Wojacks are quite interesting from a linguistic/anthropological perspective because of how they bring body language back into a medium traditionally divorced from it, and how that highlights just how much of our interpersonal communication depends on body language.

So people give me weird looks when I say things like “everyone should have their kids taken immediately after birth to be raised in the childcare communes”, but when an “anthropologist” says it it’s all right huh

Rutte spoke in Brussels after a high-level South Korean delegation, including top intelligence and military officials as well as senior diplomats, briefed the alliance’s 32 national ambassadors at Nato headquarters.

The South Koreans showed no evidence of North Korean troops in Kursk, according to European officials who were present for the 90-minute exchange

Smells like Saddam’s WMD’s all of a sudden.

No, the generic you doesn’t have the history and context of “you people”, and even if it did, using “you people” to refer to groups that people choose to join (i.e the British Government) isn’t a problematic use. The whole point of "you people"being used against ethnic minorities is that it lumps people together as if their skin colour automatically means they follow specific ideologies. The point of an organisation like a government is that they are all working under the same ideology.

Generic you, as in institutions of British government, not specific you, as in Niel Basu.

he said: “To leave that lying around anywhere on foreign soil is the most unbelievably reckless disregard for human life I’ve ever witnessed.”

bro wait until you find out what you’ve been doing in the middle east

People love to talk about self reliance without thinking about it too hard - you’re not on your own, you’re entirely dependent on cooperating with others for your way of life. You did not builld you house, your car, your clothes, your bed. You did not grow your food, you did not mine the oil in your plastic products, nor refine it into them. You do not generate the electricity that powers your home and devices, you did not build the generator or infrastructure that brings power to you. Even the smallest things - the cutlery you use to eat, the soap you wash with, the bed you sleep on - were made by others for your use.

Self reliance is a capitalist myth that’s inherently disproven by modern civilisation.

He didn’t ask about hypothetical alternative candidates, they asked what principle you hold that would prevent you from voting for her - i.e, what action would Kamala Harris have to take to make you feel she was as bad as or worse than Trump? Would you support her if she nuked Iran? France? Minnesota? If she had immigrants shot? Your family? Would you still vote for Kamala Harris in the upcoming election against Donald Trump if she personally executed your family?

Action to stop e-bikes and scooters being ridden on pavements

So he’s gonna push investment in cycling infrastructure, right?

An end to ‘street scars’, where gaps in street paving are replaced with tarmac

Can’t wait to get to see where he gets the money to replace all the missing granite slabs around Leeds, never mind whatever expensive materials other cities were originally built with

A “galvanising” national goal to reduce the amount of litter

So he’s going to push installing more public bins, right?

Councils to sort dumping of fridges, mattresses and broken cars

They… they do. Like you have to request it but they’ll send a truck round to collect them.

Action to stop phone boxes and street furniture being covered in graffiti

Oh come the fuck on, the graffiti is the only decoration we have left.

No, the argument is that Pizza was a southern italian proletarian food:

Before the war, Grandi tells me, pizza was only found in a few southern Italian cities, where it was made and eaten in the streets by the lower classes.

Someone else is gonna have to work out how that makes it not italian.

Me, planning consequences:

He could have stabbed it but chose not to I guess. Maybe he thought that would be more cruel?

Yup, that’s some bonafide player logic right there.

I’m pretty certain it’s not that they want to lose, but that they think they’ve already won. Kamala appeals to everyone Joe does, and she’s a black woman! In their eyes, they’ve hit the candidate jackpot, locking in the progressive vote without having to change course and introduce progressive policies.

It’s Hillary all over again.

My Paladin got eaten by a purple worm once. Then spat back out. Then he jumped back inside because disadvantage and stomach acid was easier to deal with than its basic attacks.

You mean people have repeatedly pointed out you don’t hold the values of the person you named yourself after? Should that not prompt at least a little introspection?

When I was chilling out one evening with some people I was volunteering with, someone pointed out another person was wearing odd socks, and they replied “no I’m not, they’re the same species.”
He was right, they were - different colours, but the same style and pattern otherwise. So for over a decade now I’ve exclusively bought patterned sets of socks so I can mismatch them and accuse people of sock racism when they try to call it out.

Pathfinder goblins stay winning.
