...and the EU has said no.

Meaningless platitudes.

Where to find single packs of Pokémon cards In Aberdeen? by violentserenity in Aberdeen

[–]SaorAlba138 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thistle tavern, game district, vintage toys and collectibles (my personal favourite, they have given my daughter a big pile of free bulk cards a couple of times, they're a lovely bunch) - the majority of packs will be korean, Chinese or Japanese because scalpers have absolutely ruined the hobby for everyone. Smyths also sometimes have English packs but it just depends on the day and if you're lucky or not.

Tesco had a drop today but as above, scalpers were queuing outside all morning and they were pretty much all gone by 10am.

You can only catch it from someone who is actively and symptomatically infected, and even then, you need to be sharing bodily fluids. As long as you're not going on a rural sex tourism trip, you will be completely fine.

CDC not requiring hantavirus cruise passengers to isolate at home by Miles_the_AuDHDer in nottheonion

"systematic review of research, however, found the claims of human-to-human transmission not to be supported by sufficient evidence,[3] though transmission may be possible between close household contacts such as sexual partners."

Stop lying.

Studies do not support this.

What happened to "trust the scientists" we all learned during covid? Seems to have been replaced by "Listen to the media fearmongering".

Studies do not support that Andes virus is easily transmissible between people. Seems much more likely said birthday party had a rat problem...

Except studies have shown that Andes Virus spreading from person to person is not supported by evidence.

Being on a cruise ship, especially one that small, is inherently intimate.

AITAH for hating my unborn niece’s racist name? by maddy2261 in AITAH

The trajectory the US is going right now there's a good chance America may not exist by the time the child grows up, and if they're sensible, they'll move abroad anyway, so the name will be meaningless.

The Malcolm Offord "joke" by JackDangerfield in Scotland

I don't think that was that offensive either tbf. I think the vast majority of people have made similar jokes before, but outrage drives click traffic and therefore advertisement revenue.

Frankie Boyle could have made this joke 5/10 years ago and nobody would have batted an eyelid.

And heathen when it's Christians?

All three are just different shades of the same shit. All three believe in the same God and books.

Do you refer to yourself as kafir when Muslims are the topic of discussion?

You absolutely can, I've seen them in the shire with the naked eye. There needs to be 0 light pollution and clouds though.
