I’m really glad that he’s aware of the moral implications of what he did.
Doesn’t sound like you are though. I mean, you just admitted he committed fraud in order to appropriate money meant for people who actually needed it, and now:
- you want to justify it by saying “clearly the government wasn’t holding back assistance to anyone at the time” as though it being an honour system at the time made what he did okay;
- you’re pulling that after you first tried to paper over that they weren’t just any old loans he took out; in addition to which
- you want to try and paint me as the bad guy.
You serious, dude? You’re aware that I didn’t commit fraud during the pandemic, right? And it wasn’t hard either, I just didn’t apply for relief I wasn’t eligible for. You’re aware he wasn’t scamming a bank, he was scamming people in need?
It’s okay to make mistakes, but he is lucky he’s not in prison, and if he can own what he did like an adult then so can you.

Hope you’ve got some of that broken leg serum
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Also half of the loans were government Covid aid that he applied for even though he wasn’t eligible
Ahh, so he did a bunch of fraud. The reason the government was writing blank cheques was because people were dying in the millions and businesses were failing left and right. He’s lucky he’s not in prison.
I’m glad he’s doing better now, but I can’t help but think of the people who needed that money and might not have gotten it in time (or maybe at all) because of what he did. Does he ever think about that, do you know?

I believe this is called an “impression”.

Sorry Tony, none of us can hear “the response we deserve” over the crunching of that fuckin onion

Where did you hear that setting your phone on fire works fix the screen? Out of curiosity.

There are better solutions than literally anything that could be behind that Amazon link.

Explanation: Luck. Just pure good luck. Biology is messy, results for one aren’t the same for all. It does however increase the chances of an infection, regardless of whether she’s ever had a UTI from this practice.

As a straight boy who is better-versed in vaginal care than most: thank you for spreading the word. Uninformed men can do a lot of damage to the self-esteem (and sometimes, by consequence, to the vaginas) of their partners if they don’t know this stuff.
- Comment on Is their any evolutionary benefit to the sneezing reflex when looking at a bright light source, or is it just an evolutionary glitch with no purpose? 1 month ago:
Interesting! I’ll update my post, it makes sense there would likely be variability in how it presents due to biology. My experience isn’t necessarily the default.

homey needs to smell like a gun in a pine forest
Stealing this whenever I need to describe Axe in the future.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Women always telling me a smell nice is why I use women’s soap and deodorant. I would rather smell vaguely like a field of wildflowers, a warm summer breeze, and fresh-washed linens than whatever the fuck Axe is meant to be.

That’s the prevailing theory, yes, but as far as I’ve found there’s not empirical evidence to back it up. The theory does make perfect sense to me, though!
Also, as a sufferer, I’ve noticed it almost always requires sunlight or something with close to the same frequencies. Most artificial lights don’t trigger it.

Contrived acronym. I much prefer Photic Sneeze Reflex, it’s easier to remember and doesn’t sound like bullshit 😂
- Comment on What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with? 1 month ago:
This is about the shittiest argument you could make. Good luck in your search, maybe you’ll find some self-awareness along the way.
- Comment on What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with? 1 month ago:
Ugh, of course those people would point to any source that supports their current claim, without vetting the source itself. They’ll even tell you that of course they don’t support antisemitism, while spouting that antisemitic Irving shit all day, and that’s okay because they pick and choose only what they agree with out of the rhetoric. As though they couldn’t find sources that support their point without the concomitant antisemitism.
First and foremost, then, I’d go about this by not denying the genocide in Gaza and not saying stuff such as “I bet you love Palestine” like it’s a pejorative, spacecadet@lemm.ee.
My second point would be to recognise that there is no moral or ethical reason not to pirate Irving’s works. If you were able to find it at a library, it would be there because someone paid a publisher for the copy and likely some kind of library license. Some of that goes to Irving. There is no way to deny him profit and acquire his work legally. So, pirate it. Fuck that guy.

Learn to share the road, mate. England’s not that big, you can slow down and get where you’re going with plenty of time to spare.

I take the view of the social contract: if they won’t respect the rules and are impolite to you, they forfeit their right to politeness back. You’re perfectly justified in hanging up on someone if they’re so rude as that.

No worries! Honestly I was pretty out of the loop too, I’d heard some stuff but never looked at the extent of it.

Why do people ask for me to fix their computer issues, only to ignore me or tell me I’m wrong when I give them the solution? Yet it happens every day. People are weird, man.
- Comment on We call people who want to regress conservative and not reactionary 2 months ago:
We let them call themselves that. Just stop respecting their self-identification, they’ve basically abdicated any right to our respect anyway by breaking the social contract.

Yikes. How do you handle it - try not to think about it, stay out of the house? Dark humour and fucked up jokes? Do you interact with her much? Any opinions on her?

Delicately seasoned and pairs perfectly with this tall glass of crisp, refreshing schadenfreude. Delicious.

Which I’m also pretty sure means the ones you have are targeted by this law and it’s a good idea to surrender them.

Why do you say you don’t care about climate change, and what would make you care? Climate change is one of those things that’s going to suck for all of us, so even if you have no empathy for anyone else, it’s kinda surprising that you don’t at least care about how it will affect you.
- Comment on Why doesn't phones numbers have a "DNS" servet so we can just type in words like we do with the internet? 5 months ago:
I laughed out loud when I read the title of this post. When I’m helping my customers with their domain DNS records, I always analogise DNS to “a phone book for the internet”. I love that we’ve come full circle and phone books are “DNS for the phone system” 😂 (also goddamn does this make me feel old 😭)
- Comment on Is it wrong to like AI Art work? 5 months ago:
ITT: “you are not allowed to like things I don’t like”
However you feel about how the models are trained, telling people they’re not allowed to like the results is going to be a losing argument. People like what they like, and you can argue with them but you won’t stop it 🤷
