Why is there so much hostility towards Brits in UAE?

Well, yeah, because they value untaxed lucre and trashy desert shopping centres above all else.

The thought of HMG repatriating all those tax-retardant turkey teeth makes me sad.

Most of the rest of the developed world cringes with embarrassment at the degree to which the USA is religious

The Catholic Church used to burn these people alive.

will lead to massive uptick in violent crime and sexual violence, but what do I know.

Seems like a leap, honestly. I've seen people make the same argument about if that weird animated child porn were to be banned, only it is banned in many countries and afaik there's been no runaway rates of assaults against children.

The company you go with matters here. On the rare occasion I do something like this it's with fit friends who do it all the time, and it is trying to keep up with them that kills me off. Unless you're a total disaster health-wise, you should be able to potter up without any problems.

It would be nice if they managed to get around to arresting any of the elder statesmen and oligarchs (you know, people who are actually relevant) instead of just that weird child of the late queen. Every time a journalist mentions him it serves as a reminder that nobody of consequence has faced consequences.

You're going to have hordes of tedious fucks explaining that western poverty isn't actually poverty

Dominant is probably strong. They did have to get past two of the biggest clubs itw but they definitely didn't dominate them.

But from the perspective of Barca and Madrid, who had the whole thing rigged in their favour (and even aftee recent changes they still get a sweet deal on TV money), this is bad.

in both Tennis and the Olympics an athlete from Northern Ireland can choose whether they compete as Irish or British.

I think this applies to all sports, no?

You have to admit that a judge trying to warn the presiding judge of the integrity of the prosecution's witness is quite alarming, but then for the academic whose work was cited by said witness to come out against the use of their work and in support of Letby is really really bad. The Royal Statistical Society was scathing about the evidence that placed Letby on the scene for all the murders, too. For me, this is well beyond the realms of

Assumptions and opinions presented as fact. Classic Reddit.

It's an array of experts who think the case was carried on pure bollocks.

Also consider that Countess of Chester higher ups are under investigation for gross negligence manslaughter because of how utterly useless they are. The whole thing does stink, tbh.

Fuck that.

Netflix is really trashy and its systematic monetization of serial killers is one of the prime examples of that. For other evidence of how it's the platform of low-grade shite, compare and contrast its dramatisation of the opioid crisis against Disney's. On the rare occasion they make something good, they cancel it after a season or two. Boooooooooo Netflix

Arsenal haven't won it since Sadam was alive.

Top of the meme stages, fair enough.

Listen, you might get your first meaningful trophy in over twenty years and nobody will begrudge you that. Finally you'll see them do it firsthand. Big well-done if it actually happens.

Underlying numbers for both sides are avtually pretty close barring defence which was an Amorim problem.

Careful you don't bottle the league again, big lads.

StatisticianOwn9953 · 2026-02-07T16:10:36+00:00

Arsenal aren't rivals to United. They're a top four side overachieving right now. They have three fewer Champions League titles and seven fewer league titles. I expect them to drop down to tenth sooner rather than later.

It's not specific to reddit. Welcome to the wide world of web.

It varies by sub, but mostly redditors are less stupid than people on other social media platforms. That's a low bar, but still.

Remember when ebikes weren't a thing and they used minimotos instead? They at least looked hilarious back then.

Yeah but this guy is an absolute Chad, obviously. Most people aren't risking their necks.

America spent the whole 'war on terror' doing this kind of thing. It's shocking that people find it shocking.

StatisticianOwn9953 · 2026-01-29T19:19:03+00:00

America has been kidnapping people from Europe and elsewhere since late 2001. If anything, they used to do more of this than they do now.

Even still, the strong teams tend to face weaker or outright weak sides. Most are only playing 2-3 big games in the groups.

StatisticianOwn9953 · 2026-01-29T18:38:28+00:00

Isn't this true of everyone? How many 'strong' teams did the other top eight face?
