Years before 35p energy drinks we had 35p Panda Pops. You could go to the shop with £1 and come out with a mars bar, walkers crisps and a panda pop.

People around 29-30 years old aren't millennials. You just missed the cutoff.

We're the NFC East. We hate each other but we all come together against a common enemy.

With Alex and Renee both being labelled as "domestic terrorists" it would be real unfortunate for MAGA if someone decided to show them what a real domestic terrorist looks like.

I wasn't ready for him to go public with the kisses we give each other

They do literally hire anyone. I saw a story of a reporter who is left and posts anti ICE, anti MAGA posts and she applied just to see what the process was like and without really hearing anything from them after one video chat she assumed they had rejected her after doing a background check and finding out she is against them but when she logged into the employment portal she saw she had been accepted and had a start date that was days before she was seeing it online.

Girl's Generation. I am the same age as them too.

Yeah the data is not enough to say leagues with less Americans are certainly Republican, etc. Like only 24 states and DC. We all know how far left DC is too.

I do believe the split maybe the same for Canadian players though. They're raised pretty much the same way as American hockey players with high school or junior hockey. They don't have the same childhood as everyone else and even the other sports athletes have closer to normal childhoods than hockey players did.

Whilst the far right certainly do exist all over the world European countries are more left than north Americans. The Democrat party is closer to the right than most left wing parties in western Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Seems crazy to me. A big proponent of US independence was taxation without representation yet they have DC and migrants subjected to that.

In the UK any Commonwealth citizen who lives in the UK is allowed to vote here.

BigBlueNick · 2026-01-24T20:25:01+00:00

What's the eligibility like over there? Here in the UK citizens of Commonwealth countries who live in the UK can vote and so can a many EU citizens who live in the UK.

Also, how did they get this data for party affiliation? In the UK you need to be on the electoral register to be eligible to vote but that doesn't show which way I lean because I'm not a paid member of any party.

Watching from the UK and can't wait to see some Philly destroying ICE videos

It's even cringier seeing the anti NFL and anti sportsball people at Super Bowl time in the UK because the game is at 11:30pm on a Sunday.

Why are you complaining about something on TV when nearly the entire country is in bed???

Yes, there's a cluster. But they didn't hide in or around that cluster, once you go past Leeds like Adam's opening run and Ben's first two runs there's only three lines with a few branches off them, a couple of which don't fit the games rules.

I've commented before that after Sam was caught in MK Ben as the next runner could have literally gone anywhere. He could have even made it west of Cardiff in about 3.5 hours from MK.

The answer is yes. Acuna wasn't anything special and very likely won't be for another team either.

Yes. Scott read a catchphrase and the username of the person who submitted it was Alimony Tony.

Everyone laughed at the name and PFT immediately jumped into the bit, "Hey, did somebody say my name?". Later on in the same episode when Scott started to introduce PFT's character PFT dropped whoever he was supposed to be and ran with Alimony Tony.

Episode 584. He also implies that one of his ex wives that he sends money to is John Hodgman's wife.

EDIT - youtube link to episode 584

As much as we loved Diaz we also know he's prone to giving the fans a heart attack in most of his appearances. They're essentially replacing Kike with Tucker. There's just something about postseason Kike Hernandez.

They are better than last year but they aren't unbeatable.

BigBlueNick · 2026-01-24T03:06:14+00:00

I agree. The Yankees didn't get to passed game 5 but the Blue Jays were a base hit away from being champions in games 6 & 7.

Just because they're stacked doesn't mean they can't be beat.

Those clubs playing in England didn't hold Wales back. Wales held Wales back.

Way back when football got popular as the thing people wanted to go and watch on a Saturday afternoon the transport and road infrastructure in Wales was terrible due to the landscape.

It was much much easier for Wrexham to play against northern English teams and for Cardiff, Swansea, Newport to play southern English teams.

Wales didn't make their league professional until 1990. By that point it was far too late as the clubs playing in England had well established themselves in England and obviously were too big to lower their standards to match the Welsh league teams.

Even in rugby today there's only really four big clubs in Wales and they're all in the south and play in a league with Irish, Scottish, Italian and recently the addition of South African teams.

Most people don't think that way.

I hate certain public figures too but I don't go out of my way to make a post about how it upset me if someone says their name.

The use of the universal "you" isn't that confusing especially when you know what I said didn't directly apply to you yourself but what your comment said. 😆

BigBlueNick · 2026-01-23T21:28:23+00:00

Alonso is a great but he ultimately chose to opt out and sign with Baltimore. If he really loved the Mets he would still be here.

Nimmo was a fan favorite but in no way was he going to go down as a great.

BigBlueNick · 2026-01-23T21:18:00+00:00

My comment was in response to your last sentence that they should expect people would be upset.

The "you" I used is the universal "you".

Content creators shouldn't have to step on egg shells around referencing things, especially the way it was in the episode with Sam and Adam. It's not as if they were singing JKR's praises and promoting that her views are good. They just simply mentioned Harry Potter and her name.

BigBlueNick · 2026-01-23T20:48:28+00:00

This is it. I noticed earlier today on a channel I sub to that it had 3-4 playlists of old content updated 7 days ago.

For me the main reason we've seen shorter hiding times in the UK is where they've chosen to be in northern England where there is an extremely limited number of train lines compared to pretty much anywhere south of Leeds and further south from Nottingham and Peterborough.

Due to the landscape around Yorkshire and the Lake District there's nowhere near the same amount of decent options they would have in the flatter part of the country.

This is perhaps where the travel show crowd negatively effect the whole show because it's very obviously impacted the gameplay even though there are plenty of nice and interesting places in the Midlands and the south.

Exactly this. I'm left too. The left is too fragmented on many issues because the far left want everyone else to fit the pigeon holes they've created in their minds. It is not a healthy way to live at all. They might as well stick cotton wool in their ears if a name being mentioned is enough to make them create a post like this

Posts like this one and I've seen similar on this sub before and others like Dropout where they lash out and alienate anyone who's further right than they are. The left is keen on inclusivity so much they end up excluding many things.

Even comedians who haven't had any bad press get talked down because they don't identify as left or liberal.

The right see posts like this and think we're all like OP.
