They are just so deserving of disdain. They are responsible for many of the world’s problems, modern genocides, and they worship inbred assholes who steal from them. Then these chuckle fucks, in a classic Euro trash racist move, decide that all of their problems were the fault of “outsiders” and removed their island, devoid of resources and opportunity, from a larger economic block in an attempt to return to their inbreeding practice to its glory days. Really, what positive impact or contribution have they ever made? They should be roasted at every opportunity.
Yeah, what have the English ever done for us?
Apart from the steam engine, World Wide Web, etc etc.
Britanes Eunt Domus
I don’t know if claiming an invention that was the work of many overtime and a web browser makes up for plundering and enslaving much of the world.
All the other countries killing and enslaving all around the world: “we should have done inventions too?”
No one ever said it did make up for it, I was just answering the question you asked.
Disdain for an entire country of diverse people based on the (stupid, bad) actions of the minority in power is a bit much…
Except they worship those “minority” of people. Look at how proud those morons were of standing in an hours long line to honor a piece of shit like queen Elizabeth dos.
Again, a few thousand people out of 80 million queued up to grope ol’ Liz.
Judging by your spelling of “honour”, 30% of your population voted for a rapist criminal to be their president lmao
Don’t get it twisted, I don’t think very highly of my country either.
I wouldn’t think highly of a population that actively accepts and supports modern terrorism either
Reminder that there was never an actual majority for Brexit, let alone the hard brexit that we ended up with, and our politicians continue to pander to a minors of extremely hateful right wingers for reasons that escape the majority of the population.
52% isn’t a majority?
People did not think it was in danger of passing so they didn’t go vote. Others pretty immediately said they had voted exit as a protest and because, again, they didn’t think it would pass and it was non-binding.
Polling made it pretty quickly clear the vote was a fluke. But they ran with it like a mandate from a super majority. Even as it became even less popular through the years it took to negotiate Brexit, when they could have cancelled it at any time.
We pioneered the Industrial Revolution, invented pretty much all the best sports, and now we’re pioneering post-capitalist collapse too.
Like I said, responsible for many of the worlds problems.
Really, what positive impact or contribution have they ever made?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_innovations_and_discoveries
I don’t how that demonstrates a positive impact or contribution to the world. Look at the state of most of people they plundered for centuries, they don’t seem to be benefiting much from that list.
They are responsible for many of the world’s problems, modern genocides, and they worship inbred assholes who steal from them.
But enough about Americans!
It really could apply to damn near any Western European country or country run by the descendants of its colonizers. Imagine that.
So many downvotes…I thought taking the piss was a British national sport? Or is that still just fox “hunting”…
Lol this meme is bad and so is ur view on the situation keep being a Marxist stooge
No shade on tea drinkers; but I prefer coffee. Iced. With cream and sugar. Yum.
Tea; if that’s what you prefer, should be iced and sweetened to taste; unless you live above a certain latitude or are experiencing weather that is no warmer than (10 Celsius/50 Fahrenheit/283.15 Kelvin/509.67 Rankine/8 Réaumur/12.75 Rømer) in an 8 to 24 hour period
Said like a true “never had good tea in their life” individual.
That’s cuz tea is shit.
Ok I’ll bite, I’ve had Brit coworkers try to draw me into their tea cult with Yorkshire tea which they “promised” me was like crack in a cup.
Note before you say I didn’t make it right I have an electric tea kettle with options for all tea types and I steep things like black tea for 4 minutes as is recommended.
It was… ok, not worth the bother if I’m honest. I’ll stick to matcha or Japanese green tea personally.
But I will yeet any British tea into the nearest harbor out of spite to being told tea is the best beverage ever.
I think people are overselling it. Typical British tea isn’t amazing and it isn’t trying to be. It’s more like a simple slice of bread and butter when you’re feeling peckish but there’s nothing else to eat. It just hits the spot. Once you’ve acquired the taste, you experience it differently. Spend an hour walking home in the rain, get home and change into your jammies, then curl up on the sofa with a nice cuppa. Then it’s amazing.
Y’all are having black tea right before bed? That explains so much about the cognitive state that lead to Brexit.
Lead would also explain it.
I am sorry… They gave you Yorkshire tea and expected you to be impressed? Please tell me you are joking.
In Canadian equivalent it’s like trying to take a foreigner to Tim Hortons. Just because it’s the historical cheap swill choice of the masses one participates in out of habit doesn’t mean it is objectively good.
Yes and not joking. They were from Leeds if that matters but even if it’s the timmies of black tea they’re the ones to blame. I tried I mean I love jasmine tea and green teas and black teas it’s just tea though not a cult.
It wasn’t bad just if I can invoke a phrase from my grandma it’s acceptable.
Yorkshire tea is one of the best mass market teas you can find.
