It was a Field Marten, not a weasel. The Pompiers still share around the image of its incredibly crispy corpse that was retrieved from the service tunnels at CMS Point 5.

Timeline thing is whatever, the collisions happening in LHC are less energetic than sunlight on a sq cm of grass, they're just much better controlled and measured.

Back when racism was at least thinly veiled...

Yes, kettles are more efficient at boiling water vs a microwave. On top of that, you don't need to guess the time it's going to take, it just goes until the internal temperature sensor reads 100degs and it shuts itself off with a little 'clunk'.

Those numbers seem really sus. "We came up with some kind of ~~bullshit metric~~ magic algorithm and it turns out that if you look at people who score 10% of the average, that's about 10% of the people!!!"

Uh... yeah buddy sure is.

Your point is not very coherent, I'm struggling to understand you due to how much you've written and the lack of formatting.

Some brief things to pick out:

  • Corruption is not just a socialist thing it's everywhere. India has huge corruption problems and is capitalist.

  • Taxes are not 'accepted feudalism' they are the basis of communal living. Even anarcho-capitalists recognise the need for roads and farming subsidies.

  • You're right that good can be done in any system but the idea of all of this is to find a system that encourages good and discourages greed. If we could rely only on everyone just deciding to be good there would be no need for any politics. You'll notice this has never happened in millions of years of human existence.

I remember when i first started using GIMP the thing that threw me the most was that there was no 'safe default' state that you could get to by pressing escape, like 'select' is for other programs.

If you think this is a small thing consider that escape/back is one of the only 3 default controls on phone UIs. It's super important and Gimp doesn't have it.

On your link there, I'm sorry to say the author is making a very silly argument. It boils down to 'if you see a specific race in this racist caricature then you're the real racist'. This would only be true if racist caricatures were a new thing never seen before. It's akin to saying 'oh i didn't mean black people when i screamed the n- word. You're the racist for thinking the n- word refers to black people'.

That's an extreme example but you see my point that there's a history that's being ignored.

Yeah except the focal point of those mirrors is measured in meters not 100s of kilometers. You can't use them to focus on something that far away.

This slogan is explicitly about erasing the state of Israel. Regardless of what you think about Israel's right to exist, it's not going anywhere. So this slogan just entrenches everybody further whilst more innocents die. It's dumb and I wish people would recognise it for the anti-praxis that it is.

All the nitpicking aside, this is the 'somebody's gotta scrub the toilets' argument right?

The simplest answer to this I can think of is, who scrubs the toilets in your home? It's you right?

Do you do it because you own the toilet? Not necessarily because people who live in rented accommodation still scrub the toilet. So why? It's because you have an interest in not living in a place with a filthy toilet. Now suppose you actually had a local community, you'd have an interest in making sure nobody was living with a filthy toilet they couldn't clean because then they might get sick and you don't want that because you're a nice person and you don't like seeing your friends hurt. So you'd probably set up a communal rota, which is basically what people here in the UK already do because elder care on the NHS doesn't exist in practice.
