This is actually the ceasefire position. They are deliberating on peace talks. The queen is mediating, and even though she may not be impartial, she is generally well liked among both sides.

Of course, silly. Why would a cowgirl wear a cowboy hat. You have a cowgirl hat :3

I’m really not understanding this can someone come give me a demonstration

Its qrstuv isn’t it?

Edit: yep. Blocking them is one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Am I the only one who is physically repulsed by this use of emojis?

He’s right, you know

Womp womp no amount of success in any way can make her less of a heinous loser.

Oh yeah no I get the idea, it just distinctly reminded me of Scratch

When you want your whole system to look like a Scratch project

Nutella is so fucking rich I can’t stomach eating it unless it is spread nicely

This wasn’t defederation over the actions of a single user, it was over the (seemingly intentional) inaction of the moderators

Nobody is saying you can’t call them out. They (me) are saying that it is laughable (see: ironic) of the UK to do so, whilst also being the correct thing for the UK to do.

See my example in my previous reply.

I don’t think that any further value would come of continued discussion between us - feel free to reply but I’m done here. Have a good one!

Acting like it was “hundreds of years ago” does nobody any good.

Even if we ignore the existing forced (oft unpaid) prison labour, the British have made strong use of slavery recently enough that people are still alive who may have lived through it.

I have no doubt that Katy acknowledges the atrocities going on in her own country, we don’t need to engage in whataboutism.

It is hypocritical and laughable for the UK to lecture other countries on slave labour. It is still, also, right for anyone to call out countries for using slave labour.

To extend this to a more extreme example, if Russia was to come out and criticise Israel for their disgusting assault on Gaza, it would be both laughable and also correct.

I mean, as a UK citizen, she’s right. And also the UK isn’t too far behind the US in terms of killing the poor and lgbtq+

However, if they have any way of actually confirming these panels are made with slave labour, then it is a positive move to refuse to use them. But failing that, this is getting in the way of green energy growth.

If you really want to dig deep about this, go to therapy. It is incredibly helpful for complex issues of self.

that is a wild page

I mean on its own it doesn’t, much like 1 person being vaccinated. But each individual who does it will perhaps inspire more people to do it and so on and so on. If it were to take off it could have a measurable impact.
