Well the circle means correct in Japanese so it's really another kind of tick, if you think about it.

Failed Imagineer posted:When has X ever meant OK? Except in voting I suppose, but nothing's OK there Most people instinctively went to X as "X marks the spot" and also it was the closest button so the first our thumb reaches.

The England shirts thing is "fun" because the FA don't want to say it's meant to evoke the pride flag without being explicit and the fash don't want to say they're objecting to it looking a bit like the pride flag explicitly.

Imagine being a politician and being asked by a journalist for your opinion on the flag on the England shirt, and not replying along the lines of "I do not give a gently caress, this country is in a mess right now"

But nope, just got to go head-first into the dumbest poo poo imaginable.

I’m sure all the flag-botherers very upset about the cross will be able to tell us the exact shade of red it should be, then? Tell me the Pantone colour code without looking it up, fucker!

https://news.sky.com/story/un-rejects-us-resolution-calling-for-immediate-ceasefire-in-gaza-13099718 So Russia and China just Vetoed the ceasefire bill that was proposed to the UN. They're literally destabilising the west legally at this point and it's obvious to anyone. Have we fallen into the loving twilight zone or something?

But it's loving insane to me that we have so many ongoing conflicts right now, I've not compared numbers or anything but my simple monkey brain things seem to be significantly escalating on the global stage over the last few years and I'm fully expecting to see a global conflict in our lifetime if things keep on at this rate. Maybe I've just been really ignorant in the past too and it's always been this bad.

I certainly didn't agree with that at all, same as I don't agree with the Labour stance on the situation and I genuinely do not understand why people think that what is happening is ok.... Am I in the wrong for not understanding why it's ok for the current situation to happen? Both Gaza and Ukraine shouldn't be happening. Am I missing something?
