Yep! The observable universe has an edge we’re fairly confident about. Though while it is absolutely “expanding”, unfortunately, space around it is also expanding, so the universe is getting bigger in size, but we don’t think we’re gaining any new mass or exciting celestial objects. Everything’s just getting further away…

Maybe it’s because all popular media is corporatised grey goo now, whereas in the time of thelonelyisland, there was still minor room for internet creativity to be slightly different than very generic.

The ICC reply (though I like how they do try to reply genuinely and honestly) boils down to “but the palestinian government is/would be capitalist too, so…”

This is the very bad form of class reductionism, the idea that oppression/genocide/etc doesn’t matter and isn’t imperialism because it’s not fundamentally along class lines.

Sure thing, ICC, but I don’t think the people of Palestine are in any position to do any revolutions while under the iron thumb of the US and Israel. Nor do I think many people will view communist organisations positively if they sit by, ambivalent about genocide.

I assumed these were all meant to be like 14 year old kids, but Chunus and Jorch out here with their full beards really ruin that theory

To be honest, this is a very common occurrence in all UK schools up to ages ~13. I and at least 10 other students in my year group of ~150 were forced to wet ourselves in the middle of class because our requests to go to the bathroom were denied, not even by particularly ‘toxic’ or ‘mean’ teachers, it’s just a fairly normal attitude. I remember asking to go for like the fifth time, the teacher said “You can wait.”, and in response I showed her my piss-covered hand.

You’d think cleaning up all the piss would be enough to deter that policy, but apparently not.

It is child abuse though, and these really shitty attitudes to the needs of children are not spoken out against nearly as much as they should be.

But your honor, did you account for the fact that while I was murdering many innocents I said “Violence should stop!”??? I should be exonerated

We’re stuck in a very shitty choice of two: Someone who is actively doing genocide right now, and someone who will probably actively do genocide. Is the second just very slightly less shitty? I really don’t know, I guess.

Actively furthering genocide

“Grammar”

These things are equal in importance

Libs accept that voting may be vaguely useful, but is less than the bare minimum you should be doing to affect politics, they cannot beat this challenge.

Give them a break, they ‘pre-emptively’ defederated as a ‘last resort’ after asserting that they do in fact believe in . That’s how you know they’re not hypocrites.

Maybe we have different ideas of “giving grief”, but inquiring about where someone was does not amount to it in my mind.

Yes? But that doesn’t mean we can just assume random assertions.

Our marriage ended not long after, its demise not caused… by the transparency offered by a shared location

But nobody was doing that, in this case? There was no mention of ‘giving grief’.

The husband voluntarily shared his location for practical reasons, a few times she happened to see he was stopped at a bar or a fast-food place instead of work where he claimed, and that was a weird phenomenon that impacted her trust in him. She realised she was getting too obsessed looking at his location. They later divorced for entirely unrelated reasons.

This isn’t really that wacky.

The common line is that the shadow cabinet are just saying all the stuff and announcing far-right policies to appeal to the voter base. Once they get in power, THEN they’ll be real leftists, they proooomise

I thought rule one of anarcho-capitalism is that there is no minimum wage and companies can do what they want without regulation. How you suffer the consequence of a company exploiting exactly that and then claim ancapism is the solution is very confusing.

In fairness. Humans did specifically massively increase brain and skull size to fit all our smarts in, no?

Very smart engineer: Why don’t they just rebuild the bridge cheaply, safely and quickly lol? Also use rusty steel
