That’s the most enlightened centrist comment I’ve ever read.

Re. “The Hon.” Mr Justice Jay:
In May 2019, the Court of Appeal adopted his own terminology, describing one of Jay’s own judgments as being hardly “pellucid”. As well as levelling this mocking criticism at his legal writing, the Court of Appeal allowed the appeal on every ground raised, including the ground that Jay had been so overbearing, rude, and bullying to the claimant (whose first language was not English but Polish, and who was acting without legal help), that the trial had been unfair. In June 2020, the UK Supreme Court went further and found that Jay had “harassed and intimidated [the claimant] in ways which surely would never have occurred if the claimant had been represented”.
He seems like an amiable fellow. It would certainly be a condign punishment if he were the first high court judge in living memory to be removed by parliament.

I think the fact that you received this says more about you and your friend than it does about the state-of-the-art in copypasta…

But the importance of having a pithy one-liner ready to go whenever you finish someone off is real and true in both cases.

This is extremely dumb and stupid, and it made me laugh harder than anything else has in days. Thanks, OP!
- Comment on The walls have eyes... erm.... ears! 3 weeks ago:
Um, actually, in 1984 the government spies on you through your TV, but in real life, corporations spy on you through your TV and the government intercepts the internet traffic and/or asks the corporations for the data, so it’s obviously completely different.
- Comment on The electric boogaloo 3 weeks ago:
I think Jewish people divide the Tanakh into the Torah, the Nevi’im, and the Ketuvim, so the New Testament would have to be at least Torah 4: Prophet & Saviour. Or, more likely, a spin-off story set in the same extended universe: The Tanakh Presents: Jesus & Paul.

How is this difficult or unclear? Just care for people as people.
Because they’ve literally just been told not to do that.

Spelt? Are you smithing?
“Spelt” is the more common spelling of “spelled” in Britain, where I am from, and where the language was invented.
Your same source is going to tell me…
… that irregardless is a damn word
I don’t like it either and I blame the Americans. But part of learning language is learning that people using language differently aren’t necessarily wrong.

Oh, so you’re saying it’s either a strawman or a false dichotomy? (/j)

Counterpoint: He was definitely not the perfect choice for Jonathan Harker in Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula.
I love the guy and I agree he’s good at the roles he sticks to these days, but he kinda ruined that film. (In much the same way that Sofia Coppola ruined The Godfather 3, actually. Why does Francis Ford Coppola keep getting away with this?)

Is monday-monday [Monday, Monday] or [Monday, Monday)?
- Comment on Discovery phase 4 months ago:
To a certain extent, I think I understand. For people who have had only positive experiences with psychedelics, I’m sure it feels like the cheat code to life, and I can see why they’d want to share it. And I think some of them imagine themselves too smart or careful to get addicted, or maybe immune to addiction in the first place (and for a small number, that may even be true).
I’ve lost family to alcoholism and I struggle with binge eating as a coping mechanism, I’m damned wary of anything that could even potentially become a thing that I need to cope. I think some people will never understand that kind of thing until they see it firsthand.
- Comment on Discovery phase 4 months ago:
This is manifestly dangerous advice. You can get addicted to anything. Especially if it makes you feel good.

I mean yeah, they are awful. My primary concern is what if what they think leads them to decide to assault me.
