Ready to get knocked up and then knocked about? That’s the Chav-life.

I used to be able to tell what refresh rate they were set to because everything below a certain point flickered. I’d ask people why their screens were flickering and they couldn’t see it.

Can you name a single person who is threatened by a democratically decided punishment for organizing genocide.

If I understand your question correctly: Radovan Karadžić

1. A human was involved in the process at some point
2. Your comment was “threatening violence or physical harm”
3. In my opinion there’s nothing wrong with threatening Nazis with “violence or physical harm” - they’re Nazis, their entire schtick is genocide, how do people think that they’re supposed to be dealt with, tea and cakes? Chamberlain tried that, didn’t work. What did work was killing a whole bunch of them. For my entire childhood and most of my adult life people were lauded for the effort of killing Nazis or dying in the attempt.

Whoever owns the fountains owns the money.

If someone throws money into a fountain and then wishes then that in itself is a complete transaction with whichever supernatural entity is being bargained with.

I am assuming that any entity which is powerful enough to grant wishes is also powerful enough to hang onto the money if that should be its wish.

Alternatively it’s a quaint custom that people engage in as a form of custom and the pleasure comes with a link to the tradition.

The periodic clearing out of the fountains is both necessary maintenance and a form of income that pays for said maintenance. No one is really harmed by this.

The police have, however, claimed that the woman was having an affair with another person and was beaten up by him and his family members.

That’s the same fucking crime you uniformed dunces!

The butter won’t make him fat but the pasta will.

If you’re browsing Lemmy, on your phone, in work then really you should be curating your feed a bit better.

Just have to make our globe working model dense enough to distort space-time and then spin it at a thousand miles an hour. 'Course this will require a working model of the sun to power the working model of the Earth.

I sure hope so.

Much as I find it difficult to sympathise with bureaucracies, can’t help but feel the Frivolous Returns dept. might be the alter-ego of the ‘Now, Don’t Be A Cunt’ department.

Dear Sir/Madam

We wrote to you upon receipt of your tax return informing you that it had been passed to our Frivolous Returns department for further examination. That examination is now complete.

It is with regret that we have to inform you that you are clown shoes. We think it is possible that the doctor may have mistakenly certified a placenta in your case.

As unlikely as it seems that you are actually earning a taxable income you should probably pass this matter over to a competent adult to help you with the self-assessment process.

Clown shoes, bud.

I mean, if there were a serious prospect of winning it would pay for itself. Unfortunately it would probably involve the Supreme Court paying for itself.

I’m guessing that pretty much no one would be allowed to beat a credit card company in court, it would open too big a can of worms.

At least it would enable the sovcits to see what a magic get out of jail free card actually looks like from the front row.

I’m not an American so I don’t know if this is possible but could not a lawyer start a class action using all the sovereign citizens as complainants against a credit card company on the basis that said company did not do their due diligence before issuing cards to people so unhinged they couldn’t possibly have entered into a contract with someone that required informed consent?

I feel like putting these people on the stand for about five minutes each would give ample supporting evidence of the proposition.

Back in the day you would have asked for a flattop.

You could always save a picture to your phone and then ask them to do that. They’ll probably still ask if the length is alright but it’s up to you to instruct them from there.

Man, fuck that site. Won’t allow you to decline cookies.

A site-blocking law would let copyright owners “request, in court, that Internet service providers block access to websites dedicated to sharing illegal, stolen content,” he said. Rivkin claimed that in the US, piracy “steals hundreds of thousands of jobs from workers and tens of billions of dollars from our economy rich people’s yacht money, including more than one billion in theatrical ticket sales.”

I miss the old rotten library. Iain M. Banks too.
