    I don't really believe in anybody "deserving" anything tbh, whether that's bad or good. The criminal justice system is actually useful because it mitigates risk - if someone has done something that harms other people then there's a high chance they'll do it again, so they get locked up for a...

    Oh I just remember that my Da used to work in a slaughterhouse in the 70s/80s, and back then they used to kill the pigs with CO2 ... again I presume that means they died of anoxia. He said it was way more humane than the old way (which in fairness was just cutting their throats and letting them...

    I was talking to pilots once where part of their training was for them to be in a room where the oxygen was taken out (I presume by just filling the room with nitrogen), and they didn't notice anything until they were revived. I can imagine for a human knowing that you're being killed would be...

    "Untested"? How do you test killing someone?

    I wonder when the Irish stopped being those immigrants. We certainly were considered those when I was working in the BMW factory in Munich in the summer of 1991

    I dunno what side that shouty guy in the video clip at the start of that thread is on, but he's sure talking a lot of shit

    It's kinda the endgame of judging all behaviour by its impact. If anything that hurts people's feelings is bad, then anyone can claim anything is bad

    An awful lot of what we think/believe is what people around us think/believe. My whole perception of this has changed over the last few years working in a much more international place - I'm continually amazed by how deeply the yanks think America is the world, and how they genuinely believe...

    Hey, let's reduce people's identities to their gender and race! What have these moaners got to protest about?

    really? how come? (my favourites are the white ones (i.e. pickled rather than salted) but I love the salty ones too ... also fish sauce is made from fermented anchovies)

    Proper pizza is yum. Favourite toppings: white anchovies and artichoke hearts (yes yes I know - notions-y as fuck, but fuck all y'all)

    My Ma's sister brought her a pizza tray back from holidays in maybe 1980, and Ma would cook pizza as a kind of show-off-y meal when people visited. It'd be only the one deep-dish 12-inch pizza between everyone, accompanied naturally by spuds. She used to put that shake-on dried parmesan from a...

    Erm why is it ridiculous to say "tax the rich" at a rich person's event? Wouldn't make sense to say that at a poor person's event, sure it'd be fairly obvious to everyone there already
