  Fair enough, I take your points too. Take it easy, enjoy the GOT, I enjoyed the philosophical wrangling

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not asking to be rich.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  By that logic:

  1. Isolation is not freedom
  2. Freedom (includes¹) the ability to mingle with other societies. But whilst you are in the company of other societies, you are bound by their social constructs (rules,laws). So you aren’t free, except of course you’re free to leave. In which case, see (1).

  ¹ The use of the word “includes” implies other examples exist. What are they?

  Android User here. Never owned any Apple device.

  But they’re fucking good quality. Anyone can see that. So what’s the problem?

  I like Android 'cos I like dicking about with it. Some people don’t want to dick about with their phones, they want to do other stuff that could be more interesting.

  I don’t think anything can.

  I think the only way to experience true freedom would be to live, alone, on an unrecognised island, or in a space capsule.

  The moment you encountered another person, you’d need to establish rules so you could co-exist in peace. No theft, for example.

  At which point you aren’t free.

  For all fallen, from any conflict, from any side.

  They gave their lives.

  Money buys liberty. Choices buy happiness. If you have more money, you have more choices available to you.

  If money bought happiness there would be no sad rich people, but there are plenty of them.

  Yorkshire here. Get a train on the east coast mainline to Leeds (they’re hourly) and increase your sample size to include Northern accents this improving the quality of your report from “being south of Watford”.

  58 Gen X Brit here. Even I know the correct response. It was a popular tune.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Is Britain Retreating from Global Leadership on Climate Action?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Brexit + economic carnage + small country with little heavy industry -> please let us sit one round out to dig our way out of that fucking economic shambles and then we’ll be right back on the Climate train handing out HS2 lanyards.

  He’s bound to read it here. What better place to write it.

  My friend does not use platforms like this. I know him better than you do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just 9% of British voters think Brexit has gone well, poll finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in my late fifties, and my best friend who regularly takes me hiking (he’s ex-Coldstream Guards) is a Brexiteer and I’m a Remainer.

  We meet maybe once every couple of months, and it’s always the first thing he wants to talk about - he’s firmly in the “this is not the Brexit I voted for” camp.

  I don’t want to bad mouth him because he’s my dearest of friends but give it a rest mate. I want talk about who’s playing at our local dive bar next week, I’m not bothered about Brexit any more.
