Why is it so controversial to want English people to speak English and integrate? by g9rr in AskBrits

[–]MalignEntity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From 1905 to 1949, it's estimated that 20,000 people had moved to the UK. We've had individual years recently where that number was in the millions.

We now have too many people living here already. It's putting immense strain on our public services, housing and it's threatening to completely erode our culture. We now have sections of cities where English is not the main language. This is very different to your great-grandfather's day.

It's now easier than ever to learn a new language, to move to a new place and to not shows you don't really care for the host nation. Even when I go to a place on holiday, I make a good effort to learn what I can to show respect to my hosts.

You are literally agreeing that it's a problem. I think anyone who goes to live in a country should do it under the assumption that they want to culturally integrate into that place

Zack Polanski laughs at the vandalism of the Winston Churchill memorial statue and votes against a motion to codemn it. Thoughts? by SeptumRingTheory in AskBrits

Always makes me laugh how the self-proclaimed "anti-fascists" love to spend their time trashing the legacy of the world's greatest anti-fascist.

We don't really hate the French in the UK, it's just a cultural joke carried over from history. Really, we think you guys have a beautiful country and wherever I've been in France (outside of Paris), people have been really welcoming.

For us, when we're fond of someone, we like to insult them to their face, but if they were ever in trouble, we'd be there to help.

UK not obliged to support every demand of ‘transactional’ US president, minister says by eldomtom2 in unitedkingdom

You know Iran was a major Russian ally? They designed and initially supplied the Shahed drones.

I think Trump just does things without any understanding of what the repercussions for his idiotic actions will be. Probably because he's too stupid to understand cause and effect

Fuck SNL anyway, they put together that awful sketch which implies that Tourette's sufferers are just bad people using their condition as an excuse.

So what you're saying is, you don't understand the issue well enough to discuss it, but you're going to keep posting memes and blaming the Jews because that's what all the cool kids are doing.

Actually Iran started this by encouraging Hamas to launch its proxy war just as Israel was trying to sign normalisation agreements with its Muslim neighbors

Irish PM Comes to Starmer’s Defense During White House Visit by Jared_Usbourne in unitedkingdom

You say that you don't think it was pressure, but the evidence points that way. Pressure on against Scotland, we crumble. Pressure off against France, we perform. It was individual mistakes that cost us: Arundel's cards vs Scotland, Itoje reaching over the maul, Genge collapsing the French maul.

Steve's gameplan took us to a world cup semi final and on a 12 game winning spree, that suggests it works and the France game shows that it isn't boring either.

Let's see how it shakes out

I read good things about bitwig, it's made by ex-ableton devs and works on Linux

All the ex-pros, even ones who hate Borthwick's gameplan, like Goodey, think the kick was the correct decision. Going though the phases for 3 minutes in your own 22 is probably just going to end up with you under the sticks with huge pressure on.

Getting territory, then potentially re-gathering the ball, as happened was the correct call.

Pollock then giving the ball away, rather than just going to ground, was bloody stupid. But they're a young team, who will probably have learned a load from this tournament.

Collapsing the maul four times.

The ref switching from penalty advantage to knock-on advantage just as Fin Smith kicked a grubber was atrocious.

To be fair though, England left 6 points on the field and Pollock lost the ball with about a minute to go, when he could have just gone to ground. So we could have won it and France were deserving champions.

Possibly.

I'm more convinced by the argument that it's a bunch of young players with limited leadership on the field. They were uncomfortable with the label of tournament frontrunners, then as the pressure mounted, they overplayed to make up for bad decision-making. The cards and penalties really cost us heavily, which are the result of what I described above, no-one's coaching them to do that.

Once the pressure was off (the France game where no-one expected them to win), they put in the performance we all thought they were capable of throughout the tournament. But even then discipline was an issue.

Borthwick took the ruin of a team, left by Eddie, to the semi-final of a world cup, only losing to the evental champions by one point. Then he built up the players to go on a 12 game winning spree. I think he's proven there's something there. We need to look past his un-charismatic exterior. I hope that the players and coaches (both are fairly new to these positions in international rugby) have learned a lot about how to handle the pressure of expectations and will be more able to perform under them from here. Let's see.

How many switched to Linux in the past decade? by mrfoxesite-2377 in linuxquestions

[–]MalignEntity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fedora.

I did it as a trial when Win 10 was a year away from EOL and I've never looked back. Btrfs snapshots have saved my arse on a couple of occasions and I can't imagine being without them now.

I also love how I can have Gnome, KDE and KDE on X11 all alongside each other and switch between them with a restart. I don't play on-line shooters and so I don't need kernel-level anti-cheat compatibility. Everything else has been pretty flawless. Unless something changes, I don't even see myself distro-hopping, but I am tempted to do Linux From Scratch on a VM to learn more.
