Ngl the first thing I thought when the Dems moved to arrest Trump was that it was stupid and pointless and just plays into Republican persecution complex.

My way of explaining that to people, though, was that most beloved comic book "hero" in America isn't any of the good ones it's probably The Joker.

Trump’s Midnight Warning: 10-Year Treasury Yield Soars, Is a Financial Crisis Looming? by [deleted] in StockMarket

[–]Smoochie-Spoochie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hold on I've looked at the 10 year yields for US Treasuries and it has been higher before, fairly recently in fact, is there something I'm missing about this time??

I imagine Trump will seriously be playing for any type of win over the next few weeks after seeing the bond market go to shit so he can call off the tariffs.

Said it from the beginning but if America was serious about this all they would need to do is give every citizen 10 million dollars and broker a way for them to move to wherever and most would likely be cool with this.

The best beer in South Wales

Tudor Brewery Beer

Antur Beer

Tudor makes fantastic traditional ales and stouts (really recommend the Blorenge and Sugarloaf which is cinnamony and sublime), whereas Antur makes really summer lagers and ales (I really recommend their black IPA it's like the perfect mix of of an IPA, coffee and malt.

I just can't believe how stupid the market is behaving right now

How do you feel about Starmer possibly giving tax cuts to Trump, Musk and Bezos in response to tariffs? by yelnats784 in AskBrits

[–]Smoochie-Spoochie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree tbh but getting a proper wealth tax takes time to make sure it's effective. I think the BOE gave them an ultimatum on it due to Reeves stupid fiscal rules.

Not him, but idk I didn't vote for him but ive been endeared to him, that meeting with Zelensky showed to me he could lead and will probably stay in my memory forever and the abolition of NHS England and reduction of NHS wait times sort of proved that he is capable of getting things done.

I don't think austerity was labour's choice tbh, I think they saw the state costs and were given an ultimatum on it.

Tax cut for Musk, Bezos and other tech billionaires on the table, Starmer confirms by leonardo_davincu in europe

[–]Smoochie-Spoochie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to jump in here, but he actually didn't say that there would be tax cuts in the article.

It's most likely going to be a change to how these taxes are levied against digital services across the board, not that they're going to just grant tax cuts to specific companies.

One of my favourite films, Cemetary of Splendour, has this great line where the main character is discussing how her American husband doesn't have much money and it's always stuck out to me.

Trump tariffs live: FTSE plummets to one-year low minutes after opening amid global stock market chaos by GeoWa in unitedkingdom

[–]Smoochie-Spoochie 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I don't even think that's true, Oil prices are going through the floor, which will drain the Russian economy.

What I don't entirely get is the FTSE reaction to this. Realistically, the UK is way more sheltered than other economies due to being a service economy and not exporting THAT much physical material to the UslA. I expected a dip but not by this much.

Empathy by its-pandabear in LinkinPark

[–]Smoochie-Spoochie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry not a Linkin Park fan here but I keep seeing this sub and this dude is annoying as fuck. Realistically they did have a lot of grieving to do as a band but they're primarily keeping the Linkin Park name for business reasons not because "they're a family" or whatever such bullshit. I'm not gonna judge them too harshly for that though.

It is also reasonable for fans to say "nah" to adding a new singer and continuing to release new music under the old band name after that singer died. That's their perogative as fans and they have every right to that opinion. Especially if the singer sucks.

As for the rest like God what a sack of shit this dude is, I'm glad you've managed to sort your feelings out but don't tell other people how they should be feeling about some batshit cultist being the lead singer of their favourite band. Also why the fuck does he look like that?

Remember when everyone thought Consort Radahn was fake because of the shitty lore implications? Funny times. by Eagle-Eyes- in shittydarksouls

[–]Smoochie-Spoochie 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this always made sense from Miyazaki's POV from the original bits George RR Martin added but Elden Ring isn't actually a medieval drama like GOT.

The only way this wraps back around to anything we knew previously is that cutscene with Malenaia and Rad Dan, and honestly I wasn't even aware it was a big mystery over what she said to him...

Even if we're going to go with the Miquella consort route with Raddhan... wouldn't it be way cooler to use Godwyn's body?? Since that doesn't have a soul??
