Think you need to tweak your understanding a bit.

But I wasnโ€™t ascribing it to you - you did that part. I was engaging the more general point that (unlike you) many people do in fact deny who they are attracted to despite physiological indicators. Interesting that you reduce such behaviours to simple โ€˜bad faithโ€™ though.

What an uncalled for, nasty response. I was referring to those who push down desires and literally believe they donโ€™t have them despite having them. But hey, letโ€™s assume the worst of everyone and strike back. Letโ€™s make Bluesky X! ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝ

But thereโ€™s always room for cognitive dissonance.

I donโ€™t disagree at all. Was just pointing out that that was the thrust of the article: she couldnโ€™t blame Brexit now without raising the question of why she hasnโ€™t all along.

03.11.2025 16:56 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The article states that nothing has changed since before and being elected with respect to the known impact of Brexit, so blaming it now is disingenuous and discredits her integrity.

I didnโ€™t know he was a climate scientist. How interestingโ€ฆ ๐Ÿคจ

I agree that heโ€™s planning on staying. Though also think he would spend that amount of other peopleโ€™s money for even a weekโ€™s holiday.

I actually canโ€™t really understand how or what went onโ€ฆ

Somehow doing this on SNL makes me uncomfortable. It feels like it helps normalise it.

12.10.2025 05:33 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Not sure about that. The BBC has been heavily compromised since Brexit.

Donโ€™t understand. Spain is one of the last properly liberal countries in Europe. Like Europeโ€™s Canada. (But equally under threat.)

Or are you referring to the Franco years?

Iโ€™d love to see UK back enjoying FoM.

And Iโ€™m not actually following this account.

Successful campaigns recognise and welcome supportive criticism rather than shun it. But each to their own. Iโ€™ll not be pressing follow or commenting anymore.

Iโ€™m not opposing improvements. Iโ€™m trying to point out that your path to getting to those improvements is unlikely to succeed because you frame the terms incorrectly and bat away anyone who suggests this. The fact that you have to result to ad hominem insults suggests to me you know this.

Perhaps reasonable in relation to some other places, but I do find eating out in the UK to have become very expensive since Covid.

The UK is NOT offering 6 mos to EU citizens. It is offering 6 mos to all visa free 3rd country nationals, as it had long before Brexit. Same with the EU in relation to UK. This isnโ€™t about pre or post-Brexit. Pretending it is undermines your argument, imo.

29.09.2025 06:28 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

That still sounds quite pricey to me- or rather, standard sort of cost, which is pricey.

28.09.2025 20:42 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

They are not the UKโ€™s post Brexit arrangements though, they are the UKโ€™s pre-Brexit arrangements for visa-free 3rd country nationals, as are the EUโ€™s. These arrangements became reciprocal post-Brexit at the UKโ€™s request. Making the EU the bad guy here is wrong and hugely exceptionalist.

Excellent. Although Iโ€™d feel more hopeful if it wasnโ€™t a journalist who left mainstream journalism because she felt constrained on speaking the truthโ€ฆ

Believing that London validates this opinion is - respectfully - part of the problem. London is as safe, multicultural, and welcoming as it always was. Though the right want the rest of the country to believe otherwise to smear Khan and further their overarching aims.

I was harassed overnight on here. The first time anywhere online. Itโ€™s unpleasant. I wonโ€™t name the people - one posting endlessly, one liking each post - but have reported the instigator. If we canโ€™t politely disagree without being viciously accused of being a fake account, what is Bluesky for?

Itโ€™s funny. Even though itโ€™s very minor stuff - I do feel a little like Iโ€™ve been punched after having woken up. I can only imagine what a sustained and serious harassment campaign would do to someone. Horrible.

Thanks Sarah. Overnight Dean launched a harassment campaign against me. Iโ€™ve had to report literally countless pasta where he accuses me of not being real. I am. Iโ€™ve also reported his profile for harassment.

01.09.2025 07:27 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Iโ€™ve reported all these posts as well as your profile. I believe these false claims amount to online harassment.

Reported as well. Yes, I generally only reply, as my bio states. I have an allergy to โ€˜declaring wisdom unto the worldโ€™

I think you are a strange and damaged person.

People disagree sometimes. Accept it.
