Is it close to the book? I finished reading it in November 2019 and immediately started hearing about a virus in China....
Surely this would be an absolute intelligence clusterfuck for the US if the entire CIA staff just... left.
Yeah I think this is it.
Must be just an American thing? I never hear anyone say it here!
Also, could you be on of Lemmy's oldest users?!
Nope, it's just by accident. Must be a certain demographic that seems to have fallen into the habit of saying it as I never hear people use "on" in real life.
I think they're calling you out on saying "on accident" rather than "by accident"
Yup. There's a new massive LED advertising board on the approach to a busy roundabout near me. It's a huge distraction, so bright that even the sun would have to squint.
It doesn't look too bad there, but when it's dark it's a pain in the ar....eyes.

Congratulations! How bad was the hazing process?
What makes them think they're American? I don't see any guns or medical bills piled up?
Treasure Island Dizzy only had a single life. One of my earliest memories is of my sister losing her shit as she accidentally dropped the snorkel while she was cycling through her inventory underwater.
Probably about 6 to 8. Poached eggs on toast drizzled with sriracha and baked beans with a dollop of chipotle paste is my go to lunch.

I kind of want to know what the hell his meals look like to get through that much. We probably go through about 300g of butter a week, as a family of 4.

I think it's just the colours for the peertube one. I like that it's three individual play icons to signify the federation aspect, but the colours are just dull.
Maybe it's how it's prounced in Received Pronunciation (RP), I'm sure the British media is rife with those types.

The chancellor announces wide-ranging plans to get the UK's sluggish economy moving.

Let's be honest, this wouldnt happen. Ideally the base would close and basically have an entirely new village built on it, flooding the local market with available properties that helps reduce the cost of housing - an abundance of supply over demand.
That said, the locals might have mixed feelings as US airmen will likely contribute to the local economy in some way.

New mods, slight rule change!
Hello casualuk'ers!
It seems like the sole mod of this community has been busy with life for some time and the admins have asked if anyone would like to volunteer to help out, so myself and @[email protected] have offered a hand.
We believe the core vibe of the community should be fun, relaxed, safe, and obviously, casual! Therefore we have made a minor ammendment to the rules, adding a "No Politics" rule. There's a lot of political communities across the fediverse and so we feel it would be great for people to have a space where the focus isn't politics, but just to have a bit of fun.
If you've got some great UK based political content or memes to share, then the following communities might be more suitable:
