My prediction for this one is 0-0.
It’s going to be a thriller!

It’s not wrong, to be fair.
The knockouts are probably going to be more difficult to predict, so anything is possible! 😛
If only someone could have foreseen such a problem arising. 🤔
I’m an England fan but I hope they get battered by whoever they play in the last 16, just so I don’t have to watch any more of this insomnia-curing boredom.
“So what I’m going to do is travel around the world and harass animals for television.”
What’s wrong with just “not connecting it”?
It’s funny because it’s exactly the kind of pretentious thing Bono would do, and exactly the way a Scottish person would respond.
Why though? You were that gender, and then you transitioned to what you are now.
Just because you weren’t happy as your birth gender doesn’t mean that it didn’t exist.
What they “felt on the inside” is not the same as what they actually were at the time though. Referring to them as he or she is just a statement of fact at the time.
We had this same thing when Ellen Page became Elliot Page. Then there was an attempt to retroactively change all references and make them Elliot Page, even though the work he did before was as Ellen Page.
It’s not transphobic to acknowledge the person they were before transition.
I have mixed feelings on the pronoun use, but having read some of her autobiographical writing I don’t think she would have taken much issue with it.
It’s fine how they’ve used it because it’s referring to the time before transition, so it’s just being accurate and also means the story makes more sense.
The simple reason is that a lot of people feel that the status quo just isn’t working for them and hasn’t been for a number of years. So they’ve ended up gradually voting for more and more extremes as the years have gone by, to express their distaste.
Hopefully these results are a wake-up call for EU nations, so they can try and get these voters back to the more moderate parties. I suspect not though.
This meme reminds me of the “Going for an English” sketch: https://youtu.be/H-uEx_hEXAM?feature=shared
Finally the haptic feedback will get used to its full potential again!
Not when he has been creating a narrative since 2020 that he was the real winner of that election and all these court cases are just designed to try and stop him from being President.
His supporters have bought the premium subscription to this narrative, so nothing is going to change their minds. In fact, the more court cases there are, the more support he gets.
Even though going after him for his alleged crimes is the right thing to do, I actually wish they’d just let him fade into obscurity instead. Because all it has ended up doing is helping his campaign.
Well, this blows the “if you’ve not done anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about” argument out of the water.
To be fair, the current Israeli government has far-right members in it, so a centrist would look far-left in comparison!
This is not surprising. We have Gareth Southgate as the manager.
Not even any changes at half-time. Absolutely fucking useless.
