But you still can't see it.

"The complete absence of any proof makes it glaringly obvious that there's been a cover-up!"

I'm saying that jokingly. They'll say it seriously. The less evidence there is, the more proof there is. That's what it's like in the surreal, inverted parallel universe inside their pointy little heads.

Ugh, someone in my office has reported in sick with Covid this morning. She'd better not be back in this week. Me and wifey have been quadruple-jabbed, but she's on immunosuppressant drugs for her MS and if she caught Covid (via me, via my coworker) she might have a very rough time of it ... if she's lucky.

I'm dazed with shock and grief.

"It's a witch hunt!" is pretty much the kind of thing a witch would say.

idc if the allies came up with the definition AFTER the bombings

The concept of war crimes wasn't a post-WWII invention. It had become a concept in international law (the Hague Conventions) as early as 1899.

Prior to the First World War, international jurisprudence more widely interpreted the provision of Hague Convention IX (1907, ratified by the USA in 1909) against the bombardment of undefended cities by naval forces to also prohibit their bombardment from the air.

You have it delivered.

Did the Ottoman tanzimat of 1839-76 really signal a new era of modernization and liberalization, or did it merely represent the retrenchment of the Ottoman bureaucracy in its efforts to tighten control over the state?

Keep a distance, but lower your head and stomp your foot in an aggressive manner, so that she realizes that, as the eldest, this is your territory, and she must respect that unless she decides to take it by force.

Or you can mark your territory by peeing a circle around your seat.

I only get drunk alone, and all I really do while drunk is watch Youtube.

That's good. If you're going to be online while you're drunk, keep that credit card well out of reach. Drunken impulse buys = regrets!

I reached the point where I was having alcoholic blackouts. What made me quit drinking was waking up one afternoon with bloodstains on the pillow, the sheets, my face and my (gashed) forehead, but with absolutely no idea how I'd managed to injure myself. I was worried as fuck about what I was doing while drunk.

I get that ppl mightve enjoyed summer back in the pre-global warming days when winter was super dangerous. When some ppl had to resort to cannibalism cuz of failed shipments or other stuff but we don't live in those times anymore

Yeah, the 1980s are pretty far behind us. The amount of cannibalism at my school by late January, early February was ridiculous. Kids who turned up without a packed lunch would routinely eat the kid at the next desk. It's why no one wanted to sit at the back of the class, it was just too dangerous.

I just hope they had that many because they promised themselves and each other that they were capable of showing each and every one of their children an equal amount of love and attention, and they do it. You should never have more kids than you're able to love and care for equally. If you're overwhelmed and your kids' upbringing and home life is poorer because of it, and that became apparent by kid #4 but you kept going anyway, then you made bad choices.

Oh, and also: don't expect me to subsidize your sex life. You make this choice yet you're expecting other people to pick up the tab, since you can't afford to have that many kids? Then don't have them. Your kids are not supposed to be an ATM.

There is a tiny number of Creationists, but they're on the fringe, even of their own religions, and you never hear a peep out of them.

My first sis-in-law was a creationist; I remember she persuaded us to read the book Bone of Contention: Is Evolution True? by Sylvia Baker. Her father was a Baptist minister, and she'd grown up in Nigeria; but then so had wifey, who poured, um, some considerable scorn on my sis-in-law's beliefs. Somewhat incongruously, my sis-in-law was studying at uni for a career in the sciences...

Boris Johnson is on record as saying he is not a 'serious Christian'.

To be fair, Boris was never really a serious anything. Well...Except arsehole, maybe.

Other: I shave my head and face.

how literally any presidential candidate has to act like they're Christian if they want to stand a chance at winning, even though religion is completely irrelevant in such matters.

The day America has a presidential candidate who feels s/he can actually say out loud, "No, I don't have a church" while on the campaign trail, and go on to win -- that'll be the day America has really grown up at last.

Think about the shitshow that has been these last 10 years across the globe: The Rise of the Alt-Right across the globe

Wishing for the deaths of billions of people as a "final solution" to the world's problems actually makes you sound more genocidal than most alt-right hatemongers.

Putin really is an inexhaustible source of shitty ideas, isn't he?

Yes: my cousin who, when I was young, was almost the older brother I'd never had. He joined the British Army and did at least a couple of emergency tours of Northern Ireland. I didn't really reconnect with him until after he left the Army and when I did, his personality had changed in ways that weren't good. His experiences in NI had radicalized him and he'd grown sympathetic to loyalist paramilitaries: he was close with guys in the UDA (which, at that time, wasn't an illegal organization) and "former" (wink) members of the UVF (which definitely was an illegal organization, and for good reason).

It's a paradoxical situation in which no one has enough money because everyone has too much.

I'd love to know who that 'Moira' snitch is.

It's not like Ralof couldn't have done that himself even before you wake up.

That's probably why you get promoted over him like 20 minutes after joining the Stormcloaks. He's not really management material.

He brazenly marches into Riverwood in Stormcloak armour, meets with his sister in the open, and announces that he doesn't want to put her at risk. He's not really cut out for undercover missions either.

It's long enough to make movies considering the American media market detailing our own history.

I think the only British-made Western was Carry On Cowboy.

As such, many are traumatized from childhood to believe these things, and that going against their religious indoctrination will result in their loving god sending them to eternal damnation and suffering at the hands of evil beings he allows to exist in a dimension of eternal, unimaginable torture he created specifically for his creations that don't worship him hard enough.

There are abusive fathers who'll humiliate, beat and starve their children for failing to show sufficient respect, but there's only one psychopath who threatens to torture them throughout all eternity for it.

Unfortunately, these things aren't quite so good at sifting out bots from incredibly dumb humans.

There's not really a debate to be had about this, and I don't see why anyone would want to fight her corner unless they're racist-loving racists.

So what do you think would sway you to believe him to be working for God

I could believe that he believes he's working for God. And he'd need to justify that belief, because I'm not going to accept "Well, I feel pretty confident that it's him who's the source of my power."

For a girl, you can always shorten Judas to Judy.

They thought audiences might get the impression it was something to do with chocolate.

Obviously it'd need to be somewhere that has no extradition treaty with the US.
