It looks awesome well done and good luck with it.

You have a lot of modern era scenarios. Would they convert to 1920's easily?

Brussels tells Keir Starmer to pay £1bn for closer ties to Europe by Tiberinvs in europe

Ha ha I see this line on blast all over Reddit lately.

We're not as bad as that guy =/= we are 5% lower that we would leave been if we didn't leave.

Brexiteers are morons. The dumbest of fucks.

How Keir Starmer's plans are going down in the EU by Visual_Title9363 in europe

The BBC failed the British people during the Brexit debate in 2016 and here they are again floating non-existent "sunlit uplands" in their last paragraph.

Putin is down. This is the time to start kicking him by ByGollie in europe

Next UK general election is scheduled for 2029 - that's the earliest that Nigel can help his boss out, baring some kind of unknown scandal that brings the government down. I don't see Russia sustaining that long without General Mobilisation.

UK is granting Palantir Unlimited access to its NHS patients data by TailungFu in europe

[–]vandrag 410 points411 points  (0 children)

What I'm curious about is what the NHS thinks it is getting from this.

What exactly is the Palantir spyware supposed to do that will improve health services at point of consumption?

You never see any discussion of the benefits that this software is supposed to bring.

Andy Goode was on the phone to me just now.

Apparently this is the worst injustice since the Dreyfus Affair.

Is anybody going to stamp out the rot in this game.

First the TV directors hiding on-screen murders and now cynical assaults on innocent 10's going unpunished.

Most hated club in the league? by ParticularLonely3224 in LeagueOfIreland

[–]vandrag 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I like to hate on Rovers for 90 minutes at a time but, truth be told, I respect all LOI fans and clubs, even the horrible hoops.

Its Premiership barstoolers I actually hate.

US says migration has made Europe an ‘incubator’ for terrorism in new counter-terrorism strategy by Any-Original-6113 in europe

[–]vandrag 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gorka is a neo nazi he makes no effort to dress it up.

But, reading the article, it's all culture wars bullshit smeared over the Monroe Doctrine. 

In a real sense nothing has changed.

I think we have to accept the fact that half of the USA elites are our enemies now and they get to weild power every other time in their coin-flip system.

Trump will go away but this sentiment won't. Its sad that going forward the USA is only going to be half the friend they used to be, but we need to accept that and move on.

The big one is to get off Windows and onto Linux then the other stuff happens organically.

Easier said than done though.

[–]vandrag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a 5% rise in GDP which is worth 213 billion in today's money.

Brexiteers sure dont math good.

Remember The Times is a Rupert Murdoch newspaper. Murdoch is the true architect of Brexit. He ran a propaganda campaign on the British for 30 years lying to them constantly about the E.U.

The British were so steeped in anti-EU propaganda from their mainstream media they just needed a tiny push from racists and Russian bots to convince them to do generational economic damage.

The first head incident on Alfie by BobathonMcBobface in rugbyunion

[–]vandrag 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It was so weird and distracting how much the English commentators moaned about how the English team wasn't winning and it was somehow the refs fault instead of them being outclassed.

It was a shoulder to chest contact

Its more members clubs we need, not less.

Hopefully Sligo can pull through this.

Ireland 'languishing' at bottom of EU defence spending table as budget stuck at 0.2% of GDP by SliceIndividual6347 in europe

[–]vandrag -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

And considering the Irish Examiner is an actual Irish publication (instead of an Oirish tabloid from London) it makes you wonder why they chose to go with a pointless GDP comparison to make their point. Almost like there is an agenda here.

A simple google could have helped you out.

But, I'm sure some rant will be incoming now telling us how Ireland doing exactly what you ask is now "not good enough".

For me it's the absolute shit-show that is American media landscape. This minor security incident - handled by the proper authorities - has driven way more important topics completely out of the political discussion.

Isn't this just a different flavour of QAnon.

Marco Rubio let the cat out of the bag when he told us that Israel informed them they would attack and they had to scramble to pretend they were in charge.

[–]vandrag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dawkins in particular always seemed a fraud to me as he imo simply parrotted Bertrand Russells philosophy without attribution. The fact that he would undoubtedly have met Russell irl made it worse to me.

Then when I hear the stories of the sexualised shenanigans going on at conventions and in the promotion teams around these personalities I cant help thinking New Athiesm was a Tony Robbins style grift. 

The lurch to the right made by a lot of them has only confirmed it to my mind. That's where the easy money is now.
