The nearly indigent “free lunch fiend” was a recognized social type. An 1872 New York Times story about “loafers and free-lunch men” who “toil not, neither do they spin, yet they ‘get along’”, visiting saloons, trying to bum drinks from strangers: "Should this inexplicable lunch-fiend not happen to be called to drink, he devours whatever he can, and, while the bartender is occupied, tries to escape unnoticed.

While Norm did spark the initial debates that formed linguistics as a study, pretty much all of his ideas and theories in the field have been thoroughly discredited. He basically was so incorrect that people formed an entire academic discipline to prove him wrong.


Alex the Parrot learned how to use syntax and grammar, as well as invented his own portmanteaus of existing words to describe complex and mixed ideas.


Syrian security forces participating in anti-ISIS cooperation is Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man

Accusations? I merely pointed to your own comment that you are assuming bad faith and how that contradicts with the site code of conduct and your role. You yourself admitted to engaging in bad faith and making assumptions immediately instead of engaging

Mods, like all users, need to follow the code of conduct, this has nothing to do with me but with you. Mods in fact need to be held to a higher standard than the user base overall. These types of disingenuous and bad faith accusations against indigenous art reflect poorly on not only you but this site


i’m being facetious, sorry. Of course these are all color revolutions. I’m mocking the western left tendency to fall for it again


i mean the symbol is transposed on top of Trump, Clinton, Ben-Gvir, Netanyahu and images of Gaza. It’s clear what the context is and that it isn’t about “all jews” but specifically about the genocide that Israel is perpetrating.


but it’s not a color revolution


Good, but I can’t imagine this ends well for them. Just like kneecap and bob vylan they will be dropped by their record label, blackballed by venues, have their visa revoked in the west, sanctioned and punished legally until they apologize and grovel. I suggest they leave the UK immediately if they wish to retain their integrity and principles and freedom.

Notably Palestine/Israel are not mentioned once. The only things mentioned are trans rights, “being a kind person” and disliking Trump. Given that the BBC is a major zionist mouthpiece, there’s a certain amount of obligation to address that first and foremost as the most pressing issue. Sadly seems like he’s just a basic lib. Still not a good portent of things to come, but it’s sad that even the most “principled” among the BBC are still like… this.

If you aren’t operating in good faith with your comrades on this site you are in violation of the rules and spirit of the community are you not?


i think the benefits of locked-in monopoly far outweighs any type of legal damages. All corporations yearn for the monopoly, it’s a feature of late stage capitalism and we’ve seen the tendency time and time again.


ostensibly require them to proactively moderate.
why? Or what? Like I said, laws are made up. They are ignored or arbitrarily and inconsistently applied all the time. Automated tools are getting more advanced, and they don’t care about false positives really so they’ll just crank the dial of the strictness of the modbots while looking back at the government for approval.

if that’s anti-veganism, than your comment is anti-indigenous. Two can tango at this game compadre


They already censor whatever the US government requests!
Ok so they’re already upholding their end of the bargain. Why would they be upset about the government making their monopolies permanent and official and upholding the governments end of the deal?
You’re assuming the courts will entertain lawsuits or press charges against the big 5. Why not just give them de facto immunity like they already do with cops, military, banks, etc. where they don’t really bother ever enforcing anything? Laws exist to bind one group of people and protect another group of people. The Big 5 will simply be in the protected category that is not subject to law.
Corporations break laws all the time, constantly. They’re enforced maybe 1% of the time against them, and usually when another rich person is negatively impacted in some way. Look the the CFPB, they had hundreds of thousands of open cases of corporations breaking consumer protection laws that were all gutted and shut down by the Trump admin 1st term. Nobody is enforcing that stuff anymore. They laws still exist, they didn’t go away.
i mean imminently. we don’t have another century to have partial victories and collapses back into reaction
