@Jimmer-jammer I would like to extend the same thanks to you. Very rare you can have a debate like this on this topic (especially online). I'm sure I've ended up on many people's block list for simply having my opinion but I thank you for engaging calmly and respectfully.
Enjoy your weekend.

@Jimmer-jammer@The_Moose Well done both. This could have easily got heated and out of hand, so it's great a civilised discussion can still be had on such a sensitive subject. 🙌
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@Thrillho What do you think of us winning the test series against NZ then? I reckon Stokes and McCullum are capable of turning red-ball cricket around for England. What do you think?

@TheBrandedSwordsman Its been a pretty amazing series really. It’s a very high risk strategy they’re going for that has paid off here but if that’s how they’ll always play, there’s going to be some spectacular crash and burns at some point!
England look to have found another cracking pair of bowlers in Potts and Overton too and it’s mad that they might not even get a look in with our fully fit squad!
@ThereThere I started a Pushsq cricket thread, it may still exist on here somewhere, you can search for it if you want, but I abandoned it in favour of talking about it in here as people were making jokes about the actual insects (crickets) and so forth! Oh well.

@ThereThere Feel free to post in there, if I can remember, i'll post something about the upcoming 5th India test in there. It was indeed a brilliant end, complete whitewash.

Well that God of War article is utterly repugnant. I don’t get ‘fans’. Although given the subject matter it’s probably more accurate to say I don’t get ‘men’.
These social media companies have both the finances and resources to stamp down on this sort of behaviour. The technology to block this at the source already exists. But it's pretty obvious they couldn't care less. If it doesn't give them additional profit, it's not worth discussing.
@Kairu@JudgeDredd I think they are fairly recent in the UK, and i have one really close to my work (and therefore where I live too). And I just found out they are doing Reece's flavoured milkshake! 😋
It is more expensive than a Muccy D's, but I feel it is worth it.
