  • Time is as imaginary as up/down, left/right, forward/backward.

    That is to say that the concept and it’s consequences exist no matter what we call it. Time is not a human thing, it’s one of the dimensions of the space in which we exist. Calling it “time” and a “second” being as many vibrations of a caesium as it is, that’s the human bit.

    Here’s one for you;

    “Uncanny Valley.” Why do we have a lizard brain level instinct to be wary of/uncomfortable around things that look almost human?

    At what point in our evolutionary history was being afraid of something that looks nearly human, but not quite, a useful survival trait?

    Were we preyed upon by something that looks almost human for long enough to evolve an instinctive warning?





  • Because if FPTP was ditched they wouldn’t ever get “their turn” again.

    Labour and the Tories are essentially the same at this point, and just taking turns to fill their pockets at our expense. Reform are just fascists in waiting, and make no mistake, are in it to line their pockets too.

    We need more than electoral reform, we need a seismic shift in how politics works in the UK. The politicians need reminding who they work for. The taking turns pillaging the country from subsidised restaurants and hidden back offices in that ancient tinderbox in London needs to be stopped.

    HoP needs razing. I’ll keep saying it until enough people realise I’m right. Those buildings embody the London-centric, entitled, self-absorbed attitude of our entire political system. They need to go.


  • Nine bullets that hit the kid they were “aiming” at, who was on the other side of a chainlink fence that his cerebral palsy prevents him from scaling no less. Multiply the number of pigs involved by the magazine capacity of their firearms to find out how many rounds were actually fired.

    Both awful shots, and fucking cowardly to boot.

    They should be stripped of their authority and paraded through the streets tarred and fucking feathered for what they’ve done.

    What they’ll get instead is paid leave, and moved to another precinct upon their return to work, at worst.

    The US is fucked from the ground up, all Trump is doing is accelerating the decline, waving the corruption around like a flag, rather than behind closed doors. (Like it’s done everywhere else)

    Edit: 4 pigs, guessing 11 round capacity, means 44 rounds expended, to hit with 9.

    I have never fired a handgun in my life, and I am confident I could do better than that. The fact that “trained” individuals are this bad is humiliating to those involved.
