My opinion is that the probability of life developing on another planet, advancing to interstellar travel, and being physically close enough to us to visit us during the last few million years is so implausibly tiny that anyone seriously asking about their relations with human beings can be safely dismissed as a complete rube.

Using an item you haven’t identified is always a recipe for disaster. I have not once heard of a group using an unidentified item and finding out it was anything other than the worst possible thing to use in the situation.

that is most convenient for the teachers

Nope, also extremely inconvenient to them. It’s only actually convenient for a small selection of neurotypicals with ideal or near ideal home lives/parent involvement, while nearly every other kid benefits from basic adhd accomodations like fidget toys or being allowed to sit/lie wherever to do their work. We haven’t made any significant progress on teaching since the victorian era.

Interesting, I seem to have the opposite condition - something breaks, then they ask me to look at it and by the time I get there it’s working perfectly again.

Arson is a right.

It should be a right.

Maybe it’s one of those things where you have to be there at the time.

If a cat weighed 300 pounds, had the intelligence of a toddler and the morals of a seagull, it would be a dog. It’s just a dog. Seals are exactly sea puppers, people just don’t know what a pupper really is.

why would i fucking care about the rest of what you have to say, liar?

Hey now, something strange is going on here - see, when I visit that page, there aren’t just 3 items. Now, you wouldn’t be selectively ignoring parts of your own source to paint a certain narrative, would you? Because the 4th item I see is

4 : something useful in an effort to foil or defeat an enemy: such as
a : a piece of military equipment

b : spy

I’m sure you simply… overlooked it in your excitement. Now you’re aware though, I’m sure you’ll be happy to correct your comments.

He’s done similar to me twice before, I just wanted to confirm it’s him before reporting this account as an alt too. The first name I knew him under was @Voight, so he’s obviously not super inventive with usernames.

Hey Voight, you made it to Vietnam yet? Or are you still here because I was right about them not wanting to be friends with you either?

To be clear, being a troll or a paid actor doesn’t make you someone’s property.

Ok, I give up, I have no idea if you’re doing a bit. Like I felt kinda confident you were serious, but this leaves me floundering. Purposely obtuse because you’ve talked yourself into such a stupid corner, or just that incredibly obtuse that you unironically think asset means property? Absolutely no way to tell which one it is.

Deselect him if you feel strongly otherwise

PLP keep overriding the selection process around me to ignore local candidates or skip the process completely. If you want to be serious about politics in the current climate you need to be serious about inflicting permanent harm on politicians.

Rutte spoke in Brussels after a high-level South Korean delegation, including top intelligence and military officials as well as senior diplomats, briefed the alliance’s 32 national ambassadors at Nato headquarters.

The South Koreans showed no evidence of North Korean troops in Kursk, according to European officials who were present for the 90-minute exchange

Smells like Saddam’s WMD’s all of a sudden.

No, the generic you doesn’t have the history and context of “you people”, and even if it did, using “you people” to refer to groups that people choose to join (i.e the British Government) isn’t a problematic use. The whole point of "you people"being used against ethnic minorities is that it lumps people together as if their skin colour automatically means they follow specific ideologies. The point of an organisation like a government is that they are all working under the same ideology.

Generic you, as in institutions of British government, not specific you, as in Niel Basu.

he said: “To leave that lying around anywhere on foreign soil is the most unbelievably reckless disregard for human life I’ve ever witnessed.”

bro wait until you find out what you’ve been doing in the middle east

People love to talk about self reliance without thinking about it too hard - you’re not on your own, you’re entirely dependent on cooperating with others for your way of life. You did not builld you house, your car, your clothes, your bed. You did not grow your food, you did not mine the oil in your plastic products, nor refine it into them. You do not generate the electricity that powers your home and devices, you did not build the generator or infrastructure that brings power to you. Even the smallest things - the cutlery you use to eat, the soap you wash with, the bed you sleep on - were made by others for your use.

Self reliance is a capitalist myth that’s inherently disproven by modern civilisation.
