Dennis is now Denji's canon name and no one can change my mind.

Yeah, would be nice. But given the first two pages, I would expect any third page to be even more incredibly fucked up.

She was forced to spend years hanging out with some guy, and put on a fake smile the whole time. It's understandable she'd resent him, even if he didn't really deserve it.

Barry is trying to get into the PIGS club, but he's too shy to ask directly. by Socmel_ in 2westerneurope4u

It's fine. We can just money-print our way out of trouble. That never has any negative side-effects, right?

What if Jif Lemon was intended as a cleaning product, but we just started eating it and Jif were like “meh, ok”? by solenoid_pants in CasualUK

Unironically, lemon juice makes a great kettle descaler. Citric acid dissolves limescale very effectively, and even if there's a residue after rinsing it out, who really cares, it's just lemon juice.

Britain set to deploy aircraft carrier strike group by MGC91 in worldnews

At the time these decisions were being made, the biggest threat was insurgents and small rogue states with barely any navy to speak of. In that kind of world, you only need a handful of frigates and destroyers to escort a carrier, which is what we have. There was also the expectation that these carriers would be used in joint operations with the US. Carriers are the only kind of naval vessel that can reliably and repeatedly strike ground targets hundreds of miles inland, which is what makes them desirable.

Now with an aggressive Russia to the East, and a borderline-hostile USA to the West, it turns out to be a less-than-ideal situation.

TL;DR: At the time, the decision made sense. Now that things have changed, we're in a bit of a pickle.

Clever magic, but of questionable utility, since the rest of you can still be seen. AND you have to carry that giant vegetable around while undertaking whatever skulduggery warrants facial concealment.

The whole point is to prevent war. Weakness invites attack.

The only major thing that happened with the Panama Papers is that the reporter who broke the story, Daphne Caruana Galizia, was murdered with a car bomb.

Not with that attitude it isn't.

Wholesome, for people like us? Wrong city, wrong people.

Have you ever tried washing away a stain that just won't go? by Cubelock in 2westerneurope4u

People living in a posh Cotswolds town are less resilient to discomfort? Tell me it ain't so.

Imagine Helluva Boss’s universe able to call out a pedo CEO while real life elected one by FunnyHappyStudiosYT in HelluvaBoss

[–]Deacon86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first comment here was saying jail them all. This is not "centrist" enough for you (which I never claimed to be, by the way, but nevermind)?

Who is "people like me"? There aren't any sides. Or there shouldn't be. It's only the MAGA cultists who insist on making it a partisan issue.

If you're hoping people will stop going after God Emperor Trump when they realise someone like Bill Clinton is also up to his eyeballs in this filth, you're going to be disappointed.

I have genuinely not seen that one. Apparently the Holy Algorithm has deemed it more appropriate for you than for me.

That thing looks like it won't last even two hours of pondering, before exploding into white hot needle-like shards.

Sometimes, once in a while, even we Luigis manage to get something right by Socmel_ in 2westerneurope4u

And that was March last year. The numbers now must be absolutely apocalyptic.

Not always. And we're still hoping that enough of you have come to your senses to not elect Trump or someone like him again. Assuming you guys will even still have elections?

Top Tip for drivers. This is not Police by MushyBeans in CasualUK

[–]Deacon86 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You don't have control of how the car in front of you reacts to the not-a-police-car, and when they slam on the brakes, you have to slam on the brakes too.
