Right up there with the Jeffrey Epstein Purity Pledge.

Do not make plutonic friends, or any other trans-uranic friends for that matter. It won’t be good for you.

I daresay there’s a few people out there who might enjoy going into the sewers to manually remove the fatbergs, but probably not enough.

No Tinkaton?

Arguably Elon and PayPal, since that was a merger, but not Tesla, which he bought his way into ex post facto.

The kitchen, usually.

(They are traditionally English, I think, but we took them round the world that time we did a colonialism.)

That’s nice! I recently went to the British Wildlife Centre. I went into it thinking pine martens were the primary draw, but I went to the owl display and since then I have been a certified owl enjoyer. The long-eared owls were particularly majestic.

although I do think it’s odd you don’t know what animal you’d be … come on, you don’t have one in mind?

There are some animals that I like more than others, and if I were forced to pick a fursona I would probably pick one of those. But I don’t think that any of them particularly reflect me in any way.

Is yours just your favourite animal? Or is there something else behind your choice? Or do you feel perhaps that your favourite animal(s) do reflect something about you?

Yes officer, this one right here.

And also they both had stupid moustaches.

There is no such thing as a non-ideological political decision, and the only people who think there is are the people who have been so thoroughly indoctrinated in the prevailing ideology that they are incapable of seeing it as anything other than “common sense”.

Rivers of blood was Enoch Powell, a Conservative (plus ça change). Oswald Mosley was the leader of the British Union of Fascists.

I feel like whoever wrote the headline fucked it up, because the article reads more like that Visa/MasterCard payments are a 24 trillion problem, and wero is a potential solution.

Is this Lemmy’s “the cylinder must remain unharmed”?

The man peaked (!) last millennium with Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo.

When I read “nutritional hexes” I assumed this would be honeycomb related.

At last! We’ve found an ethical way to consume Nestlé products!

What’s your point exactly? Why the fuck are you talking about cops? The simple proposition being discussed is “it would be better if there were fewer guns”. I never said there should be a special exemption for cops. No one mentioned cops until you did.

Indeed so, but I think their true genius is as a tapa. They pair well with lager on a sunny day (which you’ll obviously be drinking a lot more of, because of the salt), and they beat the hell out of a packet of crisps.

A. This is obvious whataboutism. Yes, you are literally the ones sacrificing children. The fact that you are sacrificing less children doesn’t let you off the hook.

B. Cops in the UK don’t kill nearly so many children because most of the cops are unarmed. They are unarmed because mostly everyone is unarmed. Cops killing more children (not to mention everyone else) is literally a consequence of everyone having guns.

Come on my dude, if you think the dead kids are an acceptable cost, then just admit it. Even the right wing talking heads can do that.
