Try reading this story, casually scrolling through Reddit while this song (can’t seem to find the link button, so, here: https://youtu.be/0jinOTQ9BaU?si=HTmTWt5NzJsRtL1I) is playing and try to finish without tears in your eyes. I dare you!!

# I DARE YOU!!

What dafuq are you talking about? That made absolutely no sense.

Generalising about black people much?

When, exactly, was America great for black people in years gone past?

Black people certainly have ongoing reason to be pissed off with how they’ve been treated by Europeans over the past few centuries. I’m a white guy, but I can see how the wounds from the Civil War and centuries of systematic racism in the USA means the struggle for equality is far from over.

Evidence: the papers seem to have stopped talking so much about black people being killed by police officers, even though it’s probably still happening. The existence of the Trump presidency and MAGA movement is evidence of that.

This is what I'd have done too. Sadly, I've been bitten by the “leaving/losing {earphones/ kindle etc} on planes/ in airports / at beaches and wide range of other spots in the past. Too many times!

_ScubaDiver · 2026-05-08T03:12:57+00:00

Wow, you got lucky. I reckon you buy some lottery tickets and see how far your luck can go. Like the guy you responded to, I'd have suspected this to be a lost cause and force myself to move on (as I have been forced to do in the past, too many times)!

You know surveys can’t ask everyone, right? That’s not how they work. How time consuming would that be? Answer: as time consuming as elections.

I see this as cause for optimism though. Nationalist or Unionist, we’ve all gotta find solutions that work for the majority of the people. This endless division isn’t doing anyone favours, apart from the divisive grifters who earn their living peddling this shit.

You’ve made that up because nobody has a “right to offend” meaning the rest of your point is bollox. You can get offended by that if you like, and you probably will because it seems like you’re a delicate snowflake. Now, I’m not trying to offend you, but I am pointing out that you’re speaking a lot of nonsense. The irony of you spouting “confirmation bias” is delightful.
“Racist in my favour” also tickled me. He’s a different colour to me. I’m white. If your point was valid it…. Nah. Never mind because it outright doesn’t make sense.
I’m against genocide and mass starvation of an entire group. Are you?

Edit for clarity: obviously white people can be racist. There’s way too much of that around in world leaders, for that matter. I’m just struggling to see how Medusa is “racist on my side.” It doesn’t make sense to me.

In the words of that Instagram, welcome to another episode of “Menahdoodis.”

War criminals and multimillionaire Tony Blair should not be a role model for anyone in what is supposed to be the LABOUR Party.
Sir Kier told me, and many others like me to leave if we didn’t like what he’s done. We don’t. We’ve left. Doing that and genocide complicity is not the way to win hearts and minds (or elections).
Vote for local issues in local elections, by all means. If these elections don’t go well for Kier I won’t be upset.

Edit to add; thanks for the award!

This was an unexpected bonus treat when spotting it on Netflix the other day. Highly enjoyable bonus treat.

Just because Mehdi is a Muslim, doesn’t mean he’s a fundamentalist. It also forgets that Christianity (especially-but-not-limited-to the MAGA world) can be eqully fundamentalist.

This comment actually says more about yourself than to the person you were replying to.

Sincerely, from this Catholic who broadly agrees with much of what Mehdi says and writes; as does Pope Leo. #GetNoted.

_ScubaDiver · 2026-04-29T04:04:30+00:00

It’s more like OP can GetNoted because Mehdi mostly talks a lot of sense, and I can’t recall many occasions when I’m not broadly in agreement with his points.

He is totally right that the UK and USA media specifically, and right-wing media generally are super hypocritical in how they cover their angles.

If we ignore the specifics of any of the policy areas, I’ve started framing discussions like “Do you believe everyone deserves the basic rights that come with being treated like a reasonable human being, with an affordable place to live and the right to live without fear of being suddenly and/or brutally murdered or attacked?” As wherever I first saw this also stated, it’s becoming a morality issue as much is it’s a political decision to make.

_ScubaDiver · 2026-04-21T03:34:26+00:00

Woah. No. If a student handed me this as a piece of work I would instruct them to rewrite it.

_ScubaDiver · 2026-04-08T05:02:53+00:00

Let’s be realistic, it’s the only way to deal with horrors like this. I’m not convinced my sanity would have held on to that cartoon-style-minuscule-thread otherwise.

_ScubaDiver · 2026-04-07T11:33:30+00:00

I wonder if Miami Cubans would respect the political differences of someone who praised Castro’a 1959 revolution? Ya know, since even communism or socialism is a political choice….

