Public opinion is definitely skewing more towards Palestine, at least here in Britain. Where I live, I genuinely saw a pro-Palestine march back in October attended by thousands, along with Palestinian flags waved everywhere around town. Haven't seen any Israeli flags or marchers by comparison, and I don't think that's out of fear.

The only people I've seen genuinely throw support towards Israel have been Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer.

I can't say I'm surprised that people like Andrew Tate, Steven Crowder, Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro have gained quite the social media following. Society has failed a lot of young men, and the oligarchy that controls our world has a lot to answer for.

Men are disproportionately affected by a lot of the socioeconomic issues currently plaguing the Western world because despite decades of progress towards creating an egalitarian society, men are the ones who are negatively impacted if they cannot provide. Look at the US and how judicial decisions on child custody and alimony are heavily favoured towards women as a very good example of this.

And before you dispute me on this notion, can you offer any other explanation for why the biggest role model for a lot of teenage boys is some bloomy rind dick cheese who looks like a spitting image of the Stonks meme guy?

Speaking as a Brit myself, yes a lot of us are this dumb.

I've seen more intelligence in low elo League of Legends lobbies than from (especially older) voters in this country.

Like, there are people who legitimately think the influx of Muslim and African immigration in our country is the EU's fault.

Britain: "Screw the EU. We're sick of following your regulations and welcoming your people into our country just to steal our jobs from hardworking British workers and scrounge off of our NHS and welfare state. But we still want to trade freely and come live in your countries whenever we feel like it, because we're massive xenophobic hypocrites who think the entire world still revolves around us."

France: "Fruckoff."

Biden 100% needs our energy right now. Trump will turn America into the Fourth Reich.

Norway has absolute Chadwicks in the form of Finland and. Sweden as buffers.

Finland has experience in kicking Soviet ass.

Shkreli legit looks like Emo Peter Parker from Spider-Man 3, and is somehow even more of a dick. Good riddance.

Nah, it's gotta be Snoop Dogg.

Alternatively, Lil Pump.

I can't believe I wanted to live in America fifteen years ago. Now I wanna stay the hell away. Y'all are unhinged.

I'm hardstuck Iron, so I just get paired with morons and professional inters.

Meh. The only thing going well for me right now is work.

Failed my recent ACCA exam (which I was underprepared for), though to be honest failing one exam out of four isn't so bad.

Other than that, it's been tonnes of friendship drama that's been exhausting to me both emotionally and mentally. I don't want to go into it.

On an unrelated note, I've been chatting to a lady I met on Facebook Dating for the past few months and we were planning to meet next Saturday. Unfortunately she double-booked and had to reschedule for a to-be-determined future date. The challenge is that she suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome and isn't even sure if she can or even wants to commit to a relationship when she lacks the energy to even function in her normal life. She's honestly been both hot and cold with me, and she has been worried about stringing me along.

The decision to push Vanguard upon League players is a baffling one, especially since hacking, scripting and botting are nowhere near as prominent in MOBA games.

I can only see one potential upside to this and that is Riot being able to more effectively hardware ban serious rule breakers.

My problem with Riot is that their Customer Support is almost Blizzard levels of shit.

I'm inclined to say yes.

Alcohol is a depressant and going from heavy drinking to cold turkey is almost always a bad idea. It's one of those things you need to gradually wean yourself off of. Alcohol withdrawal can legit kill people.

Smoking... I've known people who have quit it by going cold turkey.

The moth transformation occurs when the cocoon is near a lamp.

Wasn't expecting to see Hit The Lights in this thread.

That song is cool, but I'm more of a fan of These Backs Are Made For Stabbing and Save Your Breath.

Cher Lloyd - Swagger Jagger

Wait... Keanu Reeves if a boomer?

I'll wait and see what Nintendo announce, but it's likely that I'll be skipping this gen too.

There are very few AAA games that actually interest me right now. I have little reason to get a PS5 and even fewer reasons to buy an Xbox Series console. If hell truly freezes over and the Switch successor turns out to be a far more powerful console with better online capabilities, then I just might buy it.
