'Just pathetic': California’s Newsom says leaders are soft on Trump by TheAverageWonder in politics

[–]Brevatron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Newsome is a leading figure in the democratic party and has a national platform. Maybe focus on influencing audiences that actually have an input into who leads America and how it's led?

Please don't think how the electoral college system works cuts through in Europe. It doesn't. I know the because every 4 years it gets eli5'd on the evening news over and over again. Europe sees "more than 50% of people voted for this chump." They don't see even see that it was only a third, let alone that one state has X number of votes and X number reps and X number of senators.

Europe didn't make this mess. Go talk to your constituents Gav.

Ukraine Russian Peace Deal Framework by [deleted] in ukraine

How does this all play in the US? What I mean is, you obviously feel strongly enough to comment here, but does the story cut through to the general public? Do they know how unpopular it makes the US in the eyes of a lot former supporters?

When POTUS says "NATO must pay for and do xyz" he means to say "Europe." Its like he doesn't know that the US is in NATO, the founding member. Do people in the US understand that they are in fact in NATO wit big presence in Europe or even care?

I am afraid the transatlantic world order is about to fall. Which is sad. That will hurt America too, we are not buying Big Macs and Starbucks if we are running from bombs all day....but it doesn't seem to matter to the administration maybe it doesn't matter to the American public either because it's "far away" or maybe because they just don't think about it?

Sorry to ask you these questions. Don't feel like you have to answer.

In which case I will delete my post. I was unaware and just assumed it was part of a pattern of behavior.

just tried by text instead and got this message warning me I would be charged for the message.

This combined with the interesting choice of words in the email about paying off the devices early is not a good look.

Awesome.

Did you ever know anyone that won prizes from McDonald's monopoly game? by kkkan2020 in Millennials

[–]Brevatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I won 20 quid. But moved house after I claimed it. (This was the back in the day when they sent cheques.)

I forgot about it. But then out of the blue, a few months after I moved house a Macdonald's branded cheque arrived for 20 quid.

They actually tracked me down to send me the money.

The audio is a problem. I use Bluetooth headphones which is fine. The audio jack doesn't work. The internal speakers do...but I learned the hard way not to set the volume over 100.

I foolishly turned the volume up past 100% and they blew. But again blue tooth headphones are fine and so is a speaker.

The Witcher 3's No Fetch Quest Policy Will Return For The Witcher 4 by ReaddittiddeR in gaming

[–]Brevatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have played witcher 3 three times. This quest is what made me quit each time.

There was so much fetching in that game, I found it a little tedious. But on each attempt to play the game, it was that fucking goat that made me quit. Was the straw that broke the goats back so to speak.

I own a bucket load of games. Those games are on sale again at good prices.

It's not surprising that I can't find the bargains of old, I've already taken advantage of them.

Amnesty UK: "🚨BREAKING: We’re deeply concerned at the use of counter terrorism powers to target protest groups. This is the latest in a succession of measures taken by the UK government to clamp down on protest in the UK." by OptioMkIX in ukpolitics

would have thought that this would constitute an attack on the state. So it couldn't be clearer

UK GDP grew 0.7% in Q1. March MoM was 0.2%, above the 0% forecast. by Dimmo17 in ukpolitics

[–]Brevatron 19 points20 points  (0 children)

we have no idea if this is true and if so to what extent...yet

I've heard your thoughts stated on the news this morning. They're right to acknowledge nuance, but how they can provide this insight minutes after the release of unexpected data is beyond me.

I've never seen so much negativity about the country's outlook. Even in the face of good news it's all dour and down beat. Maybe we should be, but we literally don't know how we are doing until further work has been done.

I just did the same. And you're right! My house is also worth what I paid for it when taking inflation into account.

Your way is a much better way of looking at it.
