"brits" isn't derogatory.

That really depends who is saying it. Cat Deeley? No. Me, 5 minutes into what was supposed to be a neutral discussion of Irish history? Weeeellll....

  1. Why would anyone have to sign up to Truth Social to see what he's posted? Wouldn't a single bot reposting it elsewhere do the job?

  2. I'm pretty sure Musk is on board to hand him back the POTUS Twitter handle and say any censorship or moderation would be unconstitutional and unpatriotic. Regardless of the result, probably. He will not care if Truth Social tanks if he's got that.

The people who are voting for Trump are the only ones that need to read it

Large margin for Harris: "this is absurd, we should have won, look how much they cheated"

Small margin for Harris: "They cheated, we need to send electoral votes for Trump anyway. Stop the steal!"

Small margin victory for Trump: "we won even though they cheated! Big changes coming to prevent their cheating in future"

Huge victory for Trump: "we have a mandate to eradicate the wetbacks"

I don't think the meme should be exclusively about building/fixing PCs though. Half the young people starting in our business show the same ineptitude as my parents when tasks with clicking stuff.

Them not being part of the region doesn't mean they don't exist.

I fully support the Palestinian cause - I'm Irish, so that's not a shock - but the quotes just looks petty and childish, like the Americans still saying "Drumpf".

Acknowledging something is real is probably the first step to dealing with a threat.

Be careful, I heard that having strong opinions on seed oils lowers your testosterone

Ukraine certainly was one of the most corrupt nations in Europe. Pre-pandemic its CPI score was 30, placing it between Bolivia and Myanmar.

Russia scored 28 (ie, worse). So I'm not sure what outcome you expect from Ukraine losing. I'm also interested to hear if you think countries like Mexico, Nigeria or Cambodia, also below Ukraine in the ranking, are "evil" and don't deserve statehood.

I know. I know. I'm already a converted vegetarian or "bad at it vegan". I'm spending a fortune on an EV car payment. My electricity is from a wind farm. I'm off all the socials. I've been recycling properly for decades and they tell me it was pointless. I'm getting pretty tired of personal responsibility. Can we do the guillotines now? I can't make the first move. I've got kids and a mortgage. Start rounding them up and I can do some small part there too.

Look, that's honestly quite sad and very telling of the way things are, but I audibly snorted at the idea of Jeff Bezos noticing his income slightly lower this week, panicking, scrambling to find The Borbendorfs' payment. A single tear wells up, but he wipes it away frantically. Never let them see. Never let them know how it hurts.
