Fallow, outdated, fishing weights, items of sentimental value - all that superstitious claptrap.

[AzyWng]

Fallow?

Doesn't fallow generally mean unsown or unplowed?

[redwallzyl]

Depends how common said things are. I'm sure you can go to an old dump site and retrieve some old steel. there are many places people have just been dumping trash for a long time. look in ravines near a old cites and towns and your likely to find piles of old cars and random metal shit people just dumped there. I'm sure there's some old site too where they have found just a stupid amount of scrap lead bits from somewhere where they cast it or something that could spare some for no great loss.

Harrison Ford belongs in a museum.

Who knows... in a thousand years even he might be worth something

As for the Spanish king, I cannot say I am terribly impressed. It seems terribly gauche, all those things he gets up to. 'The fact that you can does not mean that you should' is a reliable little lesson of life, one that the King of the Spaniards ought to consider. For it is ever more true for a monarch.

That's absurd.
I haven't researched him at all and the entirety of my knowledge of the man comes from this discussion, but he sounds like a king who knows how to be king.
Good on 'im. 



Re: Politics: You know, earlier I was planning on spewing out some generic, half-hearted, mildly amusing rant on the topic of democracy vs monarchy and how useless democracy really is with all the bureaucracy and regulations stifling it, but then it occurred to me that perhaps it just suffers from the same problem as communism - the "true" form of it seems nice on paper, but it never works on so large a scale as a modern nation and winds up twisted into something nasty.   
An interesting thought I guess.

Literally any political ideal ever.

Hooray humans.

I don't know, certain ancient empires seemed to do a pretty good job of keeping their shit under control until entropy happened.

Regardless, let's just break everything up into city-states, much better.

Now this is what I call quality content.

Just this week, the new Miss America, an astonishingly beautiful black woman with a nuclear physics degree, gets racist comments, death and rape threats because she made sure to say in her speech that she isn't a feminist and that men and women have equal opportunities, as long as they put an effort to it. Internet feminists are ok with this.

Sweden makes a list of people it finds hateful and opressive towards minorities, puts richard dawkins, jontron and pewdiepie in it.

Also EU propaganda is on the level of north korean cartoons.

What a time to be alive.

[Silverthrone]

No, Sweden did not make a list of people that it finds hateful.

However, an individual who where the weekly curator of the Twitter account belonging to the Swedish Institute (an authority managed by the foreign office, more or less the official institute for all things Börk) did so, with the approval of the institute.

I believe that there is a difference there, albeit a much less snappy meme-tastic headline.

Rest assured that there has been quite a lot of local complaints about it. I think that it is a terribly, terribly stupid thing to do, and this great 'pre-emptive block strike' is just another expression of the phenomenon in which some people in office cannot function in an environment that does not behave precisely as they would like.
Further, the idea of the Institute of Börk, and by extention its Twitter-presense, is to give a nice, big slice of the nation as a whole, and the people in it. Which is why I take this whole business very poorly indeed, for I do not feel the slightest bit represented by this whole business. Indeed, the only thing they have managed to do is to represent ten million people at once as petty, frightened, weak-minded dunderheads.

[AzyWng]

Hooray humans.

I'm not sure how Jontron or Pewdiepie are hateful and oppressive to minorities (I'm assuming racial minorities), but maybe that just means I'm implicitly accepting their racism and thus belong on the list.

The only thing certain these days is death.

Not what happens before it, or what happens after it, mind you.

Just death. The actual dying thing and all.

I'm not sure how Jontron or Pewdiepie are hateful and oppressive to minorities (I'm assuming racial minorities), but maybe that just means I'm implicitly accepting their racism and thus belong on the list.

In Jontron's case it is because he said some things in a debate that were construed as racist, specifically "Rich Black People commit more crimes then poor white people"... as well as a few comments in general.

In Pewdiepie it is because he told two REALLY tasteless jokes... One of which involved harassing a minority (not because they were a minority but because his joke relied on them not knowing English)... as in he actually harassed someone in real life

Was it the one with the Italian and the waitress?
