Arson is a right.

It should be a right.

No, the majority are about specific history or culture, usually local. Natural History Museum covers nature, Science Museum covers science, Leeds museum covers the history of the city of Leeds, Crab museum covers worker's movements. The British museum is really the Stuff The British Stole museum.

Using spices doesn't mean making spicy food, especially if you're using spicy to mean containing capsaicin. They are mostly used to enhance the main flavour of the dish, they don't need to be overpowering.

And sure it adds umami, but if that's all we wanted we could just use the fish sauce it's based on. The spices add additional flavour that add more than just a generic umami flavour profile. Garlic is umami too, but that's not its entire flavour.

Kinda funny that foreigners always bring up baked beans as an example of us not using spices when we bake our beans in a spiced tomato sauce. And then we cover them in Worcestershire sauce, which is largely concentrated and fermented spices.

Like we do actually have loads of foods that don't use any spices - butter pie, sausage and mash, smoked kippers - but people seem really attached to the appearance of baked beans.

The political alignment is entirely relevant to Miles O'Brien.

It is definitely a lot easier than it used to be, and the horror stories tend to be the attention grabbing ones, so are more often seen. I think we'll see a lot more acceptance for the new generation of teens and young adults discovering themselves now it's genx/millennials raising kids rather than boomers/genx.

He reprised his original appearance in The Chats' video for Dine n Dash, too.

Go into the notes of almost any of their releases and you'll find borderline schizophrenic screeds full of hate and bigotry. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, thinking the Harry Potter series is good, all kinds of shit. Also, at least once she said she was going to jail because she was caught cracking something but kept putting out releases without any disruption. Here's one from the time she was accused of being a trans woman (cw: all of the above)

removing their protection

Oh please, please do tell me about NATO's defensive operations. I promise you it's not a trick, there is at least one NATO operation that took place on the soil of a member state.
Then we can talk about all of NATO's invasions of non-member states and take a look at how reasonable it is to demand that a group that have specifically designated you as their enemy withdraw from bordering states.

Uh, sure, but we're not 6 year olds anymore, so you should be able to grasp the larger geopolitical implications of a specifically anti-Russian alliance continuing to further enlarge and spread into countries bordering Russia. Remember when the US innocently moved a few nukes to Turkey and it resulted in the Cuban Missile Crisis?

According to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg;

The background was that President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And was a pre-condition for not invade Ukraine. Of course we didn’t sign that.

The opposite happened. He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second class membership. We rejected that.

So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders.

Transcript

I know you think you're very clever for not buying into such obvious russian disinformation, but they don't need to lie about stuff like this. Start doing a bit more research instead of taking news at face value.

The alternative is sitting down, having a talk, drinking some tea and talking about our differences.

You really don't understand that the things you say have meanings, do you?
