Isn’t a cornucopia from Greek myth? That would mean that literally nothing, apart for the wheat and the nuts should be in that picture…

Or just atlantically

There is a difference, of course - One is a proponent of Socialism that benefits society as a whole. One is a proponent of socialism that benefits businesses.

I’ll leave you to decide which is which

The FBI probably need to go take another look in his bathroom. I’ll be there’s a few less boxes in evidence than there used to be

I agree with much of what you say, but the idea that this isn’t “gods” earth any more I find risible. Much of this was done in via religion which is a man-made system to capitalize on insecurity and fear.

I’m curious what you mean about “not participating in this fucked up world” and “sacrificing the privileges and comfort of the modern life”. For me, these are highly ambiguous phrases.

The problem is not a modern/permissive/whatever society but the inability of those on the right wing to tolerate anyone who is different and, as we are now finding out, to attempt to erase them. Love is the answer, and I tend to agree this is not compatible with current politics.

Everyone is focusing on the sex-act, but what about the Putin /photos part? This suggests strongly that Putin does have Kompromat on Trump, which is long suspected.

Holy shit. That’s almost one Elon Musk’s Salary dollars

My suggestion is to be mindful of things you are doing and make decisions about continuing them or ending them and plan accordingly. I tend to recommend reading up on Stoicism as it help contextualize.

A more specific plan is to pick one thing you want to improve and practice that. Try and do this once a day and make it a habit. After you’ve adopted a couple of good habits, you’ll be ready to try stopping something, thought that is tougher to achieve.

Thanks for clarifying - I left the UK a long time ago.

There are studies that go both ways on their net gain/ net cost. the “net gain” crowed tend to suggest that no-one would visit the UK if it wasn’t for them.

I don’t buy it.

And if they’re such as net gain, why do they continue to claim money from the Royal List? Can’t they just AirBNB the palace? Or Windsor? They have a lot of properties and don’t really pay taxes either.

I hope so. No one should be above the law. Especially not parasites like this numpty. As a Brit I’m outraged that taxes I paid enabled this behavior.

“Liberals” just want to be right - or at least want to be seen as doing it in the right way. The Conservatives believe that the end justifies the means

The justice department is supposed to be independent for precisely this reason. I can appreciate Garland was trying to avoid partisanship and appear to be impartial. But he failed. Dismally. Both of these investigations should have been fast tracked and much more open to avoid any appearance of bias. That would, of course, lead to the problem of a fair trial….

This will be 100% true if the workers are all undocumented immigrants and ICE immediately deport them when the work is done.

The only British object that can be removed from a Englishman’s arse is his own head…

You can choose that, if you want. Many people do. It’s called giving up and I’m convinced it’s why people take up golf.

Instead, why not choose to continue to learn? To try new things and have new experiences? To help others? Yes, you may be slowing down physically but it doesn’t mean stopping.

I wouldn’t say a PoS but clearly has a lot to learn - and what sounds like a crisis is not the place to do that. And he sounds like he has a lot to learn.

As a father, I believe that at a minimum you should care for your kids at least ONE day every week on your own, preferably more. And not just the fun stuff, either. Make sure it comprises bed time, bath time, making and eating meals, as well as getting the little tykes out of the house. Either parent needs to be able to cope alone, and more importantly, trust that the other can, too.

My suggestion is that he needs to have a frank conversation with his wife, and commit to the above care routine. He needs to be able to do this in a way that allows him to admit he doesn’t know things and get advice. But he does need to do the work and ensure his wife feels supported.

Maybe if these corporations acted with a little integrity and respect for laws like (say) privacy and copyright, then maybe they wouldn’t need to be regulated…

Just sayin’

I want one…
