To be fair though, it really does. Everything we eat and drink gets broken down into nutrients, absorbed and used to make new cells. There’s nothing spiritual about “you are what you eat.”

How do I get a drink with no ice in it? Every time I say “no ice”, I get ice. I even tried asking for no ice, the drink, no ice, in a glass with no ice, and STILL GOT ICE WITH IT.

Naah don’t do that. Beethoven went deaf and that didn’t stop him. There are other deaf musicians out there: Evelyn Glennie for one. And I’ve played for a deaf person who said she was able to feel the vibrations even if she couldn’t hear them, so she definitely appreciated the performance.

It’d be a big loss but it wouldn’t be catastrophic. Beethoven went deaf and that didn’t stop him.

I could focus in on the pure music inside my head that isn’t degraded by the normal music transmission channels.

I’ve read enough written music to be able to hear it in my mind’s ear when I read it, so learning new stuff would still be possible.

I would miss being able to crank Summer of 69 up to 11 though.

That’s the problem with listening to tankies.

If an atheist abuses a kid should we fuck atheism too?

So it’s correct to refer to a Nazi being hung then.

So is it pronounced “Jizz-lane”?

Oh is that why cliff richard hasn’t died yet?

For large values of 2, yes. There are 9 listed here, and more if you include those that didn’t cause any deaths (such as Three Mile Island).

Must be, because all those reactors in non-capitalist places are running just fine and none of them have ever exploded.

OK but first make sure they’re an actual Nazi and not one of that “someone who disagrees with me” kind of almost certainly not a Nazi.

That’s great if public transport goes from near where you are to near where you want to be, in a reasonable time.

For me that’s not the case. Anywhere I want to go takes 27 changes over at least 5 hours for a net distance of three miles; it’d be quicker to hop backwards blindfold on a bent pogo stick.

Ní Peitikech sin.

Oh right, so we can add revisionist to that list.

What do you mean nothing to do?

The USA has been self governing nation for long enough for them to solve their own problems, especially as they have a staggering amount of wealth and security.

Quite a few ex-colonies have done rather well for themselves too, so “the destruction our expansionist empire caused” can be recovered from. One can only wonder why it’s our fault some places haven’t recovered yet.

I also wonder which destructive expansionist empire you’re part of, Mr Pot.

That was hundreds of years ago. All the shit over there is your own doing now, nothing to do with us.

I think it’s because of Charlie trekking across the universe.

No. Trains go from nowhere near where I live to nowhere near where I want to go, except in rare circumstances like if I stay in London for a few days. I did go through a phase of being dependent on (non-London) trains and hated every minute.

So for me it’d be yet more tax with no benefit.

What do you mean you “will” live with gun violence as a daily occurrence? It already is.
