Often, it’s not about the person you’re arguing against, it’s for the people watching who are on the fence.

If you can keep yourself calm, rational, and present convincing evidence, then you can save some people from falling into those conspiracy and religious holes from which they may never return.

Sometimes you get lucky and bring someone back from the brink.

It’s estimated about 2% of Americans believe Earth is flat, and a further 9% aren’t sure what shape it is.

2% of Americans is near 7,000,000 people. Near 40,000,000 don’t believe the Earth is a ball or are unsure.

Even if you can’t convince the 2%, that’s still roughly 33,000,000 people in America alone you could potentially help with critical thinking. We need all the help we can get.

As a driving instructor myself: you’re the person I warn my learners about 👍

To people like this, the number in their bank account is like a scoreboard. They didn’t get that high up the leaderboard purely by accident.

Anyone who thinks that kind of person is just going to give up their place on the scoreboard is either incredibly naïve or gullible.

Don’t get me wrong, there are some people to there who may have some semblance of empathy, but as seen by the title, that’s about 1 in 25.

They also don’t do good things out of the goodness of their hearts, they do it to win social points so that they don’t get gunned down in the middle of a NYC street.

I usually move my Sims into a blank lot then use cheats to take away their money. Some spend their whole lives looking like this.

Some of them, if they’re lucky, manage to build a small shed and have a sleeping bag.

As someone who isn’t clued up on Nordic languages and has no idea how any of this is supposed to be pronounced, my brain just went to the overtones for help

At first I was triggered

Couldn’t hear the chime

But then I had figured

A-B-A-B rhyme

Cauldron can’t rhyme with potion

But certainly rhymes with motion

I can’t keep up this notion

I love the idea of criminals commuting out of the city to work.

Like, there’s a bunch of stores in the city, and thousands of people where crime is easily accessible, but no, lets go to the suburbs instead.

Fuck it, why not go rural and go steal a bull - I heard they can get you a few bucks 😂

But yeah, so much of America is just fucked without a car that even places I’d consider to have bad transport links would look otherworldly to some people from the States.

Funnily enough I’m a Sanddancer, and you’re absolutely right.

The transport links through Tyne and Wear are easily 2nd best in the country, but they’re still a long way from London, and they continue to get worse year on year.

Our country in general is too Americanised, too reliant on cars now. I feel anyone who has really visited Europe can see just how far we lag behind in terms of transport networks.

I’m British and I came to Berlin a couple of weeks ago.

That shit was 10x better than London and 100x better than the rest of the country

With the rise of the far right in Germany, I could sadly see plenty of them agreeing with this version…

Dear Mx Dreeshen,

In regards to your last letter, I believe I wholeheartedly understand your concerns.

Your letter helped open my eyes to the error in our plans for the city and thus we shall no longer proceed to install our planned dedicated bicycle lanes.

You are correct that we must deal with the increasing demand for access to our great city.

Therefore we shall be announcing vast improvements to our road structure in the form of increased public transport services, dedicated bus-only routes, additional pedestrianised streets in major shopping areas, and even a couple of tram routes, on top of the bicycle lanes laid out in our original plan - all thanks to your wonderful letter!

Get wrecked you spineless automotive shill.

With love,

Jyoti Gondek

Now I can’t see what the upside down bit says

I’m not op, but I’m 55° north… It’s 22:25 here and this is how light it is right now. In another 4 hours, it’ll be nearly full daylight again!

We don’t need no water let the motherfucker burn. Burn, motherfucker, burn.

I think Chinese Whispers is more commonly the British name for the same game

Edit: I totally fucked up this comment. Please disregard. I’m tired. It’s been a long day. I just need sleep. Good night everyone, and I wish you all the best for tomorrow ❤️

Fuck Heinz in general. They don’t make things taste like actual things, just sweet crap.

Their tomato sauce is terrible. Tomatoes taste tangy, not sweet.

Blue cheese.

Haggis is only hated by those who haven’t tried it.

Goes great with some neeps and tatties ❤️

Absolute heathen.
