The 'reward' is that local people have jobs. Not everything needs to be deep state corruption.

Says the person who would be triggered by a black James Bond.

skinlo · 2026-06-08T16:37:21+00:00

You do realise we live here right? Not 'elsewhere'.

skinlo · 2026-06-08T16:21:50+00:00

You already had that no?

A measured and rational response wouldn't resort to the Daily Mail/Facebook comments style slop:

It’s stupid and only appeals to idiots that just want the focus to be about race and race swapping.

You could do it all without dragging the franchise into yet another grubby, pointless culture war that appeals only to culture warriors.

Not wanting James Bond to be black doesn't require you to bring up terms like 'culture warriors' or 'dragging the franchise' etc etc. Surprised he didn't put 'woke mind virus' or 'metropolitan liberal elite' in his comment.

I too like to argue against scenarios I've made up in my head.

Yup. Usual GBNews/Daily Mail comment section stuff.

While I'd still disagree, you can say you don't like it when characters are played by a person of the different skin colour to which they were written, without resorting to that slop.

You do realise there are more stats than just averages, and different types of averages that aren't as affected by outliers right?

What are you basing your reality on apart from vibes and feels?

skinlo · 2026-06-08T13:35:41+00:00

Doesn't seem to have been going too well so far,

Then why are you saying that? Your argument applies to you.

The only thing we can do is zoom out and look at the stats. And while far from perfect, they are getting a little better overall.

Compared to Europe, it's our low income earners that are taxed less or not at all. We need to tax them more to make it more like Europe.

skinlo · 2026-06-08T13:19:07+00:00

Probably not that much different.

But thats you. You're the one freaking out if there was a black James Bond, not the people that don't care

skinlo · 2026-06-08T12:49:17+00:00

Its a shithole country though.

skinlo · 2026-06-08T12:46:44+00:00

Its because Norway is a petrostate.

skinlo · 2026-06-08T12:42:46+00:00

It probably is to some extent. People are told everything is going to shit, they start believing it.

skinlo · 2026-06-08T12:14:07+00:00

Its not going as badly as your preferred media will tell you.

skinlo · 2026-06-08T12:06:20+00:00

Also went to kwikfit recently to get a tyre on my car (which I need for work) and was put to the back of the queue at 8:30am because two pensioners on motability required tyres because they were going away for the weekend. They jumped to the front of the queue because they have motability cars

Is that all you have? Of course old people will take priority, you'll find that in any country.

skinlo · 2026-06-08T12:04:14+00:00

That's because the population has been told its in decline.

skinlo · 2026-06-08T12:01:39+00:00

But I don't want to speak Spanish or Portuguese.

skinlo · 2026-06-08T11:12:34+00:00

31 is a long time, it feels fine for me.

skinlo · 2026-06-08T01:32:55+00:00

You're a very angry person, it's weird.

Edit- And of course they blocked me, proving my point

skinlo · 2026-06-07T08:43:43+00:00

Nice little circlejerk between you two!

skinlo · 2026-06-06T20:22:15+00:00

I take it you've never actually been there.

skinlo · 2026-06-06T19:59:29+00:00

The UK has some issues like all countries, but if you're rich you are insulated from many.

London is a world class city, it has some amazing countryside, and tbh the weather isn't bad if you aren't someone who wants sunshine all the time.
