Comment Re:If only they didn't burn so much fossil fuels (Score -1) 83

The lady doth protest too much. You're splitting hairs to avoid the embarrassment of being outed as a Democrat.

You're a straw manning, ad hominem spewing Democrat.

Back to where this started: I'd be embarrassed to be a Democrat, too. You're clearly embarrassed to be associated with the Democrat party clown show. You've always voted Democrat. You're a Democrat.

Like you claim, I've also been registered Independent most of my life but if you called me a Republican I wouldn't rail against it for multiple lengthy posts because I am a moderate conservative which is often synonymous with being Republican to most people. I wouldn't be embarrassed if someone thought I was Republican in the same way you are embarrassed being a Democrat,

You're a Democrat. Revel in your party's clown show.

Since you're obviously deeply concerned with labels, as Democrats generally are, I am opposed to parties entirely. I've always believed the party system is one of the worst aspects of our system. They're not in the USC yet they have somehow made themselves effectively enshrined in the system. If you were intellectually honest (lolol, I've been reading your silly posts for years) you wouldn't cry so hard about what party you're in (Democrat) but that parties shouldn't exist at all.

As far as the proper use of rhetorical terms, you're just wrong. You need a better education than some random web pages you copied some Latin words from before you try to "educate" your superiors when using those big words you think you understand. But don't. I'm not here to teach the unteachable. Few Democrats are teachable. Including you.

Why do you use sucking cock as a slam? You hate gay men? Homophobic much? Typical. Conservatives judge people based on their merit. Democrats judge people based on immutable traits like sexual preference, skin color, where they were born, who their parents are, etc.

It's also weird how you think being wealthy means you can't be a Democrat. The Democrats are the party of the rich and have been for a long time. Union bosses support your Democrat party. Union workers do not. Not anymore. My parents were Democrat voters. My dad was even a card carrying communist during the McCarthy era Abe got grabbed for a trial. But they grew out of it.

Stop fighting so hard against the obvious. When you vote 99% Democrat... you're a Democrat. And an ill educated, Dunning-Kruger, homophobic one at that. Yermom would be proud!

Submission + - Chernobyl's Radiophile Fungus (sciencealert.com)

j_f_chamblee writes: There is a black fungus thriving on the outside of the sarcophagus of Chernobyl's infamous Reactor 4. And it may be thriving because of the high radiation, not in spite of it. From the article:

"That fungus is called Cladosporium sphaerospermum, and some scientists think its dark pigment – melanin – may allow it to harness ionizing radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. This proposed mechanism is even referred to as radiosynthesis."

Submission + - UK to remove right to trial by jury for most charges (theguardian.com)

DesScorp writes: The UK Ministry of Justice will move to eliminate the right to trial by jury for all but the most serious charges in a controversial overhaul of the British court system:

Criminals will be stopped from “gaming the system” by choosing trial by jury in order to increase the chances of proceedings collapsing, the courts minister has said, promising to enact radical changes to limit jury trials by the next election. Drug dealers and career criminals were “laughing in the dock” knowing cases can take years to come to trial, Sarah Sackman said, while warning that inaction would be a road to “chaos and ruin”. Ministers will legislate to remove the right to trial by jury for thousands of cases in one of the biggest and most controversial overhauls of the justice system in England and Wales in generations – promising the changes will significantly shrink the court backlog by 2029. The Ministry of Justice is braced for a backlash from barristers and the judiciary as it presses ahead with the measures to tackle a backlog of nearly 80,000 cases, which will create a proposed new judge-only division of the crown court to hear some cases. Sackman said the “stakes are incredibly high” as she prepared to announce early next month that vast numbers of cases will now be heard by judges and magistrates rather than juries, a response to recommendations in a review by Sir Brian Leveson.


Submission + - Man jailed over possession of 'extreme' music

An anonymous reader writes: Man jailed over possession of 'extreme' music

I didn't say you're a communist.

I didn't say you're a coastal elite or any of that other straw man bullshit you put in my mouth.

You're a Democrat.

Have you ever voted for a Republican?

How many not-Democrats have you EVER voted for at ANY level?

Your inability to understand basic English and resort to ad hominem and strawman is because you're a Democrat and a moron. But now I'm being redundant.

You are a Democrat.

Comment I'll tell you what will happen (Score 2) 223

What always happens when you try to block kids from doing anything: they find a way to do it anyway.

We older folks too were "blocked" from doing stuff as kids, pre- and post-internet, and we too did it anyway. And it actually made us smarter, as we had to devise ways around the obstacle.

Kids are smart. This will just make them smarter.

Comment Re:The YouTuber Adam Something (Score -1) 38

A YouTuber? Seriously? We Americans trust the experts. For those who don't know, the rsilvergun account was recently exposed as being a Malaysian, complete with screenshots of zir other social media. Only foreigners think random YouTube channels are more trustworthy than experts. We Americans went through this during covid. People were eatating horse paste! And refusing life saving vaccinations. Oh, how we all laughed when Herman Cain died.

Comment Re:They had a good run. (Score -1) 45

The workers tried overthrowing the government. Jewish Bolsheviks seized power and ruled the country. They then murdered ten million Christians in Ukraine.

This genocide was covered up by the New York Times, who won a Pulitzer Prize that they still proudly display today.

Why do you think Big H was so fixated on invading Russia and eliminating Jews?

The Bolsheviks openly declared their intention of conquering all of Europe. They tried, too, only to be stopped by the valiant Poles at the Vistula.

Everyone knows about H and the six million, but nobody has heard of Yagoda the Jew and the ten million. Make Yagoda famous!

Comment Reviews are mostly bullshit (Score -1) 36

Google reviews are just like Amazon reviews and anywhere else. They're crap and mostly astroturfed by the company themselves.

Adding anonymous reviews won't improve review quality. It'll just leave small businesses unable to defend themselves or respond to random Karens who didn't feel they were treated special enough.

I love seeing bad reviews where the small businesses owner responds and we find out the reviewer was some Karen making shit up or not telling the whole story. This new review system will just encourage more Karens to destroy small local businesses but leave owners unable to respond if they don't know who the Karen is.
