In other words, they’re only interested in punishing the ones that get caught, and they’ll only process it well after it’s happened so they can just deliver a slap on the wrist.

By definition, you can only punish the ones that get caught.

I don’t.

I’m a bit clumsy (ADHD) and having a cable attached to my body attached to a €1000 device is asking for trouble. I hate the cable getting tangled up, caught on things etc.

None of the icons in this meme are classed as “unskilled labour”.

A farmer? a bricklayer? are you fucking joking?

Do you have any idea how much a bricky gets paid. Probably more than you.

Another classic case of arrogant internet socialists with zero real world experience letting the mask slip.

OK, but why do you think you’re paying teenagers to work in McDonalds and not courting the best neuro-surgeons and rocket scientists?

What is it about their relative skillsets?

Except there are plenty of jobs where ten years of experience doesn’t equate to ten years better at the job.

There’s an upper limit to how efficient you can become at say - cleaning offices or picking up litter, or picking apples.

The cost of a new hire versus someone with ten years worth of experience just isn’t worth it.

It’s weird that he thinks of it as “blackmail” though, and a thing that’s happening to “him”.

Blackmail is when someone has damning evidence against you and they threaten to release it unless you do what they want.

We saw the damning evidence. It’s been released. This is the reaction.

True. But it was left wingers who killed millions of Russians in gulags, who committed the Cambodian genocides, the long marches and purges of Maoist communism.

So maybe there’s something to be said for moderation eh?

One side is pure good and does nothing wrong! The other side is evil!

Mastadon is chock a block with far left crazies.

Jesus fucking christ mate turn it in.

He did a comedy show where he repeatedly professed respect fir trans people but criticised the way some people behave, and you’re acting like he “isn’t fond or minorities getting rights”

It’s just fucking psychopathic gibberish with you lot.

If this guy was white he’d be racist against blacks.

What the fuck does that even mean?

He’s black.

Calm the fuck down.

It doesn’t even matter. Hard right and hard left are all just fucking nut job low IQ idiots with different flavours of asshole populism.

Horseshoe theory is as clear as day to anyone not on the extremes.

I’ve only ever heard left wingers claim that compromise is ‘blasphemy’ or that “center politics” is just for people who are too afraid to admit they are right wing.

Fuck, there’s even memes abotu being centrist is being OK with half the holocaust or the KKK.

Your comment is exactly the insane shrill partisan hackery that is the problem.

BAM - just immediately guns blazing accusing the other side of what your side is guilty of.

N95 was my phone when my friend got the iPhone One. I remember uselessly arguing that my N95 also played videos and music and all that iPhone stuff as well… Except, it was so fucking slow to take videos.

I remember standing in the street and seeing a massive huge brawl outside of a pub, loads of people doing all sorts of crazy shit and I was standing there desperately trying to record a video while the shitty, sluggish N95 missed it all.

That experience really scarred me because now I’m obsessed with the absolute quick-draw features of modern phones - like the Google Pixel.

I don’t even know if this is true, but I’d love to know more.

Maybe we’re worth £4 a month, but they just decided to pull a higher price out of their ass to dissuade everyone from paying.

I suspect the small amount of people who decide to pay will cost more in infrastructure, and causes more headaches to meta anyway.

I guess it depends on how big the block is to begin with.

I’m not buying multiple kilograms of cheese in one setting.

Have you ever heard of a “knife” before?

We provide a good example.

Russians have become masters of knowing how to lie in such a way as their answer tells the real truth.

You plow his British people can be very polite and they mean “fuck you”. A bit like that.

The amount it people leaving poverty is happening so quickly it’s amazing.

Compare abject poverty rates of now to 60 years ago and 100 years ago.

What’s the point of being progressiv if you never accept that progress actually happens?

Well that’s the the point. They don’t want to take Palestinian refugees because they’ve attacked Egypt and caused various problems.

The point they are making is “we don’t want them, and neither do you, so don’t try and take the moral of high ground”

Israel has tried to give Gaza ti Egypt. They won’t take it.
