Ex-a few things, now mow lawns and shout at trees. There's enough for everyone, some people need to learn to share better. Into old toys, sci-fi, comics, films. I run because I have to ... you'll never see a cheetah jogging for fun.

USA, another theocracy. Maybe they should also include all legislation and regulations, as well as simplistic religious text for ancient times. What do non-christians & non-believers do whilst the others kneel & pray? No likelihood of bullying then? Pathetic for a so-called modern country.
Steve Wood (@steve-wood.bsky.social) reply parent
Education is though. In the UK the vast majority went to secondary moderns (25% went to grammar schools). They were poorly educated to be workers in an empire that no longer existed. Many are quite dim and fell for Thatcher's bs. They rode the post war boom, many did well and still moan.

FFS. To paraphrase Thatcher.... There's no such thing as The Market, there are merely fat, rich bastards that want to rip off as many people as they can in order to amass as much wealth as they can.

Same here. Only67 million people in the country and neither of us asked. A disgrace. Nobody has ever asked a Tory or a Brexiteer their opinion, either. 76% of all stats on the www are made up.

The Police across the US seem poorly trained. Seen numerous videos where they put themselves in harms way, then shoot someone because they might have a gun. If they're that scared of guns, do something about them. I suspect they don't because it's a great excuse when shooting someone.

Just how big were these protest? News Coverage of large demos are filmed from a distance, filling the screen with lots of people. All these demos are filmed up close, so screen is filled by 5 people. Vague amounts used "Lots/significant/many" rather than actual numbers. WTF is going on?

Biggest giveaway was Trump's reaction. He's a coward. He'd have curled in a ball, shit his pants and demanded SS throw themselves in front of him. He'd have been out of there soon fast. Also SS response was awful. Moving press to get a good photo, too. Finally Trump never mentions it.

Dems need to make it clear that everything he has done to others will be done to him. Everything he has built or done will be pulled down and thrown in a dumpster. Anyone he appointed will be sacked on day 1. There must be no legacy for Trump. He's a stain on history.

That is the Reps. plan. Not to actively kill people, just not keep them alive. remove USSS protection - MAGA kills Stop vaccines - viruses kill Halt climate action - nature kills Cut medicare/aid - illness kills Reduce H&S, food regs, site safety, FEMA, ...... "It wasn't us" .... they're cowards.

One of the issues is the idiots that follow the likes of Trump require black & white rules. No nuance. No grey areas. It's either one thing or the other. They're lazy and don't want to think too much. Creating hard & fast rules will be difficult [maybe impossible], so they'll shout "Ban 'em".

I made a mistake on my self-assessment. Phoned them up and told them it was their fault for letting an untrained idiot like me do it. Would they be OK if I flew them on holiday? Operated on them? Said I was happy to go to jail as long as I shared a cell with Mr Google, Ms. Starbucks or Jeff Bezos.

A main street in my town now has flags on every lamp post. Why? We all know which country we're in. Pride [if there is any] in it doesn't need a flag. Now it's rained they look sad, limp, dirty and a bit useless - maybe they do reflect the country.

I've never needed to wave a flag, drape one over my car, hang one from a window. I know which country I'm in, I know where I'm from. I don't particularly like flags nor like to see them hanging from every lamp post in my town. All a bit tacky.

Just started watching and not all that impressed. Can't understand why Pike puts up with the crap dished out by the helm - tell her to shut up and do her job. The relationship between Spock & Pike doesn't look like the sort that would cause Spock to risk execution for. It also undermines Kirk/Spock.

They were educated for an empire that had disappeared. It explains their displeasure at life and their desire to destroy all the good things their parents' generation brought in - unions, NHS, BBC, welfare, housing etc. They hate their parents for losing the empire they were educated to serve in.

75% went to a secondary modern. The ironic thing is many of that 75% want to bring back the system that failed them. They're easy to spot; their lips move as they read The Daily Mail.
Steve Wood (@steve-wood.bsky.social) reply parent
In the UK, Boomers had a two tier education. If they passed the 11+ they went to a grammar school to learn to think. If they failed, they went to a secondary modern and were barely educated for life in 1900. Educated just enough to do basic jobs, but to avoid thinking. Hence Reform UK PLC.

The UK had one school shooting and the vast majority of handguns were taken away. Since then there have been no school shootings. The R-W morons bring up knife crime at this point; knife crime in the USA is worse than the UK in ADDITION to the massive difference in gun crime.
