I'll just wait until they either drop the price, or it comes onto Prime. I've waited this long.

yeah, i've seen that argument from them, but it was the same situation with DVD's and you could buy them cheaper than you can rent this.

ICE are a bunch of cunts. Every single one of them who does something like this needs to be prosecuted.

Oh dear. A woman, and even worse, a woman with brown skin... That's going to have the insane orange narcissist chewing the carpet! I'd hate to be the poor sod who has to tell him! 🤣 Very sincere congratulations to Ms Pillay 👏👏👏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...

You have Huguenot ancestors too? My old man always thought we had Spanish ancestors.... he was devastated when he found out they were actually French. 😂

I just tried this out here in Austria and it works for me too. It only shows the petrol price and not diesel though.

The law, especially in America, applies to those without money. People like Trump will always be above the law.

The next two weeks are going to be very busy for me, so naturally i've woken up with a scratchy throat and aching limbs today.

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

I've got my fingers crossed for the midterms, but i'm also worried what happens when he loses. He'll never accept the result.

They're going to live stream a bloody execution? America has truly lost whatever moral compass it ever had and has become a cruel and barbaric land. I bet you anything they'll find ways to monetise it : pay per view, ads, kid rock pre show? Fucking ghouls.

Apparently the Welsh invented the condom in the 1200's by using a sheep's intestine. The British then perfected it a few hundred years later by taking it out of the sheep first.

No, replacing American workers with foreign workers is called Capitalism.... doing everything you can to make a quick buck regardless of the human cost.

We support local shops and suppliers as much as we can. And i make a point never to use the self checkout tills. Making customers unpaid workers was the biggest con these shops played on people.
