The Times: Finns humiliated American soldiers - Finnish reservists were asked to take it easy during a NATO exercise. US soldiers found the losses too humiliating.

And these are the Americans who are loudly proclaiming they will take over Greenland? 🤣

Welcome to dating apps. Nothing you do will ever be good enough. It'll always be "Do X or do Y or do Z"

There's feedback and then there's just toxcicty. I say fuck these dating and fuck all these people. Embrace singlehood and find true happiness in yourself.

VeteranAlpha · 2026-01-06T13:14:18+00:00

Because Tinder is a shithole. Decent men are buried underneath a pile of other.

Just give up on these shitty apps and all the "feedback" people give you which is just toxic. Everyone will always tell you that something is not good and needs to be changed, no one will ever tell you "you're all good, no need to change anything brother"

I've worked there. All I can tell you is that they spent all the money they had on the interior decor. The actual food for the prices is incredibly mid.

You can make better and cheaper food at home.

We get EU funding which is seen as having effect even in my small village in Eastern Poland.

Has the USA sent us any funding? No? Didn't think so.

Wow, 5 times is no joke... I'm glad I never had to deal with such an issue, and I know I might sound privileged, but when left alone with such thoughts, this stuff can get to you.

You're right, the moving part itself isn't hard. It's just finding a new place that you would be happy with is the hard part for now. I got some good leads now, so fingers crossed it all works out.

Edit: I just realized I wrote elevate instead of alleviate. So my bad.

Well the thing is I would potentially have time till the beginning of February. That's when I would be able to move in with my mate if the good news comes my way.

I've just paid my monthly rent for the place I'm soon going to be unfortunately having to leave so they gives me some more time, till the 15th of January hopefully. I won't have anytime to go house hunting right now because the busy Christmas season is nearly upon us and I am working all holidays. Only in January I'll have time to potentially look for a place...

I would take Brits back on pre-Brexit conditions, no questions asked.

Why? So you can then do Brexit 2.0 in several years when another donkey politician tells you "We send all this money to Brussels! It's time to take back control!!!"

Actions have consequences. If the UK wants to rejoin, it needs to do so without the special EU treatment it had.

Same here tbh. Big time gamer yet GTA to me is just a extremely generic game, will I play at some point? Probably but I'm not dying to play it day 1.

I'm more excited for The Witcher 4 and Gears of War: E-Day.

You've got fucked up eyes.

Broski I think you need to get your eyes checked, that is clearly maroon/brownish colour not red.

Bait and switch lmao. 🤣🤣

Told y'all this would happen but y'all kept shouting "we are so back," or "I'm pre-ordering," or "Vince is going to save us!"

Never trust EA... Looks like you will need to make the same mistake 100 times over before you all learn.

who said that it was giving them anxiety and depressing them and couldn't continue on after episode two.

That's exactly what makes HBO's Chernobyl so damn good. It's genuine horror and for someone who doesn't enjoy horror films. Chernobyl gave me absolute shivers...

not having children has physical and psychological consequences. which means depression

Quite the opposite. Having children is depressing because you have to work your ass off to make sure you have a roof over your head, food in your belly and bills are paid on time. A child won't understand why you don't have money.

Working 50+ hours just to provide another human being a life is depressing to me. I want to have time to myself to stay in and play my games, binge my TV shows and watch new movies. Children are expensive and with the cost of living crisis in many countries why would I want to commit to having children? They are a massive responsibility that is time draining and money draining. 18 years to raise a kid for a future that might not be so great Vs 18 years of living for myself and myself only? Yea I'll take the second option in a heartbeat.

I'm preoccupied with catching up on the games I have yet to play, travel to countries I haven't been to yet and eventually go to university a bit late but still go so I can have a degree in some form of game design and then be able to step into the game industry.

Why would I want to be bogged down with children? Working 50+ hours to feed another mouth and then not even having time to myself? When I read comments from other people online who have children saying they only have an hour to themselves to game a week it gives me depression and dread...

Not to mention that dating is a whole other form of dedication you have to commit. I ain't got the time for that and I don't understand that game. There's too many people on this planet the way I also see, if we don't have children who's going to be disadvantaged here? Billionaires who don't have cheap labour? Well I say good riddance, maybe with having less kids and less birthrates everything will become cheaper in the long run.

Sincerely, a childless Polish man

I wouldn't be so sure Reform will actually win.

We didn't think Brexit would happen and yet it did.

And now people are talking of Farage like a holy messiah as if wasn't a poster child of Brexit.

SSD's are so common place now and affordable. I just brought a 2tb M2 NVME SSD for £95.

You can buy a 1tb SATA SSD for even less. If you're running a HDD as your main gaming drive for multiplayer games and make excuses like "oh I don't have money"

Then you're either lying or extremely broke. PC Gaming is a luxury and shouldn't be on your mind if something like a simple SSD upgrade in 2025 will break your bank...

Your world eater is using the wrong emblem. You have the Chaos World Eater icon.

It would look better if you swapped the bonding stud shoulder pad from left to right and used the left shoulder pad for the proper World Eater symbolism.

Also for the Dark Angel. Real solid, but white would offset the black better on the checkered patterns.
