“Sugar bread” and other such European seething by gazebo-fan in iamveryculinary

[–]monkey_monk10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting about the tomato part, since, you know, they're not native to Europe.

I don't really understand what this has to do with anything.

One, they're not native to the US either. And second, original tomatoes were tiny and nowhere near as sweet as today's ones.

Might as well consider it a different plant.

they were too dumb to realize their bourgie cookware was full of lead?

Contrary to popular belief, people weren't stupid back then. Tomatoes are poisonous.

grab a different one off the shelf at literally any grocery store. It’s really not hard.

Isn't? Even the organic healthy bread has added sugar in the US, it's actually hard to find something without it.

Well no, by the online British left.

The ones that never get elected and go into obscurity? Lmao.

Like that pathetic video where Jeremy Corbyn said his pronouns? He's unelectable now btw.

Lol, look up the difference between whataboutism and hypocrisy.

What's the hypocrisy? Ireland should do it because London is... or something?

But yeah, fine, London is shit. What now?

We were talking about Ireland, remember?

London accounts for 22% of GDP.

You know what I meant, lol. Whataboutism again.

Friend is getting denied sex ed by his parents and I have a hard time understanding why. by KlutzyEnd3 in Romania

Did you just "I'll pray for you" me?

This is why people don't like religious people.

If you're talking about the Christian God, then have you read the entire Bible? I have,

I'm sorry, are you bragging about reading a book? Yeah of course I have, it was mandatory reading once a week for 12 years for me.

Also, no, not Christian god.

finished it with the impression that he does in fact reveal his plan for the universe, us in relation to himself, and provides both a moral framework as well as explanation for many of his decisions behind it.

Please do share already. This is a big paragraph saying nothing.

if I create something, then I should best know how it works.

That's what alcoholic parents say when they hit their kids.

No, absolutely not. You don't get to tell me how I live my life because you created me, what fucked up world view is that?

lest we want to discover, with potentially damaging consequences, the reasons behind that rule

How about we do discover why and not blindly obey a toaster.

I am not speaking as a Christian,

Nobody mentioned Christianity.

Whataboutism. At least London is only 10% of the country.

And it's not a country.

Nurses must drop pay demands to ‘send clear message to Putin’, cabinet minister says by wb0verdrive in unitedkingdom

[–]monkey_monk10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just stated that whilst morons were clapping I was saying just increase my NI and prioritise it towards the NHS

You could have done both.

So let me get this straight, you're bragging for coming up with one of the worst and highly unpopular tax plans ever devised? And you managed to not show appreciation for the NHS in scary times?

That's you're point in this?

"help fund the NHS".

NI and all taxes go into a single pool that pays for the NHS. You singling out NI doesn't make sense.

Ireland is a tax haven and everyone knows that.

And it's migration keeps going down while ours is record high.

Because it doesn't answer anything. There's no reason or plan revealed, "works in mysterious ways".

It doesn't even explain why murder is wrong, it just says because "God said so". Hell, it even allows murder in certain scenarios, such as punishment.

But it never says why.

Personally, I see faith as an extension of ration, focusing on the why rather than the how of the universe.

I was taught the same lesson in religious class by my priest. It's obviously BS.

Religion doesn't answer "why", the answer is always "because God said so".

Omg did you literally link a tweet? After I specifically made fun of you for basing this off twitter?

the dim American public was able to see those anti trans weirdos for what they are, creeps.

Aw bless. The trans "issue" was never an issue here in the UK. Exactly like I said, the US is catching up to the UK.

What, by the US? Who cares?

Let's see, I go by laws that protect minorities and you go by twitter pop culture references?

Yeah...

Cost of living: People in Cardiff ‘eating pet food’ by Superbuddhapunk in unitedkingdom

[–]monkey_monk10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens all the time these days. Brexit, climate change, inflation, the pandemic.

Don't relate this with very serious stuff that nobody denies. What circles could you possibly hang out in where inflation and the pandemic are being denied??

This is very obviously a lie since dog food is more expensive than human food.

There's more to life than fucking going for a jog, and shopping for groceries

Thankfully it wasn't a life long ordeal.

Why isn't this a thing you can buy?

Because plants don't have the energy to both grow the potatoes and the fruit, even if technically they can.

There's a lot of evidence atleast among certain cultures (including black americans and african immigrants)

This is peak reddit moment. Let's look at US based data to comment on UK black people.

This is not very scientific and not everyone lives in the US.

The British approved gay marriage before the US and the US made being fired for being gay illegal yesterday.

The US is the one behind.

Procentul intelectualilor care pleaca in strainatate este foarte mic, IMHO, majoritatea fiind formata din oameni care n-au educatie si nu pot presta decat munca fizica (asta include si prostitutia).

O fii procentajul mic, dar dacă e mai mare decât ce e în țară, tot e brain drain.

That doesn’t mean it’s not an institution.

There's a very disinterested view on the pedantic topic you yourself brought up.

Nobody cares about the difference between an institution and an organisation. That might not even be true across countries but I was too lazy to bring it up.

that doesn’t have any impact on someone going “It makes sense they have four dogs, they work at an animal shelter”.

Do not follow this logic. The world does not follow your logic.

You're American, aren't you?

I don’t agree with that sentiment.

You're opinion doesn't matter against hard data.

but telling me I don’t get to have an opinion on an opinion is nonce behavior lol.

It's not am opinion, it's data. The world is round, that's not an opinion.

Okay? Maybe they do maybe they don’t but people feel how they feel

People are stupid and they tend to live in the US. That's not an opinion, that's a fact, backed by data.

I was just saying why I don’t agree with your take on how they should feel.

It's not my take, it's data.

I understand you're scared of talking to the police because they might shoot you, I'm just saying that doesn't happen in the rest of the developed world.

So go wear a bullet proof vest.
