What a hot pile of garbled mess… I envy your confidence talking about things that you evidently have absolutely no idea about.

Great idea! Let’s also expel Italy with its fascist government, or France where the nazi woman got 40+% of the votes last time, or the Dutch and their largest faction in their parliament that happens to be far right. Shall I continue?

We promise it won’t happen again, but when it does happen again, it still won’t matter.

Rest assured that when it does, we will make every effort to promise once more that it won’t happen again.

I don’t think it’s the wearing of nappies that is worthy of ridicule. You are right, it’s a medical question, people who need it should wear it, and everybody else should just stfu about it. (Except perhaps in the odd case when medical conditions do come into question while assessing the fitness of a candidate to an office, especially such a high stakes and demanding one as the potus, but that’s by the by).

What is chilling is the followers of Trump who try to make a virtue out of it. And ridiculous. Laughing at them is the right response because the other option is utter despair.

A bowel movement if you will…

Cocksuckers!

I was listening to a podcast on moral philosophy (wouldn’t you wanna be as cool as me??), and one suggestion that’s stuck with me was the morality of, trigger warning,

As in, would we as a society want to permit such things, knowing that they could potentially save humans from actual harm if they offer an outlet that scratches an itch? On the other hand, would they bring forth more harmful desires in a greater number of potential perpetrators, leading to even more harm?

Anyway, I’m glad it’s not my job to contemplate such disturbing topics.

Cannon fodder is a gender neutral job.

In the seventies and eighties the communist leaders of Hungary, when talking about the realities of the time introduced some terms to explain the difference of the real world from the ideals.

“Socialism that exists”
“Socialism that works”

The jokes immediately started coming, pointing out that the socialism that exists does not work, while the socialism that works does not exist.

Flour is a common ingredient for thickening stews etc. Not OP, but if I had to guess I’d wager that the flour soaked up all the moisture in the pan, then dried out and started to burn.

Not related, but I was reminded of this old joke: what’s the difference between God and a doctor? God doesn’t think he’s a doctor.

Not this one, thanks for the recommendation, but I’ve heard White Wine In The Sun, and that’s touched me even though I’ve spent all my Christmases in the Northern hemisphere. 🙂

Great tune, too.

This question reminds me of Tom Minchin’s observations of alternative medicine. By definition, alternative medicine has either not been proved to work, or has been proved not to work.

You know what we call alternative medicine that has been proved to work?

Medicine.

An absolutely horrifying crime, and I’m not trying to make light of an awful tragedy, but some of these names sound like they were randomly generated from a Hollywood database that includes names like Scarlett Johansson, Eddie Redmayne, Daniel Radcliffe, Amanda Seyfried, etc.

Corvids are the shit man! We’re one opposable feather away from becoming the number two most dominant species on the planet.

Ask them while you can.

All the more important to remind the genociders that they were the genocidee in living memory.

This is one of the very last Holocaust Memorial Days with some actual survivors still present. Those who were 16 when they were liberated are 95 now. Not many who were younger then actually survived, and not many who were older then are still alive now.
