  1. I went to school in the UK and we were taught about colonisation, slavery and segregation. It wasn't taught to make us feel guilty, it was taught so that we can learn from it and not do the same again

  2. A friend of mine has worked in a studio whilst Kanye was recording. He was not very complimentary of Mr West, suggested he may have smoked too much weed and its melted his brain. Apparently Kanye can throw an enormous tantrum when he doesn't get his way, such as when engineers want to go home after 20 hours straight in the studio because he was too busy smoking to actually record anything.

  3. Same goes for music involving Kid Rock. His song All Summer Long is a rip of of sweet home Alabama and he still managed to get the guitar solo in the wrong key. From a purely musical point of view, it's terrible

  4. A friends brother who I knew for years was always very depressed, for a good 20 years. One day I heard he had gender reassignment following a years long transition. I met her again last year and she's so much more chilled out and happier and more comfortable. If that's the effect it can have on someone then it can only be good. I'm sure it doesn't always go that good but it clearly can.

  5.  @markzuckergecko621  private farming regulations only apply to food being grown to sell. It covers small, independent growers who sell at markets (for example) and does not apply to a person growing some fruit and veg in their garden for their own consumption or to gift to a friend or family.

  6. He claims to have an amazing life but can't be with a woman without having to assault and force them. Doesn't seem like a great life to me. I certainly wouldn't swap it for my life

  7. That's a slick move

  8. I live in the UK where we have free school meals for kids and universal health care and many other state funded things the US doesn't have. When I take my taxes and compare to the US taxes and a comparable health insurance plus schooling for 2 kids I pay quite a lot less. I also get paid more than the same job I the US plus work less hours and get much more paid vacation. Look outside your own country and see how much better things can be

  9. I went to school in the 80's. We had two brothers in our class who were bullied mercilessly because they had two dads. Maybe if we hadn't seen it as weird then they wouldn't have been treated any differently to anyone else.

  10. This reminds me that I was accused by someone of hating god once. They just wouldn't accept that I can't hate god because I don't believe god exists. I have no feelings towards what isn't there.

  11. Just move to almost any first world country except the US and you can do what you want. I'm in the UK and my vasectomy was done under our universal healthcare, they even had Jimi Hendrix on the radio during the procedure.

  12.  @Zack-vi7is  I know a couple of the engineers from Real World studios where Kanye has recorded. He spends 95% of his time at the studio smoking weed while everyone else makes the music. He then comes in and records his vocals which the engineers then have to grid align in Pro Tools because he was too high to stay on the beat.

  13. He's a great example of everything I never want to be. My main rule in life is don't be a dick. Tate clearly doesn't live by this rule.

  14. As a Brit I find US workers rights shocking. Over here we get so much more and employers generally give more than the minimum to attract the best employees. I'm entitled to 20 days paid vacation (I get 30) Unlimited sick days with statutory pay (I get 4 weeks full pay) I'm entitled to paid leave for medical appointments My employer cannot refuse leave or cancel it once booked. I can't be punished for phoning in sick. I can't be fired without at least two warnings. These rights are the main reasons I would never relocate to the US

  15. The US is going through what happened here in the UK 40 years ago when films were banned for gay scenes or making fun of religion or being anti racist. All they achieved was to make those films more popular. When I was at school, it was easier to get copies of banned films than legal films because everyone wanted to see what they weren't aloud to see.

  16. Isn't this how most serial killer films start?

  17. Surely ignoring the bad things that happened is cancelling history. We need to learn about the hood and bad people did

  18. Wasn't she criticizing liberals who were protesting for defunding the police?

  19. I grew up in England where pantomime dames are a tradition. Middle aged men dressed up as women and parading around on stage being all flamboyant and camp. I don't think any kid who was dragged along to a pantomime (basically every English kid) ever watched it and thought "well that's me turned trans now". In fact the only trans person I've ever met went to a strict Catholic school where that wouldn't have been allowed.

  22. As a heterosexual man, I really quite enjoy consequence free sex with a woman. It doesn't seem particularly gay to me

  23. She would be if she were pretty

  24. I've been an engineer for 30 years and he's talking absolute crap. State inspectors are experienced in their field and have worked in the industry. They aren't just dumb bureaucrats. An intelligent engineer works with regulations not against them. They lead to standardisation which ultimately makes the job easier, especially when repairing or modifying someone else's work because you'll know how things are installed or wired.

  25. You want capitalism, well this is it. If you vote for capitalism, don't complain when you get laid off so your boss can make a few more dollars

  26. Have these people never enjoyed consequence free sex with a consenting partner? I quite often enjoy a bit of fun with my wife without having to worry about her getting pregnant. There's 8 billion people in the world already and people won't stop horizontal exercise so the last thing we want to do is ban contraception.

