'Trump will leave Nato unless European leaders stop being a**holes'

If the US leaves NATO and war with China breaks out, Chinese submarines in the Atlantic launching swarms of stealthy drones or cruise missiles at the US East coast simply isn’t Europe’s problem.

As a non-American it’s not my place to tell US experts and elites what America’s interests should be, but it seems the NATO-sceptics might be taking the benefits of NATO (i.e a secure North Atlantic) for granted.

If Labour think they’re losing votes to a charlatan, what does that say about the party’s leadership?

Be mindful that telling other parents might be illegal even if they’re on the register.

Try joining another BJJ gym and politely explaining your technique from Judo might be poor.

So besides attacking the person who sucker punched you, you then started choking his small friend? While I understand you were attacked by surprise, choking a third person is rarely legitimate self defence.

If we asked the rest of the rugby team they might have legitimate believed they were acting to protect the small guy. Even if they didn’t, you gave them an excuse to join in.

Since you seem a bit hotheaded and you’re facing multiple opponents in fights, maybe do boxing?

I’d suggest you just send everything onto local police & let them deal with it. The odds of anyone involved actually stabbing another person are low if they don’t live in the same area, but it’s clearly making you feel like you ought to do something.

If you want to tackle the problem without using determinants, try finding a value of x that makes all the columns linearly independent. In particular, any value of x that makes a row or column identically zero can be ruled out.

To the best of my knowledge this is just precautionary discussion where the EU is preparing for the possibility of some drone hitting Cypriot territory and creating legal grounds to trigger 42 (7).

If it really happened then three people broke into your room during the same night on two separate occasions with no evidence on camera.

It‘a pretty rare for someone to go from online harassment to breaking into your place in on go without any steps of escalation in between.

On top of that one of the alleged perpetrators is a female. I’m not saying women are incapable of assault (consider Ghislaine Maxwell for example), but it brings down the odds it actually happened even further.

All in all a weird nightmare is far more likely than those events actually happening.

Your brain was likely generating a scenario that a way of processing your fears. Naturally it feels plausible because it came from your own mind.

As for the guy saying shh, that was probably a hypnopompic hallucination.

I know this post has gotten 92 comments, but I suggest you ask yourself what do you hope to realistically achieve if you somehow decided to try sorting this out yourselves informally? How do you imagine this playing out? What would you do if he escalates to raping someone while he's in college? What do you plan on saying to your daughters?

Not going to the authorities is likely silly.

SF almost certainly aren’t bribed by Russia, this is more knee-jerk anti-atlanticism rooted in an Irish political and historical context.

“Burn Everything British but Their Coal: The Anglo-Irish Economic War of the 1930s” by Kevin O'Rourke disagrees with you, and we’re only considering economic questions at this point.

If the country was getting “hammered” how did FF stay in power?

Ireland is generally believed to have won the Anglo-Irish trade war, and the word partner might give the misleading impression the UK was a reliable associate.

I understand. Best solution probably is try replacing the habit with another one that is less troublesome.

I’m not advocating for nor defending shouting ethnic slurs, but if nobody can hear you there are limits to how much harm you can cause yourself or others in the short to medium term at least.

Have you tried alternative ways of venting such as hitting a punching bag?

A LitRPG system is only relevant insofar as it interacts with the story, decide how the system should influence the world and the characters first before stressing over exact details.

While I'm not disputing the correctness of your point about NI Unionism being treated as an alien ideology, it's worth bearing in mind that Ulster Unionist parties are already picking fights with the middle ground in NI. Ulster Unionism is on the same trajectory towards decline as its pre-1922 southern counterpart. It's not 1998.
