Fuck off this isn’t fking Facebook

I think the kid might’ve been avoiding hardware disease

They do that by feeding cows magnets.

(no but seriously 100 small magnets on purpose is something else)

Where on Earth do you live that hand grenades are available to children?

Because while I have tossed a bunch, it was one of the most secure boxes I’ve seen in my life, before we cracked it open and started tossing them, that is. (The chief didn’t want the hassle of returning them to storage so after training the conscripts and there being 75% of a box left, he just told me to toss them asap as he couldn’t be arsed to do the paperwork of returning them.)

My point is that arresting them is marginally less bad than just outright disappearing them (ie murdering them “in secret”, despite the sort off open secret nature of the business).

Well, if I had to say something, at least she didn’t “fall out of a window”, but idk if that’s even a positive or a negative in this case.

I assume a positive since she’s a whistleblower?

Bullshit propaganda to try to soften age restrictions coming in to fkin everything.

So by that logic, all sports should be banned. Last year there was an injury, so 100% a 100% ban to keep the children safe.

Also, kids get injured at school every now and then. Ban school! Also kids get injured at home every now and then. Ban homes! Ban parents! Ban food, I heard some people are allergic and even if they aren’t, it’s a choking hazard!

Billionaire season

You really don’t need much language to be efficient drone fodder.

Genuinely dogs have the capacity to learn the vocabulary needed to be a frontline soldier.

The whole “Iceland doesn’t have mosquitoes [as in annoying tiny flying biting insects]” is a bit misleading.

They don’t have mosquitoes, no, but biting midges.

What’s the point?

“You better believe we have weapons you can’t defend from, like, at all! We could totally take on NATO, easily. So like, don’t, like, even think about helping Ukraine any more!”

Russia (and/or the Soviet Union) has been doing variations of that to Finland since WWII.

That’s basically why it took us so fucking long to join NATO, because the argument used to be “uuuh, we can’t afford to piss off Russia!”

But since they obviously don’t care about their own capacity for war and invaded Ukraine, we thought, “fuck it, why not”.

So Russia used to have a bit of a buffer with Finland but since we joined, Putler is having even more heatenings.

Thus this sort of saber rattling.

Seeing as we’re on .ml I wouldn’t be surprised if Davel or Dessalines or one of the others just deletes this as some sort of anti-Russian discrimination and bans me.

Oh and just to remind Vanja. Don’t try to come over our Eastern border. #(Unless you’re alone and escaping Putlerism, but you should do that before the remining is done.)*

The Way is Shut!

A bit of a tangent but just today I watched a short about the history of what British colonialist did to the Hijra in India.

Basically they went over there and went “more than two genders? THAT’S ILLEGAL.”

Yet nowadays we have transphobes always reciting how it’s somehow a woke new thing to not have the sexual sensibilities of a Victorian British person.

earned through their labor

The people who are on hourly rarely have yachts. Fishing boats, perhaps. Sailboats are more rare, but the random fanatic boatbuilder? I’ve seen it on occasion. But yachts? Nah. That’s some intergenerational wealth going there, inherited something or rich parents back loans which enable the person to start their own company to rip off the labour of others. I know a bunch of them, born with a golden spoon up their arses.

People don’t get rich working hard. They get rich by stealing the profit from the hard work of others. I’m sure you know this.

It is very arbitrary, sure.

I think a main thing is people who describe their boats as yachts usually aren’t going from paycheck to paycheck.

Sure, man. Sure.

Boats are typically considered yachts when they are or exceed 24 meters.

A potential buyer of a superyacht with a net worth of around €25,000,000 might consider that 10-30% of their net worth invested in a used superyacht is something that they can reasonably afford, whereas potential buyers of new yachts might want to have a net worth in excess of €50,000,000 to feel comfortable.

It is estimated that around 130,000 people may have this level of wealth worldwide although experts reckon that only a few thousand individuals are actively involved in owning, building, buying and selling the approximately 8,700 motor and 1,750 sailing superyachts over 24 metres that have been built.

I think the earlier guy was asking if he’s ever left the US because “travel widens the mind”, but when people like that leave the country, they don’t even really need to “leave the country”. A private plane, constantly driven by his own people, eating his own food, etc etc etc.

Like Trump can go anywhere in the world and still not leave his cosy little McD and Fox&Friends bubble.

The initiative was first proposed by Charlie Weimers, an MEP from the right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), as a symbolic measure “to declare that our right to freedom of speech cannot be extinguished,”

Well no, right to free speech isn’t curbed here. The people are just reserving their right to kill off hypocritical dogwhistling would-be fascists.
