I am at that stage as parent.

I’m thoroughly enjoying it. It’s a case of “here’s the medical term for $ReproductiveOrgan” so they know how to use it in formal discussion, “… but here’s what you may hear it reterred to as, and why” and many laughs are had.

Is it the best way? Probably not, but it’s a good giggle.

Another backhanded “positive action” comment is “I’m going to give that the attention it deserves” and nine times out of ten it will be absolute fucking rot so no, that’s going to the bottom of the list. Cheers though.

…your genitals, whuuuut

Absolutely. Chris Brown is a prime example. I quite like some of his collab tunes, but I absolutely refuse to give any money - a percentage or not - to that wifebeating spunktrumpet.

In fact, the fact that I’m actively screwing him out of money makes me enjoy the song more.

The US brought weight in technology and numbers that ended the war in a much faster fashion.

To use the term “brilliance” is a stretch though, the US wasted thousands (if not more) of soldiers doing the same shit that other allied nations tried and failed, all in the “we know best” mentality.

The US should rightly celebrate being a part of a wider successful military effort. To say they were better or integral though is… creative, to say the least.

Full disclosure: I only have a surface level understanding of both world wars, I know there’s nuance and depth that will turn most historians a shade of angry purple and I apologise in advance 😊

Not to try and think in too much of an abstract sense, but I used to watch bus doors open in town (or even see glimpses of the world beyond the train station entrance) and wonder what was beyond those strange portals to different parts of the world with different surroundings and different ways of life and different priorities in the world.

Now I think I’m less wanderlust and more Dee Dee.

fuckin

I’m not sure about elsewhere in the world, but daytime TV in the UK is full of programmes where people want to move house to somewhere a little nicer or chilled - whether it’s to escape the rat race, bring up kids outside of a city, to retire, whatever. They have the strangest “contestants” though, like (and I’m pulling these from my arse but I doubt they’re far from the truth) meeting Tarquin, 44, a part time artist; and Helena, 49, who volunteers at the local farmers market.

“Their budget is 1.2 million pounds”

what the actual fuck

I think it’s just a three or four hour entertainment show with a bit of American football thrown in every now and then.

Great if you want to see a concert on a field in the middle of a sports game I suppose.

I struggle with cricket.

Great sport, cracking late drama, and I really enjoy an afternoon out fielding and seeing what the batsman comes up with next…

…but TV coverage is just mindbogglingly boring now, even with the integration of interpolated camera angles and live stats and all the bells and whistles that come with modern coverage. At least it is for the British game - I would suggest that if you look east to the IPL or even to the T20 game, there’s a lot more fun and games at play.

Test cricket seems to be born for radio though, there’s something quite relaxing about having a cricket game on Radio 5 in the garage or the workplace.

Or not, if you’re going for those sweet sweet RTA timezzzz

Amazing.

To even have the balls to count the “probable” causes in your stats is to have absolute balls in your stats.

Well done Uganda Squad, you have done the world proud.

(If anyone thinks this is a piss take then no - identifying, confronting, and clearing one of humanities biggest threats is no laughing matter. Max respect.)

oh no

e: well I expected this low-effort comment to get buried within seconds so just to be clear, it’s purely a mathematical theory where if you had two pentagons and an extra vertex, then only 9/11 of the edges would tesselate correctly. I’m not sure what that is in Radians, but it’s definitely an American 77 units for sure.

You’re absolutely right. The NBC article is gash.

I’m not sure what your comment is trying to prove though?

If you were engaged enough to comment your theory on the article, then surely you were engaged enough to read the article; see in the first couple of paragraphs that the news was the result of a family statement; search for that statement; find a People article with further details on the death (which admittedly problematic as it’s an exclusive article, meaning options for corroboration are few); but noting that the claim initially came from a family member along with a brother that was staying with her - two people who I’m making an assumption are the most likely to challenge any kind of coverup?

I just don’t understand the logic of throwing a theory out there and proudly claiming that you haven’t read the article? I do understand that I came across as a cunt in that initial reply and I apologise to you directly, but I’m interested in dissenting opinion as always.

To be clear, I’m not saying you’re 100% wrong - I’m saying there’s very little in the way of currently available facts to support your assertion.

It’s almost as if the details were right there a single finger tap or click away.

Or at least as a starting point for your own research.

My academic institution took the more sensible approach of just making the exams open book, and adjusting the questions to demonstrate understanding and application of the concepts, rather than just recite stuff.

Edinburgh is a banger. Great support for families, spacious, and generally chill - decent transport links too.

The departures lounge is starting to sprawl with retail now though, but can’t have everything I suppose.
