Let me put it in words of one syllable for you, since you're desperately reaching for any goalpost you can find to shift: I don't know who you think you're talking to, but it isn't anyone who's replied to you on this thread.

Heavens, it's lucky we have people as smart as you to put the rest of us in our place. That guy has told you repeatedly, for instance, that he's not American and views "Trump voter" as an insult. And yet you persist in accusing him of being an American Trump voter, while jerking it to the sound of your own voice - surely the act of someone a cut above the common herd, who's not a self-important asswipe at all.

Honestly, the BBC never report on protests, and the people behind the protests always get mad about it. They just aren't newsworthy unless something happens besides the fact of a protest.

Essentially, this story is free advertising for the protest.

Thank you! What a great explanation. I'm always amazed by how much cooler things are than I expect.

I've got to ask, though—how is breathing CO2 pollution? Aren't we just taking in air, removing the oxygen, and exhaling the waste gases? Isn't there the same net CO2 afterwards?

Have I misunderstood something as simple as breathing? Please say no.

So are Irish conditions different from conditions over the sea in Wales, or...?

From what I can tell, the secret is rubber boots.

Wasn't the issue with this one that money was changing hands in exchange for a printed, physical book? Like, I know the team wasn't making money, but it's understood in fanfic circles that this is a Bad Idea and this was a very high profile (and, sadly, professional-looking) project.

The work is now on AO3 alongside countless other Star Trek fanfics that exist with no trouble. If they'd done that all along, I suspect there would never have been an issue.

Linehan being attached to something isn't a plus these days...

Seems like only yesterday I was co-admining my first public server in 1996.

Fun times.

Just cook the chicken and eat it. You won't notice the feathers.

I keep bookmarks whenever I get them, also picture postcards etc. I have some that I've bought, others I've made (e.g. knitted or embroidered). Mainly I use strips of thin white card that I razor off an A4 sheet.
