Oh thats sad. Wouldn’t have wished it on a better corporation…

Umm yes they are.

Qatar are amateurs comparing to USA in everything, including violating human rights, committed genocide, killed civilians.

I’ll give you genocide but I’d encourage you to read up about the kafala system, treatment of women and lgbt folks etc. If anything US is taking tips from Qatar.

Football fans care about their team and nothing more, they trully don’t mix sport and politic.

I’m guessing you’ve never heard of the old firm then?

I feel like you dont understand football fans. If Qatar and all the deplorable things that go on there didn’t stop them I doubt fascists will.

Ofcourse they are walking it back. Mass layoffs lead to mass unemployment, which triggers economic downturn. Investing in that is like chickens for KFC.

I’ve no idea what the future holds but I’m sure as shit not listening to a word they say.

How about he gets raging about things people are actually worried about? Like the cost of energy or housing or genocide in Palestine or climate change???

I mean, yeah, FIFA are taking the piss but its not exactly top of the agenda.

Thats a journalist though. They should know better.

Legally only Westminster (UK parliament) can allow a referendum. Usually, when we ask for one, they (UK gov) just say “no” and refuse to discuss it further.

Trouble is thats not very democratic if the union is voluntary and there is a will for a referendum at Holyrood (Scottish parl.).

So likely outcome is UK gov will say “no, go away, stop bothering us about it”. They can’t keep doing that forever though.

Just fyi, by ‘north’ they mean ‘halfway up Britain’.

And by ‘king’ they mean ‘mayor who is popular but is actually a pretty average politician’.

Scottish independence ftw 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Look I’m not going to waste a Sunday arguing with a horrible little troll bigot. Have a nice day 😅

Its laughable when unisex toilets have existed for as long as they have.

I get the womens rights angle but cis women have it pretty easy compared to trans women (and trans men).

Demanding an ‘exclusive female place’ is entitled and basically the cisfemale equivalent of white privilege. Especially when unisex facilities have existed for decades without incidence.

Who needs a nose anyway.

Hey, remember when you bought a ‘copy’ of software? And it was yours to use for as long as you like? Subscriptions are the worst.

Bought it when it was a reasonable price but switching to jellyfin anyway. Fuck late stage capitalism.

Its awful. Its like they cut their design team and got AI to do the work instead.

Now I think about it I wouldn’t be surprised if thats actually what happened. But instead of just car design it was their whole product strategy.

Was a loyal Ford (european) customer but I don’t want an SUV version of the mustang, a massive truck or whatever the new ‘Capri’ is (its not a Capri).

And why are they all so ugly??

Wtf happened to Ford??

Conflating two issues there.

If they’re talking about developing ‘an AI’, they were late but are still in the game.

If they’re talking about adoption of AI, they shat the bed there. They slapped copilot on everything and tried to force us into the way they thought we should be working. They forced us to give up old hardware and to use their garbage new OS. All that was wrong and seriously turned a lot of people against MS. They forgot that ‘the customer is always right’. Again.

I still think there will be a big role for AI, but its in the background, quietly assisting in a way we barely notice. Big Tech will pay for how they’ve missold AI.

knows you’ll give in eventually

No, I bloody will not.

It was the same with the last UK visit
