They want to be European, but don't want the stink of colonialism, whilst also feeling like rebels, so Ireland it is!

It's not so much cheering on Iran, but not giving a shit about Israel. Like, Israel just attacked Iran, they reap what they sow.

What makes you think Orban will allow even a letter?

Not really. British are from Great Britain (the island).

I dare not find out what my reading level is, for the same reason I dare not find out what my IQ is. I don't gain anything by knowing it, and knowing that I'm stupid will only worsen my self-esteem issues.

I feel better assuming I'm roughly average for both measurements.

Last cruise I went on, I was 15. I don't remember it being very good. Everyone was either shitting themselves about getting norovirus, or shitting themselves because they'd got norovirus. The excursions were boring and obviously done on the cheap, and I was neither old enough to drink, or young enough to fully enjoy the kids club (I will admit I was fucking amazing at dancing to Cotton Eye Joe on Just Dance though). That and there was a 13-year-old that tried to throw herself overboard and had to be dragged from the railings by other teenagers.

The ship was nothing like that though, it was the P&O ship Oriana, which is a little more reserved. It retired in 2019 and is now a cruise ship in China called the the Piano Land.

US Press aren't high profile by virtue of being American. An individual American journalist is nothing in the eyes of the public. If they shot and killed someone like Anderson Cooper, that's a big story. Random journalist from ABC News? Would barely make a splash.

Nah, low chance she gets purposefully killed by Israel, she's way too high profile and white for that to happen.

If she were a low level journalist or middle-eastern, she's a goner, but she's wrapped in enough privilege to make it politically non-viable to kill her.

Yeah and now that certain companies run the risk of getting flattened into the ground by Trump, only those companies that actually gave a shit continue to support Pride.

I'd rather smell like a rose than smell like shit.

 

I was under the impression that the Numenoreans were very much imperialists towards the end, as in they'd raid Middle Earth for all its riches and there was nothing they could do about it.

When Numenor sank beneath the waves and the Faithful came to Middle Earth, how did they reconcile with the existing inhabitants? "Oh yeah we're Numenorean but we're totally not like those bad ones. Btw we're setting up a kingdom here and here and there's nothing you can do about it".

There couldn't have been that many Faithful on those ships. How did they manage to acquire so much land with so little opposition?
