Yes - but it is meant to be deliberately backwards as a check and a balance. The idea is that if every law was made and passed by the currently elected politicians only then there’d be a flood of kneejerk reactionary populist laws only. The idea is to have some people with an eye to the bigger picture…

Yeah - back in the day A/S/L was asked so you had a rough idea of the type of person you were talking (typing) with…

37/M/India v 15/F/US would give you a very rough idea of the demographic the other person belonged to - and might shape your conversation differently.

I see people add milk, I see people add cream - is butter that different?

Everyone in Syria is facing their own personal jihad - best of luck to them.

I have no idea why your comment would get removed. You’re entitled to your own opinion and to ask questions… and yes, it was fairly tame. I wouldn’t immediately classify you as an anti-vax lunatic on the strength of what you wrote.

I’m far more alarmed that people with zero medical or scientific background think they can just wade into debates about vaccinations that they have zero knowledge about… a Facebook post and a quick web search doesn’t equate to a phd and thirty years experience in a specialist field.

I normally get about four years or so out of an iPhone, with heavy and extensive daily use - works out as less than 50 (US) cents a day. I used to pay more for a newspaper.

I only made the switch when BlackBerry OS10 “failed” and they quit making handsets. I still miss my Z30 though…

I meant the censoring of “whore”…

[–] Noel_Skum 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The wildest bit of unnecessary censoring I’ve ever seen…

I’ve never seen “explanation” spelt with a “k” rather than an “x” but otherwise it seems easy to read.

I don’t mind your style of written English, it’s putting the fun back into phonetic.

How are people still struggling with the basic concept that the person who runs Blahaj can do what they want with Blahaj?

All I get from this type of moaning is: “I joined a decentralised platform and now disagree with decentralisation in action.”

If this kind of action is what it takes for Blahajists to protect their necks then this is how it’s gonna be…

Yeah, yeah. I know it looks that way but they actually have more vowels than the English… go figure.
