As tensions mount are deliberately inflamed by bad actors

More (anti) war films from the “wrong” side’s perspective. Flags of our Fathers and All Quiet on the Western Front are compelling as they tell stories that we all know but from a fresh point of view making you compare and contrast the experiences from both sides.

Something that fleshed out the lives and motivations of VC or NVA troops during the Vietnam War would be interesting as they’re only ever portrayed as screaming fanatics who’s only existence is to shoot at Americans in most films.

Or the story of a conscripted German teenager sent to Normandy on the eve of the allied invasion and the all-encompassing dread that must overwhelmed them as ships and planes fill the sea and sky.

Or what life must have been like on board a Japanese aircraft carrier before Midway, that unshakeable belief in your own destiny as a people filled with propaganda about your own superiority and stories of your endless victories to be so utterly shattered in a cataclysmic defeat. The ultimate story of hubris.

Sorry, am I missing something? Don’t the Army train their soldiers themselves? They’re literally training Ukrainian recruits and special forces and have a proven track record in training other forces so why do we now suddenly have to rely on 3rd party contractors to do it?

A certain section of society watched The Handmaid’s Tale (they wouldn’t read it because books are bad) and thought: “yes please, let’s have some of that thank you very much” this is the thin end of the wedge.

They keep making these big deals with tech companies saying they’ll add more money to the economy despite these businesses like Google being nothing but extractive and pulling money out of the markets they operate in and putting it into the hands of the tech-bros while simultaneously eroding the basic freedoms and qualities of living in the UK.

Google paid just £50M in tax last year on £1.8B an effective tax rate of 0.28%.

Stop sucking the genitalia of big tech companies, they’re literally the worst.

Wait until they find out that St George was from Turkey.

I know exactly what they meant and the only difference between the etched glass screen and the regular screen on the earlier models was the surface of the glass and that’s primarily due to the reduction in glare. Which is replicated 99% as effectively with a matte glass overlay. I have done side by side comparisons between mine and my friends one who got the etched glass and you cannot tell the difference. Especially since the first thing you want to do on the etched glass model is put a screen protector on top to protect it anyway.

The OLED is a significant upgrade on both.

It’s easier to police the users than it is to get social media companies to actually do the literal minimum amount of work to protect children. Plus it has the added benefit of greatly expanding the surveillance infrastructure so they can clamp down on those pesky 80 year old nuns who oppose genocide.

I got the entry model and an etched screen protector and upgraded to a 1tb ssd and saved myself a couple hundred. This was pre OLED though so YMMV

At least they have to pay VAT right Keir?

Protect are culcha

Protect are kids

Darkies can fack orf

But what about those immigrants, amirite guys?!

The fluorescent tubes to power this thing all day for months probably uses more power than my router does in its life time.

Career liar and fraudster tries to bully her way out of yet another investigation into her lying and fraudulent behaviour.

Can’t wait until she loses. Again.

1 - get off your high horse

2 - they asked a double question about how did Stalin and Hitler rise to power and how does fascism take hold in a society, they didn’t equate Stalinism with fascism.

I wondered how long it would take for a .ml to turn up and contribute absolutely nothing.

Taking a break from GTA4 to play HuniePop which is just a fun little match 3 puzzler with occasional anime tiddies which is good for little 10 minute bursts which is 90% of my available playtime at the minute.
