  • Honestly that’s standard for a foreign national when appearing before government investigation committees, particularly one who doesn’t think they’d do well when grilled by people with way more experience in arguing the point, see Mark Zuckerberg not attending his invite to a UK parliament select committee hearing.

    It’d be a bold and stupid play for him to show up and incriminate himself further, though it would have been entertaining to watch the moment of realisation that he’s in way over his head spread across his face.



  • I genuinely don’t like eating steak.

    I’ll eat it if it’s put in front of me but I genuinely just don’t get the appeal of a giant slab of meat that’s that chewy (even after being tenderised) and fights you when you cut it.

    Steak chunks that have marinated in a sauce for a long time until they melt apart in your mouth is devine.

    But a giant hunk just slapped on the plate isn’t my thing at all and I don’t understand why people like it.






  • Even asking for unlimited youth is tricky for the monkey paw could just make you forever a baby.

    Now that wouldn’t necessarily mean you’d end up being an adult brain in a baby’s body, just straight up a 1 year old that never develops, always reliant on someone else. You’d literally have 1 year before you’d be surrendered to some sort of institution as a medical oddity whilst you comprehend nothing doomed to overwhelming stimulus forever.

    Best you could hope for is specifying an age in your life you consider to be what your physical peak was and just deal with the lack of mental development completion if that physical peak was before being roughly 25 years old.





  • Yeah and the wild thing is that the importance axis is cut-off, by the time it reaches 10+ screens that’s the single most important employee who if they were runover by a bus tomorrow, the company will just randomly implode one day when something only they know how to maintain just falls over and no contractor can untangle the spaghetti infrastructure.

    The thing is, they haven’t had a pay rise since screen 6 but somehow are just unphased even by inflation.


  • Yeah I feel like when it comes to summer dress for guys it’s basically the shorts & t-shirt outfit accurately depicted in the meme, topless if you’re got the body/don’t-give-a-fuck, or white cotton shirt and trousers that make you look somewhere between wannabe boyband member and British pink-skinned colonist on a gap year.

    If people have sensible options outside of that (man-kini does not count) please let us know below.
