The police have, however, claimed that the woman was having an affair with another person and was beaten up by him and his family members.

That’s the same fucking crime you uniformed dunces!

Letter from Charles Darwin to Asa Gray (22nd May 1860)

With respect to the theological view of the question; this is always painful to me.— I am bewildered.— I had no intention to write atheistically. But I own that I cannot see, as plainly as others do, & as I shd wish to do, evidence of design & beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent & omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidæ with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice.

Lasagne - I got layers.

It’s a funny thing, I used to a werewolf but I’m alright noo^oooooow.

Offensive language.

It’s a very parental idea, it seems motivated by a desire to control the conversation on a broad scale.

There’s a lot of children, of all ages, on the internet.

Downvotes absolutely suck. And that’s why some users are so attached to them. Part of the culture that evolved on reddit was that if anyone even mentioned downvotes some people downvoted them “on principle”. I have seen people argue that without downvotes upvotes are meaningless. I think that really people like downvotes because it’s the nearest most non-technical users can get to reaching through the screen and punching another user.

Needs this to be in the middle.

Back in the day you would have asked for a flattop.

You could always save a picture to your phone and then ask them to do that. They’ll probably still ask if the length is alright but it’s up to you to instruct them from there.

It’s all very well people going on about accordion man’s impatience but if you also had a leg hose full of okra to empty you’d soon see how it feels to be clowned on by a glam rocker with a bucket.

Back in the day I was told:

The volts give you the jolts
But the amps give you the cramps

Probably not, but they’d definitely patent the method.

The beoseu unjeonsa came in ten by ten, hurrah, hurrah!

When you’ve got someone saying things like: “I am the light” clearly we’re beyond the particle/waveform level of confusion.

Ahhhhhhh, I get it. JESU 1 had problems so he had to go to JESU 2 to heal him. Unfortunately JESU 2 also had problems that were beyond the combined powers of him and JESU Prime which caused JESU 3 to come into existence. So this here is JESU 23, he’s just fixed JESU 22’s shit but he’s a bit unsteady walking on water with the extra limbs so he’s off to see JESU 24.

How many Korean bus drivers does it take to escort a six-toed Galilean to… where is Jesus going btw?

Dell are shit. It was a good day when the last Dell in the family was switched out for Macs.*

*I don’t like Macs either but I could plausibly refuse to support them on the basis that I didn’t know how they worked and the hardware is all locked down.

Some decade and change ago I used to sell people Drupal installs at £200 a pop. They’d get a pretty secure codebase, the ability to add content through a gui and if necessary have customer accounts.

Pretty much what killed it as a business was everyone expected to be on the first page of Google because business advisers were telling them that sitebuilders should do SEO as standard.

How am I supposed to ask for my yellow bentines now?

My mate was out at a book launch for a musician and one of the young bar staff was wearing a t-shirt of a punk band from the 70’s. He was having a good natured banter with her and pointed at the shirt saying, “Like you know who that is.”
“That’s my Dad.” she said.
I have a funny picture of them posing for a selfie together afterwards.
