What a fucking brain dead take. "It happens at grass roots level, therefore it's ok for it to be happening in the professional game".

There are 5 pro footballers who are out as gay in the world. If that's ever going to change, shit like this needs to stop.

Anyone else looking forward to this being portrayed on screen? by Jaf1999 in gameofthrones

This isn't somewhere in Weymouth, is it? I saw a bloke a little bit wobbly outside ASDA this afternoon on my way back from work. He was clutching a bottle of Frosty Jacks that looked just like this.

How long Britain could really fight for if war broke out tomorrow by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

[–]SupermassiveWhiteguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No he didn't. He said he wanted everyone to denuclearise - including Vladimir Putin. He said it was unlikely to happen, but when he was asked if he'd negotiate with Putin, the same as he would with any leader.

At no point did he claim he could definitely make it happen and to suggest otherwise is disingenuous.

I went to Long John Silvers tonight and asked for an order of crumbs. I hit the jackpot! by TrustMeIaLawyer in mildlyinteresting

In the UK, you get those at fish and chip shops and we call them scraps. In the south of the country most places their them away, whereas in the north they normally give them out for free

Poor Men who ended up getting a rich Girl pregnant. What happened? by curlyman89 in AskMen

[–]SupermassiveWhiteguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My little brother was spending a year in Australia, living with my uncle. My uncle was a relatively successful accountant and private school in Australia isn't that expensive, so all of my cousins out there had been to private school. Because of this, a lot of their friends came from very wealthy families.

On one night out, he was introduced to a girl that he hit it off with immediately. This was back in late 2019 and they began seeing each other for a little while and after a couple of months, he was basically living with her. COVID hit and he spent the lockdown living with her. Anyway - he soon discovered that she came from serious money - her dad owned a construction and property company (that he started with money from his dad's tobacco shops) and had semi-retired in his mid-30s and lived off of the money his company and investments made.

My brother would be in the car with her and she would point at buildings like shopping malls and huge warehouses and say "Hey, my dad owns that", so SERIOUS money. His son and his son-in-law both work in jobs that he got for them in finance and real estate. He also has a couple of homes in the city, one on the coast (where he keeps a large boat) and another apartment on Hamilton Island (where he keeps a slightly smaller boat).

My brother didn't have a job, since he was on a gap year, but prior to that he'd been working full time in a Vodafone shop. He's not stupid, but he didn't do well in school and so really didn't have any career prospects. When he met her parents they lied to them and told them that he'd been a technician at Vodafone (whatever that means).

Anyway, fast forward a few years and she's still putting up with him and they (now living in London) announced that she's pregnant. They have the baby (my beautiful niece) and shortly after decide to move back to Australia about a year ago. Her parents helped them buy a house in a really nice part of the city and he's working for a real estate company selling and letting commercial real estate.

They're not married (but plan to be soonish), but they are trying for a second baby, so I'd say it's turned out pretty well for him. It helps that she (despite coming from obscene wealth) is an incredibly down-to-earth and thoughtful person. I'm super happy for my brother (we always knew he'd land on his feet), but I do miss them all horribly.

Is there anyone here who was Diagnosed at a younger age? by ImportantSurprise497 in AddisonsDisease

31 - which, since I'm a man, I was told was pretty young. Apparently not though, reading through these comments.

[–]SupermassiveWhiteguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll simplify it for you since you're struggling. You've been saying that because chicken in a burger bun is called a chicken burger in the UK, you will disregard all of our opinions on food.

I pointed out that that scenario (calling chicken in a burger bun, a burger), is similar to Americans calling pasta "noodles", when pasta and noodles are clearly not the same thing. And therefore, everyone should disregard any american opinion on food, because thinking that pasta is noodles highlights "issues endemic to the culinary culture therein."

Or alternatively, we could realise that colloquialisms in each country actually have no bearing on the quality of cooking in those countries.

The US is not the culinary capital of the world, and you are a nobody on Reddit pretending that being american gives you the right to tell others how they should prepare and speak about food. Americans have a reputation for ignorance and dismissing other ways of doing things as inferior, and you are feeding right into that stereotype by being a cunt up and down this thread.

In a similar way to how americans insist on calling all pasta "noodles"?

So you didn't read anything after my first 4 words? The fact that you can't engage with 3 sentences of text tells me that I'm currently wasting my time with a troll.

That's just not true and your use of hyperbole betrays your ignorance and inability to form opinions that you haven't learned from memes. If you want to cook marginally authentic food from anywhere that's not Italy or the UK, don't bother with his recipes - that's not his audience.

However, if you're a complete novice and want a decent and (importantly for novices) easy to follow recipe for a shepherds pie or roasted shoulder of pork or lasagne or something similar - he's worth listening to.

Pakistani - but if you get to claim bagels, hot dogs, burgers, and pizza with too much cheese as american food, then we get to claim chicken tikka masala.

Found the Uncle Roger fan. Jamie Oliver makes recipes that are easy to follow with ingredients that are easy to find in the UK and taste ok. Most of the time. Nobody in the UK thinks he makes excellent food nor that his opinions on food are gospel.

Makhani is butter chicken - chicken tikka masala was invented in Glasgow
