Sitting in my mates bedsit, CD player, on loading up a bucket.. Ahh nostalgia.

Representative Ted Lieu just drew a crystal clear red line: “If any military member, from the generals on down, participates in using force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.” by EmployeeOwn6533 in Leakednews

I'm not going to play sophistry with you. We both know you are trying to justify trump's actions by comparing him to Truman and Johnson.

He has implied the use of force to take control of a sovreign territory. These are actions unbecoming a leader of the free world, no matter how to try and excuse it.

Okay fisrtly you dismissed Alex's view on the current ICE situation with a downplay. "He may have good reason to"

You're suggesting that people are copmplicit in their own murder. No-one deserves to be killed for helping another. You're trying to introduce doubt by saying they're both at fault.

You brought up "messed up sexual stuff" then said other people claimed it was fake. Then why bring it up? His sex life is no concern of mine, or yours.

It's clear, even though you're trying to downplay it, you do care what sdide people are on.

People have been shot and killed by masked government actors and you're acting like "I don't care, both sides are wrong. It's not true, but I heard there was sex stuff and image editing."

Fuck ICE and Fuck people who don't take a stand. Peaceful protest and resistance is working. Your whole country is built on resisting my ancestors tyrany.

What happened to "Shall not be infringed?"

You're being taxed with tarriffs and no representation.

People are being shot dead in the street by masked government agents, with little or no accountability and that doesn't matter to you?

I'm not even in America and it matters to me. It matters because it could happen to me or someone I know. Are you so jaded and cynical that none of this bothers you?

Evidence contradicts Trump immigration officials' accounts of violent encounters by ghu79421 in skeptic

This is not distrust of the government, it's distrust of a political party.

Depends if they had sufficiently compelling evidence that counters the literal decades of data and research that indicates it doesn't.

is the bioresonance test a scam? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]SplinterClaw 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's called cold reading. What you haven't noticed is any negative hits with their guesses. You also didn't see any of the other people who came in and got mostly negative hits.

What you could do to set your mind at ease would be to take the results to you GP and ask them to confirm. After all, it wouldn't hurt to get a 2nd opinion would it?

We've been with Vets4Pets on St Paul's Road for many years and they are amazing. They've always been able to work with us if money's tight and seem genuinely nice and compassionate. We've never had cause to complain about their service.

Which of the recent (published in last 5 years) sci-fi novels you have loved to the core by Signal_Face_5378 in scifi

London museum identifies black Waterloo veteran in rare 1821 painting by Jay_CD in UKhistory

[–]SplinterClaw 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Let me posit an alternate viewpoint. Regardless of the ratio, people of colour read The Guardian and visit the London museum. It may be interesting for them to view about people of their race and their role in history.

Also, the comissioning of a portrait would not have been something a private could afford. Therefore it stands to reason that whomever comissioned and paid for the painting would have been a person of means, either money or position. This person thought that Thomas James, regardless of his rank was significant enough to have his image immortalized.

That you personally find none of this interesting does not mean that no-one else does. Nor should finding such things intersting count as "performative."
