SOMEONE was very keen to be let out into the garden without realizing how cold it is and now is mewing like Cathy Heathcliff to be let back inside

Oh man, hope it all works out :/

Oh damn. No alternative airlines?

Scientist 1: what shall we name this bird?

Extremely tired scientist 2, trying to wrap up: well -

Questions For Tudor Following Palace Catastrophe

Instagram is offering me ads to learn Bangla 🤔

:(

We’re having a debate in our house right now as well.

Whoa! Those are some astonishing photos

Yep!!

They aren’t. That’s the whole point.

In fact I misread the letter. It seems she wants a 10-year wait for ILR + followed by an additional 15-year wait for citizenship, so 25 years of limbo. Unless you earn a lot (consistently) in which case it’s only 20 years.

… have bags packed in case you need to leave, you don’t really make connections in the community because a successive government could change the rules and make you leave…

Why would anyone apart from the most desperate subject themselves to this

Indeed. So if you came to the UK as a 25-year old, you would presumably (if you stuck around) get ILR when you were 30, and then get citizenship when you were 45. In all this while you’re a total foreigner in the land you work in, your kids pay 3X the cost that others do for college, you…

Like I wrote recently all this is very insulting to anyone with medium intelligence. Just come out directly and say you want people on temporary work visas and don’t want British citizens to have foreign spouses!

Love to be classified as a historic error

plus the whole “face” vs actual belief thing

exactly right ? I think the question was answered by a bunch of bhakts who visualized other bhakts while answering it

Absolutely reeling at the insanity of Modi not saying a word about the US murdering a bunch of unarmed state guests engaging in naval exercises. That the traitorous filth are getting hammered by the likes of ARUN PRAKASH on REPUBLIC TV is everything that Bhakts deserve.

I fear this survey is confusing belief (I actually believe people in my country are morally good) versus “face”. Because I can’t think of any other explanation for the result for India

I was getting convinced but then I saw the results for India. This survey is not reliable.

I doubt they were doing anything fantastic with pens either! Just allergic to power

Wang Shishen 汪士慎 (1686-1759), October 1728:

每餐先备买鱼钱，曾记携归小似拳，
一自爪牙动黠鼠，傍人安稳卧青氊。

I set money aside for fish before each meal.
She used to be no bigger than my hand --
Now with claw and tooth she routs the crafty rat,
And drowses by her humans on her mat.

an example: it's probably possible right now/soon, to create an AI tool that searches the web for people whose online presence betrays feelings of loneliness/latent mental health issues, finds them, then creates multiple virtual friends or even entire communities, & pushes them to violence

“Gentle Elephant Damage” sounds like a very esoteric band

A good thing about being Bengali is that it is highly likely that no one in the last 14 generations has been in the military.

this is excellent

as a 5’ 2” person myself this mini-thread has cheered me up immensely
