Steven Seagal is the opposite for me, if he’s in it I know I’m about to enjoy a shitfest

Don’t forget the response if you contact the email

Blimey, maybe their production quality varies based on which factory it was built in (or Euro NCAP have better quality control regs), the one I’ve been in was lovely!

Everyone circlejerks about this online but every IRL owner I’ve actually spoken to say it’s the best car they’ve ever owned.

Quick, someone print out and photocopy this photo

It was very popular in the mid-2000s but I don’t think I’ve heard anyone use it since then. I’d say somewhere in the middle.

“As the crow flies” is a pretty common expression on this very isle

I hate that it’s apparently the edgelord opinion to think bringing a child into a world where they will suffer is a bad thing. Anyone having a child is either a victim, an idiot, or a sociopath.

Does the USA just let anyone become in charge of large areas of the country? Like you don’t need to be an elected official or anything?

Were they dumb?

Yes.

It’s a single country with a single currency, a single government, a single history, and a single language. Yes there’s a lot of variance within the country, but it’s really nothing compared to visiting Europe.

What about the giant colourful letters saying MARIO PARTY makes you think the isn’t a Mario game?

I’m assuming the person you’re imagining to be objectively bad is either literally Hitler or a skinhead neonazi with swastika tattoos and a history of violence, right? What about people who joined the Nazi party because the alternative was having their lives destroyed, or the kid with a bad home life who was radicalised by a gang of thugs who are his only friends? They’re both fascists and victims of fascism, where do you draw the line at who should be killed?

Obviously most people agree that WW2 was justified to stop the Nazis conquering the world, but you can’t just say “it’s OK to kill someone because they’re X”, because then you just need to label whoever you dislike as part of that out-group and suddenly you’ve justified killing whoever you want.

It’s never fine to say “it’s fine to kill all X”. You need to stop fascists, but you can do that without fucking killing anyone you’ve decided is evil.

they are when the folks they killed were fascists

Ah but it’s OK because the people I killed were all baddies!

I’m in Britain, things did get very slightly less bad this year!

Hey Uncle Sam, the USA isn’t the whole universe!

Well the other thing is that it’s very difficult to instantly tell from a pseudonymous internet comment whether the writer is a normal person up for a civilised discussion or a troll just looking to wind people up. And no offence, but you sounded pretty pro-brexit so not unreasonable to suspect you were a troll!

Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.

Whether or not you’re intending to do this your comments do come off a little bit like that. I don’t really like the term that much as people often use it to dismiss any further discussion, but it could be why the other commenters don’t want to chat.

Alright, alright, the shurethra if you want to get technical
