No fucking shit. It has been like that since the 90s at least, 1971 was the genesis of the devolution/

That must have been the problem. I feel like it’s the same problem I had, not describing the backstory to middle earth fully to my date as I told her of the third age…

Frankly I never questioned why there be monsters as marked.

Where is this with the agent organge?
The US has sponsored a lot in colombia, which is basically like agent orange, “roundup special,” and they were working on using it in Afghantistan too but never got the suport.
- Comment on Jury unanimously acquits Churchill statue spray-painter 1 week ago:
That is not what I read in the Guardian, the newspaper said anything expected to yield less than a year in prison is now decided, as of 2020, by a magistrate that is chosen by the famously haughty and cuntish legal profession, and they just upped it to 3 years now.
That they underfunded and sabotaged the courts on purpose to use their failure as an excuse to get rid of jury trials, piece by piece. Fuck your lords by the way. Your MP’s, Labour, made this fucking change.

You don’t think an unelected rep shouldn’t be able to send you into the bay for year? How about three?
Jesus Christ, England is the birthplace of modern liberty, and you are surrendering it? Fuck you. Fight. Let me help, I can troll these motherfuckers better than any with a little help. Can we not fight and not surrender?

Bull fucking shit bro, I read about his shit, you guys are letting your ancient freedoms being ripped away, and aren’t doing shit about it. Man up. Woman up. Are you going to let the aristocrats cancel the magna carta on you?
Fucking pathetic. You can pretend this is something else with the sheep, not with me, you are surrendering to the oligarchy. Man up.
- Comment on How hard is it for an American citizen to become a Canadian citizen? Or get dual citizenship? 2 weeks ago:
If you have a canadian ancestor you can get in fairly quickly. If you have 10 million to invest you can buy your way in. Other than that, it’s not easy. I think they have quotas from countries.
- Comment on Jury unanimously acquits Churchill statue spray-painter 2 weeks ago:
They already did it for a year or less in prison in 2020 and that is passed no?
- Comment on Jury unanimously acquits Churchill statue spray-painter 2 weeks ago:
Oh, you still have jury trials? Must have been expected to receive less than 3 years in prison because they cancelled jury trials for all of them. Aren’t you glad you voted for labour?

The UK is more fascist than the US, they just don’t have the blowhard leader talking stupid shit to make it clear.
The UK needs help, liberal democracy is chained in the Old Bailey, tortured daily. I want to help, help us help anyone that has insight.
- Comment on What are some good, independent news outlets that are reliable? 2 weeks ago:
The fact that the US police seem to target the Australian Broadcast Corporation every time they cover civil disturbance in the US does speak to their credibility to me.
Same as the fact the retuers journalists got periodically wasted by the US army in the Iraq and afghanistan conflicts spoke well to theirs.
- Comment on What are some good, independent news outlets that are reliable? 2 weeks ago:
I read reuters every day if I can, and they are pretty good for world events and business news especially.
I’ve noticed some bias creeping in with candidates like El Sayed and Mandami and the like. But they have some really good reporting sometimes. They actually cut off US users in like 2024 or so, a paywall, just for us that I’m aware, but have since removed it.
The guardian helps round out what reuters leaves out. Then check The Intercept and Propublica regularly for investigative stuff. I need more but everything else I used to read online is paywalled now it seems.
- Comment on What are some good, independent news outlets that are reliable? 2 weeks ago:
NPR is not better than PBS. I am glad NPR is there, but they are NOT reliable. They allow corporate interest groups to come on and bold faced lie without challenge. Plus they are scared of their own shadow, at least if the conservatives are around.
The BBC is better than NPR, but they have their own problems, and are probably getting worse with the recent tory purge over the movie about the israeli occupation last year was it?

