As is everyone and everything living that you know.

Broken immigration system. Please bear with us while we turn it off and on again to see if that fixes it.

They can't burn this in their V12 that gets 1 MPG so Spain and Italy are safe.

Not only does pineapple belong on pizza, ham & pineapple pizza is the only pizza that is consistent in all three states: fresh and hot, cold, and reheated.

Why do you think he's representing Clacton. That's all they eat down there.

If I can't navigate to your house without GPS does that mean when I arrive NATO is fucking your mother?

First a $40 fee just to swipe plastic is stupid, even VISA don't charge anywhere near that much for the card machine operator. Sorry you have to deal with that.

Also does the US not have smartphone banking apps? Do you have to pay fees for a bank transfer? Is it the landlord setting those fees? I'm confused how a free at point of use system is getting slapped with a fee.

Why does everyone in the US have to write cheques to eachother, wasting everyone's time going in person to the bank to cash them in? Even my employer just does a bank transfer to pay me my income.

That's fucking ridiculous, sorry to hear that.

But why can't your landlord just accept a bank transfer every month you can set up on your banking app? Is this not a thing in the US?

Who the hell is still writing cheques? Does this landlord also contact the tenant by carrier pigeon?

Doesn't have to be 100% and definitely doesn't have to completely change overnight. Even a 1% improvement is a victory.

Again I agree, and I don't think NATO should withhold or restrict aid and training if Ukraine don't issue a statement.

And I agree that looking back over targets hit between Ukraine and Russia it is clear as day that Ukraine IS holding to the high standard in place by NATO members and is targeting only military targets.

The issue is that in the political sphere Russia and their useful idiots and apologists only need one example to try and smear the story into false "well both sides did it" narrative which you then have to pull out the long list and start going through it i.e. it takes more time to disprove a lie than to say it.

If, as it is most likely the case, Ukraine accidentally hit a random tower block then said "whoops, missed the target there, but shit happens in war, it was a guidance failure / got shot down by air defence and crashed / whatever" it provides a quick response to the story the Kremlin will try and spin out of it add to the list of examples you gave how Ukraine treats civilians vastly better than Russia.

I don't see the downside of doing this. The Kremlin wouldn't know how to respond.

I did mean that.

This is true but if it wasn't intentional Ukraine needs to release a statement if that is the case because:

1. Russia would never admit to fault and it shows Ukraine is committed to upholding the Geneva convention and therefore has the moral high ground.

2. That statement to Russian non-combatants would go a long way to winning the hearts and minds of the Russian populace. We can argue ethics and complicity of the Russian population in this war all day and night but the "enemy" treating them with more respect than Putin would make the Kremlin's propaganda department sweat buckets.

Oh for fucks sake.

I know that Ukraine's civilian population is coming under direct fire from Russia's drones and missiles and it seems unfair that Ukraine can't respond in kind.

But if Ukraine is intentionally attacking civilian targets is the quickest way for them to lose support from NATO countries and them putting restrictions on use of weapons inside Russia's borders.

It's frustrating fighting from the moral high ground, but it denies Russian allies in the western political sphere an attack angle to pressure for a reduction in Ukraine support.

Edit: added ambiguity to Ukrainian intentions to stick to the story shown.

As an Englishman who has been loosely following the French elections since 2022, I think your theory is sound.

I can't believe Garth Marenghi's Darkplace didn't make the list.

McGonagall spots him, confiscates it, goes back to her office, sparks it back up and gets to ripping phat drags.

Given that Potter is a blank slate of which JK Rowling occasionally used to espouse derisions against characters' actions that didn't align with her "don't-rock-the-boat" neo-liberal attitude, Potter would 100% act like that.
