Also perfect for going in a sarnie

Not the case.

Use to do a lot of sport had knee surgery at 21. As mentioned probably didn’t eat enough, done a lot of on, off stop start stuff. Travelled the world. Switched activities. Was never overweight.

While I could have done more to improve my knees some people are just born with better knees than others and I’ve come to accept that. I don’t have issues with my back or shoulders or neck or hands. I know people my age that do. It’s just how it goes.

Fucking hell this is true.

So is the two day hangovers, you just don’t get better. You wake up with a hangover where you think if I eat and nap it will be gone. 10pm rolls around and you feel exactly the same as you did at 10am. Then you feel tired and run down on the second day. People tell me it gets even worse and I believe them now. Can’t drink hazy IPA without living to regret it, but I do that all the time.

I have never been overweight and largely been in shape but on and off. Now I feel it so bad getting back into it. It isn’t about pushing yourself as hard as you can without pulling a muscle. It is about carefully listening to your body and when your joints start feeling weird it’s time to stop.

Don’t fuck about with your knees people. Wish I didn’t jump off shit as a kid, also wish I ate more for recovery.

Where the fuck is my stem cell injections we were promised 10 years ago!

They always are and they know it.

Doesn’t matter at that level it’s all part of the game.

I’m not American so I don’t really know what’s going on. It seems that people, especially on this website, can’t see anything Trump says or does as a positive because he isn’t on their team. But he certainly has said and done things that are right or a positive at least for some people. Can’t just disagree with someone for the sole reason you don’t like him.

But economics is complicated. For example trade barriers make things more expensive and could increase jobs or decrease them. Or more accurately increase in some areas and decrease in others. No one knows what’s going to happen for sure, even looking back people disagree on what has happened.

But I personally think there has been too much emphasis on GDP growth around the western world and lower business costs rather than increasing discretionary income and jobs for lowest earners. So policies that are weighted for that rather than businesses I see as net gain at the moment.

👌

Do you want things to be cheaper or wages to be higher (especially wages for those in low wage jobs).

There were ideals about competitive advantage. But the whole economy has been undercut by lower wages elsewhere that things got cheaper but not because of increases in productivity in the economy so wages went down.

There are a lot of pressure to deflate wages with free trade and immigration. But things that increase wages like market forces and limited labour aren’t really a factor anymore.

Making things again would be taxes on imports, free education, tax breaks for RandD and investment. Also subsidies and blocks on exporting IP and knowledge.

The internet is so tame now. Are there any websites left or is it largely just professional stuff left?

Japan is weird.

I really want to go and get involved, and I don’t mean not in those weird videos or game shows you see on the internet.

Fake but at least it isn’t gay.

Melbourne is a city of tryhards

The point of the question is to show how limited that information actually is. Just look at how small the Wikipedia article is.

No one is denying English people have set foot on Nicaragua. But to claim that’s what the joke is about is stupid.

No one is going to hear that joke and think “hahaha that’s a about a settlement in 1633! What an absolute reference! Classic”

If you asked about British/English colonialism it would take forever for the members of the public to reference Nicaragua.

Right. So you think people know that and that’s what the joke is about?

Of course none of this matters.

If you were making a joke then it was poorly constructed and I missed it. Pyrflie made the same joke but better and I laughed when I read that. Yours comes across as factually incorrect “acktually”.

We seem to have a disagreement about what the joke is about and I’m willing to be proven wrong by Brits. That’s all I’m saying. Short of Noel himself showing up other British people are going to know the meaning of the joke best. Until then I think you are misleading people.

Christ alive. Look jokes works because of peoples understanding of it. If you think English involvement in Nicaragua is common knowledge enough for a joke on colonialism then fucking hell you must think more of the education of the general public than me. As fair as I know American involvement in Nicaragua is way more common knowledge than English involvement there which breaks the joke.

But it is all meaningless anyway because the joke isn’t about that.

This website is weird at times. Joke about American’s education gets turned into a history of colonialism and the breakdown of a what makes a joke, a joke. I’m going to the pub.

That’s the biggest stretch in the world.

The joke is about education systems. If it was about British interest overseas he would have said something like “Yes, we are English. We take a lot of interest in far away lands”.

I’m not saying he wouldn’t make that joke, it’s a normal enough joke for Brit to make. But he is certainly joking about quality in education in this case as he mentions it. You are just imagining the world as you want it to be, not seeing it for how it is.

Let’s wait for the Brits to wake up and see what their view is.

It’s absolutely not.

What’s Nicaragua got to do with British colonialism? It’s about Americans being ignorant of other countries.

That doesn’t excuse the Americans though

Edit: this one might be better

Holy shit you guys have sales tax? Really living in the 1800’s there.

Well that’s just the level of economic understanding on this website. Immigrants get everything for free but everyone else pays for society at large.

That’s not how fact checking works.

Someone’s made a stupid text on image post incorrectly comparing things and didn’t even back that up.
