The French tried to run you over, and the Italians actively speed up when they see a pedestrian.

In the UK you actually do have to stop and people do even Audi drivers stop sometimes.

Yeah obviously this is a film set. That's what PSAs are, little government adverts. They didn't deploy this on the street and they're not suggesting this as a solution to a problem. It's a fun little sort of advertisement that has been created to try and make a point.

I don't need to believe in Wi-Fi I just need to see that my phone is connected to the internet. The existence of Wi-Fi can be inferred by me having access to YouTube.

My mother is like that. She can't actually see her phone because she never wears her glasses so she can't tell if it makes sense or not. So she doesn't even bother anymore she just presses send. So I get messages like:

CBB you pour the cars bowl out if the dishewast

And there's no point me asking for clarification because the clarification will be just as bizarrely broken.

I don't think it's a direct quote. I've refuse to believe that the president of the United States knows what the word "plural" means.

However he definitely has a bragged in the past about taking a cognitive test that you only give to suspected dementia sufferers, personally I feel like bragging about having taken a dementia test, should result in a fail of the test.

No this is different.

We'd already been attacked or at least the US had already been attacked, so Desert Storm was a response to that.

This is the UK prime minister serving the UK up on the silver platter. Just so he can continue to brown nose the most corrupt leader the US has ever had, one who has shown he would happily throw us under the bus if he thought it would benefit him. Or perhaps he would do it anyway, just because.

Potentially this could lead to an escalating war with Iran, with no upside. This decision should have been the easiest to make. Why are we getting involved in this war?

Is he trying to get kicked out of office because it seems like he's trying to get kicked out of office.

What a pointless stupid decision.

Most people who use teams do so on work devices, I can't just install Linux on it.

So far all of his would be assassins have been his own supporters. It's almost like railing up a bunch of idiots who worship guns, and then subsequently pissing them off, was a bad idea.

So the polls are exclusively done by my parents. I don't know anyone who still has a landline except then.

But Spaniards are white.

Here's something interesting. He's lying.

Obviously the green party don't want to legalise all drugs that's an insane position to take. Paul they said was that they would legalise some of the low harm drugs like marijuana which has been tried in many countries around the world including the US and is having positive results.

NATO barely exists anymore, with the US being ruled by Trump and the republicans in general being the way they are the US is no longer a valuable ally. Hell they actively start wars where previously there was peace, so what do we get out of remaining in ally?

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.
