What if I’m actually a set of traffic lights and the AI can’t work out what I am from my selfie?

The spectacular level of cognitive dissonance required to simultaneously not believe in man-made climate change but also believe in evil scientists changing the weather.

The idea is called Hypernormalisation. Everyone knows what they’re being told is a lie, most don’t care, some do but a powerless to do anything about it, the rest are actively perpetuating the lie.

Excellent documentary about it by Adam Curtis which is watchable here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr7T07WfIhM

I live in a rural area and speak to lots of farmers. Chatting to one of my neighbours in the pub about it and they’re righteously angry about it.

Drill down into their assets though and they have: modest sheep flock and attendant land, equipment etc, large family home, profitable machining and engineering business, separate from the farm, 4 other properties that they let their children live in rent free or rent out to other tenants.

I do think that the government is using a hammer to tighten a screw, but my sympathy ends for farmers when they’re hoarding assets to that degree and that isn’t even particularly large when I compare it to some of the families I work for. One I can name employs around 200 people in a major dairy operation with dozens of old family farms consolidated into the ownership of 3 siblings.

Land and farm assets like animals, equipment etc should be exempt so that they’re not just bought up by corporations. The rest should be subject to the same level of taxation as the rest of the country has to pay.

Except for that brief period where you turned up 2 years late to the party and proceeded to take all of the credit. Yes.

Ah, the old shit wank

Hitler was also whacked out of his mind on methamphetamine most of the time, just like this jackass

Anyone can lookup prices, please show me where on those prices it shows a volume or weight of coffee that you can expect to receive. Unless it shows that, you can’t compare shit.

You also don’t know what a straw man argument is.

This was clearly an opportunity lost, objectively speaking.

LOL do you think Dunkin Donuts give a flying f about one customer possibly coming back in the future and maybe buying an extra coffee some time because they got a bit extra?

The cashier is doing what they’ve been told to do by their minimum wage, shitty job and f them for not breaking the rules and maybe even getting fired for not giving a stranger free coffee?

What a degen

No pig ever chocked someone to death in the street for the crime of being born poor and black.

Not even Kool Keith would try to force brought and forgot to rhyme.

Octopus isn’t a Latin derived word but Greek. You can’t apply Latin grammar to Greek words.

There is no absolutely correct plural for octopus and in any respect, no grammatical rules should be prescriptivist (you must do this) but prescriptivist (people tend to do this)

Basically red. The names for orange and purple are pretty recent inventions, linguistically speaking. That’s why we call them red onions and red grapes when they’re purple and most “red” birds are actually orange.

Bold to assume we’ll get to third generation descendants.
