Americans have trouble with any accent that isn't the blandest, nails on chalkboard accent.

Once had one ask me if I was speaking English when I spoke to him (for context I am Irish, the north bit)

Why is this news, from the article this looks to be a fairly "routine" event? Not that I support Russia, but I imagine NATO forces are also engaging in similar behaviour somewhere else?

Wanted to say this, up the Balkan gang

This "yogihos" cunt is the worst tankie of the lot ironically. And the lot of them are russian apologist morons or bots/agents. I would say defederate from them but I like to sometimes here this stupid views to give me some perspective

I remember reading this and hoped it got posted here, I was pissing myself laughing at it like, the arseholes in those communities are absolute fucking morons.

The point is right in front of their face and they still can't see it (so the my can't screenshot this comment for a post, the point is that those regimes were authoritarian nightmares to live in as an ordinary person). I've said it before and I'll say it again, they're not tankies they're idiots who for some reason love any auth regime and then pretend that life there is so good.

And everytime I post some shit like this I have to say at the end, I do not like capitalism or the US (also I'm Irish and I live in Austria currently) I would much rather see a socialist state or proper commune style communism, what they admire is basically horrible shit which should be callef Maoism/Stalism/etc.

Very tasteful art. Who is the artist? For academic and art appreciation purposes, of course.

It's definitely creating more of a case to defederate from it if it ever tries to federate

The worst part of this for me is that none of them are even communist really, they just hate NATO and love modern day Russia for some weird reason?

Like I actually like the idea of proper commune style communism, being a fairly far left socialist (and also wanting to see the capitalist/imperial American system fall and/or replaced with something better). But none of these lot are actually communist in the slightest (as I said) they are literally just anti-west / pro-auth / pro-Russia people...

I watched the vid, what is up with the journalists' responses. Some guy is in prison in iran (the important story) and they're getting offended about their professionalism being attacked?? What do the want the guy to say? That we're dispatching seal team six? If the guy wasn't there on official EU business then of course Swedish government should be the lead?

Right so don't really know if this is bait... but that's one kind of accent (and the tickest pronunciation at that) in ulster, specifically greater Belfast/co. Antrim and very few people speak that thick. For the most part they should be quite understandable from the perspective of anyone who consumes any English language media outside of only American or only London (RP) English. The number of times I have had people have trouble with my accent in Europe and then I ask them what they watched when learning English and the answer is American TV is astounding.

This is me getting on my wee podium now but I have a huge problem with the Americans and Brits for this, they marginalise the fuck out if our dialect, make fun of it for being unitelligible (after making no effort to understand it), and often deny it any legitimacy.

In reality Irish English is spoken by 5-7million people, as large as some dialects of European languages (eg. Austrian/swiss German, Belgian/Swiss French, etc) and if you learn French or German you still get some exposure to those dialects and if you out your mind to it understand it.

It's ironic that they've missed out Ireland, throwing some great hunger shade.

Right? Like it seems this is a very bi-partisan effort that's moving surprisingly easy. What's the catch?

Also thought this when reading the article, multiple times I've had entire journies turn into a nightmare because of train not coming, 2/3/more hour late trains, and yeah local transport is a joke sometimes. The worst is the state of some the stations, Bonn is like a fucking drug camp sometimes and it seems that police and transport staff won't do anything to make it safer or better

Yes, I expect much change in the house of commons as a result if this debate... /s

What the fuck is the point of these petitions anyways, never seen a single one amount to anything, and the moment they removed the ability to no confidence the PM via the petition it lost all potency.

If you're gonna have petitions make them proper, direct democracy style.

This isn't quite normal, usually at these facilities in the case of 15, 22, and 20 especially show that the workers are not carrying out proper regular assessment and that the criteria for euthanasia for excessive suffering looks to be far to high. I only know the case of how this kind if testing is handled with mice (from my partner, and in germany) and all three of these cases would have been euthanized much earlier, not left to live on for a year or even days. As usual with Musk, he tries to cut corners and it only ends up hurting people and in this case animals unecessarily.

You mean they made Oppenheimer in real life after the film?? bruh

Police in the North of Ireland definitely aren't unarmed

These headlines infuriate me. What the fuck is the headline or story gonna do? Stop them investing? Fuck no. Push goverments to legislate against them? Fuck no. The headline should, at this point just be: gov/corps aren't going to stop investing in fossil fuels, revolution is needed now.

But I suppose that's too long a headline

Something I love about that post is that that this is the kind of thing a shiteating bootlicker posts, who the fuck tries to impress some leader like this?? A problem with modern society is focusing power and holding up people in power as better or perfect. Thats not very communist or socialist if you ask me, in fact it implies the existence of a ruling class still.

I had a look. Yeah, it's transparent that they (whomever that may be in this case) did this one. But if anything PTSD makes me respect the guy way more.
