- Comment on Does each country have a book/library of the laws of the land that a commoner can consult to check if they're about to do something illegal? 1 day ago:
www.legislation.gov.uk - For the UK.
- Comment on My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories 1 day ago:
The only thing that varies is the type of football. Looking at you America, but I think that is going to change very soon.

From left to right:
- Computer Science: Wunderkind who went into CS hoping to be the next Steve Jobs but ended up at Academia after figuring out how to get broadband speed data connections over shortwave radio. May be in the throws of a gender crisis, but who knows.
- Archeology and/or History: This man is an expert in Minoan history. He originally planned to go into Egyptology until he attended a lecture on the Thera Eruption and got hyper obsessed. Known for his eccentric dress sense, unless he’s on an archeological dig (in which case he dresses in overalls, doesn’t want to get his suits dirty). Openly gay. Believed Linear A might be a abugida.
- Economics and Gender Studies: You may think economics and gender studies are odd bedfellows, but this professor wrote a paper on the economics of transgender women in which she argued, with receipts, that transgender women effectively fall a whole class category when they transition and are where ciswomen were societally in the 1950s and is falling quickly. Her mail, both personal and professional, has to go through the mailroom of the medical department, because their mailroom is bombproofed due to pro-lifers sending them pipebombs, because she keeps getting death threats and even a pipebomb from anti-trans groups. Judith Butler and Abigail Thorne both cite her works on the regular. Her book on non-monitery economics is required reading.
- Mycology: Got into Mycology because of Terrance McKenna, stayed in Mycology because of Paul Stamets. Despite not working with psychedelic mushrooms, he is on several watchlists and has to add an extra three hours every time he goes international or flies. He managed to send a message from one end of a forest to the other, not only proving that fungi “talk” to each other but also how fast a message takes. Believes that studying Mycology also has engineering and political applications too. The latter is the reason why he keeps getting stopped at airport security. His essay on “Anarcho-Mycologism”, despite not advocating violence, is seen as threatening by most governments.

- Comment on We can play that game too 1 week ago:
I have met people who think like that on the regular and I just want them to go move to an American Car Suburb and see how they like it.

“Why should I, a man who religiously drives and has no children or grandchildren, pay for these things?”
Because it benefits you and society at large in other ways. It is in society’s best interests that people are educated so they can do much more in society than they would’ve otherwise. It is in society’s best interests to have robust, comprehensive public transport, because that way the roads won’t be clogged up, stopping you from driving. It benefits you that the nurses at your care home can read what meds they’re giving you and can do maths. It benefits you if people can get to their destinations without driving otherwise you would not be able to park at your destination. Your meals on wheels not getting stuck in traffic? The ambulance being able to get to you and get you to the hospital on time? The people around you being able to have the skills to operate in not just the work place and the world? All of that benefits you.
Thinking like this is how we ended up in the shit we’re in worldwide.

Jones: Waiting for the bus, looking forward to the Pizza that is in his fridge.
Palin: “Hey kids, do you wanna see a dead body.”
Cleese: Has just conceived of a new, exciting way to commit arson.
Gilliam: Not pictured because the new, exciting way to commit arson involved his car.
- Comment on These platforms are currently exempt from the under-16s social media ban. But that could all change 2 weeks ago:
Ok so 4chan is exempt as a “small forum” but they want to ban under sixteens from using GitHub, Steam, and YouTube Kids.
First one is a Website for developing software, second is a game store and the third is LITERALLY YOUTUBE PURGED OF ADULT CONTENT AND THE COMMENT FEATURE TURNED OFF!
Do these people actually look at the things they want to ban.

These people are morons but the ones at the top like him are psychotic. They’re purposely trying to get their “followers” isolated from anyone that may soften their views and talk sense into them.
Yeah that’s basically the goal here. This is classic cult tactics that are used by your classic “Drink the Koolaid” cults but also terrorist groups.

- Comment on 🤔 Interesting Theory. 4 weeks ago:
Has anyone ever encountered the concept of Bisexuality on this website?
Also I don’t think he paints his living spaces in Gold because he’s queer. I think he does it because he’s an arsehole who wants to appear like a Pre-revolution French Monarch or Middle Eastern Dictator. He’s extra in that sense and queer in the sense he has no picture in his Grindr profile and randomly sends twinks dick picks when he’s not on the Deep web.
- Comment on 🤔 Interesting Theory. 4 weeks ago:
So he’s intrinsically homosexual…
Has anyone on this god forsaken earth ever heard of Bisexuality?
- Comment on Had to look this up 4 weeks ago:
There’s no way you people would think she’s racist
That’s mainly because she was hyped up for so long and she didn’t go all out, but it wasn’t long until someone noticed the Gringot’s bankers were Jewish Stereotypes and some of the names were a bit iffy. But I think it really was a “Little Britain” situation where we didn’t get it until the second read through.
Also, in her books for adults, she’s gone mask off, especially against Mixed Race people.
- Comment on Is it gay to have pleasurable sex with your wife? 4 weeks ago:
people only have a right to exist as long as they’re useful to society in one way or another.
And the view of the current conservatives in power in the US is that you can only be useful to society in very specific ways: For women, it’s reproduction and home making, and if you dare break out of that you are “destroying society”.
