I think there's a new Jason Statham film out called the butter keeper or something and he murders a load of tech bros with butter. They should send him on the ships with the butter. E: 134 is how many plates of butter Keith consumes per week to keep the economy running.

Houthis are Tusken raiders and if the odd Jawa dies it's worth it to stop the Empire getting its hands on a few more garbage droids. Luke Skywalker is Owen Jones and Ben Kenobi is Jeremy Corbyn. Sorry, I'm still not quite getting it: could you do a Harry Potter analogy instead?

Bit behind the times, they're up to Butter Keeper 3: The Eggs of Doom. In which Jason Statham as The Butter Keeper viciously breaks the heads of eggs and scrambles them up with RA butter and Irish Milk.

Pretty much just Iceland and Costa Rica maybe? though I'm sure there's loads of countries that did nothing and then got eaten by a bigger country. Sort of like that rhyme with the woman swallowing frogs.

I was referring to US Senator John Fetterman's speech  https://jewishinsider.com/2024/01/orthodox-union-capitol-hill-senators-icj-hearing-israel-genocide-south-africa/ quote:“Maybe South Africa ought to sit this one out,” Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said at a luncheon on Capitol Hill hosted by the Orthodox Union on Wednesday, adding that it’s “appalling” to accuse Israel of genocide “given the history there.” Yes I do know the appalling colonial history of Namibia, sorry for the confusion!

Jesus Christ, I didn’t see that Fetterman quote. Every time I think that guy can’t get worse.NotJustANumber99 posted:It's almost as if everyone got a little bit of Kissinger when he died.  I’m absolutely confused at what people think doing a few air/missile strikes in Yemen will do. They’ve been bombed for years and are doing just fine. Aside from that, NATO has had a total collapse in arms production. Between this garbage and Ukraine, there aren’t enough missiles to go around. Not to mention the UK’s inability to deploy a carrier due to staffing shortages.

Being normal would involve not having an obsession with the genitals and gametes of people they pass in the street, so they will never.

Honestly I thought Butter Keeper was a completely insane way to update the series but credit where it's due, it's as good as the original ever was, even if carving big dungeons out of butter is an incredibly strange stylistic choice.

Ash Crimson posted:Im starting to think these people might not be well, mentally There's a check you can try out: when you see one of these people writing articles or being interviewed etc, find their Twitter account (they always have one) and scroll through their feed. It's inevitably thousands and thousands of posts, focusing solely and exclusively on their fear and loathing of transgender people. It's not nice to see but it provides a sense of reassurance about who the irrational people are with this issue.

WhatEvil posted:If the Post Office does go bankrupt you can expect to see it sold off to Hermes or some mad poo poo. The PO is a private limited company separate to Royal Mail, and is wholly owned by the government. so if it goes bankrupt I would expect it to just get bailed out using public money (and the directors who paid themselves lovely bonuses will just walk off scot free). If it is sold I'd expect it to be split into its various financial/ID/postal services and sold off separately to whoever wants it (but probably retaining the PO brand, can't have the public noticing they've been sold out yet again). The PO company has already received billions in government subsidies to 'become profitable' which as far as I can tell amounts to flogging off assets, closing branches and laying off staff. It's just another essential public service, particularly for poorer people, that's been cut to the bone and set up to die because if it isn't profitable it isn't worth bothering with, but there's an unlimited well of money to spend on trying to make it turn said profit and pay off the scandals/disasters caused by it.

Saudi isn'[t one I struggle with cos its like its own clearly defined thing with seas around it and stuff. Its ones in the middle of land masses that I lose track of whats where. What does surprise me about saudi is its like the largest country in the middle east but with one of the relatively smaller populations.

Its ones in the middle of land masses that I lose track of whats where. I grew up in Saudi thanks to my dad managing some of the oil and lubricant plants there. It's mostly desert. Nice sculptures in Jeddah tho, was great to experience something completely different as a kid, If you can overlook them turning the local shopping car park into a place for public executions every so often (there's a shopping trip I'll never forget) The absolute antagonizing the Americans did while we were there was nuts to be honest. Walking around with crates of beer during Ramadan, bringing over a big yellow school bus and driving around all the non Saudi kids in it after handing us all loads of fake dollar bills with Jesus on them with the windows open. Spraying them as we went. It was quite... Something.
