No agenda, just here to watch the fireworks as humanity dismantles everything we once held dear.

No I'm not.. At all! Maybe I'm the problem here and I've framed this entirely wrong, but my point is nothing to do with her message, which is of course legitimate and precisely where my compass points
My only issue is with the implementation of the plan, which is frankly fucking stupid

I'm doing a deeper dive into how the blockades work, and whether this kind of stunt makes any impactful change (other than stretching wallet books of the thoughts and prayers vultures) so I might have an entirely different opinion on this tomorrow
It's been enlightening!

I said none of those things.
But, they aren't at risk. You think that Israel would risk an international incident killing Greta Thunberg on a yacht, whose location is known by every naval civil authority in the world?
I'm not sure you know how maritime safety protocols operate.

I mean, the US still offers declawing in many states, which is basically chopping off your knuckles at the first joint to protect your furniture. or docking tails without real medical reason, ear pinning to make your staffie look more "alpha"
That shit needs calling out, no?

I commented out of care for animals that are unable to speak for themselves, and put across a case that might not be understood by all here - Animal care is very different across the world and I'm sure this person wants the best for their cat
If that makes me a "baddie" then have at it..

We then were honest with the property owners and said kick us out if you want.. our cats do less damage than kids.
We stayed there for 10 years as perfect tenants and got 100% of our deposit back because it was clean and cared for..
Cats aren't any problem at all!

We tried it once for about 5 minutes.. It was a horror show start to finish and I felt terrible for weeks after.
Put one on my boy because our place was strictly anti-pet, but as soon as you see it restricts how their claws retract, I felt awful.
I lost a LOT of blood that day, and for good reason

Damn I'd take a dial.. literally pulling in that "I Saw the TV Glow" 80's feel that I had as a kid, staying up late after my parent and brothers were asleep..
Cozy as fuck!

"iphone retro 47, with extra physical buttons for a $700 premium"
comment in response to
post
We will go back to physical buttons as a "progressive" feature I'm 100% sure
It will be seen as "retro" and the new thing to have, despite mechanical switches always having been superior to shitty software and crappy gadget haptics
Ask why keyboards never went digital and remain entirely mechanical

I've never experienced any author like Sanderson that can create an entire world "feeling" just by the people existing in the space he creates.
Every word and interaction drips in the mood he creates around it. Masterful!
Hope you enjoy :)

I have 6 cats. This happened to me at least 15 times today to the chorus of "Get out of my way you little cunt!"
I have an excuse though.. but I also wouldn't use the nuke codes wisely

Majestic as fuck!
For a sundowning near 80 year old who can't control his bladder, his bowels and tries to yank his old limp noodle to the times when he raped kids on Epsteins island..
I've heard facts no longer matter, so I'm intersecting truth with my reality here.

Not to be "that guy" but those caps are causing pain and distress
In that pose her claws would be 100% retracted, but because of the caps they cannot regress into the skin folds designed to hold her murder slicers
Cute to look at, but please consider removing them
Your furniture isn't THAT precious

Extremes are never really a good thing. Honesty lies somewhere in the middle.. Apply the bias tax and you get somewhere close to the objective truth
I apply a much smaller "tax" to BSky though, not because it satisfies my bias, but because the pool isn't so tainted

I think many R Wing people would agree.. the only people that want the disgusting rhetoric this rag creates are the ones spouting bile in their comments sections under articles...
The Sunday Sport at least had loads of tits.. this rag is just wall to wall cunts

Haha no worries :) I love the weird cross intersectional stuff of cultures!!
This was just a slam dunk because of how weird UK Viz is :D

If you mix pickle juice with shoe polish, microwave for 30 seconds, hey presto!

Still my favourite sentence ever to reach print media:
Viz Top Tips :
"Mix vinegar with shoe polish and microwave for 30 seconds.
Hey presto! Hot vinegary shoe polish!"
It's been 30 years and I still chuckle about this

Nice.. yes this is very differ to "my" Viz

Gotcha! Thanks for explaining
Yeah this isn't my bag at all.
Pay the fucking creators..
My line is organised profiteering or organised book burning. That's when my kind of Piracy hits the waves

See this is where cross generational intersection really butts up against each other... to me "Viz" is a 90's comic - and I can't help but link everything you say back to a clown being told "Fuck off you red nosed cunt" (as was one of the high brow sketches)
What is Viz in your lexicon?

