Maybe not for a brand new Tinder date but a hike with someone you’ve known otherwise for a while sounds fine. A hike doesn’t have to be way out in the sticks either where you need to rub sticks to light a fire. Plus I think it makes for a great filter, if she is willing to be alone with you like that, chances are she’s into you as more than just friends.

I don’t like the guy’s political postures or his constant guzzling of Western cock but got to give credit where credit is due.

These very same people would have no problem calling women ‘people that birth’.

Bruh. You do know you are talking about the cocaine capital of Europe here with your deluded “but they’re an island nation!” talk.

There’s also NetGuard and rethink that spoof VPN connections to filter traffic. I use the latter to block all outgoing apps except for the ones I allow.

Why keep the child out of eyesight at all in that case? Why stay in a house and not just camp in front of emergency department if one is so afraid of life happening?

Why the pearl clutching over a child in the house? The person even goes as far as arranging possible cover from the in-laws. Even if they didn’t, it is a child and not a ticking time bomb. Obvious idiots getting blind drunk or tripping balls into the next dimension aside, an experienced tripper in a safe environment (ie their home) would be able to handle themselves fine.

That would be sweet but I have never come across such a thing unfortunately!

It’s not the second pizza that is so bad, it’s the fact that anon couldn’t wait to get home before scoffing the second pizza that makes him a fat ass.

My friend’s dog was extremely self aware, more than most dogs I would say (not an expert), but would still try and eat its own poop.

I don’t trust LLMs to do tldrs for me and it certainly doesn’t provide a rich nuance or spark discussions like asking a human would do.

(I say that with 7 comments in the thread lol but you get my point I’m sure)

haha let’s use the only parroted phrase you know again and again haha

“only stable democracy” haha that old chestnut, you are deluded if you are ignoring the number of actual democracies in the ME that USA has helped topple or marginalised.

Ahhh an Aussie, your state mandated levels of Stockholm syndrome towards your nanny state will never allow you to open your eyes to any other possibilities. Again with the word ‘free’, I don’t think you quite understand how much you pay through your arse for so little. If you think the UK has good healthcare or is something to brag about, you truly are lost my friend.

Born and brought up in the UK. Don’t come from a disadvantaged background nor did I live in a poor area. Worked and paid taxes almost all my grown life like a good little momo. Our system (socialised healthcare) may work somewhat on the national level but it sucks at the individual level. To be clear, I am not against socialised healthcare but to pretend we are blessed by it free of cost or that it works wonders (OP I replied to originally) is the height of lunacy or huffing fairy dust. Many benefits we (Europeans) receive are in fact paid for through our noses and pretending it is some benevolent government’s doing is not doing anyone any favours.

taxed to bomb kids in the Middle East

That’s literally any Western country dude, stop already. Enjoy being nuked by Russia to ensure continued American hegemony.

Have you actually lived anywhere in Europe or are you just guessing from the other side of the fence? Do you have any idea how much we have to pay through our noses for useless medical insurance that leaves you waiting 3-4 weeks to see a mf GP when it is your turn and has people dying on waiting lists.

I’m not advocating for a USA style system, but the momo above you makes it sound like Europe (western part anyway) is some sort of utopia.

What do you think guarantees all the other rights? A strongly worded letter to the local newspaper?

Haha and how much are you getting taxed up your arse for all the ‘free’ stuff exactly? Good luck with the third mortgage so you can keep up with tax payments while you freeze your arse off this winter and half your children die due to malnourishment.
