Deeply cynical (not actually suggesting we do this take). Ban paternal support payments.
There was a Blue Thunder series as well. Frankly disappointed that Manamal and Automan aren't included.
It's just another fucking version of Brownshirts. Or Blackshirts depending on country.
There's also the fact that England is not the UK, using the Union flag and meaning England kinda annoys the Welsh and Scottish. So all those fans in Italia 90 with a union fag would much prefer them to use St George and please get a different anthem England.
Enoch Powell was fired for his rivers of blood speech. That wouldn't have happened now. Part of fighting racism is that it has to be unacceptable in "polite society". A chunk of the media is making it acceptable once more. It is all of our duty to oppose this.
Yeah but Afghanistan is a long way away and who cares what happens there? Is my best explanation. Thinking things properly through doesn't seem like their long suit.
Quite literally unnecessary overkill.
Those things that you mention are all features of the Orban regime in Hungary, classed as illiberal democracy. Essentially control of the press, making it hard for opposition parties, gerrymandering etc. Illiberal democracy - Wikipedia share.google/gjSBxXF2EKZ2...
No alas the beginning of America's fall into at best Hungary style illiberal democracy at worst outright fascism.
Not wholly surprised, it is essentially Mills and Boon for men. Also good grief did they drag it, (particularly the siege of Terra) out.
That's not true I stole a Muslim a couple of weeks ago and had no end of bother. Violated my parole terms and everything.
Surely generative AI would be less clichéd.
Paging Dr Monroe 😁. My guess is that it would be a bit of a neutron star and so 3.5 gallons (UK or US) would be bloody heavy in total.
You'd definitely need a very good magnifying glass.
Or other smaller nuclei.
There is a tongue-in-cheek unit of volume called the Hubble-barn, equal to the volume of a cylinder with cross-sectional area of one barn (100 fm^2 - about the size of a uranium nucleus) and height of one Hubble length (14.4 billion light years). It works out to three and a half gallons.
I always thought he was a bit iffy.
You're awesome, like totally the finest. That's a free sample DM me to get subscription details and praise plans.
Diolch 😁
On the slow boat down the Mekong river in Laos chatting with a Pole who had a racist streak. London was the example I used to say he was wrong but gently. A city of 150 nations and more languages. But it works, groups may not love each other but they get by share space and day to day it works.
He was directly quoting a French philosopher. A little pretentious perhaps but there's a wholly valid underlying reason.
Alas although my Mum was first language she didn't pass that on to my brother and me growing up in 1980s Slough. Got bits and pieces of Wenglish though. It is remarkable for such a small place how diverse linguistically Cymru is.
South Walian, parents they were daps.

By certain definitions things that are fish. All mammals, birds, reptiles and bony fish. Things that aren't sharks, jelly fish, cuttlefish, and starfish. Hope that helps 🙂
It was brilliant, not an easy watch but neither should it be. Heartbreaking uplifting and left me with a powerful sense of anger at people who could hate their fellow man for something as trivial as skin colour.
It's a brilliant series. Just avoid the film at all costs.
Leverage to buy bitcoin? No way that goes wrong.
I kinda liked Designated Survivor but would struggle to call it good.
I was about 19/20 when I saw it first and also loved the way it showed male friendship at that age, my life was very different but could totally relate to mates dicking around with each other.
The whole soundtrack is fabulous.
Arbitrage is where something is cheaper in one place than in another so you can make money by buying and selling the same thing in different places. Tax arbitrage takes advantage of differences in different countries tax systems.
I guess if Isaac Newton can get fooled by market bubbles then we can too.
Surely I can interest you in the Stock of the South Seas company good sir?
If you want to buy bitcoin why not just buy it, why on earth do a second order bitcoin ownership?
insha'Allah
I'm shocked, shocked to hear that Lied to by cosmetics, again? Sigh.
I'll be sure to factor that in, thanks. I don't suppose you know how effective lime is?
Came here to say exactly that 😁. Was that the original cover?
Not cheery, but excellent.
Oh, blimey. India with all the momentum now.
It's been magnificent. Top class drama, competitive with twists and turns aplenty.
You just can't say anything these days.

