  1. Wokeism is a black American cultural movement and ideal that requires its people to be aware of the implicit biases of the American system against them, it has nothing to do with China. So you just skimmed over the parts where I criticised China, I also don’t recall praising China. In fact I’ve had at lengthly and quite productive discussions with Gonzo about human rights abuses in China, but you wouldn’t know that, would you. I know you didn’t read the article too, I could have posted a joke link and you wouldn’t notice. And yes Salman is the king. Read that I didn’t say ‘bin Salman’, I said ‘Salman’ who is the father and of bin Salman (the prime minister) and absolute monarch of Saudi Arabia, which is not basically the same as the CCP, which is ironic that you’d accuse me of liking one and not the other when it’s very obvious I’m critical of both, but you are in fact the person that’s critical of one while sucking the dick of the other. Words the orangekrush doesn’t understand but uses libertarian communism socialism fascism dictator authoritarian woke anarcho democracy monarchy @Dr. Gonzo @Rucksackfranzose feel free to add more to the list, we can keep a running tally

  5. Week 30 Results Lorient 0-2 Lyon Bologna 0-1 Inter Milan Brighton Women 0-4 Man Utd Women Toronto 1-0 Charlotte FC Independiente 1-1 River Plate Macarthur 0-3 Central Coast Bristol City 1-0 Swansea Alaves 1-0 Rayo Vallecano Celtic 4-2 Livingston Young Boys 5-1 Basel Round-up A mixture of results as 4 games only had 1 goal in them, while 3 other games had 4+ goals. This didn't stop @nawoo from outscoring everyone else with a high score of 19 points, and that took him up 1 place to 4th. Next best was @Pyfish who scored 18 points, and was the only one to get more than 1 perfect score. @Rucksackfranzose stays just ahead of @Tommy by one point.

  8. So you've come back after licking your wounds, eh? Well Mr. Libertarian-Nonce, how about you do some explaining. Please enlighten me on a few little caveats you don't seem to address but dance around the boot you lick. So socialism only applies to those well connected, well I seem to be able to use the roads pretty easily, whose cronyism am I appealing to? i seem to be able to use my universal healthcare in Australia very easily, I don't know anyone in medicine. I can call the police, the fire brigade, and an ambulance just fine, I can apply for unemployment, the PBS, maternity and paternity leave, pension, superannuation, childcare support, wow the list goes on... yet I don't know anyone and these services are provided to me as social programs, weird right!? So who is this magical person I know that gets me these connections? Okay that's question one finished, maybe you can now define fascism and how the policies of AfD differ from fascism, they seem to really love the hallmarks of fascism; anti-immigration, historical revisionism, prefacing an in-group and an out-group to blame the 'struggles of the nation on', nationalism, xenophobia, religious prejudice, racism, the 'decline of morals and ethics in society', homophobia, literally using key words that the Nazi party used, you have no idea what you are talking about yet again. Lastly, can you quote me on where I was twerking for Xi? I seem to recall being very critical of Xi, China, and you're inability to use words correctly, and now I'm going to be critical of your reading comprehension because no matter how much you staring the face of facts laid bare before you, I can continue to read the diarrhoea sprayed from your fingertips onto my computer screen.

  9. Goals and winners aplenty for the latest two! Game 107 had an early goal in the 8th minute: 2 points 3 points! 1 point 3 points! 3 points! While Game 108's first of six goals was even earlier, in the 5th minute: 1 point Plus @Bluebird Hewitt adding to his tally again with his 3rd-minute pick. Table after Game 108: Lots of change after a flurry of winners, with @Bluewolf now heading up into 2nd on 19 points, and @Lucas going up to 3rd, joining two others on 17 points. @Bluebird Hewitt up to 7th, whilst @Rucksackfranzose and @Redcanuck also improve their placings, the latter getting his first exact score.

