  • the session at times degenerated into name-calling, fearmongering and outright lying. The two candidates traded insults, incited anti-China sentiment, differed over women’s rights and whether the country is facing an invasion by hordes of violent, pet-eating criminal immigrants, and agreed on backing the genocidal regime in Israel. There was little articulation by either candidate of a coherent vision for the country.

    That’s exactly how the world saw this, spot on mate 😂 I think they need to look up the definition of “debate”



  • Soooooo many pretentious replies in this thread, they’re always the same.

    Fuck that boring crap, start with good old light-hearted fiction.

    Try -

    The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out Of A Window And Disappeared

    The Breach by Travis Lee

    The Dublin Trilogy by Caimh McDonnell (all 5 of them, dear god they’re hilarious)

    The Girl With All The Gifts

    Invasion by DC Alden

    A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman (Anxious People is amazing too)

    Wayward Pines by Blake Crouch (Recursion too)

    The Idiots’ Club by Tony Moyle

    And of course, The Internet Is A Playground by David Thorne

    Waaaaaay more entertaining than all the classics mentioned, a very small selection of contemporary authors are vastly superior to the writers of yesteryear

    Edit - downvoted by the wanks that think reading George Orwell makes them clever lmao. Once you get over 30 you realise that books are for entertaining, not to leave on your coffee table to try to seem interesting

    It’s got to be ham and cheese. No matter where you go, usually two out the three will be excellent, so a good sandwich is easily available

    France - Amazing bread, amazing cheese, good ham

    Spain - Crap bread, reasonable cheese, world class ham

    UK - crap bread, world class cheese, good ham

    Germany - world class bread, good cheese, amazing ham

    America - bread that has to be called cake in other countries because of the sugar content, homogenised dairy product, and chlorine-washed minced pork-amalgam

    Ah shit it was going so well

    I suspect this will be a controversial comment
