Cyprus is the pet cat they were fighting over, and the cat really just wants to be left alone

It still does. I have no idea why we bother paying articles like this any attention. Then again I suppose it is worth reporting on that it happens generally, and I don’t have any suggestions for how to make news outlets just do an annual summary

While I don’t think that what you’re saying is by any means implausible, there is an actual difference here. All rockets and missiles destroy themselves in the process of attacking a target. Not all drones do. A lot of them have a simple mechanism that drops a grenade or similar

Then it’s no wonder she left

It might allow you to join the clan as a social club, essentially. A fair few of them have newsletters and run events where they get together, so it can be a good network. It doesn’t affect the day-to-day life of the average person, though

Here in Scotland / the UK you’d be absolutely fine so long as you’re a decent person. There’s not even a language barrier beyond dialect, and dialects vary hugely within the UK and each part of the UK anyway. Just please don’t insist that your great-great-grandmother is actually from Clan MacWhatever.

You fool, you’re only supposed to post things like that on the Warthunder forums!

It’s one of the many often attributed to Winston Churchill, though to my knowledge there’s no actual evidence of him actually saying it and his other writings go against the sentiment. I don’t know who actually did say it first

Johnson is a slimy tosspot, and his position on Russia is good only for self-serving reasons. Supporting Ukraine let him act out his little Churchill fantasy and distract from all of his domestic failings

As a physically large man who used to work a job that meant he was walking home late at night in the city, just cross the road to overtake. If you’re walking that much faster than the other person, you will overtake pretty soon.

I don’t think it’s necessarily a misleading headline. I don’t doubt for a second that Trump would make some meaningless demand with no regard for reality

Annual government spending was about 1.2 trillion last year, so it’s about 3.5% of that. Alternatively it’s about 30% of last year’s deficit

Seconding Space Marine 2. It’s built for three-player co-op, crossplay works smoothly, and it’s a super satisfying shooter

The US military is currently directly involved in fighting in Yemen and Somalia. It’s relatively small-scale, but it is happening

Also Gojira being amazing

Classic ChatGPT there, forgetting two letters and adding in two that weren’t there before

I’m pretty sure comparing this spike to the spike from when he actually did drop out is exactly what they intended to do. They’re showing that even though this spike exists relative to recent weeks, it’s small compared to the number of people who were relatively on the ball.

This is actually a Lord of the Rings shitpost and it turns out that Bree, Eriador has a thriving cheesemaking industry

If you have fact-checked it, why not just say that wherever you did that is where you got the answer from? People are right to be skeptical of “ChatGPT says so”, and if you’ve used it as the start of your research rather than as your entire research then just saying “I asked ChatGPT” is no different to “I googled it”, and nobody would much like you saying that either. How you found the information is less important than where you found it.
