I honestly would’ve thought that an orifice to release waste products came first, but I’m not an evo-devo-nist.

Anxious, but in a titillating sort of way.

Okay, I’m gonna be honest here: That’s one thing that’s never happened to me.

Lots of other… things, yes. But not that one.

You too, buddy. Maybe some day we’ll have a chance to drink an excellent Irish stout (which is obviously ‘all of them’, though my personal preference is Murphy’s) together. That’d be lovely, and not just because of the stout.

No worries, I wouldn’t dream of holding it against you; if anything, you have my respect for owning up to making a simple mistake, which happens to everybody sooner or later - me very much included. Kudos!

This might surprise you, but that didn’t help clearing up anything. If you have an argument to make, make an argument. That way I can either agree with you or retort.

No, I don’t consider listing countries or regions an argument. Denmark, Belgium, French Polynesia. Now you might wonder where I’m going with that, but I’m not going to tell you. I’ll just expect you to read my mind. That’s communication, you see.

I’m sorry, but I have literally no idea what you’re talking about. Who’s robbing what land? Are we talking about Ukraine or Ireland?

Because I’m here talking about Ukraine and the UK.

It’s a sad indictment of the situation that your explanation is still miles better than any other I’ve been able to come up with.

Why… was he even there?

Ah yes. Whataboutism. Suppose a robber acts in defense of a person about to be robbed. That may or may not make them a hypocrite, but it certainly doesn’t make them wrong.

Or would you say it would somehow be more right for the robber to stand back and allow the robbery “because they’re in no position to point fingers”?

It’s easy to be right when you’re have the power, will and utter lack of morals to do anything to ensure reality conforms to your predictions.

Pity they didn’t “predict” a post-scarcity society freed from unnecessary suffering. Imagine what those assholes might have achieved then.

While I don’t mind laissez-faire in principle, that not my favorite anarcho-flavor and I don’t wanna :)

Hell, why even have organic search results at all? Just rank results by how much each site owner is willing to bribe pay. A protection racket for the 21st century.

“That’s a nice website you’ve got there. It’d be a shame if it got no visitors.”

What a waste of bandwidth, energy and time.