So almost like a Dread Pirate Roberts 😁
I told you they're the embodiment of evil Daphne du Maurier was right.
Not silly but fun, I saw Avengers Infinity War in a cinema in Delhi. Loud cheers the first time a hero comes on screen, loud cheers for a good action sequence. It remains my one of my favourite cinema watching experiences.
Walked out of my door to see a young girl maybe 3 or 4 wearing a sparkly dress and a set of rainbow fairy wings. I comment to her mum how cute she looks. Her mum smiles and says yeah and we've got a whole day of it, she loves pride. Happy pride all hope it is as much fun for you as it is for her.
The new Brighton rock kit looks straight razor sharp.
As a long term resident of Brighton I whole heartedly endorse this message.
At least 75% of men are well above average.
Aww come it's just a whim away 😁

None needed, it's kinda challenging for me as well but delighted that my little bit of nonsense made you smile. Be as gentle with yourself as you can. May it get a little easier.
OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you. 😉
Thanks Otto, if he'd said in peacetime then yeah it must be getting pretty close to the top.
Erm operation Barbarossa and Pearl Harbour waves and says hello. Post Brexit Britain is not ideal but it's not the annialation of the country.
Also lowering interest rates at full employment will typically increase inflation as too much money chases too few goods. Couple that with a tax cut plus tariff inflation and if you're unlucky a 70s style wage price spiral could be yours.
Murder drives ratings not so much accidents. I guarantee that if he'd killed those people with a sword it would have got as many headlines. But guns help you kill people, there's a reason why armies don't use swords any more.
Do most people live in rural America?
If they did it with typists they can do it with gun manufacturers. Some will still work for the military market some will just have to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and find another job.
You mean like gun manufacturers do with not allowing the CDC to research gun deaths?
Nah, the person a gun is most likely to kill its owner, accident or suicide. Unless you're part of a well regulated militia doing a lot of training you're probably not going to be much use surprised in a fire fight. Not giving loads of people guns means fewer crazy people get them too.
share.google/wiZutDsIGJwg... Interesting no indication of the 250 figure but it appears most chainsaw deaths are caused by kickback rather than cutting yourself.
Absolutely can see the case for farmers to own varmint rifles. Less so can I see a purpose for open or concealed carry in any urban or suburban setting.
You don't think in that situation the vast majority of people would call a tree surgeon?
I guess it depends how you define chainsaw accident. If you include being hit by a branch/tree as a result of using one than I can see how you might get to 250
But they may say not allow the sale of particularly long chainsaws or chainsaws with overly large fuel tanks or other safety features that would make them less easy to kill multiple people with and no one would bat an eye at sensible chainsaw regulation or ownership registration/compulsory training.
Wasn't she a showgirl?
All hail Cthulhu, why settle for the lesser of evil?
That'll teach her to take Al Wilson songs literally
Nah he was trying his best to stop them. He just was unsuccessful and unnecessary.
I live in Brighton and love seeing the Rampion wind farm off the coast. I am also very glad the coal power station in Shoreham burns no more.
Absolutely Indy had no impact whatsoever in Raiders of the Lost ark, the Nazis still found the ark and it killed them.
Delightfully played.
I ♥️ Brighton
Gotta admire Corbyn's relentless ambition. It's not enough to have played his part in delivering Brexit and Boris Johnson, he wants the accomplishment of a Farage premiership before he's done.
PAPYRUS!!!!
The people of Constantinople say no.
That's absolutely wild, so many questions...
Lying is so much less cognitively burdensome if the first victim is yourself.
When we spoke to Lavrenity Beria he was all in favour of masked thugs and blacksites. Makes systematic oppression and slaughter so much easier.
I mean it would be epic poetic justice.
I am the one who knocks.
Almost none, the Germans on the other hand with the sealed train and getting Lenin back in definitely did but mostly it's just Russians being hideous to other Russians since they were the Dukes of Muscovy.
Religion is like a penis, it's perfectly fine to have one, be proud of it if you will. But has no place being waved about in public.

A pox on both of their houses.
Portishead approve this message.
I can think of several times in history where there were absolutely no adverse consequences of such partitions.
I used to live in Stoke Newington, a chunk of the Jewish community round there was very visibly Jewish.

But the Tsar would never betray us. It is his corrupt Boyas advising him.
I had Patrick as one of my lecturers in my final year, the most disliked lecturer in the faculty by both students and I understand within the faculty as well and it wasn't just his politics there were a handful of Hayekian lecturers there but mainly because he was a prick.
