Right but the claim predates Argentina’s existence.
The only way Argentina has legitimate claim to the island would be if Spain still maintained the claim to the island at the time Argentina became independent and even then they would have to have to cead the Falkland Islands to Argentina. Which of course never happened.
Well the islands are settled now and they’re settled by people who think they’re British so I can’t really see how you can functionally come to the conclusion that there is any mystery.
Argentina’s claim to the islands seems to be their they are sort of close to Argentina, although far enough out to be an international waters and there was once a Spanish settlement there back before Argentina existed as a country. By the time Argentina became its own country the Spanish settlement was no longer in existence.
So from most of human history the islands were uninhabited or only sporadically inhabited and we’re talking the level of driftwood huts here, no permanent structures. If anyone had any legitimate claim to the island it would be Spain they were the first to build proper buildings on the islands, at least they had a settlement there until they abandoned it, but then they quite happily sold the rights to the land to the British.
It would be wild if the left could actually be as radical as they claim. America might not be so screwed up if they were.
That’s much more wholesome. It’s just all the puppeteers holding hands while wearing Muppet gloves.
Well they keep making Godzilla movies. I think I could watch a Muppet Godzilla movie.
Yeah. We need more TOWIE accents in the chamber. If only for the entertainment value.
Hopefully it’s not spliced with frog DNA for no godly reason. I was rewatching Jurassic park last night and it really is a truly stupid plot point that absolutely could have fixed with 30 seconds worth of thought.
It actually has quite a few plot holes, we tend to gloss over them because it’s otherwise such a good movie but there are aspects that really don’t make sense, everyone tends to fixate on the third one but the first one has issues too.
It literally just throw things in my garden, and other than an occasional watering that’s all I do, everything grows huge. There must be something in the soil.
I used to work for a company did a lot of commercial work for the US government and the amount of vetting was ridiculous, every decision no matter how minor had to go through mountains of red tape. The Trump administration has gone in the other direction. I think a balance could have been found between too much micromanaging and no managing at all. The whole reflecting pool saga would not have happened had they hired a competent contractor to begin with.
Assuming they could spell it.
It often feels like the US just considers owning a gun to be the default position in life. Gun reform doesn’t require banning of guns it’s simply requires the implementation of laws that most people would assume were already in existence, I.e. the most basic of background checks.
No it isn’t. There’s plenty of safe anti-nausea medication on the market why would they use something like this that would cause birth defects?
Also as far as I’m aware preventing nausea isn’t even one of its effects. When are you getting this information from?
I thought they were already banned don’t they ID when you buy energy drinks?
I bought one energy drink once in my 30s and felt terrible afterwards, I have no idea why people buy these things. Just have a cup of tea or coffee. But yeah don’t be giving them to little kids, they’re annoying enough as it is
The trolley problem is one of those philosophical questions where you’re not supposed to actually think about it in the context of a real world situation. Because the obvious solution to the trolley problem is to yell “look out for the speeding trolley, why you standing still in the road you idiot?”
But generally they don’t accept that answer.
I’m convinced that one of the main reasons that people don’t really like philosophy is because it’s full of got you trick questions like that
Yeah because the reason I’m not having it off with roadkill is due to my religion.
They just fired a shotgun at a map in order to pick those countries didn’t they.
Should we ask the US’s largest allies what they think of the US? Now who cares about, that let’s go ask Peru.
I might want to use that knife later. If I wash it first then I’m going to feel very silly having wasted all that washing up.
The only caveat to this is that I have known people who when they receive a no as a response to a question instantly fly into rage.
Them: have you done the dishes
Me: No, because I have not yet had time to…
Them: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Sometimes it’s easier, especially if they can’t immediately verify, to just lie knowing thwt by the time they get around to checking, you will have done it.
I’ve had bosses that are like that.
Is this a reference to something that I don’t get?
Proximity matters but only up to a point. The Islands aren’t that close to Argentina, I can’t remember what the exact limit is but under international law islands along to the country whose coastline is closest to them up to a distance of 10 nautical miles as long as there is no claim already in place. Of course that’s an international treaty which historically didn’t necessarily count, which is why you’ve got things like American Samoa and Hawaii.
