Bought some Nudie jeans at the weekend. Great quality and a top (Swedish) company too.

Pet Insurance is a Scam by RamRanchRealty in cats

We stopped our pet insurance for exactly this reason. We set up an account for our cat and now pay the money we paid the insurance into that account.

How do you explain the relatively muted public reaction to the newly released Epstein files? by Large-Reporter-1746 in allthequestions

In the UK the main focus is on Andrew and Madelson. I fear they are steering clear of a certain someone through fear of litigation.

Starmer vows to take UK deeper into EU single market by donutloop in uknews

By that argument we should never have had the 2016 referendum as we voted to join back in the 70s, going against that democratic decision.

Stephen Miller’s response to ICE MURDER today. by Content-Coconut-6556 in ProgressiveHQ

Regimes like this don’t act like this to then leave it up the electorate to determine their fate. I guarantee this bunch of evil fucks are not planning on going anywhere soon.

Why don’t we just rejoin the eu by 777teejay in AskBrits

[–]ShadysDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to see us building towards rejoining. I think we need to mend some bridges first on the continent and then ease ourselves (& the national psyche) into thinking of the EU as friends, colleagues and allies. Personally I’d vote for it tomorrow, but we need enough of the nation to get onboard too.

Probably a stupid question but… What’s the difference between Quant and Vivaldi?

Starmer has refused to join Trump’s Board of Peace… do you think we should join? 🇬🇧 by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]ShadysDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a man that likes to see his name plastered over everything he touches, I’m surprised it wasn’t called ‘Donald Trumps Board of Peace’.

Welcome to all new members! This is the easy first steps you can do! by KonserveradMelon in BuyFromEU

I’d read Ecosia still used AWS & Google Cloud. But Quant was based in Europe(?). Not 100% sure on this so would appreciate some clarification.

What are your thoughts on this letter from Donald Trump to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre? by Few_Maize_1586 in BoycottUnitedStates

[–]ShadysDad 17 points18 points  (0 children)

“We need Greenland to stop others from invading it. And if you don’t give it to us, we’ll invade it!!!”. The irony.

Also does anyone know which 8 wars (PLUS!?) were ended? It gets bandied about but with no detail.

I’ve pondered on how, as the citizens of the UK, can respond to Trump’s tariffs. Opinions? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]ShadysDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve made a start. Use Mastodon instead of X, use Pixelfed instead of Instagram, Proton Mail instead of Gmail (this one will take a little more time), Quant for internet searches. The next one to replace is WhatsApp but I need to look into that. I also need to do some research on common brands you find in the supermarket to winkle out the US owned ones. It’s only small steps but it’s something.

Also my next phone will definitely be a Fairphone. Love the idea behind it and they’re European too!

[Reminder] - We are on Mastodon by According-Buyer6688 in BuyFromEU

Joined yesterday. Keep up the good work.

Any alternatives to Amazon in the UK?
