The rubber bands are also made in china.

I’m not implying anything, I’m telling you why your denial is unbelievable: you haven’t said anything to imply you regret being racist, you’re just brushing it under the carpet as something you thought was funny. That’s not what people who aren’t racist say.
- Comment on Ban for upvotes is real here? 4 days ago:
Looks like once I used a pejorative term, just because I found it amusing (without knowing it was a racial slur in some countries).
Maybe if you showed any sort of contrition instead of continually providing excuses as to why it’s not a problem people would believe it was just a mistake.

i-think-that harrassing fascists out of your community when the admins won’t do anything is good actually.
- Comment on UK | Man loses sex discrimination claim after boss says ‘sorry boys’ at awards do 2 months ago:
No, before arguing back. Think first, then argue. Or, in this case, don’t argue if you can’t actually articulate an argument.
- Comment on UK | Man loses sex discrimination claim after boss says ‘sorry boys’ at awards do 2 months ago:
…she was actively revealing the winners identity. Please fucking think for a moment before arguing back.
- Comment on UK | Man loses sex discrimination claim after boss says ‘sorry boys’ at awards do 2 months ago:
Sure, but she didn’t use it for the same reason you’re using “she” and “her” instead of “they” and “their” - she knew the winner’s gender.
- Comment on UK | Man loses sex discrimination claim after boss says ‘sorry boys’ at awards do 2 months ago:
Gender was needlessly injected by the English language, which requires gendered pronouns. The boss had no choice about referring to the winner as “she”, she just chose to comment on it.
- Comment on UK: Human rights group threatens legal action over alleged forced labour if authorities greenlight stock listing of Chinese fast-fashion retailer Shein 2 months ago:
Last year, SUG dispatched this same dossier to the FCA. It allegedly demonstrates a substantial risk of forced labour within Shein’s supply chain, a factor that SUG argues should preclude the retailer from listing on the LSE.
So no actual evidence of forced labour, just a possibility it exists.

Interesting, I seem to have the opposite condition - something breaks, then they ask me to look at it and by the time I get there it’s working perfectly again.
- Comment on wild seals 5 months ago:
If a cat weighed 300 pounds, had the intelligence of a toddler and the morals of a seagull, it would be a dog. It’s just a dog. Seals are exactly sea puppers, people just don’t know what a pupper really is.
- Comment on Russia to deploy 10,000 North Korean troops against Ukraine within ‘weeks’, Pentagon says 5 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Chief thought Skripal poisoning could be 'act of war' 5 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Chief thought Skripal poisoning could be 'act of war' 5 months ago:
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

Crocodile, shark, pill bug… They’re all creatures that are now famed as “living fossils”. Even looks like a coeleocanth fin in one of the panels.
