I had zero interest in Concord, because I'm not a fan of hero shooters usually, but I ended up putting 18 hours into the beta and really enjoying it. It reminded me of the FPS games I grew up playing.

People using "was" when they mean "were".

And the classic "should of/could of".

I've never understood the point of it. So I can send pictures and message people? How is that different from any other messaging app I can use? 🤷

It literally happened half an hour ago and the conspiracy theories have already started. 😂

I'm just surprised this hasn't happened sooner.

Thoughts with anyone called Al at this difficult time.

Something that costs $3,500 and is very much a "luxury" purchase doesn't sell loads?

I'm shocked.

This alongside paper straws.

Who thought paper and liquid was a good mix?

Isn't this basically Buddhism? Apart from the atheistic bit, of course.

If a party is consistently a close third or even second in some opinion polls, the media HAS to cover them more. Not only to be representative, but also to scrutinise.

It's not wrong, to be fair.

If only someone could have foreseen such a problem arising. 🤔

It's just the ultra paranoid on here, who think that someone knowing they watch The Mandalorian is going to be used against them in some way.

Don't update it then? 🤷

What's wrong with just "not connecting it"?

It's funny because it's exactly the kind of pretentious thing Bono would do, and exactly the way a Scottish person would respond.

Why though? You were that gender, and then you transitioned to what you are now.

Just because you weren't happy as your birth gender doesn't mean that it didn't exist.

What they "felt on the inside" is not the same as what they actually were at the time though. Referring to them as he or she is just a statement of fact at the time.

We had this same thing when Ellen Page became Elliot Page. Then there was an attempt to retroactively change all references and make them Elliot Page, even though the work he did before was as Ellen Page.

It's not transphobic to acknowledge the person they were before transition.

I have mixed feelings on the pronoun use, but having read some of her autobiographical writing I don't think she would have taken much issue with it.

It's fine how they've used it because it's referring to the time before transition, so it's just being accurate and also means the story makes more sense.

The simple reason is that a lot of people feel that the status quo just isn't working for them and hasn't been for a number of years. So they've ended up gradually voting for more and more extremes as the years have gone by, to express their distaste.

Hopefully these results are a wake-up call for EU nations, so they can try and get these voters back to the more moderate parties. I suspect not though.
