  1. Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

    It's an interesting take on unverified/unchecked imported products, that will probably vary from end user to end user. Would you mind to be a consumer of unchecked cheese? Meat? Phones? Cars? Airplanes? Dializers?
  2. Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

    Besides 150M people, control of a huge proportion of the world's most demanded resources, a military victory and the certainty of total external and internal impunity? I mostly agree with your points though, and think that that's the way some political and military analists are seeing it. I...
  3. Elon Musk | Owner of X

    Is there something like a straw man fallacy but on crack? I don't know, a Wicker man fallacy for instance....
  4. What is our problem ?

    Maybe defining the problem first, then devising a possible solution, a finally executing that solution without immediately jumping to conclusions?
  5. 2024 U.S. Elections

    Electorally speaking, shouldn't the democrats overburden DJT with one lawsuit after another, meaning both less time for Trump to focus on campaigning and more billable hours for his legal team that will come out of the GOP campaigning budget? The risk of course if that he gets away with some...
  6. 2024 U.S. Elections

    Trump wins, dies shortly after and one of them becomes the first woman POTUS:nervous::nervous:
  7. Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

    Let's ignore for a minute the questionable source, the fact that time is linear and that these supposed negotiations about peace deals took place in March while Russia's invasion of Ukraine began in February (for starters, the Bucha massacre was an ongoing event at the time). And also the fact...
  8. Donald Trump The First - Indicted The Fourth

    How do some people dare to not only know and apply the law that is the basis of both the entire representative democracy and their jobs, but to actually try and enforce it. The nerve.
  9. Jadon Sancho | 2023/24 Performances | Dortmund (loan)

    €35m is the most Dortmund has paid for a player (Dembélé). Dortmund's highest paid player right now (Haller) males £181k per week. I don't think BVB is going to be breaking both their transfer record and their salaries structure to get a (checks notes) 24 year old, 2 goals in 10 games forward...
  10. U17 World Cup to now be held every year & next 5 to be held in Qatar

    And those same players also have the opportunity to participate in the U20 world cup years later, and after that in the adult World Cup. So it isn't a big detriment to their careers. And on paper it's reasonable. Thing is, when you combine both arguments (tournaments only hosted by countries...
  11. U17 World Cup to now be held every year & next 5 to be held in Qatar

    I was thinking the same :lol: what Sepp did (which was pretty corrupt and disgraceful on its own right) comparatively speaking is a very, very light version of what Infantino is getting away with lately.
  12. U17 World Cup to now be held every year & next 5 to be held in Qatar

    Don't all of these apply to adult football as well? Should we do the same?
  13. Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

    Whataboutism at its finest. Funny thing is, 20 years ago the only political leader that was already in power (and therefore personally accountable) was Putin.
  14. Donald Trump The First - Indicted The Fourth

    Who would've thought McAfee will fail to prevent systems corrupting. IIRC most of the causes passed though.
  15. Jadon Sancho | 2023/24 Performances | Dortmund (loan)

    But this didn't happen. Concerning your previous assesment I'd ask, it's Pogba's career better than those of: -Kopa -Fontaine -Platini -Papin -Zidane -Henry -Mbappe
