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

Well, these cases popped up while I was trying to remember Isla Bryson’s name:

Isla’s case:

So that estimate of 0% should probably be revised upwards a bit.

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

To be fair though, it really does. Everything we eat and drink gets broken down into nutrients, absorbed and used to make new cells. There’s nothing spiritual about “you are what you eat.”

How do I get a drink with no ice in it? Every time I say “no ice”, I get ice. I even tried asking for no ice, the drink, no ice, in a glass with no ice, and STILL GOT ICE WITH IT.

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.

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.

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

That’s the problem with listening to tankies.

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

So it’s correct to refer to a Nazi being hung then.

So is it pronounced “Jizz-lane”?

Part of me hopes this is both tragic and clever in that something happened to Lapasha, and the next will be Laquasha, but somehow I doubt it.

Social housing is a brilliant solution, as the citizens of those countries that provide it will attest.

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.
