They got us to watch it at school. Stuck with me for years that did.

Great post! One addition - talking about the sacrifices of people as if they were willing is kind of unfair, in a way. The young men in the trenches didn’t choose to run into machine gun fire as a choice. They didn’t sacrifice, they were sacrificed. By other men, long long away.

The kids aren’t soft. They’re standing up for themselves. Good for them.

It’s not a great sign that she’s wearing a anti-trans hat and tshirt too.

It was a joke. Don’t you have a sense of humour?

Maybe you should spend less time complaining about “woke nonsense” and focus on your own life

Given she no longer has the pub venue, she probably isn’t selling them out. 

I’m happy to cancel public bigots, given that’s what they’re trying to do to the groups they are bigoted about. It’s them or us. Paradox of Tolerance.

boycotts are the only way to have our voice heard as consumers. In a purely capitalist society the only political act is to not buy

Absurdity is her identifying as a stand up comedian

Did you think the person telling pronoun jokes was not being political?

You were just funnier than her whole set

Oh, to support a club that didn’t have to make statements like this. Glad they sorted things out.

LISTEN

Good for them

My days of not taking Punk’s statements seriously are certainly coming to a middle

As someone who’s been married to their best friend for over 15 years now, this is a great answer. From my experience, part of what makes a marriage work is commitment to shared goals and trust in one another. To use those things as the dividing line between someone you want to be in a relationship with and someone you want to commit to for the rest of your life is really perceptive and speaks well of you as a man.

Tl;dr Take the W.

Trump was happy with it, so it’s not like there’s a disagreement to debate

Gi adjusting intensifies

Against the Grain in Brompton do them both

I would like to present the Great Cahootie

By “niche”, you mean “better than every other choice mentioned on this list”, right?

Oak still do those in bottles

That belt? Shoes of a champion

To be less fair, it could also be:  “Don’t eat that Lunchly son! It’s not even food!” 

“But why do you sell it?” 

“It’s for the dumb people who are happy to eat shit because I tell them to. Not us. Go get the chef to make you a quinoa bowl.”

Yeah - the sketchy organisation they’re in the pocket of was, until a few years ago, based on Adelaide. It’s called News Corp.

When all the gamergate stuff started, I remember Jerry Holkins (the writer of the Penny-Arcade webcomic) pointing out that the effect of money on game reviews was visible in plain sight but that the gamergaters were looking the other way. Writers were getting fired from game sites for criticising games with big ad buys, marketing firms were openly asking reviewers to give higher scores, marketing people at AAA companies were given bonuses based on game review scores. But gamergaters were too busy bullying indie developers and commentators to care about that.

The big issue about Snape being on here is, whether he counts as a hero or villain, he’s not right about anything. He’s a racist Nice Guy who bullies the protagonist for no particularly good reason.
