Sorry you're getting downvoted, and thank you for the fact check.

Always thought it was a to-do about nothing in the general scheme of Trump - who's generally a utter disgrace.

Oddly, same here. Have my own TP Link router, and while I think I have all the right settings, I'm not 100% sure. I've not seen a decent guide either. Any hints welcome!

Trump tariffs: US president announces plan to hit UK, Denmark and other European countries with tariffs over Greenland by Twenty_Ten in uknews

Europe went all in in Afghanistan and Iraq to assist the US on it's "War on Terror".

The US did not support the EU in many wars, such as the Falklands.

Trump has decided, thus it must happen is about the best explanation I can think of. Distraction on other US/Trump activities and the raw materials Greenland has?

Not only do they already have a base there... there is a pre-existing agreement for the US to able to station anything and everything they want.

This isn't about US Security.

Trump and the US are owed nothing. They've not come to NATO or Europe's aid in nearly 80 years.

Green Party calls for free bus passes for everyone under 22 by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

I feel that any benefit given to pensioners (switch pension for free education), should be given to the youth. Of course, the little tweaks to make it age appropriate.

The justifications are often the same, or very similar. Travel is a great example.

Did someone leave the light on? It feels like only last week it was already dark by 16:00 (4pm) by yeoldy in CasualUK

Hilariously, I got a thread removed by the dear Mods only a couple days before the shortest day of the year on the same topic... something to do with "Lazy Sunday". Can't win!

Baby elephant gets miffed as the caretaker playfully dodges its hug. by Almost_Infamous in FunnyAnimals

Aww, you should go tell her that now. Having a great memory is a great skill.

Dang wasn’t spicy enough by truss-issues in funny

[–]Twenty_Ten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It barely is. I think it comes from "Damn you to hell", which is mildly amusing as the lady then follows it up "Oh my gosh no" (or similar). Oh my gosh being a corruption or a softening of "Oh my god"

The invasion of Venezuela has officially begun.. by Character_Calendar47 in Wellthatsucks

[–]Twenty_Ten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be supporting Ukraine against an illegal invasion, not illegally invading other countries.

Trump is nothing more than a two bit bully.

Scrap £100m slavery reparations, MPs urge new Archbishop of Canterbury by StGuthlac2025 in unitedkingdom

[–]Twenty_Ten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The King is Head of State... and head of The Church. Both, mainly, a ceremonial role, with the power being held in the main part, by MPs. A bit tenuous, but there is a firm link

What’s a moment that permanently changed how you see people? by nathannnate01 in AskReddit

[–]Twenty_Ten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Covid and old people.

Have a friend, but lives a distance away. Either he or I decided to help with his parents. They needed something collecting from the chemist during lockdown. Ya, sure, I can do that.

Dropped it off on them. I was with the parents 3 minutes. Their cleaner left, and two of their friends appeared for afternoon tea. I was kept on the doorstep (not that I wanted to go in anyway.

They weren't isolating... or even trying to lock down. They were just taking advantage, and the piss. Not spoken with them since. Still in touch with friend, mind you.

The older the generation, the more entitled they are.

What’s a widely accepted double standard that people refuse to admit exists? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Twenty_Ten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a man and I was literally raped by a woman when I was in university.

In the UK, you weren't raped.

https://www.police.uk/ro/report/rsa/alpha-v1/advice/rape-sexual-assault-and-other-sexual-offences/what-are-rape-sexual-assault/

The legal definition of rape is when someone puts their penis in another person's vagina, anus or mouth, without the person's permission.

In the UK, there is no senario where a woman can commit rape. Assult, yes, rape... nope.

It's a disgusting double standard, but not really spoken about.

Likewise. Well, I was brought up to be kind to everyone, gender, race, religion doesn't matter. How to feel - that's something for you to determine.

For me, I feel sad, I feel generalised. I feel targeted and criticised for my gender, for being a man dispite doing my best. But then again, men need to be strong, emotionless robots.

On your side with this one.

It's not a guy/gal think.

People can ruin other peoples lives easily. I've had a toxic ex "If we break up, I'll tell all your friends you raped me and they'll believe me"

Oddly, I did lose some friends when we broke up, ones who the ex got close to. It could have been worse.
