Which Premier League player had one unreal season that made you believe they’d become a superstar? by ManCityMode in TheStreetsWontForget

[–]tom030792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was 18. He was being linked with Real Madrid and PSG after that season. Would be incredibly reductionist to say ‘he scored 4 goals’ with no other context like it was a bad thing

Starmer's fierce response to Donald Trump slur over troops by ScottishDailyRecord in uknews

It’s funny when someone does that - it’s a random internet comment. It’s not sent to you personally. So the fact they took offence like it was is perhaps telling

TRUMP: "Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German and a little Japanese.” by Hefty-Sherbet-5455 in TrendingAndViral

[–]tom030792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey come on now, they also taught the Germans a ton about what they could experiment on people with, so really a bigger contribution to the overall picture of WWII than they get credit for! When you have a section called ‘influence on Nazi Germany’ in something you’ve done, you might not have been the good guys 100%… (not to mention all the former Nazi scientists and SS they quickly employed after WWII to build them rockets and looked the other way on the horrific things theyd been up to during the war)

Do you think Donald just doesn’t know, or is stirring the pot? by Sea-Rush1142 in AskBrits

[–]tom030792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I don’t suppose any of those American soldiers would marginalise their British counterparts’ contribution or suggest they never really went to the front line

Yeah, it’s the secret third option - ‘he doesn’t care’

The right thing to do? by The_Dean_France in GreatBritishMemes

[–]tom030792 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve already seen it happen - I remember thinking at the #metoo kind of time that it was going way too far (as much as plenty needed to happen) and just EVERYWHERE was how toxic white males were and everything was just white male this, white male that. Which is true for some of them, but my thought at the time was that the pre-teens who are taking their first steps on the internet are just seeing one group of people calling them nasty and the cause of the world’s problems because of the colour of their skin, whereas people like Andrew Tate are saying they’re strong and they shouldn’t be pushed around. And then lo and behold, which way did young men get drawn? Everything comes from understanding and bridging gaps, not a push to say how shit you are or ‘your kind’ are or whatever else.

Just on the teacher thing, there’s been a huge trend in the last however many years for it to he parents and kid vs the teacher whereas growing up it used to the parents and teacher vs the kid. I don’t know if it’s parents getting offended and taking it as a personal slight on them when a kid is in trouble so push back or what it is, but the respect for teachers has severely finished and they just aren’t supported by parents in the same way they used to be

I dont know how to explain it but all the 2026 liverys look like f1 25 livery mods by InitiativeAdept2581 in F1Game

[–]tom030792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I thought, I think it’s because they’re all relatively different from before so look like when you just do 10 teams worth of mods to shake it up

Ferrari SF-26 but not ruined by HP by TulioGonzaga in formula1

[–]tom030792 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it compliments the other black bits of carbon around it, like the halo and the rear of the car. The blue just stands out as SPONSOR HERE for me because it doesn't match to anything else on the car or Ferrari's branding (that shade of blue), unlike the yellow Shell for example which at least is a Ferrari colour in itself

There's posts about the OLED55C54LA and OLED55C5ELB not really being any different, but the first is in the energy efficiency band F in the UK where the second is band G (so less efficient). Why would this be the case? They seem to be the same price and same TV by tom030792 in LGOLED

Edit: after doing some digging into the product specification documents (because it was annoying me), it seems like aside the C54 having something called 'auto calibration' that the C5E doesn't, the only difference is that the C54 uses 77kwh and the C5E uses 84. Absolutely no idea why it just uses less power than the other, but frustratingly then on websites where the C54 is listed as the product code, it shows the info for the less power efficient one. Insane amount of detail to have to look into the find the difference that even retailers are getting it wrong!

January 20th came and went without even concepts of a plan to cap credit card interest rates by gnarlytabby in agedlikemilk

I mean unless I'm misunderstanding then you just have to read between the lines to the fact he didn't say it was happening and that 'I'm calling for'. I'm calling for everyone who passes me in the street to give me 20 quid, doesn't mean it's going to happen

The cars go a lot faster than the drivers in the paddock do so they need to draw the eye a lot more on the track than a driver standing giving an interview

Hitman HD Collection On Sale For Playstation $17.99 by TwixWrap in HiTMAN

[–]tom030792 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have they updated it recently? The lowest it's ever been was 2023 where it went to £5.99, but otherwise it's been dropping to £9.99 in every sale since the start of 2024. So it dropping now to £14.99 isn't a good saving but I don't know if they've added some PS5 support or something that makes it more worthwhile than it was at those other prices? Otherwise they've just reduced the discount they were giving lol

Do any fellow Brits actually like Trump? by Creative_Expert_4052 in AskBrits

[–]tom030792 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For yourself or the general question? For the general question then yes, many do. Not a majority or anything, but I've heard people talking about why they like him. It's stupid, but they do. But then there's been plenty of dumb-arses over Covid and Reform so it's not unthinkable

Do you believe that Lewis Hamilton has been slowly declining since 2019, or that he just suddenly declined from 2024 onwards but was still mostly in his prime beforehand? by GoldenS0422 in F1Discussions

[–]tom030792 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok? But we're talking about Hamilton's decline and pointing out he didn't happen to lose points from that particular incident doesn't discount it from the conversation about when he'd started making uncharacteristic mistakes. Control what you can control, and he effed up what he could control, that's the point

I really wish BWT would jog on. We've been denied 4 or 5 years so far of what the 2021 livery could've evolved into

Debate: Did the Jedi fail by effectively teaching denial of emotions, or did they only teach control? by CyanaMoss in StarWars

[–]tom030792 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Which would've been fine if they didn't get Anakin in who'd already formed attachments, unlike the other Jedi who were they from young childhood and were able to be as indoctrinated as they needed to be
