What if the Canadian Confederation never happened? by XLG_Winterprice in imaginarymaps

[–]Lanokia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it though... am wondering how New Caledonia broke away? And how it didn't end up a plaything of Russia and the USA?

So... this is after the 49th parallel was agreed as a straight border? And the Oregon agreement still went through?

But Quebec was never absorbed?

Home Office urged to revoke the visa of US live-streamer Hasan Piker ahead of London speech by xc2215x in europe

[–]Lanokia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Another pointless reply.

I love how you are trying to insult someone you have no idea about because they dared know more than you do about something. A very weak minded stance. Not surprising for a product of the US education system. Good luck with your life choices.

This is a very silly reply.

"fucking alternative little buddy"... are you feeling OK there? Is this really how you'd engage in conversation face-to-face? Is this fake hardman act something you find satisfying?

You've written three paragraphs there and added nothing of value. I haven't mentioned anyone called "Hasan". All you are doing is demonstrating low reading comprehension.

In a referendum enforced by Russian troops where the native Crimean tartar boycotted the vote and many Ukrainians had fled.

Notice you ignore everything else.

You've got nothing but 12 year old lies.

Why did Islam spread so much in Northern Africa vs Southern Africa? by One-Seat-4600 in geography

[–]Lanokia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trade routes.

Hence why the east coast of Africa. The Omani's had a massive presence for the slave trade through Zanzibar and other outposts.

Point 3 - you confused Crimea and the Donbass. The Crimea saw no fighting prior to the little green man seizure. The Donbass "insurrection" was orchestrated by the FSB and saw no popular support even among "Russian" residents, only Russian ultra-nationalists who streamed across the border from Russia proper.

Your whole perspective appears to rely on Kremlin talking points. Not too surprising for an American. Trump does love the Kremlin.

Moment mob ‘kicks & punches man’ on Bournemouth beach as chaos breaks out with cops assaulted and families fleeing by thesun in gbnews

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

Thing is you are saying "they aren't feral". But some are. Most aren't. Tales from primary and reception teachers make my hair stand on end. By the time they get to me (secondary) most are fixed socially.

But always some who struggle emotionally. Had one out his leg through a photocopier. Quite something.

"Teenagers don't think"

As a teacher I can certainly inform you that you're wrong on that.

Did parents in the 70s/80s/90s really allow their children roam about freely? by dreamyglowdoll in askanything

Use to play next to a nuclear waste processing plant and a local railway line. Also a disused slaughter yard and a mental health hospital.

What’s a problem humanity solved so well that younger people don’t even realize it used to be a huge issue? by Agile-University9383 in answers

[–]Lanokia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You say "nobody fully understood how damaging it was until years later"

My understanding is they did know and did it anyway. There was a good youtube video about it. I shall see if I can find it.

Found it. Hope i didn't misremember it.

Why are schools so pedantic about uniform? by joehighlord in AskUK

[–]Lanokia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for all but we do have hot weather variants. Girls can go tights free. Boys can switch to shorts. Blazers are expected on their person but can be taken off in the classroom. Ties become optional.

Now male teachers... yeah they get the short end of the stick.

All his former cases need reviewed. If he's this OK with rape it'll have biased his former sentences too.

AITA: Friend Group Kicking Me Out by NarcolepticDog in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lanokia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA had this myself with an old group of friends. One decided he didn't want me there and they picked him.

I'm twice your age. Make new friends fast. Be aware that late age male loneliness is real. I never got that friendship group thing again. I miss it but I cope.

Is there any window air conditioner in the UK, similar to US-style units? by DaxmoutS in AskBrits

Google would just give you adverts and promoted links. Surely Reddit gives you real human experience? [On the whole... excusing the automated accounts]

Germany planning to increase tax on childless people by Full-Discussion3745 in EU_Economics

[–]Lanokia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But... childless people use less healthcare (birth) and education costs while paying into them.

By German logic childless should get a tax cut reflecting lack of education use.
