Thanks for the concise translation.

The comment was talking about things being Orwellian. Is it not Orwellian to have police killing many, many civilians?

Where are the horse exoskeletons for horses that fall and get injured in completely unnecessary horse races?

You are 66 times more likely to be killed by a police officer if you are in the US compared to in the UK.

All you’re doing by commenting here is telling the algorithm you like to engage with this community, therefore you will keep seeing it more, and complaining more, thus telling the algorithm you like engaging with the community etc.

I told you to block the community because you don’t enjoy it, that’s all.

A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all. Let’s explore the bad world of Cars!

Pretty sure that’s Europa Universalis 4, but it could be another Paradox grand strategy game. I’m just pretty sure that’s EU4’s user interface. If the humour is that it’s supposed to be Nazi Germany, it would have to be hearts of Iron, and the German Empire would be named the “German Reich”. EU4 takes place before the second world war.

Edit: Nevermind, it’s Victoria 2, still before WW2, though.

I definitely remember the girl who walked out of her house and down her garden path, stepped on to the street footpath which is on a hill and icy, immediately started sliding down the hill, grabbed the metal railing fence and shouted, terrified, back towards her house “MUM! MUM HELP! MUMMMMM!”

So there’s at least one other cringey person.

Yep, just seems disingenuous to act like the history of the spice trade hasn’t affected our food culture when it clearly has massively. Hell, even curry in Japan is popular not because of India but because of British influence. The reason “Katsu Curry” is called Katsu is because of the English word “Cuts” referring to the cuts of meat in the curry, which is Japanese sounds like ‘katsu’.

I’m British and I see it’s wrong because it simply isn’t true… We have a ton of spicy foods. The stereotype that we only eat comfort foods like in the meme is old and worn out. Maybe that’s all you eat, but that’s on you.

I guess one upside of living in a country that uses both metric and imperial frequently is that these things tend to click pretty quickly. The lack of consistency is annoying, though.

If I had this flyer delivered to me I’d use my reasoning skills to bin it, maybe mock it first. Seems silly not to deliver it. It’s only going to be read by the already bigoted. Any sensible individual knows what to do with it.

I appreciate this, it’s really good advice and what I try to do, but I can always be better.

At the moment I volunteer for a food bank that focuses on redistributing surplus food stocks from businesses instead of having them go to the bin. This is because I abhor waste.

I also volunteer for the Scouts because it upsets me to see young people glued to screens all the time, never leaving their home, and not knowing what the real world and real social situations are. Also, I missed out on a lot of these things as a child because I shied away from them and nobody encouraged me. I enjoyed hiking with my older brother and my uncle, but the premise of joining the Scouts was never even given to me as an option.

It’s amazing to see kids say “what’s this plant, what’s that tree, what is that mushroom, can I eat that berry?” and sometimes being able to answer them, or at least tell them how they can find themselves an answer. “Take a picture of it, do some research, tell me what you find out next week”

Now you’re speaking my language, come and shake my hand… actually, nevermind.

There are many reasons we are screwed as a species. There’s pretty much nothing I can do about it, unfortunately.

Whenever this discussion happens in my country, where the death penalty has been abolished, I always point them to cases like this. They argue “But we will be better”. Historically we have not been better, and we are only getting worse.

Fun fact: If you’ve said “Fuck you whale”, you don’t need to say “fuck you dolphin” as all dolphins are whales anyway. It would be like saying “Fuck you, Great apes (Hominidae) and fuck you human”

But you can say it if you want, it’s just superfluous, but many of life’s pleasures are.

The character that Gordon Ramsey puts on for Americans is so wild. Certainly he’s to the point and frank whenever he appears on British TV, but he’s far from this raging aggressive personality he has on American TV.

I would suggest that the camera man moves.
