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.

Maybe it’s one of those things where you have to be there at the time.

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.

why would i fucking care about the rest of what you have to say, liar? You’re not here arguing in good faith, why would I bother?

1. assets plural

a. the property of a deceased person subject by law to the payment of his or her debts and legacies

b. the entire property of a person, association, corporation, or estate applicable or subject to the payment of debts

2. ADVANTAGE, RESOURCE

a. an item of value owned

b. assets plural the items on a balance sheet showing the book value of property owned

Hey now, something strange is going on here - see, when I visit that page, there aren’t just 3 items. Now, you wouldn’t be selectively ignoring parts of your own source to paint a certain narrative, would you? Because the 4th item I see is

4 : something useful in an effort to foil or defeat an enemy: such as
a : a piece of military equipment

b : spy

I’m sure you simply… overlooked it in your excitement though. Now you’re aware though, I’m sure you’ll be happy to correct your comments.

To be clear, being a troll or a paid actor doesn’t make you someone’s property.

Ok, I give up, I have no idea if you’re doing a bit. Like I felt kinda confident you were serious, but this leaves me floundering. Purposely obtuse because you’ve talked yourself into such a stupid corner, or just that incredibly obtuse that you unironically think asset means property? Absolutely no way to tell which one it is.

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

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.

I just want to be absolutely clear here, to make sure that you fully understand the question, because your answer suggests you don’t: It’s not couple of weeks a year, it’s just a couple of weeks, right at the start, and it’s not a holiday, you have to look after the baby at its most helpless during those extra weeks of leave. Are you sure that you consider a few extra weeks of looking after a child to be worth 18 years of looking after the child? Like I’m not doing a silly hypothetical where I ask if you consider yourself more or less likely to consider having a child in future, I am asking you, personally, if you will be having a child and raising it should men recieve more paternal leave.

Would you honestly take on at least 18 years of responsibility for another human being in exchange for a couple of weeks off work? Do you seriously consider that an incentive?

who thought that getting a cheesy splatter film director was a great decision?

Honestly on paper that sounds pretty good, Borderlands should really work as a bit of a campy gorefest. Just… not Eli Roth.

Use Kelvin then, 314°K is a way bigger number

Right, so uni fees don’t need raising, they need funding given back.

domestic undergraduate fees remaining frozen since 2012

Not untrue, but they like tripled or quadrupled fees a few years before then, so I’m pretty sure it still accounts for inflation.

Always been partial to the classic

Your position is based on your assumption that unionists in northern Ireland are representative of Irish people rather than English people, despite an ongoing race war over their englishness. Catholic and protestant communities are still walled off from each other to maintain the relative peace. The idea that imperialism and colonialism are some unimportant detail of the past is preposterous, they’re ongoing issues that make up the core of northern Irish politics.

You don’t belong here, reactionary. Would you tell First Nations Americans that the white Europeans occupying their lands are real Americans, representative of them? Do you tell Palestinians that their occupiers are Palestinians?

Like I don’t understand why you’d bring such an obviously ignorant take to the table - do you genuinely know nothing of why it’s Ireland and Northern Ireland? Do you know nothing of the Troubles? Do you think the violence and ethnoreligious lines just disappeared when the good Friday agreement was signed? Do you not know about them because your education was inexpensive?

Not sure if you heard, but Ireland had this big thing over the English living there. Northern Irish protestants are English.
