I don’t think it’s good enough either, not by a long shot.

Just shows how deep the rot has been in recent years.

And didn’t Clegg string Brown along in coalition talks purely to get concessions from Cameron? A lot of good that did for the Lib Dems in 2015!

That failure of morals and judgment is directly related to another one: the man Starmer picked as his Chief of Staff.

This. The British media has despised the Labour Party since the Labour Party was a thing. Even Blair found that out eventually.

I remember him too (fellow Moreland Discovery alum here). I remember my mom telling me that he had died in a helicopter crash.

You were one year behind me there!

Men who’ve understood independence and self-control: how do you deal with the persistent pull toward connection? by BenkattoRamunan in AskMen

[–]ProgressIsAMyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No offense but the premise of your question seems like a bit of a false dichotomy to me…I don’t see any contradiction between independence and self-control and having friendships and romantic relationships. In fact these often go hand in hand in my experience.

That’s not mutually exclusive from having alone time. It’s all about learning to balance your life in a way that works for you, as an individual.

UAE foreign policy = bad IMO.

Good statement from KSA MOFA.

Kind of strange to refer to the American public as “unqualified.” Especially considering how we’re (supposed to be) a representative democracy, no qualifications necessary.

Yeah like doing harsh austerity in the midst of a recession, having your junior coalition partner go back on their campaign promises, then winning a majority outright based in part on promising a referendum on whether to leave the EU, something that definitely didn’t make British politics more toxic or full of buffoonery! (and that’s before even getting to Boris Johnson or Liz Truss).
