I truly understand those men who have such a deep porn addiction that they can’t open a laptop for 5 minutes without searching for it, but for me the website is ‘Google Maps’ and my favourite category is ‘Faroe Islands’

Whether you’re an Orangeman or in the RA, you have to admit this is an incredibly funny thing to post
What if russia occupied 20% of your country?

Also really reinforces the idea that English is the standard international language ‘default’ language. Makes it look like we invented the script and all the other losers just copied us.
english not using them even though we really should is so funny. how did that happen

What I’m noticing about the Tiger debate is that it’s polarising, but not along the usual axis. Maybe in the future it’ll be pro-Tiger vs anti-Tiger parties competing in elections.

“Surely the Tower of London can’t keep allowing visitors to see rooms where people were tortured?” “Surely the military museum can’t show weapons used in battle?” Bro, that’s why people are going
Fair enough.. but what now? Surely a park popular with tourists and families cannot go on featuring in its enclosure a tiger that actually killed one of the park’s visitors?

Of course, if you strip out absolutely all context then statements may seem less reasonable. We’re not doing a trolley problem with a tiger on one track and a person on the other, it was a man entering the tiger’s enclosure, which is the key consideration.
Correct take. If you value an animal life the same as a human life, there's probably something wrong with you and you should get help. A likely ill, disabled or psychotic human being gets eaten alive and freaks feel bad for the tiger. Who gives a shit about the tiger.

He should have just said that then. He’s a currently living person; we shouldn’t have to interpret his statements like they’re hadiths of the Prophet (PBUH).
Everybody’s missing Tao’s whole point. Imagine an AI-generated cancer drug that’s specifically designed to game the drug trial process. The drug makes the cancer cells go dormant and changes the way they appear in blood tests and diagnostic imaging, such that they become indistinguishable from healthy tissue. The drug clears the trial and then only much later do we find out it didn’t work. It probably was also harmful on top of that. We *already* see AI behave like that when confronted with difficult programming/hacking challenges. This is already reality.

Apart from the obvious, a benefit of the death penalty is signalling to politicians that running the country is a serious business, not some wholesome chungus reddit Paddington larp. Ed Davey’s “Oh look how whimsical I am” wouldn’t work if he had to sign the odd death warrant.

Even as a man who does try to dress reasonably well (thought not at all in this Peaky Blinders aesthetic), the answer is still “No” To sound like a leftist, there are a range of structural reasons beyond “men today lack values”
Dear men can you please return to dressing like this?

At home, ironing shirts isn’t an excessively onerous task, but it is one more in a household where the wife is more likely to have her own job, and the husband to share child rearing duties.

If you have the metabolism of a healthy young man, then most indoor public spaces (pubs, shops, etc.) with their central heating are far too warm for multiple layers of wool. Even if it works in the 10C outside, you’ll be sweating in the 25C suited for children and old ladies.

As a married man (admittedly without kids yet) who does the vast majority of the laundry, it is not that hard. • Women generate more laundry as they wear more clothes as they’re always cold • Just don’t be insanely neurotic about washing every piece of fabric after 1ms of use
If you want your clothes to last longer than 6 months and don’t want to walk around looking disheveled, laundry is actually a Herculean task and truly the most annoying part of running a house. It is constantly pilling up, you are forever drowning in it, just when you get through a load there’s now two more waiting for you somehow. If men were responsible for properly doing the laundry for an entire household they’d abandon their families en masse.

Dan’s purposefully ignoring the key difference between something like Southport and Ann is that she wasn’t a ‘random’ target She was a politician who was apparently killed for her political beliefs If that was so, her death is inescapably political
Replying to @John_EdwardsUK
“We will fight on. For Ann. For our country”. So that’s not politicising it then…

Dr John Dee correctly foreseeing that founding the British Empire would give rise to thicc ethnic baddies four-and-a-half centuries hence, 1577, colourised
There are countries here in which people have a genetic mutation to conserve body fat because of British induced famines.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
A genetic mutation spreading through a population via selection would take many thousands of years - far longer than the ~150-200 years since events like the Irish Famine or Bengal famines. More importantly, no such "thrifty" gene has been found to exist. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16784175/