Yeah, but if you are trying to actually impress someone it’s not where you start. I buy Yorkshire when I am hard up for cash because I am already addicted to black tea and it’s ridiculously cheap but in the realm of tea in general it’s equivalent to the same supermarket coffees.
If you actually want to hook someone you give them the good stuff first to show them the experience to aspire. If it’s coffee go to a roaster, buy whole bean, grind it yourself before brew and use good technique in prep or go to a shop that knows their shit to do it all for you. If it’s tea go and spring for a loose leaf properly sealed, pay attention to steep time and ideal water temp. You want to see their eyes shine when they take their first sip with the realization of a new word opening up.
Give it like a few years and they’ll drink Yorkshire of their own volition. If you didn’t grow up with tea as a nostalgia you got to traverse a barrier and create a memory they want to relive in another way.
Actually having to search out specially selected obscure teas, relatively expensive equipment and follow stringent instructions on how to correctly prepare something will put most people off.
If someone wants to learn to play the guitar you don’t go out and spend 1000s on a top of the range guitar and amp and pay Dave Grohl to give you lessons. You get a beginner level rig and see if you like it first, then graduate onto refining.
To be honest, Yorkshire Gold is probably the best black tea you can get in US grocery stores. I have some kind of weird tannin sensitivity that causes it and most grocery store black teas to be painfully bitter, but it’s a nice “try this and see what you think” tea.
I prefer loose-leaf tea as well. I can’t tell whether I prefer a sweet and relaxing cup of silver needle or a whiskey-strength brew of gyokuro. Genmaicha with matcha dust during a work day is a great little escape, and you can’t go wrong with a big-leaf Chinese black tea.
Ironically, the Brits conquered the world only to shut themselves out of every culture they could have learned from.
Irish blends tend to be better, IMO. Better yet, a good Yunnan black or pu ehr. Must Yunnan blacks that I’ve tried so far even stand up to milk quite well.
If you’ve a recommendation shoot your shot I’m willing to try it. I do refuse to steep black tea for a minute like they said, tastes like piss at that point and my tea ducky infuser gives me the look of disapproval.
Happy to make some recommendations. What flavors do you like and are you attached to tea bag/infuser or are you interested in gong fu/multi-infusion?
Jasmine, green and black generally are my go tos. I’m only attached to the tea ducky infuser just so I can sing the rubber ducky song while it infuses tea if I’m honest. I’ve no clue what the latter words mean if I’m honest. I’m a simple man, drip coffee and loose leaf tea or bags is fine by me.
Contains grogu, minions level post, therefore bad
sips iced tea
WTF is going on in UK anyway? People really that big mad over not electing fascists?!
IIRC it started when some Brits targeted an immigrant recently with their racism only for oops no they were born in England and just brown. I don’t know the details though, I live in America - the cops do that shit here, but only on days ending with “y.”
Decades of economic stagnation and eroded public services have exacerbated long running discontent among less well off people mainly in the north and Midlands who feel left behind by “metropolitan elites” in London and the south.
Populist figures like Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson have landed on the traditional scapegoat of foreigners and whipped up tensions for years.
A brown person with obvious mental health issues has committed a horrendous act and these same people have used it as an excuse to loot shops, throw bricks at police and spray paint “p**is go home”. Abetted by news that the prison system is full and they’re releasing prisoners early to help deal with the overcrowding.
Anti racism protesters then showed up last night in huge numbers and along with a clear police presence and evidence of swift and strict sentences for the few people who have been identified meant that the latest round of pro fascist marches were abandoned and the nazis have gone back to hiding in their caves.
Spray paint what?
Penis go home? Paris?
I assume it is the racial slur originally directed at Pakistanis but is now used against all brown people because racists can’t tell the difference. Not that it would make a difference if they could. Racists gonna racist.
Paki is short for “Pakistani” and is a slur people use to describe middle easterners. Note that if you look at a map Pakistan is not located in the Middle East. People who use the term also assume that all brown people practice Islam.
Ah. So they’ve become America. The circle is now complete!
Pretty much dead on but the offender was a native born black 17 year old who is reported to have been very religious and a regular attendee at a church local to them.
The far right made out that they were a brown, Muslim asylum seeker.
That all started from one news outlet in the US that quickly shut it down but the far right ran with it like a baton at the Olympics.
BBC did a great BBC verify article on it.
Thats wild, thanks!
No worries. Yeah the article is great. They did go to some lengths to try to get to the bottom of it in fairness. Those BBC Verify articles are always absolutely spot on.
So basically, a few kids got stabbed while attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance lesson (IIRC) and people started spreading rumors in Twitter that the attacker was Muslim. Nazis started rioting about it and kept doing it even after it was revealed that the attacker was not even a Muslim.
