Are you Grubby? No actual human uses number pad for keybinds in games, only game Gods who learned before there were real alternatives.

Pretty sure I made it clear that my knowledge was limited and was very open to other opinions. Also admitted I was mistaken. Not sure what more you want. Learning new things is great and setting a foundation of what you think you know is useful to learning.

American flag emoji…Freedom…etc.

Hubris means ‘overvalued confidence’ I believe. Whereas cajones etc is just stubborn confidence. Similar, but importantly different.

I read back my comment and realised I didn’t acknowledge you effort enough. Thank you a lot for putting in the time to answer so thoroughly and it means a lot to me.

That’s a very good summary. Do Okinawans feel closer to other Pacific island nations that to Japan? Also, Pacific islanders are natural rugby players, does Japan get all their players from there? I could look this up, but it feels better to asm questions from someone who’s knowledgeable. And I love rugby.

Sorry, I was thinking of Hokkaido although I think both options could educate me. My understanding is that Hokkaido is the crazy northerners. Again apologies for misunderstanding you, I’m terrible at non English words.

Do they not want do be Japanese? I have no idea.

So I was going to fact check myself before I responded. But I thought it’d be more interesting to be wrong on what I think I know.

Faulkands were never occupied by Argentina. They were claimed for France and then removed by the British. It’s been British ever since and I think the few occupants want to remain British.

Old man throws toys out of pram. Everyone suffers, more in 5 mins when something else happens…

Build 5 airports, no controllers, 20% is good enough. In 50 yeara the taxpayers will pay slightly less.

I did, it does confuse me a little. As a colonial power UK gets all the hate. France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Germany etc get let off. Even though UK released it’s colonies in legal and peaceful ways on the whole.

Name a nation that hasn’t expanded or died out.

Also…I can’t figure out how to edit on this app…this seems like anti UK bot posting. Which there is a lot of. Putin is really angry with us apparently.

Depends how far you want go back, Saruman talking about Minis Tirith, when we still don’t occupy all of Rohan.

It’s a really complicated situation as far as my understanding goes (I’m British for context). I believe most British would support Irish unification, at least from the people I speak to. But still the majority (or close to) would vote to remain in the UK. Plus it’ll be outrageously expensive a transition for Ireland. I don’t know why this is and would like to know.

It’s not an easy situation, and in my own personal opinion we should be uniting as friends, allies and equals.

As a UK person, I look at Japan as a nation very similar to ours, they’ve successfully united 4 islands (plus many small) much larger than the UK and I’d love to understand how it seems so easy. They had just as many conquering bastards, but everyone is happy being Japanese.

My understanding of the Maryland accent is entirely Baltimore from the wire and the ‘aaron earned an iron urn’ video. I imagine it’s closer to ahh-iit, though. Is it the single sound of London or drawn out like I imagine?

I want him utterly embarrassed with no chance of being martyred, booted out in shame and even the most fanatic republican would turn him down a crust of bread. But for now a accept beer and whiskey/whisky.

There was a good graphic earlier I saw somewhere on Lemmy. Metal gets made in America and shipped to Canada to be made into rods which gets shipped to America (2 lots of tariffs) then to Mexico for cutting into piston pieces and back to America to be used in car making. So 1 small piece taxed from tariffs 4 times.

Might be slightly wrong on the exacts, but you get the idea. The manufacturing system has been set up for free trade in north America, you can’t just magic a new factory on US soil without spending a fortune and you can’t know if these tariffs are just going to go away soon, in which case you’re huge upfront investment was a waste.

So costs of making have gone up, possibly a lot more than 25% in some cases.

UK London and east is, ‘y’aight’, which is you all right? Shortened to one syllable.
