Blocked 'em. Thanks

There’s a pretty big difference between a Social Democrat and a Democratic Socialist. Only learned that pretty recently myself

Thankfully, if made incorrectly it’s pretty good. A shepherd’s pie made with baked beans, or a jam roly-poly served with real vanilla ice cream is decent!

Are you sure you’re replying to the right message? Bit of a non-sequitor

A “holy mackerel” if you see something surprisingly big

If you don’t give a fuck, maybe prove it by ignoring it and moving on, instead of DECLARING IN ALL CAPS YOU DONT CARE ABOUT IT

Because otherwise, how it comes across as is “I find politics highly annoying/uncomfortable for some reason, but I also want people to know that about me!”

Ethically? If you would’ve bought it if you couldn’t pirate it, you should probably buy it.

It would require being couched in some kind of international law, and there really isn’t one that applies to all countries

It’s been tried before, usually as a joke. Kids magazines that say “not for sale to adults”. Gaming mods that make you pledge your first born to the developer. To work, the laws of the country the user is in will apply, and will have to be enforced.

Reading LHOD at the moment! About half way through. Really interesting concepts

Good answer. Will have to check that out (only read Earthsea so far)

Pic unrelated. Apparently I had to add one before posting so this is just the latest pic I was sent.

I think what this shows is that the idea of communism attracts the worst type of people as leaders. They enjoy being in charge of everything about a country, and/or can’t believe people don’t act the way communist theory says they would act under communism, so kill them for being corrupt traitors in order to fix the system.

Jay Foreman - definitely British, definitely funny, but its much more than that. Their series Unfinished London talks about infrastructure over the last hundred years and how it’s affected the layout of the city. Really interesting and pretty funny.

Seconded. Love their stuff. Also Contrapoints (who Philosophy Tube kinda ripped off, but hey ho, both great content.)

FD Signifier is good too.

Everyone who wants to fly to America has to. Am curious what would happen if I ticked Yes next to “have you ever associated with communists”. Do they just kick you out or is there a lengthy interrogation process first?
