Please please please be a sting operation. Charles pretends to knight him and “slips” or something.

Unlikely. He’s been banished from royal events.

It’s a projection. No damage has been done. It just dominates your view for a few minutes.

Even if you disagree with it, it’s such a mild form of protest to take exception to. Just let people express themselves.

Pretty poor counter argument.

“Justice for the abused” Vs “Oooh! Pretty building”

At the time of writing there’s one response in this whole thread that isn’t about Starmer, Corbyn, the Greens, Farage, or the crooked letterhead. Once again the Lib Dems demonstrate why they are the best chance for this country, and yet everyone ignores what they say.

People need to engage with the threat, and when you hear a party saying the right things, support them. Don’t cut them down. They are ignored by the media who would rather amplify the voices of Farage, Yaxley-Lenon and Musk. If you agree with Ed Davey that the UK government needs to make sure people like Musk face consequences for trying to invite violence in the UK, be vocal about it - here and anywhere else you can be.

The thing with chemo is that it’s pure poison.

It’s cheap to run for one person. Any service running it isn’t cheap when it has a good number of users.

I’m actually wondering if we’re headed towards a deflationary event. I don’t think the underlying customer base can support a lot of the prices now as wages have stayed well below inflation, plus I believe some of the inflation is artificial profit taking. Oil is half the price it was a few years ago, so transportation of goods should be a lot cheaper. Energy as a whole has been getting cheaper too as new renewable generation comes online, so those costs come down too.

The economists would think some deflation would be the worst thing ever, but the inflation spike of the last few years doesn’t seem to have a solid foundation.

I mean that episode specifically. It’s the low point of the entire show so far. “The Towering Inferno” in space.

Compared to what came before, it was a huge step down in writing quality. S3 didn’t really recover.

I wish I hadn’t seen it, but yes. That was what sprung into my mind too.

Good for you. Hope you’re enjoying being reborn.

My guess… It was anfo but they tried to set it off with a bit of string that they lit.

…and unless we recover it all with robots, that’s exactly where it’s staying. It’s far too unstable to move with people.

It’s rarely true.

You can aim to do something good, with a risk of something bad happening (e.g. as another poster said, rolling the dice on surgery to alleviate suffering at the risk of the patient dying)

…or you can do evil.

The “lesser of two evils” is just used as justification for something that can’t be morally justified otherwise.

Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Scientology are all quite similar. They all have some modern founder (Smith / Russel / Hubbard) who has positioned themselves as a Abraham like figure within the religion. Someone who has been charged by god (or aliens) to write the scriptures.

They are all cults of personality, and a lot of American evangelical churches display similar traits. Charismatic preachers who become celebrities within the movement getting fame and power in the process. There seems to be something in the American psyche that gravitates to this kind of movement.

Christian or not - all of these are problems movements in my eyes.

That show (not specifically the Norm episode) made me realise how ugly Jerry Seinfeld’s personality was. He was just not nice. Extremely materialistic. Not naturally charming or funny. Messed up value system.

It’s a celebration of European shared artistic culture, but also the diversity within that shared culture. It represents some important things, but it also doesn’t take itself too seriously.

I personally can’t stand watching it because the music tends to be shit (IMO) but I can understand it.

Sometimes in the future…

“Mummy, what kind of man was Daddy?”

“Well… His final words were ‘Counting or not counting gang violence?’”

Depends if it’s actually a funny joke.

A fixated mind might take an opportunity to blurt something out in a conversation… It would be awkward, not really fit in with what’s happening, and then the hiding reflex takes over. It gets played off as a joke to cover up what happened.

A active mind will dance and play with all kinds of ideas and sometimes will play with the concept of death, what it means and how bizarre the concept is on a lot of levels. Jokes will be throwaway comments that are at least mildly witty.

Nah. There’s loads of them.
