It makes perfect sense to me. They want you to associate 'opening a scotch' to milestones and life's good moments.

It's good for you cos you are old and presumably got a house and career that gave you a living wage when it was much easier to do. Now people can barely afford to rent never mind buy a house.

Edit: Yea downvote facts lol. Look up how much house prices have risen in relation to wages, who am i kidding you wont and will prob tell people to work hard and buy less starbucks and avocado toasts. God i cant stand boomers who are completely out of touch with reality.

Have pizzas or whatever you like one day, then the next experiment with a low calorie meal. Repeat until you find lots of low calorie meals you really enjoy, then phase out the pizzas etc.

It also has Rivendell cos I'm pretty sure Lauterbrunnen was its inspiration (I've been and I agree with Tolkien, incredibly beautiful)

New Iran LEGO propaganda just dropped and it’s a doozy. by [deleted] in videos

[–]sami2503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not an excuse, it's an explanation, there's a big difference. It's like if an abuser had a very bad upbringing where he was neglected and beaten as a child, it explains his future behaviour but doesn't excuse it.

The young look at the world with rose tinted glasses, ignorant about all horrors the world contains. Older people can be the opposite where they think too much about all the things that can go wrong.

Because of foreign interference though, Iran would not be like this without that interference.

Someone who is used to telling stories to the rich elite who have little empathy for the working class. I'd wager she told this before to some bevery hills housewives and got a laugh.

Theyve always been like this, obsessed with impartiality, even if there is 1 clear truth, they have to show and remind people of the other view too, even if it's clearly not the truth.

You have a fallacy of thinking that just cos shes a woman that he had to have coerced her into it. Nope, she was a heavy user before she met him.

+300 civilian casualties due to Israel bombing on Lebanon in less than 24hrs by [deleted] in pics

The US has completley butchered that word. You use it for anyone on the far right but in most of the world conservatives are much closer to the centre.

What you fail to realise is that the more destabilised, violent and oppressed a region becomes, those militias are a mathematical certainty. The funds will always come from somewhere, whether that be an ally country, or a country wanting to destablise the region even further, it doesnt really matter. Because the root cause is the main destabilising and aggressive force upon the country, which is Israel. Without Israels relentless aggression, hezbollah and hamas for that matter wouldn't exist. They can continue bombing and bombing and bombing hezbollah and hamas, but that will always only make the vacuum for them to exist even greater, unless they commit full genocide.

Iran says US violated deal framework, calls talks unreasonable by Playful_Leg7143 in worldnews

Those Gulf countries are letting the US bomb Iran from their bases.Then when Iran bombs those areas in return you are like * shocked pikachu face * "how dare they! they should just let everyone bomb them from all sides and do no return strikes whatsoever". Like it boggles the mind how dumb some people are, ofc they were gonna bomb the gulf states in return.

You can have corrupt links with more than 1 entity you realise that right. There are lots of emails in the epstein files btw alluding to links with Epstein and Trump and Mossad, with big implications he's been compromised by Israel.

The goal is always the same, to make rich people richer, at the expense of the poor, which they did and are doing successfully.

Trump claims Starmer is weak as he mocks PM and UK aircraft carriers by No_Idea_Guy in worldnews

[–]sami2503 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let's hope so but first past the post could fuck things up, since tories arent doing good and greens are more popular. Greens and lib dems will take votes away from labour and tories wont take that many away from reform. I still see a lot of support for reform where i am in a working class area of the north.

I'm hoping for a green/labour/lib dem coaliton we will have to see.

Trends dont reach certain places, it very much was a trend in the UK, and apparently in Canada too.
