As someone not even remotely interested in soccer, I am even less interested in visiting Kansas City tbh.

Sorry, that was a bit mean. True, but mean.

Perkele! Finland now owns Greenland.

No, they want “traditional American families” for their wives. This is about control and they think if they can rule over someone, then they are still manly.

Pity they don’t realise this makes them little piss boys. Pathetic cunts.

This is what seriously limited my use of the GP10. It’s a real shame as I love the camera but it just stopped me from using it due to that unreliability.

Midnight Oil (because I’m Aussie so very relevant)

I love the song, the final chorus always gets the hairs on my arms raised. Especially when played loud.

I had the biggest crush on Shirley

As do we all, as do we all.

I just threw away 3 empty boxes of Arnott’s Shapes - the cheese and bacon ones specifically.

I need help.

Part of the “western experience” is having a boogeyman. China is the current one. It’s not necessarily racist, it’s just they need an “other” to compare themselves to. But yes, it sure is pathetic and only idiots believe it

It’s not about the quality of the food but the way staff are treated and abused in little more than food factories

I’m pleased for the Chinese people, my response is more facetious due to the whole “bad guy China” narrative that keeps being pushed, and then you look at some of the protections they have and you wonder “why doesn’t this happen here”. So it’s certainly not dissing China, and much more a remark on my own country’s failings.

Sounds much like active noise cancelling with a boost in the human voice frequency range

“US kids”.

Other countries still care about education. Stupid people are easier to control, hence why the US has been purposely abandoning their children. They import smart people from other countries as it’s easy to also rort the system if you’re looking for funding from wealthy investors, abusing staff due to the poor employee protections, weak environmental protections and easy access to corruption.

I hate when China does something more ethical/moral than my own country.

I am anti-monarchist too but the point of the monarch is not were you think it is, not in the 21st century. And I agree with the legal status of anyone above others but in that sense the US president is now literally above the law now. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-939_e2pg.pdf

You’ve failed to realise that the uselessness is the point

With all due respect, the King is a figurehead with zero political influence. He is “head of state” in name only. Unlike, say, a Presidential system like the US or French where the president is elected, political, has HUGE consequences on the nation, heads the government and chooses the leaders of the house. Charlie does absolutely none of that.

Whilst I agree having a monarch is anachronistic in the 21st century, it works with greater impartiality than the “King” of the US. The UK and the other constitutional monarchies are never beholden to the whims of their head of state, unlike that of the major powers, not since Magna Carta and/or The English Civil War. USians seem to think we live in the days of Absolute Monarchs - which is kinda what you guys have.

A high-class whore is still a whore.

No shade, and do what you want - grab that bag if that’s what you want, but there’s little difference between a street walker, a call girl, or a porn star. You’re still being paid for sex, simple as that. If it’s consensual, and nobody is being exploited then whatever.
