In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Top quality banter!

All the other professors should threaten to resign imo.
It terrifies me that this implies numerous parents raised their kids to feel like that they should take a stand on this.

Hard to say what's worse... The gormless ignorant brats who complained. The university and the dean's predictable grovelling response. Or the fact the guy actually volunteered to step down despite doing nothing wrong. Scary stuff.
"Caused great pain and upset among students ... unacceptable for faculty to use words in class that marginalise, hurt and harm the pscyhological safety of our students". Truly we live in the age of spinelessness. Also it's actually peak racism to ascribe your own interpretations on to another culture's language and act like they take precedent.

I think spinelessness is being more racist than literally Hitler.
Wow, how did I manage to miss such a
First two are the same event and we can replace 'black people/youths' with 'clearly multicultural mob of masked rioters'. Also would have helped to see the video of that particular incident because 'sub-human scum' is very much the default immediate response, albeit hyperbole, to it from anyone with eyes and a conscience. Then what have we got? A few posts of innocuous observations with seemingly random bits bolded. And the last one is referring to the fact that thug is only a racially loaded term in America and nowhere else, which is true.
Hope poor old dumbo has at least blocked me after that, wouldn't want the lamb having a panic attack whenever he sees another post from literally Hitler.
Still, nice to have a fan.I wouldn't blame anyone for blocking you, but I think witnessing what kind of people you'd automatically excuse vs who you'd call subhuman scum is a lesson most centrists should learn.
Dumbo didn't call you literally Hitler, but I get how you want to deflect. It's natural for people like you.
Edit: We should be clear on the deflection hobbers is going for. No one disputes that the machete guy is initially rushing at the protesters with a machete in hand. A fight ensued, and the machete guy got beaten bad. Verdict by hobbers? We don't know why the machete guy attacked the protesters, he probably lost his mind to fear, and the guy beating his attacker with a skateboard is a vile little runt. The guy charging with a machete is not a vile little runt, just lost his mind to fear.
This is as insane as it gets.

Nobody was excused though. Which would be apparent if posts were represented objectively and not cherry picked with descriptors that were deliberately factually wrong. But obviously no one who reads the CE forum would ever expect that sort of approach. And since you seem to want to dive into that particular event.... We're talking about an unhinged idiot who was running around with a sword, and a mob of 20 odd masked rioters (some of whom were white!) that tried to stomp him to a pulp. In the video he isn't initially rushing at anyone, he's being hounded into a corner by several guys who are throwing things at him, if memory serves. And eventually he unleashes a war cry that's more of a petrified squeal, and runs with his sword (katana?) brandished. Was that because he felt he confident to unleash his fury upon the legions of enemies around him? Or was it because he was terrified and wanted to scare someone out of the way so he could flee? Who knows.
But the kid who smashes the unconscious guy on the floor over the head with his skateboard had categorically not lost his mind to fear, but rather a collective bloodlust. tldr; both are wrong but one is worse than the other.
I know, that was aimed at you. And I understand why a lot of politically fervent people always seek to demonise those who disagree with them, it's natural for them to want to find some level of justification for their seething resentfulness in life.
Hi, I wondered why my ears were burning. I had noticed you slowly crawling back out into the sun.Wow, how did I manage to miss such apathetic attempt at misrepresentationscything analysis of my posts?

No I won't block you, you are to useful to block. I find you a perfect illustration of how underlying bigotry, (if I'm being generous) ingrained prejudice, or a general unpleasantness can inform bad arguments.
I highlight you as the most glaring warning to others of why we should all (me included) analyse the opinions we hold and inspect the reasons for any underlying prejudice, lest we come across looking like hobbers.
Here is another good example of hobbers getting a ducking for his knee jerk lack of comprehension and poor reasoning in defense of Harris, Peterson... Y'know for any archivists out there:

Oh yeah and @hobbers I'm talking about you not to you. Don't confuse this with me wanting a conversation because as willing as I often am to journey into futility, I do have some limits.
But feel free to insult me if you so choose (genuinely).

Surprised someone who is so attuned to flippant sarcasm can't see it when others use it.
Oh and don't worry about engaging me. I'm just looking forward to your next sweltering expose. Hopefully the next one doesn't get buried in 5 pages worth of posts of some poor CE rube getting set upon.

Your memory vs witness statements.
Police statement: A Dallas police spokesman said Tuesday that the man went to that area wielding a “machete type knife” at protesters because he allegedly wanted to “protect his neighborhood, not his or any other property/business.”
Yeah, what a vile little runt.
we live in a world where it took 100 years for America to pass a bill making lynching a federal crime you could ease off on the hyperbole a bit hereHard to say what's worse...

It seems pretty ridiculous they went all in like that. Was there really anguish and pain over a misheard word, given the context?
Anyone offended might want to take China off their list of countries to visit.
Not sure where to put this, definitely not thread material, but Dutch side FC Emmen are not allowed by the Dutch FA to use a sex toy producer as their main shirt sponsor for not being in good taste. The same FA that had our league sponsered by a fecking Casino.
The 19th century called, they want their values back.

Probably harder to explain to children what a dildo is than where Ocean's Eleven is set.
As if most kids know what Ocean's Eleven is.

Strange hill to die on
That's it I'm not eating these jellies as they're no longer made by boiling cow skin and bones.
Saying that if theyre anything like a lot of vegan sweets I’ve had before I won’t eat them because they’ve been gross
That giant tomato used to play us.
I’ll be honest, I never bought fruit pastilles for the meat content.
That’s basically what Wetherspoons are for, isn’t it? Other than cheap beer near its sell by date.
It’s the skin and bones that give them their delicious flavour, you philistine.Strange hill to die on
That's it I'm not eating these jellies as they're no longer made by boiling cow skin and bones.
The 3 or 4 spoons near me are always more full of kids than old people, though there is a mix of both.
Isn't that the sugar and flavourings? Have you ever had unsweetened/unflavoured gelatine?
I was cracking a funny. Of course it’s not the skin and bones that give fruit pastilles their flavour!

I don't mean to blow me own trumpet, but I think this wins the thread. It'll be very hard to top this
It’s certainly a contender. I might actually start reading this thread from the start when I’m bored as I’ve not followed it all that much.I don't mean to blow me own trumpet, but I think this wins the thread. It'll be very hard to top this
Dude looks like a serious boozer.
edit: just looked on his twitter, he definitely is a serious boozer.
Ah I know. It was just I saw a program recently where they made jellies from scratch and the presenter tasted it before they flavoured it. Judging by the look on his face it was revolting
It's not revolting, it's just kind of muddy/bland with a really weird texture before it sets. If you're expecting jelly, you'll be really disappointed.Ah I know.

My food scientist mate says the gelatin alternatives are getting better all the time. Seaweed, fungus, gum combinations basically. It's mimicking the whole bunch of behaviours that gelatin has that's the challenge - mould ability, softness/hardness, chewiness etc. I'm certainly willing to test them out.
You've been eating the wrong ones. There are so many lovely vegan sweets out there now.
