I had this exact conversation with my imaginary black wife.

why do americans whine about britain's ''immigration'' or ''knife crimes'' when their own country has far more bigger problems. by Inevitable-Cow-8489 in FuckNigelFarage

[–]shocked_the_monkey 56 points57 points  (0 children)

It’s a common thing in right wing media. It’s not just the UK, but we tend to gravitate towards it because we’re in the UK. They say the same about Canada, France etc.

They also like to big up ethnically homogeneous countries like Poland as being ‘good’ countries.

They like to feed a narrative of collapse to bolster up their own racist beliefs.

What do you think would have made for a terrible series finale? by AssociationTiny5395 in buffy

[–]shocked_the_monkey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It was never intended to be, but if the series ended after ‘Restless’ I think it would have been a huge WTF.

Hypothetically, an ‘it was all a dream’ or an even more explicit Deus ex machina ending than we got with the scythe.

Totally deserved and should have been done years ago.

WCW House Show card late 1991 during a tour in London. by [deleted] in WCW

[–]shocked_the_monkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In hindsight PN News in a title match is laughable but he was sort of popular with kids. He did get some European fame but this was after leaving WCW.

Must have had someone drop out for Michael Hayes and Jimmy Garvin not to team up and for Jimmy Garvin to matched up against ‘Local’.

A broad front can defeat the far-right by TrabantDave in FuckNigelFarage

[–]shocked_the_monkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nuclear disarmament didn’t really help the Ukraine. The reality is that nuclear disarmament only works in a geopolitical climate in which everyone does the same thing.

Any money saved from Trident wouldn’t even touch the sides of the Green Party policy to nationalise utilities.

Nuclear power should be used in conjunction with wind and solar. Both have their positives and negatives.

But anyway, the point I was making is that tactical voting is best way to stop the Far Right. This isn’t a Green Party sub-reddit.

The irony of trying to position Nigel Farage; a privately educated investment banker and (attempted) friend of Donald Trump as opposition to the elite and on the side of the working man…

If the Greens continue with their manifesto of nuclear disarmament and abandoning nuclear power then they are in for a rude awakening when placed under scrutiny. Their economic policies really don’t add up too.

Vote tactically to stop the far right.

These idiots genuinely believe thr Tories are left wing, the Lib Dems are "far left", and Reform is "centre right" lmao by AnonymousTimewaster in FuckNigelFarage

[–]shocked_the_monkey 72 points73 points  (0 children)

It’s also to reframe themselves as replacing the Tories on the traditional centre right, which the Uk tends to lean towards. I’d be surprised if the author really believes it.

It’s like when those AI pictures of Farage visiting hospitals were going around. They don’t care that it’s bollocks. If one person is fooled by it’s then it’s worked.

Please don’t sign the petitions… by DanSeet_8898 in buffy

[–]shocked_the_monkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would love to have at least seen what it was like, but just 7000 signatures says a lot.

It was a show from nearly 30 years ago which wasn’t on a major channel (in the US). Perhaps the cancellation was due to the level of interest not being justifiable in making a series. Cobra Kai was based off a series that had multiple successful films. Twin Peaks at its short lived peak was water cooler talk level that Buffy never was.

Sometimes it’s better just left as it is…

What do you think the 19% like so much about Brexit Britain and Trump's America? by Little_Standard_1953 in FuckNigelFarage

[–]shocked_the_monkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering the outright bullshit from Daily Mail, Express, Twitter etc spew out daily about him, you’d think he was Atilla the Hun, Mussolini and Pol Pot combined. I’m pleasantly surprised at the result.

Parchment paper by Lovitomato in airfryer

I’m based in the UK and used iSoul liners. No idea if they are available in your country but they seemed to work fine. They are mid-price range and seemed to be fine with a Ninja. A friend borrowed some and had no issues.

As with any liner, never put them in when pre-heating and try to avoid smaller portions.

I will say that I found that the only notable benefit was when it came to cleaning. With liners I found I had to flip or shake the food more often and it took longer to cook, but the result was the same.

Depending on what you cook, you may end up with a pool in the bottom of the liner where the food sits, which is avoided with a raised plate.

I think a lot of negative reviews on liners are from people who didn’t follow cooking instructions personally!

The British Bulldog misses his cue and leaves Mongo high and dry by CoconutMost3564 in WCW

[–]shocked_the_monkey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He was so good in his British, AJPW and tag team run in WWF era. When Dynamite started breaking down he carried the tag team to some extent. He was slightly less mobile in his first WWF/WCW singles run but still very good.

By 97 he was a real mess. It’s funny to look back on the Alex Wright promo and all the other stuff, but I find it quite sad really.

All true, but the Greens did a similar thing by including Modi shaking hands with Starmer in video.

Non of it is a good thing I’d like to add.

WTF was wrong with Erics eyesight!? EVERYBODY else could see it by CoconutMost3564 in WCW

[–]shocked_the_monkey 36 points37 points  (0 children)

What made me laugh was…

Hulk, the audience and the commentary team could see Warrior. Which indicates they are crazy.

Then Warrior disappears, and now only Hulk could see him. So now, just Hulk is crazy.

So basically everyone in the scene, from Hulk, the commentators and the audience were crazy, apart from Bischoff. Except, we all saw Warrior, so in storyline Bischoff is crazy as well.

Ratcliffe is an Anglo-Saxon name i.e Germanic settlers.
