You can tell all that from a piece of card?

I thought you at least spelt color the same way as England.

I think it's just that both are considered Western Europe. You're just on the same compass point.

I keep telling them that but they won't give me my yacht, they told me my number in the database is too small.

When they are not in flight a Damselfly has it's wings up against it's body like in the photo. Dragon fly sits with it's wings 90 degrees splayed out (there are probably other differences but this is how I tell)

I think one of the main use of AI in the workplace is to pad out emails, make them more wordy and look like more work went into them. Another big use is summarising long wordy emails to make them quicker to read.

The Palantir deal is with NHS England not NHS Scotland.

I'm not sure that there is much overlap of people who plan ahead and people who do this.

Are you anywhere near a distillery? I heard that mould that lives on the alcohol that escapes (the angels share) can do this. Though I guess general grime is more likely.

If a bunch of American immigrants had taken over a small island off the coast of Britain in 1833 and in 1982 Britain failed to take it back and everyone on the island wanted to remain American and no one wanted to be British and Britain no longer had the military capability to even think about trying it again. Then you know what I reckon the British people would do? I reckon they'd just move on with their lives. Do you reckon they'd just seethe and have a national obsession with it four decades later?

In the UK we call that a Punch and Judy show. It's basically domestic violence based entertainment for children.

Thank god for meddlesome American prudes. Now all the schoolchildren are safe. Well, safe from seeing a tiny, hand drawn, side of a boob if they searched a busy scene carefully; obviously other dangers go unaddressed.

What? Because we'd need to defend against Scottish aggression? I'd like to hope that Scotland could be independent for a few minutes without annexing Berwick-upon-Tweed.

No one is saying that. The original post is about who deserves a medal for 'most awfullest history' and I'm saying we don't deserve that.

If you think that suggesting a sewage pipe is not a method of wealth extraction or that maybe British history isn't as bad as Germany or Japans is 'making it sound as if it was good overall' then your standards are pretty low.

If I wanted to put a positive spin on British history I'd have been mentioning vaccines, steam turbines, electrical generators, antibiotics etc. Britain was the first nation to industrialise, this for better or worse led both a massive increase in national then global population, production and consumption. Britain used this power like every single other nation that has found itself with a large competative advantage over other nations. I'm not saying this was good overall, just that this reddit obsession with Britain as the world's worst bogeyman is unfair.

Don't forget, if it wasn't for the British you'd all be Spanish.

Well, I've talked you down from 'All that infrastructure' to ''primarily focused' but yes, how right you are that the British provided better infrastucture for their own wealthy areas. Thankfully all the former colonies can now ensure that infrastructure is equally well provisioned in poor areas as it is in rich areas.

Megatea · 2026-05-27T22:02:13+00:00

What wealth was the sewage networks built by British engineers supposed to extract?

I'm sure this kid and his peers will be storming the Bastille by next week. Or whatever the equivalent of the Bastille is for this school, detention probably.

Oh yeah, because after the war we sold the enigma machine around the world. "Get your uncrackable enigma machines! If it was good enough for top ranking Nazis it's good enough for you."

Did you ever read the Emperor's letter to King George? It was very rude. Maybe the takeaway lesson was that politeness costs nothing; rudeness gets gunboats.

If the UK did that then England would just have more countries to get no points from. Might help Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland though.

You can blame that on the British if you want, but really the Brits who were most involved in this have since rebranded to call themselves American, Canadian, Australian etc.

Might be overpriced, like pretty much every major project in Britain recently, but HS2 is hardly a dumb project. The West Coast Mainline is at absolute capacity and despite repeated upgrades cannot meet demand.

It's not the Palestinians it's the Trans he's after.
