Just here to see funny things, catch up on news and maybe make a few comments. Might post a few pics from my travels occasionally. Profile header is from the Hayman island... nice place.

Ignore them for weeks until the public outcry becomes so overwhelming that you're forced to order a largely toothless regulator to launch a multi-week investigation with no actual consequences while continuing to use the platform the images were posted all-over as it poisons society?

Deleting my dating apps so I can meet someone the old fashioned way: Hooking up with my Dad's ex while travelling around Europe and middle east. Then engage in our mutual love of extreme potholing, before parting and sharing stories with Dad.
Deleting my dating apps so I can meet someone the old fashioned way: we are both after an ancient artefact the Nazis are also seeking. Despite different motivations we eventually retrieve the artefact whilst witnessing life altering divine events.
Deleting my dating apps so I can meet someone the old fashioned way: we escape from our mysterious captors whilst handcuffed, together we fight our way out the building, and then a parkour chase across rooftops before a car chase where she drives whilst unable too see and I have to yell instructions

Feel they need to give the faithful a greater incentive to take down a traitor. Felt like many just sat on their suspicions just to keep their head down. They should make it that voting out a Traitor gets you a shield for that night.

Feel Harriet should have been able to plead her case better than that, but instead she gave everyone guilt free permission to choose her. Still, she achieved what she was trying to do. Plug her books as an author several times on a prime time show 😜 #traitors #thetraitors #thetraitorsuk

Trump’s reality check on Venezuela oil:
He rolled out the red carpet for Big Oil at the White House, bragged about reviving Venezuela’s oil and pushing for $100 billion in U.S. investment.
Exxon’s chief flat-out called Venezuela “uninvestable” without massive legal and commercial changes.

Watching the rightwing as it relishes showing how big a c*nt they can be. I think back to all the times they snidely chaste people's good deeds as "virtue" signalling. At the time I thought it was based on "only true charity is anonymous", but it was cuz THEY'D only do it to fool people.

Thanks to Brexit we could establish a tax regime to attract blockchain and stablecoin. But post-Brexit Bitcoin traders prefer Portugal and Milan because of their tax regime. You do see how this.... makes little sense if you argue for Brexit? /3

This is ridiculous. There clearly has not been a 660% increase in terrorism

Very sad to see this go. I remember a few times checking the seat plan and realising I was about to make a mistake with my seat. TA hadn't invested though, and I had seen some flights I'd booked had seat plans that were completely wrong.
