We do live in a world where simply mentioning the bad shit people do can get you in trouble.

Over on another forum site I mentioned that border security in Egypt made a British 15 year old girl strip in an airport and I received a 3 day ban off admins for “Inciting hatred based on identity or religion”.

I never mentioned religion or any identity. I just said “Egypt made a 15 year old girl strip naked in an airport and that was a pretty shitty thing to do.”

I’ve seen someone collecting lionfish, basically using a litter picker and a bag.

Aye, this is the problem with a lot of invasive edibles. Too few people are interested in foraging and usually you can only eat so much foraged stuff.

If everyone went out with tubs, bags and baskets on their days off and did a bit of foraging to make their diets a bit more varied and healthy then we might be able to make a dent in things like Himalayan Balsam and American Signal Crayfish. Realistically though we’d just have to limit foraging of easier to identify and prepare plants and fungi from easier to access areas.

I worked for an ISP that uses Openreach’s infrastructure in the UK. In order to make changes to customer installations or repairs we had to call an Openreach Contact Centre. These were basically big call centres in India. Many of my customers got contacted by scammers from India shortly after me contacting Openreach about their accounts using information like their address, contact details and information about the work they were receiving, and demanding things like card details to ensure the work went forward.

It was obvious Indian workers in those call centres were taking pictures of customer account details and using that info to scam those customers, but my company refused to do anything about it because we “lacked evidence” and just told us to let customers know any communication about their accounts would come directly from us and we’d never ask for any card details etc.

I’m certain any other companies, whether UK or US, that use centralised admin from India and similar places with poor security will be plagued with these exact same issues.

They do destroy biodiversity but at least they are pretty and won’t fuck you up like Giant Hogweed.

It’s difficult to eat your way through an invasive species. Himalayan Balsam is also edible but it’s thriving in the UK.

In fact edibility is often the reason these things are so invasive, it’s why American Signal crayfish are over in the UK.

Near rivers it has to contend with Himalayan Balsam, and the bees love that stuff too.

Wearing a full on clown costume and brightly coloured afro wig to really make the scene complete.

I’m now imagining someone doing this same thing at a funeral and honestly it’s pretty amusing.

Again, you keep commenting on these things so you keep getting offered them and you seem to think blocking communities to curate your experience is in some way an insult to you?

I likened you to a group of people on a social media platform doing exactly what you do. You are straight up using verbally offensive insults against me.

I’ve been patient enough with you as it is. I will use the block feature to curate my experience now and rid myself of your nonsense.

Sorry mate, I know with the remaster coming out soon that I should be careful with the spoilers.

Libraries are awesome and people should use them.

I make a point of visiting my local library at least once a week and borrow at least 1 book, even if I don’t get around to reading it.

This lets the council know the library is used and it keeps that funding coming in.

Who really believes Russia will stop at their current claims? Once they achieve their current goals, they’ll attack for more, and more, and more. The killing doesn’t stop.

The person Europe appeased eventually went on to go and shoot Hitler, afterall.

Thanks for the concise translation.

The comment was talking about things being Orwellian. Is it not Orwellian to have police killing many, many civilians?

Where are the horse exoskeletons for horses that fall and get injured in completely unnecessary horse races?

You are 66 times more likely to be killed by a police officer if you are in the US compared to in the UK.

All you’re doing by commenting here is telling the algorithm you like to engage with this community, therefore you will keep seeing it more, and complaining more, thus telling the algorithm you like engaging with the community etc.

I told you to block the community because you don’t enjoy it, that’s all.
