The people that comment on BBC news seem to mostly consist of right wingers.

Which is amusing and confusing, because so many people comment complaining that the BBC is left wing.

'I hate heights! Which is why I always go bungee jumping!'

Reading media from the other side is great in some ways!

Sometimes I agree with parts, which gives me the smug satisfaction of being open-minded   Well, not-fully-partisan at least.  Though sometimes I do learn that certain extremist groups are worse than I thought (after I do my own homework, because Fuck The Fourth Estate).

But mostly it reminds me how dishonest and hateful they are.  I wouldn't turn my back on an angry dog, so why should I ignore this shit?  They hate me, and their lies hint at their plans.  It'd be stupid to ignore them.  I just want to live in peace, but they won't ever allow that.  My suffering is their obsession.

Obviously that's not all conservatives by a longshot
But, the talk radio half my family listens to...  Good people who have shown a lot of love *despite* eating up all these lies for decades.
Like, calling my dad a hippy and me girly for our long hair.  But at least we still get invited to reunions, right, because I'm not stupid enough to tell them... anything, really.  I'd just be "shoving it down their throats", right?  Best not to challenge or respect them, just let them die off?

Oh except their kids and grandkids are coming up just as brainwashed.  And they have a *lot*, because of farming background.
... So yeah, I listen to talk radio, because it's out there and it's taken very seriously.

(Calling the BBC liberal is pretty silly though, they're kinda paragons of neutrality   European center appears American far left though)

Friday is the best day for love.

SO GO FORTH AND LOVE
AGRESSIVELY_{and consensualy}

Thank God The Nine its Friday though, right?

You mean The Eight, right you subelf?

I don't have anything against heights. Some heights are great. Tall bridges. Cliffside monasteries.
But when I see a height going all the way to the bottom it makes me sick to my stomach.
Sorry, high things. You're just not what god intended for us. Otherwise he would make falling not hurt.

I think the cliché pretty much fits my attitude to height.

"I'm not afraid of height, I'm afraid of falling."

I don't have any trouble parachuting, being on a plane, bungee jumping, or watchig cities from the top story, but I get vertigo if I know I could trip and fall to my death, like when hiking.

* Ultimuh enters the showracemenu console command and changes his own race to Altmer.

Who do you think you are, to call me SUBelf?
Besides, you DO remember that we are MER. Use proper Altmer language, you uncultured Scamp.

There's actually two kinds of fear of height. An optical one, and a rationalized one.
The optical fear manifests at the moment when people look down a steep hill or bridge. It manifests even in virtual reality.
The mental fear is more like 'omg the railing might fail, no way I'm going anywhere near the edge', and does not persist in virtual reality environments.

For me, its a little bit of both. Mostly the latter.

...that's the point. If conservatives disagree with a news-source, they are quick to call it LIBERALLY BIASED.

[pisskop]

Youre liberally biased.

BBC is more center than cnn, and thats somethings

Oh yeah? Well reality is liberally biased, so I'm a member of a reality-based community! Take that, melonfarmers!

[Frumple]

Oi. You leave my wide and varied selection of quality melons out of this.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalěs]

Oi. You leave my wide and varied selection of quality melons out of this.

...I thought that most organisms only had a single melon.

[Frumple]

... well, if you were actually trying to use the term as a body part euphemism instead of actual produce, you'd... still be mistaken, actually. Melon's probably most commonly used in that field as a stand in for breasts. So most organisms would have either zero or two or more, more still if you're counting some of the other uses, too.

[pisskop]

Head.  melons are heads.

[Rolan7]

I would say that most humans have three melons, except I think the word only applies to heads and *big* breasts.
