I presume your irony meter exploded because you asked it to measure something that isn’t in fact ironic at all?
- Comment on Sizewell C power station to be built as part of UK’s £14bn nuclear investment 2 days ago:
What happens when it’s not windy or sunny? Burning gas. Sure it’s expensive and will be late but nuclear is not in stead of more renewables, it’s in addition to. They also pledged to double the amount of offshore wind (which already makes up around 20% of UK energy) in the same announcement.

- Comment on The joy of quitting a shit job with an asshole boss 1 week ago:
While yes it is a legally binding contract, the penalties must be laid out in that same contract and will usually be limited to any direct losses as a result of an employee quitting without notice which are, by definition, limited.
If the reverse happens, the employee would be entitled to their pay for the remainder of the notice period.

I can’t think of a single thing any police and crime commissioner has done other than wank away money, go on the telly saying how important they are, and come up with hare brained ideas like this.

- Comment on Rule 34 rule 2 weeks ago:
Because as I said, people with an interest in CSAM tend to escalate in their behaviour. Most don’t jump straight into child pornography but start with less serious things like jailbait and non-sexualised images of children etc. It doesn’t take a huge leap to see the same pathway with images of fictional children.
I’m not suggesting that everyone into this material will go on to abuse children or start to consume actual CSAM but there’s a non-zero amount of actual paedophiles who started their journey with this exact material.

the majority of horny humans would choose a 9(?) Yr old.
Selection bias, it’s a large number of people who are actively seeking out R34 content, we also don’t know if it’s an actual majority because we don’t have a total number, just these top figures.
- Comment on Rule 34 rule 2 weeks ago:
I’m normally an anti-slippery slope person but there’s a definite escalatory nature to how paedophiles operate, it’s easy to see how images of fictional children can evolve into images of actual children.

Er, that’s not the most worrying thing about someone jerking to Lisa Simpson.
What you need to worry about is the fact she’s 8 years old.
- Comment on A “victim blaming” row has broken out on social media, after a cyclist uploaded footage of what he described as the “closest pass I’ve ever seen” 2 weeks ago:
Being angry at a cyclist for not using a cycle lane is like basing angry for a blue badge user not parking in a disabled bay. It’s an extra provision, not a requirement to be used. There’s any number of reasons why it might not be safe to be riding in the cycle lane, the large number of bikes already being there in the clip are a perfect example.

Dancing baby was everywhere, truly the first Internet driven viral phenomenon. And yes, it did feature in Ally McBeal which was a huge TV show mid-late 90s which goes to illustrate how truly viral the dancing baby meme was at a time where Internet usage was still limited to only a minority of people with access to desktop computers.

As a Brit, beans and cheese on toast is probably my cheat meal. I don’t go overboard though and only have it once or twice a day.

I mean there is a reason, and that reason is they can get people to buy it twice.
It’s a shitty reason for consumers but a viable one for publishers nonetheless.
- Comment on If a gay man and lesbian woman have sex, is that gay or straight? 5 weeks ago:
Hetero - from the Greek ἕτερος meaning different or other
Homo - from the Greek ὁμός meaning same
Irregardless of the orientation of the people involved, if its two different gendered people having intercourse it’s heterosexual intercourse. It just wouldn’t be any fun for the people involved.

Very fun.
- Comment on Cutie patootie 1 month ago:
Most purebreeds are genetic backwaters now with large numbers of congenital defects endemic. Dalmatians being born blind and having seizures being an obvious example.
Then when you add on the characteristics demanded by kennel club “breed standards” you end up with frankenstein creations not able to support themselves. Daschunds with legs so short their belly is constantly rubbing on the ground and they get infected sores, bloodhounds with such drooping jowels that they get injured, bulldogs that can’t support their own weight. Mongrelise your pets!
- Comment on Sycamore Gap tree destroyed in 'moronic mission', court told 1 month ago:
This is the sort of crime that putting people in public stocks should be brought back for.
Imagine these two pieces of shit locked in a pillory, at the site of the felled tree, while thousands of people queue up to tell them what seawards they are.
- Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game 1 month ago:
Factorio. If you enjoyed Satisfactory you should check out the game that created the genre. They have an excellent demo and although it’s relatively expensive compared to similar games, it’s the best one and runs like an absolute dream even when things get huge where a lot of similar games slow down.
- Comment on HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to war 1 month ago:
As someone who just spent the last 30 years in a huge galaxy spanning war to try and seize Terminal Egress from a 7 strong federation and then had a 10x Unbidden appear in Fen Habbanis that produced 85% of my alloys crippling my ability to fight them off for 20 years. I second this recommendation.
- Comment on 11-year-old boy died cycling home after bus driver "beeped and startled him" before collision — but coroner concludes driving in line with Highway Code 1 month ago:
I was getting something from the sliding rear door of my van a few weeks ago. Some driver, being courteous in their own mind, bipped the horn while going past startled me causing me to hit my head and fall back into the road being only a fraction of a second from him rolling over my head with his back wheel.

The moral high grounding of liberal minded people is one of the reasons right wing populists are gaining ground globally. Rather than slamming the Guardian for not always aligning 100% with your views, why not see if the content of the actual article is worth your fury.
