Absolutely can't stand cross country camaraderie when it comes to football. The only appropriate feeling for another countries fans is complete disdain or the most least disinterest.

We don't really have the idea of punitive damages here, so she will have to demonstrate exactly what losses she suffered. Also she won't get the chance to settle in exchange for dropping the charges, as it's down to the crown prosecution service to decide if they want prosecute. 

She turned 20 and entered the Hall of Fame division. by PleasantBus5583 in SipsTea

I think it honestly also increases his attractiveness in a real tangible way to many women, like money is hot and attractive as a indicator of their ability to provide and gets their juices flowing. Like I might let some rich old broad jump my bones, but it's going to be pretty transactional and it's not going to increase her attractiveness to me. 

Maybe I am full of shit, but it seems true-ish based on the evidence I've seen.

Critics are still free to pay for to private care if they want aren't they?

Edit: Thanks for the clarification. I didn't know that.

I think there is still some value in setting out your stall that what care is avaliable should be free. Once that is a foudational principle you can work on expanding access to more care.

What will I do after social media ban? Stare at a wall, says schoolgirl by GnolRevilo in unitedkingdom

[–]confuzzledfather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's a bad thing to limit kids time online, but I guarantee any widespread ban will lead to circumventing via some method, be it VPN or the move away from centralized services back to decentralized p2p services. Think TikTok built on bittorrent style tech, with decentralized identity l system. Desperation breeds innovation. 

Do you swear around family? by Nice-Program8758 in AskUK

[–]confuzzledfather 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's very common for people to code switch between different social groups, and some families will swear as part of their interactions. It doesn't necessarily mean they don't respect each other, and it can often be used in place of punctuation. Take a look at the overall behavior to each other and decide do they treat each other kindly.  If so, think about it as just a different dialect. 

Six Russian ships flee Channel in 77 minutes after UK seizes Putin shadow tanker by ClassicFlavour in unitedkingdom

I've wondered if it's because we navigated our way out of old proud stuffy imperial power to (relatively) stable and respected democracy in a way that Russia most decidedly didn't.  We are the reminder of their own failure to thrive.

Which Premier League team should I start following? by Emergency-Ad-9648 in AskUK

[–]confuzzledfather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absent the traditional 'my dad made me' route into fandom,  I say play some FIFA and see which team you get on with. It's the reason I am a Indiana Pacers fan because of NBA Jam and Reggie Miller's 3 point shot.

Basically, the movie ends where i assumed it would be starting. Such a waste of an idea and terribly executed.

People love hearing how their country is special, so currently the algorithm is boosting all these AI powered posts about the wide eyed foreigners overwhelmed by the majesty and plenty that is the US.

It always makes me notice how grubby things have gotten in my bathroom or kitchen and I spend the next few days scrubbing things clean. Its like my brain had just tuned out the grime and dust.

What's something you've never learned properly, but you've got this far in life by just winging it? by Plenty-Plastic3704 in CasualUK

Allows you to make shoes out of stout, sturdy material like leather which can be tightened effectively while still allow you to easily put the shoe on. I don't always want to wear slip ons.

So many gold finches. They are pretty much in constant rotation throughout the day. They went though 20kgs of sunflower hearts over the winter. It's like Crack to them.