  15. Results - Gameweek One Casualties (6) Half a dozen people fail to clear the first hurdle this time with 2 of the 5 teams that saw some backing this week failing to deliver. Despite taking an early lead at Rayo Vallecano, league leaders Real Madrid were pegged back and played out a 1-1 draw, sending @RandoEFC, @Bluewolf, @...Dan and @Rick crashing out. @Dan and @Redcanuck also leave the Spanish round pointless after gambling on Granada, who could only rescue a draw against bottom side Almeria after going behind early on. Unlucky, folks! See you in France. Survivors (11) Around two-thirds of this round's entrants make it through the first Gameweek. All of this week's good news came on Saturday, with Atletico Madrid opening proceedings with a 5-0 thumping of Las Palmas, sending @6666, @Michael, @Pyfish, @Lucas, @Stan and @Storts safely through. Osasuna's 2-0 win over Cadiz provided relatively stress-free progress for @Viva la FCB and @Tommy, who keep all of the league's big guns in their back pocket for future Gameweeks. Finally, there was drama afoot for @nudge, @CaaC (John) and @Rucksackfranzose, who had to rely on a 97th minute penalty for Barcelona to secure a 2-1 win at Celta Vigo and see them live to see another day. Congratulations on your progress. See below for this weekend's fixtures. Preview - Gameweek Two Games start on Friday. Real Sociedad vs Villarreal Granada vs Valencia Barcelona vs Getafe Alaves vs Mallorca Almeria vs Atletico Madrid Cadiz vs Celta Vigo Real Betis vs Athletic Club Las Palmas vs Osasuna Real Madrid vs Sevilla Girona vs Rayo Vallecano Good luck!

