One of them calls me Betty.

“Cartel de los Soles” is not a verifiable organization but a slang term coined by Venezuelan media in the 1990s to describe corruption among individual military officials — not a structured cartel.

Same approach as they have done with Antifa - the notion that a descriptive term can be repurposed as a (non-existant) oppositional entity is perfect for people who want to scare their followers with bogeymen.

See also the absurd misusage of “woke” to encompass anything that isn’t hateful sexism, racism, etc.

Outrageous. Impeach him.

Only stupid and ill-informed Brits.

Unfortunately, that may be the majority of us.

I don’t think they were calling you the dimwit, definitely aimed at RFK I think.

This drives me up the wall, anywhere I encounter it. Bastards.

To add to that, it’s in Australia and AU$2200 is about U$1500 / £1100 / €1250.

Probably getting more attention because of similar incidents recently in Poland and Romania.

This is the story:

BBC News - Lucy Connolly released from prison after race hate post on X - BBC News

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yl7p4l11po?app-referrer=search

She’s since become a bit of a cause celebre for the hard of thinking right wing establishment.

EDIT

Because that story doesn’t have it, here’s more context and what she said:

In July last year, prompted by a false rumour that an illegal immigrant was responsible for the murder of three girls at a dance workshop in Southport, Connolly posted online calling for “mass deportation now”, adding “set fire to all the… hotels [housing asylum seekers]… for all I care”.

Connolly, then a 41-year-old Northampton childminder, added: “If that makes me racist, so be it.”

EDIT 2 - in fact, her exact words were this:

“Mass deportation now, set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards for all I care … if that makes me racist so be it.”

At the time she had about 9,000 followers on X. Her message was reposted 940 times and viewed 310,000 times, before she deleted it three and a half hours later.

In October she was jailed after admitting inciting racial hatred.

Agreed. Also, she pled guilty.

Is any of that because what would have been half their worth 15 years ago is now less than half of what it would be?

Like, if someone had 100 billion in 2010, and did give away 50 billion in that time, but also made a further 20 billion in that time, did they give away half their worth or not?

I’ve not read the article, so maybe that question is answered in there.

Who?

I guess it’s a matter of taste - I find a menu that tall, with gaps that large between the items, harder to read than a more compact presentation of the same info.

Either way though, it doesn’t seem like that was the issue, so not to worry!

Don’t think OP is complaining about the number of options so much as how they are presented.

That menu looks much taller than it needs to be, the spacing between lines is huge, and the icons are unnecessarily big too.

Might not be what OP meant, but that’s how I read it.

EDIT - upon reading down the thread, it looks like it IS the number of options, my bad, sorry.

There’s always a tweet:

Possibly yeah. Although these are villages you’d drive through in about 5 seconds, so no matter where the pin is put it’s not going to be 2 miles different. Maybe it’s starting in a different place though, that might do it. Cheers, will check that out.

To annoy the sort of people who don’t help at all with a question, but immediately query some other non-pertinent aspect of it.

Good idea, but I’ve tried overlaying closer zoomed in screengrabs and the routes appear to be absolutely identical! So weird.
