I suppose up until now, I wrongfully assumed we were all banned from shitting in public

when talking to my parents, if I say "community" instead of "communism," or "nobody deserves to starve" instead of "free food", and "help vulnerable people" instead of "benefits" and "everyone deserves to feel safe from harm" instead of XYZ - everyone wholeheartedly agrees!

But if I let them go off on a tangent without guiding them, then they're "anti woke" even though they don't know what woke means

For reference, 1 litre of ice cream has about 180g of sugar in it. This milkshake is approx 0.95L and 263g, so 1.54x more sugar than straight ice cream.

(I wouldn't recommend eating a litre of ice cream all in one go either)

She had to let it rest for another 20 hours after getting off the plane anyway. Even if it was really necessary, she could have made the dough at the airport (past security) and kept it fully sealed whilst on the plane.

it's a feminist movement, in backlash to misogyny and pro-natalism in South Korea (it's becoming more widespread, though). The 4Bs are the "four no's":

  • no dating men
  • no sex with men
  • no marriage with men
  • no childbearing

It gets a lot of pushback and is called selfish etc. but women are very angry & upset that the government only sees them for their reproductive use, and it's reasonable to not want to date someone who doesn't view you as human.

The Māori monarchy dates back to the 19th Century, when different Māori tribes decided to create a unifying figure similar to that of a European monarch in order to try to prevent the widespread loss of land to New Zealand's British colonisers and to preserve Māori culture. The role is largely ceremonial.

Freedom of speech is protection from legal restrictions, not protection from criticism from David Tennant

even if this is true, there are other, much cooler types of clothing than trousers that still cover your arse

just change the 4 to a 2 and it'll be fine ;)

everyone ignores that England won the Euros in 2022 because it wasn't the men's team

I would genuinely buy a bra that needed charging if it did something useful (like phase cooling / some sort of refrigeration). Not from Temu though

There must be a joke somewhere about them identifying as "politically homeless" whilst encouraging transphobic ideals so far that they'll vote Reform. Completely bizarre

TLDR For non-US context: she's been nominated for a bunch of Grammies for country music, so she's presumably talented and people in the US know who she is.

Her performance is being called the new worst of all time (something people have ridiculed Fergie for since her performance in 2018, because they care about national anthems over there) but now she's in rehab for alcoholism, so that explains it.

I love that, by his own analogy, he has implied that Tory voters are either rats or children. Hating the image of Nigel playing a flute (or a pipe, I guess?) either way

If you deny women access to abortion related healthcare, they die. Abortion bans ruin lives, and if you really have to protest abortions (which you shouldn't), direct your attention towards politicians, instead of harassing women who need healthcare and are already having a horrible time.

This is actually a very minimal change to the already existing curriculum - the (compulsory) English Language GCSE is 50% "Critical reading and comprehension"

Gov UK states all specifications must include:

"identifying bias and misuse of evidence, including distinguishing between statements that are supported by evidence and those that are not; reflecting critically and evaluatively on text"

Most people presumably... "forgot"? but this has been in the curriculum for decades

it's pretty well known that Hello Kitty is a little girl who dresses as a cat!

What's more up-for-debate is whether her boyfriend, Dear Daniel, is also a little girl (presumably, butch lesbian) or not
