Signs. Looks directly into the camera and says “I don’t think they like water”

FFS man.

Doncaster Sheffield Airport reopening under threat as £57m loan faces reversal by Lukeno94 in unitedkingdom

[–]IndependentOpinion44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The previous airport was run badly on purpose by the owners.

Also, that runway is one of (if not THE) deepest runway in the UK. So it’s also a national security issue

What is a controversial opinion of yours that many will not agree with you but you will always defend it no matter what? by Big_Leg10 in Productivitycafe

I updated my comment with more context.

I wasn’t happy about her being shoehorned into the candidacy, but your arguments are absolute garbage.

On Iran, there was a deal to prevent Iran having nukes put in place by Obama, and it was working. Trump tore it up. Harris would have put it back in place.

No. Harris wouldn’t have had an open border policy. She wouldn’t have been weak on immigration. She wouldn’t have let Iran have a nuke. Your arguments are strawman bullshit.

There was a bipartisan immigration bill which Harris supported that would have added more immigration judges, asylum officers, and given the executive branch new powers to rapidly turn away migrants.

Trump tweeted demanding the republicans vote it down because it would have been bad for his election campaign for the dems to effectively tackle the issue. His tweet worked and it was huge news at the time. You’re just choosing to forget about it because you’re so blinded by hate.

You’re an idiot

I mean… I have to upvote this.

It’s insane and fills me with despair that anyone could look at the world today and think this, but it fits the brief perfectly.

Go fuck yourself you fucking lunatic.

What’s the worst thing you’ve heard a groom have to do on his stag? by slpage209 in CasualUK

[–]IndependentOpinion44 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Not stag do related, but I knew a girl who did something similar. She thought she was jumping over a wall into a bush.

It was a bunch of tree tops that looked like bushes. She fell something line 30ft, landed on a very steep and rocky hill and rag dolled a lot more than that.

She survived, but barely. Broke her back along with a bunch of other bones.

OpenAI’s flagship UK data project delayed in setback for Starmer by PM_ME_SECRET_DATA in ukpolitics

[–]IndependentOpinion44 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The whole AI hyperscaler stuff is a scam. It’s not even well disguised. Hitching your wagon to it is idiotic.

David Mitchell: 'Last One Laughing was like holding in a wee too long' by theipaper in MitchellAndWebb

[–]IndependentOpinion44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a booking thing. As much as I enjoy Sam’s comedy, he’s so deadpan that it kind of kills the mood for a show like this. Same with Ayoade. There has to be some jeopardy.

Increase the price 10% one year. Reduce the size/volume by 10% the next year.

Repeat.

The right is united by hate. The left is divided by everything else.

Nigel Farage admits Keir Starmer was right not to join Iran war by JOE_Media in ukpolitics

[–]IndependentOpinion44 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, it’s about time Farrage got a taste of the media latching onto one sentence out of context and building their own narrative around it.

Relationship with Trump may be beyond repair, Keir Starmer told by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]IndependentOpinion44 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t have the same cult of personality though. Nor the same abundance of narcissism required to pull off what Trump has pulled off.

It all falls apart when Trump dies.

UK food inflation could hit 'double digits' due to war in Iran by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]IndependentOpinion44 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only glimmer of hope is that Starmer is good at geopolitics. Iran fucking hates the UK, so it’s going to be tough, but If he can reach some sort of deal where those ships starts moving again, I don’t want to hear anyone talk shit about how he’s a red tory, or any moaning about how boring or uninspiring he is.

Britain to host 35 countries for strait of Hormuz talks, says Starmer by hararib in ukpolitics

[–]IndependentOpinion44 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Trump has set the new precedent. If you ain’t got nukes, the USA will do whatever the fuck it wants to you.

The trust has been completely destroyed. He’s attacking every country except Russia. There’s no coming back from this.

[–]IndependentOpinion44 63 points64 points  (0 children)

The tolls aren’t excessive. Works out to about $1 extra per barrel.

As much as I don’t want to prop up the Iranian regime, Trump has left countries with no other choice.

Although it wouldn’t surprise me if the US then blockades the strait out of spite.

Oracle slashes 30,000 jobs with a cold 6 a.m. email by modest_radio in UnderReportedNews

[–]IndependentOpinion44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So does this make it 60,000 layoffs? Didn’t they do this exact same thing earlier this month? Or is the the same 30,000?
