  1. Same here, SE for the little one, 13 Pro for Big sister, 14 Pro for Mum and I enjoy the 17 Pro now, it is my new Camera bag. Coupled with a Macbook air and a big TV it gives all the non carnal fun in the World to this old man.
  2. Ok, English is my 4th language, I am an immigrant. So what's the the difference between a "raging lunatic" and a "raving lunatic"? Surely one of the two must apply here. Whichever you prefer.
  3. Funny you say that, just survey the 8 billion people who have seen this pic.
  4. Hmmhhh https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2021/what-happened-trump-jan-6-insurrection/
  5. If Taco/JD haven't nuked us, out of embarrassment.
  6. Yeah, when I could boomboom the office nympho into the ground...
  7. Well that's 1.3 GDP. Great achievement. And expect a recession once the effects of isolationism materialise.
  8. Been here for many years, but it is true, I have never tried, at any time, to buy booze at a petrol station.
  9. I travel a bit to neighbouring countries via Don Muang, so far in every single instance the IO had to call his/her supervisor to know how to stamp me in. Yesterday none of that, that young lady process me, without mistake, in a minute or two. Things are looking up..
  10. That's just great, now that US is unreliable, but will Grippen be able to produce them fast enough?
  11. The Romans crucified Jesus..
  12. Yep, fix the economy by selling more vice.. But, sorry your alcohol rules are so stupid that it won't make any difference. And maybe just ban forever all and every alcohol sales from gaz stations, and severely repress consumption in public spaces.
  13. Would be good new IMO, Hamas must be obliterated whatever the cost. Sadly a total dispersion of the Gaza population might be the only way to achieve this. Could be even worse.
  14. Yes I can: some people can see that these kids try to save America. And I am not a "leftie" I am a Social Democrat. I don't understand these crowds of near brain dead, fat , pink (when not painted orange) humanoids jumping up and down chanting, lefty, llefty, leftiiie...
  15. IMO he is drunk and tried to open a bottle of ketchup with his teeth... Juts more MAGABS.
  16. Yes, yes as it means less arrogant, loud, fat Yanks in a not so distant future. The Covid dip in the graph below, shows the combined effect of obesity and of an overwhelmed health system. Even worse to come now...
  17. U mean, pink, male, uneducated, in the grossly overweight to obese range, probably INCEL?
  18. “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response: A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. • You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of <deleted>. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a <deleted> was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set." https://groups.google.com/g/usaafricadialogue/c/YcvcyUSt4Jk/m/KR8tSL2gAQAJ
  19. Stuck at 6 to 7 years... Hence to need to supress him, from his current position.
