you may be right, but i first heard jimmy carr say it on an episode of qi.

big talk from someone with McSwag in their username!

makes sense. after all, the united kingdom + a lot of rain + an affinity for Ecstasy = UK-Rain-E.

but, hey, we have this super-mega toy that can hallucinate an answer to your esoteric questions for that price!

that’s got to be a bargain, yes?

you’re mixing up trump’s eventual misdeeds with the fact that the usa has undergone a massive transformation towards the right under the eight years of obama.

i’m talking about the seeds which were sown, you’re talking about the harvest which followed. these are two separate things.

each of your assertions have flourished under the manure of the obama tenure – even if they didn’t happen during his presidency.

but, sure. live in denial and give him a pass. just don’t moan when history repeats itself. as a non-american, it’s no skin off my back.

it’s possible to make tonnes of mistakes, lose, and still claim you didn’t make any mistakes.

that’s not fodder for a pithy quote. that’s denial.

well, one thing i’ll say in his favour: he did kill hitler.

trump may be the iceberg that sinks the ship but people must not forget that it was obama that steered it so expertly there.

whatever he has done in his eight years to engender such deeply entrenched hatred within the populace – so much that even morons like mr. 47 can exploit it so readily – needs to be studied so that it can be avoided in the future.

be like the tree; let the dead leaves drop.

it was smaller than Lemmy is now when I first started using it.

so now we know whom to blame for its enshittification

… there are already a bunch of people who are assuming brand to mean scarification by burning since they evidently only read the headline.

anyone who actually thinks that that headline means literal branding is an illiterate dumbass who needs to read more.

anyone who’s trying to sidestep the dehumanisation of prisoners mentioned in the article by throwing focus solely on the literal meaning of the word brand is an amoral dumbass who needs to understand humanity and history more.

i think that milestone has already been achieved – at least in terms of the expected quality of the final manuscript.

have you read the da vinci code?

if this were to be true to form, batman would be dangling upside down from the ceiling.

and the next morning, after exchanging fluids intra-species, the two of them would embirth a whole new coronavirus.

oh, so when they say she has a face that launched a thousand ships, they were all just that one boat with a thousand makeovers?!

i would strongly urge you to familiarise yourself with figures of speech lest you’re – you know – branded as an ignorant person.

yep, it wasn’t just a plain tiff.

double-negatives in the headline means a positive article.

tell me about it! i ordered a cherry π and received three and some bits of cherries instead!

that’s totes the fault of the guy who can’t understand what i mean when i’m trying to be esoteric!

i have one of those spongy yellow smiley balls to whom i vent. it just grins away and doesn’t react otherwise. that leaves me relieved and calm to move on.

as an aside, it’s also a helpful sounding board when i try and explain a problem. i should really give it the name “but why not?”

the people who sell them do not know how accurate the term “stress ball” is for the product.

huh. live and learn.

i guess for other species it’s pizza?
