Are you familiar with the idea of a Motte & Bailey argument? Might want to look that up

Show your working?

If only there were a way to work out if the thing that was trialled and not used worked or not

One of your worst ever posts, and that’s saying something

A “daylight” rule still has a tiny margin between “daylight” and “not daylight”.
The issue with the offside rule isn’t where the line is, it’s that the law no longer reflects the spirit of why it exists

“With the mother/daughter relationship strained”
understating it somewhat, considering the story suggests she’s been kicked out of the house to sleep on a park bench at 60

The biggest problem with VAR isn’t even when it gets things wrong, IMO. The issue is that it contributes significantly and unduly to the momentum of a match. Example - a team scores a goal. There’s a few moments of celebration, the team that conceded and the fans adjust to being a goal down… and the...

I put a neutral overlay on the background, the first thing that becomes clear is that the clothing itself actually *is* part of the background - you can see that there’s lower contrast and definition than you’d expect, even when it isn’t sitting against a background of the same colour. That being th...

There could be lots of reasons, aesthetically and symbolically.

I KNEW this post would be about hands.

But yeah are you not aware of Charlie’s finger issues?

Did the operation succeed in making Doctor Who be for you again?

It’s Shirley Henderson

“Doctor Who has never been for straight white men!”*

*apart from that time we joked about a man face f*cking a paving slab with a woman’s face

I left my Wednesday 5s team to be a sub for a team in the division above and I hated it, so i don’t get what Vigs is playing at

You’re going to be a better quality of fan because you’re used to the elite level stuff and not watching hoofball 50% of the time

I wouldn’t know, I don’t support orient

How many young people do you know, out of interest?

It is properly mad to not understand that a move to a top flight club, with higher standards across the board and training alongside experienced top flight players, is a career move, not just a “take the money and retire” move. If he retires having never played another competitive match, have your j...

I couldn’t get into the Capaldi iteration, despite liking Peter Capaldi.
David Tennant gets all the plaudits of modern Doctor Who, but for me, Matt Smith was superb, that was a proper star making performance from him. He’s also fantastic in House of the Dragon

Apparently he said that in Boston you can’t see any entertainment for under 200 dollars, as a kind of “therefore chill your mittens about price rises, c***s, you don’t know you’re born”

The biggest issue is the casting of The Beatles

Nothing - I support the idea that gender non conforming characters can be cast in shows in meaningful roles.

The nuanced view - if you have decided not to watch because there is a black guy playing the doctor, you’re a racist. It is, however, legitimate to notice that the creatives behind Doctor Who are actively using the show to promote a disputed view around gender identity belief, at a time when the neg...

Not clicking an msn link, until I see it on yahoo I don’t believe it

Huge if true

Coming into them all cold, my suspicion is it’d be easier to make the best orient podcast than the worst
