been to tenerife 30 times.

@AlrxCox House prices reflect affordability. Low interest rates today make prices higher. Double incomes make prices higher. There are other differences today, such as people wanting to have it all (nice cars, eating out, holidays) that back in the day, we'd forego to afford a house.

The triple lock is honestly one of the worst policies ever thought of. Many of the people who say the benefits bill is too high are the ones making up 48% of it. That’s £150.7 billion so people who had the easiest housing ladder, the best savings rates and the best private pension rates can get a bigger pension than they ever paid in for. It’s a joke of a policy and I wholeheartedly disagree with it.

@THemingford @twill_94 @andyecfc @dannyswfc1867 You're absolutely right. Time for layoffs and let's enshitify our product to reduce costs. Now we will have fat margins and can rake in the money. Well done on being a textbook capitalist sir. If they raise minimum wage we will layoff and enshitify even harder!

@twill_94 @andyecfc @dannyswfc1867 If margins are that tight, it's not a viable business at all.

£12.71. What a joke. Needs to be £23 per hour minimum. Absolute minimum.

@DanFriedman81 America gladly used nukes in WW2 when there was no retaliation risk, and the goal was simply to force Japan's surrender and intimidate the Soviet Union. They weren't so interested in ideological spread. It sent a clear message and made America appear invincible.

@DanFriedman81 Nuking cities leaves you with nothing valuable to conquer, isn't a very convincing way to prevent the spread of communism, and of course would spark a counter attack from the Soviet Union. There was nothing noble in not using nukes, it just wasn't feasible to do so.

The atomic bomb changed the way nations conducted war. Powerful nations held back because they did not want to risk engaging in conflicts where these horrors could occur. The Soviets lost a war to an inferior force in Afghanistan and America lost in Vietnam, because neither superpower was willing to escalate in ways that could risk direct conflict between them. The limits and rules powerful nations placed on themselves — the concept of “war crimes” and the “rules based international order” were created to prevent catastrophic wars and have held up since then. But those rules will not remain the rules if inferior forces start droning Americans. These people mistake our restraint for weakness and literally don’t understand that the only reason a country like Iran can survive a war with with us is our self-imposed limits on the horrors we inflict on our enemies. And if they do something bad enough, those limits won’t be there anymore.

@Bochumbrew @andyjameshicks @luro1909 Travelodge is much better value than premier inn if you pick a newer one, but yeah some old travelodges are grim. Not all premier inns are in great shape either though

@andyjameshicks @luro1909 I have had truly horrible Traveldoges, especially in big cities. If it's a new built no difference. But travelodge has a lot of rancid old buildings tha are rotted with mold or broken. Worst I had at PI was bad Management now knowing the difference between twin and double rooms

17. juni 2028 pub tour in birmingham ich gucke nordmazedonien gegen norwegen im villa park danach mit korma curry und schweren hirnschäden im travelodge zimmer einpennen leben hat wieder einen sinn

@RareRare1797363 @santos141100 Move out of america problem solved

@santos141100 Not even, Everytime I try to see a movie, even an ok poopy one, there is someone ALWAYS making quick commentary after every scene and it drives me insane. Like no one wants to hear you talk, this is the last place where I wanna hear your voice

Me acuerdo ese sentimiento de ir al cine a los 8 años sabiendo que, durante todo el día, no ibas a vivir una mayor explosión de estímulos y experiencias que en esas dos horas. Hoy, en cambio, el cine es el único lugar en el que sucede una pausa de la sobreestimulación del mundo.
