Very good points. I walk to our gym and I suppose that is a luxury. Even better if everyone had a place they could easily walk to. And also +1 on the child care point.

It depends on how you work out. Although I agree pairing with a healthy diet is a must.

Just fine his assets like Brazil did. This is the only language that moron understands.

After almost three years Biden says now is the time to allow Ukraine to use long range missiles. Something they’ve been asking about since the start. Is it perhaps a play to embarrass Trump if he thinks about rescinding this permission. That would clearly put him in alignment with Putin. I didn’t think Joe had it in him to think this strategically. Shame it is at the end of his presidency.

It’s also lower risk for him than it is for European allies that will inevitably be called out and targeted by Russia. Are the other bordering and near bordering counties so willing to escalate the war?

feddit.uk Christmas presents?

I wonder how much it would cost to fund a nation wide programme of heavily subsidised gym usage. Bring the price right down to say £20 a month per user. Provide an allocation of personal trainers and physiotherapists. Create a vocational qualification if they don’t exist. Expand the availability of gyms so that they are convenient.

Surely the long term health benefits (in addition to the benefits for your mental health) are going to be cheaper than jabbing yourself with drugs?

Gradually? Why the fuck can’t it just group notifications but alert once. Especially for messaging apps. 🤣

That reminds me. I should post my Christmas cards tomorrow. Otherwise they might not arrive for after Christmas.

The Clown College Populous or CCP for short.

The ultimate goal is for their governments to recognize the genocide convention and immediately halt arms shipments to Israel. Primarily the US, the UK and Germany.

I do agree. But I also think these countries never will because it’s not in their interests to do so.

The more of this evidence comes to light the more obvious it becomes to the layman their government is lying through their teeth.

I also fear that the layman doesn’t give a shit either. If they did, MPs would be flooded with complaints 24/7 until the genocide was admitted and stopped. But as it happens people are more concerned about getting on the housing ladder and farmers trying to save inheritance tax.

Again, I wish it weren’t the case but it is. And I’m sorry there’s not a more palatable answer to this. It fucking sucks 😞.

I’m in the dark here

That’s a feature in Mastodon not a bug 🙃 /s.

What’s the goal here? The UK (and the US, and the French, and the Germans, and just about anyone you care to mention that has any sort of influence in the region) aren’t going to be embarrassed or gotcha’d into calling out the genocide by Israel. So what is the goal here?

At this point the genocide is undeniable but clearly enough people don’t give a shit to do anything about it. I wish it were different but I just don’t see it happening.

But but… The Gooooooogles!

It’s the article that my quote is from in the original reply. Not sure you’ve read it 🤔? Those are the facts from the linked story.

Where have you plucked this “selective enforcement” nonsense from?

This article isn’t about UK border checks. Why are you bringing up whataboutism arguments?

Yea but that’s not the reality of today, alas.

What is plain is that the EU customs and border officials failed to do their job properly. For a bloc that goes on and on about “the rule of law” they sure do know when to apply the rule of law.

But Farrand added the Guild is granted a special licence each year to import cheeses, and British cheesemakers complied with all the conditions.

On Friday morning, however, it became apparent that the cheeses hadn’t been cleared. “The reasons are unclear to me, even on Friday we were still fighting to get some clarity and clear instruction on what wasn’t right, but we had no success,” Farrand told the Observer yesterday.

The competition granted the correct paperwork, the British cheese makers complied with the paperwork, but the EU customs officials didn’t do their job properly? That’s basically what this quote implies.

Wait till they hear about the HA-RAM proxy… For when your memory needs to be available now!

Do… do you think tea is peanut butter?