I'm a high seas traveller from the olden times.. what is a scan site?
Are we talking places where copyrighted material is hosted?
If so, fuck people stealing from small creators.
Most of us ethical pirates are doing it for digital preservation rather than monetary gain

*descriptive... not possessive... Jesus now you probably think I'm a fucking shit AI for getting that simple thing wrong
I might think the same unless AI could be a mildly grumpy middle aged man with a terrible hangover... It hasn't reached that level yet.
comment in response to
post
At some point the shitty AI they are using will regress to using the "N" as a possesive.. like the old "napple" for "an apple" or "nfucking useless AI" for my own purposes of pointing out that these AI algo's are fucking shit and companies are going to die on their use of it.

Learned from the best years back. Walk around looking at a piece of paper.. No one stops you as they assume you're already doing something
This guy did nothing for 25 years and was paid a solid Govt wage. Retired achieving precisely fuck all

No joke though. In office days, I arrive an hour before everyone, leave an hour before everyone, have headphones in and look like I'll rip your fucking head off it you interrupt my flow
Just let me work from home ya cunts.. I do more, I'm more available and I work weird hours around YOUR cunt clock

I'm not pro violence, but that whole 2A thing where people are armed against an overreaching state is feeling VERY performative right now
They let kids die in schools to stay armed, to do nothing when it counts
Make it make sense.. I honestly look to comedians to find the rationale in these times

I had the measure of Russians from 90's gaming, and speaking with a guy married to a Russian scholar.
They are taught from day 1 that they are superior, and that winning for their side matters over everything.. Cheating is fine
It's an exploitable weakness in real life
Z man gets it

"disarmament" is really that thought right? It's been slowly applying restrictions.
Look at gun ownership per person in the US vs any other country, then cross reference it with gun based deaths..
Where is the payoff from this "freedom"
comment in response to
post
I don't have first hand experience on the ground, no.. Do you?
The US is an open book in terms of press, because both sides are basically full of people trying to further their careers, which gives a decent litmus test in distilling down to the central theme.
So what do YOU think we should think?

I can passively observe and question from another country that isn't under fascistic control...
I'm passively observing YOUR passive slide into absolute totalitarianism.

You're supposed to have your guns to protect from tyranny, but when tyranny comes calling, your tails are between your legs (mostly.. not all of course)
So why did you tolerate decades of school violence in protection of the 2A just to ignore it when it's actually needed?
comment in response to
post
What does this really look like?
I see a lot of this stuff being paraded around, but what is the actual end game?
I'm not encouraging warfare, but do you not see why other countries laugh at the US for protecting gun laws when kids are killed, but when the REAL reason the 2A exists is ignored?

Anyone looking in from the outside has been screaming this for months
It's pretext to crack down on your population due to civil uprising, and use established law to mobilise further force
But you're caught in a feedforward loop
The more you resist, the worse it gets

I'd need a source for this.. FIFA do not give a fuck about player/worker/fan safety, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed Qatar to host.
Personally I think removing it from the US would be the right call, but I don't see it happening... too many bribes have already changed hands

My biggest issue with recent models is just how keen they are to agree with you and reinforce whatever thought you might have.. so it's not going to tell an incel Nazi apologist that they are wrong but go along with their ridiculous beliefs.
We need models that will call out harmful fuckwittery

I'm a professional developer with 15 years under his belt.
I despise AI eroding my industry, but I know I'll be retiring at 50 because of mistakes that are being baked in by shit middle managers today.
"80% of junior jobs will be replaced" well where do the new seniors come from numbnuts?

Yes, the data is incomplete and not sufficient to come to a conclusion.
But intuition tells me that ice baths are bullshit.. Until proven wrong, I'll hold my strong opinion weakly :)

It always sounded like utter pseudo-science bullshit.
Not taking this single article as proof of any kind, but I suspect that studies will show my gut reaction to be pretty accurate..
Happy to be proven wrong, but when a health fad becomes a personality type, it's usually for marketing reasons.
