No. I think .ml is becoming some kind of bogey man. At the end of the day I think any instance is gonna have its own slant and bias; which isn’t a problem for me, personally.

… because he was stopped in the middle of the process of attempting (trying) to take a human life illegally - by his own written admission and actions that day. He was attempting to murder someone. He had picked a target, gathered intelligence, arrived with otherwise legal weaponry, written a manifesto, concealed himself and in all likelihood would have taken the shot when the opportunity presented itself. Whether he got to pull the trigger or not is immaterial - he has already begun attempting to kill someone by setting his plan in motion.

Simpler times, my friend.

Yeah, I’m Welsh myself. I just wondered how somebody who struggled with Wmffre / Humphrey would do with the whole Wrwgwai thing. Some English speakers get it immediately others get a headache thinking about it.

Having read your comment I’d like your views on “Wrwgwai” - the South American country of Uruguay.

Your final sentence is painfully true.

That’s exactly it, as far as I’m concerned. Gates caused more harm by inflicting his monopoly on the world and stifling competition and innovation then he can undo with all his ill gotten gains. As for the Epstein link? JFC. I don’t even want to think about that… The only redeeming feature he has that made him appear closer to human was his ability to hurdle/jump an office chair in his younger days.

An actual dog whistle sounds at a frequency (?) inaudible to humans but is heard by dogs. The “secret phrase” can be said out loud, but like the whistle, only the big dogs hear it - the rest of the humans don’t. Does that make sense? It’s used as an analogy.

That’s a nice word. I like to use Pritani but might mix it up a bit from now on.

Tell me about it. Immigrants? From Britain? Taking over (culturally) a foreign land. You couldn’t make it up. I once witnessed some drunk Bretons speaking to some drunk Welsh in their respective languages… and “kind of” understanding each other.

The words that ultimately gave us “Britain” have been in use for about 2,000 years, give or take a century or two. Politically and culturally a tremendous lot has happened in the meantime. Which is probably why we’re left with this almost indecipherable mine field.

I bow to your superior knowledge and intimate understanding of this particular case. Many thanks.

No. It was not her choice that caused this outcome. How do I know? I read the article: “ … he had been put on a delayed vaccination programme.” The woman had surely suffered enough losing her child - let’s not make it worse.

Sidestep the whole issue by saying: “Snitches end-up in ditches.”

Bobby Fingers. The dude makes dioramas (models) but his videos are so much more… there is as much artistry and talent in the video as there is in the model. Phenomenal skills and entertainment. I’m not even remotely interested in model making.

Just as an aside: unfortunately some of the Taliban are actually very smart - in an academic sense. Some of them have gone to the best schools and universities our world has to offer… and then decided the dark ages are where we should be. Go figure. But, to clarify, they aren’t all backwards goat herders from the middle of nowhere.

Some people drop-out whilst others infiltrate and take over…

Yes, I believe that’s true. With the exception of the make of your shoes and whatever (non uniform) coat you might wear everybody looks about the same. Almost like all children are equal…

The UK has rocked uniforms for quite a while I believe. It’s not political. It just identifies you as a pupil of a specific school. Anyone who skips school needs to carry a change of clothes to avoid being - potentially - busted.

Absolute freak show of an organisation. (Theirs, not yours.) The first time I read about it I thought it was onion-level satire but, sadly, it wasn’t…
