@realjessica If you vote for Farage, you're a fucking idiot, because you've either not been paying attention, or honestly believe he knows what he's doing.
Like asking the arsonist who burnt your house down if they can build you a new one
@Mofoman360@jk_rowling JK Rowling didn't undertake the biggest project in film history by producing 8 films in the span of a decade whilst intending to use the same actors for each film to see them actually grow up.
She wrote some pretty popular children's books, that's it
@kaydeeclarkee@djodjeee_ I do in fact pity you, because you are a piteous cretin living in a miserable delusion.
And just so you know, spamming your replies with 'I'm right, you're wrong lol' just makes you look like a bratty 6 year old
@kaydeeclarkee@djodjeee_ I feel sorry for losers like you that see cultures bleeding into each other, inspiring creativity, and bringing people together as a bad thing
@LongTimeHistory In a country where the right to bear arms is constitutional, how the fuck are these criminals not being shot in self defence when they pull shit like this?
That is a masked criminal who just drew a weapon with the hopes of using it on you.
Arm yourselves for fuck sake
@BreitbartNews@grok Can you provide credible source for these reported mobs?
Or is it just a couple of terminally online people shouting at their phones?
@BernieSanders Standing up against Jewish violence - Antisemitism
Standing up against Muslim violence - Islamophobia
Standing up against Christian violence - Treason
@Uhltide3@Dexerto His objections are based on a deliberate misunderstanding of the initiative, and he has AND STILL claims the initiative is shit base on his own lack of understanding.
Remember when gamespy shut down, and individuals got servers running for those old games?
Yeah, BS from Thor
Statement Affirming the Continuation of the Institution of Dalai Lama
(Translated from the original Tibetan)
On 24 September 2011, at a meeting of the heads of Tibetan spiritual traditions, I made a statement to fellow Tibetans in and outside Tibet, followers of Tibetan Buddhism, and those who have a connection with Tibet and Tibetans, regarding whether the institution of the Dalai Lama should continue. I stated, “As far back as 1969, I made clear that concerned people should decide whether the Dalai Lama’s reincarnations should continue in the future.”
I also said, “When I am about ninety I will consult the high Lamas of the Tibetan Buddhist traditions, the Tibetan public, and other concerned people who follow Tibetan Buddhism, to re-evaluate whether or not the institution of the Dalai Lama should continue.”
Although I have had no public discussions on this issue, over the last 14 years leaders of Tibet’s spiritual traditions, members of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile, participants in a Special General Body Meeting, members of the Central Tibetan Administration, NGOs, Buddhists from the Himalayan region, Mongolia, Buddhist republics of the Russian Federation and Buddhists in Asia including mainland China, have written to me with reasons, earnestly requesting that the institution of the Dalai Lama continue. In particular, I have received messages through various channels from Tibetans in Tibet making the same appeal. In accordance with all these requests, I am affirming that the institution of the Dalai Lama will continue.
The process by which a future Dalai Lama is to be recognized has been clearly established in the 24 September 2011 statement which states that responsibility for doing so will rest exclusively with members of the Gaden Phodrang Trust, the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. They should consult the various heads of the Tibetan Buddhist traditions and the reliable oath-bound Dharma Protectors who are linked inseparably to the lineage of the Dalai Lamas. They should accordingly carry out the procedures of search and recognition in accordance with past tradition.
I hereby reiterate that the Gaden Phodrang Trust has sole authority to recognize the future reincarnation; no one else has any such authority to interfere in this matter.

@PirateSoftware@AI_EmeraldApple Oh look, an initiative that aims to LEGALIZE consumers ability to keep multiplayer games running off their own backs after support ends.
Such a disingenuous prick
