It just overheated and got a little eepy

Get the duck out of here

"But, isn't the whole point of the vetting process to tell the PM if he's making a bad decision?"

"Of course not Bernard, it's to inform us if we should inform the PM if he is making a bad decision."

"But he is making a bad decision."

"Exactly, which is why it is so important we don't tell him!"

That's stunning Megan

I wish I could invent something that would help you find mould lines on miniatures but no one would buy it because primer already exists.

Bluesky finding out about normies at no kings is hilarious to watch.

Bluesky lib at no kings: "Protest is a critical form of peaceful governance in a healthy democracy, by building this movement we further ...."

Normies: "This is a roll call for who's in if we have to do a revolution about this."

Through the Fryer and Flames

Should note that MW5 followed MWO in doubling the armour and structure values of all mechs to slow down TTK. (Because players lands shots way more than pilots do on tabletop)

MW3 does not do this, every shot matters and mechs come apart quickly.

Nothing quite like being wrong on the internet

Here, I highlighted the bit where you said it

An, really sucks doesn't it, having people get angry with you, accuse you of things.

Except you asked for proof the accusation was false and you're trying to change what you said here now you've been shown it.

Do yourself a favour, take the proof and then stand by it.

The problem is it's equivalent to a massive harassment campaign that has now kicked off in force. By people like you, right now, in that post.

You in face just brought it up, even if he provides proof, accusers can just deny it, no explanation will ever be good enough, so why bother?

Notting happening like all of his art being labelled as AI on one of the biggest art aggregation sites in the furry world?

And no they don't always believe time lapses, that's the problem, the people accusing him can just say no. And then he feels even worse.

Just stop to consider for a minute that that mod decided it was AI, gets to remove everything, and then puts it upon Terra to prove to THEM, however they want, that he is innocent?

And if he ever does, the accuser then has egg on their face, so has good reason to be doubtful.

Do you think maybe because after spending years learning to be an artist, having someone you don't know wrongly look at everything you've done and go "yeaaahh, I think you cheated all of it" and then that person gets to have their way as judge jury and executioner might be slightly discouraging?

Let me in. I miss the OSINT from the old place and didn't realize it had migrated here.

But this then means that to the left, "Zionism/Zionist" is half slur, half racist dog whistle.

And this week the bit of the left that isn't genocidal is discovering the bit that is genocidal aren't joking, and have been using exactly the same language to mean something else.

And then of course, to some of the left, they mean Zionism in the traditional, "Jews get to have a state so anyone who tries to murder/ethnically cleanse them gets shot at" sense.

When *they* say anti-zionist, they mean they are 100% pro genocide, just against the group they don't like.

The difference is what people mean by Zionism, and why I caution anyone who will listen about using Zionist unless they really understand it.

To a lot of the left, Zionism is the expansion of Israel by genocidal means.

To Zionists, it means not committing genocide against the Israeli population

Frankly, the fact the show doesn't address any notable moral quandaries facing the modern world is probably it's greatest crime. It isn't science fiction. It's a western set on a legally distinct millennium falcon.

Whedon was quite clear he was inspired by reconstruction era south stories. But at the same time, the setting is unambiguously different. The good guys *were* freedom fighters and the bad guys *are* and evil empire. The point was how to move on from defeat.

Pity he turned out to be a prick

It's not just what's repeated, it's what's missing entirely.

The single most unrealistic bit about Star Trek, is when they ask the computer to make two pieces of similarly designed technology work together in an obvious and understandable way; and then it works.

Yes this post is about a printer.

I'd have said it's more "Doctor Who villain who will not be surviving the two-parter"

Sorry Kat, the boys wear it better

The dilly dallying is an important part of the process. It's where all the best prose comes from.

"John Prescott would be loving this"

My husband is American, and after two years living here he finally understands what I mean by my life goals being to shop at Sainsbury's.

We actually order home delivery from Tesco a lot now as well, some things we prefer there. Not in person though, Tesco's car park is a nightmare.

"Palestine Action’s campaign and pursuit of criminal damage is designed to intimidate the persons and businesses targeted so they end their commercial relationships with Elbit. Palestine Action is not engaged in any exercise of persuasion, or at least not the type of persuasion that is consistent with democratic values and the rule of law."

Significant that the High Court ruling is still, in places, quite damning of Palestine Action. It emphatically rejects that the group is engaged in "civil disobediance", for example.

It just finds (compellingly) that proscription was still wrong, despite that.

Your past raises an eyebrow in concern

"It's not going to get better from there" you tell him