  18. I'm sure there is, but the way Israel has gone about fighting this war is foolish at best and malicious at worst. Israel's done nothing but bolster Palestinian propaganda because they've done nothing but show disregard for Palestinian civilian life. It is just going to create another generation of Palestinians that think Israelis and Jews see them as pests to slaughter, so they will be very easy for radicals to take advantage of and use their lives as pawns in a greater geopolitical game - just like their parents are at the moment. What's the end game? Nobody in Israel seems to know. Will they occupy Gaza like the West Bank? It seems to be an unpopular opinion amongst both Israelis or Palestinians. Is Israel just going to make the size of Gaza smaller - concentrated into a camp to live in? I think Netenyahu's popularity rating is actually dogshit right now and if Israel held an election tomorrow, he would get crushed. A lot of people view him as the guy who let October 7th's attacks happen. A ceasefire will probably let Hamas regroup a bit, but I'm sure they've been massively devastated after months of this war dragging on. Let's not forget it's one of the most heavily armed militaries in the world with nearly the full support of the West against a starving group of people with terrorists amongst them. The primary reason to have a ceasefire is because Gaza needs humanitarian aid. If you don't view Palestinians as people, you probably won't see things this way - but the fact is the way Israel fights wars creates humanitarian crises. Indiscriminate bombing campaigns, gunning down starving people trying to gather aid, and bombing refugee camps is going to do a hell of a lot more to indoctrinate the populous against Israel than a ceasefire will. This is the biggest problem with the way Israel tries to fight terror. There is no attempt to actually do anything to combat the ideologies - instead just moving in, killing people, and disregarding the human rights of the territories they occupy... it does nothing to halt extremism & this doesn't make Israel any safer. A ceasefire and Israel actually taking steps to demonstrate they respect human rights and don't have a total disregard for Palestinian life would go a long way. I'm sorry, but there is no true existential threat to Israel at the moment. If Israel was seriously facing any existential threat, the US military and likely other countries like France, Germany, the UK, etc. would all come rushing to make sure that Israel's safety is guaranteed. So that's not really any justification for Israel's continual refusal to follow international laws and for the continued illegal settlements. If anything, these illegal settlements put more Israelis at risk as they give West Bank Palestinians good reason to hate settlers and hate Israelis. A two state solution hasn't been on the table since Rabin's assassination. And has been far from Israelis minds since the day Netanyahu first took power. We're talking about the mid-90s here. So no, it's not really fair to characterise the failure of any progress towards meaningful peace just at the feet of Palestinians. There are people in both groups of people that have a longing desire to put this conflict behind them and move on to have normal lives, they've been let down by leaders who are all too happy to have the extremism grow. But in the eyes of most of the world, the failure of any two-state solution lies firmly at the feet of both Palestinians and Israelis. If the UNSC had done its job in the 90s, Netanyahu wouldn't have been in power for so long and the illegal settlements in the West Bank wouldn't exist. But the UNSC has no real legitimacy in this conflict, imo. Of the permanent members, there's 4 countries that have such close historical ties to Israel... they're basically culpable for the present day situation - especially the US, UK, and Russia. That leaves China as the only one that can truly claim to be neutral... and China's currently conducting an actual genocide of Muslims in Xinjiang. An international coalition is probably needed, but I think it doesn't necessarily have to be a UN led mission and it needs to have a significant Arab presence as a counterweight to the US/Israeli side that would be involved. I don't know if you noticed, but the US had far more success going after terror groups with targeted special forces operations and drone strikes than outright warfare on Iraq & Syria. Targeted and less sloppy strikes that actually do something to remove the source of extremism. Israel's making a strategic decision to choose to fight this fight as a conventional war. And they've ignored warnings from the US government "not to make the same mistakes we did in Iraq" in doing so - and just as the US found out in Iraq, turns out treating a civilian population as a hostile terrorist population doesn't really do a single thing to stem extremism and terrorism... I suspect Israel will find the same thing out. I suspect Israel already knows, but the leadership in Netanyahu and his little war tribunal, don't really give a fuck about the blowback from the war today. They just want to be seen as strong while simultaneously dragging out the war for as long as possible to cling to power. And it's not like Israel's incapable of precision special attacks - they made a robotic machine gun to kill a nuclear physicist in Iran that was accurate enough to kill their assassination target while simultaneously leaving his driver completely unharmed. Israel is 100% capable of actually fighting Hamas in a way that doesn't put the vast majority of Gazans in harms way. They are choosing not to for political reasons. And not political reasons that have any benefit to anyone other than Netanyahu and his coalition - just literally doing what they can to cling to power while playing with Israeli and Palestinian lives. Honestly, I think Europe generally has a lot to answer for when they decided Palestinian Arabs should pay for Europe's crimes against the Jewish people for hundreds of years. But it was such a horrifically miscalculated decision with no real thought as to the blowback that we'd be dealing with for decades that I do think Europe should generally be doing a hell of a lot more to stop the bloodshed, rather than just sit on the sidelines and refuse to condemn pretty blatant war crimes and human rights violations.

  19. Other part of the truth is Israel opposed the two nations solution themselfes and supported illegal Jewish settlements on the west bank both ideologically and financially. Surely you only forgot to mention these details. Also it's debattable, if a South African can rightfully call Israel their civilization regardless whether they're Jewish or not.

  20. A monumental week for @Rajabhat Rovers to extend his lead at the top with only 10 game-weeks remaining, although some of those are likely to have extra fixtures. A score of 25 means the lead over @Redcanuck and @6666 is 17 points. Those two overtook @Dan, who picked the wrong week to make a single-digit score of 7. @Bluewolf's score of 18 was very respectable, and that took him above @nawoo.

