Knowing the right jargon makes people without much critical thinking ability feel clever and impresses people who're similarly short on analytical skills. It doesn't require much intelligence to memories slogans and trendy words. Ask any parrot. Or, indeed, Stella Creasy.
I know we do some really stupid things as a society, but surely we wouldn't imprison a male rapist in a cell with a woman, just because he makes the obviously insane claim that he's not a bloke. Right?
...right?
You know what drives me INSANE. people posting videos of themselves holding tiny tiny microphones between their fingers. They’re CLIP ONS FFS. CLIP ONS!!!!!
When our government is allowing this, it shows you that their net zero cult, is absolute fucking bullshit. And this is just one data centre, they’re planning to have hundreds, all over the country…
One of the tragic side effects of being nonbinary is that it causes you to adopt all the same gestures and mannerisms as someone with a narsacistic personality disorder.😥
@Rob_ThaBuilder This nonsense would’ve stopped in its tracks if they started off calling fathers “ejaculating parent” when they stared calling women “birthing parent”.
In my mental health assessment, the doctor determined that I was: “Deranged and unhinged, with no grip on reality, and the critical thinking skills of a three-year-old” This was the final stage of the interview process, and I've now been approved as a Green Party candidate.
Soccer is the most European of sports because while the athletes are real and there is actual activity, the final outcomes are determined by procedural manipulation of random bureaucrats
Activist: "Farmers are millionaires sitting on land worth a fortune. They can afford the inheritance tax."
Farmer: "How much did I earn last year?"
Activist: "I don't know. A lot, surely."
Farmer: "Twenty-two thousand. Before the tractor broke."
Activist: "But the land's worth millions."
Farmer: "On paper. I can't eat the field or spend it. The only way to turn it into money is to sell it, and then I'm not a farmer, I'm a bloke who used to have a farm."
Activist: "So sell a corner of it."
Farmer: "A corner doesn't work as a farm. You can't run a suckler herd on the bit that's left after the taxman's had his slice. You sell one field, then the next bill comes, then another field. It ends one way."
Activist: "The land only costs that much because you won't sell it."
Farmer: "It costs that much because a hedge fund three counties over wants it for carbon credits and a footballer wants it for the view. Neither of them has ever calved a cow at three in the morning. They set the price. I get the bill."
Activist: "It's still an asset."
Farmer: "It's a workplace that happens to be expensive. You've decided the value of the shop is the same as the wage of the shopkeeper. Come back in February and watch me not be a millionaire in the rain."
I’ve always found the dietary concept of “a square or two of dark chocolate” incredibly depressing. That’s not a treat! Might as well be a couple of radishes.