  27. As a non American, I would say most of the world would rather the US didn't try to lead when it comes to military action because it never ends well when they do.

  28. As a mechanical engineer, I always refer to the bible for metallurgy or mechanics information. Only this morning I used it to look up friction head loss equations.

  29. Please never mention Petersons spank bank again. I'd prefer to not be reminded that he has genitals and may enjoy special alone time.

  30. I had a couple gay teachers when I was at school, one was really camp and very open about it, an excellent physics teacher as well. I'm not gay and no one in that class back then was either.

  31. When everyone is rich then no one is rich

  32. Here in the UK, its illegal for a business to force people to work beyond contracted hours and they cannot contract employees to work more than 48 hours per week. They also have to give you a minimum 20 days per year vacation plus the 8 statutory days and they cannot stop you or punish you for taking every one of those days. I work 40 hours and that's it, not an hour more and I get 42 days a year vacation.

  33. That's $35 per month more than any diabetic in the UK pays

  34. She said it'll be for the whole world. Doesn't she realise most of the world doesn't care and will just be pissed their missing Simpsons and the latest episode of Gold Rush? We're more interested in whether Jack Hoffman finds that big nugget or whether Homer gets to Moe's before closing.

  35. I sent thoughts and prayers. Thats what they like to receive isn't it?

  36. Land of the free my ass. Whatever happened to religious freedom and separation of church and state?

  37. As a Brit I can tell you the unions are definitely demonised here. The TV shows are inviting them on in the hope of making them look foolish but are (fortunately) failing.
    2
  38. Hopefully it goes the same way this same fight went in Britain back in the 70's when our unions got us these rights written in to law. Once again the US is half a century behind Europe on rights.

  39. Trump's course in Scotland gets regular dirty protests. It's a local sport to "park your breakfast" (take a dump) in the hole without getting caught.

  40. It's quite interesting that in the US unions are normal and accepted by the Conservative right but here in the UK despite being pretty much the same, they are seen as far left communists who are only out to cause trouble. Most of the workers rights we have in the UK (and its a lot more rights than US workers have) exist because of the unions fighting for them.

  41. Interesting note. Queen Elizabeth has seen a lot of prime ministers and sworn them in to office. She swore in Liz Truss as PM and croaks the following day. That's no coincidence, she didn't want to hang around for the inevitable disaster our female Trump is setting up.

  42. As much as I can't stand Chad Kroegers vocals, at least he has some power behind them, this sounds weak. It's more bad emo pop than Nickelback which is bland rock.

  43. I just googled Mr Peterson's wife expecting her to be more beautiful than this model. Mr Peterson has no place to speak on this subject. Some of us like a lady with curves more than very slim women.

  44. I hear from a friend there is a film of that very situation on a website with a name that rhymes with cornhub

  45. These people who are saying this goes against free speech are talking rubbish. If for example I were to insult their mother and they then punched me in the face as a reaction, would that be against my free speech? No, it would be the consequences of my free speech, I was free to insult their mother and they were free to provide the consequences. This is no different.

  46. Obviously the left are selecting the opposite gender to what they want for their child and then forcing them to become trans and then aborting them at 12 years old

  47. I guarantee she'll be completely against republicans moving to blue states losing the vote for five years

  48. I'm not sure whether he's serious or not.

  49.  @josue24  Trump has been complimenting Putin on his invasion of Ukraine, saying how bigly clever he is. Trump was also very anti NATO. I don't think he'd have done anything to help Ukraine but I don't think he'd help Russia either.

  50. Is the US really only 250 years old? My house is at least 150 years older than your country. It's really a young country and I guess right now it's going through a difficult teenage type stage.

  52. I'm in the UK and my wife is diabetic. She pays nothing for insulin, not a penny. Insulin and test strips and blood sugar monitors and medical appointments are all free. Yes I pay more tax than I would in the US but my tax is still less than US taxes plus a good health insurance policy for the whole family. The maximum for any prescription in the UK is £9 per item for a week supply but for nearly all long term illnesses it's free and for pensioners or unemployed or children it's free. Unfortunately, our current government wants to change to the US system, fortunately, they'll be out before they have the chance to do it

  53. I would not employ anyone with a degree earned from this system. It's a worthless degree.
    1
  54. I'll add to that. Degree coursework and exams are not marked purely on the final conclusion, a large proportion of the marks go towards you explanation and reasoning of how you arrived at that conclusion. The ability to show that reasoning is incredibly important. For example, I work in engineering and if I want to check another engineers calculation then it is far easier to do so if I can read through their process and check each stage rather than do the entire calculation from start to finish as I would if I just had a result to check. It is also far easier to show them their mistakes and help them understand why they're wrong.

  55. I live in the UK and my wife in diabetic. Over here, insulin dependent diabetics pay nothing for ANY medication, not just their insulin. If you need insulin, you cannot live without it.

