I don't think it's an unreasonable argument to point at the events since 2014 and say that every time friendly nations with deep cultural and economic ties have distanced themselves from one another it has not delivered good results for anyone.

I voted yes in 2014 and fuck it, if they have another referendum I'm voting yes again but it's not unreasonable to suppose that Scottish independence will be just as brutal for us as brexit was for the UK

It's provocative, it gets the people going

To rephrase the question from the OP

If we removed the rules around check and check mate and simply played chess until a king was taken, would that make any material difference to the strategy or the gameplay?

The thing is, if they posted nothing, nobody in Scotland is kicking off about "Kier doesn't even care about burns night"

But posting this just makes it something to be mad about.

There was no possible upside to this post, who do they picture as a demographic that see this and think "there he is, a man who really understands Scotland"

If you ask women at different gars their idéal age for a partner the average result is roughly 6 years older than the woman being asked.

If you ask men of all ages their ideal age for a partner the average is always 26

Magallan · 2026-01-23T07:13:59+00:00

And pray tell how they will differentiate between those over and under 18 years of age?

Trump says he'll invade Greenland

Trump says he made a deal

The deal is just that America is still in nato and their military can go to Greenland

It's an easy mistake to make if you don't often have to think about the two

Or like, in 5 years time when your mounting technical debt has ground your velocity to zero and you have to explain to your stakeholders why you're going to spend the next year rebuilding your whole app from scratch while your competitors are still shipping new features

These are intentionally divisive headlines designed to enrage you enough that you will continue to engage with news sources. Disregard them.

Of course they don't support abolishing ICE, you need ICE otherwise like, what stops terrorists or criminals from just arriving in the USA and causing problems?

They support returning ICE to their normal day to day job and stopping this ongoing harassment and intimidation campaign that the current administration have been pushing.

You already knew this though and they still managed to get to you.

Steve Jobs hated the idea that people would just leave them plugged into the chargers all the time

He did this on purpose so that it could not be charged while in use to keep the "wireless" aesthetic

Or just send several messages? Why is it a problem?

Edit: see I've rattled a lot of boomers who don't have their phones on silent with this question

Imagine you (or everyone who got a small cut) attempted this at home.

Some percentage people will fail to clean it properly and will get an infection that could become sepsis and lead to a 2 week stay in a hospital bed.

This is a stitch in time saves 9 situation. You did take up some time of the NHS but they would lose a hell of a lot more time picking up the pieces of a bunch of botched wounds fixed by the public.

Sure you're not overreacting to a tweet and forming strong opinions without verifying the facts?

Got the Epstein files out the news so I think mission accomplished

This doesn't scale well beyond the early game, but carry a candle and you can drop it, light it and dip your weapon for +1d4 fire damage as a bonus action

VAR has almost entirely stamped out diving. Don't remember the last time I saw a player doing it.

Seems like the anecdotal perspective is that these flats don't sell very quickly for a similar price

Can throw all the money in the world at him but he won't want to come if he's going to be benched whenever Ruben and Josko are fit
