No, that’s cooler than being cool

Huh, thanks. TIL

Did that Romulan steal the bird of prey from a Klingon or something?

Bleurgh!

Too late.

I am offended beyond belief

For something more exotic, I would like to buy the ability to travel back in time.

Other than that, proficiency / mastery of musical instruments and coding or hacking abilities.

South Korea will now only send weapons that maim and terrify.

Now you are just misinterpreting my points and starting to sound silly.

Refugees and migrants are two different groups. Migrants are long term residents. Refugees are not.

The fact that it is common does not mean it is a good practice.

IF there was decent AI translation, the whole issue would not be existant, would it?

I am quite happy to be able to discuss with you in a foreign language, without the help of AI. It means I am independent, which is a kind of freedom that, to me, belongs to feeling human.

Whilst I agree with some of your points, the notion that Europe “may be bad at migration” and being “shit” to others whilst protecting their culture comes of as uninformed at best and holier than thou preachy at worst.

No one is under the illusion that a migrant has to speak perfectly. But they should be competent enough to function in order to integrate into the society.

I have plenty of experience in my social circle where this is not the case. Those people rely on friends and family when it comes to simple tasks such as doctor appointments.

Concerning the language issue, it does not matter that a language is “globally niche”.

If people want to migrate to a specific country long term, the spoken language has to be learned to become a member of society and prevent the forming of parallel societies.

Expensive liquor. Gin, Whiskey, Rum. I would try all the premium stuff.

Also, high quality organic meat only.

The PS2 is the best Sony system to me.

Back when it came out, it was so much better than everything else up to this point.

This, coupled with many games that started fanchises and/or were highly stylish and creative, and had new Equipment (GuitarHero, SingStar, EyeToy) make it the GOAT.

One side clearly is the aggressor here. To pick their side is not a good look and makes other countries question China’s intentions.

I must say, I did not notice this lately.

If this really is the case it would mean a big step back. 30 years or so ago, censoring was mainly due to prudish broadcasting networks.

Nowadays it probably will be to not offend the easily offended crowd. Let’s hope it won’t catch on.

Anything between 28 and 32 sounds fine.

So if I am reading this correctly, the problem is that UK students are not interested in going abroad (weak foreign language skills) and many Continental European students want to come to the UK (as almost everyone is learning English).

This means the UK has to pay more money than it receives.

But with this money, they would be ‘buying’ the chance to hold the interest of highly educated young people, who might love the British way of life and come back to work in the UK…

Sounds like just another step into economical and cultural irrelevancy.

Wait, the thing about ads while fueling your car is real?

WTF?!

Isn’t there a possibility to vote for a third / minor party?

If yes, this would be the best choice instead of not voting.

Cue, 30 seconds of annoying intro music
