Fair. It’s hard to know sometimes if someone has English as a first or second language. People can be really technically good, but then not understand more subtle cultural things.
Never know maybe both of our comments will help some people.
It’s common in English to refer to a collective like a company or government as though it were an individual. I think it’s just a simple short hand really.
Eg “The whitehouse said today…” We know that the whitehouse (a building) doesn’t have the power of speech and that really means “a whitehouse spokesperson working in an official capacity on behalf of the government said today”.
Really the headline should be something along the lines of “what, exactly, are Xbox business strategists thinking?” But because of the common knowledge of how this shorthand works they can just use the headline they did.
There’s probably a fancy linguistic name for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They’ll be on licence for the rest of their lives following that though. The minimum term on a life sentence is just the custodial part.

The strangest thing was when I learned that American teenagers bully the ones who have Android because they mess up with the iMessage chats. So weird.
FTFY. In the rest of the world no one uses either SMS or iMessage.
Put that on the side of a bus.
God’s sake the Tories are pathetic.
I got one this year and just can’t love it. It’s fine, but I definitely miss my pixel 5.
The Scottish, coat it in batter and put it in the deep fryer. Drink a bottle of Buckfast to accompany.
since you can’t recognise an obvious joke.
That clearly goes both ways.
Maybe we’ve both got too used to dealing with yanks on the internet.
I didn’t know it was a competition as to whose government shit the bed worse. I guess making it one has to do with the inferiority complex you get from knowing all your ancestors were criminals.
That first panel was extremely relatable as a Brit.
True. I and I understand pointing out the Tories as they’re in power. However by not pointing out that Labour are just as bad we run the risk of fooling ourselves that these kinds of infringements to our civil rights will go away if we get the Tories out.
You say that as though labour aren’t

Soulseek is my past, present and future.
He’s a Tory. I very much doubt he feels bad about the joke, more likely just feels bad that he got caught. Last month in parliament if you believe his accuser he called a constituency a shit hole and if you believe his defence he called a fellow MP a shit hole.
They’ve been available on the nightly release for ages. But it’s a bit of a pain to install them.
Not this shit again
