Reply to comment by Kind_Bullfrog_4073 in Cyclist suspended after killing San Marino minister’s cat with air rifle by Zou-KaiLi
Maybe dragged behind a squad of very energetic, long distance, cat loving cyclists by the rope around his ankle...(without stopping for many many miles).... Have a real passionate hatred for anyone that harms a fucking cat
Edit... I hope I managed to stay within the rules "about keeping it civil" as I would have loved to expressed my views on this in far deeper depth as a long time cat lover (50+ years of being owned by my various feline master and mistresses)

It happens so much that I keep dreading the comments of a nice photo only to learn it's just a pure karma grab using other's work, so respect to the OP for a real OC picture

Yeah how fucking insane is it that anyone believes this propaganda / indoctrination
.....Oh thank you so very much for saving us from being killed because you were the ones bombing and killing us... FFS they could have saved millions more simply by not doing anything in the first place and not starting their illegal war

Reply to comment by Deranged40 in Signal would 'walk' from UK if Online Safety Bill undermined encryption by HeroldMcHerold
I wonder if it's just coincidence that the authors of things like 1984, Brave new world and Brazil are all from the UK and whether it was just them seeing what the future would possibly be like here or the Tories using them as inspiration because they are from here.

Even if the neighbours try that you can guarantee that almost everything they provide will be taken and used or sold elsewhere by the wealthy in charge and fuck all will get to the poor / starving that really need it

Reply to comment by catfurcoat in Samsung Bixby will clone a user's voice to answer phone calls by Stiven_Crysis
Guess this shows how sad my life is as without any call screening at all, I don't get any scam / spam / unwanted calls, hell I hardly even get any calls / texts at all. If my phone rings once a month it's unusual and 99% of my texts are automated credit card notifications regards the monthly amount about to be taken from my bank, or notifications from the chemist regards my meds

Only until it gets hacked and this warning gets removed

Yeah cannot allow anyone to ask questions that might have embarrassing answers for the political elite if answered fully and without censorship / propaganda in the answer.
Fucking XI showing just how insecure he is and how much his rule relies on lies, propaganda and censorship, he wouldn't survive if the light of genuine facts was to hit him

Reply to comment by Van_GOOOOOUGH in Pakistan: PIA orders cabin crew to wear undergarments in bizarre circular by witwacky
Copy paste for you as you don't want to click
> In the issued circular, it has also been said by the PIA that both men and women should wear clothes according to the cultural and national environment of Pakistan
> Karachi: The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has issued a unique decree for its crew members. According to Pakistani media reports, the PIA management has ordered that cabin crew members must wear undergarments while on duty.
> Poor dressing by members of the cabin crew is reportedly tarnishing the image of the PIA.
> In the issued circular, it has also been said by the PIA that both men and women should wear clothes according to the cultural and national environment of Pakistan. The PIA, which is operated by the government of Pakistan, has asked the crew members to strictly follow the rules.
> In a circular issued by PIA General Manager (Flight Services) Amir Bashir on September 26, it was claimed that some cabin crew members dress casually while on duty.
> “It has been observed with great concern that a few cabin crew tend to dress casually while travelling intercity, staying in hotels, and visiting various suffices. Such dressing leaves a poor impression on the viewer and portrays a negative image of not only the individual but also of the organisation,” the PIA circular said.
> Not surprisingly, the diktat was massively criticised from several quarters, terming it as “inappropriate.” The national carrier immediately withdrew the bulletin, due to the backlash it received, Geo News reported.
> Barely 24 hours later, the airline, in an attempt to downplay the incident, came out with a carefully-worded clarification.
> “Despite the fact that the spirit behind the advisory was to ensure proper dress code, however, the standard bulletin, inadvertently, came out with an inappropriate selection of words,” PIA’s Chief HR Officer said in a written clarification.
> “I personally feel regretful and am fully convinced that the words could have been more civilised and appropriate in this context instead of words published, which, unfortunately, are being trolled and twisted towards the defamation of the company,” he added.
> In an earlier incident, the PIA had hogged some unwanted limelight when a passenger created a ruckus on a flight traveling from Peshawar to Dubai. During the September 14 flight, a passenger had kicked at the windows of the plane and had also punched the seats. When an attempt was made to stop him, he had also misbehaved with the flight staff.

Reply to comment by Jolly_Job_9852 in Actors need to play multiple characters again. by [deleted]
He was going to play a 4th character as well because that was part of the conditions set by Colombia Pictures otherwise they would refuse to fund the movie, as he was also supposed to be Maj. "King" Kong, who was eventually played by Slim Pickens
> It’s well known that Peter Sellers played three roles in the film: Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, President Merkin Muffley, and the titular character, Dr. Strangelove. But Colombia Pictures originally set a condition for Kubrick: The studio would only finance the film if Sellers played at least four roles in the movie.
> In addition to the three aforementioned characters, Sellers was originally meant to play the Air Force Major T. J. “King” Kong, but Sellers was reluctant since the beginning. He initially voiced his concerns to Kubrick stating that he was worried about the workload and was afraid that he would not do the character’s strong Texan accent justice. Kubrick managed to convince Sellers to take on the role and even elected co-writer Terry Southern who was raised in Texas to help Sellers with his lines. But once filming started, Peter Sellers fell on set, exacerbating an injury the night before and was unable to continue with filming in the cramped cockpit set.

You could have simply pointed out the typo instead of insulting the person by suggesting they never learnt the difference.
There's a vast difference between making a typo and not understand the difference between 2 words and you instantly jump to insulting them instead of simply taking it as a typo and being polite about it

Do you understand what "blue balls" means? As in, a bloke that's been sexually excited and is left with aching balls due to not ejaculating... and thus they are joking they got blue balls after spending money on onlyfans which is sexually provocative.
