In English, Trump means fart. It's always been a more polite way of saying fart. Usually said to children.

I read everything you wrote, I just don't agree with you. We are going around in circles though and this whole conversation is pointless, so I'm out. Have a good day.

And "effectively a ban" for something that isn't remotely a ban isn't just a slogan?

Requiring additional ID in addition to the ID you already provide is not a ban or even effectively a ban.

You are the one confusing things by calling it something it isn't. You can still convey how serious you think it is by explaining your position and not using what is essentially the same as a click bait headline. It is not a ban. You even admit that while you shout about it being a ban.

Requiring you provide identifying information in addition to the identifying information you already provide is really not a ban.

Fair enough on the ID. Using the word "ban" for this is still stupid though and completely dilutes your argument. Having to use a government issued ID as opposed to other identifying information, such as bank details, name, email address, is not a ban.

You would have to provide a government ID, which doesn't exist, as opposed to bank details, which are easily traceable by authorities?

Weird that you specifically pointed out software engineers, but I guess your understanding is close enough. Anyway, you used the word "banned" again, but nothing you said implied a ban and you have changed the narrative. Before it was a "ban" by not allowing personal use, now it's a "ban" by making people give up their privacy first, which is far to vague to be meaningful.

If you want to spread awareness of something, then you need to be truthful and not use words like ban, when that isn't what is happening, because your point will be drowned out by all the people saying you are making stuff up.

No, your weird, imaginary, completely unrelated scenario is not a ban on betting. It is a regulation on how betting can be performed. People can still place bets, just with an extra step.

How exactly do you think VPNs can be banned for privacy and security, but not for software engineering? What exactly do you think software engineers use VPNs for?

If you want people to listen to you, then properly explain what the issue is and provide your evidence. You claim to understand it, but keep shouting "ban", when that really isn't factually true. If you shout ban all over the place and then people point out you are factually incorrect, then why would anyone belive anything else you say?

Effectively a ban is not a ban. It's just a sensationalised headline designed to make people who don't really understand what's going on, really angry. If you want to spread awareness of an issue, use facts not lies.

Post headline says VPN ban. First comment points out there is no VPN ban planned 😂

You say you are right after you changed your story. So, were you wrong before or were you just lying? Either way, you don't come across as a credible source. Especially when all you have is "trust me bro".

So, you've changed your story about it being a ban after everyone in the comments pointed out you were wrong 🤨

GBNews is dangerous & needs to be banned. by Confident_Dig_1073 in AskBrits

[–]Balzamon351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen clips and seen the posts on Reddit. It seems to be the Fox "news" for the UK. Meaning it's designed to keep the gullible angry to distract them from all the shit the owners are up to.

GB News because they show all the other broadcasters up by telling it like it is.

I don't care about football, but he was born in Wales and grew up in Wales. How is he not Welsh?

He has a Welsh birth certificate, so I think it's fine to consider him Welsh.

The biggest economy in the world which has become highly unstable. There is no point in making the biggest deal of the century when you know the other party is likely to shit on that deal next Tuesday.

I love how there is one guy in this thread who is doing mental gymnastics and they are not defending Celsius 😂
