The number of men who are very sure that romantasy isn't fantasy, and shouldn't ever be shelved with it, is wearying.

Having contempt for Harry Potter is reasonable, but for different reasons.

They are very sure Europe has been invaded by Muslims.

I'd expect the Canadian to be somewhat less likely to deck me, though perhaps not these days.

Good old sibling rivalry. Yorkshire and Lancashire are similar in their fighting and their unification against southerners.

If, apparently, your reading is about showing off rather than enjoying yourself.

I saw a video of a guy running up with a fire extinguisher, and the vape shop employees trying to stop him. It did indeed make things worse.

Maybe we needed it before, but just didn't have it? I'm very sure there were overworked, exhausted parents in the past.

Some of my American classmates in France were pretending to be Canadian.

That's great, but the dad who's right there could be making things easier right now.

There are no safe states, especially not if even the Democrat candidates are transphobic.

If he's managed to get rich off running those businesses, it sounds more like the town built him.

Or, indeed, a look at our prison system, where we lock people up but can't keep them safe.

No, but more evidence is helpful for those who don't want to see it.

They're apparently referred to as "unarmed" when not carrying ammunition, which is the claim.

I mean, it was either the US or Israel. There's not really any other candidates.

I honestly don't know which of these options is true, but either should be disqualifying.

Every few months, my facebook has a "does anyone have access to [x paper]?" from someone nerding about something, and it will generally be successful.

Yeah, this is relevant to my interests.

LLMs will absolutely feed and validate narcissists, along with paranoia and delusions. They are basically validation machines.

Loud religion can certainly make me wary, but there's a lot more to it than "religion bad, atheism good"

Also that woman’s outfit is from about 1890

Yes, it is.

If Labour wanted us to support them, they shouldn’t have treated us like shit.

"School", ici, c'est plutôt l'université, et apparemment il manque complètement de curiosité intellectuel. Il veut juste un diplôme pour accéder à des boulots.

Why are you making up random shit that still doesn't justify him being beaten or abandoned?

He didn't pay to go to the BAFTAs, he was a nominee. And you said that Tourette's in general is fake.
