Normally have a lot of time for lorry drivers, but if you were driving the polish car transporter (WO...) in Lithuania this evening with a baby shit brown Range Rover on it, you caused a fucking accident by overtaking at 70kmh in a gravel stretch at 30kmh causing a car to have to brake suddenly

No, the problem is he had a lot of money/persuasion with grannies. Thinks that not beating your wife is something that makes children gay and wife should be a baby factory. That is before you get to the state seizure and corruption charges that he has/should have faced (Oligarch Tape/DTV)

It doesnt really mention all the "issues" that surround him and Šķēles or how often he is in Dubai or... or... I just hope that JV and Progressives get enough to be able to form a government and kick him and his "trade with Russia because my port is not making money" rhetoric gets kicked into ....

No, the rest of the world are able to process the fact that they are not limited to a single language nor exceptional on every basis so can build entire world views rather than parochial outcomes. And "you people" is such an elegant turn of phrase... enjoy othering do you?

Nitrogen asphyxiation is a very humane way of execution if you need it... the body keeps breathing and the oxygen starvation shuts down the brain relatively quickly but the US refused to use it because the victim may experience euphoria just before death.

Phinp @phinp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Michigan might be the first US state, San Marino's last execution was 1468 and Tuscany repealed it in 1786. Once the US government stops generalising about the other 8bn people on the planet, then we can discuss how we subdivide countries/states, sounds fair?

Also anyone on the livestream who said "go on do it", guilty of incitement? Police need to be smashing down doors. The livestream chat is the Action The intent is the fact that the dickhead was there, even if he didn't complete, it would still be S44 or S45 of SCA2007.

The biggest issue with all of these diagramming and notation languages is that they are impenetrable to outsiders. I spent weeks on a system architecture in ArchiMate but explaining hash line vs solid line with a solid diamond vs open arrow meant I had to bin it and redraw it using flowcharts
