Methinks the JD doth protest too much.

Or trusted.

That is interesting!

My problem with using defunct letters is that it requires a lengthy explanation, and even then is still hard to read. It would be easier just being in a different language entirely, at least I could copy and paste into a translator.

Which still doesn’t really answer why use them. Why make it intentionally harder to understand your comments? What’s the upside to it?

Edit: I’ve looked at your previous comments and saw you explain it to someone else where they’ve come from and your preference, but I feel like if you have to explain it to everyone it can’t possibly be a useful way of communicating.

I’m probably going to regret asking, but why the odd letters? And why, as near as I can tell, are there two different ones for ‘th’?

I’m guessing that’s in reference to your reply to someone else about messages going out asking for donations after the supreme court decision? That may be in poor taste, I’ll grant you, bug doesn’t change the fact that it still wasn’t the democrats that made the decision in the first place.

If Person A punches Person B, and Person C could have stopped it, I would still blame Person A for throwing the punch.

I mean, I am utterly befuddled at how you could reach that conclusion.

It’s a bold take to blame the side that failed to prevent something, rather than the side that actually did the thing.

But not from X. Checkmate haters.

They’ll release it in two weeks.

OK… It is in the very first sentence of the article.

No it isn’t. The first sentence is “New York police have defended their actions after a bystander was shot in the head as two officers tackled a fare-evader armed with a knife in a busy subway station”. Nowhere there does it specify that the police were the ones that did the shooting.

Edit: The article seems to have been updated since my initial comment, the opening sentence now reads “Protesters in New York have demanded accountability after police fired at a suspected fare-evader in a busy subway station, hitting a bystander in the head”. However, the headline is also different, and is about protests, so I wonder if the whole article has been replaced.

You can get shot by the NYPD any day, but how many opportunities are you going to get for a free knife.

What an oddly flattering photo of Trump.

The real Reddit 2014 memes were the friends we made along the way.

To be a bit of a pendant

To be a bit of a pedant, it’s pedant.

I feel like you’re overestimating your ability to subtly shit yourself.

I too am a fan of the film Sesevenen.

I’ll grant you, Boebert wasn’t the first person to make the claim. But I doubt she’s got an awareness of historical allegations from an association that most people who don’t follow boxing won’t have heard of. I suspect she’s either jumping on a bandwagon of other people making the claim, or making a claim based on her ‘feeling’ that Khelif doesn’t look traditionally feminine.

But it didn’t. She was disqualified from the competition, it wasn’t clearly stated why. And as previously mentioned, there are huge questions of trustworthiness regarding that organisation. I also have my doubts that Lauren Boebert has any awareness of previous allegations, but suspect she has just jumped on an assumption as many online seem to have done.
