Fragile take

I have had the belief for a few years that the rise of fascism is an emotional response to being afraid of an uncertain future that people feel like they have no power over.

Of course it ignores that, that was not the subject of discussion. You’ve just moved the goal post. I’m sure that was unintentional. Perhaps review the thread.

You’re not the boss of me. And in no moral position to criticize.

So, a bit more than one pound, instead of a bit less. *shrug* Not sure the difference was worth your abusive rhetoric.

Fair play, mod. I have a personality disorder and some of my dark humour/coping came though. I feel for people like VH who, like myself, have enormous difficulty dealing with people.

I’ve only ever seen the Queen in this regalia and I can’t not see it as crossdressing when Charles does it.

I was in favour of mummifying HRH so that her preserved corpse could continue to be our figurehead leader. Honestly, as stupid as it sounds, I don’t think anyone can argue that it’s more stupid than the status quo.

Imperial units are all defined in terms of SI units now. A liberal tear is conveniently defined as 989µℓ. Making one elephant roughly 6738.5ℓ.

According to WolframAlpha, the volume of a banana is 124mℓ. So I believe there are 125.4 tears per banana.

Properly speaking, there is no such thing as nanoelephants. That’s just an informal unit used by coke dealers for marketing purposes. Elephants are obviously an imperial unit, and “nano-” is an SI/metric prefix. You have to break it down or use fractions. There’s 103 golden retrievers per elephant, 14 footballs to the the golden retriever, 9 eight-track cassettes per football, and 525 liberal tears per cassette. You should have been using liberal tears to be scientific.

No. Seriously.

You might have a problem grasping irony.

Well for one thing, it’s not and is not intended to be an international governing body. What nation would choose to belong to such a thing?

So read the description

The U.S. Justice Department unsealed an indictment against two Russian nationals, accusing them of setting up a conservative media outlet as a front for pro-Kremlin propaganda. Details in the indictment point to Tenet Media, founded in 2023 by the Canadian influencer known as Lauren Chen and her husband, Liam Donavan.

omg you’re serious. ha ha, dumbass.

Hate speech. Reported. Not cool.

There is no real dichotomy between the logo we have and the proposed typographical symbol. They have different uses, neither can really replace the other. Keep the established colourful Fediverse logo in visual layouts and when desired use the typographical symbol in text. It is natural that they won’t be exactly the same symbol because they are designed for different needs; one is meant to look pretty and one is meant to read well as text.

No I’m just so very bored and this is the classic bikeshed issue so I figure I won’t cause any problems here.

Booo!!! Satan hater!! Hey everyone, this guy hates Satan!!!

That’s nonsense.

If you know what those reasons are, then whether or not they have been articulated should not influence how you feel about those reasons. To think I could control your mind by not saying things. Just think of all the things I am not saying right now. You’ll go mad.

If you DON’T know what those reasons are, then you are simply not able to respect them less than you do now.
