  1. So "if you don't like it here, leave". Do you advocate that same line of thought here?
  2. Yes, forgot, let me add that to the list: China is also ahead in non-nuclear hydrogen bomb 1,000 degree fireball unleashing technology.
  3. Protesting Israel's bombardment is not supporting a terrorist organisation, it is just protesting a brutal onslaught that has killed thousands of civilians. You can be against that and also not support terrorism you know. Guess what? I don't like the slaughter of civilians or the wholesale destruction of towns, but I am also against terrorism. The Hamas attack on October 7th was horrendous and gruesome in the extreme. Israel's response has been horrendous, disproportionate and gruesome in the extreme. See? It's not hard, we can condemn both if we are not blinkered by prejudice. Why is a protest against Israeli military behaviour automatically supporting terrorism? It is such a childish and ridiculous thing to say.
  4. Is that all you have? So the facts are irrelevant? It's not an opinion piece. It was reporting a year long study by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. You can look it up yourself if you dispute any of the findings, it is there on the internet. But of course you would rather just put your fingers in your ears and believe the anti-China propaganda that is prevalent. Definitely don't consider asking questions, researching or having a discussion, just point at the messenger and laugh - that'll get you far. Up to you.
  5. Question: should international students have the right to protest foreign government violence against civilians that has been condemned by the UN?
  6. ...and their cars. And their high speed trains (which are light years ahead of American ones), their infrastructure, their space station, their computers, their bridges (unlike American ones which tend to fall down), their AI, their military, their synthetic biology, nanoscale materials, advanced communication technologies etc etc. You do need to read stuff that doesn't originate from Trump's mouth occasionally, you may be surprised. Or, shock horror, maybe even go to China and see for yourself how far advanced it is compared to the US. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/02/china-leading-us-in-technology-race-in-all-but-a-few-fields-thinktank-finds
  7. Why don't you ask the person I was replying to who said The State Department should monitor your social media and revoke your visa if they don't like your opinions. His name is riclag, feel free to contact him directly.
  8. So you advocate deportation for opinions? Having thought police is acceptable now? Can you even hear yourself?
  9. No online application for the UK if you live in Thailand.
  10. Not really. Sometimes something is just so incredibly stupid that you just want to register that and either don't have time - or patience - to engage with that person as you know it would be pointless. I certainly don't have time to write a response to every stupid comment, but I want to register that I think it's stupid. Much in the same way you can give a thumbs up or a smiley but you don't respond to every single post to say how much you like it or how much you agree with it. What's the difference?? Can't have one without the other. Upvotes, downvotes, they are all good.
  11. What should we have instead? "Love", "Like", "Group Hug", "Kumbaya"? Let's also not allow negative comments or disagreements. People need to grow thicker skins, I am astounded how many people here get upset by emojis.
  12. Many children in this thread get upset at them unbelievably.
  13. They walk among us, and unbelievably they are allowed to vote and reproduce.
  14. This thread is hilarious.
  15. No, almost like Una Pizza Napoletana in New York. Which is exactly where he copied the picture from.
  16. In the interests of balance I was going to say that does look like an excellent pizza. But then I found out you've copied it from a place in NYC. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/una-pizza-napoletana So now I question your whole reason of posting, very sketchy behaviour to be honest.
  17. Yes, I agree posting a picture of something and claiming it is great when its appearance suggests the opposite, is pointless. Posting such a claim and not expecting any opinions to counter it is silly. Just say you like the food there and no one will comment, but if you post a picture you'd better hope it's good. If his picture looked like a decent breakfast I wouldn't have commented in this thread at all. So blame him, not me. A grey sausage, the cheapest processed fried ham, underdone potatoes, and two sloppy slices of raw tomato. At least in the promotional picture there are fluffy scrambled eggs, the sausage is cooked and not grey, the potatoes have some colour to them and the tomatoes are thick and grilled. Still the same nasty processed ham though - what's wrong with bacon? (Too expensive).
  18. You posted a picture saying how amazing it was - giving your opinion. Are we only allowed to reply if we say "Oh Nick you're so right, please give me directions so I can get that amazing plate tomorrow!"? You gave your opinion, I gave mine - it looks awful. And you seemed upset by my opinion so it obviously bothered you enough judging by the number of exclamation marks you thought it deserved. You seem to have a very thin skin indeed. And don't you also get upset about emojis? If you don't like my opinion don't highlight it, just move along.
  19. You cared enough to reply.
  20. Sorry to say that looks atrocious.
  21. I believe most people who use the confused emoji are not doing so because they themselves are confused or don't understand. They are using it to express that your post / logic / comment is so outrageously stupid that it is confusing that anyone could hold a view so warped. I use them on your posts a lot.
  22. Thank you. I only saw four legs but definitely you are right with your identification. Weird I have been here 30 years but never seen one of these things.
  23. Fortunas are the worse, bar none. Followed by the coal rolling modified pickups.
  24. Thank you. Definitely looks like that! I couldn't see wings but maybe they weren't developed.
  25. Maybe a juvenile grasshopper or something?
