It might surprise you, but the people at Stonewall would like nothing more than to live in a world where there’s no need for organisations like Stonewall to exist.

I don’t disagree, friend. Everything you said would at least go some way to mitigating each of those problems, but (imho) it won’t solve them.

Point of order: there’s no such thing as the ‘Irish Potato Famine’. It was an act tantamount to genocide by the British state. During the height of the famine Anglo-Irish farmers were still sending grain and livestock back to England. There was plenty of food, just not for Irish Catholics.

I don’t disagree that would be a good place to start. That’s said, much of what you’ve suggested sounds like more overly simplistic solutions to complex issues.
December 5, 2024 at 4:39 PM
No. People who believe a fairy tells them it’s OK to discriminate are the problem. It’s literally why organisations like Stonewall a) exist, and b) have to be political.

A choice to discriminate…

By definition, populism offers simplistic solutions to complicated problems. There is no ‘clearly defined’ plan for anything Reform UK says, and that’s why they say it.

lol. In the military we were working on online mis- and disinformation spread by malicious foreign actors as far back as 1999. It’s insane that there are still so many people that deny its existence.

If you earned $5,000 a day for the last 2024 years, you still wouldn’t have $4 billion.
Elon Musk: $263 billion, Jeff Bezos: $209 billion, Mark Zuckerberg: $201 billion, Larry Ellison: $181 billion, Bernard Arnault: $177 billion, Bill Gates: $158 billion, Larry Page: $154 billion…

I know a joke about trickle down economics, but most people wouldn’t get it.

Imagine if all the MAGTs left America and established a new country. Then went on for the next 275 years about how they ‘fled persecution’ and were so happy they were ‘free’ now. That’s basically what happened with the Puritans in 17th Century Europe.

Still not going to answer the question then?

I heard someone say: I don’t want AI to do my art and writing whilst I do my laundry and dishes. I want AI to do my laundry and dishes whilst I do my art and writing. Can’t remember the source, but thought that was rather good.

Hahaha, please don’t ever breed.
December 2, 2024 at 6:41 PM
Can’t address the weak argument then?
December 2, 2024 at 6:33 PM
Holy shit, we’ve got a real ‘Mom’s basement’ rockstar here.
You claim to be well-versed in the language, but clearly have no idea how it works.
Poor retard.

Fixed it for you. You can thank me later.
December 2, 2024 at 6:30 PM
Thank you. I’m glad that I’m able to express myself clearly and accurately. If you meant it as an insult, the word you were looking for is ‘inarticulate’. But then again, an articulate person would know that. Please stop embarrassing yourself…
December 2, 2024 at 6:18 PM
Yes, that’s right. You’re wrong. Now, if you’re a good boy we’ll do some finger-painting before bed. But you have to be on your best behaviour. Deal?
December 2, 2024 at 6:03 PM
If you’re trying to sound like a well-balanced, intelligent, human-being, you’re failing.
December 2, 2024 at 5:52 PM
And the same to you, nice stranger. All the best to you and yours for the holidays.
December 2, 2024 at 5:49 PM
You don’t sound well. Have a lovely day.

He was convicted of lying on a federal form, lying to a gun dealer, and possessing a gun despite restrictions. He also pleaded guilty to three felonies and six misdemeanours re: tax.

People are allowed to change their minds. It only becomes a lie if when he promised he wasn’t going to pardon his son, he knew that he would. Intent is the key. No intent to deceive, no lie. Besides, Hunter’s ‘crimes’ are nothing compared to the murderers, crooks, and malcontents Trump pardoned.