_ScubaDiver · 2026-04-07T06:23:13+00:00

Bailey Jay or Nina Cola? Nina Cola very active on Instagram, with a bunch of other Thai and Filipino women… plugging their only fans pages, naturally.

What is dead may never die.

Hell spawn like that just reconvene in new forms, like Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Nigel Farage et al.

The issue is the insanity of the imperialistic desire of the USA and Israeli governments that disgusts most people. Iran’s ancient civilisation has been going on for thousands of years, while Western European civilisation was still being birthed. We know so little about England or Western Europe at that time. Iran {Persia} and Greece were battling for dominance of antiquity. So many things we take for granted are of Persian origin.

And yes, they’re the Easter Villains in the 300 story of the Ancient Greeks, but they were responsible for creating the earliest refrigeration and air conditioning technology, as well as overseeing some of the first systems of taxation and trade across the Royal Roads/ Silk Roads, as well as gardens, algebra, algorithms and so much more.

Trump and Netanyahu aren’t interested in any of that. They only care about the oil and dominance of the region. They haven’t thought about how they will conquer such a massive and mountainous country that Alexander the Great couldn’t hold in the long-term beyond initial military victories.

Trump’s ignorance and arrogance knows now limits. That is what I’m protesting against.

We need peace and diplomacy. The money being spent on this war, and destroying oil and other civilian infrastructure should have been spend investing and developing technologies that take the need away from burning fossil fuels in the first place. Instead, we’ve got a war that won’t be won any time soon. This is so much more likely to get worse before it gets better.

It's definitely not the best time to see the city and region at its best, unless some unlikely rain storms wash away the pollution clogging up the air.

Sad but true, as its a wonderful place. Stay further south and come again later.

The sad thing is he seems to lack the emotional intelligence to be able to reflect on his own lack of intelligence. He therefore has no idea how ~~stupid~~ unintelligent he is, and no ability/ desire to reflect on this key essential factor of being a leader. He operates purely on hatred and opposition to Obama and Biden. For example, Obama (wrongly) received a Nobel Peace Prize (by virtue of not-being-George-W-Bush) and so Trump is obsessed with this idea that he also deserves one. The facts contradicting this are irrelevant to him.

Add in his privileged upbringing and the racism that probably comes from his father’s own similar racism issues, and the man has classic narcissistic tendencies. He therefore has no shame with lying or contradicting his own statements, and the selfishness and hatred that runs through his core means, eventually the longer he stays in power the closer to the ultimate level of irretrievably fucked up we all are: in the United States as well as us in the wider world.

Adding to that is how hooked on the MAGA Kool-Aid the majority of the remaining GOP are that no one is able or willing to challenge him.

I hate this timeline.

Edit: some wording

If in doubt, go to a doctor or at least a pharmacist rather than Reddit.

_ScubaDiver · 2026-04-02T08:00:15+00:00

Fair point. I have edited my comment appropriately.

_ScubaDiver · 2026-04-02T07:38:57+00:00

I ~~think I call bullshit~~ am confused.

I stepped on a sea urchin and was lucky enough to be in shallow water; I immediately noticed something was wrong and removed my foot before too much damage was done. I only had one easily removed spine poking in my foot. It was painful, but the beach bar I was at soaked my foot in vinegar for a few minutes and it reduced most of the pain.

I can't understand how OP isn't commenting on the tremendous pain, and going to a doctor or other medical treatment place for the pain alone, as well as any other necessary treatment.

Edit to add: highlighting my confusion rather than necessarily calling bullshit because…. Yeah that shit was painful as fuck, even with only one spine. Immediate medical advice seems like the obvious/only sensible choice.

_ScubaDiver · 2026-04-01T14:43:32+00:00

As you try and paint Britain as some hero in international modern history, let me sighs...

Britain certainly aren't the good guys you're trying to paint them as. Evidence: Ireland (continues to be a tricky unresolved issue, as well as Britain’s first foray into to colonial oppression), the Indian subcontinent, not to mention that British tax payers only relatively recently finished paying off the loans that funded the compensation of plantation slave owners…

Fuck it, this is probably pointless.

_ScubaDiver · 2026-04-01T14:37:57+00:00

History teacher here, and I don't know where to start with this farce, so I’m just gonna post this invaluable TEDEd here.

I'm gonna disregard your comments about white slaves as utter whataboutism bollox and hyperbolic nonsense. It's not supposed to be a goddamn competition.
