i had the goat brain soup when i was in cyprus last february, my turkish cypriot friend told me it's mandatory to eat after drinking a lot of alcohol and you will wake up without a hangover the next day. didn't work unfortunately. mad to see all the turks slurping it down in the middle of the night like it's the tastiest delicacy in the world.
I suppose this could work by triggering a massive bout of vomiting?

was it the hot peppered version, cuss I doubt the cypriots can make it properly. Even most of the mainlanders can't. you need to go adana/urfa/gaziantep way.

if somone had told me hitler had secretly funded a scientific research on nazi cyborgs that could be programmed to run a specific program in the future and this woman would be it i would have believed it.

Filing this next to the time John Eden compared the EU to the Third Reich.

somewhere on the left, but i don't like any of the left european parties.
Well that's what I thought, but does it not strike you as odd that you seem to agree much more often than you disagree with someone who believes, among other things, that Israel has the right to kill everyone in Gaza while a single Hamas militant remains alive and hasn't surrendered?

you mean mixed biscuits? well yeh you will find yourself agreeing sometimes with people from different political positions but mostly it's because of different motivations and reasons. it's very well possible to criticise the european union from a leftist position, or to criticise the covid lockdowns from a leftist position. in fact, i feel like especially the left should, but they don't and that's one of the reasons i don't care about much of them.

Maybe it's different for someone not in the UK, I dunno. But comparing the EU to Nazi Germany has been a favourite bit of rhetoric for politicians and journalists here who are themselves on the hard (or far) right for decades. The campaigns to leave the EU, especially the one led by Nigel Farage and his lot, focused overwhelmingly on immigration, and particularly immigration by Muslims, despite the fact that Muslims are generally not coming here from Poland and Romania. But they made a huge deal out of Turkey's supposedly imminent joining of the EU, which oddly enough still hasn't happened in the eight years since the referendum and shows no sign of happening any time soon. Predictably, there was a big rise in hate crimes against immigrants in the run-up to the referendum and its aftermath, regardless of whether they were from EU countries or not.

As far as us "dodging a bullet" goes, nothing has got better here since 2016 and a load of things have got measurably worse. The shortage of doctors, nurses and carers, which was already bad, has got a lot worse, and since we're no longer covered by EU environmental regulations there is barely a single major river here that isn't choked with farm effluent and human shit.

So the idea that any "left-wing" person could look at this and say "This is a good policy and I'm glad it's happened" strikes me as completely fucking insane.

Then again I suppose there are "left-wing" people who think Putin is a force for world peace.
