God can you imagine Biden saying, “it’s not persecution you dumb fuck, it’s consequences for your actions!”

It’s 2.90 in Tesco or SuperValu op, that’s centra screwing you over. 2.90 is still a lot for a 1.25l from the supermarket tho.

They had to change the law in the uk around naming companies!

They’re known as “suckers,” “marks,” and “airport pickups”

How many Essex girls does it take to screw in a light bulb? None, Essex girls screw in Capris.

Which goes to show how old these jokes are.

They’re, like, totally tuberlar dude

Mostly due to the boxing. Had several facial injuries, had to have reconstructive surgery on his nose and cheekbone which didn’t work, and had to teturn to surgery several times.

I actually think a major part of the problem in US politics is that the balance of power is effectively upside down compared to most modern democracies.

Here in Ireland for example, we have three levels just like you: the Dáil is like the House of Representatives, the Seanad is the senate, and we both have presidents. However the head of government here is the leader of the largest party in the Dáil, and the other two are really figureheads. It means that other parties are way more involved in government and lessens the tendencies for a single figurehead to run rampant, changing stuff to suit himself every 4-8 years.

Ireland also uses PR, but we’ve actually gotten quite good at the vote counts, and we probably don’t have the same threat of bad actors in some other countries.

It’s the same in the UK - parliament is the actual government, while the House of Lords and the king are at this stage vestigial. But they use fptp, which is making it difficult to remove a minority government for the last dozen years or so.

Piracy is just reverse time shifting. It’s going to be on FTA TV at some point, I’m just making it more convenient to watch now.

I’m going to leave it there mate. Too many logical fallacies to even bother any more. Good luck to you, hope you’re delighted when the Israeli forces have “accidentally” bombed the last of their own hostages so they don’t have to hold back any more.

What the absolute fuck, you’re wilfully not understanding me.

I said that the Irish people were well versed in militant organisations committing atrocities in their name. Who do you think might be hoisting hamas flags?

how is that defending anyone carrying terrorist flags? The exact opposite: they’re fuckwits, who have no say in Irish political discourse any longer. But in the recent pro-Palestinian marches in Ireland, there were Palestinian flags, but no Hamas flags.

How can anyone expect a terrorist organisation to stand down when every atrocity is reciprocated ten-fold? Logically, that sort of response just leads to escalation.

All of Gaza is not Hamas. The vast majority are not combatants in a war. They’re just normal people, caught in the crossfire, watching their homes get destroyed, dying. That’s who I support. Fuck Hamas. Fuck war.

Oh my god are you still on the hamas flags that the Ira used to march with? I’m sure if you look close enough you’ll find Israelis who support Hamas. If you can find a verified, recent photo, I’ll believe you. But it’s certainly not widespread and not mainstream.

And how many times did the Ira and the uda say they’d never come to the table? Diplomacy works. And without wiping out a population, it’s the only thing that works.

My new favourite answer for everything like this is Asciidoc. You can incorporate latex or mathjax directly into docs.

Jfc he looks like a waxwork

That’s very disingenuous of you to say. Did you not read my comment? Or did you cherry pick a single point to twist its meaning. I said that the Irish people were well versed in militant organisations committing atrocities in their name. Who do you think might be hoisting hamas flags?

Look, we all know this is hideously complex, with bad actors and innocent victims on both sides. But how can you support Israel when they are continuing to settle Palestinian land with government-protected settlers, demolishing the entire region, killing innocent civilians.

You know what stopped the troubles in NI in the end? Diplomacy.

I have no clue what you are on about. Nobody - I repeat NOBODY - supports Hamas here. But, we do support the Palestinian people, who are lot of other nations seem to want to go away.

See, that’s what the Irish people have experience of: fucking terrorists carrying out atrocities in the name of the rest of us, while innocent people get caught in the crossfire when a larger nation tries to stamp them out. Which is being amplified a thousandfold in Gaza right now.

And about those fucking idiots up in Dublin last Thursday? Yeah, totally riled up by foreign influence themselves.

I thought it was Slave 1 flying right-to-left

Klaus was really good, far better than I expected.
