A joke, it indicates a joke made by a stand up. You know, comedy. It’s not a confession of deeply held beliefs, jfc.

Looks like my Lions are for real! 34 points so far against the league’s best defense is pretty reassuring going forward. But holy hell, Myles Garrett is a scary guy to face.

The false choice of either you’re a Zionist or you want to drive Jews out of Israel is so lazy and tired at this point.

Binational state, one person one vote, equal rights for all, truth and reconciliation. There’s your third choice, and there are many more.

They crushed the Lions the last time around, so it’d be the ultimate test. Considering how they looked against the Packers I’m managing my expectations. At least they’re not going in 0-2.

52 points is certainly far from a dud. It was kinda freaky last week that they were that bad with all of that talent in the offense. Now I look forward to the rest of the season. But it’s going to be a rough season, starting with the Ravens next week.

28 points in the first half, that looks more like the Lions I know and love. And it looks like TeSlaa’s just going to be a highlight reel every time he touches the ball.

Mandelson was sacked because of the release of the birthday book by Epstein’s estate, not by the government. The government did a “release” before that, but it looks like just a couple per cent was anything new. When people call for info to be released, they’re probably most likely asking the government that’s supposedly working for the people, not the paedo king’s estate.

The assumption is perhaps that the estate has zero interest in releasing stuff damaging to themselves, while the government theoretically should be different.

Theoretically is the operative word here, at least for me. The government is staffed by the paedo king’s associates, and they are never releasing anything. So there’s never going to be anything released worth chewing and swallowing.

But it is entertaining to watch Trump not be in control of the narrative and squirm

Chichewa speakers were the people having trouble distinguishing the two when I was there, at least when it comes to words from other languages. I know that they can pronounce both R and L, they just often swapped the sounds

Haven’t been back for many years, but growing up, there was a McIran in Teheran. Where’s McDonar? And why the name? Döner’s called Turkish kebab in Iran, no?

Also, note the poor planning leading to having to shoehorn in the Malawi part. Man, Malawians are just the best.

Grace is one of a kind, such a fantastic artist. Her cover to “Island Life” is one of the greatest album covers ever, has been on my wall for years.

I think that all of those have some impact on the levels of nor-epinephrine and/or dopamine in your system, which also impacts ADHD as far as I understand. I take bupropion hydrochloride (Wellbutrin in the US) for a combination of depression and adhd. It’s mild compared to the stimulants I think. Where I live, doctors do everything they can in order to avoid prescribing addictive substances, including stimulants.

Addiction to porn is not a real thing. No reputable source classifies compulsive viewing of porn as an addiction as far as I know. These people just find it to be a convenient excuse for their compulsions.

This amazing man was a Social Democrat! Nowadays, the actual left party is far to the right of where he was in the seventies. That’s how far the window has shifted. His speech on prejudice still gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. Palme was a rare gem.

That sounds like a clumsy way to do it. It’s difficult to argue that refusal to do your job isn’t intentional fuckery. But I can think of many creative ways of just being hapless at your job. Also, it seems very odd if the employee could just fire you for any reason and then demand payment. I mean, considering that the costs they demand to be paid back generally is higher than the actual cost for the employer, I can see business ‘opportunities’ where they just give you the training and immediately fire you afterwards for any arbitrary reason, and make a profit in the process. Sounds wild.

Ok, maybe my brain is malfunctioning, but how would this play out if the employee just said, “ok, then I’m going to be an absolute nuisance at work until you fire me”?

Kind of reminds me of this beautiful poem:

"…And I will leave. but the birds will stay, singing:

and my garden will stay, with its green tree,

and its white water well…

Many afternoons the skies will be calm and blue,

and the bells in the belfry will chime,

like they’re chiming this very afternoon.

The people who have loved me will die,

and the town will burst anew every year.

And in the corner of my green, flowering whitewashed garden,

my spirit will wander nostalgic from tree to well.

And I will leave,

and I’ll be lonely, without a home,

without a green tree, without a white water well,

without calm and blue skies…

And the birds will stay, singing."

-“El viaje definitivo”, Juan Ramón Jiménez

Your first reply to me was “shut the fuck up you smug fuck head”, while I still haven’t called you any name, and you’re calling for the moderators to permaban me? That’s… pathetic. Grow a spine, that might make the comment section more intelligible

Your an Aussie, calling yourself a European. That’s how your society is different. Other people generally consider themselves to belong to the countries they inhabit, not be from another continent entirely. But the anglo settler colonial nations still call themselves European.
