If you're such and "individualist", feel free to go fuck yourself.

In all fairness, it is HIS office, not a conference hall. Idk why they insist on crowding everyone into chairs in that space.

I don't live in the UK, no. But where I live there is practically zero real government safety nets to help people in poverty, because it's a rampant problem and the state can hardly manage to keep the country running as is. The only things that are commonly associated with helping the homeless here are religious institutions.

I don't imagine I'll be literally on the streets, at least not for a while, I could maybe drift around to a few places, but even that I can't burden people forever.

I am genuinely considering a tent tough.

I'll never get over how the east-west Europe framing got changed after the 90s, and how nowadays poles, Czechs, Slovaks etc are so desperate to be "in the club" that the concept of "central Europe" suddenly became so important to them, to the point that they will get triggered by any implication that they're eastern European, despite their long history of literally being slavs.

Been gone a while because I've been dealing with royal pain in the ass government and health insurance burocracy, the stress makes it hard to find time to think about anything else. I can't imagine what it's like in the US where the same sort of matters could put you in debt for life, jfc.

What does it matter? I was referring specifically to the usefulness of robotic infantry in modern warfare. Battles are won with air power, missiles and intelligence warfare, things you don't really need humanoid autonomous robots to do.

I don't see the purpose, in a world where every major power has missiles and nuclear warheads. Even without that, armoured vehicles and air superiority are the next most significant in modern war, and infantry comes a distant third. I think we are long past the point that robotic infantry would serve any use.

I don't know if this is true or not, just an anecdote I've heard from Dutch friends in the past, but it's it true that there was some sort of archaic rule that only very recently stopped being enforced, where buildings could not be built taller than the church spire of their town?

The UK Parliament is literally part of the UK government... They participate, put up candidates for elections, and vote on laws.

To compare: the Sinn Fein party, another "separatist" party, from Ireland, does not send representatives to Westminster. They do not take part directly in the government that they're aiming to becoming independent from, which is a more serious way of going about things than the SNP.

The Scottish Nationalist Party has a lot of members in the UK parliament, for example.

Kneecap is genuinely a fantastic time, I've got the feeling that their and Bob Vylans acts at Glastonbury are likely going down in history as one of the most important sets in punk music.
