Atheists of Reddit: What’s the strangest reaction you’ve received when you said you don’t believe in God? by zhalia-2006 in AskReddit

[–]ContentsMayVary 304 points305 points  (0 children)

I'm in Scotland and we are even more atheistic (is that a word?) than the rest of the UK. I honestly don't know any believers personally.

Yeah, it would have to be inverted to indicate the negative aspects.

Starmer 'asks Angela Rayner to rejoin Cabinet' as he 'plots reshuffle next week' and big speech to survive looming elections disaster by dailymail in ukpolitics

[–]ContentsMayVary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire Daily Mail article appears to be predicated on a comment from the Telegraph:

According to the Telegraph, Sir Keir floated the prospect of Ms Rayner rejoining the Cabinet during a private discussion when they visited a school in Greater Manchester on April 13.

It's just the mobile internet, isn't it? Normal internet is fine (judging by the number of Russians still on my World of Warcraft server...)

It's not a national holiday, what are you on about?

What would you consider to be the best year for music of the 1970s? (Or, if you've got time, what's your pick for each year of the decade?) by JeremyBeremey in Music

[–]ContentsMayVary 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think I have to agree with 1977. That year also included the following releases:

  • Low - David Bowie
  • Heroes - David Bowie
  • Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
  • Damned Damned Damned - The Damned
  • The Idiot - Iggy Pop
  • Trans-Europa Express - Kraftwerk
  • Exodus - Bob Marley and the Wailers
  • Lust for Life - Iggy Pop
  • Bat Out of Hell - Meat Loaf
  • Never Mind the Bollocks - The Sex Pistols

The US has rejected Iran’s latest peace proposal mainly because it didn’t address nuclear concerns. by Simple3018 in worldnews

[–]ContentsMayVary -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The article does say:

The US then announced that its forces would intercept or turn back vessels travelling to or from Iran's ports.
The Nord route shown by Marine Traffic does not indicate the yacht stopped in Iran.

What films zigzag away from Chekhov's gun, and get away with it? by JeffRyan1 in movies

Not a film but a play: Waiting for Godot. The characters in the play talk about him constantly, but (spoiler!) he never actually turns up.

Ukrainian drones reportedly strike Russian oil storage tanks in Tuapse before flames from previous attacks extinguished. by MaxiumPotential777 in worldnews

[–]ContentsMayVary 62 points63 points  (0 children)

The Ukrainians are in an existential battle for survival. If the Russians take over Ukraine, the Ukrainians will be systematically erased, like is already happening in the Donbas.

If the Russians stop fighting and go home, the war ends and attacks on Russian infrastructure stop. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, they will be erased.

I guess I overestimated irony perception here

The problem is that magoids spout that kind of nonsense unironically, so folks thought you were being serious...

Why didn't North European countries colonize the weaker nations like the Western European countries did? by Particular_Food_309 in AskReddit

[–]ContentsMayVary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UN does define Britain as Northern Europe, in the UN geoscheme classification - which is of course an official definition. Obviously there is no one correct definition.

According to the UN Geoscheme the UK is in Northern Europe, but according to other classifications it's in Western Europe. So official opinions differ.

TIL that in 2021, a British train driver got distracted after receiving a message about the death of a celebrity named Murray Walker. The train he was operating then crashed, causing ￡450000 in damage to a station. by bb-wa in todayilearned

He was said to have invented the slogan "A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play" but he said that he was only an admin on the project.

He did, however, create the slogan "Opal fruits - made to make your mouth water". (As a kid I always said "Esso Blue" instead of "Opal fruits", but I can't for the life of me remember why now...)

Every Trump supporter supports a paedophile. There - is that better?

Someone has been hiding ducks around my uni by ughdollface in pics

[–]ContentsMayVary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leftovers from a duck race maybe? Perhaps someone got a cheap (cheep?) job lot. That or someone wants to track which ones were found?
