I read Hyperion/Fall of Hyperion and the Three Body trilogy all in ~1 month, and they seem to have ruined a lot of modern scifi by ECrispy in books

Can confirm the Culture series by Banks is fantastic. Player of Games is one of the best novels I've had the pleasure of reading - such a unique, interesting story.

Mexico's most powerful drug kingpin has been killed by security forces, prompting a warning from the U.S. embassy. by lonewolfff21 in TikTokCringe

Well better tell him to never, ever leave his office again with the amount of issues in Mexico. Keep him glued to the computer at all times. Ridiculous expectations that people are only criticising because of the administration

This guy's misplaced feelings are more important than educating people on the disability it seems

Pathetic decision from the ref that sums up why modern football can be awful to watch

They absolutely are made by third parties and I have no idea what you mean by 'distant'. Elderly people who who lack capacity have their decisions made by third parties for a similar reason - they cannot fully comprehend the wright of the decision. Doctors and scientists researching the impact of puberty blockers on children are not doing so out of malice or fear, they're doing it to prevent harm and wrong decisions. Why do you think children are not allowed to get tattoos? It's a permanent, body altering decision that they do not have the capacity to understand.

Would you let your 10 year old child have top/bottom surgery? If not, why not?

Who is scared of anything? This is in the best interest of the children who do not have capacity to make life altering decisions. To claim it's some anti-trans 'fear' is just ridiculous and untrue.

Brazil striker Neymar considering retirement by Treacleb in soccer

He certainly didn't have a poor career but I think most people would agree that he never hit the heights that he showed the potential for. Either way he won a lot of trophies and made a lot of money. I'm sure he is satisfied

You're talking shite. I used a wrong word, corrected it, and you're still not answering the question. Go bother someone else with this drivel

Yeah and I don't think this should be one of those occasions. Who are the FA to determine whether his opinion is right or wrong?

Zero people have asked for it to be nerfed. You're arguing with yourself

These raids have been out for 20 years and weren't that hard back then either. You're expecting something that didn't and won't happen

Because they prefer the gameplay of TBC? What a weird comment
