It's a single country with a single currency, a single government, a single history, and a single language. Yes there's a lot of variance within the country, but it's really nothing compared to visiting Europe.

What about the giant colourful letters saying MARIO PARTY makes you think the isn't a Mario game?

I'm assuming the person you're imagining to be objectively bad is either literally Hitler or a skinhead neonazi with swastika tattoos and a history of violence, right? What about people who joined the Nazi party because the alternative was having their lives destroyed, or the kid with a bad home life who was radicalised by a gang of thugs who are his only friends? They're both fascists and victims of fascism, where do you draw the line at who should be killed?

Obviously most people agree that WW2 was justified to stop the Nazis conquering the world, but you can't just say "it's OK to kill someone because they're X", because then you just need to label whoever you dislike as part of that out-group and suddenly you've justified killing whoever you want.

It's never fine to say "it's fine to kill all X". You need to stop fascists, but you can do that without fucking killing anyone you've decided is evil.

Before there was Photoshop the program there was a literal photo shop where you edited photos IRL!

I'm in Britain, things did get very slightly less bad this year!

Hey Uncle Sam, the USA isn't the whole universe!

Well the other thing is that it's very difficult to instantly tell from a pseudonymous internet comment whether the writer is a normal person up for a civilised discussion or a troll just looking to wind people up. And no offence, but you sounded pretty pro-brexit so not unreasonable to suspect you were a troll!

Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.

Whether or not you're intending to do this your comments do come off a little bit like that. I don't really like the term that much as people often use it to dismiss any further discussion, but it could be why the other commenters don't want to chat.

Alright, alright, the shurethra if you want to get technical

Looking at this and your other comments I think they just don't want to engage with the sealion

Only works if you pronounce "dune" like "doon", but I'm not going to let pronunciation get in the way of a good pun

 

Lavatory paper, toilet tissue, bog roll, bumwad, arse wipe, shit tickets; we all need it but I can't find a good one for a reasonable price.

Obviously I don't want the tracing paper you get in a public toilet, but it seems a waste to pay for the quadruple-velvet perfume-soaked premium nonsense. Supermarket own brand is soft enough but tends to fall apart. Who Gives A Crap is environmentally friendly but their basic stuff disintegrates immediately and their premium stuff is even more expensive than the fancy Andrex.

And no, there's no room for a bidet.

 

Do any of them know what the word "liberal" actually means?
