I love how four of the six countries we can see names for are literally next to each other as well

I think we have the same cat

Little scam artist is getting himself double dinners and still looks that good

“During WW1” is the context for this

The European NATO members did continue supplying Ukraine. However, the US had previously accounted for roughly half of the total arms supplied and Europe didn’t do anything extra to make up for that sudden colossal shortfall.

I think you’ve misunderstood the comment above. They’re asking why snapshotting DRM-protected content would be a problem if everything stays local, implying that since it’s a problem it does not stay local

She’s a Star by James. The only part I could remember was the “star” part of the chorus, which is not exactly an easy lyric to decipher when you hear it on a supermarket radio. Eventually I found it by buying a James CD and running into that track by chance

After all, how else am I to appreciate the tits that I now have?

I was definitely assuming the cat would be facing the other way

Here’s Alaric. He made me panic when I first adopted him because it seemed like he was refusing to eat for several days. I then discovered that he had found the bag of cheese treats, hidden it behind the sofa, torn it open, and eaten nothing but those the whole time. He also dislikes hearing voice calls for some reason, perfectly happy to sit on my lap while I watch a video but will get up and leave if I go on a discord chat or take a phone call. Those big ears of his can apparently tell the difference, even when I’m using headphones.

I love this little guy. He is a blessing.

They didn’t always go as planned! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_Pyramid

That’s not true at all

We now deport those people to Rwanda

But it’s tactical!

To add to this, we apparently always knew. The famous blue image is more or less the correct hue, but the saturation has been absolutely blown out like a clickbait youtube thumbnail in order to show faint features more clearly. Somewhere along the line we stopped mentioning that that had been done. Irwin and co just just re-calculated it to get the most accurate version yet, because we’ve got a lot more data to work with now than we did back when Voyager 2 did its fly-by

Not quite candy but I think it’s close enough to count here: Co-op’s own brand salt & vinegar kettle crisps. They’re so vinegary it hurts. It’s wonderful.

Fair enough. The whip is a reasonable point to bring up, though I would suggest that if it bothered him that much he wouldn’t have stayed in the party for ten years. After all, he had switched parties beforehand. I get where you’re coming from though.

I’m not sure that makes him not right wing, surely that just means he wasn’t the kind of right wing that succeeded in the political landscape of the UK in the past 20ish years? His voting record is generally in favour of less regulation (outside of a few issues), lower taxes, military intervention, isolation from the EU. He’s pro-environmentalist, but that hasn’t always been an exclusively left-wing thing. Similarly, anarchists and Marxist-Leninists are both left wing, even if they wouldn’t necessarily get along well in a single political party together

I will have to preface this with the fact that I have not read any of his books, but former British politician Rory Stewart is one of the people that comes to my mind when reading your description. I don’t think that he comes to the right policy positions, of course, but whenever I listen to him he does seem to at least have a degree of empathy for all people. He seems to at least generally see the problem even if I think that his solution wouldn’t work. He has an effective way with words in interviews and his writing is generally very well reviewed too.

To a degree, but recent years have definitely shown the flaws of the EU model as it currently is. I do have some faith that the EU can and will reform itself to overcome those problems, as it is still a very young entity in the grand scheme of things and is generally quite effective legislatively. Things like Brexit and Hungary’s obstructionism show that it is currently far too easy for governments within the EU to scapegoat it for local problems, and the Syrian migrant crisis really tested the unity of it.

Invite me to the jam, I swear I can whistle well
