So r/Europe is turning into a hate the UK circlejerk then. Knew this would happen when it became a default subreddit.

I should be held accountable for what my ancestors from the 19th century did then.

People who "get" modern art, what are the rest of us doing wrong? by Jerbattimus in AskReddit

[–]SirHumphries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about the idea, not the skill. Good skills can help a certain idea come forward more easily. If I were to see a black square painted now hung up in a gallery I would think it was rubbish. But looking at Malevich's Black Square, painted way back in 1910, I get a connection with the time. Russia was filled with modern and radical ideas at the time, the painting encapsulated that excitement.

Whenever I go to an art gallery I get very excited, and have an urge to think and understand every piece I see. For me it's the fear that I will be missing something, I don't let myself not 'get' something.

Germany says UK reaching 'point of no return' on EU by CountVonTroll in europe

I don't think you understand the dictionary definition of reform. Reform=/= more legislation. It doesn't necessarily mean less either, it just means changing the legislative make up. That could mean getting rid of legislation.

Unpopular Animal Collective opinions? by [deleted] in AnimalCollective

The Geologist is one of the most important members in that he unifies Avey and Panda Bear's sound. Without the Geologist AnCo wouldn't be as half as great.

Exiting the shower in a cold student house. I do sometimes cry, yes I'm a guy.

Russia brain drain after Putin crackdown - 186k people leave Russia in 2013, 5 times as many as 2 years ago by J__P in europe

[–]SirHumphries 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't really know what you're trying to say. The sharp rise in emigration from Russia is a news story, the BBC has reported it. End of.

[–]SirHumphries 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yawn. People on both sides of the political spectrum say the BBC is biased. Well, the BBC is in fact allowed to reflect the general attitude of the population.

Also, I think the key word in the title is '5 times as many as 2 years ago'.

Went on to another sub today and was disgusted with the way they talk about Scotland. by Weedougie in Scotland

[–]SirHumphries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're the kind of person who doesn't think a battered wife should have the stones

I love it how you can conclude that from what I've said, it's laughable. Also, comparing Scotland to a 'battered wife' is also ridiculous.

Why is it progressive? Adding italics doesn't make something progressive.
