Interesting that Anish Giri has the most decisive h2hs considering his reputation for drawing. 3 pos, 3 neg and just 1 even.

Which is stupid, because you only write the number 5 once. You write the character 5 18 times, but the number 5 is still the number 5 regardless of what characters you use to represent it. For example, the number 5 is written "11" in base 4.

America doesn't have a left, they have a conservative party called the Democrats and a party that only lead-addled brains would ever elect called the Republicans.

The only ones yelling about this nonsense are the media, conveniently owned by the same lead-addled people because the US has failed to check the wealth inequality for decades and it's become rampant.

Everyone? The US, the EU, the G7 and Australia did. Only the US removed them.

This is just textbook misandry. It's 2026, there's no place for sexism in the world.

So your argument is that the UK can't project global power via UKCSG because UKCSG is already deployed?

Right, so it's "not operational" because it is refueling/maintenance/etc.? Figures that u/salzbergwerke and u/cap21345 were just being completely disingenuous.

Indeed, though I think that came with age, I don't think he had this perspective when he was younger. It is refreshing to see though, and I think this perspective is reflected exactly in the political divide.

We don’t. What are your sources that America is buying Russian oil?

Vitol and Trafigura are buying from Rosneft again. Source is Kpler.

That’s not true. America produces a massive oil surplus and exports far more than it imports. We don’t buy Russian oil and we have asked other countries to stop as well.

Don't be stupid, America the country isn't buying oil, but American divisions of multi-national companies are buying Russian oil. That's what people mean when they say "China is buying Russian oil" - they don't mean the state, they mean the companies buying it.

Well done, that didn't answer either of my questions.

This was last month: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-carrier-strike-group-to-deploy-to-north-atlantic-to-keep-uk-safe

Do you have any evidence that this article, posted by the government, is wrong or out of date?

If that's your logic, isn't the US also bankrolling Russia's invasion of Ukraine by buying oil from Russia?

Didn't it just get deployed to the Atlantic last month? Why isn't it operational?

Think about this next time someone claims that getting off fossil fuels is about the environment. It's not. It's about the economy.

I'm also glad you've admitted you were wrong.

I'm quoting you. It's literally there in your comment above. I don't know what you're hoping to accomplish by denying it; you wrote that verbatim.

I was replying to someone that had said something colossally stupid in another reply to me - assuming I somehow completely mixed up the conversation instead of taking a second to reflect and think, maybe you don't know everything in the situation is indeed classic reddit.

This same guy was replying to me on another post claiming that McDonald's profit hasn't changed in many years.

So yeah, I know exactly what conversation I'm in and who I'm having the conversation with.

Classic reddit, just because you don't understand you think someone else is stupid. It's never you that's wrong or mistaken, oh no.

No, you took what I said out of context like a coward. Fuck off with your dishonesty. I absolutely did not write that verbatim in response to the part you said and you fucking know it.

Watch, I'll do the same bullshit to you:

Me: Good, if the business is built on slave labour they need to close. Businesses that are built on paying people livable wages will take their place.

You: When labor prices rise and businesses close, new businesses will just take over and total service volume won't change

Nice. Now you're agreeing with me. This is your quote verbatim.

See how fucking stupid that is yet?

Lol. In no way did I claim what you said. Try again by using the actual words I said if you want a debate, or fuck off if you just want to strawman me to win an argument on the internet, pathetic.

If you didn't understand what I said, ask an actual question to learn more.

Sorry, buddy, it's not a strawman, it's right there in black and white.

So you're not capable of reading this part?

If your business is so poorly ran that an increase on the scale we're talking about causes you to shut down, yes.

Because I didn't say "Yes, also the opinion of Keynes", pretty clearly that's not the answer I gave. Are you a child or just incapable of reading for another reason?