  56. Shouldn't military action be a joint decision from the combined national leaders in NATO? The world does not need the US charging in to a war and making a mess again. Whatever happens effects the world and that is not a decision to be taken by one nation.

  57. Can't heterosexual men appreciate a hood looking woman who they know they'll never sleep with? I've got a thing for Selma Hayak and I know that's never happening but it doesn't stop me enjoying her films

  58. It's worth noting that everything the union is fighting for are thing Amazon employees already have in Europe because they are legal rights for employees.

  59. Here in the UK, we have a similar idiot to Peterson, Jacob Rees-Mogg. He too talks absolute rubbish and because he has a posh accent and uses long words his supporters think he is a genius. In reality, he's easily outwitted and crumbles when anyone provides a counter argument or even just pushes him to elaborate on what he's already said. Despite attending one of the most expensive schools in the world, he only has a BA qualification and only a 2:1 in that, I went to state run schools and managed a MEng with distinction while drinking a lot of beer at university and would consider myself of average intelligence on a good day.

  60. Austin's great tax plan seems fair. If a husband leaves his wife for another woman and leaves the kids with her then she loses her tax break. I can't see how anyone could argue against that....

  61. Here in Europe we don't have the same culture of suing everyone. If you want to sue someone, the financial claim amount needs to be justified.

  63. I was thinking about the whole cancelling thing recently. I grew up in Britain in the 80's at that time, we had the Conservatives banning punk music, rave music, horror films, soft core pornography. They were also trying to ban heavy metal because they thought it was satanic. Even if it was satanic (and some was) why ban it? Monty Python films were banned because the church didn't like them. Cancel culture was invented by the right.

  64. Hold on. Why does she believe the whole world will have to watch this crap on TV? I'm not American and I'm more interested in watching Family Guy. What will Quagmire get it caught in this time?

  65. My first experience of Kanye was at the Glastonbury festival. I was just passing the stage where he was performing to go and see another band and he chose that moment to proclaim "I am the greatest rock star in the world right now" at that moment I realised he was a dick but I severely underestimated how much of a dick. He wasn't even the greatest rock star to play that stage on that day.

  66. I'm in the UK so if my boss comes in with a contagious illness I can tell him to f**k off out of my space and he cannot fire me or punish me and if I go in sick, he can send me home and I'll get full sick pay. I can also do the right thing, phone in sick, get full sick pay and go back when I feel better and face no repercussions. I would not like to be a worker in the US.

  67. Conservatives keep complaining that there's too many liberal comedians. This is why there's not more conservative comedians, they're just not funny.

  68. As an outsider from Europe it appears that the left and right in the US are mainly motivated by sticking it to the other side. Your country is doomed. Thank Buddha for the Atlantic ocean between us.

  69. Incels will find it a lot easier to meet a partner if they stop trying to pick up women and when they realise that looks fade but personality and character last forever. You can't base a life long relationship on physical attraction alone, I've seen people try and it never lasts long.

  70. I hope the actual brewer turns out to be "super woke"

  71. The socks stay on

  72. All this just to get the same workers rights that are legal minimum across Europe. As a British worker, I find it shocking that they need to fight for what we've had for decades
    1
  73. Hold up. They're taking our heavy metal? They can take our lives. They can take our money. They can take our freedom. They will never take my Slayer records without a fight. Removing a man's Motorhead is tyranny. Taking our Iron Maiden is a breach of our human rights.

  74. I don't get why people are making up reasons for Putin's invasions. Putin has given his reason, do these morons know better?

  75. What are these peoples opinions on taking kids to bars like Hooters?

  76. Why haven't his wife and daughter cut all ties with him?

  77. I just don't get incels. Why do they think it's impossible to get a girlfriend if you're not traditionally handsome? I've got a face like a sack of spanners and I'm married to a very nice lady. All you have to do is talk to them like a normal human and eventually one will like you enough to start a relationship and maybe even do that other stuff that people do.

  78. The US is definitely doing worse than other first world countries. Other countries don't have Qanon or such a huge divide between the left and right and other countries don't have armed private malitia

  79. He's approaching Mike Lindell levels of insanity and comedy

  80. What happened to separation of church and state?

  81. People are getting paranoid about the word algorithm now. Every piece of computer software is essentially an algorithm, they're harmless unless written with malicious intent. I wrote an algorithm last week to control a pump based on instrument readings. It will not effect your free speech or steal your data at all.

  82. Has there ever been a video of someone ranting from their car that has been remotely intelligent?

  83. If they're going to blame or sue anyone following abortion after a rape, why not go after the rapist who created the need for the abortion.

  84. You are completely wrong about the house of Lords here in the UK. They absolutely have the power to block policy and regularly do. There is enormous support here for abolishing the house of Lords.
