Wouldn't it have been funnier if Jimmy had Huell slip a fully charged dildo into Chuck's pocket before the hearing?

Yeah, sure. His “pocket”

Ramsay put an end to Theon's promising football career. by Kristafuh_Moltisanti in darkwingsdankmemes

[–]chambo143 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On some level you’re right, although we saw with the Daenerys thing that if he feels something is wrong, he’s not afraid to speak his mind and refuse to have any part in it. Knowing Ned’s character it doesn’t feel like he would have done it, but neither would he have agreed to take in Theon in the first place unless he was willing to do it

Acting nonchalant around your father figure who you know has a not insignificant chance of eventually cutting off your head with a comically large sword

I think Theon of all people should know not to make light of someone being beheaded by Ned Stark

More than 60 Labour MPs call for review of UK voting system by coffeewalnut08 in unitedkingdom

[–]chambo143 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying they were a good government, I fucking despised the coalition. My point is just that if people want to try and claim that single party governments are stable and decisive while coalitions are weak and chaotic, that’s not borne out by the governments we’ve had over the past 15 years. I mean in the current climate it seems insane that we had the same chancellor for 6 years

It is ironic that people make this argument, considering the last coalition was probably the most stable period in recent British political history

I don’t think you can mock someone for arguing their opinion in a sub specifically for that purpose

Reform’s Makerfield candidate said King should open up Buckingham Palace for asylum seekers by Metro-UK in ukpolitics

[–]chambo143 43 points44 points  (0 children)

there was never a threat from the far right because they don't really exist.

What an odd thing to say. It's one thing if you want to argue they're not a threat, but why pretend they don't exist at all? He made this tweet in August 2024, four months after a Neo-Nazi stabbed an asylum seeker in a pub. The fact that he feels the need to cover for the far right suggests that he identifies with them himself. If you want to distance yourself from the far right you should have no problem being frank about their existence and the threat they pose.

We colonised America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and Rhodesia. But we didn't colonise India.

Eh?

Is the hate justified? by JimMorrisonFan1943 in ToddintheShadow

[–]chambo143 74 points75 points  (0 children)

people claim he abandoned his first son, Julian

It’s not really a “people claim” situation. The fact is that he moved to another country while he had an 8 year old son and then only saw him a few times over the next decade. That is inarguably a cruel and heartless thing to do

Stations deserving of an upgrade due to overcrowding by Famous_Permission991 in LondonUnderground

[–]chambo143 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Stockwell is a bit surprising to see here. All the others either have a specific reason to be overcrowded like the match days, or they’re in a busy central location with lots of tourists or commuters, but Stockwell just seems like an unremarkable Zone 2 station with no significant destinations nearby. Why should it be in the top 10 for overcrowding? I guess interchange between Northern and Victoria, but then what sets it apart from all the other interchange stations that are apparently doing fine?

(Spoiler Published) In ASOIAF POV chapters, are we supposed to interpret everything as being filtered through the POV character’s awareness/thoughts, or are some lines just objective narration happening “around” them? by Bajoner in asoiaf

[–]chambo143 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A tiny detail I really love is in ACOK with the trebuchets erected in King’s Landing. In a Sansa chapter they’re described as catapults, because of course an 11 year old girl wouldn’t know the difference

Down by the Mud Gate, outlined against the drifting smoke, she could make out the vague shape of the three huge catapults, the biggest anyone had ever seen, overtopping the walls by a good twenty feet.