  28. Predictions - Saudi Arabia Grand Prix Should have got this done earlier in the week. Qualifying on Friday and race on Saturday again this weekend! Please note the changes to the Podium predictions (top three without Verstappen) and fill in the new match-ups which will replace the largely predictable team-mate match-ups in our season predictions! All other predictions remain as they were. @RandoEFC @Stan @MUFC @Tommy @nudge @Whiskey @The Palace Fan @Coma @DeadLinesman @OrangeKhrush Pole Position - Which driver will post the fastest lap in Q3? [INSERT DRIVER] Podium - Which drivers will finish the Grand Prix in the top three positions AFTER MAX VERSTAPPEN IS REMOVED FROM THE RESULTS? 1. [INSERT DRIVER] 2. [INSERT DRIVER] 3. [INSERT DRIVER] Random Driver - Predict the finishing position of this week's random driver, Charles Leclerc. [INSERT POSITION] Bonus Question - Which team will have the highest finishing position out of Williams, VCARB, Haas, Sauber and Alpine? [INSERT DRIVER] Extra Season Prediction - A more interesting set of match-up predictions to replace the team-mate battles where so many people have predicted almost the same combination. This is a question of who will finish higher in the Championship and not linked to the Saudi race specifically! Which driver will finish higher in the Drivers' standings of each of these combinations? Verstappen vs Perez Hamilton vs Leclerc Norris vs Alonso Sainz vs Russell Piastri vs Stroll Gasly vs Ocon Albon vs Tsunoda Bottas vs Hulkenberg Ricciardo vs Zhou Magnussen vs Sargeant

  33. Results - Bahrain Grand Prix Here we go then for the first race of the season, and it's a familiar story to start off as everyone correctly predicted a pole-win combo for Max Verstappen. With this looking likely going forward, please see my earlier post about how we'll change the top three predictions to a "top three without Verstappen" to make the predictions a bit more interesting. Pole position will be left alone for now. Unfortunately for @Stan, @nudge, @Whiskey and @Coma, this was where the scoring stopped as various combinations of Leclerc, Russell and Norris let them down. @MUFC managed to secure some further points as the only person to predict a Red Bull 1-2, while @RandoEFC and @The Palace Fan also bagged an extra 2 points for predicting Perez on the podium, albeit in the wrong place. @DeadLinesman and @OrangeKhrush join @MUFC on 10 points for getting 2 of the top three exactly correct, both placing Carlos Sainz correctly in 3rd. @Tommy scores 7 in total for the podium having predicted Sainz in 2nd. Onto the final two predictions and all of the points were hogged by @Tommy. He was the only one to nail Lewis Hamilton's finishing position of 7th with the rest of the field going too optimistic for the Mercedes driver. A better performance than expected for Haas scuppered a lot of people's prediction for 20th on the grid, and Logan Sargeant teased his backers by qualifying off the back row. Only @Tommy believed in the reports that Alpine could, unthinkably, have the worst car, so he hoovers up another 5 points for predicting 20th in qualifying for Pierre Gasly. The table looks like this after the first round: @Tommy takes an impressive early lead, with his gap ahead of 2nd place larger than the gap between @MUFC in 2nd and the four players in joint last place. Unsurprisingly, Red Bull therefore set the early pace in the Constructors' standings, while Ferrari start the season propping up the table as the only team with both drivers amongst the 10-pointers this weekend.

  38. It kind of feels like the story of the US Airman burning himself alive is being buried by the media. The guy was clearly mentally prepared for taking his life in a particularly unpleasant and painful way. He made a will and found someone to take care of his cat. It was clearly very deliberate and he says "Today, I'm planning to engage in an extreme act of protest against the genocide of the Palestinian people." I find it so strange that the public discourse on the topic contains so few voices that recognise the humanity of both Palestinians and Israelis and I find it tremendously disturbing that western governments find it all too easy to turn a blind eye to blatant war crimes and human rights violations. Israelis have the right to defend themselves, they don't have the right to commit war crimes. Palestinians have the right to exist and to have self-governance, they don't have the right to kill and capture civilians. But the media's burial of this story just seems like further complicity of the west sitting by as Israel fights the war in a pretty cowardly and inhumane fashion, despite having a clear advantage in military might. There have been more civilian deaths in Gaza in a few short months than there were at any year of the US led invasion and occupation of Iraq from 2003-2023. Indiscriminate airstrikes have been used despite the IDF knowing that over 61% of the people killed in these airstrikes are civilians. These aren't the actions of military leaders aiming to break the cycle of radicalisation in Gaza - they are the actions that view all people in Gaza, regardless of how young they might be, as extremist terrorists that are fair game to be killed.
