I’d be more miserable without that food than I am with gastro issues. Fuck that.

Or something entirely different may happen…

We got fuckin’ Nostradamus over here 😂

Interesting, I didn’t realize I had that wrong! I thought they were all kind of mini countries, not quite meeting the “standard” bar - thanks for the clarifications!

I can’t answer most of your questions, but one is easy:

The UK is a country. None of Northern Ireland, England, or Scotland are countries - they’re all a part of the UK.

You may or may not notice an outlier here: Ireland, which is not part of the UK and is its own country. Note that Northern Ireland is part of the UK, and is not a part of Ireland (despite being on the island of Ireland). The UK and the Irish have a… strained relationship.

Britain is the big island, not a country itself.

So to recap:

• The UK and Ireland are both countries.

• The UK is (primarily) made up of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

• Britain and Ireland are both islands. The Island of Ireland consists of Ireland (the country) and Northern Ireland (part of the UK).

VS Code slow and bloated? Someone hasn’t been spending nearly enough time in IntelliJ

I don’t think Trump can kill Hitler

Yay for the American oligarchs

They don’t care about the outcomes of their actions, they care about their feelings as they make the actions. That’s it. Stop wasting your time arguing with children 🤷‍♂️

It’s usually between someone you kinda don’t like and someone you kinda like, so the stakes are lower. This year we had to choose between The Antichrist and Some Boring Lady, but this country hates women 🤷‍♂️

Containers of fish are extremely easy to weigh.

The short answer is just that doing so would be ridiculously difficult and expensive. Funnily enough, “launch it into the sun” is actually the easy part at this point. If we could collect all of the ocean’s trash, we probably would have done so and compressed it by now.

Only hours? lol then that’s fine

I love Balatro, but this is definitely recency bias. It’s going to mostly fade from mainstream popularity and acclaim long before then.

Agreed on it being the CCNA. That is the definitive intro to cisco networking certs, especially in undergrad

“We are not choosing between a greater evil and a lesser evil.”

No, of course not… you’re just choosing to make it easier for the greater evil to win. Great job 👏 such patriots!

“Just days AFTER ?”

Someone’s getting fired for being so slow.

____pilled is a mindset. Black is depressed, given up, etc.

The problem is that they kinda do, though… any of the 5 permanent members (US, UK, France, Russia, China) can veto a state seeking membership to the UN. Obviously other countries can still recognize them, but being excluded from the UN precludes lots of services and agreements, and at a minimum just makes everything harder

Because one of the candidates that stands a chance of winning is anti-genocide, right? Otherwise this wouldn’t be agood-faith comparison, right?

Anyone voting Democrat or Republican is complicit in Genocide and should face tribunals.

Really great job silencing yourself to prove a point. People who don’t participate in society are great at enacting change 🙄