Apparently the police and anti-racist protestors have managed to calm the riots down now.
I thought the rumor was he was a refugee, and the true part is that he was Muslim?
If you pay attention to the footage, the riots are tiny. I think the biggest was around 100 people.
We finally managed to kick the right wing theives out, and some people are less than happy. They managed to rial a few idiots up, and the media have lapped it up.
Burger people throwing shade at our Tea people. Ts ts.
Bratwurst and Baguette people have had their own share of tantrums, but we get along now.
No excuse for recent BS of some Tea people though.
Do you want to end up in the harbor? Because that’s how you end up in the harbor.
That depends, is that where all the tea is?
I mean harbour water is pretty a better drink then that burnt bean juice you guys drink
Tea is just leaf coffee.
You make coffee out of leaves.
The actions of my fellow countrymen do not represent us as a whole. Instead of Tea people, please refer to them as Lager and Betting Shop people. Thank you 🙏
Lager people and Betting Shop people are not necessarily bad, refer to the racists currently rioting as Fascists.
We appreciate you baby USA. Making fun of european nations is the favorite passtime of europe :D
I will stick to water and healthy food
I just don’t really understand the desire to drink bitter things in general. Alcohol, tea, and coffee all fall under this. “It’s an acquired taste” is the same as “you just have to gaslight yourself into enjoying it.”
I’ve liked bitter tastes since a very young age. I think it may have started as a fascination. Like “Wow, nothing else tastes like this, this is crazy.” But yeah, bitter good. Love it, always have. There are plenty of us that needed no gaslighting.
I was gonna say I really enjoy tea, but then realized that my fruit tea with plenty of sugar probably doesn’t fit the description xD
Yea, bitterness it a weird taste, I don’t mind a hint of it, that can be interesting, but straight up bitter drinks are yuk!
I’ve always liked tea and coffee, since I’ve first tried it as a kid. It was not an acquired taste for me at all. Without sugar or milk or anything else. I don’t understand the opposite, why do people fill stuff with sugar.
Alcohol, however, has been more of an acquired taste and in my 40s I still don’t enjoy it that much.
“It’s an acquired taste” is the same as “you just have to gaslight yourself into enjoying it.”
I think there’s some legitimacy to “You have to get over the shock of a very novel-tasting or feeling food before you can really figure out if you like it”, but yeah, I suspect that about a lot of acquired tastes.
Jokes on you, tea is delicious. It really helps distract from the societal and economic collapse.
It really helps distract from the societal and economic collapse.
Stop, you’re making me want tea
Make it in a warm mug with boiling water please.
You have been banned from the southern US.
The vodka helps too.
I used to be a lettuce on top of patty kind of guy before I realized how lettuce on the bottom preserves the structural integrity of the bottom bun and makes for a much more enjoyable burger experience.
Every other page is a dick picture.
Regardless, this restructuring of burger engineering opens up some new thinking. The longstanding dilemma, of course, is how one prevents the slipperiness caused by tomato slices.
Unless it’s a tomato fresh from a garden, like I’m talking about still warm from the sun, then it doesn’t belong on a burger.
If you have a fresh tomato, it’s hard to beat a BLT to showcase the freshness of the tomato. Aside from just eating it sliced with a pinch of sea salt, of course.
Put it on a bagel with some cream cheese and fresh basil? Cracked pepper if you like?
Plus a little fresh cracked pep.
I fucking hate Canadians.
I like your style.
Why not just on a sandwich, with a little mayo, salt, and pepper? Or a homemade biscuit or scone?
A BLT is a sandwich with bacon lettuce tomato (and mayo if you like). You get the saltiness from the bacon.
I’m not sure if I’d put tomato on what I’d call a biscuit though. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/southern-biscuits-recipe-2041990. I’m curious about what you have in mind.
My parents had grape tomato bushes growing in the backyard that my older sister and I would pick off the vine growing up. Divine. I enjoy a burger that warrants a slice, but have yet to devise a means to reasonably contain it. As Celebrity Jeopardy Sean Connery said “Failing to do so is my greatest regret.”
A fresh tomato is squishy, not slippery like a mealy store ripen piece of shit so it contains itself.
My grandma had an apricot tree. I have never tasted an apricot as good as the ones that came from that tree.
Grown with love and dowsed in those tasty old school pesticides! Gives em a kick!
Curious how lettuce, full of water, protects the structural integrity of the bottom part of the bun? I’m not saying it doesn’t, rather that it seems counterintuitive.
It is just a water barrier. So anything water/wet can not get to the bun. But you need some adhesion layer, like sometime sticky below and above, perhaps with sharp edges from crunchy onions to really lock the layer in place. Then build up more layers.
I’ll try that, next time, thanks!
Go on.
They’re all mine but the lighting is creative and sometimes I put a hat on it.
