I think Elizabeth being dead helps. There would be no way to arrest him without her intervening in some way and/or ppl having to reckon how with the queen they like helped her son abuse kids. Now that uncomfortable truth can be sidestepped, along with Charles being far less likely to intervene

I guess the key is "eupemism contains both taboo and mundane things, and if it was the latter you'd say it explicitly to not let ppl assume the former".

Like with the above the possibility space includes him being a pedo, so there's nothing you wouldn't say to avoid ppl assuming that.

What's the term for euphemisms that are theoretically vague that when used become very specific?

For example "oh he was fired for being inappropriate with a student", hitting a student or giving them test answers for money are both inappropriate but that 95% of the time means inappropriately sexual

That must explain it, after Starmer's courage on everything else from immigration to poverty. Similar to how corrupting Jewish influence is the only reason Western governments would not care about their allies killing civilians in the Middle East /s

Any advice for wording ppl could use in writing to their TDs to prevent their deportation?

🗣️ "Our lives will never be the same without him."

More than 300 people attended a demonstration calling on the Minister for Justice to intervene as a family who sought asylum face deportation. 

The Oyekanmi family arrived from South Africa in late 2023 and received a deportation order last year.

Hey now you can see why all those comedians endorsed fascism. Imagine those feelings, plus being surrounded by yes men ever since you got renewed for seasons 2-8, minus your maturity and empathy and genuine principles

It's making me appreciate Fallout 4, as half baked as it all was at least the Institute, Railroad and Minutemen were new spins on the concept of American retro future. And also stuff happened. It was new dumb with nuggets of gold rather than oops all dumb nostalgia bait

He said fascists were exaggerating how bad the economy was and leftists hated him cos of how hard they were falling for it. He could get shot by ICE 2moro and they still wouldn't forgive him for pointing out how the Trump campaign played them all like a fiddle

It's also close to being Cecil in Invincible, watching ppl get hurt while your supes whine about their god damn personal lives, not that you have no sympathy for them but ffs Mark reflect on ur dad being shit when the city is 80% not on fire

Have you played Dispatch? It's essentially a game entirely of being in a positive version of Waller role: managing a team of reformed villains, and constantly hassling them to stay on mission and do their jobs while they keep screwing up and impulsively bailing on missions

Also he was a big fan of the Elon Musk, the Nazi connected to Epstein who has already killed more ppl with USAID cuts than the invasion of Iraq.

He killed a rich guy who hurt him personally while loving a far worse rich guy, he's anti-billionaire the same way Will Smith is anti-actor

Wow the guy who insisted that victims of horrific atrocities shouldn't be trusted turned out to be a pedo, shocker

Musk killed more people with DOGE than the US in Iraq and Afghanistan combined, but we are not ready for this discussion, especially with everyone self-censoring themselves.

It's also so weird for Sinn Fein to be smug pacifists. When I kill Jean McConville it's an understandable woopsie cos her I Heard Down The Pub she's a snitch. When you kill Russian soldiers before they can kidnap your children you're a bloodthirsty warmonger distracting from the real issues

We really need to normalise not letting kids be alone with Trump voters, make them feel like pedos since they want them in charge everytime nuggies get expensive

I mean to me the obvious tell is how the guy obssessed with Epstein conspiracies never mentioned the guy once in his Trump interview. He didn't care whether Trump raped kids as long as his taxes got lowered and uppity women got owned, he's just hedging his bets in the least committal way

I think with Blade, Xmen and Spiderman you could still get some kind of MCU but Iron Man wouldn't be the de facto lead of it. Maybe Fox makes a deal for more IPs to build a shared universe.

Hell maybe their Xmen shared universe does better without being compared to the Avengers

Homer Simpson staring blankly with the caption "money can be exchanged for good and services"

How could a desire for better food and more free time turn into profit margins and overtime?

Either that or send ICE to kill ppl who operate a forklift without being forklift certified, or drive with expired insurance, for consistency

I mean my relatively radical take (prolly not enough for online radicals but enough to get shit in irl convos) is that we treat this paperwork misdemanour as a paperwork misdemanour: small fine and/or community service, then give them the forms they need to fill out with harsher enforcement after

In 100 years ppl will look back on every evil stupidity inflicted on the world in the name of preventing a misdemanour of not filing proper paperwork before crossing an imaginary line in the dirt with the same mix of confusion and disgust we feel towards witch trials and inquisitions

Magneto's the kind of mutant reductionist that would tolerate infinite other evils as long as they keep sending weapons to Genosha, cos any non mutant deserves what they get and any mutant deserves it for not moving to Genosha

Most of the answers ppl are giving imo don't consider that any decent villain would kill Trump and replace him with a more stable racist puppet. Imagine Mr Sinister getting into Trump's inner circle, organising some crazy evil experiments, only to find out the funds were cancelled by Big Balls

Nah man he said 400 years, on that timeline the Pakistanis have nothing on the true menace: the Irish hordes

Meanwhile every left of center politician is responsible for the tweets of LeninsPowerBottom62377

Still waiting for one guest on his podcast to ask "why didn't you even mention Epstein one time during ur interview with him?"

Many people think immigration happening on larger scale than is really the case The report by the ESRI found that many people overestimated the proportion of people in Ireland who were born in another country.

"People guessed around 43.8% of people born outside of Ireland were availing of social housing compared to the real figure of 6.1%."

"Calm down only 1/3 of Americans support letting Trump rape children as long as he murders brown ppl" that is fucking horrifying. Also another 1/3 can be convinced of that position if nuggies get expensive or if they see too many trans ppl on tv.
