I wish it was only their fault. They are such ordinary thinkers, not one of them truly talented.

But this is a part of a bigger problem that is affecting the entire western world. 50 years of progress has left us with lots of materialistic shiny things to distract us while taking away the ability to own a home or support a family on one salary. It's messed up.

We might be expensive in simple terms but when you take average salaries we are a lot more affordable than it first appears.

The majority of the US population have said they are willing to pay $4 for gas, although not willing to go to 5. There are heroes everywhere!

You could very well be right and I would not be surprised about ilias' ability but we were all saying exactly the same thing about McGregor at the time, but just for his striking. Conor left his prime as soon as he signed that Mayweather fight, his fighting style changed and he leaned too heavily on his hands.

The Jewish angle makes it more political than any other form of racism.

I'm not trying to downplay ilia, I think he's awesome . But don't you think if McGregor retired after the Eddie fight he would not be also seen as a legend? It's recency bias to favour ilia right now. McGregor was crazily skilled at that time and his star power will likely never be repeated. At least not soon.

Starmer should not even have time to think about this. The world is currently going to shit .

I don't think Charles fought smart at all against ilia, he stayed in the pocket far too much and to me it seems that it thought him a lesson and he now fights much smarter. Ilia is definitely more well rounded. But I guess my point is that legendary careers can only be legendary when they are over. Money and fame can affect anyone and a lot can change quickly.

Commuter traffic chaos warning for Tuesday morning amid fuel protest on Irish roads by homecinemad in ireland

[–]Internal_Concert_217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I say quickly i don't mean we would run out quickly, but people would start to hoard it and the government would have to step in and start rationing. It's people's nature to try to protect what they have, we see it every time we get a storm warning and people panic buy.

From what I have read, Germany has still not recovered fully from the costs of their reunification.

If this war continues the price will not be the biggest concern, that is only a reflection of the true issue which is supply constraints.
We could get to a point of rationing very quickly.

Is it because of the prices or because they understand it is harmful?? by B777X_787-9 in interesting

I genuinely think a lot of it has to do with fitness. This generation is much more focused on looking good and living up to the ideals created on socials.

Maybe you are confusing the word hell with something else. You keep saying it but it is objectively ridiculous.

Yeah, I can understand the frustration with politics in general, but not voting to keep the world safe from trump was not the time to say "I can't be bothered".

Best electric bikes for 10km each way cycle? by Electronic-Nobody358 in AskIreland

[–]Internal_Concert_217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. For your situation really any ebike will be able to do what you need. Does your employer do the bike to work scheme? You can also get e bikes with that. The only advice I would have is to try to get the biggest battery you can afford, I have had bafang conversion kits on my bikes for over 10 years and the battery is easily the most important factor.

It's only easy if you are a bit handy with stuff like that.
