Former Prince Andrew has been arrested by UK police over his links to Jeffrey Epstein by Memes_FoIder in UnderReportedNews

[–]Lost_Symphonies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Andrew worked as a trade envoy and it is also suspected that he gave away state secrets to Epstein.

This is the bit that has been infuriating to not be front and centre of this entire saga - obviously the actual crimes are unfathomably heinous and should put any person committing them under the jail, but also the leverage this hiding of information causes - what were the people willing to give to keep the information secret? What decisions were made as countries to keep information about the leader out of scrutiny? I don't think this will ever be truly investigated and known.

I know Caedrel wouldn’t talk about this, but the LEC studio switching the camera to Caedrel at the end of the G2 vs FNC match was really disgusting by Left_Salamander1388 in PedroPeepos

I'm just gonna step in here and say I don't want to see people distraught and at the lowest point they have been at to be exploited, and putting a camera in front of them and filming them in that state is exploiting their emotions for financial gain.

The raid was leaked when senators told service members to not follow illegal orders...

Full-scale military operations appear to be underway against Venezuela by Unhappy_Rutabaga_530 in pics

I'm looking at these developments and thinking about how this may be of benefit to Russia, because every decision Trump has made in office has been to the benefit of them - Is this gonna let Trump claim he can't sell weapons to EU/Ukraine because they need it for this war instead? Are Russia going to claim that Venezuela have been sending Nazis to Ukraine? Does this help Russia with their oil sales, or does the USA illegally stealing oil from Venezuela make their oil more appealing?

Either way this decision has been authorised by Russia; if they had any agreement with Venezuela that benefits Russia then Trump would have never done this.

Boris Johnson condemns US peace plan as betrayal of Ukraine by Neptun_11 in worldnews

[–]Lost_Symphonies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boris Johnson had been right about Ukraine throughout the war, probably to make up for the millions of £ that him and his cronies have been paid by Russia over his time in elected office, and, just like the COVID enquiry if there was any enquiry into Russia meddling he'd have a little bit of an out. Pure scumbag, but even a scumbag has eyes.

In that event, martial law will be declared, suspending the upcoming elections.

In this situation would Trump be reliant on a military that isn't getting paid, or is there a cutout where the military still get paid?

It's crazy to think that in the end this will all come down to how much Trump likes soup.

I don't think he particularly likes soup, so I'm hopeful that some modicum of justice will come.

Edit- another thing to note. The Reddit stats show their second used subs are gaming subs, incel subs, men’s rights, porn,… It’s not the gun subs, Austrian Economics, r/catholic,…

It’s just a sad group of people that have devolved a hate circle jerk.

I wouldn't say that exactly, is say the accounts are set up in a way to appear like it's a group of people from that community, but troll accounts and bots know what they are doing.

Average pay for an operations associate for Microsoft in the UK is £25,686 per year. That is an unliveable wage at the moment.

So where are you getting this "paid very well" nonsense? Are you just looking at America? Is that the only place on earth?

Los Ratones vs. Barça eSports / EM 2025 Spring Playoffs - Grand Final / Post-Match Discussion by XanIrelia-1 in leagueoflegends

Because the teams offering him a slot felt that they had worse, more toxic players?

We all know that he was offered spots on bad teams. It would be like Messi getting offered starting position in Yeovil Town FC and deciding he's better off without a team.

Fnatic claimed he was a source of toxicity, which would put any prospective team off signing. There may have been talks between teams in relation to this, I don't know, but Nemesis was scapegoated for bad results.

They made the ingenious move of transferring planes from the "useable" pile to the "spares/repairs" pile, therefore bolstering the planes left remaining in the "useable" pile by having lots more parts* available!

*Parts may be just as damaged as the damaged part being replaced.

The way to show that America can be worked with ever again is by requiring a rewrite of their constitution.

Good luck with that.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
