No, I tweak the rules to better suit my gameplay preferences.

I tried building a sleeper PC once but kept getting disturbed by trains.

Future handbag on a present windbag?

Well whatever I am, you just outed yourself as someone who is OK with men who attack women with sledgehammers.

Yell Nazi at me all you want. But it’s your moral compass at fault here, not mine.

All societies need rules to function, even whatever tankie paradise you believe you occupy. Break those rules at your peril.

Unless of course you’re telling me you live in a society which doesn’t sanction anyone at all even if they commit GBH against law enforcement.

Those four terms can be derived directly from observation of Hamas’ behaviour. There’s no genocidal fascist here.

I can answer this now we’ve got some additional information: Male PA activist strikes female PC with a sledge hammer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g54g1r15eo

PA refused to denounce this individual but instead claimed this was planned, intentional, and will be repeated in future.

Ban = Quite Right.

If it was just property destruction then a ban would probably have been a bit excessive but GBH changes that equation drastically. That PC could have been killed for just doing her job. This is absolutely not acceptable, and PA supporters* need to be ashamed of themselves.

*As distinct from “Palestine supporters”. Still nothing wrong with protesting in favour of a misogynistic, homophobic, antidemocratic, murderous cult, although it’s beyond me why anyone in the West would want to.

Imgur has geoblocked the UK because of the OSA. Just open it in Tor instead.

On the upside our kids aren’t going to be traumatised by pictures of apples.

Naah don’t do that. Beethoven went deaf and that didn’t stop him. There are other deaf musicians out there: Evelyn Glennie for one. And I’ve played for a deaf person who said she was able to feel the vibrations even if she couldn’t hear them, so she definitely appreciated the performance.

It’d be a big loss but it wouldn’t be catastrophic. Beethoven went deaf and that didn’t stop him.

I could focus in on the pure music inside my head that isn’t degraded by the normal music transmission channels.

I’ve read enough written music to be able to hear it in my mind’s ear when I read it, so learning new stuff would still be possible.

I would miss being able to crank Summer of 69 up to 11 though.

Yes, easily

Acronyms don’t count, otherwise the two bullshit job dudes could just say “I’m an SFSA” and “I create BDRSs”.

If an atheist abuses a kid should we fuck atheism too?

It’s getting so bad that some people can’t distinguish between British and American punctuation conventions.

Same reason you might use 22/7 instead of the exact value of π. If I look at a clock and see it’s about ten to 2, it’s rare to never that I actually need to know it’s 1:53:22.57365785285978520256734567314854372354675466099.

Shut both doors, then open a different one and say “Whose a lovely kitty then?”.

We even measure the same thing using different standards. The three tyre measurements are taken in mm, mm, and inches.

I put it down to us being smarter than everyone else.

Six strawmen in a single post! Well done, that must be some kind of record!

That’s still an oversimplification. In reality political opinion varies across a spectrum; it’s not just hard left, hard right, or no opinion. My own views for example are a little left of centre with a leaning towards liberty (i.e. away from authoritarian). So of course I get called a nazi by the hard left, and a tankie by the hard right, both of which are utter nonsense.

Double entendre.
