Jeez. in the UK the last time petrol prices were the equivalent of 4 bucks per gallon was 22 years ago.
Right now we're sitting at around £1.60 per litre which is just over $8 per gallon equivalent.
100% happened. Saw it with my own eyes, both the decision making and execution/aftermath. The lie is pretending it didn't happen, and I have no idea why anyone would go to bat for war crimes.
US used double taps pretty extensively in Afghanistan and Iraq. It's certainly not a phenomenon tied to just Russia and Israel.
That’s bare minimum. I’d have to redact what I actually would prefer to happen to him 🤭
Rightly so. I wish him nothing but warm pillow on both sides, Lego at the top of the stairs, slow charging on every device and watered down expensive drinks at every bar.
Your commitment to the bit re. describing Hegseth every single time is commendable 😅
No problem! Thank you making the point about shit like this happening all the time, though. It definitely needs highlighting more.
That… that is the point I’m making.
Gin and tonic? Well hot damn, count me in.
That’s fair, thanks for the taking the time to reply.
Tone can get lost or misconstrued through text, and as you rightly say, constrained even more in short form.
I think I was just caught a little off guard by the original thread. Like I said, absolutely no hard feelings, at all. Thanks again!
They are, and I acknowledged I have a lot of respect for their work here. As I explained, given the state of the world, stripping nuance and especially context from an event like this can be counter-productive from a broader perspective. What is strictly legal isn’t necessarily right, after all.
I do value what you do here, and extend my thanks to you for the time and effort you put in.
No hard feelings from my side, at all.
is something that again is a playbook straight out of the Kremlin. If a Russian sub had done this, I’m sure the tone from a lot of people would be much harsher and packed full of contextualisation as to why maybe this should be viewed more critically.
All that said, I’d like to again reiterate 4/5
can be a dangerous thing to do in this precarious climate of maximalist geopolitics. Just because something is legal doesn’t make it right, ethically or morally. See many such examples of this in modern history. US DoD setting up consent and pretext for legitimately heinous acts down the line 3/5
“Might is Right” rogue terror state intent on an accelerationist policy to some biblical end-times, I think it’s a rocky coast to sail giving a blanket “they did nothing wrong”. Stripping context, nuance or even acknowledgement that there may be more to it than just a simple legal precedent 2/5
I agree with this too, and I have a lot of respect for the work, insight and resources you provide.
I’m also inclined to generally mostly agree with you on the actions of the US sub off Sri Lanka, too. But only in a vacuum.
Taken into context of how the US is positioning itself as a Putinised, 1/5
Honestly, this isn’t a good look.
Deliberately lighting a fire over a contentious issue, pouring fuel on it then walking away declaring de-facto victory is exactly what Washington does these days.
There’s ways to get your point across without resorting to this level of trite smugness.
Where do you stand on white chocolate not actually being chocolate? Cos you’d be fine talking about white chocolate if it isn’t, in fact, chocolate.
Hey, wanna go on a date? I have blonde hair now btw
We’re back! Finally.
IT IS TRUE!

Holy jeepers. Mister Bear!!
Welcome back 😊
What in the fresh hell did I just open this app up and see? 😅
Honestly, the good manufacturers work miracles hiding the mass of modern day performance cars with damping and setup configurations. But once you get one off the road and onto a track the illusion drops and you really start to feel the weight.
Oh hello, who’s this cutie?? 🥺
I think the hybrids have their place, then again I’m a dinosaur and lust after the soul piercing scream of F1 V10’s and pre-OPF large displacement road cars. I understand it’s not everyone’s thing but for me, sound is a huge part of the connection with a car.
