Yes. It's only the EU political union we're no longer in. From what I've tasted of other European sweets they're about the same.
I haven't seen "The London Game" on the internet; that can be a lot of fun.
Most of the other stuff I like I've seen somewhere or other.
Well you should ask them. Respectfully, without interrogation, and as part of a wider conversation that overall seeks to strengthen your relationships with your neighbours. You might find there is some sense there.
I'm from the UK, not USA. But I can see why some might vote for Trump. I wouldn't, personally, because of stuff he's said, but if you accept the premise "sure he speaks crazy but what he means is [non-crazy stuff]" then maybe there is some rationale behind their choice, and you might find you're not as different as you think.
Just wipe it down with a damp cloth (not dripping, just damp). It'll be as good as new.
Well I'd be happy to. It's only Microsoft's silly rules that stop my laptop being upgraded to Win11.
Well NATO works both ways, and we've seen recently what happens if russia decides to walk into a non-NATO country.
If russia walks into the USA then NATO (probably renamed to the European Defence something) will be sitting back going "hey, sucks to be you. Shame you're not in a mutual defence pact or something."
It works really well! I remember the last 27 places the bread was, so whenever I go in for a loaf of bread I come out with 28 items in total because I have to have at least one of everything from all the places the bread used to be! Makes for some really interesting changes to my meals too!!1!
There was a period some years ago where Firefox and Chrome were leapfrogging each other: Firefox would get slow and crap so I'd switch, then Chrome would get slow and crap and I'd switch back to FF, and so on. I've been on Chrome for quite a while it seems, until this development with uBO, well for me the internet is unusable without a shitblocker, so that's the end of Chrome. Thankfully FF is up to the job.
And my phaseout of Chrome is complete. My two browsers are now Firefox and Edge. Bit surprised at the latter tbh but it seems reasonably adequate as a secondary browser.
Yeah, but critics always have to say shit films are good and good films are shit; that way we keep thinking they've got some amazing insight that's worth them being paid oodles of cash. If they said good films were good and shit films were shit we'd all be like "no shit Sherlock" and kick them unpaid out of the building.
So what you’re talking about is for a minority to raise arms against the democratically elected government. again, not what I’m saying.
Then I recommend you crack open a dictionary and check the meanings of "get organized, involved, and armed", "stand, fight, and maybe even die" (your exact wording). Because raising arms against a democratically elected goverrnment IS EXACTLY what you are saying, albeit that you might not be saying you necessarily want to start that fight, but it certainly looks like it to me.
Naah, Moose came later, he was the chap who came down from a mountain with a couple of iPads, then drove out of the desert in a Triumph, or something like that.
Shouldn't be a problem in a couple of years as russia's economy tanks under the weight of putin's war, Google'll get change from a dollar bill if they wait it out.
Listening to music.
I was playing some music on my cassette player at school one day, but it wasn't rock'n'roll according to the renowned expert that was discussing the situation with me, therefore it was "gay".
I fucking think it's because they're fucking worried that fucking people on fucking Lemmy might be fucking offended by the fucking word fuck and its fucking derivatives. Let's fucking hope they fucking bookmark this fucking post and fucking come back to it in a few fucking weeks to see if anything's fucking happened to it. Fuck fuckity fuck fuck - fuck fuck.
Yeah but those little bastards started it. People call what's happening in Gaza a genocide but that's nothing compared with the mozzie kill count.
How are slavery reparations fair?
This relates to the BBC article [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66596790] which states "the UK should pay $24tn (£18.8tn) for its slavery involvement in 14 countries".
The UK abolished slavery in 1833. That's 190 years ago. So nobody alive today has a slave, and nobody alive today was a slave.
Dividing £18tn by the number of UK taxpayers (31.6m) gives £569 each. Why do I, who have never owned a slave, have to give £569 to someone who similarly is not a slave?
When I've paid my £569 is that the end of the matter forever or will it just open the floodgates of other similar claims?
Isn't this just a country that isn't doing too well, looking at the UK doing reasonably well (cost of living crisis excluded of course), and saying "oh there's this historical thing that affects nobody alive today but you still have to give us trillions of Sterling"?
Shouldn't payment of reparations be limited to those who still benefit from the slave trade today, and paid to those who still suffer from it?
(Please don't flame me. This is NSQ. I genuinely don't know why this is something I should have to pay. I agree slavery is terrible and condemn it in all its forms, and we were right to abolish it.)
