Some middle-aged guy on the Internet. Seen a lot of it, occasionally regurgitating it, trying to be amusing and informative.
Lurked Digg until v4. Commented on Reddit (same username) until it went full Musk.
Was on kbin.social (dying/dead) and kbin.run (mysteriously vanished). Now here on fedia.io.
Really hoping he hasn’t brought the jinx with him.

I have nothing against China as in the landmass, nor most of the people that live there. They have an ancient history, a fascinating set of languages, interesting culture, wildlife, natural beauty, but beyond that, the Chinese are just people, trying to get by, like everyone everywhere else.
What I don’t like is the way the country is run. Especially the fact that I’d be unwise to go there for espousing such an opinion.
I could say much the same of Russia, for that matter.
And my own government and the other parties who stand a chance of becoming a future government here all seem to be headed in a similar direction and I don’t like that either.


So now they’ll dump it in a warehouse somewhere and raise prices to pay rent on that warehouse like all good scam recycling companies do.
And they’ll tell the EU that they’re waiting for an opportunity to sell it but that hasn’t arisen yet. And thus, by and large, they won’t change how they operate.


Freedom to kiss Putin’s ring? What more could you want?


At first glance, sure. But then, strength in conviction and leadership mean nothing if you’re strongly leading your people and your country into ruin.

Good call. They unprinced Andrew, they can unlord Mandy.


Sure you can, but why fabricate evidence against someone when you can trick them into making real evidence?
The hard job of fabrication begins if and only if that fails.


Nah. He has other tricks. Sending in armed goons and cheating at golf are a couple of them.
I suppose you could go to the root of all these for the real lone trick: being a self-serving piece of [redacted]


And Israel only need bring up that Australia did something similar with their own brown people a while back, so why can’t they do it right now?
“That was then, this is now.” is not the greatest of arguments.
Which is why I said we should leave that can at the back of the cupboard.


Tricky prospect. If they admit Australia on that criterion, they’d have no good reason to not admit Israel if they asked to join, and that’s a can of worms I don’t think Europe would want to open. Best leave that can at the back of the cupboard.
Now, if we could find some other criterion, I don’t see why not. Sticking it to Britain by accepting all of the Commonwealth except Britain could work as an argument, and might even be popular on the continent.
It would have to be couched in cleverer language, of course, for the sake of plausible deniability.


I wonder how likely it is that the Mafia would like and respect ICE agents. And if that’s not likely at all, whether they know of any very deep holes.


Putin considers Ukraine to be part of Russia and thinks that anyone with a differing opinion is wrong. I hadn’t really thought about that previously, but it does somewhat patch the hole you found in my logic.


Vat is problem. Is job.

Well, Richard Stallman is an archetypal greybeard, so there’s a tenuous link there.


The anti-Christ that doesn’t know or is pretending that he doesn’t know he’s an anti-Christ, seeks to warn people of people like him, but not him specifically because he’s warning them about it, so it can’t possibly be him.


There’s something ironic about real bears being repatriated to a country run by a toy one.


They asked, and were refused, in 2012 according to this article: https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/germany-gold-reserves-us-storage-repatriation-concerns-13878824.html
Heck, it wasn’t even a Republican government at the time. That gold is gone.


Oh thank f–k. I don’t think I could have handled there being a war with the US over Greenland.
Now all I have to worry about is the Online “Safety” Act and the rise of authoritarianism and the far right in my country!
I’m surprised those signs don’t include sinistralité. Those left-handed f–kers are up to something even worse than the gays, I’m sure of it.
