@Underdog147 I once backed 6 of the 8 runners in a random race with B365 because they were paying 4 places. Only the 2 horses I didn’t back finished.

I thought eating an Easter egg for breakfast at 5am was going to be the low point of the day; until I backed 12 horses each way in the National and got one placed.

@Underdog147 Agree. I’ve never liked them. I suspect the human version of a dolphin would be a smug unbearable person also.

Dolphins up there too, sadistic killers and rapists of the ocean.

Bears have got the best PR operation going. Paddington, Pooh, Yogi, Baloo, etc. They're all cuddly and fun, aren't they? No. A real bear will rip your face off without a second thought

@green_client Agree, Trump has it sussed as a teetotaller and soft drink consumer… of all the huge amounts plastic that isn’t necessary, straws are zero of that, and at a microscopic proportion anyway
English
Best executive order of all time, I'm 100% on board. paper straws are just shit and it's taken a proven diet coke man to make things right 🫶

@GuillemLieaDay @NickMiller79 True, but I there isn’t quite the same contradiction in other cases. Criticising teaching of the Church isn’t seen as a form of racism in the same way criticism of Islam is perceived. All religions have arbitrary and nonsensical views, only some you are obliged to accept.

A grim irony to the people responding to this by saying “well done to him for having his own mind, not just following groupthink” when he’s doing this for…religious reasons.

Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy chose not to wear a rainbow armband during Saturday’s defeat to Nottingham Forest due to his religious beliefs. The 33-year-old midfielder was the only captain in the Premier League not wearing a rainbow armband across Rainbow Laces weekend, an initiative run by the English top flight in partnership with LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall to promote equality, diversity and LGBTQ+ acceptance. Morsy, capped by Egypt nine times, is a practicing Muslim, and Ipswich said they respected their midfielder’s decision. 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/59628…

@GuillemLieaDay @NickMiller79 It’s a completely unresolved paradox of modern culture/politics… Islamophobia is bad….. but traditional Islamic teachings say homosexuality is a grave crime. Same with status of women in Islam.
English
@NickMiller79 Millions of people, of all faiths, do not agree with homosexuality / regard it as a sin etc etc. I'm not one of them, but we are relentlessly told we must respect religious beliefs. Which is it?

@Underdog147 Yeah.. he wouldn’t have done too well betting on the darts during the Phil the power years
English
You're doing betting wrong if you're worried about "aligning yourself with the worst instincts of humanity"

Rory Stewart’s apology tour after pledging to bet £100,000 on a Kamala victory gets more unhinged by the minute. He now says: “I think I was wrong because I’m an optimist and I hate the idea of being right pessimistically. I think you can be a false prophet and right.” 🤡 🌍

Some of the replies to this are incredible

Helen Mirren says she feels “sad” that Kurt Cobain is no longer alive because he never got the chance to experience GPS and its “magical” functionality. “I always say, it’s so sad that Kurt Cobain died when he did, because he never saw GPS,” Mirren said. “GPS is the most wonderful thing, to watch my little blue spot walking down the street. I just find it completely magical and unbelievable.” Read more here: variety.com/2024/music/new…

@green_client Yeah this was my reaction.. it’s just so incredibly insulting to black people. The third point is also beyond belief on that front. Who is being bought by this stuff vs who is being outraged (black and white) and yes surely this isn’t good policy on even that level.
English
@LukeWebb82 *lol* at the last bullet point. Why not zero taxes on fried chicken while you’re at it.
More seriously can the delta from black male turnout really be high enough to be worth all the indepedents it will annoy?!
English
It’s incredibly hard to believe that this is real, I couldn’t believe it was and had to check it was her actual official account.
Kamala Harris@KamalaHarris
Black men deserve a president who cares about making their lives better.

@Underdog147 I don’t think it’s fake but what just mystifies me is how they could have possibly gone there over 50 years ago but no one has been since…
English
The one conspiracy theory I think is probably true.

“Look at the footage it looks ridiculous” Joe Rogan discusses the 1969 Moon Landing from 55 years ago. Once you can accept this level of human deceit the rest is easy.
