Andy Saxon?

Bloody Normans coming over here, establishing our parliament and codifying the rule of common law that our modern judicial system is based upon!

Don’t you know that the DPRK is a literal utopia where nothing bad has, or will ever happen and reports of millions of starving people, political executions and forced Labour camps are nothing but American propaganda?

People put flags up to protect are culcha. Cancel culture council took some down because of elf and safety gone mad. People put more flags up because they won’t let the govimint tell us wot to do. Ignoring the fact that only a few got taken down because they were on lampposts and posed a risk to drivers.

And it’s all driven by gammon constantly being triggered by brown people.

My head hurts

Not really the incident school wise but personally was for me. This is back in the days before things like dyspraxia and ADHD were regularly identified and so I was therefore a disruptive nightmare in several classes where I wasn’t stimulated correctly. Professionals were brought into the school (at great expense I’m sure) to try and analyse the bad behaviour.

It was in a meeting between several teachers, supervisors and my mum (who was herself a head teacher of a different school) and she asked why it was that I didn’t act up in maths or English or science and it was only in music, RE and geography I couldn’t be controlled in and maybe I wasn’t the problem but it was certain teachers weren’t actually very good at controlling classes or providing a stimulating enough environment then politely told the school to get bent and we went to get ice cream.

The actual incident at the school was the music teacher Mr Mann getting caught masturbating in the classroom between lessons by a TA and several students.

So apparently even saying “Free Free Palestine” now counts as discriminatory chant now?

The way the threats escalate in Pandemic from the infection deck and how periodically you increase the threat and then add all the places that have already been infected back to the top of the deck so they’re coming right back at you.

Bohnanza is the same and it’s one of the best card games ever.

How did you turn my comment into something that supports your warped point of view (some time after I actually posted it which means you specifically went looking for something to get upset about.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think Downfall is probably the best film of this type as it shows the ultimate story of the defeated person, a lot of the criticism comes from people who don’t want to see Hitler as a human person rather as some sort of evil boogeyman

Connor McDavid loves this one weird trick

Please keep stealing it and keeping me in a job putting it back in again.

I’ve had several nights like this. Oh no! I lost again! 🥹

So you’d actually be OK with a christofascist dictatorship as long as people you don’t like get oppressed as well? Cool.

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?

I only use the camera for casual pictures and it’s fine. It’s still the same lenses and sensors after all. The camera app obviously isn’t as all singing all dancing as stock but perfectly functional, has all the features you’d expect.

Graphene rules

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.