Did you know they spray pfas on the inside of those paper coffee cups?
That’s bad by the way.
- Comment on Oof 2 weeks ago:
Oh yeah, it’s been a while but I was playing Total War games a lot like a decade back. I had Rome with Barbarian Invasion expansion pack. They released medieval total war after rome at one point, quality as well. Then released an Alexander which was just cheaply ripping rome onto alexander without much detail or effort.
Then Empire total war, which should’ve been the best, and it sucked in some ways, it was clear Sega rushed the developers and forced a product that wasn’t done yet. Then instead of fixing it or continuing on, they remade Rome Total War again.
Maybe that’s not the best example, as Rome could’ve been improved though not sure how the new one was. But the corporate bosses were clearly stepping on their very capable and knowledgeable and witty developers to just rip a few changes to existing games to sell again.
- Comment on Dating Apps Are Dying 2 weeks ago:
They are all now shit if you don’t pay for it. Pof, okcupid, they are garbage. They used to work while silicon valley was still in it’s growth phase, hen enshitified when they entered the maximizing revenue phase, which started perhaps a bit earlier with dating sites than other sectors like search engines.
- Comment on Oof 2 weeks ago:
The movie producers suck so bad they can’t be bothered, or don’t trust themselves, to find new movies, despite more good ideas than you can shake a stick at, and instead remake already popular movies again paying obsceme amounts of money to big name actors and using flashy new computer graphics.
Hollywood has sucked my entire life, I understand many of you don’t realize how true that is, but they have gotten a lot worse with consolidation, It’s down to 3 or 4 studios now, 3 with each around 25%, including Paramount now. It’s going to get a lot worse.

Maybe it’s because so many people in the US and UK, including half of children, are now overweight.

I was mistaken it’s an all natural build I’m pretty sure, yeah that’s why I wondered because the abs were so developed but looking closer it’s all natural I am almost positive.
- Comment on So sensible 3 weeks ago:
Yeah but the way they are going about it here, they are purposefully killing the families, friends, associates, etc on people that are hamas, or related to those that are, and so forth. It’s some kaiser sose bullshit from a nationstate against a powerless adversary.
But yeah, they do want to kill them all, and decry all of us western bleeding hearts that are stopping them and make them pretend like they aren’t total nazis.
- Comment on Republicans after seeing Hasan Piker's meat on the jumbotron 3 weeks ago:
I think you are right, zooming in, it looks natural.
- Comment on So sensible 3 weeks ago:
In Israel they have some llm making kill decisions, based on their complete corruption of communications in the area. I don’t think their neighbors all realize(d, pre exploding pagers,) just howso.
They map out every contact, family member, all camera footage and behavior online and off, to make decisions on killing people, and most all are non combatants.
It was reported about in the months after 10/7.

Anthropic is one of the ones running auto kill bots I take it?

I can’t tell if he’s done some light anabolics to get that ripped. It’s borderline.
Would take a hell of a lot of work in any case.

It’s actually a thing out here in north america that all deer hunters do, their first kill always, they eat the heart raw. But I do it more than the first time if I feel like it.
- Comment on Why Should I... 3 weeks ago:
Also, the processed food they eat has way grosser ingredients, they have little idea just how bad it is. I’ve never heard of oats as filler as such, I’ve heard of rice like that, like with golubkis, the polish dish of meat and rice wrapped in cabbage then roasted with tomatoes.
I will give it a try if I ever get a chance. Maybe even make a hyprid version out of deer this cold season just for the lulz. I should be using more of the deer organs anyway. I hate liver but give that away as many love it. I don’t use the rest usually, except sometimes I eat the heart, raw. Like an apple.
- Comment on Why Should I... 3 weeks ago:
Well sure, I’m no chef. But haggis is almost universally disliked in any case. And the lack of oatmeal in common recipes elsewhere suggests it’s not great for these kind of uses. That said I would probably like the haggis if made well.
All the other grains are used elsewhere as such, except maybe rye, another food that grows well in the poor sandy soils of scotland and thereabouts as I understand it. I’ve never seen rye in a savory dish as such either. Barley, wheat, potatoes, corn, rice, all the rest are in numerous dishes.
