And if I’m honest the books are similar. I like them, but all the women are super sexy super hot and they exist for Geralt to have sex with

I’m the same, I couldn’t be bothered this time so I told him I wouldn’t help. Didnt know he was gonna do that, I feel guilty now. But I like to role play so hey it’s just more lore for my character

Interesting idea! What do you do if you’re busy in the evening and miss a show - save it til next week or do you catch up?

I think that’s a very narrow view of religion though, albeit one that is true of a lot and I agree is toxic. Ironically since you’re a UK person, it’s a type of religion I associate with the US and the American right (though I also know through friends growing up that it can be fairly common in some Muslim and Hindi groups)

I think a lot of times religion is used as a kind of cultural link: ‘this is why we have these traditions, this is a moral we have that we can explain with this story’ etc. And with that context I think it can be fine, even helpful to raise someone within a religious tradition

I guess I broadly agree with you mostly, but I would say that religion can be coherent with critical thinking and open-mindedness: it’s cultural as much as its about fundamental belief

(and when it is about fundamental belief then yeah it’s often awful)

That is a very specific usage: ‘The Government’ as a proposer of law, Parliament as approvers. Outside of a PPE course it isn’t how the term is used and I think you know this.

In day to day use the government (small g) can be talked about as comprising anyone involved in governance, from the PM down to local councillors, depending on context

Calling people out on this based on a technicality is like correcting people when they say ‘speed’ instead of ‘velocity’, and it’s super irrelevant in a thread about MPs acting in a political capacity

You seem to be confused. The phrase ‘government official’ refers to anyone acting on behalf of the government, including backbenchers. This could even include unelected aides, spokespeople or some civil servants.

You’re thinking of the cabinet. You do not have to be in the cabinet to be a ‘government official’.

As a fellow brit, these Americans correcting you are right.

Yup

Is pepperoni and jalapeños not super common?

In the UK, that’s called ‘an american’

It’ll be okay as long as you have that recipe again

BUT a lot of peated whisky is aged in bourbon casks imported from the US. I wonder if that’s included in any tariffs or separate?

I think you mean Henry Kissinger

Youse guys wanna play stickball?

Yes I mean, he’s not wrong but his thing about Ukraine is driven by his Churchill obsession, not by real world ethics

It actually sounds like he and Tolkein would get on really well

Absolutely

Global warming’ gave us that senator with the snowball

In an ideal world we wouldn’t have to moderate accurate terms to prevent bad actors making dumb arguments

But this is clearly not an ideal world

I love them all*, but the IT Crowd is at the top for me

I never actually watched dead set, but I remember it was airing at the same time I had a Media Studies project at school about zombies so the tutors kept bringing it up

Jack was Biz Markie’s only young friend

same thing lol

Except for immigrants, queer people, black people, Muslim people, and women. For those groups it is decidedly not the fucking same

But because the Democrats aren’t going to reverse capitalism and it doesn’t affect you personally, who gives a shit, right? Fuck everybody apart from you
