the twat in the hat.

i think corgana meant zero people who reply with meaningless comments just for the sake of replying, like those tiresome one-line joke threads that choke up every big subteddit.

“Moon of Alabama” is completely divorced from reality. CIA bio weapons labs in Ukraine, complete vehement denial of Russian invasion plans until it happened, then an instant switch to it being a glorious liberation, denial of Russian war crimes and ethnic cleansing, denial of Assad’s war crimes… a textbook firehose of falsehoods.

if you want the most demented conspiracy theories, sure

Lucky DUCKS!

you mean a computing pool, like SETI@home since the late 90s?

absolutely no need to make this idea stink of a crypto scam.

also, the bats flapped, the fish bubbled, the sun smiled and the robot flailed its hooks wildly.

“never” was specifically about the need for a passport, not the existence of stops. Stops were rare after the mid-90s, intermittently put up when there was a local bomb scare.

i’m “skipping” points that aren’t relevant to the original claim, that today NI would be “free” if only England wasn’t in charge. My point was that the GFA’s principle of consent is respected by both the UK and the Republic of Ireland, and so the ruling class of England is not today holding NI against their collective will. Derry Girls had the GFA referendum in the final episode - please remember that was 26 years ago already, society has changed massively since then.

The main issue for most nationalist-leaning people (btw, in Ireland, nationalist always means Irish nationalist. nobody says “british nationalist”, you say unionist or loyalist instead) these days is waiting for the Republic’s health-care system to match the NHS in terms of affordability and quality. Everyday issues like that - most people in the north have a distrust of “the flag” being the most important issue.

Getting into alternate-history “could have …” ideas doesn’t change the real today. Nobody here suggested that, (for example) Orange marches were dealt with well, or Ireland has been treated well in history.

I did ask you what you meant by “set em loose”, and didn’t get an answer. Also “Welsh and Scots would def let it go” - again, what means exactly do you believe England is using to not let it go, in 2024? The NI Secretary will hold a referendum as soon as public polling indicates the time is right. Your “de-colonization” plan sounds like ethnic cleansing of the Ulster-Scots population who have been there since before the Mayflower reached America.

I do agree wholeheartedly that action should be taken ASAP to undo what Russia and Israel have been doing to expand their territories, while we’re still dealing with the actual settlers, not their great-great-great-etc grandchildren.

sure, anything’s good to get mad about if you just make things up.

what specifically do you have in mind by “set em loose”, if not the referendum i talked about?

would you rather the six counties be “handed over” without the consent of the people who live there? how is that less imperialist than the Good Friday Agreement which you seem to be angry about?

a passport is not required to cross the border. never was. you just drive straight through, no stops since the mid-90s. I can tell you’ve never been to Ireland.

please don’t talk to me as if I’m british.

Derry Girls is a great show, I’m glad it’s popular, but it isn’t a substitute for reality.

While I normally don’t give the Brits much credit, gotta say NI is not being held in the UK against its collective will. Your imagined cruel English oppressor holding on to land by force, opposing the will of the local population, is out of date in the 21st century.

Almost all Brit politicians would love to be the PM at the time of Irish unification.

Since 1998, the NI Secretary is obliged by treaty to carry out a referendum for unification as soon as polling indicates there’s a reasonable chance it would get a yes majority.

It just hasn’t happened yet. It probably will, within a few decades.

It’s not more precise, it becomes inaccurate.

A man says he’s 6’6". Sure. If he’s anywhere between 6’5½" and 6’6½", that’s true.

You say he’s 198.12cm tall. The range of this being true is now thinner than a needle. It has gone far beyond what anyone actually measures. In over 99% of cases, it’s not true, and if it is, it won’t be for long, because the human body isn’t nearly that consistent from breath to breath.

The conversion with spurious false precision has made the number go from true to not true.

The man is six foot six, yes, true. The man is 198.12cm - no he isn’t.

so many researchers toasting their bagels and yet never using your dedicated bagel button will wear you down.

When the original value is only precise to plus or minus half an inch, it makes no sense whatsoever to do a conversion that’s a hundred times more precise.

nobody is measuring people to a tenth of a millimeter.

i doubt i would have time for cooking at an active orogeny.

been there once - saw a delivery of some big canisters of gas 🤔

No, that’s not why.

One can reasonably assume they studied the communications for a few weeks to figure out who’s who, and then sent the detonate code to a certain list of pager numbers.
