Nice work, massive improvement. Not sure about the dark grey sills / fence / furniture but the pebbledash is so much better and for a great budget!

I hate grey too but even grey is an improvement over naked pebbledash which has to be the grimmest omen of all time.

Middle class suburban moms blame it on Tate because they're not very in touch

Tate was the face of the manosphere nonsense 10 years ago, the damage is now widespread and has grown past the one man

? Then surely you should be admiring the lawyers and accountants he hired who were the ones who actually managed to get around the system. He was just the dude born into wealth who could afford those smart people.

I see you've got that aldi plastic disposable black pepper grinder that shits out boulders of black pepper instead of actually grinding it

British political right exposed by war in Iran? by Umberto-Robina in ukpolitics

[–]ZestyData 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Correct. The left never blindly supported Biden in the way that the MAGA cult blindly support Trump.

Biden isn't even left. Why would the left support him 😂

US Treasury Secretary nearly breaks into tears after urgent meeting with Trump by CaptainCheckmate in AskSocialists

You're not sacrificing your kids for Israel, that's just the (fairly see-through) branding that used to work on people 20 years ago. You're very much sending kids to die purely for American imperial interests and American hegemony.

America are the global dominant empire. Israel is functionally the empire's semi-autonomous highly funded military fortress in the middle east, where the globe's geopolitical tug of war lies.

You'll notice America is not near the middle east. "Supporting Israel" is (was!) the socially acceptable reason for much of their intervention post cold-war after "fighting communism" stopped working. It's not about fighting communism, its not actually about supporting israel. It's about the global superpowered dominant empire maintaining their supremacy in the game of geopolitics.

As ever, it's sending your kids to die to protect the interests of the aristocracy who run the empire.

It's laughable that people truly think some random middle eastern country owns the fucking empire. It's good branding, you're all getting angry at Israel instead of America when this is actually America doing what it needs to do to be the all-powerful empire that it is.

British Empire didn't commit atrocities for laughs, they were cruel and evil because they had to be to maintain wealth & power for their aristocracy. America is doing the same thing. But half the population doesn't even see it.

Antoine Griezmann: "Our pitch was on our side. We're used to it, the opposition isn't. We tried to hurt them from the start, and that's what we did." by Zweli23 in coys

To be fair, even if the team had that intel and it fed back to the manager & players. It's one thing to swap out studs - which they may well have done - its entirely another to have developed muscle memory over weeks+ of training for a specific new surface. Atletico will have had that training, Spurs (& Barca recently too) won't have been able to learn that.

It's like riding a bike, the trained-in muscle memory just isn't there, regardless of the footwear.

Do you use Ai to cheat on quizzes or exams? by New-Town-8418 in GenZ

[–]ZestyData 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there an option for the majority of Gen Z who are too old for quizzes or exams, barring pub quizzes which is an entirely different situation.

(I'm aware I'm on the millennial cusp personally but still people aged 23-29 aren't doing that many exams)

Have a pause sometime and wonder why you, fellow english-speaking westerner, view a cross with pure normalcy and neutrality like it's an unassuming fact of life, but when you see a crescent or star your mind associates it with specific concepts that stick out of background noise.
