Considering how they’re trying to age-check the entire internet now, it very well could be “masturbation exit”
See you, honey. I'll be in France, masturbating.

In any case, Microsoft is so deeply entrenched in state digital infrastructure that it seems a practical impossibility to do anything about it. The company has a good 20 years' lead on its competition in bending the ears and getting its feet under the desktops of enterprise and state decision makers. While the UK government has had spasms of promoting open source — most recently in 2017 — these have seen little enthusiasm and less adoption. As SODGR notes, UK state IT lacks co-ordination, leadership, funding, talent and executive influence. 55 percent of personnel budget goes on outside contractors, analysts and consultants rather than full-time staff…
This might seem hyperbole, but the facts are indisputable. The US is not trustworthy - Trump's tariffs break existing World Trade Organization-governed treaties, a cornerstone of international regulation. Likewise, Trump supports the removal of regulatory or legal barriers to AI development, so what would happen if the AI lobby asked for access to national data from outside the US? SODGR is silent on this, because it seemed fantastical even six months ago. It doesn't seem fantastical now.
Come back Acorn, you're needed!

As an American, I’m astonished to see how reliant upon us foreign governments had allowed themselves to become. Nobody noticed that this constituted a major security threat? I’m very sorry that current American regime is what it took, but at least it’s not all bad. This is a wake-up call for the U.K. and all of Europe.
The extremists have been in charge of the UK for a long time and they have walked in lockstep with the republicans so it's not that surprising they allowed such a stupid state of affairs to continue. They don't actually care about the country that they claim to represent, they were simply interested in how it could benefit them.
All Microsoft had to do was throw them a few incentives.

I'm trying to imagine the dinner hybrid dishes. Like you mix mexican flavors with british foods.......and I can't come up with anything besides spicy fish.
I have nothing against britain, but, c'mon. Nobody is going there for the food.
Sure you do. You go there for the Indian food and the Thai food and we have a Burmese place we go to each time we're in London.
And sure, might get some bangers and a pie while we're there.

HEHE asking the real questions. I think it would be a lot of dicey over cooked vegetables.

I also think the UK should get out of Mexico.

Even worse in military gear like jets you can remote disable.

This is false, but being denied spare parts is a concern for any arms importer

Me after 4 Doritos locos tacos and a cheez-it crunch wrap.
“time for an emergency mexit”

Spiced roasted meats, pasties and pies with spicy meat fillings, probably a bunch of seafood stuff, you could probably make blackcurrant in a salsa work depending on what you're pairing it with. Beans are an obvious one too.
And tbh, there's loads of great British food. Roasted meats, soups, casseroles, pastries, deserts, etc. That meme needs to die. It's about as accurate as France always surrenders. They're both WW2 era stereotypes that don't make sense outside of that time period. It's especially hilarious seeing it regurgitated by people from a country who eat "cheese" sprayed from a can.

The USA has been the "big brother" for pretty much all of NATO to listen to since the Marshall plan...
Just look how the EU cowed to your gov's tarif demands recently.

I've been telling this to people for years and for years I got laughed at as if I was a tinfoil hat guy
Now people come to me with "did you know this??? Why didn't you tell me this?" and all I can do is blink incessantly to not strangle them right there and then
