Nothing would change. For a start, PA doesn't control gaza so can't service it, and secondly israel and Egypt are both blockading Gaza. Independent Gaza would continue to have nothing.

I do recognise that a lot of it is probably just playing up for the joke, but I assume it has to come from somewhere. I regularly see posts where basically Person A sends an odd image/message, then follows up with "wrong number, sorry" and Person B responds with "wait stay".

Do Americans, as a rule, not save phone numbers? Or is it purely a bit that has become a trope?

I think we can take some solace from the fact that it took Spurs almost 100 minutes, two wrongly called off/onside calls, and an own goal, to beat 9 men.

If Motorsport Manager has taught me anything running at a £2,5m deficit per race is high but not abnormal

This is the correct take. Unfortunately, there seems to be an overwhelming sense of "fuck you, I got mine" amongst a lot of people meaning they'd rather kick other people down than get pushed up.

I'm not particularly a food prescriptivist, but this isn't aglio e olio. By all means crack on, but with prawns and tomatoes in it? Not a aglio e olio in my book.

Surely they can't legally hide allergens?

Oh absolutely, criticise the beliefs that don't make sense, and are tolerated. But pretty much everyone of most major faiths believe in science. There's the fundamentalists, who are extremely loud in their ignorance, but the majority of people aren't that.

I think doing those things when it's clear, is fine. As a queer person, when I catch my friends (usually inadvertently) say something queerphobic, I'll lean it and switch it to be critical of the cishet equivalent.

I think when it's clear, and when it's being used for a good reason, then there's no issue. You make a very good point about your child though. They don't usually get the nuances that an adult should.

I always call those people anti-theists, as opposed to atheists. The ones who almost have their lack of religion as a religion in itself and criticise (and let's be honest, demean) anyone with a faith.

By all means, criticise the church, and the structures, which harm people. Criticise the willfully misinterpreted doctrine. The religions themselves, people's beliefs? Leave them alone.

This entire comment is the perfect explanation for my issue with people getting excited over Black Friday/Prime Day. I see so many people every year excitedly saying (or at times bragging), oh I got this, I got that, and it was so cheap. But unless you were already looking at that thing you haven't saved money. You've actually spent more than you would have if it wasn't on sale.
